Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Hangzhou Giant Whale Gang unveiled its brand to welcome guests, and there were many congratulatory guests.

Dong Ping, the former right protector of Lianhuanwu, the "Eight-Armed Vajra", was dressed in a festive golden-red robe today, his face glowing red as he shuttled among the banquets in the atrium, greeting heroes from all walks of life.

This person has a horse face and is more than seven feet tall. His body is as muscular as if it were made of molten iron, especially his pair of knee-length arms that are eye-catching. He looks like a silverback gorilla when he walks!

While the banquet was in full swing, Zhike's high and steady voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Mingjiao right protector Yang Yinghao and his eldest son Yang Tiansheng congratulate the Giant Whale Clan on their great success!"

The bustling banquet fell silent, and all the congratulators turned to look out the door.

The red-faced Dong Ping also frowned, but the next second he walked out quickly with a smile on his face.

I saw a group of Mingjiao believers in brown attire, carrying several iron boxes decorated with big red flowers, entering the door.

Behind them, father and son Yang Yinghao and Yang Tiansheng, who were dressed in gold and silver attire and had nothing special to offer, crossed the gate of the Giant Whale Gang one after another.

Dong Ping laughed boldly from a distance and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Yang, come here, let me, the giant whale, help Pengpi shine!"

Yang Yinghao also smiled and returned the courtesy: "Brother Dong, you are so polite. We all drink from the same river. How could Yang not be present for such a big event!"

After the two exchanged greetings, Dong Ping looked at Yang Tiansheng with a smile: "Is this your master? It is true that heroes come from young!"

Yang Tiansheng smiled and saluted with his fists clasped: "Junior Yang Tiansheng, congratulations to Gang Leader Dong on his successful career and great achievements!"

Dong Ping returned the favor with a smile: "Hahaha, Young Master Yang is too flattering to me, old Dong. The people in the world of this generation are all old, so we just want to find a way to make a living for the elderly. This world is still up to you!"

Yang Tiansheng: "As for Gang Leader Dong, you are old-hearted. In the future, the juniors will have to ask Gang Leader Dong to take care of this three-acre land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Dong Ping narrowed his eyes and laughed again: "Young Master Yang is really good at talking... Mr. Xian and your son, please come and take a seat. The wine is meager and the food is meager. Please don't dislike Mr. Xian."

Yang Yinghao: "Brother Dong is too humble. I heard that your gang has invited all the master chefs from the Eighth Building in Hangzhou to come here today."

Dong Ping: "Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

A group of people entered the atrium banquet, and a large number of people stood up in the lively banquet, like a god avoiding the plague, leaving a large number of empty seats.

Dong Ping turned a blind eye, and with a smile he led the Yang family father and son to sit at an empty table. He pointed at the untouched food and wine on the table and shouted: "Come here, please remove these leftovers quickly." Leng Zhi, take my treasured Acanthopanax bark..."

The father and son of the Yang family were also used to it. Yang Tiansheng raised his hand with a bad smile and waved at the Jianghu people who wanted to see but did not dare to look.

Yang Yinghao smiled and cupped his hands towards Dong Ping: "Brother Dong, there are many guests here today, just go and do your business, there is no need to greet my father and son here!"

Dong Ping returned the gift with a smile: "Then I'll forgive Dong for the poor hospitality and poor hospitality!"

After saying that, the two of them bowed their hands to each other in a false way, and Dong Ping turned around and left quickly to greet other guests.

After he left, Yang Tiansheng called his subordinates to sit down. Finally, he turned his head and whispered to his old father: "Dad, something's not right. It's already this hour and Old Man Li hasn't come yet!"

With a smile on his face, Yang Yinghao nodded to the Jianghu people who secretly looked at his father and son, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, just watch the show!"

Yang Tiansheng curled his lips and said to himself: 'I know how to watch the fun, and I learned all this from you...'

