In the hall of Hidden Dragon Mountain, the leader of the family, Black Dragon, was sitting on a chair. At his side, Jackal and Phoenix were also sitting on chairs. Behind the three people stood the Eight Great Vajras of Hidden Dragon Mountain, including the Blood Peng and the One-eyed Vulture.
In addition to the Xue Peng who had fought against Luo Xiao before, as well as the one-eyed vulture, owl, and falcon, the remaining ones were all present.
Among them, there were two girls standing behind Phoenix. One was wearing a bright green outfit, and the other was in black, with two guns stuck in their waists. They looked heroic.
These two people were Qingluan and Caique, Fenghuang's two assistants. They had just returned from a business trip out of town.
Sitting on a row of chairs opposite Heilong and the others, there was a man in his forties, wearing a silk gown and wearing several thumb rings on the fingers of his hands. The gems inlaid on them dazzled people's eyes in the western sun.
This man's facial features are very ordinary, and his slightly raised lips always make him look kind-hearted, but his slender eyes show that this man is thoughtful and deep. Behind him, more than a dozen people
The sturdy man stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a bodyguard.
The middle-aged man was holding a tea bowl in his hand, which contained brewed high-quality Lu'an melon slices. The refreshing fragrance of tea lingered in the hall and echoed in the hall.
"Mr. Tang, I didn't expect Qingmakan to come in person this time. Heilong is really flattered." Heilong looked at Tang Yulin opposite who was holding a small tea bowl, and then said with a smile, but he was on guard in his heart.
Tang Yulin is said to be a distant relative of Tang Erhu, but they have no contact with each other. He has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, but later he had no hope of achieving fame and went to Qingmakan to become a bandit.
strategist.
This person is very scheming and powerful. He is a very difficult person to deal with. Normally, he would not leave Qingmakan easily, but this time he did not expect that he would come to deliver the gift in person. Black Dragon couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Although Hidden Dragon Mountain is as famous as Qingmacan, Lijiagou, and Baichengzi in this area, its actual strength is far behind. It just takes advantage of its relatively remote geographical location and less powerful strength.
Qingmakan is the most powerful among these big forces, with more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,000 long and short guns under his command. He is so skilled that even the Northeast Army is not willing to provoke him easily in this area.
Moreover, it is said that the old commander-in-chief of Qingmakan was still related to him, so the Northeast Army was very afraid of Qingmakan and allowed it to develop rapidly.
Hidden Dragon Mountain cannot offend others, so Heilong can only deal with Tang Yulin cautiously.
Tang Yulin put down the tea bowl in his hand, and then chuckled, "You're welcome, boss. Tang is just a pawn here to send gifts this time. Don't laugh at me."
"Haha, Mr. Tang is so polite!" Seeing that Tang Yulin didn't say anything, Heilong became more confused.
The two sides were talking calmly in the hall, and no one was in a hurry. They were talking to each other, and for a while the atmosphere in the hall became a bit mysterious.
The two of them talked nonsense for as long as a cup of tea. Heilong couldn't bear it any longer. He said, "Mr. Tang, I wonder how your old master's health is?"
Seeing Heilong asking about this matter, Tang Yulin chuckled and got to the point, "Our old master has given up his position to the young master. He is now living in the rear village and living a very leisurely life."
Upon hearing this, the black dragon, jackal and phoenix all looked at each other and immediately felt a bad premonition.
Qingmakan has always been run by the old master, who is a moderate, has good relations with other forces, and is very popular. The young master, Du Jintang, is ambitious and always wants to unify the bandits in western Liaoning and then control the three eastern provinces.
He is dreaming of being the king of Northeast China and wants to imitate Marshal Zhang back then.
However, due to the lack of real power, Du Jintang can only wait and wait for the time when he takes power in the future to display his ambitions.
With the old boss's physical condition, it would be no problem for him to stay in office for another ten years, but he didn't expect that Du Jintang would take power so soon.
Black Dragon understands that once Du Jintang, who is extremely ambitious and advocates expansion, takes charge of Qingmakan, an imminent crisis may be waiting for his copycats.
Sure enough, after Tang Yulin said this, he continued, "I came to Hidden Dragon Mountain this time mainly to celebrate my birthday. The other thing is to send invitations to the three heads and invite them to attend the succession ceremony of our young head."
Heilong's heart moved, and he understood that Tang Yulin's visit to send congratulatory gifts this time was fake. The real purpose was to send invitations to people like himself. The main purpose was to invite people to attend Du Jintang's succession ceremony.
It is conceivable that this ceremony is definitely a Hongmen Banquet, and it may be an attempt by Du Jintang to take the opportunity to gather people under his command.
If you don't obey him then, no one can guarantee whether this cold-blooded guy will kill him or do something crazy.
In Qingmakan, people who go there are like meat on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by others.
Heilong was complaining in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and smiling. He cupped his hands towards Tang Yulin and said, "Mr. Tang, we from Hidden Dragon Mountain will definitely come to congratulate you."
A cold light flashed in Tang Yulin's eyes, and he heard the fishiness in Heilong's words. He said calmly, "Master Heilong, you, the three young masters of Hidden Dragon Mountain, have long admired you. The reason why Tang is here this time is
In order to be sure to invite the three of them to attend when the time comes, I hope that the three leaders will definitely attend."
"Well, Mr. Tang, we will have to look at the situation when the time comes. Even if we really can't escape, we will send people to congratulate us and we will not fail to be present." Heilong was exposed. He hesitated and said.
"Hehe, Mr. Black Dragon, you should know very well the temper of our young master. If the three of you refuse like this, no one can say whether he will send someone to invite you to come!" Tang Yulin sneered.
In his words, the word "please" was particularly emphasized, and the threat became much stronger.
He took out a sign carved from ebony from his arms and placed it on the table next to him. Tang Yulin stood up and walked away, "When the time comes, I hope the three of us will hold this sign in person and appear in Qingmakan."
, bid farewell."
Seeing Tang Yulin leading the people out of the hall and heading straight for the mountain path down the mountain, Heilong pressed his hand on the table. The veins on the back of his hand swelled from the force. He grabbed the sign and raised it in front of him.
The sign is made of ebony, and the workmanship is very fine. On the front is a circle of clouds, surrounded by three gold characters in seal script - Order of Heroes.
