Jianghu affairs, rivers and lakes, this is the rule of Jianghu people. However, now more and more people have not followed the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the rules set by the old generation of Jianghu people have been thrown into the corners of the years like a broken jar.

Each generation of Jianghu people has its own distinct imprint of the times, and each generation also follows the direction of their understanding, seeking a foothold in the vast rivers and lakes, and making a name for itself.

Ye Xiao, who came in a hurry, is the best among the older generation of Jianghu people, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Qinglong Gang, which has a long heritage, can represent an entire era.

But after all, what the Qinglong Gang represents is only that era that has passed, in the era when the information highway is developing at a high speed and people's minds are floating, the set of rules of survival in the rivers and lakes that Ye Xiao adheres to is actually far behind the entire era.

This is the sadness of the older generation of Jianghu people, but at the same time, it is also an irreversible development. Because times are changing, people are changing; The rivers and lakes are also changing.

At present, at the entrance of the eight halls of the Green Dragon Gang, after several earthquake-level changes, the actual sphere of influence of the Green Dragon Gang has shrunk. After Ye Xiao made the decision to re-enter the mountain to control the Blue Dragon Gang, his control over the entrance of the Eight Halls was strengthened.

But! It's just a bit of a strengthening! There is absolutely no complete control of the entrance of the eight halls. This is also the reason why Ye Xiao has always been anxious.

He is very aware of his twilight, but if the Blue Dragon Gang loses the inheritance passed down from generation to generation in his hands, he will be wiped out, and he will have no shame to meet the ancestors of the Green Dragon Gang's underground.

The old man went to the provincial capital in person, and he came for the Qinghuo Hall of the Qinglong Gang.

An Tianwei's identity during this period of time was a military representative, and he paid less attention to the affairs of the people and rivers in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally didn't know what was going on in the rivers and lakes. Ye Xiao's hurried arrival made him feel that he had neglected this aspect.

"Old Ye, what happened to make you so angry?" An Tianwei asked while giving Ye Xiao tea.

Ye Xiao likes to drink tea, and doesn't like foreign things like coffee, which An Tianwei knows.

Unpolitely took the teacup handed over by An Tianwei, Ye Xiao took a sip and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, now there is a lot of noise on the rivers and lakes." ”

"How?" An Tianwei's expression froze.

"This is it!" Ye Xiao pointed to his feet, meaning that the center of this whirlpool was the capital of M Province.

An Tianwei quietly waited for the old man to continue to explain, and did not interject again. Because Ye Xiao obviously hasn't finished speaking.

"Recently, the annexation of rivers and lakes has been going on very strongly, right?" Ye Xiao was not in a hurry to give An Tianwei an answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes. This is already the fourth. The four that were swallowed up all had several characteristics in common. First, emerging forces; Second, these emerging forces already have a certain climate; Third, it is the forces that have been annexed this time, and the background is not simple. ”

"The strategy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!" Ye Xiao was thoughtful.

An Tianwei instantly understood what Ye Xiao was referring to.

That mysterious force, if you deduce from Ye Xiao's words, actually doesn't have the appetite to swallow all the underground forces in the capital of Province M in one go. But if you subdue a group of junior brothers first, and then use this wave of junior brothers to fight other old forces, this will be like a snowball, and in the end, all the underground forces will inevitably be spared.

The corners of An Tianwei's eyes jumped. It's a tactic, and, depending on the situation, the layout is very well-developed. Judging from the annexation of the four emerging forces, the sense of rhythm is very good, not in a hurry or slow, as if there is enough confidence.

If this is an illusion, An Tianwei thinks it is unlikely; But if it's not an illusion, is the old man's words fake?

As if seeing An Tianwei's doubts, Ye Xiao shook his head and sighed: "The current Jianghu people are different from our generation, they are not pure Jianghu people; They don't put all their energy on the rivers and lakes, otherwise, they don't need to advance so slowly after defeating a few forces. ”

Ye Xiao seems to know what happened underground in M Province!

"It's a wrecker! All the obstacles must be cleared! Ye Xiao sighed very helplessly.

"Old man, do you know who is the director behind this wrecker?" An Tianwei's expression was also extremely solemn.

The possibilities he thought of made him have to be dignified. If things turn out as expected, it's really a huge storm.

It's a giant vortex that can sweep a lot of people into it and crush them to the point where there are no bones left!

Although from an emotional point of view, An Tianwei does not want his speculation to come true, but all the events are moving towards his original speculation step by step, and one step is not bad.

"Yes!" Ye Xiao replied: "Maybe you have already seen something. The result should not be much different from what you see and think. Of course, this is just my inference. While this inference isn't particularly accurate, it's not far off. ”

An Tianwei knew that Ye Xiao's so-called inference was based on certain facts. The old man has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and there is naturally no shortage of contacts and horsepower, and there are only a lot more news channels than those of a backward like An Tianwei.

