As the largest gang in China, Hongmen has a history of 100 years, with a strict organizational structure, clear upper and lower levels, strict levels, and clear work in all parts, and is a behemoth activated by countless small gears. Its influence is even stronger than that of many smaller countries.

The thirteen bigwigs in charge are the highest authorities. Usually rarely shows up. Unless there is a serious incident, they must come forward. And then there is every time there are traditional Chinese festivals such as the New Year's Festival, they will come out and have two drinks with everyone. After all, in foreign countries, traditional Chinese festivals have an extraordinary meaning for the elderly. One year later, one year less! This year has passed, but next year ...... I don't know if God will give them a chance.

When Tang Ning arrived, except for a few people who were in retreat and cultivating, and there were no things at home, six of the thirteen bigwigs came forward, almost half of them. Judging from the courtesy and the specifications of the reception, Tang Ning, who is young and knowledgeable, and has barely able to get by, even has more face than many real gangsters or government dignitaries.

Originally, there was no need to dispatch so many bigwigs at once in this matter, but even if these sophisticated, cunning old guys didn't give face to Tang Ning, they had to give face to the big man behind him. The Hongmen brothers are all over the world, and their tentacles touch all levels. The information about Downing's private information is even more detailed than the people of Guoan.

In this world, when it comes to information scraping capabilities, government officials can never compare with the rivers and lakes. Talents in the rivers and lakes are truly pervasive.

The existence of the demon fox Zhang Xiaohua was no longer a secret as early as not long after Jiang Tao and Zhou Yu came into contact with Tang Ning.

Back then, the Qidao Alliance, the left and right heavenly kings, the four beast gods, were famous. Not only in the Qimen realm, but also in the rivers and lakes, it is even more majestic and majestic, and it is considered to be a gathering group of demons and monsters, a large collection of non-human beings. No one dares to beat its edge. Later, the Qidao Alliance fought among itself and fell apart. As a result, the powerful organization has declined, and its reputation is no longer as good as before. The whereabouts of the demon fox, the mad tiger, the poisonous snake, and the red scorpion are unknown. It is rumored that these four beast gods were discouraged and sought to live in seclusion, cultivating without asking about the world, and some people said that they fell during internal strife. But no matter what, the prestige of the four beast gods has also become a legend on the Qimen rivers and lakes.

As the investigation of Tang Ning deepened, the demon fox behind him began to gradually enter the sight of the high-level leaders of Hongmen. What they didn't expect was that the descendants of the heads of the four beast gods actually had a good relationship with the descendants of the Hongmen. This kind of karma is hard to come by. It must be firmly grasped.

Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao, who also have a great future in Hongmen, want to switch to Meihua Sanshoumen. None of the thirteen bigwigs objected. It is believed that the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages for Hongmen. He instructed Zhou and Jiang to find a time to bring the children back.

First, according to the rules, Tang Ning must personally come to the Hongmen headquarters. In fact, it is just going through the motions. It may be harsh on others, but Tang Ning is here, and it is easy to say. Again, the bigwigs also want to meet Tang Ning himself. Tang Ning didn't know about this, and neither did Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao. If he had known this, with the habits of the two of them, he might not have been able to come back this time. It's not the East going to the West, it's China to the United States. It's not easy to walk, and it's a long way.

There are many rules in Hongmen, but they did not do less things that violated the rules in their early years. Young people, God will give you a few opportunities to make mistakes.

I heard that several supreme powerful bigwigs in Hongmen would personally receive him when the time came, which made Tang Ning more or less flattered.

In terms of seniority, people are seniors. It should be respected. In terms of strength, there are countless disciples all over the world. As for himself, although he has the name of a head. In fact, he is alone. Whether it is real or imaginary, it is not comparable with others.

When you come to worship the pier, you must first worship the other party's incense hall. That's the rule, too.

The incense hall is constantly burning, the sandalwood is rich, and the smoke is swirling. The fine iron three-legged incense burner is the size of a sea bowl. From top to bottom, there are nearly 100 tablets, all of which are the predecessors of Hongmen or the sages and heroes who sacrificed for the organization. The top 20 or so are dedicated to the ancestors of Hongmen, from the first ancestor to the five sects, and even the fifteen ancestors of the front, middle and back, and what are the five righteousness, five masters, three heroes and two handsomes.

Of course, Tang Ning didn't know who these tablets were. was led into the incense hall and worshiped with incense. Although he is not a pure Jianghu person, Tang Ning almost understands many aspects such as the number of etiquette in the rivers and lakes.

After worshipping the incense hall, it is the real meeting with some bigwigs. Coming to the room, Tang Ning was startled.

