In addition, on the thirty-six golden chairs, the Malaysian golden knife is also sitting on some old people who are old and have gray hair, but although these people are not young, they have passed the age of being brave and ruthless, but all of them are full of spirit and restraint, their temples are towering, and their gestures are full of momentum. 【Reading.com】

Obviously, they are all the bigwigs of the Hongmen General Association in the middle of the court.

Hongmen is a time-honored gang organization, the upper and lower halls are tightly organized, although it has begun to gradually whitewash for more than ten years, and there are many huge legitimate businesses around the world, but the gang atmosphere in the bones still cannot be completely eradicated. As far as the ranking of seniority and the ranking of the 36 golden chairs is concerned, it follows the ancient rites, and there are many exquisitenesses, and it is by no means that whoever wants to do which position wants to sit.

In the old society, fighting for seats, that is, fighting for status, was like one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan in the Water Margin, and the righteous hall also had to be divided into different categories and clear positions. The slightest overstep, one is not good, but it is going to kill people.

At this time, outside the elegant water pavilion, there were crowds, in addition to the big guys sitting on the thirty-six chairs in front, there were also many young people with fierce expressions and cold faces in the back. Some of these people wear suits and leather shoes, wear glasses and dress like white-collar elites in the city, and some are fierce, with "dragons and phoenixes" on their arms, a murderous aura, and a ...... with a big red silk belt tied around their waists.

Obviously, this is a large collection of the young generation and all the leading figures in the Hongmen.

Outside the water pavilion, there were a total of 136 people sitting or standing. And in addition to this, in addition to the Hongmen people, there are two or three people wearing snow-white kimonos.

As for the water pavilion, it is completely hidden under the shadow of a touch of sunlight, and the cigarette smoke is swirling inside, which seems to be dedicated to some god and Buddha shrine, and when you look into it from the outside, you can only vaguely see that there seems to be a figure inside, sitting cross-legged on a futon like a wood carving clay sculpture.

"Mr. Situ, this Sino-Russian military exercise has become imperative. It has been learned that the Russian side has secretly dispatched back a special Vympel squad that is carrying out anti-terrorism missions in the Middle East all year round, and the Chinese side has also sent a well-known 'wolf's tooth' to dispatch the most advanced armed combat helicopters and three military satellites to cover the entire Siberian region, and even use the bomber formations of the Russian coastal fleet to carry out 'sniping' missions when necessary. It stands to reason that with such a powerful armed force, it is even possible to forcibly overthrow a political axe on the African continent, but as we all know, the forest cover area of Siberia is too large, as soon as people enter the forest, the satellite above our heads will fail, and that Wang Chan has lived in China's Xing'an Mountains since he was a child, and is extremely familiar with mountain and forest warfare, and it is difficult for the special forces of China and Russia to pose a sufficient threat to him in that situation. Therefore, in this case, it is necessary for us, the real fighting masters, to come forward, enter the forest, and force him step by step to the predetermined area of the exercise! To this end, our Sato family has united several major families in China, seconded dozens of masters in the art of war, and also selected a large number of masters who had served in the Korean side in the Korean Taekwondo Federation to form a hunting team. ”

"In addition, I also know that your organization also has a great hatred with this Wang Chan, so I sincerely hope that Mr. Situ can send his capable men to participate in this operation. And according to the latest information I have received so far, the Russian military has secretly contacted the Siberian training camp, and as the only landlord in the Siberian Forest, a large number of black fighters will also participate in this hunt. ”

A seated straight man said himself, his mouth emitting a series of fluent Chinese, and he spoke eloquently to a middle-aged man in his fifties with a frosty face at the front of the crowd, and his words were full of a taste of agitation and incitement.

"Sato, this Sino-Russian military exercise was strongly funded by you and the Korean Taekwondo Association behind the scenes, but now the situation has begun to gradually deviate from your expectations. Now that you have come to cooperate with our Hongmen, you probably know how powerful that Wang Chan is, right? I heard that Wang Chan has already practiced the art of sword immortals, can breathe sword qi from his mouth, kill people invisibly from miles away, and his fist and martial arts are also tough, are you so sure that he will be put to death through this military exercise? As far as I know, since this Wang Chan debuted, there have been no less than dozens of first-rate masters who have died in his hands, and almost the sky has been pierced into a hole, and all the elders of our Hongmen Tang Jieshou have died in his hands, although your Sato family is also considered to be in the same door as Tang Chang, but you don't have the kindness to avenge them, right? Moreover, I also got the exact news, for Wang Chan, it is not the Lin family who says that the country is not up to him, many military bigwigs are very optimistic about him and have the intention to save him, so you are so sure that this Sino-Russian military exercise, the Chinese army will do its best to hunt down and kill their compatriots?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the front position, his gloomy eyes kept sweeping over the three people who were kneeling in front of him, and the words in his mouth poured out like flowing water, and his words were very sharp.

