Chapter 374 Southern Alliance and Northern Alliance, Hong Tan Family
After all the acquaintances who had come to get close to each other returned to their seats, the entire venue was almost full, even the VIP seats worth 80,000 yuan a table.
There is only one empty table next to Ye Xingyu and the others, which is the best viewing position in the middle. The table is larger and occupies a large area. It looks a bit special, but there are no guests. There is only a small table standing on the table.
There is a sign with the words "Exclusive Seats" written on it.
This table was obviously different, and Ye Xingyu couldn't help but take a second look.
Ouyang Ting took the initiative to explain to him: "This is a seat reserved by Beimen for itself. Generally, it is not reserved for outsiders."
"Bei League?" Ye Xingyu frowned slightly, as if he was a little disgusted by the name, and immediately asked, "Could it be that the owner behind this place is the Bei League?"
"That's right!" Ouyang Ting nodded with absolute certainty, "It's better to say it's the Tan family than the Northern League. This is actually an exclusive seat reserved for the Tan family."
Neither the Bei League nor the Tan family is unknown, but rather famous. Of course Ye Xingyu is aware of it and knows the details.
In the Tianlong Empire, the most famous in the secular world are the five major families and the ten major wealthy families, while in the ancient martial arts world, Taishan Beidou is nothing more than the five major sects and the four major hidden clans.
The former is about power and wealth, while the latter is about martial arts strength, which are completely different in nature.
Although the five major families and the top ten wealthy families also worship many masters of ancient martial arts, they mainly spend their energy in the fields of business, government, military and civilians. In terms of armed forces, they are not actually strong.
The five major sects and the four major hermit clans have adopted an attitude of reclusive practice, do not participate in national politics, and have little contact with the world of society. The same is true for other ancient martial arts sects with long traditions.
However, there are some Guwu sects and Guwu families that are not so rich in background, but they occupy both ends, practicing martial arts, doing business, and even involving other industries.
For example, the Xu family among the five major families was originally an ancient martial arts family, and the current members of the Xu family have always maintained the tradition of practicing ancient martial arts.
Under this, there are two very famous civil organizations, namely the Southern United Society and the Northern League, which are collectively known as the "Southern United and Northern League".
In China, the martial arts world is divided into the north and the south. The Southern Union Society and the Northern League Society represent the northern and southern martial arts circles respectively. They have a strong sense of region and are composed of many small sects, small gangs, and small family groups. They have already been famous in the old times.
The rise of magpie, after many years of development, has long become a climate, spanning both ancient martial arts and secular worlds.
To put it simply, the Southern Union Society and the Northern Alliance Society are actually the Southern Martial Arts Association and the Northern Martial Arts Alliance. Both are unofficial private voluntary organizations.
Currently, the leader of the Southern Alliance is Hong Zhaoyi, and the leader of the Northern Alliance is Tan Dabiao. They are both master-level ancient martial arts experts, and their status is higher than that of the contemporary patriarchs of the five major families.
It stands to reason that in the martial arts world, there are strong sectarian differences, and civil and military fights often occur. It would be a good thing if we could put aside our grudges and join forces for mutual help and mutual benefit, but Ye Xingyu had a bad impression of these two organizations.
Since ancient times, chivalrous men have used force to break the law, disregard human life, and ignore laws and disciplines. Therefore, the national government has become more and more strict in controlling ancient warriors, for fear that they will use force to do whatever they want.
The behavior of the Southern United Press and the Northern League is like two huge gangs. They do not do many good things that benefit the country and the people. Instead, they do some bad things that are illegal and disciplined from time to time, often evading the law.
Play around the edges and seek benefits for yourself.
But it is undeniable that the Southern Alliance and the Northern Alliance are indeed promoting the popularization and development of martial arts, and are very prestigious and influential in the ancient martial arts world, which is why they have not been used by the empire.
Putting aside the big hats of the Southern Union Society and the Northern Union Society, the Tan family in the north and the Hong family in the south are both famous Guwu families with numerous masters. They are especially famous in modern times and are in the second echelon among the Guwu families.
, second only to the four great Yin clans.
Moreover, these two major families controlled the Southern and Northern Alliances respectively, and changed the original electoral system to a hereditary system. The president's position has been held by the heads of these two families continuously for at least three or four generations.
No changes.
In other words, the Southern Union Society's surname is Hong, and the Northern Union Society's surname is Tan. Although they still retain the tradition of voting, they have almost become the same party.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Ouyang Ting has just mentioned the Northern Alliance and the Tan family to Ye Xingyu when a group of people leisurely walk along the reserved passage in the distance, aiming for the exclusive seat that has been vacant for a long time.
There were four of them in total, all young men and women. They were divided into two pairs and behaved intimately. They should be lovers.
The first pair in the front row looks a little strange, or rather, not very coordinated.
The man was wearing a suit. He was of medium build but relatively thin. He wore a pair of highly myopic glasses on his face. He looked decent, but his body was fragile, like a weakling with no strength.
Originally there was nothing wrong with this gentle image, but when paired with the beautiful woman next to him, it looked weird because his partner was so tall, half a head taller than him.
The beauty next to her was not dressed too thickly. She wore tight pants and a tight sweater. Her tall and fit figure looked very enchanting. What was even more noticeable was her height. She was over 1.8 meters without shoes. Now with high heels, she was estimated to be 1.5 meters tall.
Mi Jiu is very dazzling, like standing out from the crowd.
On the other hand, this four-eyed frog man is only a little over 1.7 meters even if he wears leather shoes with inner heightening. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a head shorter than his female companion.
If they were to do that while standing, the man would probably have to find a brick to put his feet on, not even upside down, but standing up.
Ouyang Ting came closer, carrying a scent of fragrance, and whispered to Ye Xingyu: "The man with glasses who came over is the fifth son of Tan Dabiao, the president of the Northern League. He seems to be named Tan Qijun. He just came from abroad.
He returned from studying abroad not long ago, so he probably hasn’t practiced martial arts, so I don’t know what his personality is like.”
Ye Xingyu nodded to express his understanding.
Ouyang Ting then added: "The woman next to Tan Qijun is the daughter of Yan Shaoqun, the second eldest son of the Yan family, and her name is Yan Zhihu."
"Yan Zhihu?" Ye Xingyu was stunned for a moment. This was the third time he heard this name.
He remembered that Wang Chunxiang had mentioned Yan Zhihu many times, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
If you take a closer look, you will see that this tall woman has many similarities with Wang Chunxiang. She has a toned body shape, tight and well-proportioned, with no fat. You can feel her muscle lines are more obvious and faint through her tights.
It exudes a "strong" smell.
Moreover, like Wang Chunxiang, she has very delicate features and face, which does not seem to match her toned body, but she still has a unique sense of beauty.