In the spacious hall, there were more than two dozen people seated in two rows. In the thirteen chairs of the main seat, there sat two old men in Tang costumes, three middle-aged people in green cloth coats, and a young woman in a red leather coat and leather skirt. The remaining vacancies. It must be the seat of the thirteen big guys. There were men and women sitting on both sides, most of them in their forties and fifties, and young people in their twenties and thirties, but very few, two or three kittens. Among them, Downing paid special attention to the woman who sat on the throne. Melon seed face, phoenix eyes and red lips, hot and sexy body, charming and attractive face. This woman has met once, and if I remember correctly, she seems to be the seventh sister of the silver phoenix.

There are so many people, almost every one of them is a master above the dark energy. Except for the sexy and charming Yinfeng Seventh Sister, the rest of the six bigwigs sitting on the main seat don't look too conspicuous, the old people at home, ordinary middle-aged uncles, but they are all full of blood and blood, the breath of life is vigorous, and the vitality in the body is boundless, and with Tang Ning's current cultivation, he can't feel the depth at all. The lowest level of cultivation in this realm must be above the transformation strength. Especially those two sixty or seventy-year-old men, even a half-step Danzong is possible.

With so many masters gathered together, in this relatively small room, invisible energy fluctuations converged into the sea, and a little stimulation would produce great pressure. And Downing is now under this invisible pressure. From the moment I crossed the threshold and entered the door, it was like a thousand pounds. It's hard to take a single step. And with each step forward, the pressure increases by one point. Downing landed like a hammer hitting the ground. Bang, bang, bang......

From the door to the middle of the hall, the distance of about ten meters is called "stepping on the lotus platform step by step, ten meters of Yama Road" by Hongmen. It is one of the highest standard ways to welcome guests for people in the same way. Those who can't hold it are nothing, but they will be looked down upon. For decades, Downing was the youngest of those who had the privilege of enduring such an ordeal. Although it doesn't look good. The face is flushed. There was sweat on the forehead, but it was finally able to hold on. Didn't disgrace yourself. Didn't smash the signboard of the plum blossom sanshou door.

There was a crunch sound in the body. Tang Ning slowly straightened his waist, neither humble nor arrogant, and said word by word: "After learning Tang Ning, I have seen all my predecessors, and I have seen all my big brothers and sisters." ”

Tang Ning hugged his fists and saluted according to the number of rivers and lakes. This is a very particular statement. If he came as a friend of Hongmen's later generations, he would have to call himself "Greeting". But now he is also the identity of the head of a faction, if he claims to meet him, he will be a generation lower, and his own identity will be weakened. And frankly "seen", everyone is equal. At least in terms of status.

Tang Ning's clear voice fell, and the pressure disappeared.

"Little friend, please be seated. Let's sit down and talk. A bald old man sitting on the throne with a cane and kind eyes smiled and added a chair. The location is also eye-catching, right next to the thirteen chairs, you know, there is a strict hierarchy up and down the Hongmen. According to the ranks, titles, and where everyone should sit, there are rules.

It's the same as when the minister of civil and military affairs enters the palace to meet the emperor. Left text and right martial arts, a product in the first place. It is the closest to Tianyan. The so-called close ministers of the Son of Heaven. In fact, it is according to this statement. Location determines identity, status.

Once on an important occasion, jump to a seat that does not belong to you. Then you have to doubt your intentions.

Below the thirteen bosses are the heads of each department, below the hall masters are the deacons, and below the deacons are the specific clerks. Tang Ning's seat was arranged above the hall masters, wasn't his status higher than that of the hall masters in the eyes of several bigwigs?

Sure enough, as soon as Tangning's butt touched the chair, someone got up.

"Boy. You don't seem to know how to be polite, do you? The speaker was a rough man in a black coat and a white shirt underneath. Tiger back bear waist, strong body. Bald head, thick eyebrows, ringed eyes, and a thick dark beard under the chin. The sound is like thunder.

Tang Ning stood up and clenched his fists and said, "May I ask this big brother, what do you mean by this?" If there is something wrong or lacking, please point it out. ”

"Is that chair for you? At your young age, what qualifies you to sit there? ”

Tang Ning looked back at the chair behind him and suddenly realized. Said: "Oh, it turned out to be because of this, that's good." This chair is given to you. This big brother, you please. ”

Tang Ning quickly flashed to the side, stared at the big man with burning eyes, sincerely gave way, and invited him to come and sit down.

"You ......" The big man was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to sit in that position. In front of the six bigwigs, isn't this obviously trying to put on the kang across the pot?

There was a buzz in the hall, and many people covered their mouths and laughed. This reckless guy is out of trouble again.

Pulling his cuffs, he turned around and returned to his position with hatred, "I'm too lazy to see you little ghost." Hmph......"

"Guys, who wants to sit in this chair? Come on, you're welcome. "Downing was welcoming. But no one dared to respond.

"Little friend, sit down. They didn't have anyone to sit on. The bald old man smiled again.

"Is there really no one coming? Shall I sit here? After glancing around, he sat down with his butt raised, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't blame me for being rude, I can make a big circle......

The voice was small, but there were no mortals in the seat. I didn't miss anything, I listened to it.
