Li Ling and Mrs. Fleming exchanged addresses with each other and left. As soon as he returned to his residence, he saw Sun Yuzhu holding a letter in his hand and looking at it carefully. Because he was illiterate, his face was attached to the letterhead, and he didn't see the reason.

Although the brothers of the Golden Sword Congregation are not literate, they are not nothing, and there are many people standing next to them, and none of them have stepped forward to help. Li Lingda was wondering, walked closer, patted Sun Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "I don't know a few big characters, and I still have a decent way of reading things, who sent the letter?" ”

Seeing that it was Li Ling, Sun Yuzhu was startled, and said with a sneer: "It was brought by the brother who came back from Jinan, and Miss Lin wrote it to you." The others didn't dare to look at it, and I didn't see what was said, No, I'll give it back to you. ”

It turned out to be a letter from Lin Yazhi, and Li Ling said angrily: "Everyone doesn't dare to look at it, it's your ability." ”

Sun Yuzhu scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't care about you and my sister-in-law either!" You read me, and I listen. ”

Glaring at him, Li Ling took the letter and read it, and was immediately overjoyed. It turned out that Lin Yazhi knew that Li Ling was in Qingdao, and her younger brother was going to school in Qingdao, and the two would arrive together after a while.

After meeting Lin Yazhi's family, they were separated because of various things, and the two agreed to get married after she graduated, and now it is not far from her graduation, it seems that things should be handled.

Lin Yazhi is tall and well-proportioned, with outstanding appearance and gentle personality, she is the best choice to be a wife, not to mention that Li Ling is very infatuated with her. Now that he is about to come, Li Ling is overjoyed, and asks Sun Yuzhu, "How is the construction of the mansion on Longshan Road?" ”

Sun Yuzhu opened his mouth and smiled: "Look at your joy, you must be getting married." There is still half a month to complete the construction, and I ask people to urge it to be fine in seven or eight days! ”

Li Ling really wanted to use the house on Longshan Road as a new house, and surprise her when Lin Yazhi arrived. Li Ling looked around and said, "Why don't you see Brother Jiatang and the other brothers." ”

Sun Yuzhu and Li Ling were used to it casually, and complained: "Brother Jiatang went to Xiaoyao Building to be happy." The Jinglian brothers are in the casino. The Black Second Tower is training personnel, and I will take care of the rest of the big mess alone. ”

He Jiatang likes women, Jing Lian is a gambler, Sun Yuzhu loves money, and is an official fan, while Hei Erta doesn't talk much, and he has no special hobbies. As for the large number of brothers below, many of them Li Ling didn't know too well.

"Why didn't you see Brother Lian Sheng and Ye Wan?"

As soon as Li Ling asked, he saw the two of them coming in from outside. Lu Liansheng said: "I received a notice from the mountain hall that I have something to rush back to Yangzhou. You are short of manpower here, and I have asked the brothers if they want to stay, so they will follow you here. Ye Wan and I are leaving. ”

Li Ling was reluctant, and the brothers had to separate again not long after they met, but the mountain hall had an order and had to abide by it. Li Ling said: "In this case, then Brother Lian Sheng will go first, I will go to Nanjing in some time, and I will go to Yangzhou to visit you by the way." I owe a lot of money to my brother Qian Xuping, you can help me return these silver bills to him, and you can comfort the brothers with a little money left. ”

At that time, he bought guns and ammunition from Shantang in Donghai County, borrowed 120,000 yuan from Qian Xuping, and Li Ling took out 200,000 silver tickets and gave them to Lu Liansheng. He didn't tell Lu Liansheng that there were still 80,000 yuan left, and if he did, Lu Liansheng was determined not to.

Seeing that Li Ling had a letterhead in his hand, Ye Wan snatched it up, looked at it carefully, and said with jealousy: "Who is this woman?" ”

Li Ling smiled bitterly and said, "My fiancée Lin Yazhi, we are about to get married, and you all have to come here then." ”

After staring at Li Ling's eyes for a long time, Ye Wan said, "Do you have a fiancée?" How I don't know. I'm not leaving, I'm going to see what your fiancée looks like. ”

Li Ling felt helpless and was about to persuade him, but saw Ye Wan twist his head to the side and said, "I just look at your fiancée, don't persuade me." ”

Lu Liansheng said with a smile: "Then let Wanmei play here for a few days first!" Stay with him. ”

Li Ling frowned, unable to figure out why Lu Liansheng said such a thing. Lu Liansheng likes Ye Wan as we all know, does he want to give up Ye Wan to fulfill himself? If you can't figure it out, you don't think about it anymore. If Ye Wan doesn't leave, no one can force it.

Of the more than 300 Hongmen brothers who followed Lu Liansheng to Qingdao, only about 40 volunteered to stay. Although Qingdao is relatively profitable, the Republic of China has a strong sense of locality, and they are unwilling to leave their hometowns to make a living. The rules of Hongmen are stricter, if it is the order of Shantang or Lu Liansheng and Li Ling, of course everyone must obey it, but since the form of Qingdao has stabilized, Li Ling is not good at forcing the brothers to stay.

After saying goodbye to Lu Liansheng and the others, and then settling down the Hongmen brothers who stayed behind, Li Ling asked everyone to follow the orders of the Black Second Tower to gather and train. Fighting in the rivers and lakes is not only courageous, but also requires a tough body. What's more, Li Ling wants to train these people into a group of loyal and brave military backbones. Since the Sino-Japanese war is inevitable, let's use all our strength to fight the enemy together.