Yang Yinghao seemed to know what his silly son was murmuring in his mind. He glanced sideways at him and whispered, "Don't force me to slap you in front of outsiders!"

"whispering sound!"

Yang Tiansheng retracted his head, crossed his arms and glanced at the unknown people present, saying indifferently: "It's boring... Hey, I don't know what Yang Laoer is doing, he must be much more energetic over there than here!"

Yang Yinghao scolded: "What are they doing? They are doing business!"

After a while, the giant whale gang came up with plates of steaming big fish and meat.

As soon as Yang Tiansheng raised his chopsticks to pick up the food, he heard the Zhike outside the door shouting: "Liu Changfeng, the owner of Yunmeng Villa, and Liu Wuji, the young owner of the Villa, congratulate the Giant Whale Gang on their great success!"

"'Jinghong Sword' Liu Changfeng?"

An amused smile suddenly appeared on Yang Tiansheng's face: "Isn't this guy always at odds with Lianlianwu? Wow, oh, wow, the enemies are getting together. If Hongxing hadn't come out of the wall a long time ago, I would be 'Yang' Write it backwards!”

"Finally something interesting!"

Yang Yinghao narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few breaths, then put down his chopsticks with great interest: "This is so true!"

Yang Tiansheng heard the sound and immediately put his head over: "If these two people get together, do they have a chance of winning?"

"I don't know if I have a chance of winning as a father."

Yang Yinghao smiled unhurriedly: "But my father knows... this is a game!"

Yang Tiansheng said "hmm" and quickly moved the chair under his butt towards his father: "Dad, tell the child."

Yang Yinghao looked at the door and said softly: "As far as my father knows, Yunmeng Villa has secretly been with Ning Hai for some years..."

"Ning Hai?"

Yang Tiansheng was stunned and blurted out: "Prince Ning?"

Finally, he wondered: "Isn't Prince Ning engaged in overseas smuggling? Why did he use the canal? Oh... water transportation?"

Yang Yinghao: "As a father, I also want to know."

Yang Tiansheng scratched his forehead: "That guy has done this, is he not far away from rebellion?"

Yang Yinghao pondered for a long time, shook his head slightly and said: "The water in the imperial court is too muddy, even my father can't understand it."

Yang Tiansheng thought for a while and sighed: "I hope Mr. Li can hold his head..."

Yang Yinghao frowned and whispered: "It's hard to say!"

Yang Tiansheng looked at his father in surprise: "If these two dogs are put together, they can at most be on par with Old Man Li, right?"

Yang Yinghao's brows still didn't loosen: "It depends on what Prince Ning can do... As far as my father knows, Duan Yu has surrendered to Prince Ning a long time ago. If he takes action, Li Changjiang will not be able to withstand it!"

"'Duan Yu, the life-seeking king of hell'?"

Yang Tiansheng suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Isn't that guy a lone wolf? When did you vote for Prince Ning? How come the kid has never heard anything about it?"

Yang Yinghao glanced at him: "If you could put half of your focus on watching the excitement on the major events in the church, why would you just follow what others say and follow the crowd!"

Yang Tiansheng said with a sarcastic smile: "Dad, you know the child. The child just wants to live a happy and carefree life. It would be too troublesome to rebel or something. Besides... I really don't think that we have caused the Zhao family to suffer." If you do it, everyone in the world will live a good life!"

Yang Yinghao glared and shouted: "Shut up, Shuzi. How dare you talk nonsense about doctrine?"

Yang Tiansheng shut his mouth, and finally said unconvinced: "Look, you are in a hurry!"

Yang Yinghao was too lazy to deal with this deviant kid... Although he secretly felt that what he said was reasonable.

Mingjiao has a long history, with many branches and muds and sands.

Some people call their Ming Cult the Demon Cult.

Some people call them Mingjiao rebels.

Some people call them Mingjiao righteous thieves...

It's actually wrong to say it's wrong.

It's all right.