"Sato, if you want to go around and recruit masters to deal with that Wang Chan, you should spend a huge amount of money to find a large number of super killers to help you. Although Wang Chan has some grudges with us, we are all Chinese, and if we want to take revenge, Hongmen will naturally do it ourselves. Your operation has nothing to do with us in any way. The middle-aged man known as Mr. Situ looked coldly at the person who spoke, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

This person is called Sato Shinnosuke, and he is one of the external liaison representatives of the Sato family faction in Honolulu, and it is said that the background is very complicated, and it seems that he has some relationship with the famous Yamaguchi-gumi in the country.

Almost all overseas Chinese who are overseas have some degree of disgust in their hearts. In particular, a large Chinese organization such as the Hongmen General Association, from the Qing Dynasty to the present, has been fighting in the west for hundreds of years, and during the Republic of China, it fought openly and secretly with the Black Dragon Society supported by the military. can be regarded as a national hatred and family hatred, and it is always remembered in my heart. Moreover, the Hongmen will always follow the ancient etiquette, and the leading tycoons in power have personally experienced that war-torn era, and under the words and deeds, they have made the Hongmen even more hateful to him.

However, in the past decade or so, the post-war economy has developed rapidly and the national strength has become strong, and Hongmen has gradually deliberately washed its name ashore, and many disputes will not be resolved only by violence as in the past. There have also been many economic exchanges between the two sides, of course, this is also the need of the development of the times, and it is a kind of "change" that cannot be transferred by personal will.

For example, this time, Sato Shinnosuke took the family mission to invite the Hongmen Association to come forward and deal with Wang Chan with them, which was basically impossible to happen more than ten years ago. I'm afraid that before I get close to the gate of Hongmen, I will already be put in a sack and thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

"Regarding this matter, I hope that Mr. Situ will not be busy making a decision first, after all, Hongmen is too big, and we still need to listen to the opinions of others before making a decision that is most in the interests of both of us. In addition, before this decision is made, I would like to show you our sincerity, as long as you can participate in the war, our Karate Association and the Korean Taekwondo Association will give up 20% of the world market to you Hongmen martial arts gym. In the future, as long as there is a Chinese gathering area in Chinatown, karate and taekwondo dojos will all withdraw from the competition! This is also a huge profit of more than a billion dollars a year!"

"You gave up such a large piece of market share, just to kill that Wang Chan, don't you think it's worth the loss?" A look of surprise flashed on the middle-aged man's face, obviously what Sato Shinnosuke said just now, which also moved him.

You know, after World War II, karate and taekwondo were commercialized by the political axes of the two countries and achieved great success, and now they have basically covered every country in the world, with countless practitioners, and the annual benefits are unimaginably astronomical. At this point, the promotion of Chinese martial arts is much inferior, Hongmen will always move overseas in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, and the first market to start contact is also the Chinese martial arts industry, naturally knowing how much wealth it contains. Now the Sato family has given up 20% of the entire market share in one bite, and they also patted their chests to ensure that they will not intervene in the Chinese market around the world in the future, which is really a big benefit for Hongmen.

"Of course, there is a need to discuss, but as far as I am concerned, how much wealth you give up has nothing to do with this matter, at least our Situ family will be strictly neutral and will definitely not get involved in this matter. This middle-aged man's words revealed an indescribable majesty, even in the face of great wealth, he smiled and did not think so.

"This is the chief of the Special Affairs Section under the Ministry of National Defense, who is responsible for the investigation and research of all unnatural things, and is now doing academic exchange activities with the American Research Group on Life Sciences and Human Potential Development. He was very interested in the legendary Chinese Qigong and Dan Dao, and when he heard that Wang Chan could spray flying swords, he specially applied for a research project in China. Therefore, although the cost of promoting the Sino-Russian military exercise this time is huge, as long as we can study something in Wang Chan and unlock the secrets of the Chinese immortals, then everything is worth it. Of course, we in the Sato family have strong support. ”

Sato Shinnosuke suddenly pointed to a person beside him who was also straight, but his hair was already a little gray, and he said that he solemnly introduced it to the Hongmen people present.

"Are you kidding? You people always like to study everything, what unnatural things are investigated, special functions, biochemical genes? Do you really think that you can analyze what is going on with the legendary gods through the existing means? Now you want to catch that Wang Chan and study it in slices, it's really whimsical, I have to say that you guys are crazy. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Situ knows clearly in his heart, saying that he has a lot of money, and now he is following the ass of the Americans as a follower, learning everything from the Americans, and wanting to study everything. From alien UFOs, to genetic cloning, biochemical viruses, and even legendary ghosts, Taoist magic, Buddhist relics, and all the supernatural phenomena that are currently unexplained. As a result, a large amount of research funds are always thrown away, and the valuable results obtained are very little, almost nothing. Therefore, he did not deny the seemingly absurd and crazy idea proposed by Sato Shinnosuke at once, but sneered at it in his heart.

