Chapter 31: Don't Want Soft Eggs

  The next morning, I called over to Zhao Ziyang and Ma Long's dormitory a few of the thugs who had just defected to me, including Qin Yong, Wang Gui, Zhang Bin, Jia Xingliang, and their younger brothers. Then I repeated to them the conversation between those two men that I had overheard at the Little Wine Immortal yesterday.

  I had already told Zhao Ziyang, Er Niu and Zhan Yong about this matter early on. After calming them down, I asked them not to express their opinions in the current meeting for the time being, because I wanted to hear how these new people would react to this matter.

  As for Ma Long, I had arranged for him to go out and gather information early on.

  This matter is not only related to Tie Lu, but also involves the legendary An Kang of Yizhong, so I can easily see their loyalty and courage from the reactions of several people.

  After I finished speaking, Qin Yong stood up first and said: "Feng Ge, whatever you say, I'll do it. You tell me to do Tie Lu, I'll do Tie Lu, you tell me to do An Kang, I'll do An Kang!"

  Qian Yong was about to get up and roll up his sleeves, I pressed down on his shoulder and pushed him back, saying: "Brother Qian Yong, don't be impatient, listen to the opinions of the other brothers first."

  After finishing speaking, I turned my head and looked at Wang Gui, Zhang Bin and Jia Xingliang.

  The three of them looked unnatural, it was clear that none of the three had expected to join this organization and hadn't even had time to enjoy the glory before being hit with such a big thing.

  I'm not in a hurry either, just standing there waiting for the three of them to respond. ?? Tian Sheng Hun Wang 31

  Zhao Ziyang couldn't bear to watch anymore, let out a cold "hmmph" and turned around to smoke.

  Jia Xingliang was the first to speak up after a while, saying: "Crazy brother, this thing won't go wrong, will it? Why did Iron Donkey, who is doing well in high school, go to mix with An Kang and even want to make some kind of gesture?"

  I smiled and said, "I also don't want this thing to be true. After all, I have no grudges or conflicts with this iron donkey. However, every word spoken by those two people in Xiaojian's words was heard very clearly."

  Jia Xingliang said, "Feng Ge, I think it's better if we investigate this further. What if someone wants to drive a wedge between you and Tie Lu, and deliberately arranged for these two people to tell you about it?"

  I said: "If that's the case, then those two 'actors' can get an Oscar, anyway I didn't find any flaws."

  Although I said so with my mouth, I also reserved my opinion in my heart about what Jia Xingliang said. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten Ma Long to investigate the identities of those two people who were talking at Xiaojiuxian yesterday and see if they are really mixed up with Tielv.

  Jia Xingliang still insisted on his own opinion, saying: "Feng Ge, since we followed you, we must be on your side, but before opposing Tie Lu, let's clarify the truth of the matter. This is also our responsibility to our brothers, what do you think?"

  Jia Xingliang finished speaking, and Wang Gui and Zhang Bin also immediately echoed him.

  I don't know what to say, after all, the three of them just started hanging out with me, and some small concerns are normal. As long as they can stand up for me in big things, I won't ask for anything else.

  At this time, Quan Yong stood up and rushed to Wang Gui, Zhang Bin, and Jia Xingliang, saying: "You guys are so nagging, Crazy Brother says what is what, you have so many useless words, after all, who is the big brother, is it you or Crazy Brother?"

  Jia Xingliang had never seen Tan Yongfa's fierce side before, and he sneered: "Tan Yong, when we big brothers talk, what does it have to do with you? Besides, I'm not like you, I have brothers under me, and I need to consider their well-being."

  Jia Xingliang's words had just fallen when Zhao Ziyang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and sneered: "Which big brothers are talking? How many big brothers do we have here? I only know Crazy Brother, is there another one? What about you, Old Jia, do you also want to be a big brother and sit on an equal footing with Crazy Brother?"

  I saw Zhao Ziyang clenching his fist and about to take action, so I stood up and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down a bit.

  However, I also had a fire in my heart. This Jia Xingliang was too arrogant to speak in front of me, his elder brother. If I didn't do something today, then Wang Gui and Zhang Bin would learn from Jia Xingliang and show off their power in front of me too?

  Jia Xingliang was also made to feel that he had said something wrong earlier by Zhao Ziyang's words, and hurriedly added: "Brother Zhao, I didn't mean it that way. I meant that I'm of the same generation as Wang Gui and Zhang Bin, not including Crazy Brother."

