Chapter 95: The First Appearance of the Longevity Alliance

The next morning, when Xie Zhan and Long Qing went downstairs, Xue Yan was already waiting downstairs.

"Brother Xue! I really caused trouble for you yesterday." Long Qing was no longer as reckless as yesterday, and bowed to Xue Yan respectfully - I don't know if it was Xie Zhan's words that had an effect, or if he just woke up.

liquor.

"What the hell." Xue Yan waved his hand and said indifferently: "How did you two good brothers rest last night?"

This restaurant was newly opened. Although the scale is not that big, it does not have two vacant rooms. Xue Yan sent Buddha to the west. Of course, it was impossible for the two of them to sleep in a room together. He even wanted to

The man brought two basins of water for Xie and Long to bathe in, but they politely declined.

"Brother Xue entertained you very attentively." Xie Zhan nodded lightly.

"In that case, let's set off." Xue Yan had already prepared the horses for everyone. He and Ning Zanghua led the two of them to ride the horses, and then said: "There is not much to eat this morning, so I invite you two worthy brothers.

Just be patient for a while, and when we get to the station of the Eternal Life Alliance, I will have someone prepare a sumptuous banquet."

The Eternal Life Alliance has stations in various counties in the South China Sea. There are eleven or two in total. Haiyin County alone occupies four places. And the "headquarters" Xue Yan mentioned yesterday is not the headquarters of the Eternal Life Alliance, but Haiyin County.

Many big gangs in the Jianghu, the number one gang in Yin County, are also set up in this way. For example, the Sihai Gang has branch rudders in various waterway hub towns.

The real headquarters, which is the origin of the Eternal Life Alliance, is located in Mirage County on the southeast coast. The leader of the Eternal Life Alliance is old and has been recuperating in Mirage City all year round, while the external affairs are taken care of by high-level leaders - such as Hai

In a corner of Yin County that is outside the law, the second leader of the Five Sacrifice and the Young Master are personally in charge.

The leader of the Five Sacrifice is a position of power second only to the alliance leader, deputy alliance leader and young alliance leader. They can be regarded as the pioneer generals who open up territories. They are also in charge of a type of industry or affairs in the alliance. They are responsible for ensuring safety in and out, and controlling

The door god of the escort agency; the household god who has the power of life and death and is in charge of discipline; the well god who helps the world with the hanging spirit gourd and is in charge of the medicine shop; the kitchen god who makes friends with heroes from all over the world and is in charge of the restaurant; and the land god who is in charge of the money and food revenue and the internal affairs. These five

They all hold a pivotal position in the Everlasting Alliance and are the mainstay of the gang's development, and their subordinates are also represented by the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Along the way, Xue Yan introduced various aspects of the Immortal League to two outsiders as he walked. As the "Kitchen God who makes friends with heroes from all over the world", his job is to attract loyal and courageous knights into the Immortal League.

The talented people will be so diligent and enthusiastic, hoping that this can help the knights find a sense of belonging, and even if these people do not have the intention to join the Immortal Alliance in the end, many friends will take multiple paths.

"Brother Xue, you are the leader of the Five Sacrifice, why are you so concerned about us two little-known little characters?" Xie Zhansi thought about it before he expressed his doubts - his wandering in the first half of his life had changed his character.

Being cautious, he subconsciously thought that being courteous for nothing was a traitor or a thief. However, out of recognition of Xue Yan's personality charm, he still asked like this.

"What kind of leader is there? If the alliance leader hadn't been kind to me, I really wouldn't want to do this tiring job."

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who draw out their swords to help when they see injustice. Many famous disciples would like to hide as far away as possible when they see such bullying. But you unknown people can take action in a righteous way, which really makes me feel very happy.

.”

In fact, Xue Yan was telling the truth - apart from his own job as Kitchen Lord, the biggest reason why he admired and intentionally recruited these two people was because he saw their innocent hearts.

While they were chatting and laughing, Xue Yan stopped his horse and led the two of them to the gate of a tall house in the suburbs of the city. The gate was very wide, and a huge gold-foiled plaque hung on the forehead, with the word "immortality" written on it.

There were already people standing guard in front of the door, waiting for a few people to dismount.

"Leader Xue, you are back." The sentry greeted with respect.

Xue Yan nodded, and just as he was about to reply, he suddenly frowned and arched his nose: "This smells so bad, what's going on in there?"

