It was almost noon, and the streets of Qizhou City were full of people, and the vendors were shouting and scolding the streets, which was no different from the usual days.

But in the eyes of Li Donglai and others, there is a strange feeling that is indescribable.

Is their nest still there?

Walking silently all the way, after passing through a few street corners, Hu Yishun suddenly became excited.

There was no other reason, but he saw the spire of his octagonal copper building.

After another street corner, Hu Yishun saw an open shop - through the door, you can see the shopkeeper inside, running the hall and other people walking back and forth, still open as usual.

Although the octagonal copper building is mainly engaged in the ore business, it still has a business of jade, jewelry and antiques.

"Boss, you're back." When the shopkeeper saw Hu Yishun, he hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm not here for a few days, what's the floor like?" Hu Yishun hurriedly asked.

"This ......" The shopkeeper's face was rather strange.

"Say it straight!" Hu Yishun said angrily.

"Just talking about our floor business, as well as the dozen or so shops under your name, they haven't been affected too much." The shopkeeper said, "However, the rest of your business has been taken back by the Eagle Claw Gate. ”

Hu Yishun understood as soon as he heard it, the territory that once belonged to the Eagle Claw Gate had all been taken away, but his own private business, the Eagle Claw Gate had not moved a bit.

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Li Donglai and the others, who knew the situation, showed different looks.

"Let's go and see somewhere else." Meng Geying urged.

So Hu Yishun stayed, and the rest of the people continued to move forward.

On West Eighth Street, the door of Zhao Zigao's three-forked hall is closed.

However, after Zhao Zigao appeared, the three-pronged sentinel who was secretly monitoring found out and hurriedly opened the door to greet him.

When asked about the current situation in the meeting, the situation was similar to that of the Octagonal Copper Building, which was deprived of the land involved in the Eagle Claw Gate, and only the private property of the Triparted Society remained.

Zhao Zigao asked everyone to sit down, but how could they have such leisure, so they immediately left.

Next, Meng Geying and Yu Zhenzhong returned to their own halls one after another.

The last to arrive home was Li Donglai.

In the past, the Black Eagle Hall, and now the helm of the vest gang, are hidden in an inconspicuous dwelling.

Li Donglai walked into a soybean milk shop seemingly casually, and Xiao Er, who owned his own shop, rolled up the curtain to open the way for him.

Behind the soy milk shop, there is a cave.

Between several low earthen buildings, there is an elegant and exquisite courtyard with the singing of birds and flowers, small bridges and flowing water.

Li Donglai walked into the hospital, and the gardeners, handymen and others saw him, but they were silent.

After passing through a heavy hall and turning into the study, Li Donglai opened one of the drawers, took out several pieces of letter paper placed in it, and began to study it carefully.

After touching about half of the incense, he read all the letterheads, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

What's next?

Li Donglai didn't know what to do, and the silver bell hanging by the window suddenly rang.

"Come in." Li Donglai said in a deep voice.

The door opened, and a servant bowed inside.

"Commander, Helm...... A letter arrived from the Eagle Claw Gate. The little guy said respectfully.

"When was it delivered?" Li Donglai asked.

"Just now." The little guy replied.

"Sure enough, they've been watching us?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Donglai's mouth, "Put the letter here, step down." ”

The little guy retreated.

What will be in the letter?

Li Donglai hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, picked up the paper cutter at hand, and gently cut the opening of the envelope.

With the tip of the knife again, the letter paper suddenly slides out.

"This ......" Li Donglai's pupils dilated suddenly.

The letter was spread out and lay quietly in the center of the table.

Topmost......

Empty!

A wordless letter?

"I see." A different color flashed in Li Donglai's eyes, "I'm ...... How to choose? ”

Leaving the study, he stood in the courtyard, facing the stream for a moment.

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic!"

Li Donglai waved his sleeves, resolutely left the secret cave here, and went straight to the helm of the Eagle Claw Gate.

In front of the main helm gate, You Dongguang was already waiting.

"Hall Master Li, please come here." You Dongguang arched his hand and politely led Li Donglai to the side hall where the guests were entertained.

I only heard the sound of the tea cup in the side hall, but there were already guests.

"Old Meng, you actually came faster than me?" Li Donglai said unexpectedly.

That's right, at this moment, Meng Geying was leaning on the table of the Eight Immortals, holding a teapot and pouring himself a drink.

"Of course I'm faster than you." Meng Geying looked like a matter of course, "I just entered the gate in front of me, and then I slipped through the back door and came this way." ”

"What's ......" Li Donglai's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized something, and slammed the table: "You! You! ”

"You guessed it right." Meng Geying shook his head and said, "My old Meng is the one with the deepest burial and the best acting skills." ”

"What, can you obey those little kids?" Li Donglai frowned.

"I'm not obeying them." Meng Geying said, "Before Feng Zun left, please ask me to cooperate with this scene, hoping to keep the Eagle Claw Gate, or with my temper, I wouldn't have waded into this troubled water at all." ”

Fengzun, naturally Yang Caifeng.

Although there are no explicit rules for the title on the rivers and lakes, it has its own set of unspoken rules - who can be called an ancestor, what identity is suitable for respect, what situation can be called a king, there is always a general cause and effect, if you shout indiscriminately, you will only be ridiculed.

Like the Eagle Claw King, it is recognized that he is the best in the cultivation of Eagle Claw Gong, so he deserves to add such a 'king'.

In the same way, the same is true of the martial master's knife king, and there are few people in the martial arts today who can compare with him.

But if the word 'respect' is added to the title, the situation is different.

This is often an organizational status symbol.

What organization?

Martial Arts League!

The largest black and white joint covenant body in the ninety-nine states.

Yang Caifeng's grandfather, who was one of the one hundred and five Venerables of the Martial Arts League in the past, traveled the world full-time and presided over martial arts justice.

It's a pity that time has changed, and after all kinds of accidents, the current power of the Martial Arts Alliance is not as good as before, and the position of the Martial Arts Venerable also exists in name only.

And Yang Caifeng inherited her grandfather's title of Martial Arts Venerable, if her sect was one of the three thousand members of the Martial Arts League, she would naturally have to call her Fengzun.

"There's really no way they're going to just leave it alone." Li Donglai smiled bitterly, "Apart from you, there must be other arrangements!" ”

"Wake up." Meng Geying turned the teacup and said, "This time is different from the past, the Eagle Claw Gate is already the world of young people—I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire rivers and lakes will be the world of young people." ”

"Young man......" Li Donglai sighed, "Are we really old?" ”

"Old, I'm not convinced." Meng Geying smiled, "But at this age, it's not clear how much food you have?" Don't eat it. ”

Listening to Meng Geying's words, Li Donglai bowed his head slightly and said, "I just don't know, what will they do?" ”

Li Donglai is naturally referring to Zhao Zigao, Yu Zhenzhong, and Hu Yishun.

Will they come?
