Rebirth of the world

Chapter 180: Testing

"Brother, what are you talking about? There will always be only one great elder in Hongmen. How come there are two great elders?" The third elder's face changed slightly and he said quickly.

"I see. The third brother has the potential to become the great elder." The great elder looked at the third elder meaningfully and said slowly.

"I'm old. I don't think about these things anymore. The three elders like me have done a little bad. How can I dare to think about the elder." The third elder frowned. "The position of the elder will always belong to the eldest brother. I don’t accept whoever sits in this position. I only accept you, my eldest brother.”

"Third brother, you can't say that. You see, my current situation is not good. So the position of the great elder will have to be replaced sooner or later. Although third brother, you are not bad in all aspects, and the relationship between you and me has always been So good. But this kind of thing can't just rely on this. I have to give the position of the great elder to someone. After all, this position is still very important. I have to think about the future of Hongmen." The great elder stood up with an expression on his face. ."Third brother, you understand what I mean."

Doesn’t it mean that I am not suitable to be a great elder? That’s so good.

"I understand what you mean, brother. In fact, I have never thought about becoming the great elder. You see, I am quite happy to be the third elder." The third elder smiled awkwardly and said.

"Third brother, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can say it. Don't keep it in your heart. We are all brothers. We can discuss it. If you are doing something secretly, then don't say that I don't do it. Think of brotherly love." The great elder said mysteriously again, with a slightly vicious look on his face.

The third elder felt a knot in his heart when he saw the expression on the eldest elder's face. He immediately smiled and said, "Of course. We are all brothers. We can discuss anything."

"Stop talking. Make some tea first." The great elder snorted in his heart. He suddenly thought of this matter and couldn't help but say.

The third elder patted his forehead gently and smiled awkwardly. "Look, I forgot about this while chatting with you. You guys sit down for a moment. I'll go right away."

"Gang leader, what do you think is the most important thing when a person lives in the world?" After the third elder left, the first elder said meaningfully.

"There are no certain standards for this matter. Everyone's pursuit is different, so important matters will naturally differ." Lu Tiancheng was so shrewd that he naturally understood the meaning of the great elder's words. However, he did not answer directly.

"That's true. But I think the gang leader's pursuit is very high."

"Haha. That's what the great elder said. I, Lu, don't have much pursuit. I will be satisfied if I can be the leader of the gang."

"Napoleon said that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. But in my opinion, the gang leader is a good soldier."

"There is no specific boundary between good soldiers and bad soldiers. Of course, whether you are good or bad is up to you."

"Do you have any suggestions for the selection of the Great Elder?"

"The Great Elder already has a candidate in mind, so why bother asking me? Besides, this kind of thing is not my responsibility." Lu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and said.

"Although there are certain boundaries between the elders and the gang, the gang leader can still give some advice on this kind of matter."

The elders of Hongmen are equivalent to the cabinet. And the gang leaders only deal with external matters. In other words, some things require Hongmen to step forward. Then the gang leaders can represent Hongmen. But within Hongmen, all the real rights are in the hands of the elders. .

"I don't know much about the elders, so the advice I gave is not very helpful. So this matter is entirely up to the great elder. I don't have any objections."

"Okay. Since the gang leader has no objections, I'm relieved." The great elder suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, and said happily, "Tiancheng, Hongmen is in crisis now. At this time, our Hongmen can't There can't be any problems. The most important thing now is to unify and stand on the same front. Only in this way can Hongmen go further."

Could it be that this old man knows something? But wait... When Lu Tiancheng thought of this, his heart flashed with determination. "What this great elder said is that the reason why our Hongmen has always been able to occupy the first position. Of course and Internal unity is inseparable.”

"Haha. Now that the gang leader has said so, I feel relieved."

"What are you talking about? Why are you chatting so happily?" As soon as the third elder walked in, he saw the happy look of the elder and couldn't help but ask.

"It's just a casual chat. It's nothing. What a nice tea." The great elder chuckled, smelled it, and said with a smile.

"It is indeed a good tea. Even before I drink it, the fragrance is everywhere." Lu Tiancheng also smiled when he smelled the fragrance.

"That's right. This tea is of the highest quality. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't be willing to give out so much. Haha..."

"Look, you are so stingy. We are just guests here. Besides, we can't drink much." The first elder pointed at the third elder and joked.

"Brother, I'm just joking with you. Even if I take them all out, I won't feel bad. Besides, eldest brother and Tiancheng come here only once in a while. As long as you are free, you can come and sit here often." The third elder said to everyone Every cup was filled. The aroma suddenly lingered and filled the entire hall.

"What a good tea." Lu Tiancheng sniffed it gently and said intoxicatedly.

"Oh, this is such a good tea. It's a pity that I can't drink it more than once." The great elder suddenly said sadly.

"Brother, let's take advantage of the joy today and let's not talk about these things for now. Come on, let's enjoy it slowly."

"Third brother, Hongmen will still have to look to you in the future." The elder sighed softly and said seriously. "Since ancient times, unity has been needed. Only unity can we develop better. Hongmen has always been able to prosper in the past. .It depends on unity.”

"Brother, of course we know this. Brother, I also know what you want to say. No matter who is the elder, I will cooperate well."

"With your words, I feel relieved." The first elder took another sip. Seeing that the third elder and Lu Tiancheng did not drink, he couldn't help but stop. "Drink. Why don't you drink."

The third elder's face changed slightly. He was about to say something, but Lu Tiancheng interrupted him. He put the cup to his mouth and smelled it gently. "Drink good tea slowly."

"Come on, they say that tea tasting is also an art. Today I saw the Great Elder, which was an eye-opener. I didn't expect that the Great Elder's tea tasting skills are really top-notch."

"This is nothing to do. So I can only mess around with this."

"I'm going to the toilet first. You guys can chat slowly." The third elder was always uncertain. Sitting here felt a little uncomfortable. Especially when he saw the elder elder's face, he felt a little guilty.
