He Nan stepped forward with a steady and powerful step. He cupped his hands and fisted at Zhao Chenjun and said, "I'm He Nan. I've met Master Zhao." Today he learned a lesson and took the initiative to give his name.
Unexpectedly, he actually scored twice in an embarrassing situation. He listened to the whispers between Zhao Honghu and Chen Longque word for word.
"He said his name was He Nan, not Liu Qingfeng."
"Are you stupid? Your father told you this morning that his name is He Nan."
"Oh...I didn't listen very carefully at the time."
"Besides, Liu Qingfeng is said to be very handsome. Isn't this guy obviously a good person?"
If He Nan hadn't heard what these two people said, or if Xu Baichan hadn't mentioned this issue yesterday, He Nan wouldn't have any mood swings, but everyone was comparing him with Liu Qingfeng - he The main reason for being upset is that everyone thinks Liu Qingfeng is much more handsome than themselves.
He Nan quietly poked Yu Ruyi's arm: "Is Liu Qingfeng handsome?"
Yu Ruyi glanced at He Nan, and she also heard what Zhao Honghu and Chen Longque said: "Well... Brother Liu San is indeed very good-looking."
He Nan asked again: "How about comparing with me? Can he still be as handsome as me?"
Yu Ruyi did not answer He Nan directly this time, but curled her lips. The answer is already obvious - He Nan wanted to compare looks with Liu Qingfeng, which was undoubtedly shameless and self-humiliating.
Zhao Chenjun naturally had everything in view. In order to end this embarrassing situation, he patted He Nan on the shoulder and motioned for everyone to enter the meeting hall, which also meant that they were now going to talk about business.
When it came time to discuss business, Zhao Honghu and Chen Longque stopped whispering to each other. Xu Baichan also lost the old naughty look of yesterday, and his serious expression actually had a fairy-like appearance, while Zhao Chenjun looked like a fairy. Sitting on the main seat of the meeting hall, with a gentle expression, he held two black iron balls in each hand - they looked like kung fu training props.
Everyone was seated, and He Nan, who was sitting in the guest seat, spoke. The content is nothing more than a repetition of what was said to Xiao Kelong and Xu Baichan yesterday, so I won’t go into details here.
"What do you think?" Zhao Chenjun was not in a hurry to express his attitude, but wanted to hear what others had to say first.
In fact, as long as you see the current expressions of everyone, you can get an idea of their attitudes: Although Xiao Kelong's expression is peaceful, he bites his lips lightly, obviously full of distrust of He Nan; Zhao Honghu's face is filled with indignation, and Chen The expressions of Longque and Xu Baichan were similar, both of them were waiting and watching; as for Li Fei - he had no expression at all, as if he was indifferent to this matter.
As expected, it was Zhao Honghu who took the lead and said: "Since Brother He Nan is the sworn brother of the second brother Yan, what he wants to do is also a good thing to eliminate harm for the people. It is just a piece of cake for us. I think it is of course convenient. Please help me." Yan Chunlai was also the second eldest among the Four Frightening Young Masters, and Zhao Honghu, as the fourth eldest, also called him the second brother Yan.
Zhao Honghu has an upright personality and a tough head. It is not surprising that he can say such things. He doesn't care about trivial matters.
After hearing this, Xiao Kelong naturally felt a little uncomfortable: "Brother, don't forget that he is hanging out with the Wei Kui I want to hunt down. If we really help him... it will be very difficult for me."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Honghu said carelessly: "Isn't it because you can't beat them that you didn't catch them? We warriors are all about seeing the truth in our hands. If we are not as good as others, we can only accept defeat?"
Zhao Honghu never spoke with any sense, but in Xiao Kelong's eyes, it was as if his senior brother was beating him up and saying, "You are a disciple of the Jinghong Sect first, and an official of the imperial court secondly." However, Xiao Kelong still regarded himself as a member of the Jinghong Sect rather than a soldier of the imperial court, even though his father was the top official in Luoyan County.
"Hong'er is right. What do you think, Elder Baichan?" Although Zhao Chenjun praised Zhao Honghu and nodded, looking at his solemn expression, he was probably looking forward to Xu Baichan's speech. .
Although Xu Baichan is older than Zhao Chenjun, he is younger. The word "Uncle Master" is really difficult for an old man of his age to say, so he uses the title of head instead: "Back to the head, old man." I think what Hong'er said is right, but it would be inappropriate for Long'er to be biased against him. What's more, although killing the bandits is harmless to us, it is also of no benefit. What if something goes wrong? Don’t you want me to wait until my face becomes dull?”
Xu Baichan, an old man, said a lot of pretentious words, and said that Zhao Honghu was right, and that Xiao Kelong was also reasonable. Then he objectively stated the interests and harms, and in the end he didn't say anything. Two, three, four, five - Zhao Chenjun wanted Xu Baichan to make a decision on whether to help or not, but Xu Baichan also threw the blame away.
He Nan also expected that Xu Baichan, as Yan Chunlai's master, could stand on his side and have the final say. He drank the tea and played with the knife, and in the end he was treated as a "reasonable guest" "ah? He Nan looked at Xu Baichan angrily, hoping that he could give him an explanation. Unexpectedly, Xu Baichan looked as if she hadn't seen him, and continued to pour the tea in her hand.
