Lan Yue turned around and saw the woman she met on the way to rescue herself - Ye Peiwen. She heard her complaining to the disciples of the Eagle Claw Sect: "It's not easy to be a sister. I go out to take care of these two younger brothers. One

Cowardly and cowardly, I follow you every step of the way, like a little girl. The other one runs around like a fool, how miserable I am!" Without any explanation, he pulled Lan Yue to a seat in the far corner and sat down.

There are twenty or thirty seats scattered around the corner, each with a different name tag, such as "Zhenyuan Escort Agency", "Wuwei Escort Agency" and so on. Ye Peiwen's seat has the words "Longfeng Escort Agency" stuck on it. Ye Peiwen looked at Lan Yue.

Looking at the name on the sign, he hurriedly explained: "My father opened this escort agency not long after my brother and I were born. Maybe he expected us to become dragons and phoenixes, so he gave us such a rustic name." After that, he arranged Lan Yue to be with Ye Xiuwu.

Sitting down next to him, Ye Xiuwu saw that it was Lan Yue who had arrived. Although he was surprised, he was very happy.

Ye Peiwen took out a piece of corn from the bag, wiped it with her hands, and broke it into two halves. One half was given to you, Ye Xiuwu, and the other half was handed to Lan Yue. Lan Yue said she was not hungry. Ye Peiwen divided the two large-brimmed straw hats between them.

People complained: "Everything is expensive here. A straw hat actually costs five cents. The most expensive thing at home is only two cents."

At this time, the red sun was shining, the weather was hot, and everyone around was trying to protect themselves from the sun. Lan Yue saw that Ye Peiwen had no sun protection, and wanted to refuse, but then thought about it, the wide brim of the hat could cover her face, so she accepted it and saw the straw hat.

There were actually four big characters "Loyalty Alliance" written in black ink on it. He said: "Maybe the price is due to these four characters."

Seeing Lan Yue put on the straw hat she gave him, Ye Peiwen became happy again. She asked: "Brother, is this your first time coming to the alliance conference? Are you here to do business or to find someone?" Lan Yue said: "

I came here to hide from others."

Ye Peiwen thought Lan Yue was joking, so she said: "In the early years, there were always some gangsters sneaking into this alliance meeting, spying on information, and sometimes waiting for opportunities to cause some damage. There were also fugitives arrested by the government who walked in by mistake. So these few days

The inspection was very strict every year, but the alliance is very large, and there are often irrelevant people sneaking in, which often leads to misunderstandings. There was a young scholar similar to you at last year's conference. I don't know what the wrong link was.

I sneaked in saying that I wanted to see what the martial arts was like and go back to write a book, but I was arrested by the conference and tortured. The man couldn't bear it and died on the spot! How pitiful!" After that, he looked back.

His younger brother seemed to be afraid that he would also run away.

Lan Yue asked curiously: "Does the government not care about such abuse of lynching?"

Ye Peiwen said: "This is the martial arts world. As long as you don't rebel, the government doesn't care what you do. Fortunately, we are from the White Way. Although we accidentally hurt a good person, we can just pay a few more taels of silver."

Then he lowered his voice and said: "Besides, some people are originally from official families. For example, today's disciples of Yingzhao Sect Tiefeng are the head catchers and yamen servants at the yamen gates in the south of the Yangtze River. If I really arrest you, you won't do it."

There’s no point in reasoning.”

Lan Yue pointed to some larger seats with tents in front and asked, "Why do those people have big seats and shade tents?"

Ye Peiwen said: "In order to facilitate management, the alliance is divided into different categories and different levels. Those with higher levels and more people will naturally have good seats, but it also costs money. This point

The conference is quite fair, and our current seats are free."

Seeing Ye Peiwen's satisfied look, Lan Yue sighed secretly in her heart. At the same time, she asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "What do you do with all the time and effort you come here every year?"

Ye Peiwen smiled and said: "It seems that you are really not a martial artist. In addition to announcing some major alliance events every year at the conference, for those of us who run an escort agency, we use the membership fee certificates we have paid in the alliance branch to come to the conference to get my escort agency this year.

Escort quota.”

Lan Yue heard this interestingly and encouraged her to continue with a smile. It turned out that the escort agencies in the alliance were divided into three levels. The amount of escorts and membership fees paid for each level were different. In the same way, other martial arts agencies were divided into three levels.

Gyms, nursing homes, and even other gangs will be divided into several levels. This will not only facilitate management, avoid vicious competition within the alliance, but also increase the alliance's income. Lan Yue thought to herself, whoever can come up with this way to manage the alliance is really talented.

"Does the level never change?" Lan Yue asked curiously.

"The alliance has thought of this for a long time. In order to maintain the martial spirit, the alliance will assess its members every year and re-evaluate their levels. Of course, you can also directly challenge members of a higher level than you, defeat them and replace them directly." Ye Peiwen explained patiently.

.

Lan Yue glanced at the weapons Ye Peiwen brought and asked: "Are you here to take the level test or directly challenge someone?" After hearing Ye Peiwen's introduction, Lan Yue was immediately interested and sighed inwardly: "No wonder

My eldest brother often advised me to go out and see more. It’s true that ‘it’s better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books’!”

Ye Peiwen smiled bitterly and said: "When my father was here, my escort agency was still first-class. Now, if others don't bully our sister and brother, we will burn high incense! Fortunately, my family is already the lowest class. I just want to pull my brother away."

If you are old, you will be content if you have food to eat." The words are quite bitter, and the sadness in them is self-evident. In the past, Lan Yue would have ignored these trivial matters and the other person's feelings, but since experiencing the great changes in the family, Lan Yue has

I can also understand Ye Peiwen’s inner feelings.

While they were talking, a group of people walked over from the spacious seat far in front. As they passed the other seats, everyone stood up to salute and say hello, but the leader ignored them and went straight to Ye Peiwen's seat.

Ye Xiuwu stood up nervously and stood in front of his sister. His fair face turned red at this moment and said to Ye Peiwen: "Sister, they are here again!"

Ye Peiwen had obviously expected this and seemed helpless, but in order to comfort her brother, she patted his back with her hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"

The seven or eight people in the group were all dressed in fancy clothes and had strong builds. They all had fleshy faces and fierce eyes. They looked like bad guys at first glance. The leader among them was about thirty years old, with a short build and a fleshy figure.

He has a pair of small eyes on his fat face. What is even more eye-catching is that there is a thick black mole on his chin. There is actually a small bunch of white hair on the mole. Unlike others, this person does not wear fancy clothes, but

The whole body is made of silk and satin, and there are three big gold rings on each of the two plump hands.

I saw him walking closer, showing two gold teeth, spreading a disgusting smile, and said: "It's only been a few days since I last saw you. Xiu Wu has grown taller and is whiter." After that, he wanted to pinch it with his hands.

Ye Xiuwu's cheeks.

Ye Peiwen hurriedly pulled Xiu Wu behind him and said with a smile: "Hey, second master, you are here, please sit down!" After saying that, he gave up the seat. When the second master saw Ye Peiwen's slender and plump figure, he smiled even more obscenely.

, said: "Xiao Wen, do you miss your second brother? How do you think about what I said last time?" He posted it up.
