This temple called "Hanguang Temple" is large-scale, under the smoke of incense, the red wall and eaves are like illusory, and the sound of the bell chime is deafening. The presiding officer of the temple is called Lonep, with a kind eyebrow and kind eyes. You Fei said: "This host is the master of the Hongmen Chunbaoshan Alliance, and he ranks second in the eight halls. ”

Li Lingda was stunned, in his ideological cognition, the master is generally a universal sentient being, an isolated worldly master, he didn't expect the temple host to be a guest of the Hongmen Gang. I can't help but think of an old monk holding a ring bead and fighting bloodily with a group of gang members to grab the dock.

I enjoyed his gaffe very much, and You Fei said endlessly: "Have you seen the old monk sweeping the floor, his Dharma name is silent." Don't look at him as an honest man, he is a man of the year in the Xinhai Revolution a few years ago, the governor of Jiangsu Cheng. ”

"What?" Li Ling was really shocked at this time, and turned his head to see that an old monk was wearing an orange and yellow linen robe, with no hair on his head, but his beard swaying in the wind. There was such a great god entrenched in a temple, he couldn't help but be shocked, not to mention that the deeds of Governor Cheng De were widely praised and Li Ling was familiar with them.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, Tsarist Russia not only sent troops to Dagukou to take advantage of the fire to loot, but also directly sent troops to the three eastern provinces. Cheng Dequan, as a staff member, did not hesitate to block the muzzle of Tsarist Russia with his weak body in order to save Qiqihar from being ruined and negotiating with the other party when negotiations with the other party were fruitless. And resolutely refused to be the "general" of the puppet government. Such a righteous and awe-inspiring soldier who regarded death as if he were at home made Tsarist Russia stunned and did not dare to open fire. This incident made him famous, and the government and the opposition looked sideways. The Empress Dowager Cixi quickly recruited to enter Beijing, broke the exception and even raised several levels, was added to the rank of Zhizhou, and was rewarded with three products.

Later, in order to resist Russia's brutal act of forcibly building the railway, he blocked the railroad tracks with his flesh and blood. Such integrity forced Tsarist officials to negotiate with him on an equal footing. This incident caused a sensation in both the government and the opposition. He was recruited into Beijing again, and Cixi personally marked him with "appointment as deputy capital". The deputy capital is a high-ranking military position in the Eight Banners, which is the second grade, and is almost not awarded to the Han people.

In 1905, he was promoted to Heilongjiang general. Heilongjiang is the place where the Eight Banners started, and there has never been a Han person in history who has ever been the supreme officer, and Cheng De, as a Han person, actually became the leader of this flag people's base camp, which is really a bit unusual.

Finally, in order to avoid the spread of the fighting, people are displaced. As the governor of Jiangsu, he asked people to hold bamboo poles and stab off three tiles on the roof of the governor's yamen. Indicates obedience to the revolution. Then he quit politics and became a monk, chanting Buddha and fasting all day long, and did not ask about world affairs.

You Fei was obviously familiar with the monastery, so he asked the monk in charge of the miscellaneous items to vacate a bedroom for the night, but he took his leave and left. Li Ling knew that there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here, full of mystery. Be trembling all the time and be more careful.

After two days, You Fei turned back and brought good news. A month later, Hongmen opened the incense hall and introduced Li Ling to join the club. What made Li Ling excited was that the opening of the hall was actually presided over by the mountain lord and the leading uncle. The leading uncle is very old, and he rarely goes out in recent years, which is an exception. Moreover, most of the brothers in the same council this time were influential businessmen or military officers in the same place.

In the next few days, Li Ling kept reciting the Hongmen entrance incision and incense rules to answer. I had nothing to do that day, so I went out for a stroll with Youfei.

At this time, Yangzhou City was already in the middle of winter, and the weather was cold. The two came to a restaurant called "Hongbin Building". Since it wasn't meal time, there were only a few people inside. There were five soldiers sitting around a table eating, drinking and guessing boxing, and a middle-aged man with a rich appearance occupied a table and poured himself a drink there.

