After saying goodbye to his parents, Hu Yuan quietly left Chenghai County when the sky was still dark. He chose a remote path and used Qinggong to move quickly along the way.
When a red sun slowly rose from the horizon at the end of the sight, he was already outside Chaoyang County, seventy or eighty miles away from Chenghai.
Seeing that the sky was getting bright, Hu Long was not in a hurry to enter the city. He found a breakfast stall in a village outside the city, ordered something and ate slowly.
At the end of the morning, he paid Shi Shiran and went on the road. He mixed in with the increasing number of scholars, peasants, industrialists, merchants, traders and foot soldiers on the road, and entered the city gate unhurriedly.
He walked through the streets and alleys in the city, paying attention to observe that there was nothing suspicious behind him, so he turned into a remote and narrow alley, stopped in front of the door of a house in the innermost house, and tapped three times on the door panel with his fingers, one long and two long. short.
After a few breaths, half of the door moved, opening a gap of more than a foot wide inward. A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old poked his head out and saw Hu Long in front of the door. A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He was waiting for the door to open. He opened his mouth to speak, but Hu Long waved his hand to stop him.
The young man woke up immediately and hurriedly closed his mouth tightly, opened the door and invited Hu Long inside.
When the two of them arrived in the yard, the young man finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He couldn't wait to stop Hu Yuan with his arms crossed, and said with an expectant look on his face: "Master, you said two years ago that when we meet again, you will promise to take care of me." I am transferred from the 'yellow' character group to the 'di' character group. I promise you a lot of money as a man, but you can't go back on it!"
Hu Long laughed, and suddenly reached out his right palm and pressed his left shoulder lightly.
The young man immediately felt an overwhelming force coming from him. In a flash of thought, he guessed that Hu Yuan was going to test the depth of his kung fu. He hurriedly lost his temper and raised a stake in his Dantian. His feet were as dead as two wooden stakes hammered into the ground. Stuck in place.
Although he was young, he had learned martial arts from a young age, and his kung fu was already quite mature. Although his upper body was leaning back, his feet did not move even half an inch, and he was actually able to resist Hu Long's push.
Following Hu Long's smiling palm, the young man straightened his upper body that was leaning back. Just as he was about to speak with a smile, he suddenly felt a second force of gravity coming out of thin air on his shoulders. This time, he could no longer resist, and he couldn't help but leap backwards. He took three big steps back, his body swayed and he was about to fall down.
In a hurry, he suddenly thought of the trick he had just learned from the guest, and without thinking, he adjusted his breath and luck, sat on the horse with his waist down, and his feet seemed to be weighed down by a thousand pounds. Then he finally regained his balance, but his face had already changed. flushed.
Until this moment, he didn't know that Hu Long's casual push contained long-term stamina. It would only explode again when his old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been regenerated and his mind was relaxed. It is truly amazing to be able to use your palm power to such an extent.
Just when the young man was amazed and frustrated at the same time, thinking that he had not mastered Kung Fu after all and failed to meet the requirements of the young helmsman, Hu Long smiled and reached out his palm again and patted the opponent's back of the head gently. remember:
"Good boy, Pindao's palm just now used 30% of his inner strength, and he also concealed two more weights of strength. If you can hold on without falling onto your back, this is already a good performance.
"Especially because you are able to adapt to circumstances and respond to sudden changes in a timely manner with the newly learned Northern Shaolin Zhuang Kung Fu 'Thousand Jin Plunge', it shows that you are not stupid at all. In this case, Pindao will fulfill your youthful ambition!"
"Thank you, Master!" The young man was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express his thanks in all seriousness.
This young man's name is Zhang Shan. He was originally the orphan of a martyr who died in the association. He was absorbed into the "Qilin Hall" by Hu Long when he was young and was trained.
In the past few years, because he was still young, he had been in the "Yellow" group of the four groups of "Qilintang" - Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang - who was responsible for providing support and support, but he had always wanted to join the "Di" group. Becoming a true warrior is finally what you want.
Seeing his cheerful smile and excitement, Hu Long warned him: "Xiaoshanzi, as a monk, you have to hit the clock all day long. Don't just worry about your future and miss the errand in front of you. That poor Taoist will have to start all over again." Thinking about how to arrange you!"