Not only Xue Yan could smell it, but Ning Zanghua and the two guests also felt the smell. The sentry even said with an unnatural expression: "I have been smelling it all morning, but I didn't dare to go in and ask. What's inside?"

My brother said that Deputy Chief Yang got up early in the morning and was busy in the kitchen, and this smell came from the back kitchen."

As soon as he heard this, Xue Yan said "tsk tsk" twice and strode toward the door. As he walked, he shouted like a bell: "Yang Laoba, you are cooking swill in the kitchen."

Na?"

Others were intimidated by Deputy Leader Yang's tricks, but Xue Yan didn't care at all. He was Deputy Leader Yang's immediate boss. Although it was usually difficult for Xue Yan to use his position to pressure others, seeing so many brothers...

His face turned purple from holding it in, and he had no choice but to ask himself what on earth his deputy was researching.

"Hey, here it comes!" A yellow-faced man came out of the back kitchen, holding a basin of soup and water in his hand. Everyone who had gathered around Xue Yan suddenly dispersed.

They all covered their mouths and noses with their hands - it seemed that the source of the stink was this pot of stuff.

"Ugh..." Before Yang Laoba could get closer with the "swill basin", several people around Xue Yan had already retched, but Xue Yan didn't have any extreme reaction. After all, he had done meat when he was young.

In his shop business, he was used to having to remove the entrails of pigs and sheep, but judging from his expression, this "swill basin" was indeed quite powerful.

No one else dared to come near, but Yang Laoba looked smug: "Old Xue, try my newly researched 'Stinky Tofu Stewed with Durian'."

"Let's not talk about whether you researched this dish..." Xue Yan's expression was quite strange, "Can't you go home and study it?"

"If I'm studying at home, don't I have to bring it over for all the brothers to try? As the deputy leader of the fire hall, how can I eat alone?" Yang Laoba said with a righteous and selfless face, "This is my stinky tofu stewed with durian.

Although it is not original, when I fried stinky tofu in soybean oil, I also added garlic juice and green onion juice. I also fried the durian first before adding it to the pan. By the way, I made this jar of stinky tofu in Mao...

…”

"Stop talking." Xue Yan patted Yang Laoba on the shoulder and returned the chopsticks that Yang Laoba had just put into his hand to the other party: "Try a piece for yourself first."

"Hiccup..." Yang Laoba burped at the right time, and the stench filled the air: "I've already eaten a lot in the kitchen..."

"Is this stuff for people to eat? Are you still eating it secretly? If you are so willing to eat it, you can eat it all!" Ning Zanghua next to her couldn't bear it anymore - she was rude to everyone.

It looked like he immediately covered his face and walked away after roaring, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Hey..." Seeing that Ning Zanghua was disdainful of the dish he had worked so hard to develop, Yang Laoba was obviously a little disappointed, but he saw two strangers through Xue Yan's body: "These two are...

New members of the gang? You two young heroes, after eating Laoba’s dish, I guarantee that you will at least be able to become minor bosses when you enter the Fire Hall.”

Facing Yang Laoba's bowl of swill, Long Qing, who was always fiery, also declined politely: "Uh... thank you, Deputy Chief Yang, for your kindness. I just drank too much last night. My tongue is still big and I really can't taste it.

, it’s better to leave things like this to others.”

However, Long Qing's move can be said to have saved him from cheating his junior brother. Seeing that Long Qing was unwilling, Yang Laoba raised the basin and came to Xie Zhan. Xue Yan really couldn't see it, so he picked up the chopsticks and covered his ears with lightning

Zhishi put a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth: "Please don't embarrass these two little brothers. Can't I just eat it?"

"Strong man", "Awesome", "As expected of the Stove Lord, he dares to eat any tribute" these comments spontaneously arose in the hearts of the people watching.

"The taste is okay, not as disgusting as expected, but the texture is too bad - the soles of shoes are chewier than this." This is Xue Yan's final evaluation of the stinky tofu stewed with durian.

Just when everyone who heard this sentence was wondering whether Xue Yan had really eaten the sole of a shoe, Xue Yan had already dismissed the matter lightly. He introduced each other to the two parties around him:

"This is Yang Xuanqi, the deputy leader of our Fire Hall, and the two little brothers I brought here are the two I met last night - the older one is called Xie Zhan, and the handsome young man is Long Qing."

The three of them bowed their hands to each other as a courtesy, but Yang Xuanqi refused to open any pot and said: "Boss Xue, wasn't last night the day to set a trap for Gao Lin? Is it done?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie and Long both looked a little embarrassed. It was hard for them to say that it was because of them that the plan of the Eternal Life Alliance was ruined.

