The sun is shining. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even so, winter is not over yet, and the cold is still everywhere.

Xu is the New Year, only to see the streets and alleys are clothed in red, but it adds a little warmth, Rao is these days, people live hard, the New Year is still the top priority, sloppy.

Baili Pingyun let his subordinates carry a few boxes of gifts, and followed himself and Jiang Zhilan to the location of the Hongmen Wuchang Branch, which is very conspicuous in Wuchang, even if you ask someone on the street, you can point it out, but the tone is a little afraid.

At this time, the entrance of Hongmen Hall has already hung lanterns, pasted couplets, it is very jubilant, that is, the people pass by, and they are also smiling opposite, without a trace of fierceness, obviously very particular about the New Year.

The person guarding the door saw Baili Pingyun and others coming, and couldn't help but be a little curious, even after coming to Wuchang over the years, from time to time there were small gangs of people who came to visit during the New Year, although there were a lot of them, but they were also familiar faces, at this time, Baili Pingyun and others were obviously not among them, so it was not too much to be curious.

But after all, this Hongmen is a big gang for this place, and when he saw people coming to give gifts, he couldn't lose face, so he walked a few people forward, and said to Baili Pingyun: "Where is my brother from, what are you doing when you come to my Hongmen Hall this time?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say", Jiang Zhilan walked out first, and also returned the salute, and then said: "The deputy leader of the Xiayulong Alliance", and then pointed to Baili Pingyun and said: "This is my alliance leader Baili Pingyun." ”

This person frowned after hearing this, obviously he had not heard of the Fish Dragon Alliance, and the name of Baili Pingyun, so he could only ask: "Dare to ask what kind of gang this Fish Dragon Alliance is doing the Cao Yun business, forgive me for being lonely and unheard." ”

Jiang Zhilan waved her hand and said: "It's not your fault, just because my Fish and Dragon League was recently established, and it was only yesterday that I stood in Wuchang, and I asked this little brother to inform me that the main and deputy leaders of my Fish and Dragon League had something to come to visit." ”

"This...", this person looked embarrassed, obviously afraid of going in to report and be scolded, but if he didn't report it, if there was really any character behind this Fish and Dragon Alliance, wouldn't it be plain to offend the big guys, this is a two-pleasing thing, no wonder this person is like this, if Jiang Zhilan can understand it, I am afraid that I can hear that this person has already scolded himself and Baili Pingyun and his family. But Jiang Zhilan is so smart, I am afraid that she has already guessed what he thinks in her heart, but she squints and smiles without saying a word.

When this person was in a dilemma, a person walked out of the hall, and when he saw the situation in the hundred miles of Pingyun, he was a little curious, so he chose to step forward and asked, "But what happened?"

As soon as this man heard the voice, he turned his head to look at it, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and saluted the speaker: "My subordinates have seen the deputy hall master. ”

"Exemption from courtesy", it turned out that the person who came was Xu Zifa, the deputy hall master of the Wuchang Branch Hall of Hongmen, not only sat in this position at the age of thirty, but also the kung fu in his hands was not bad, he was good at southern boxing and outer door exercises, and it was winter at this time, he only wore a short coat when he came out and did not feel cold, it can be seen that he is not an ordinary person.

This person whispered in Xu Zifa's ear at this time, Xu Zifa nodded while listening, and looked at Jiang Zhilan and Baili Pingyun from time to time, and after finishing speaking, he laughed and walked to Baili Pingyun and said: "It turns out that you are the leader of the Fish and Dragon Alliance that has been spreading all over this time, and it is really better to see than to hear." ”

Baili Pingyun was a little puzzled when he heard this: "You know me?"

Jiang Zhilan raised her elbow to a hundred miles of flat clouds, and saluted Xu Zifa with a smile: "This deputy hall master deals with the affairs of the gang every day, and his memory must be outstanding, and of course a name is not a problem. ”

Xu Zifa waved his hand and smiled: "The girl misunderstood, in fact, I heard that the name of your alliance leader is indeed true, and I also heard that this hundred miles alliance leader is young and promising, and now I see it, it is true, and it is a little smaller than I imagined." ”

"Then Deputy Hall Master Xu is not going to invite us to go in and sit, I think my subordinates are already tired of carrying these big boxes", Jiang Zhilan smiled mischievously, pointed to the few people under him who carried the boxes and said, in fact, these people are not bad at martial arts, just a few boxes, even if they carry it for a while, it will be fine, how can they be tired during this conversation, obviously Jiang Zhilan wants to go into the hall to talk.

"Haha", this Xu Zifa is obviously a very heroic person, and when he heard the words, he said: "It's my fault, it's my thoughtlessness, please come in", Xu Zifa said, beckoning his subordinates to come over and help lift the boxes.

These Hongmen brothers only felt that the lives of the few people in front of them were not very strong, and they were even inferior to their own people, so they stepped forward with a smile and wanted to lift the box, but they didn't expect that the alley was extremely heavy, so they replaced the two of them, but it still didn't work, until the three of them barely lifted up, and they were also sweating profusely, and their faces were red.