Because the taste of fasting in the temple was light, the two asked for some fish, meat, wine and food, and drank it there. Li Ling has been reciting those cumbersome gang rules and precepts for the past two days, and his mind is stiff, and he just has time to relax today. Thinking of something, he asked in a low voice: "Since this is the location of the Chunbaoshan General Hall, why haven't you found any trace of the Hongmen brothers?" ”

You Fei said with a smile: "It's hidden in the city, there are Hongmen brothers everywhere, but you can't see it." Of course, now that the army is in chaos, the Southern Revolutionary Army is about to fight in Shanghai, and the land of Yangzhou is not a happy land, and many brothers have been restrained and can no longer swagger as before. ”

Li Ling sighed slightly, he was going to fight again. The eldest brother defected to the Southern Revolutionary Army, and I don't know what happened now. Some time ago, in the battle between the revolutionary army and Wu Peifu, how many people died in the flames of war, and how many families were destroyed.

As I was thinking about it, I saw a woman walking at the door, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a petite figure and a beautiful face. Although Li Ling has seen a lot of women, his eyes can't help but light up when he sees this woman.

"Cousin, bring me two side dishes," the woman said as if no one was around, and her voice was crisp and beautiful.

Several soldiers at the table next to her, drunk, had been staring at the woman ever since she came in. One of them, who looked like an officer with a bearded beard, came to the woman with a wine jug in a crooked and stunned manner, and said, "Little sister, how lonely it is to eat alone, come and have fun with your brother, how about my brother's treat today?" ”

Dai frowned slightly, the woman didn't expect someone in this restaurant to tease her, and said coldly: "Get out!" ”

"Huh? The chick has a good temper, uncle, we fought bloodily for the country, and letting you lose a glass of wine is a contribution to the country, and you don't know how to fucking lift it, right? Another soldier stepped out of his seat.

The woman picked up the teacup on the table. A teapot and a teabowl, the spout of the pot is against the bowl, and there is no more speech. The cousin had been watching the situation here for a long time, and when he saw the way the woman set up the teapot, he immediately left the hall.

You Fei suddenly said in a low voice: "This is Hongmen's help for the tea array, if there is a conflict later, we should help." I'll surround the back three, and I'll give you the front two. As soon as he heard that this woman was from Hongmen, Li Ling's blood surged, and he nodded secretly and waited to see what happened.

When the soldier saw that the woman ignored him, he was furious and said, "Since you don't know how to lift, don't blame the uncle for being rude." Then he grabbed the woman's arm. The woman didn't break free, lifted Qianqian's long legs, and kicked suddenly, not just right, just to the center of the soldier's crotch. Hold him to the ground in pain and scream.

Several other soldiers saw that their companions were humiliated and hurriedly got up to greet them. At this time, You Fei suddenly attacked, picked up and got off the bench and smashed it at a soldier behind him. And Li Ling also rose up and kicked at the officer. A few people couldn't figure out that there were people in the inn who dared to do something to the soldiers, and they were caught off guard and hit in an instant.

You Fei was not ambiguous, and after kicking down one person, he turned around again, and a punch broke out and hit another person in the chest. The man was beaten and fell to the ground. And the other two were also cleaned up by Li Ling in a short period of time.

The changes start suddenly, and the end is fast. A total of five soldiers fell to the ground in an instant. The woman did not have the slightest fear, but her eyes were bright, and she stared at the two of them with a bright look and said, "Thank you two heroes for saving you, otherwise there will be some trouble." ”

Li Ling smiled slightly, and was about to be polite. You Fei said: "My brothers and sisters, there is no need to say thank you, these military camps are estimated to be not far from here, so it is better to avoid the limelight first." ”

The woman nodded and said, "Okay, you two will change places to eat with me." ”

"Want to go, is it that simple?" Another soldier appeared at the door, grim and grim. Just a gun in his hand.