On this morning, a set of Dahong punches fell, and Li Ling was exhausted, so he sat on the stone bench to breathe. Since he got a copy of the Tuna Exercise in the Taiqing Palace, Li Ling has been pranayama according to the above meridian route diagram, and his body has not reacted in the past few days. But this time, the ring stone close to his chest suddenly felt a chill, and then spread all over his body. The body, which had been weak, was full of vitality again. And the meridians felt a stream of heat flowing down the dantian, and where the heat passed, there was a burst of comfort.

Li Lingda was pleasantly surprised, could this be what everyone said was really angry. He had no distraction and concentrated on guiding this hot qi into the dantian, but this aura was too weak and dissipated not long after.

Li Ling was not angry, he refined the essence over and over again, and for a whole day, he never raised a trace of true qi. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ling sighed slightly, and then went out and came to Ma Liang's villa.

At this time, Ma Liang's house was brightly lit, and many unfamiliar faces were standing or sitting. Seeing Li Ling coming in, Ma Liang got up and introduced Li Ling to everyone. To Li Ling's surprise, all the people here were martial arts masters.

An old man in his fifties with a thin face was actually Zhang Zhijiang, the head of the five tiger generals of the Northwest Army. Zhang Zhijiang and Li Jinglin faced off twice on the battlefield, and they received a lot of hatred, but at this time, the two talked eloquently, and a peaceful scene made Li Lingda wonder.

What shocked Li Ling even more was that there was also an extremely ordinary-looking martial arts master, Du Xinwu. Du Xinwu is a legendary figure in the Republic of China, he learned martial arts since he was a child, and later worshiped Xu Dwarf, a Sichuan stranger, to learn natural martial arts, in his youth in order to avenge his best friend Dadao Wang Wu, infiltrated the Forbidden City to assassinate the Empress Dowager Cixi, and fled to Japan after failure, joined the Alliance, met Sun Yat-sen and served as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard.

Li Ling, the organization of the Alliance, didn't care, what he cared about was that Du Xinwu was a veteran of the Hongmen. Hongmen is a collective name, divided into various mountain halls, Li Ling is located in the Chunbaoshan Yiqi Hall, and Du Xinwu joined the Zidongshan Justice Hall in Xiangxi in his early years, and served as the hall master for many years. Because of his older qualifications and his influence in the martial arts world, he recruited Hongmen brothers in the name of accepting apprentices, and his influence in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was huge.

The Hongmen seniors were here, and Li Ling bowed respectfully. Li Ling is Ma Liangfei's son, Du Xinwu didn't care, but when he saw Li Ling's salute with the gesture of "three and a half incense", he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It turned out to be my brother Hongmen, looking at your gesture, your status is not low!" ”

The Republic of China is not as secret as the Qing Dynasty, gangs have gradually become clear, and many people go out under the banner of gangs. Seeing Li Ling's gesture according to his identity, Du Xinwu asked.

Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "In Xiatian, I am the head of Qingdao in Chunbaoshan, and I have seen the Hongmen old-timers. ”

"Fang Shou? Or Qingdao Fangshou," Du Xinwu was taken aback, looked at him fixedly, and said: "It is really not easy to achieve this status at a young age, and it will depend on your generation to develop and grow Hongmen in the future." ”

Although the position of the head of the square was not incorporated into the official internal and external eight halls of Hongmen, it had a lofty status, and Du Xinwu did not doubt Li Ling's identity at all, after all, no one dared to pretend in Hongmen.

Li Ling bowed and said: "If the seniors have time, please come to our rudder as a guest, and the kid will also do the friendship of the landlord." ”

Du Xinwu shook his head: "Certainly, definitely." ”

"This is Ma Fengtu, the chief instructor of the 29th Route Army of the Northwest Army." Maleonn introduced an old man with a goatee.

Li Ling was taken aback, the Twenty-ninth Route Army? The Northwest Army Broadsword? In the case of lack of guns and ammunition, he relied on a big knife to keep the Japanese out of the Great Wall. In the Battle of Xifengkou, which later generations knew, the Broadsword Team became famous all over the world, and the head coach who taught the Broadsword Team was in front of him.

Li Ling's posture was lowered, and he said respectfully: "I have heard the name of Ma's predecessors for a long time, and today I finally saw the honor." I set up a Golden Sword Society with a group of brothers in Qingdao, and if I had time, I asked my seniors to give me advice. ”

Ma Fengtu held the goat's whiskers, very self-satisfied. The people sitting here are all martial arts masters, Li Ling is Ma Liang's righteous son, he met Li Jinglin, and he has a friendship with Du Xinwu, but he wants to let himself teach swordsmanship. Ma Fengtu admired this young man in his heart, he was too long-faced for himself.

Ma Fengtu said: "I once worked in the Northwest Army, based on the ** knife technique, and adapted to create a set of blade-breaking knife techniques. This kind of knife technique is not fancy, it focuses on actual combat, if you want to learn, I will teach you how? ”

Whether the people of the Golden Sword Society are grabbing the dock or using it for military purposes in the future, they can definitely shine if they can learn the method of breaking the blade. Li Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Ma Fengtu was even more proud, and said with a smile: "Jardine Matheson will hold an auction tomorrow, and when the auction is over, I will live in Qingdao for some time, and I will teach you again." ”