Xue Yan gently tilted his head and winked at Yang Xuanqi, then changed the topic and said: "The plan cannot keep up with the change. This matter is yet to be decided. You first find an empty guest room for these two wise brothers to stay. The two of them will also stay with Gao

If Lin has a problem, we can deal with that guy together."

Why didn't Xue Yan personally arrange accommodation for his two little brothers? As soon as the piece of stinky tofu entered his stomach, he felt unbearable cramps. It was not easy to complete the task completely. At this time, he said it immediately

He walked towards the hut.

Yang Xuanqi handed the "swill basin" in his hand to an unlucky subordinate nearby and asked him to take it back to the kitchen, and then took the two of them to the guest room. In fact, the luggage on the two of them was not correct, it was nothing more than a sword for each person and

Just two small pieces of baggage.

After everything was settled, Yang Xuanqi asked the two of them curiously: "Although Boss Xue is usually kind, there are not many people who can like him. How did the two brothers make friends with Boss Xue?"

He could escape the first day but not the fifteenth. Xie Zhan gave a bitter smile and told Yang Xuanqi everything about last night. He originally thought that the deputy leader of the Fire Hall of the Eternal Life Alliance would be hostile to him because of this, but he

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuanqi did not regard this matter as a big deal.

"Thank you, brother. You don't have to blame yourself so much. Boss Xue also said that the plan can't keep up with the changes. Besides, you two can help each other even though they are strangers. It's too late for us to welcome you. How could we have the idea of ​​venting our anger on you?" Yang Xuanqi.

Said so.

It seems that the people in the Changsheng Alliance, or at least the people in Xue Yan's group, are very talkative and broad-minded.

Not long after, Xue Yan also found the three of them. He hugged Xie and Long's shoulders: "Two brothers, Lao Xue, I will show you what our Changsheng Alliance usually does."

Yang Xuanqi pointed to his nose: "Should I still follow you?"

Xue Yan glared at him, obviously he was worried about what he had just eaten: "Hurry up and ask someone to go to the kitchen to clean up your mess, and make more good dishes."

No matter how unreliable Yang Xuanqi was, he was still in awe of Xue Yan and ran to the kitchen in a flash.

Xue Yan took the two of them to a place similar to a prison cell. As he walked, he introduced to the two of them: "Actually, our Changsheng Alliance does not just recruit warriors from the martial arts world. Many local people such as farmers and craftsmen can also join the gang as apprentices.

Everyone, they just do their own work on weekdays, but no matter what happens, they can report it to the alliance and solve it, and we, the disciples of the Everlasting Alliance, also communicate with each other."

"Two worthy brothers, I believe you can also see what Lao Xue is thinking." Xue Yan's words have been very clear: "Old Xue, I saw that your martial arts are not bad, and your character is upright, so I invited you two

I wonder... what do you think of this worthy brother's intention to join the alliance?"

Xie Zhan was still silent, but Long Qing had already clapped his hands and responded: "Of course! But Brother Xue, our master... the two brothers want to see more of the world when they go down the mountain this time, so I'm afraid they can't stay here?

"

"It doesn't matter." Xue Yan said with a smile: "Many knights, bodyguards and even merchants who travel around the world and have no fixed residence only have names in the Immortal Alliance, but they have met each other in the Immortal Alliance.

There will also be someone to take care of you.”

"That would be great!" A smile appeared on Long Qing's face, but when he saw that his junior brother was silent, he asked: "Junior brother, why don't you speak?"

Xie Zhan looked at Xue Yan respectfully: "Brother Xue, it's not that the two of us disdain your alliance, it's just that the two of us already have a sect, and joining your alliance at will without the master's permission may be against the rules of the sect...

..." At this point, Xie Zhan was embarrassed to say any more. To be fair, Xue Yan was quite good to them. As the high-ranking leader of such a large gang, Corporal Li Xian, he also helped them solve the problem of Gao Lin. Fortunately, he was very good at wine and meat.

Serving...

Seeing Xie Zhan's reserved look, Xue Yan couldn't help but feel happy at the same time: "How big of a deal do I think this is? Many of us in the Eternal Life Alliance also came from sects, just like the ones you have seen.

Zanghua—she is already a disciple of Guanghan Palace, one of the nine major sects in Jianghu, at a young age. It’s different with us. But there is no rush in this matter, you might as well think about it first..."

