After about a cup of tea, Xu Tianchuan, Guan Fuzi and others walked out, and Xu Tianchuan said: "Eighteen brothers, the chief helmsman is invited." ”

Ye Kai put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, stood up and followed Xu Tianchuan and the others inside, and came to a side room. That Xu Tianchuan lifted the curtain of the door and said, "The leader of the Qing Gang, Mao Eighteen, and the eighteen brothers have arrived!" ”

Seeing that Xu Tianchuan and the others were not going to go in, Ye Kai smiled and nodded at them, and then walked in alone.

As soon as he stepped into the room, a middle-aged scholar dressed as a scribe stood up, only to see him smile and say, "Please come in!" ”

Ye Kai looked up when he heard this, and saw that this person had a kind expression, but his eyes were like lightning, shooting straight over, as if he could see through people's hearts. Ye Kai hurriedly hugged his fists and smiled: "I have heard the prestige of Mr. Chen for a long time, and now I see that it is really worthy of the name, in the eighteenth of Xiamao, I will meet Mr. Chen!" ”

Saying that, Ye Kai was about to bow down, but the scholar, that is, Chen Jinnan, hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to support Ye Kai, and said with a smile: "Chen's name is just a friend of the rivers and lakes, and the eighteen brothers have merit in capturing Shi Song, and they will be kind to our heaven and earth, and there is no need for such a big gift." ”

Ye Kai smiled and no longer insisted on saluting. Chen Jinnan pointed to a chair and smiled, "Please take a seat!" Saying that, he sat down first, Ye Kai was not a hypocritical person, so he naturally sat down.

Chen Jinnan smiled: "I heard that the eighteen brothers escaped from prison in Yangzhou, and it only took half a month to rule the local Caoyun No. 1 gang of Qinggang, and captured the elite troops under Ao Bai on the bank of the Huai River. What a teenage hero! ”

Ye Kai, who was sitting on the side, raised his head, made eye contact with Chen Jinnan, and after being silent for a few seconds, he told the truth about what he had done in Yangzhou. Except for concealing his true identity, the rest of the story is 100% true. Moreover, Ye Kai took the initiative to take the role of Mao Eighteen at this time, so it can be said that Ye Kai's words did not have the slightest flaw.

From the first time Ye Kai saw Chen Jinnan, he knew that there was no point in lying to the other party. Instead, it will only arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Besides, what Ye Kai did in Yangzhou had nothing to hide. Although the method of killing the original leader of the Qing Gang and harmonizing ~ teaching the members of the Qing Gang is a bit shocking, it is only in this way that Chen Jinnan can pay enough attention.

Chen Jinnan listened without saying a word, nodded and said: "I see, Chen heard that there was a martial arts called the Flame Knife in the rivers and lakes during the Northern Song Dynasty, which was also able to give birth to flames with both hands. I didn't expect that the eighteen brothers would be able to have this chance at such a young age, which is really rare. ”

With Chen Jinnan's experience, it is naturally impossible to regard Ye Kai as the reincarnation of some fire god, but being able to take the initiative to make up his brain into the flame knife of the monk Gu Mozhi is also missing Ye Kai's tongue.

Ye Kai nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Chief Helmsman Chen has seen so much, and even such a long-standing old martial arts news can be known. That's right, this is exactly the Jianghu Peerless Flame Knife more than three hundred years ago. ”

Seeing that Ye Kai did not deny it, Chen Jinnan seemed to be a little excited, stood up and said: "It's not that Chen doesn't believe in the eighteen brothers, it's just that can you let Chen see this mastery." ”

This is the expression that every martial arts practitioner should have, and when he is excited in the face of the legendary Jianghu mastery, Chen Jinnan is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

"Chief Helmsman Chen laughed, but it's just a demonstration, what's so difficult." Ye Kai stood up with a smile, urging the glove of flame in his hand, and sure enough, he saw inches of flame slowly rising from Ye Kai's hands.

Chen Jinnan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw this, stretched out his hand to feel it for a moment, and said: "It seems that the eighteen brothers' martial arts have not yet been practiced to the depths of the essence, and now although they can also condense flames, it seems that they are just the power of ordinary flames. There is still a difference with the legendary Flame Knife. ”

With Chen Jinnan's strength, this ordinary flame naturally couldn't pose a threat to him, so it was no wonder he would say so.

In this regard, Ye Kai could only nod perfunctorily, and he couldn't tell the other party that his gloves were too cheap to be able to condense flames, which was already good.

Tentative talk, that's it. Chen Jinnan walked around the room with his hands in his hands, and finally opened his mouth to explain his purpose of summoning Ye Kai alone this time.

"Eighteen brothers, Chen will tell you the truth here. Chen would like to formally invite the Eighteen Brothers and the group of Green Gang Brothers under you to join our Heaven and Earth Society. ”

Ye Kai couldn't guess that Chen Jinnan summoned him for his purpose, and he had already prepared his words when he came.

"Thanks to the love of Mr. Chen, it's just that my brothers are used to being free and loose, if I join your association, I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of your association at that time." Ye Kai paused, glanced up at Chen Jinnan, and continued. "Of course, my generation of Han people will naturally make their own contributions to the great cause of the anti-Qing Dynasty as much as possible. If heaven and earth will be useful to my Qinggang when the time comes, we will definitely do it. In this way, my Qinggang can form an alliance with your association, and I promise that as long as it is a water transportation thing of the Heaven and Earth Society, it will be covered by our Qinggang. ”

Chen Jinnan originally planned to continue to persuade Ye Kai to join the meeting, but when he heard Ye Kai say this, he couldn't say anything more. Anyway, the lowest expectation has been reached, and in this way, the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society in terms of water transportation is one point stronger. If you really want to break out a full-scale war with the Qing court at that time, transportation logistics is the most important thing. With Chen Jinnan's vision, it is natural to take precautions in advance.

After that, the two talked for a while, looking like they were talking happily.

At this time, Xu Tianchuan came in and reported that Leng Shao, Blood Bat, Manniu and Li Ji had finally arrived. For these new members and heroes, Chen Jinnan naturally wants to meet them.

And just when Ye Kai went out, he happened to meet a few cold people who came to him, and Ye Kai didn't pay attention to it at all. Instead, he greeted Liji: "Yo, Ice Beauty, you still have two swords out yet, don't forget." ”

In the face of Ye Kai's naked ignorance, Leng Shao and the others were already angry in their hearts at this time, thinking about how they could be treated like this by a newcomer. Ahem, in fact, they are just newcomers. It's just two more copies than Ye Kai, but in front of Ye Kai, he can be called a veteran. However, for this kind of "veteran", Ye Kai is obviously not cold.

Liji glanced at Ye Kai, ignored it, and walked in by herself.