  "This is getting out of hand: 'You mean you're a notch above me?'"

  I didn't expect our organization's first internal meeting to start with infighting, and my anger grew even more. I slammed my fist on the bed rail and shouted: "Damn it! This is my newly recruited brother who has gone crazy, and I haven't even confirmed if we've really gotten into trouble yet. You're all finding various excuses to escape, what if I really get into trouble? Won't you guys just slip away with your tails between your legs? And another thing, I haven't seen any other skills from you guys, but when it comes to infighting, you're all top-notch!"

  At this time, Ma Long also came back from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he heard me say "infighting". He immediately asked me: "Crazy brother, what's going on? What infighting? Didn't we just drink yesterday? How did we have infighting today?"

  I understood Ma Long's question and asked him: "How is the matter I let you investigate?"

  "Rest assured, Crazy Brother, I've investigated clearly. You had me guarding several dormitories in the Iron Donkey class, and I really did guard those two people yesterday. They live in the same dormitory as Iron Donkey and even went to the self-study room with him early this morning."

  Ma Long finished speaking, and I smiled and said, "Now it's confirmed, right?"

  Tan Yong nodded and said: "Feng Ge, whether it's true or not is up to you to decide, anyway, whoever you say we should fight with, I'll fight with them. We're brothers who have shared a drink."

  I looked at Qin Yong gratefully and pulled him into my arms.

  Jia Xingliang, Wang Gui and Zhang Bin had a flickering expression on their faces. Before the situation was clear, they were hesitant and I could understand that they were afraid of being deceived and losing their own strength. But now that the facts are in front of them, they are still hesitating, which means there is only one outcome: they just came to take advantage of me, without any intention of sincerely getting along with me.

  What use is such a brother who can only share in good fortune but not in hardship?

  I stared at the three of them and smiled for a while, and they also felt a bit embarrassed. It was still Jia Xingliang who spoke up first: "Crazy brother, we can hang out with you, but that Qin Yong can't be on an equal footing with us. We all have our own brothers, how can he, a lone wolf, be on the same level as me?"

  Tan Yong wanted to come out and argue, but I pushed him back. This Tan Yong team only listened to my orders, so when I pushed him back, he stood still behind me without moving.

  "Jia Xingliang, first of all, let me tell you that among our group of people, there is no such thing as a big brother or little brother. Everyone is equal and brothers. They call me 'big brother' not because my status is higher than theirs, but because they respect me. So when you say you want to be in a position higher than Qin Yong here, haha, sorry, I can't do that. Because my status is the same as Qin Yong's. If you want to be in a position higher than him, then that means your status would be higher than mine. Let's not talk about anything else, Jia Xingliang, do you think you have this qualification?"

  Jia Xingliang saw that I was unhappy, and hastily said: "Crazy brother, I didn't mean it that way. What I meant to say is that I can never be brothers with Qin Yong, anyway today he's here instead of me."

  The brothers in this organization are like my own brothers, and there's no use keeping him around anyway.

  I smiled and walked to the dormitory door, opened it and said: "Please come in!"

  Both Xia and Ma were stunned, I didn't think of a way to resolve the conflict, but instead used my elbow to nudge Qin Yong, in this way our hard-won organization would collapse.

  Jia Xingliang's face turned red with anger: "Feng Ge, what do you mean by this? Do you really think that I, Jia Xingliang, plus my three brothers, are not even a match for one Qin Yong?"

  I smiled and said, "That's right, even if you guys can beat Qian Yong, I won't want you because first of all, you don't have loyalty to me, secondly, you're too timid, and thirdly, you absolutely won't be the kind of people who share joys and sorrows together."

  Before they could respond, I said: "I'd rather use 100,000 elite soldiers to exchange for a good general, and Quan Yong is that good general. However, you are not the 100,000 elite soldiers! So, you're not welcome here, please leave!"

  Jia Xingliang's face completely fell, his face filled with anger as he said: "Crazy brother, don't speak too excessively! I want to hang out with you, but I also don't want to be on bad terms with An Kang and Tie Liu because I'm not capable of offending them. I still consider you a big brother, but this time, I won't participate."

  Jia Xingliang finished speaking, and Zhao Ziyang on the side couldn't take it anymore. He rushed over and grabbed Jia Xingliang's collar, saying: "Are you stupid? Following Crazy Brother around, when fighting you still choose opponents, if the opponent is too strong you don't dare to go up, right? Then go deal with Liu Tao, we are also arch-enemies with Liu Tao. If you don't even dare to move against Liu Tao, then you're not qualified to be my brother."