Wang Chan's kind of murderer, if someone can be pulled to the operating table to dissect the slices, it would be really strange!

However, he can't really refuse the opinions he put forward by Shinnosuke Sato.

After all, the Hongmen Association is not a hall of his Situ family, and the thirty-six bigwigs from all parties are not monolithic, and it is normal to have disputes about this matter.

Soon after, the three of them left the hilltop villa. The huge interests also began to attract enough attention from the Hongmen General Association, and throughout the afternoon, the bigwigs of all parties argued endlessly and expressed their opinions.

So, after nightfall, the bright moon like a disc hung high on the sea, and the infinite silver light reflected in the water near and far, a piece of silver white.

Just in front of the water pavilion that was arguing during the day, the middle-aged man stood respectfully on the covered bridge, looking intently at the little incense in the water pavilion. His expression was full of solemnity and solemnity, just like a believer bowing in front of the Buddha.

"Situ, what do you think of the daytime events? Also, how do you plan to negotiate with that Wang Chan about the matter of Xiao Tang's ancestors and grandchildren? This matter seems to be getting bigger and bigger now, this Sino-Russian military exercise, dispatching troops, equipped with weapons with large firepower, just to deal with an imaginary enemy, is not as simple as it seems, you first send someone to check the domestic movements!"

I don't know how long later, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, there was silence all around, and occasionally there were a few cicadas and frogs, and at this time, two bright lights suddenly flashed in the water pavilion, and then Shi Shiran walked out of an old man from inside. This old man is lean, only wearing a simple dress, his face is ruddy, his hair is white, his eyebrows are also snow-white, his spirit is introverted, he is wearing a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles under his feet, and he walks like the most familiar grandfather in the neighborhood, with a long life, strong and strong, and the breath on his body is natural and fresh, without a little old taste.

However, this old man, just step by step out of the water pavilion, the moonlight above his head seemed to be moving with his footsteps, step by step, the whole person was shrouded in a clear light at all times, silver hair and white eyebrows, moonlight like water, it was incomparably harmonious and unified. That middle-aged man was one of the leading figures in this generation of Hongmen, with great power in his hands, and his family power was extremely powerful, and he was already respectful when he had never seen this old man, but now when he saw this old man walking out of the water pavilion, a look of irrepressible excitement suddenly appeared on his face.

His knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud, first kowtowed, and then stood up and shouted in a low voice, "Ancestor!"

This old man turned out to be the ancestor of the Hongmen Association!

"Well, I don't plan to participate in this incident, I say that my surname is cunning, like an embarrassment, although I promise heavy profits, I can't easily believe it. The grudge between us and Wang Chan is resolved by ourselves, and cooperating with Yu himself is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. To put it bluntly, they didn't take a fancy to the strength of our Hongmen and wanted us to be cannon fodder. Besides, the water in here is too deep, we are not in the country now, and we can't afford to wade into this muddy water, and when the time comes, we will set ourselves on fire."

While saying this, Situ followed the old man a step or two away, walking slowly along the nine-curved corridor on the lake.

"That's right, but things can't be done too stiffly. Hongmen is a big family, and when people's hearts are always uneven, at such times, we must tactfully do it and take care of the interests of the majority of people, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered, and everything will be chaotic. You can't always come according to your surname, you have to make trade-offs. However, I'm very interested in that Wang Chan!"

"I heard that Ye Tianshi has died in his hands, Long Laodao has gone to Russia to take revenge, and that Xu Changchun of Shaolin Zen Buddhism can't stand it!

The ancestor of Hongmen said to himself, and with a slight kick, a small pebble on the corridor suddenly flew out lightly, slowly, as if losing all its weight, like a feather, gently skimming the water, hitting one splash after another, until it flew into the farthest darkness, then there was a faint sound of water, and it fell into the lake with all its strength.

"I seem to be somewhat familiar with the things on this person's profile, as if there was such a person a long time ago, invulnerable and fierce....... By the way, it seems that Wang Daliangzi, who used to crisscross the white mountains and black waters outside the pass, was hated by himself, and he also practiced a very weird Thirteen Taibao horizontal kung fu back then, and the bullets rained in and out, and even his own cannon couldn't kill him!!"

"King of Kanto?" Situ frowned, a little unsure of the name.

"Yes, it's him, it's been a hundred and eighty years now, I didn't expect him to be able to teach such a successor. This Wang Daliangzi has a lot of ability, but he has always been unruly, and he dares to do anything, not only rejected Chiang Kai-shek Zhang Xueliang's recruitment, but also did not take GCD in his eyes, and acted only according to likes and dislikes, otherwise depending on the things he did, when the country was opened, there would be a place for him in [***]. This man is a strange man! I once met him in Hulin by the Ussuri River, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to fight, so I made a mistake. Since this Wang Chan is his successor, then I will return to China and meet him. ”
