Zhang May let go of his hand: "How can you admit your mistake? Aren't you Zhong Boyu?"

Zhong Boyu turned his face away: "I don't know you."

"When I went to school in the Shangqing Palace, I was arranged to go to Wuzhou Daofu for an internship, you were a deacon at the time, right? You also took me for a while, and then you quit your job and want to walk the rivers and lakes, and I also sent you off." Zhang May said, "How did you run to the New World?"

Zhong Boyu was called by Zhang May, and he really couldn't pretend to be fine: "Why are you also in the New World?"

Zhang May said: "Ask for money, come and try your luck, in case you get rich, you can buy a suite in Yujing Taishangfang, and you can get married." I just finished talking to people about business and was about to go back, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhong Boyu cleared his throat: "I also came here to ask for money, and they all said that the New World is full of gold, so I came to take a look. It's not easy to do business now, you have to drink with people, and today I met a difficult master, and I said a few drinks, no, I have to drink 'drunk life and dream death', this wine has a lot of energy, and I accidentally drank too much."

Zhang May pretended to be confused: "This person is not particular, how can he throw you on the side of the road?"

Zhong Boyu said: "I can't say that, they were originally going to arrange a car to send me, I said that I just walked back, just sobered up, I didn't expect this thing to get drunk in the wind, it was okay just now, as soon as the night breeze blew, I was drunk in a daze, and my brain was not good, so I didn't recognize you."

Zhang May did not dismantle the stage: "So that's the case."

Zhong Boyu asked, "Have you eaten?"

Zhang May touched her stomach: "I drank wine tonight and didn't eat anything."

Zhong Boyu said, "It's just right, I vomited all the things I ate just now, let's one."

Zhang May glanced at the sky: "It's all this time, the restaurant should be closed, tomorrow, tomorrow."

"It's fine." Zhong Boyu said, "I know that the family makes breakfast, and they get up in the middle of the night to prepare, and we just go over, so we should have breakfast."

Zhang May had no choice but to agree: "Old Zhong, you are very familiar with this side."

Zhong Boyu waved his hand: "Generally, it's mainly that I've been here for a while."

Under the leadership of Zhong Boyu, the two came to a small shop and asked for two bowls of noodles, no beef, and alpaca meat instead. It is full of strength, and very chewy, slightly harder than mutton, textured like beef, and not greasy.

Zhong Boyu asked again, "Is there any wine?"

Zhang May said, "Didn't you just drink 'drunk life and dream death'?"

Zhong Boyu smacked his lips: "The main thing is to form a habit, you have to drink before you can eat."

Zhang May had no choice but to say, "Boss, come to a pot of wine."

When the wine was delivered, Zhong Boyu had to give in: "You taste this."

Zhang May declined: "I usually like to drink red wine and rice wine, but I don't like white wine."

Zhong Boyu said: "Red wine and rice wine, they are too soft, but not enjoyable, it has to be strong enough liquor, and this is corn wine, there is no one in the Central Plains, you have never drunk it."

Zhang May said, "Isn't this sorghum wine? It doesn't taste good."

"Really?" Zhong Boyu's face did not change, "There is also corn wine in the Central Plains? I don't remember."

Zhang May hesitated, "That'...... Didn't you?"

…。。

Zhong Boyu looked at Zhang May: "Either you remember wrong, or I remember wrong, there must be a mistake. But I think you're mistaken."

"What the hell is there...... Or not?" Zhang May is also not very confident.

"Not really." Zhong Boyu said, "Corn and sorghum are different, the leaves of corn are wide, the leaves of sorghum are narrow, and sorghum is the top ear, red grains, corn is long cobs, yellow grains, the difference is big."

Zhang May nodded: "It's all knowledge. But forget it, I've already drunk a lot tonight, and I really can't drink anymore."

Zhong Boyu was no longer humble, took a sip of wine, a mouthful of noodles, and ate very fragrantly, and did not forget to ask Zhang May: "Eating this meal, have you been wronged, are you used to eating?"

Zhang May mixed the noodles and took a big bite: "There's nothing I can't get used to, I eat very well."

"That's good, that's good." Zhong Boyu nodded, "For ordinary people, as long as they can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship. But for a family like you, you have to endure hardships to become a master."

Zhang May laughed it off.

When it was time to settle the bill, Zhong Boyu rushed to settle the bill, but when he touched his body, he had no money.

Zhang May was not surprised: "It's better for me to come."

As he spoke, Zhang May took out a Taiping coin from his sleeve pocket: "No need to look for it."

The boss didn't expect to make a lot of money just after opening, and it was really a fortune, so he naturally thanked him repeatedly.

Zhong Boyu said earnestly: "We are here to do business, not to enjoy happiness, we can save it."

Zhang May said: "Thrifty is what you should do, but when you go out, you can't help but talk about noodles. How much money I actually have, how much money others think I have, how much money I can mobilize, are three different things. I can't be too frugal if I want people to think I have a lot of money."

Zhong Boyu no longer hung up: "Now there are only two people here, you take a Taiping money and invite me to eat a bowl of noodles, do you want me to think how much money you have?"

Zhang May smiled: "Of course, the more the merrier."

Zhong Boyu said: "I remember, your sister is Zhang Yuelu, then Qi Xuansu is your brother-in-law, you all know that Qi Xuansu is now a man of the hour, even if you can raise 10 million Taiping money, I won't be surprised."