There is indeed a Mingjiao for everyone.

There is that murderous devil.

There are those rebels who remain true to their original intentions.

There are also chivalrous knights who perform chivalrous acts of justice.

It seems that these people are all members of Mingjiao from their ancestors.

Hundreds of years of historical problems have accumulated. Not only Yang Yinghao, the bright and right envoy of Mingjiao, but also the leaders of Mingjiao in the past generations have been unable to clean up the family and rectify the academic affairs.

Just like those murderous demons, when the Ming Cult is in trouble, people are really desperate, and there are even those demons that are passed down from a single line, and generations of descendants are all dead to protect the religion.

Let’s talk about those rebels. They are traditional crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation since the establishment of the Mingjiao religion. They are written into the program of the doctrine. The entire Mingjiao structure is also built around the rebel army.

Which group to clean up?

Whichever group you clean up, Mingjiao will fall apart!

And these old people, whose ancestors have been branded with the Mingjiao for generations, once they lose the shade of the big tree of the Mingjiao, they will die not only at the hands of their enemies, but also under the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court!

So... let's just make do with it, how can we leave?

It is precisely because Mingjiao is full of mud and sand, and everyone is there.

As a result, the imperial court's attitude towards Mingjiao has always been either cloudy or sunny, or at a distance, depending on the rise and fall of national power.

When the country was strong, the imperial court naturally pursued Mingjiao fiercely.

When the national power was struggling to support it, the imperial court began to pull and fight against Mingjiao.

When the national power was unsustainable, the imperial court mostly tried to appease the Mingjiao.

And Mingjiao has long been accustomed to the court's attitude of turning against someone faster than turning over a book.

When the country is strong, we don't need you to fight us, we will disappear automatically.

When the national power is equal, everyone will talk and fight at the same time.

The national strength is beginning to decline, so sorry, we have to throw down the flag and rebel...

This is why it is known all over the world that Mingjiao is engaged in the big business of rebellion, and Mingjiao followers can still walk around the world openly.

Neptune versus the scumbag, everyone is evenly matched, no one can say anyone is ruthless!

At present, it is at a time when the power of the Wei Dynasty is fluctuating.

Previously, when the power of the Wei Dynasty was declining, Mingjiao rebels began to emerge in various places.

Shen Fa had previously gone to suppress the Mingjiao rebels, but was betrayed by Bai Mujiu, a member of the Mingjiao movement.

After the great victory at the border, the national power of the Wei Dynasty recovered.

The rebel army that had emerged from the Ming Cult had died down again.

The Yang family in Fengyang, where father and son Yang Yinghao and Yang Tiansheng came from, belong to the Mingjiao lineage of chivalrous and righteous people.

They are the kind of spectators and people who enjoy themselves when Mingjiao rebels wherever they are, but rarely get involved.

As for Yang Yinghao's ability to ascend to the high position of Mingjiao's Right Envoy of Light, apart from his personal martial arts prowess, there was also the factor of Mingjiao's attitude toward the court.

If we want to talk, we can't find a rebel leader to talk to the court, right?

Of course, you have to find a decent person who can do something to talk to the court.

…

At the founding ceremony of the Giant Whale Gang, with the arrival of the Yang family and his son and the Yunmeng Villa group, the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively!

No matter what the righteous way or the evil way, both of them are famous giants who have returned to their true nature in the world!

In addition, Dong Ping, the host who is also a giant who has returned to his true nature, and Li Changjiang, the owner of the serial dock, "Crossing the River Dragon", has not yet appeared, but everyone is sure that he will come...

The great excitement of four returning giants gathering together is something that has rarely been seen in the world for several years!

Although I haven't seen any light or shadow of swords yet.

But the happy people, led by Yang Tiansheng, were already excited.

When the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, Dong Ping, whose face was full of alcohol, showed off the various Qi sea masters he had accumulated over the years and called them out one by one to appear.