Xue Yan's words were like a reassurance for Xie Zhan, and Xie Zhan was no longer as restrained and ashamed as he had always been.

"Who is talking about me behind my back?" A clear voice suddenly came from the depths of the cell. Who was it if it wasn't Ning Zanghua?

"Why are you here?" Xue Yan walked forward quickly and saw Ning Zanghua and two disciples surrounding a young man who was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied.

"I thought Brother Ling was here, but they said that Brother Ling hasn't been back these days." Ning Zanghua spread her hands helplessly. Although this girl has a fiery personality, her surprisingly well-behaved appearance is quite endearing. As for

The Brother Ling she was talking about was naturally the young leader of the Eternal Life Alliance.

The young alliance leader's fiancée...is not just a simple talk. Although the two have not discussed marriage, people who are familiar with them know that it will happen sooner or later.

"What's going on?" Xue Yan didn't care about the young man. He looked at the man lying on the ground and thought he looked familiar.

"Boss Xue, I caught this kid two days ago when I was walking down the street. He was bullying a child at the time! I just happened to catch him when I saw him." The Immortal Alliance disciples next to him curled their lips.

A look of disdain.

"Hey... look at my memory." Xue Yan also recognized this person at this time. He knelt down and patted the young man's face: "I used to catch you as a thief... and you still recognize him.

Who am I?"

The young man's face was full of smiles, and the folds on his face were squeezed together: "Xue... Mr. Xue Zao."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xue Yan glanced at the young man.

This young man also knew good from evil. Facing Xue Yan, he didn't dare to breathe, let alone conceal it. He said like pouring beans through a bamboo tube: "Master Xue, it's not that I don't have a long memory. I was called out after you caught me last time."

One regret, you said I have arms and legs, why did I become a thief? So I made up my mind to quit stealing. But you said I also have to make a living, right? What do we do?

People in this industry only know how to order random things, so I was thinking of doing the last job... I passed by a candy seller's stall, and there was a little fat kid buying candy there. I saw that he was angry.

His face was shiny and his clothes were quite expensive. He bought ten strings in one go. I guessed that boys from wealthy families are much richer than ordinary people, so I thought of making some money from this little fat boy..." He

The more he spoke, the quieter he became, and in the end he was too embarrassed to continue.

"Fuck, can you be any more shameless?" Xue Yan was so angry that he slapped the young man's face twice. With Xue Yan's strength, two words popped out of the young man's mouth.

A bloody tooth: "Look at your potential!"

“Mr.

Xue Yan didn't even look at him. He turned to the two swordsmen and asked, "Two worthy brothers, what do you think I should do with him?"

Long Qing Bingxue was smart and could tell at a glance that Xue Yan wanted to scare him, so he answered: "In my opinion, this kind of scum can be killed without injustice. What's the point of bullying a child?"

"Don't, don't!" When the young man saw that someone really made such a suggestion, he shouted: "Master Xue, Master Xue, the jade sign I took from that child is still on me. I haven't had time to take action yet."

He was caught by your people!"

The disciples on the side immediately took out the jade token from their bodies and handed it to Xue Yan with both hands: "Leader Xue, this is his stolen property. Should we sell it or return it to the owner?"

"What are you talking about?" Xue Yan glared at the disciples, "Of course you have to return the things."

That's what he said, but the moment Xue Yan's eyes were fixed on the jade plaque, he changed his mind - oh, what a coincidence, this word is quite familiar.

On the jade plaque, which is a little over two inches long, there is only one word "gao" engraved on it.

As mentioned before, there is only one big family named Gao in Haiyin County, so the identity of this little fat boy is self-evident, he is the third son of the Gao family.

"Two worthy brothers, come with me, Zanghua, you too." Xue Yan's face suddenly became much more serious. Although he said he was not in a hurry, he knew that the county guard was pressing hard.

Yes, I've had great luck and come across something like this that I can take advantage of, so naturally I have to do it as soon as possible - they are officials and they are citizens, and their arms can't hold their thighs.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze came from the door, and a woman walked towards the front step by step. If you look carefully, this beautiful woman looks very similar to Ning Zanghua, but she has a more mature charm between her eyebrows.

, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the older Ning Zanghua. This woman spoke eloquently and tactfully: "Every word of a good brother calls me affectionate, and you don't even think about whether he is a 'brother' or a 'brother'"

sister'?"

This earth-shattering statement shocked everyone present, and also revealed the mystery hidden in a certain person.

The visitor - Empress Jing Shen, Pei Yuan.