Zhao Chenjun nodded. Although Elder Bai Chan did not give a conclusion, his words were still very valuable. The leader followed his words: "Master He's request is also important to us. It’s not a difficult task, but I don’t know what our Jinghong Sect can get out of it?”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Honghu was very dissatisfied with his own father: "Brother He is the brother of the second brother Yan, so what's wrong with helping? Do you still have to ask others to give us things?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Zhao Chenjun does. If he is a lone ranger, he can help if he wants to. However, his current identity is the leader of Jinghong Sect, and every move, word and deed represents Jinghong. Of course, the big name of Hongpai cannot be as motivated as his own son. What's more, everything he does as the leader must be based on the interests of the entire sect, not for one person.
In other words, even if his own son Zhao Honghu wanted to mobilize the entire sect to help him today, Xu Baichan would have to summon people to discuss it together - selfless and clear-cut between black and white, which is why he can use the qualifications of a middle-aged man to help him. Sit firmly in the position of leader.
Seeing Zhao Chenjun's attitude, He Nan knew that the success of today's matter would all depend on whether the conditions he gave could impress the leader: "Compared with the conditions that can impress the entire Jinghong Sect, I told Brother Xiao before Those conditions are nothing, but my words of congratulations are hard to catch up with, and those conditions are also counted."
"The extermination of the bandits was originally not my responsibility, but they took the initiative to provoke me. I also made a temporary plan to lure the bandit leader out, just to capture the bandits and capture them all. If you can help me with this plan, , I will give you all the gold and silver in the bandit's stronghold after the event is completed." He Nan said loudly.
Zhao Chenjun heard He Nan's words and did not rush to refute, but he laughed softly and said: "Mr. He's remarks may mean that we, the Jinghong Sect, are also regarded as a gang of thieves."
Unexpectedly, He Nan also laughed after hearing Zhao Chenjun's sarcasm: "No...if the Jinghong Sect wants to be among the best in the world, just relying on martial arts skills is far from enough..."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chenjun suddenly became a little alert. Who would have thought that the topic of He Nan would change to the development of their sect?
"What I mean is that if the Jinghong Sect wants to take its power further, martial arts is no longer important. Money, connections, resources, harsh entry requirements...these are all things that the Jinghong Sect is lacking, and some of them are old. The rules simply restrict the development of the sect..." He Nan's words can no longer be said to be stroking the tiger's beard, but simply to poke the tiger's butt...
The "entry conditions" of course refer to the rule that members of the Jinghong Sect must use dual-wielding weapons. This is the foundation of the Jinghong Sect, but He Nan denigrated it and even called it rubbish. Even Zhao Honghu, who had just spoken to He Nan, glared at him and shouted, "What do you mean, kid?"
"Don't worry, let him finish." Zhao Chenjun stretched out his hand to signal his son not to interrupt him. Even though he himself was furious, he still maintained his dignity.
"I don't mean to belittle you or even the sect. I just want to explain that the Jinghong Sect is subject to some subjective restrictions, and these restrictions are obviously unchangeable... In this case, if we want to strengthen the sect, we must find another way." He Nan spoke eloquently, "I remember that after the Young Heroes meeting next year, there will be a re-election of the leader of the martial arts alliance, right?"
"You..." Zhao Chenjun's breathing became visibly faster, and he had already guessed what He Nan was going to say next.
The full name of the Young Heroes Conference is the "Junior Heroes Conference", which is held every five years. Rookies and outstanding talents from all over the world are aiming to become famous in this event, and their sects also hope for these outstanding juniors. They add glory to the sect.
The election of the martial arts leader, the "World Heroes Meeting", is a grand gathering of martial arts held every ten years. Except for the three sects who look down on it and are unwilling to participate, all the forces in the world attach great importance to it - after all, the Young Heroes Association only represents The distant future, but the name of the leader of the martial arts alliance is right before our eyes. Although the upper three sects do not participate in the competition for the leader of the martial arts alliance, they must be invited to serve as notarizers every time the leader of the martial arts alliance is re-elected.
Whoever is the leader of the martial arts alliance controls most of the forces in the world. "No one dares to disobey the orders given to the world" is not just an empty slogan. The power of the martial arts leader is not as great as you think, but it is also not as small as you think.
"I have also done some research and found that the leaders of the martial arts alliance in recent years have all come from the Middle Fourth Sect and the Lower Second Sect. The Beggar Clan has been the leader for three terms, and the Sihai Clan has been the leader for two consecutive terms. Even the Strictly Come Even the Evernight Villa, who is not considered a member of the martial arts world, had a share of the pie...Hasn’t Master Zhao thought about the reason?" He Nan looked at Zhao Chenjun, but he did not give the other party time to answer, but used He continued in an extremely seductive tone: "Because they have money and connections... Not to mention the Sihai Gang and Evernight Villa, shipping and private salt are all industries that make huge profits, and Evernight Villa runs the world by relying on They are also doing business. As for the Beggar Gang, I think as a member of the martial arts community, Master Zhao, you know better than I do whether the Beggar Gang is a group of poor beggars or..."
"What I want is very simple - you need a lot of money to consolidate your power. I only need to recruit those hozens who have no reliable trees. Your Jinghong sect has very strict standards for selecting people, but I don't have them here. So much to say.”
"If we can really achieve our goals and gain something this time, when the Young Heroes Association and the Martial Arts Heroes Association come next year, He Nan will definitely help everyone from the Jinghong Sect." In the calm meeting hall, Madman He's words were resounding.
Zhao Chenjun couldn't bear it anymore. Although what the young man in front of him said was simply fantasy and nonsense, there was always a strange feeling attracting him. He waved gently to He Nan, then took Xu Baichan with him, and led the two of them out of the meeting hall without looking back, leaving only a few young people sitting there, looking at each other. .