Zhang May restrained his smile: "Don't talk about this, you had a realm and cultivation back then, after so many years, not to mention going to the next level, at least you won't end up on the streets, even if you can't open the valley, with a realm of cultivation, it's not difficult to mix some money, why bother me for a bowl of noodles to eat."

Zhong Boyu sighed: "You see that?"

Zhang Wuyue reached out and grabbed Zhong Boyu's wrist: "What about your realm cultivation?"

Zhong Boyu said indifferently: "It was abolished."

Zhang May asked, "How did you get rid of it?"

"It's a long story for a child to have no mother." Zhong Boyu had probably seen it, his eyes were not red, and there was no sadness coming from it, he was very calm.

Zhang May said softly, "I want to hear it."

Zhong Boyu said calmly: "After I left the Wuzhou Provincial Mansion, I walked the rivers and lakes, and by chance I entered the Eight Tribes."

"The Secret Society that splintered from the creation project? I've heard that some secret associations are now being normalized, and the eight tribes are also among them, so they can make their identities public." When Zhang May was in Nanyang, he had heard of the Eight Divisions, and Phantom Ji had a lot of business dealings with these people.

…。。

Zhong Boyu continued, "Later, I entered the White Jade Hall from the Eight Divisions, which is quite useful."

Zhang May had not served in the Daomen for a long time, and he had not entered some special departments, so he didn't know much about secret associations, so he couldn't help asking, "What kind of secret association is this Baiyutang?"

Zhong Boyu explained: "The members of the Eight Sects are very complex, in addition to the Taoist priests who have betrayed the Daomen, there are also some Taoist priests who have not betrayed the Daoist Sect and have also secretly joined the Eight Sects as individuals, and they put forward the purpose of helping each other, and the Taoist priests who have not betrayed the Daoist sect provide shelter for the Eight Sects and share the fruits of the Eight Sects."

"In fact, in addition to being connected with the incumbent Taoist priests of the Daomen, the Eight Divisions have also had similar relationships with the core members of other secret societies in recent years, including the Zhimei Sect, the Qingping Society, the 'Inn', the Seven Treasure Fang, and the 'Heavenly Court'. It is precisely because of the extremely close and complex exchange of interests between them that although these secret societies also have contradictions with each other, they still form an alliance that is only related to the eight tribes through the thread of the needle of the Eight Tribes."

"If you have to make an analogy, it's probably like a partnership to do business, Zhimingjiao, Qingping Society, 'Inn', Qibaofang, and 'Heavenly Court' contribute money and shares, which is considered to be the owner, and does not participate in the operation, but is only responsible for investing money and dividends, and the eight departments are the shopkeepers, mainly responsible for management, and also participate in dividends. In order to coordinate the relationship between the parties, the Eight Tribes and other secret societies were formed

A special ***, this is 'Bai Yutang'. The members of the White Jade Hall are all dual identities, one is a member of the White Jade Hall, and the other is a member of the secret association to which they originally belonged."

"Many years after the establishment of the White Jade Hall, there was a gradual tendency to break away from the major secret associations and set up their own doors, and the major secret societies also noticed this trend and decisively intervened. After an unknown infighting, Bai Yutang no longer tried to stand on its own, but it still maintained a considerable independence."

Zhang May understood, but didn't care: "This should be considered a good thing, if you can go to Baiyutang, it means that you have entered the core layer. Then something happened?"

Zhong Boyu was full of emotion: "Every decision made by the big people will have a price for the little people. A big man can drown an unlucky person when a spittle star falls. I'm the one who was unlucky. Daomen's decision to normalize some secret associations actually means that except for the Zhiming Sect and the Lingshan Witch Sect, the rest of the secret associations can stand under the sun openly, remove the word 'secret', and become normal associations, as for the past, they will not be investigated. However, there is also a premise, and that is to draw a clear line with the Knowing Destiny Sect and the Lingshan Witch Sect."

"As I said earlier, when the White Jade Hall was established, there were people from the Knowing Destiny Sect within it, so several other secret associations decided to dissolve the White Jade Hall, execute all the members of the Knowing Destiny Sect, and cross-purge the rest of the White Jade Hall members, that is, the people you kill me, and I kill you. For them, it is very cost-effective and necessary to just kill a few members in exchange for the trust of the Daomen."

"Now, there is no Bai Yutang anymore, I am also among the purges, I escaped with my life, and my realm cultivation was completely lost, my former boss took pity on me and arranged for me to go to sea, so I came to the Southern Continent. As for doing business or something, just listen to it."

Zhang May was silent for a while.

These battles are a bit far away for him, like two worlds, in a sense, he is well protected, especially after the rise of his sister and brother-in-law, surrounded by "good people", polite and harmonious.

However, Zhang May also understands that this is just an illusion, if there is no such protection, is the "good person" still a good person? Don't talk about others, just talk about that Qian Xisheng, is this a good stubble? Will you take a bite of a brother?

Zhang May asked, "Then where do you live?"

"Go with the flow." Zhong Boyu said, "Some people are obsessed with the house, feeling that there is no tile to cover their body and no place to stand below, then they will not be able to live. I'm different, I can live anywhere, you know the stove that boils hot water on the street, wait until the fire goes out, spread the ashes, and sleep in the furnace hole. There are also bridges, haystacks, and construction sites, which are places where I often hang out."