Zhang Shan was startled and hurriedly followed the smiling face to lead the way, leading Hu Long all the way to the living room.
There was already a man and a woman standing side by side in front of the living room door waiting for him.
The man was in his thirties, short in stature and not impressive in appearance. Only his eyes were lively and full of energy, which showed something extraordinary.
The woman is about the same age as her, but she has a pretty face and graceful figure. Although her complexion is slightly dark, she is still a rather outstanding beauty.
Hu Long immediately took a few steps forward, bowed his head in front of the man and woman, and said with a deep salute: "The Blessed Immortal Lord, Hu Long, a poor Taoist, has met these two masters!"
This couple is naturally the seventh leader of the Red Flower Society, "Wu Zhuge" Xu Tianhong and his wife "Qiao Li Kui" Zhou Qi.
When she heard that Hu Yuan called himself a "poor man" and called himself "two heads of the family", but completely put aside the friendship between his parents, Zhou Qi's expression suddenly changed, her eyebrows raised, and she was about to explode.
Fortunately, Xu Tianhong was a very knowledgeable man. When he saw Hu Yuan meeting each other with courteous etiquette, he knew that he wanted to put business first before talking about personal friendship. He waited until business was discussed before talking about personal friendship. This is how he is doing something important. He hurriedly used his hands lightly. He gave his wife a little tug, then stepped forward with a smile, cupped her hands and returned the greeting:
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I heard that Master Hu made a big splash when he first came out of his career. He single-handedly destroyed the 'Five Tiger Clan', the evil culprit in Lingnan. Xu felt great admiration in his heart. How lucky he is to see his face today!"
What Hu Long did in Foshan happened not long ago. Xu Tianhong had not only heard about it, but was also able to take action on him. This shows that the "Honghua Society" secretly has widespread tentacles and is well-informed.
"Mr. Xu is overly praised, and the poor Taoist is ashamed!"
Hu Long's expression remained unchanged, he said a humble word, and then invited the couple indoors to talk in detail.
The two parties sat down separately, and after Zhang Shan offered tea, Hu Long saluted again, with a slight apology on his face: "The two masters are here, and my father should have come to meet him in person, but something happened and he couldn't be separated, so I ordered this poor man to do it for me." Reception, please forgive me."
Zhou Qi was still angry, but although she had an upright and fiery temperament, she would only quarrel and quarrel with her husband over trivial matters. Whenever major events came about, she would always follow her husband's lead.
At this moment, when she saw her husband and Hu Yanyan laughing at each other, she also held back her breath and did not have an attack. She sat beside him without saying a word, while her husband negotiated with the other party.
After everyone had finished their greetings, Xu Tianhong saw that Hu Long, a young man, had a lot of troubles in his heart, so he simply said straight to the point:
"Young Captain, Mr. Xu came to see Mr. Hu this time because he has something important to discuss. A few days ago, a brother of our association returned from overseas trade and learned that your association has been quietly operating in Nanyang. The thoughts and methods of Zhudao’s management of such a huge force are truly astonishing.”
Hu Long listened to the other party's talk about breaking the "Tiandi Hui"'s plan that had been planned for several years, but his face was still unmoved - with the continuous expansion of overseas power, he had expected the news to be leaked.
Xu Tianhong secretly observed the other person's expression while speaking. Seeing that his expression was always calm and calm, he secretly praised in his heart that "young people are formidable" and continued:
"Our association has had several confrontations with the Qing court since then. Although we have made some achievements, we are ultimately unable to defeat the Qing court's power and have to hide and avoid it.
"Now that Qianlong has been in power for a long time, he is increasingly indulging in pleasure, attracting virtuous people from far away and close to sycophants, and he is quite dim-witted. This is the time when the younger generation of anti-Qing people can make great achievements.
"The 'Honghua Society' and the 'Tiandi Society' both uphold the ambition of overturning the world and rebuilding the universe, and it is right that they should work together to support righteousness.
"Therefore, our association, Chief Steward Chen, has sent Mr. Xu and his wife here to conspire with your association. I wonder what the young helmsman's plan is?"