Therefore, the so-called inference that came out of the mouth of Old Man Ye Xiao is not far from the truth.

An Tianwei's heart sank suddenly. It was the last thing he wanted to hear! Not one of them!

Both fell silent, and the room was filled with a palpitating depression.

After a long time, Ye Xiao finally raised his head and smiled at An Tianwei and said, "Little brother, doesn't it feel incredible?" ”

An Tianwei nodded, then shook his head again. However, unlike the look he had when he heard the news just now, An Tianwei at this time was actually very calm.

In fact, this is something that has already been decided a long time ago, so why shake it again? An Tianwei even laughed at himself in his heart.

The result is still the result that I thought of, and I had foreseen it, didn't I?

Ye Xiao nodded imperceptibly. Although he is old, his eyes are very good, and An Tianwei's expression changed, and he saw them all in his eyes.

This is a lad who can carry heavy loads! Now there are fewer and fewer people like this.

If it weren't for An Tianwei's identity, Ye Xiao really had the heart to hand over the Qinglong Gang, which he had spent almost his whole life on, into the hands of this young man.

It's a pity...... Ye Xiao sighed deeply.

"Ye Lao, then how much do you know about that mysterious force?" An Tianwei cut to the chase.

"Not too much, but not too much. The mysterious force that brought people here this time was actually not very mysterious in the early days. In the earlier rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as a big name. ”

"Oh?"

"Hmm. It's a big name indeed. You should know that among the gangs in old Shanghai, Boss Huang and Boss Du both belong to the Green Gang! ”

The Green Gang did have a problem in old Shanghai, and even the principal was said to have joined the Green Gang, but later the principal erased all the evidence of joining the Green Gang. An Tianwei has heard of these old news, but it is not particularly specific.

Regardless of whether An Tianwei knew it or not, Ye Xiao continued: "At that time, there was still a big force that could be compared with the Qinggang in old Shanghai: Hongmen! Like some of the early Heaven and Earth Society Fuxing Society, they are inextricably linked with Hongmen. ”

"Old man, the reason why you gave me this history lesson is that the mysterious force that came here this time is Hongmen?" An Tianwei guessed the point.

"It's not good to be too smart." Ye Xiao made a joke, and then said very strictly: "Yes, it is Hongmen!" ”

An Tianwei snorted, feeling that his brain was a little unable to turn.

He had heard of Hongmen, and indeed in the past period of time, it was in full swing. But Hongmen is said to have disappeared for many years, why did it suddenly appear and make such a big noise?

Next, Ye Xiao gave An Tianwei the news and accusations he had carefully probed this time.

Hongmen, who came to the capital of M Province this time, is actually not an authentic Hongmen, but a branch of Hongmen. The authentic Hongmen has long been scattered into different branches with the troubled times in the later times, and they are distributed in Southeast Asia.

Hongmen, who came this time, is a branch somewhere in Southeast Asia, and it is a society that has evolved from the former Qiankun Society. Although it still uses the old name of Hongmen, its people and affairs have long had nothing to do with the Hongmen at the beginning of the year.

"Three and a half handfuls of incense, honorary rivers and lakes." Ye Xiao sighed deeply, as if he was missing a long-ago relative, and his tone was a little trance-like: "It's a pity, this time I came to the Qiankun Meeting, even this most precious thing of the ancestor was lost!" ”

As he spoke, Ye Xiao's eyes widened angrily: "If you don't follow the ancestral teachings, you have become someone else's lackey and tool!" It's a shame for the rivers and lakes! ”

Hongmen's three and a half incense, An Tianwei knows.

At the beginning, An Tianwei was still in awe and respect for the story of three and a half incense. Three and a half handfuls of incense represent a kind of spirit: "Xia! ”

All Hongmen disciples will regard these three handfuls of half-incense as a kind of pride!

The first incense commemorates the sheep's horn and Zuo Botao, and this incense is called benevolence and righteousness.

The second incense commemorates Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's three knots, and this incense is called Zhongyi incense.

The third incense commemorates Liangshanbo's one hundred and eight generals, and this incense is called chivalrous incense.

Half a handful of incense commemorates Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin, and this half handful of incense is called benevolence and righteousness.

Hongmen disciples, these three half-incense handfuls, are all expressed with a gesture similar to modern OK.

As soon as this gesture came out, the whole world was a brother. Brothers help each other, the world will be born!

Unexpectedly, the opponent this time turned out to be such a club with a profound history. Listening to the old man's tone, Qiankun will have become very unbearable now. The lackey and instrumental theory has already explained a lot.

"Ye Lao, I don't care if it's a Qiankun Club or not, but if it has really deteriorated, how did it come about, how to let it go back!" An Tianwei said firmly.

(Well, the market is good today.) When the market comes, the winner is the one who can keep the ticket. Good night everyone. ）