  Jia Xingliang's face turned green with rage: "Haven't the matters between Crazy Brother and Liu Tao been settled? If we go after Liu Tao now, won't it tarnish Crazy Brother's reputation?"

  Damn it, this kid really doesn't even dare to move against Liu Tao.

  I was so angry that I burst out laughing: "Jia Xingliang, are you saying you only know how to bully the weak? If that's the case, then get lost!"

  Jia Xingliang wanted to say something else, but I didn't give him the chance. I turned to Qin Yong beside me and said, "Throw Jia Xingliang out for me."

  Tan Yong nodded slightly, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Jia Xingliang's side. He then bowed his head and shoulder, bumping into Jia Xingliang's waist. Jia Xingliang let out a pained "Ah" before he could even react, and was already hoisted onto Tan Yong's shoulders.

  Qin Yong took three big strides to the dormitory door, shouted "Hey" and with a burst of strength, he really threw Jia Xingliang out.

  Jia Xingliang fell on his buttocks and then got up, scolding as he ran away.

  At this time, the others in the dormitory were all stunned. They didn't expect that I would really expel Jia Xingliang, and they didn't expect that I would ask Qin Yong to throw Jia Xingliang out, and Qin Yong really threw Jia Xingliang out.

  Jia Xingliang's younger brothers looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to do, as their elder brother had abandoned them and run off on his own.

  I looked at Jia Xingliang and said: "You three can go find your big brother now!"

  Three people hesitated, and one of them, who seemed to be the temporary leader, stepped forward and said: "Crazy Brother, we're not going to follow Jia Xingliang anymore. We'll follow you instead. We're not cowards either. We also want to make a name for ourselves by fighting with big shots, but we just haven't had the chance yet."

  Ma Long smiled and said: "It's strange for you three to have a chance following Jia Xingliang, that soft egg."

  I figured out that these three people really didn't want to mix with Jia Xingliang, and they also had some bloodlines, so I left them behind. However, I wouldn't consider them as the backbone of the organization, so I handed these three people over to Ma Long to manage.

  Ma Long was naturally overjoyed.

  Having settled Jia Xingliang's affair, I turned to Wang Gui and Zhang Bin and said: "I won't make things difficult for you if you don't want to follow me, you can leave now!"

  I looked at Wang Gui and Zhang Bin, who were hesitant but didn't intend to leave, so I said: "Following me, a madman, my requirements are not many. First, you must treat all the brothers as your own brothers; second, when a brother has something going on, you can follow him to get involved and help out; third, when our brothers are in a good situation, we should be together in that glory! If you can't do these three things, then you can leave."

  Wang Gui and Zhang Bin looked at each other, nodded and said: "Crazy brother, we'll follow you."

  Before I could even speak, Wang Gui took the initiative to offer his brothers to me for distribution. I just smiled and declined: "Wang Gui, you're overthinking this. I accepted Jia Xingliang's three brothers under Ma Long because I thought Jia Xingliang wasn't qualified to be their leader. But you're different, you have the qualifications, and your brothers are loyal only to you. If I were to hand them over to someone else to lead, they'd probably hate me to death."

  As soon as I finished speaking, several younger brothers under Wang Gui immediately "hehe" laughed and also called me their big brother.

  Wang Gui also nodded in gratitude, saying: "Crazy brother, you were indeed like a madman just now, but now I think you're a genius. Damn it, I'm thoroughly convinced by you."

  Zhang Bin looked at Wang Gui with some embarrassment and said: "Crazy brother, what about my brother..."

  I smiled and said: "Still giving you face, don't worry, your little brother is only obedient to one big brother."

  Zhang Bin said to his subordinates with a hint of embarrassment: "Listen up, from today on, Crazy Brother is your big brother. Whatever he says, it's the same as what I say. You must listen and you must do."

  Several younger brothers also smiled and said: "Got it, Zhang Ge, we are your younger brothers, and also Crazy Brother's younger brothers."

  After we have united as an organization, I continued to say: "Since our organization has come together, let's discuss how to deal with the matter of Iron Donkey using my name to submit a nomination."

  Just as I finished speaking, several people nodded, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man's voice came: "Oh, having a meeting? Yi Feng, come with me to the administration office, I have something to ask you."

  Alright, this person is our Dean of Studies.
