After hearing Xu Tianhong's impassioned and impassioned speech, Hu Long clasped his hands and smiled and said: "The words of Xu Qi, the leader of the family, exactly express the feelings of a poor man. Now the Qing Dynasty is like a house fire, and it is a hero." When there is something to be done.
"We both have the same ambitions, and we should join hands to achieve great things. Personally speaking, Pindao not only has no objection to this, but also supports it with both hands raised!"
Hearing Hu Yuan's words, Zhou Qideng, who was originally angry at the side, felt relieved and thought: "Although this little Taoist priest is not understanding of the world, he still understands the righteousness. See how he readily agreed to this matter. My aunt no longer cares about his previous rudeness..."
However, Xu Tianhong heard some unfinished meaning from the sentence "Personally speaking", and his eyes that shone with agility couldn't help but condense slightly.
"However," as expected, Hu Yuan immediately showed some hesitation on his face and changed the subject, "This is a serious matter, and even though I am very willing to do so in my heart, I still have to take the liberty to ask - —The 'Red Flower Club' and the 'Tiandi Club' each have tens of thousands of members, but they can't just say 'work together' to achieve seamless cooperation. They have to negotiate a detailed charter."
Xu Tianhong remained calm on his face, but secretly he was very energetic and asked with a smile: "Master Hu, Young Helmsman, has a great opinion. This is indeed the case. But I wonder if Young Helmsman already has some opinions in his mind?"
Hu Long remained calm and said with a smile: "It's nothing to do with other things. It's just that as the saying goes, 'A man can't leave without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head.'" Since we both want to cooperate, we should always make a distinction between master and slave. . Otherwise, if everyone has different opinions on something in the future and can't argue with each other, it will not only harm the sense of loyalty, but also make it easier to miss important events!"
When Zhou Qi heard this, her pretty face that had just shown a happy face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost. She could no longer restrain her fiery temper. She took a picture of it on the tables beside her and let out a loud roar. There was a loud noise, and he yelled with angry eyes:
"You little brat, our 'Red Flower Club' came to discuss the alliance out of a common sense and sincerity. But you opened your mouth to emphasize the 'difference between master and slave' first. Could it be that you covet our 'Red Flower Club' , want to annex in the name of cooperation?"
"I can't afford what Master Zhou said." Hu Yuan, however, remained calm and said calmly, "Your association's proposal to form an alliance is out of public interest, and I asked myself that there was no selfish intention in what I just said." . What's more, all the heads of the 'Honghua Club' are all heroes, and the heroes of the congregation are not inferior to me, the 'Tiandihui'. If Head Zhou said that Pindao has the intention of coveting and annexing, he not only looks down on Pindao, but also underestimates him. Guild yourselves!”
Zhou Qi was not an eloquent person at first, so she was speechless by his few words at that time. Although she still felt that something was wrong in her heart, she could not say anything to refute.
In this moment, Xu Tianhong had thousands of thoughts running through his mind. Finally, he sighed silently and said: "Master Hu Shaoduo's words are indeed reasonable, but if you want to determine the difference between master and slave, you need to I want both of you to be convinced, otherwise it will still be easy to cause chaos. Xu is stupid and can't think of a proper way at the moment. I wonder if the young helmsman can teach me?"
As the think tank of the "Red Flower Club", since he mentioned the alliance, he was also considering the master-slave distinction between the two parties, but he just wanted to leave it to the future to figure it out.
In his plan, as long as the cooperation between the two parties continues to deepen, he can always use various means to gradually integrate the two forces. As for who will take the lead in the end, he, "Wu Zhuge", is somewhat confident. .
It's just that things didn't seem to develop as he expected. The seemingly kind-hearted young Taoist priest opposite him only listened to his intention to cooperate, but he agreed as if it was in his heart. He even directly mentioned the issue of dominance after the cooperation between the two parties. , although it showed the ambition that a young man should have, but he vaguely felt that the reason why the other party took the initiative to mention this matter seemed to hide the matching confidence behind the ambition.
