Following.

When the first touch of fish belly white was revealed in the east, and the sky seemed to be bright and not bright, Xu Zhou left the old house of the Xu family on Qingshui Street.

In the hall, the tables were spotless, and the stools were put back in their place.

The letter was hidden by Xu Zhou in a small box with money, and the piece of ink was taken out of the house by Xu Zhou early in the morning.

When he arrived at the water gate, Xu Zhou looked at a wide canal in front of him, and saw that there was no one around, so he used his greatest strength to take out the ink block from his arms and throw it into the river.

The ink blocks make a perfect arc in the air.

With a "poof", it quickly sank into the river and disappeared.

It may sink to the bottom of the river, or it may flow east with the river into the sea.

Either way, it's better than staying home.

After doing all this, Xu Zhou did not leave immediately in a hurry, but stood on the shore, holding on to the railing, gasping for breath, with a complicated expression on his face.

......

Time flies, and soon it will be the appointed hour yesterday, two o'clock. [3:30 p.m.]

Xu Zhou changed out of the jailer's clothes early, dressed up in a short shirt, and came to the Yipin Xiangfu Building to step on the spot in advance.

Yipin Xiangfu Building is a restaurant in Ping'an County, with a total of two floors. The style of the restaurant is not high, it is considered medium-grade, but its location is really good, it is in the bustling Suzaku Street, and the business is usually good.

At this time, it was the afternoon, the sun was shining, and there were few pedestrians on the street, most of them were businessmen pulling carts passing by, or scholars and young ladies who came out to shop together.

Xu Zhou arrived early and did not rush in.

Instead, I went to the teahouse diagonally opposite and asked for a location by the street to ensure that the Yipin Xiangfu Building opposite was always in my sight.

There is wind on the street, but the wind is sultry, but there is tea to relieve the heat, but it is not very hot.

Xu Zhou had come to Yipin Xiangfu Building once before, it was the first time he and Xu Baizhi met, when Qingque was also there, Xu Zhou took a temporary borrowed knife, and the shopkeeper was stunned, and finally left without even paying for the tea in the box.

I don't know if the shopkeeper will recognize himself this time, and he has to pay the tea money he owed last time.

During the time when he sat down to drink tea in the teahouse, Xu Zhou observed every guest who entered the restaurant opposite, wanting to find some clues from them...... Coming over today, according to the speculation of the Imperial City Division, it is the new members who have joined the gang to meet each other and get to know each other briefly, so as to arrange future actions.

The task is not too difficult, just listen more and see less words.

Drinking all the pots of tea into his stomach, Xu Zhou saw that the time was almost up, left the tea money on the table, and got up to go to the appointment.

In the building of a product auspicious symbol, it has long passed the hour of noon dinner, the guests sit in twos and threes, drinking a small tea to enjoy the coolness, the restaurant is very empty, even the shopkeeper is leaning on the chair behind the counter to take a break, and the head sinks and sinks.

When Xu Zhou entered the door, the young man with a white towel on his shoulder yawned and came out to greet Xu Zhou. Xu Zhou didn't wait for the guy to speak, stretched out his hand and pointed to the box upstairs, saying that he had an appointment, and went straight upstairs.

Stomp –

Climbing a few steps, Xu Zhou came to the front of the Tianzi No. 1 box.

The door to the box was closed, and someone inside was talking in a whisper.

However, when I heard someone walking in the corridor outside the door, the conversation inside stopped abruptly.

Good alertness!

Xu Zhou sighed in his heart, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Winter, winter, winter!" ”

The sound is two long and two short, and the rhythm is distinct.

Immediately, the sound of squirming footsteps sounded inside, and the voice of the horse monkey came out: "Who? ”

"It's getting late, and the guests are laughing." Xu Zhou reported the code that had been agreed on a long time ago.

The door of the box creaked open, and the horse monkey pulled Xu Zhou into the box.

After a while, the horse monkey made sure that Xu Zhou's butt did not follow the tail, and then closed the door again.

In the No. 1 box of Tianzi, there were already a few people who had arrived early, and they were sitting idly drinking tea in the box, everyone was of different ages and identities, and even when they saw Xu Zhou coming in, the expressions on their faces were different.

There are big men in the rivers and lakes who lean against the wall with swords and pretend to sleep, there are rich men with round looks and gorgeous clothes, and there are also dark-skinned old men in their seventies and eighties. In short, these people don't seem to have much in common.

Seeing that everyone arrived, the horse monkey did not delay any longer and began to get down to business.

"Everyone, welcome to the Heaven and Earth Society!" The horse monkey spread out his arms and longed to stand on the table.

Everyone glanced at each other, and they all clasped their fists in salute, only Xu Zhou looked confused: "!

！ ”

However, he quickly realized that this should be a means to confuse outsiders.

In the future, everyone can't call themselves the Demon Sect Flame Hall, so they have to change their name.

And the Tiandihui is the new name, the name given by the horse monkey.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Society are also under his unified management, and in the future, everyone's direct boss will be Ma Monkey, the old man of the Demon Sect Flame Hall.

"Let's get to know each other." The horse monkey spread his hands and sat down.

The big man holding the sword came first, opened his eyes, and said in a thick voice: "Heaven and Earth Society, Wang Dajian, people from the west of the city, my father is ......"

The rich boy cocked Erlang's legs and said disdainfully: "Heaven and earth will meet, the field has wealth, and the family has 10,000 acres of fertile land." ”

The old man said in a dumb voice: "Heaven and Earth Society, Wu Qili, fishing old man." ”

In the end, it was Xu Zhou's turn.

Xu Zhou stood up confidently, hugged his fists and said: "Heaven and Earth will be Chen Jinnan, please take care of me in the future." ”

The horse monkey can't see through it, anyway, everyone doesn't have a real name.

After hugging each other's identities, the horse monkey said a few more important things.

This is first of all the rules of the Heaven and Earth Society.

In private, members can't meet each other, and even if they bump into each other on the road, they have to pretend that they don't know each other, and they can only contact each other through one line.

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

And then it's what everyone has to do every day.

Nowadays, most of the Demon Sects in the capital have entered a state of silence, and everyone only needs to be their original selves, secretly collect relevant information, and compile it into a book, and every ten years, the horse monkeys will come to check one by one.

chattered, and the horse monkey also talked for half an hour.

In the end, the big man holding the sword couldn't help but ask: "When will the antidote be given?" ”

The horse monkey glanced at the big man dissatisfied, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead: "At the beginning of each month, I will personally go to the door to deliver it." ”

After hearing this, the big man with the sword nodded.

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd dispersed.

However, the horse monkey deliberately left Xu Zhou, and in the eyes of others, this means to focus on cultivation.

opened the window and watched a few of his minions leave safely, and the horse monkey standing by the window secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he used to be a low-level minion, and he was even inferior to his peers.

Unexpectedly, this time, the contact point of the "Shang" Ji Shop, was served by the people of the Imperial City Division, and there was a shortage of personnel, and he was unexpectedly promoted by Wei Xiangzhu to become the small leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, responsible for managing three or four people.

From a small minion to a small leader, the horse monkey is really a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

Xu Zhou sat on the couch and drank tea, but his eyes never left the horse monkey, and he secretly laughed in his heart.

It is common for a promotion to shake its majesty in front of its subordinates, and to be nervous.

When the horse monkey was talking at length in front of everyone just now, Xu Zhou found that the horse monkey was wiping his sweat vigorously.

It's either nervousness or kidney deficiency.

"Your name is Chen Jinnan, right?" The horse monkey closed the window and examined the person he valued the most in the Heaven and Earth Society.
