Later, the Oriental people thought that he was dead, and Li Zhou was seriously injured at that time, he drifted along the river, and was fortunately rescued by a boatload of girls, and did not die.

After Li Zhou recovered from his injuries, he went back to kill his good friend who betrayed him, and also killed the Oriental generals at that time, and then he went to Nanyang incognito in order to avoid the pursuit of the Orientals, and it was not until the end of the War of Resistance against Japan that Li Zhou returned to China, and accepted Zhang Tongji as his close disciple at the age of sixty-nine.

"Fellow Jianghu, heroes and heroes, thank you for coming to witness the ceremony of my Zhang Tongji washing hands and retiring from the rivers and lakes today, as the saying goes, there are talents in the rivers and lakes, each leading the way for decades, and now it is the world of young people, and it is time for old bones like me to take a break. ”

After Zhang Tongji's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and Zhang Tongji raised his hands and pressed down, and only after the scene was quiet did he continue.

"I Zhang Tongji has practiced martial arts all my life, fought a lifetime of boxing, won and lost countless times, beaten the Oriental devils, fought the Western boxing king, met the masters of the north and south, and the strong support of many of my colleagues in the rivers and lakes, I Zhang Tongji can make a name for myself, although I have not been rich and rich, but I have a clear conscience. ”

"After the hand-washing ceremony is over, Honghua will be selected to take my place, no matter what sect or faction can participate in grabbing Honghua, and my mantle will also be inherited by my youngest daughter Zhang Yuying, please take care of her in the future, Yuying came to see all the seniors in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Zhang Yuying has seen all the seniors. A girl in her twenties, who appeared by Zhang Tongji's side heroically, said generously to everyone.

And when Ye Wudao saw Zhang Yuying, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face, he didn't expect Zhang Yuying to be a big girl, when Ye Wudao first saw her, she was only about twelve years old, and Ye Wudao was only ten years old, Ye Wudao followed the old man to visit Zhang Tongji at that time, and had a fight with this girl.

And Ye Wudao still remembered that he beat Zhang Yuying to cry at that time, and asked her to run back to complain to Zhang Tongji, and she was also cleaned up by the old man.

Later, Ye Wudao also gave her a grasshopper that she had woven with straw rope, which made her burst into tears and laugh, but she didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye, and it is estimated that this girl will not recognize herself.

"My father is 70 years old this year, his energy is limited, we as his children do not want to see him work so hard, this time my father washed his hands and retired from the rivers and lakes, from then on, no longer pay attention to some grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, and his mantle will also be inherited by me, I hope that your predecessors will take care of it in the future. ”

Zhang Yuying, as Zhang Tongji's daughter, she has followed Zhang Tongji to practice martial arts since she was a child, and followed him to the north and south.

"The time has come, please ask Mr. Zhang to offer incense. Not long after Zhang Yuying finished speaking, the ceremony began.

I saw Zhang Tongji pick up three lit incense, bow three times to a red table with roast pigs and tribute, and then hold the incense with both hands and insert it on the incense burner, at this time two people brought a shelf over, and there was a golden basin filled with warm water on the shelf, Zhang Tongji washed his hands in the golden basin, and then dried his hands with a towel, and the whole ceremony was completed.

At this time, there was a burst of congratulatory applause at the scene, as a person from the rivers and lakes, there are actually very few people who can get out of the old age, and the washing of hands in the golden basin is just a symbolic ceremony, and it does not mean anything, but Zhang Tongji wants to tell the people in the rivers and lakes that he has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

But in fact, can he really withdraw from the rivers and lakes? I'm afraid Zhang Tongji also knows in his heart that this is just self-deception, he is a Jianghu person for one day, and he is a Jianghu person all his life, and many grievances and hatreds are not something that you can break if you want to, and it is good to be able to die well when you are old.

"Thank you very much for your support. Zhang Tongji hugged his fist at the scene and said with a red face.

"Now that I have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, the position I hold as the chairman of the Huawu Council is no longer suitable, so a heroic meeting will be held here today, and whoever can get the red flower will be the president of the next Huawu Council. ”

"After discussions between the north and the south, this time only young people under the age of 30 will be selected to serve as candidates, after all, our rivers and lakes must also keep pace with the times, keep up with the development of society, and hope that they can inject a new vitality into the rivers and lakes of China. Zhang Tongji said.

In the past, the head of the Huawu Council has always selected those who are highly respected to take on the role, and this is the first time that the opportunity has been given to young people, but in fact, thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand that they will make this decision.

After all, the current rivers and lakes are not decades ago, many things are changing, computers, mobile phones, high technology has flooded people's lives, now it can be said that it is an era of decline of martial arts, there are few people who are willing to practice martial arts, if you don't make some changes, I'm afraid that the rivers and lakes will really disappear in the future.

"Alright, I won't talk nonsense, now I declare that the heroes will begin. After Zhang Tongji finished speaking, he came to the middle of Area A and sat down, and then talked and laughed with the people around him.

As long as the person who has received the Swift invitation can participate, but only the winner can snatch the safflower, although there are many people who come tonight, but in fact, there are not many people who have the ability to participate, more just to see the excitement.

At this time, a man in his twenties walked into the square hall, first arched his hand in the direction of Zhang Tongji, and then said with some arrogance: "Hongquanmen Zhao Hai, does anyone dare to come up and challenge me." ”

As soon as his words fell, someone immediately responded, and it was a young man who played mantis boxing, but this young man was obviously not Zhao Hai's opponent, Zhao Hai just used one move, and defeated this person who used mantis boxing, and it can be seen that he does have the qualifications to be arrogant.

Next, a few more people who challenged him went up, all of whom were defeated by Zhao Hai without exception, but Ye Wudao seemed a little bored, yawning from time to time, looking like he wanted to doze off.

"Ye Wudao, don't you go up and fight him?" Wang Shiying asked him in a low voice.

And unlike Ye Wudao, Wang Shiying seemed very excited, she didn't expect that there were really martial arts masters in this world, especially the person named Zhao Hai, who smashed a table with one punch just now, this kind of tense and exciting picture, on weekdays, she can only see it in the lens of martial arts movies.