The brothers who came with the Fish and Dragon League deliberately didn't say it, just because they thought it was funny, although they were not very famous in the rivers and lakes, they could work hard under their hands, and their strength was not a joke, and they could lift things that could only be lifted by two or three ordinary men with one hand, although there were many masters in this Hongmen, but some of the brothers below were just ordinary people who practiced relatively strongly, where would they think that the people in the entire Fish and Dragon League were all composed of martial arts practitioners in the rivers and lakes, and they lost face at once.

Xu Zifa shook his head from the sidelines, but he didn't say anything, he just wanted the brothers to know that there were actually people outside the people, and he didn't want one to enter the Hongmen so that he could sit back and relax, and he should always be vigilant.

At the Hongmen meeting room, Xu Zifa sat next to the main seat, looking at Baili Pingyun and others, but the main seat on the side was empty, Xu Zifa saw the doubts in the hearts of the two and said: "My hall master has been recalled to discuss some things in the past few days, and he will come back in a few days. ”

Jiang Zhilan glanced at Baili Pingyun, and when she saw that he didn't understand, she patted her chest, and Baili Pingyun suddenly took out an invitation card and asked Hongmen's subordinates to hand it over.

After Xu Zifa closed the invitation, he asked, "I don't know if the two of you also invited people from the Jiang Guang Gang this time." ”

Baili Pingyun nodded and said, "The two of us are preparing to leave after visiting Hongmen, but what's the matter?"

"It's nothing", Xu Zifa waved his hand, "In fact, this is also something that most people on the rivers and lakes know, Mr. Sun is my eldest brother in Hongmen, so I can sit firmly in Wuchang, but who wants to run out of a member Jiang, born in the Cao Gang, our two gangs are quite incompatible, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will ruin your banquet and ruin your interest." ”

"Where is it", Jiang Zhilan really had a pair of sharp teeth, and I saw her say again: "Brother Xu can come to make us shine, and I will only be a little more interested, how can I sweep away." ”

Xu Zifa shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "If you really have a pair of sharp teeth, you are the daughter of the king of Hades in the Yin Cao Mansion." ”

Jiang Zhilan's eyes rolled, but she bypassed the question and said, "I'm just the deputy leader of the Fish and Dragon Alliance." ”

"You don't have to lie to me, you have already gotten the information, your leader of the Fish and Dragon Alliance is the son of a friend of Qin Zuonan's predecessor, and the deputy leader of the alliance is the daughter of King Yama, the lord of the Yin Cao Mansion, and many of his subordinates are famous righteous people or good hands in the rivers and lakes in Hubei, am I talking about. ”

Jiang Zhilan was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "I knew that Brother Xu understood it clearly, and I didn't have to hide it." ”

Xu Zifa didn't answer, but still shook his head with a smile, obviously a little helpless about Jiang Zhilan's character, or Baili Pingyun said at this time: "Will Deputy Hall Master Xu participate in the banquet of our alliance stationed in Wuchang then?"

"Of course", Xu Zifa patted the table and said: "It's rare to have a good chat with the two, and I will definitely give a big gift." ”

Jiang Zhilan got up when she heard the words and said, "In this way, the alliance leader and I will go back and wait to see what Brother Xu's gift is." ”

Xu Zifa saw that Jiang Zhilan was leaving, so he got up and said, "Won't you two have dinner in my Hongmen before leaving?"

Jiang Zhilan just said a word, but the belly of Baili Pingyun rang, which made Jiang Zhilan very embarrassed, but Xu Zifa smiled dumbly and said: "I see that your alliance leader seems to be a little hungry." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Zhilan turned her head and glared at Baili Pingyun, and then continued: "Thank you Brother Xu for your kindness, my alliance leader just didn't know what to eat in the morning and might spoil his stomach, so there is no need to eat, and we have to deal with other affairs in a hurry." ”

"Then I won't keep you," he said, making a gesture of invitation: "Let me send you two." ”

"So hard-working", Baili Pingyun arched.

In fact, it was not long after leaving Hongmen, but Jiang Zhilan lectured Baili Pingyun, first talking and talking to him, and then finally screaming in his stomach, which seemed very rude, and he heard how aggrieved Baili Pingyun was, how aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice: "That belly is going to scream, and I can't control it." ”

As soon as these words came out, several of the remaining high-level executives in the alliance laughed, and Jiang Zhilan picked up a few invitations and slapped them on Baili Pingyun's head a few times, feeling still angry, and shouted the word "nerd" at the same time.

The two of them were talking here, and their subordinates also prepared a few boxes of gifts, and they were ready to go to Jiang Guang to pay a visit.

Before leaving, Jiang Zhilan was still a little uneasy about Baili Pingyun, just because the Jiang Guang Gang and Hongmen were very different, and the reason was that Hongmen respected the world and sacrificed to the second master, talking about the righteousness of brothers, and the door was mixed up and down, and the brothers were commensurate; There is such a sentence to talk about this Hongmen and Jiang Guang Gang, saying: "The Cao Gang has a line, and Hongmen has a large area." ”

The contradictions between the two gangs existed in the Qing Dynasty, but later they both became the main force to resist the Qing Dynasty, which was much smaller, but there was still constant friction.

Now Jiang Zhilan and Baili Pingyun are going to visit the Jiang Guang Gang is a part of the Cao Gang that has stayed in Wuchang and has not been completely withdrawn, so it is also appropriate to let Baili Pingyun pay attention, lest he say the wrong thing and offend people by doing the wrong thing.
