After seeing the news about Lin Yi, Qian Sheng and Bai Lu immediately cheered up.
I quickly sent @him a message to ask about the situation, but there was no response for a long time.
When you call, the other party is temporarily unreachable, and if you call again, the line is busy.
Don't think about it, it must be Wang Qiang who is making a series of fatal calls.
After a while, Wang Qiang sent a message to the group:
"The signal on his side is very poor, intermittent, and the connection was disconnected after just a few words of conversation. Both of them are fine, so I don't have to wait and go to meet you."
"Very good!"
Qian Sheng and Bai Lu almost shouted.
Even the fifth brother, who was chatting with the big guys in the back room, took the time to send a thumbs up emoticon in the group.
Lin Yi, who had been out of touch for almost a day and night, finally sent back good news.
It boosted the morale of the entire small team.
The stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. Qian Sheng took out a few packets of Huazi from his pocket and began to show off his "social butterfly" skills. After a while, he became very familiar with several hall masters.
Pao Gehui is divided into eight halls: filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trust, propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom,
Among them, the five halls of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust are the most powerful and widely distributed.
Especially the three halls of 'Benevolence, Righteousness, and Li', that is, the three middle-aged people who were invited into the back room for tea by Mr. Chen.
Their current social status is that they are all businessmen, and they rarely show up in public on weekdays.
However, this time it was a gathering of members of their own sect, and it coincided with the competition between the northern and southern factions of the "Kanyu Sect". Mr. Chen personally invited him, and they were happy to be a witness.
In the words of these hall masters, children of Jianghu naturally want to be as close as possible.
Qian Sheng nodded repeatedly, dispersed a circle of smoke, returned to his seat, and stretched out his hand to let Bai Lu come closer.
"Similar to what Fifth Brother said, all the hall masters from top to bottom of the 'Brother Pao Club' are here today. From the Southern Sect, only Zhang Jiren showed up, and the others are now missing.
This is both good news and bad news for us. "
"how to say?"
"Today, between our northern faction and the southern faction, there must be one party who wants to lose his standing in public. He can show his face as much as he wants. Let's wait and see the show."
"Why are you so sure that we are just watching the show? Are you not just watching our jokes?"
"Hey, what you said is that your elbows are still turned outwards. The sir has already spoken, and there is news from Brother Lin. Let us be calm and patient. What do you mean by calm and calm? Isn't that just waiting? Are you laughing at other people’s jokes?”
The two were whispering when they heard someone shouting from behind:
"Shopkeeper Qian, sister of the Bai family, you guys came early enough!"
Even before the person showed his face, he already knew who it was by the meaning of these words.
Qian Sheng turned around, and sure enough, he saw a capable man in formal clothes, with oily hair, and the smell of perfume could be smelled several meters away.
Everything from his face to his beard has been carefully groomed.
At first glance, it gives people the feeling of being a business elite.
This person was Feng Zhennan, one of the eight leaders of the "Kanyu Sect" at that time and the orthodox successor of the Jinling Feng family.
Judging from the appearance, he seems to be similar to Qian Sheng and the others, but in fact he is already thirty years old and has gone straight to Buhuo.
That is to say, if you take good care of yourself on weekdays, you really don’t look old.
The people following behind were all dressed in formal attire. Needless to say, they were Yang Dingyi, a descendant of the Yang family, and Guo Changhong, a descendant of the Guo family.
Several people approached Qian Sheng and the others, and the smell of alcohol hit their faces.
Needless to say, he obviously felt that he would not be happy with the scene tonight, so he had a celebration drink in advance.
Although the two factions are now in a state of confrontation, if they don't hit the smiling man, the scene will still be passable.
Qian Sheng stood up and greeted him with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, please take a seat. There are seats reserved for our 'Bakui' disciples!"
Feng Zhennan couldn't hold back his first words since he came in.
When he came in and called Qian Sheng "Shop Manager Qian" instead of calling him by the name inside the door, he showed that he did not recognize his identity.
As for Bai Lu, she is the true blood heir.
But he didn't want to lose his identity, so he started talking about her age and called her sister, because he couldn't suffer any loss anyway.
The descendants of the Guo family and the Yang family who died after death did not speak Mandarin very well, so it was really difficult to communicate.
Feng Zhennan was their mouthpiece.
Qian Sheng has also seen him before. If the other party is not kind, I will take advantage of him.
It's hard work when we meet, it must be Jianghu.
If you don't take me as a member of the Jianghu, I will follow the rules of the Jianghu myself, and then I will join your army.
Isn’t your Feng family special? Didn’t he withdraw from the ranks of the "Eight Leaders of Kanyu"?
This position was reserved by Mr. Chen for the descendants of "Bakui".
Your Feng family has no friendship with the "Brother Pao Hui", but people recognize you as the "Bakui".
Should you, Feng Zhennan, sit in this position?
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhennan shook hands with Qian Sheng, hugged Bai Lu politely, pulled away the stool, and sat down.
This really echoes what Mr. Bai said, no matter what the Feng family does, they will do whatever it takes, and their family is best at going back on their word.
He understood the meaning behind Qian Sheng's words, and he had to sit in this seat today.
The three of them took their seats one after another, and the other hall masters also took their seats.
Looking up at the watch, it was almost time. The door to the back room opened, and Mr. Chen walked out with the three hall masters, Taoist Zhang, Fifth Brother and his assistants.
Then everyone stood up to their seats one after another, and everyone present also stood up to greet him.
"Please offer incense from the chief helmsman!"
Mr. Chen took the three pillars of fragrance from his assistant, lit them, and offered them to Mr. Guan respectfully.
Then he turned back to his seat, reached for a tea bowl, and said loudly in a Sichuan accent:
"The three immortals used to be Mingwang's family, and the heroes were free and happy everywhere. In the past, the three in the Taoyuan were sworn brothers, and the black ox and the white horse were used as sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Today, my family, Brother Pao, is full of distinguished guests, and the flowers are shining brightly.
As the saying goes, if people are not close to each other, they will be close to each other if they practice the Tao;
Kanyu Bakui's family and my Pao Ge's family are originally from the same family. Today we won't talk to each other. The bachelors (members of the Pao Ge Society call themselves 'bachelors') hold up their cups!
The two dragons playing in the water are full of joy, just like Han Xin visiting Zhang Liang. Brothers come to meet today and discuss this tea for the time being.
I'll do it first out of respect! "
After saying that, Mr. Chen took a sip of tea.
Everyone around him also picked up his tea bowl and took a sip. Mr. Chen waved his hand and smiled again on his face.
"Sit down, sit down, we are all our own people. We will keep everything simple in terms of procedures. The main thing is to welcome these young talents who have come from afar. Lao Wu, you can introduce me to all the brothers and make an introduction."
Fifth Brother stood up and introduced the descendants of the northern and southern Kanyu sects to all the hall masters present.
"Hey, are you missing two people over there?" Mr. Chen asked casually.
Qian Sheng quickly stood up and replied:
"Back to Mr. Chen, my two senior brothers still have some affairs that they haven't taken care of properly, so let us take the first step. I hope you won't be offended."
"Look, the results are about to be announced. I'm still working hard. I'm afraid you will make big news! Come on, bring up the things brought by the brothers from the south."
Mr. Chen directed his subordinates with a smile, brought out a square box from the back room and placed it in front of him.
"Open it!"
With an order, the assistant beside him opened the box. On the red velvet base, there was a square jade seal.
There is also a rubbing stamped on the top of the lid, with five bright red seal characters: Imperial Treasure of the King of the West!