Li Ling twitched the corner of his eyes, and there were six pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table where the soldier was eating, and he secretly called himself careless. Missing a person like this, and making people hold a gun to their head like this, makes him angry. But there is nothing to be done.

The soldier said as he walked: "You are so bold that even the military master dares to attack, and Lao Tzu will send you back to your hometown in Xitian." "At that time, the soldiers were in troubled times, the war was cruel, and for the soldiers, killing people was just their own preference. Although there is a military law, as long as the military and the people fight, as long as it does not have a great impact, it will generally not be dealt with. Therefore, some soldiers are lawless, and they will not be merciful in killing civilians.

Li Ling didn't doubt at all that he didn't dare to shoot, and was thinking about how to break the situation. I saw the rich middle-aged man who had been ignored by everyone picked up the bench and smashed it at the soldier's wrist. The soldier didn't pay attention to him, and when he reacted, he was about to shake his wrist and shoot, but it was too late. It happened to be smashed on the wrist with the gun.

At this time, Li Ling strode out, and with a flying leg, he directly knocked the soldier to the ground.

Just breathed a sigh of relief, the footsteps in the inner hall were noisy, and seven or eight big men rushed out. The cousin who had just left came in with the big men, and was stunned when he saw the situation.

The woman smiled slightly, and exchanged a few words with the cousin. called Li Ling and the two of them and the rich middle-aged man to leave.

After a few people came to a chic courtyard, You Fei hugged his fists and said: "It turned out that the seventh sister returned, and I haven't seen the seventh sister since I entered the mountain gate, and I am really fortunate to meet today." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Adding the seventh in the eight halls is not considered to be in the hall, my name is Ye Wan, and everyone can call me the seventh sister." Since they are all members of their own families, let's report their names. ”

In the Hongmen Mountain Hall, there are two women seated, and the fourth row is Jin Feng, also known as Sister Jin's fourth sister, who is the spouse of the brothers in the gang. The seventh row is Yinfeng, also known as Yinmei or Seventh Sister, which is an unmarried woman who is a general, and this Ye Wan's woman is the seven-row Yinfeng.

Li Ling Youfei introduced himself, and the rich middle-aged man said: "My name is Qian Xuping, and I am a businessman in the Jianghuai area. It just happens to be the same as Brother Li Ling, so you can contact each other in the future. ”

Li Ling had a good impression, although they were all brothers and sisters in Hongmen, they were all brothers as soon as they entered Hongmen. However, the brothers who entered the mountain gate together swore a common oath to drink blood wine, and the relationship was naturally extraordinary.

Ye Wan chuckled: "That's good, the two of you can introduce someone to underwrite, and I can do something for you." ”

"I won't bother the seventh sister, I have always been good friends with the second master of the sage, the third master of Henghou, and others, and they will worry about this matter." Qian Xuping said in a flat tone, but he couldn't hide his triumph. After all, the Sage Henghou and others are basically the top existences of the Outer Eight Halls, and if these people are introduced to join the association, their status will rise a lot.

You Fei glanced at him, and said with a sigh: "Brother Li Ling doesn't have to worry about the seventh sister. The people who introduced the guarantor were Uncle Shentu of the Inner Eight Hall of Torture and Uncle Zhang of the Companion Hall. I don't have a high position in Hongmen, and I am only responsible for introducing Li Ling. ”

Ye Wan and Qian Xuping were slightly startled, and looked at Li Ling together. I don't know what kind of ability this Li Ling has, but he can get the favor of the two masters of the Inner Eight Hall, and he is a powerful figure.

Qian Xuping smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Li Ling is disrespectful, today I am the east, how about we all go out and have a good drink together?" ”

Ye Wan was a little dissatisfied, and said with a smile: "A few people who come to me can still leave, I'll make a few dishes now, and everyone will eat and drink." Then I will take you to meet some of the brothers in the door. ”

Li Ling likes to make friends the most, and she has been idle in the temple for the past few days, and when she says this, she will not refuse