Xu Tianhong didn't know where the other party's confidence came from, but they had already put the matter on the table. If he continued to make excuses and delay, he would first be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. It's better to go with the flow and take advantage of the situation and see how the other party will move.
This was what Hu Long was waiting for, and he immediately spoke eloquently: "Pindao heard that Marshal Fukang Anfu of the Qing Dynasty was going to hold some kind of 'world leaders' conference, and his intentions were quite interesting. Your association has been dormant for more than ten years, and you will not sit back and watch the Qing government take the opportunity to incite martial arts heroes to kill each other, or recruit martial arts scum for your own use. You are bound to mess with them. Even a poor man with no talent will try to do this. It’s a lively plan. After we meet in the capital, how about we follow the rules of the martial arts and select masters to compete with their friends in martial arts, and judge the winner based on their martial arts skills?"
While speaking, he was extremely grateful for the "innocent" thinking of the leaders of the "Red Flower Club" who were accustomed to treating themselves as "people of the world." Otherwise, I really don’t have the courage to say this almost childish suggestion.
Xu Tianhong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Da Furniture is a martial artist. After all, he has to rely on his skills. This method of the young rudder is fair. But I don't know how many rounds should this competition be divided into?"
Hu Long said with a smile: "Since Pindao proposed the martial arts competition, Master Xu should make the final decision on the specific rules."
"That's fine." Xu Tianhong would not be humble in such a big matter. He agreed readily at first, then pondered for a while, and in a moment he was confident and said calmly, "Although this competition is only between you and me, it shouldn't be It depends on the number of the 'World Leaders' Conference. In order to make it more lively, we might as well try a few more competitions, how about taking the best number and limit it to nine?"
He did not just report the numbers casually, but quickly weighed the pros and cons.
There are many masters in the "Red Flower Club". Originally, the chief helmsman Chen Jialuo, the "Soul-Chasing Life-Destroying Sword" Wuchen Taoist, the "Thousand-Handed Tathagata" Zhao Banshan, and the "Thunder Hand" Wen Tailai have reached the state of martial arts. The ultimate master. Yu Zhenhai, the son of the old helmsman, has made rapid progress in martial arts since becoming a disciple of Taoist Baimei, a famous Wudang master. In recent years, he has gradually reached the peak. "Black and white impermanence" brothers Chang Hezhi and Chang Bozhi are accustomed to joining forces, and together they can be among the best in the world.
The "Tiandihui" has been in decline for a long time. Although it has shown signs of revival in recent years, it may not be able to recruit comparable masters.
Since one's own side has the upper hand in terms of the number of masters, having more competitions can not only ensure one's own winning rate, but also give the opponent some face by giving up a few battles.
Hu Long, however, seemed unaware of the opponent's plan and stretched out a fair, fleshy right palm without hesitation: "Okay, we'll limit it to nine games, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Xu Tianhong also stretched out his right palm and struck the opponent three times, which finally settled the matter.
Before this trip, Chen Jialuo had given him the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises. Therefore, as the seventh head of the "Red Flower Club", he made a bet with Hu Yuan that was related to the future of the two families. It was not considered an arrogance of power.
After high-fiving and swearing an oath, Hu Long laughed and said, "We were talking about official business, but now it's time to talk about personal friendship. My nephew, Hu Long, pays homage to Senior Aunt Zhou and Uncle Xu."
As he said this, he bowed to the ground in front of Xu Tianhong and Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi was dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with this nephew who was finally willing to call her "Senior Aunt".
Xu Tianhong sighed in his heart again, secretly thinking that the Taoist priest in front of him did not have the scheming and methods of a twenty-year-old young man at all. From this point of view, the rumors that the "Heaven and Earth Society" were revived because of the Young Helmsman may not be just rumors...
