Ten minutes later, the hall of Maoxiang Tea House.

Zhao Benhu looked left and right and asked, "It's almost time to come, right? Why hasn't the fifth master arrived yet?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "Seeing that there is a heavy security here today, it seems that the big brother of Bincheng is coming?"

Uncle Sun, Sister Hong and the others did not speak, but they obviously guessed as well, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became serious.

Although they are all elites from all sides, their positions are not too high. In front of the big brother of Fang Shou on one side, he is still a little restrained.

Lu Yu was also rubbing the teacup quietly, he was really a little curious, who is the big brother of Bincheng Hongmen?

Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, the fifth master's trademark laughter rang out at the same time!

"Hahahaha! Welcome brothers to Bincheng, the fifth brother on behalf of Fang Shou greetings all brothers!"

As he spoke, the bald fifth master strode down the stairs, followed only by a young man of medium stature, wearing a black cap, with red lips and white teeth, and two mustaches.

Seeing the arrival of the fifth master, Lu Yu and Uncle Sun and other elites immediately stood up and saluted.

After the fifth master looked around, he flashed and pointed to the young man with a peaked cap behind him and said, "Let me introduce you brothers, this is a brother sent by the overseas rudder, and this time I am also going to the capital with you to meet with all the brothers." ”

The young man in the cap took a step forward, saluted everyone with three half-incense gestures with both hands, and said, "Li Xiaobao, I've seen you." ”

Everyone saw that this Li Xiaobao was also a Hongmen person, and they immediately returned the gift with Hongmen's gifts.

Then Zhao Benhu asked: "Brother Li is from overseas, I don't know how many brothers Kunzhong are?"

Li Xiaobao groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "There are eight brothers in the lower room, and the sixth in the second room holds the blue flag. ”

This is also a code word, the eight brothers refer to the eight halls of Hongmen, the long room is the inner eight halls, the second room is the outer eight halls, and the blue flag sixth is a position like the red flag or the black flag five.

Li Xiaobao's words are precisely to indicate his identity and position.

The position he mentioned was the position of the sixth elder of the "patrolling" blue flag in the Outer Eight Halls of the Hongmen Branch.

This position is not high, but low is not low.

Among the halls, the first, third, and fifth are respected, and although the sixth patrol is also one of the eight halls, his actual status is only a little higher than that of the small leader.

Just like the fifth master, the "Red Flag Old Five" or the Black Flag Law Enforcement Old Fifth in the hall, belongs to the middle and high-level of the entire rudder.

As for the sixth patrolman, he can be regarded as a middle-level at best.

Among the people present, Sun Buer's "Uncle Sun" is in the same position as Li Xiaobao.

Uncle Sun smiled when he heard this: "Brother Li can take on the position of patrolling the wind at a young age, and it seems that he is also a young talent!

The fifth master was stunned at first, and then laughed and said: "What Brother Sun said is extremely true! Brother Li is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, and I am a rare talent in Hongmen! Hahahaha!"

The rest of the crowd also laughed along with the fifth master.

Only Lu Yu frowned lightly imperceptibly.

Wrong!

Although he didn't understand the rules of Hongmen, he keenly noticed the subtle changes in the expression of the fifth master!

The fifth red flag who was rudder-splitting in a dignified party actually praised a young man who was rudder-splitting overseas in front of the rest of his brothers.

Even if this Li Xiaobao is really a brilliant person, there is no need to boast like this, right?

And this Li Xiaobao also has problems.

Others praised him so much, but he didn't mean to be humble at all, and he didn't even say the simplest kind words.

Is he so crazy that he doesn't have the slightest awe for the fifth red flag?!

If my expectations are good, then this Li Xiaobao is afraid that there is still a big future!

At this moment, the fifth master has already begun to introduce everyone to Li Xiaobao.

After a while, the two of them had already come to Lu Yu's side.

The fifth master smiled: "Brother Li, this Brother Lu Yu is not from my Hongmen, but he should not be underestimated, he is the champion of this year's new tea people!"

The two mustaches on the side of Li Xiaobao's mouth turned up slightly, and he stretched out his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Lu, long up!"

Lu Yu shook hands with him with a slight smile, and said, "The fifth master is falsely praised, it's just a fluke." ”

Li Xiaobao lifted the corners of his mouth: "Brother Lu, why be modest, your performance in the tea evaluation is enough to be described by the word amazing, and it is expected that the future will be immeasurable." ”

Lu Yu didn't expect that this Li Xiaobao didn't look a few years older than him, but he was so old when he spoke, and he didn't feel that his heart was moving again.

He immediately asked, "I don't know where Brother Li comes from?"

Li Xiaobao smiled: "Oh, I settled in the United States, San Francisco. ”

San Francisco?!

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Xiaobao in surprise.

For no other reason, San Francisco is where the helm of Hongmen is located!

Hongmen was founded in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and later moved its general rudder to San Francisco due to the history of being invaded by foreign powers in China and various reasons.

I didn't expect Li Xiaobao to come from San Francisco! Could it be that he is from the helmsman of Hongmen?!

You must know that the patrol of the general rudder is definitely not simple! The status is above the head of one side!

Although the internal organization of Hongmen is strict, the size of the rudder is different.

A smaller rudder is limited to one city, while a larger rudder can cover one or two provinces!

But even though the scale is different, the status of the two rudder heads is equal.

And the only inequality is between the main rudder and the split rudder!

The general helm is personally controlled by the leader of Hongmen, and the eight halls inside and outside the command are the core of the entire Hongmen!

If Li Xiaobao really came from the helm of Hongmen, then it would be understandable that he did not have the slightest awe of the fifth master.

……

For everyone's surprise and surprise, Li Xiaobao smiled slightly and did not explain too much about this matter, but turned his head to look at Lu Yu again and said, "I heard that Brother Lu still has some things to deal with before going to the capital?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, there is a business tea party that needs to be attended." ”

Business tea party?

When everyone in the surrounding Hongmen heard this, they all showed displeasure.

In their opinion, the fact that Huaxia's famous tea is about to be taken away by the Dongying people is more important than anything else, and what kind of tea party does Lu Yu, a new tea person, have to attend? Could it be that the honor of the nation is not as good as a mere commercial activity?!

Seeing this, the fifth master immediately explained with a smile: "Hehe, you don't know, the tea party that Brother Lu Yu participated in is actually for the country and the people. His main purpose this time was to combat the arrogance of the Toei Inoue family and prevent the dumping of Toei green tea in the market......"

Immediately afterwards, the fifth master briefly talked about Lu Yu and He Ning's formation of the Fengtian Tea Enterprise Alliance and the negotiation with the Inoue family.

After everyone listened, it was suddenly realized!

And the beautiful woman Sister Hong also smiled coquettishly, and suddenly grabbed Lu Yu's arm and said: "So that's the case, it's a shame that the fifth master said it, otherwise people will misunderstand Lu Yu's younger brother! But this tea party sounds very interesting...... Brother Lu Yu, can I go with you to see the world?"