As the well-known and familiar Qihai players from Jiangzuo appeared on stage one after another, winning waves of applause and applause, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually arrived.

Just when many Qihai masters had finished their presentations, Dong Ping, who was blushing and carrying a wine bowl, walked to the high platform and was about to give an acceptance speech...

Zhike, who had been resting for a long time, suddenly sang loudly: "Li Changjiang, the master of Lianlianwuwu, and Li Jincheng, the master of Shaowuwu, respectfully..."

Before the word "congratulations" was spoken, a metal box wrapped with white flowers in the mourning hall flew in and hit Dong Ping on the high platform.

"Crash."

The crowd of congratulators, who had already come to their senses when they heard the words "Lianlianwu", instantly dispersed to both sides, revealing a spacious aisle with a bright red carpet in the middle.

Dong Ping, who was on the high platform, was still holding a wine bowl in one hand, and the smile on his face did not disappear.

He held his sandbag-sized fist and punched in the air.

"Bang."

The iron box exploded and paper money was scattered throughout the atrium.

"Fuck!"

Yang Tiansheng in the crowd loudly called out everyone's thoughts: "Are you so energetic right from the start?"

"Shut up!"

Yang Yinghao angrily covered his silly son's broken mouth, sneered and waved at the onlookers who heard the sound and looked over: "Look...over there, look over there, leave this kid alone!"

The onlookers all turned around and saw a vigorous old man with gray beard and hair, a slightly stooped figure, wearing a Gebu short jacket, with his trouser legs rolled up at his feet. He was walking slowly while holding a big black iron gun. Entering the door, he said softly and slowly: "Old Dong, how can you not tell your family about such a big happy event?"

"Why didn't I tell you?"

Dong Ping, who was on the high platform, pointed at the paper money floating in front of him and said with a smile: "You are doing these things that are not human beings. What should I tell you?"

"I would rather get together and have a good time with you."

The vigorous figure shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "But you just finished eating and then turned around and smashed the pot. It's hard for me to handle it!"

"fall through?"

The smile on Dong Ping's face suddenly turned cold: "We all made the pot together and cooked the rice together. If you two eat meat, our subordinates should also have a bone to chew on, right? You'd better not let it smell of meat." Let's take a sip and give us the leftovers. If I don't leave, should I continue to stay in Lianhuanwu and work as a horse for the Li family?"

His grievances and grievances with Lianlianwu had already spread all over the city, so naturally he didn't hesitate to speak more clearly.

At least he was determined not to bear the reputation of being a traitor and cheating on his master.

The vigorous old man sighed softly: "This woman who has left home has scolded all the bosses in her husband's family. Why can't you remember at all? When you committed a major case in Guangling, you were slapped six times. Who kindly took you in when you had no way to go to the sky and no door to the earth? Who taught you your martial arts?"

"correct!"

He slapped his forehead and said as if he suddenly understood: "When you were in Guangling, you were involved in a lawsuit involving murder and robbery, right? Hey, old man, I still hoped that you could change your ways and start a new life, but I never thought..."

Dong Ping said angrily: "There is no need to accuse me. I, Dong Ping, think I can stand up to Lianlianwu and your Li family. If you pick me, the Giant Whale Gang, today, feel free to come over and I, Dong Ping, will take over!" "

"You, you, you!"

The vigorous old man sighed and shook his head slowly: "When can you change your bad habit of getting angry when others talk about important things?"

"The old thief bullied me too much!"

Dong Ping angrily stood up from the high platform, and blasted out his arms wildly. In an instant, dozens of powerful punches fell, just like the paper money floating in the sky just now.

The vigorous old man unhurriedly raised his gun and flicked the gunfire, and the big black iron gun was like a dragon coming out of the sea, calmly breaking through the fists in the sky.

"Don't use the skills I taught you to offer as treasures!"

He said calmly: "Show me your housekeeping skills and let me see how much you have improved over the years..."
