"President, if Alejandro really falls into the hands of this little brother, he has the qualifications to become a guest of Hongmen..."
Ma Hai hugged Bai Zhentian, stepped aside and said nothing, but the expression on his face was that of disbelief. When he looked at Qin Feng, he still squinted his eyes.
"There's one more thing.
Bai Zhentian didn't pay attention to Ma Hai, and continued: "Albert was attacked some time ago, and it was the Wu brothers who helped him block the attack. Otherwise, Albert would not have given us the shares of Taj Casino.
Hongmen...
Compared with Brother Wu's contribution to Hongmen, what does the position of a guest minister mean? Who here still has any objections?"
As soon as Bai Zhentian said this, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the venue became even weirder. Killing someone else's son and then saving me, what kind of thing is this?
If it weren't for Bai Zhentian's territory and he was the new sect leader, everyone would have started shouting. However, although no one spoke at the moment, not speaking was also a silent protest.
"Cough... cough cough..."
When there was silence in the venue, Tang Tianyou coughed twice and said, "President Bai has told me this before, and I personally agree with it."
"So the old president also agrees?"
"Then there's no problem. The old president is always fair in doing things..."
After Tang Tianyou spoke, the tense atmosphere in the venue relaxed, and everyone showed relief on their faces.
Unlike Bai Zhentian, Tang Tianyou served as the chairman for decades and built Hongmen into the number one Chinese gang. Now, almost all of these middle and high-level managers were promoted during his tenure, and they are very convinced of Tang Tianyou.
"Okay, let's go back and help Brother Wu make up for the ceremony. This matter will be settled."
Bai Zhentian cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk about what happened before. Who else disagrees with Liu Zimo's appointment as the deputy head of Zhongyi Hall?"
Before Qin Feng arrived, several deputies in the gang, such as the auditorium, strongly opposed Liu Zimo's appointment as the deputy head of the Zhongyi Hall. The two sides had just been arguing with each other red in the face.
"I disagree!"
A thin middle-aged man came out and said: "President Bai, there are many brothers who have made great contributions to Hongmen. Although Brother Liu has made great contributions, he is still too young after all. Promote him to be the deputy hall leader."
·Brothers will not be convinced..."
"I don't agree either..." Another person stood up and said: "Zhongyi Hall is responsible for external development. You must dare to fight and fight hard. Liu Zimo is not suitable..."
After that person finished speaking, three or four people jumped out at the same time and spoke out against Liu Zimo's proposal to serve as the deputy head of Zhongyi Hall. The place suddenly became chaotic.
"Oh? Hong Chengtai and Zhang Lianyou, what should we do according to your opinions?" Bai Zhentian narrowed his eyes. He knew that the people who stood up were all subordinates of Lu Yangjing and several other big bosses.
Although Lu Yangjing and others have resigned from their posts in Hongmen, their influence in Hongmen cannot be underestimated. Otherwise, Bai Zhentian would not have to just announce the appointment and dismissal list of personnel.
"It's easy to convince me. As long as he can defeat me, then I, Hong, will be convinced..." Hong Chengtai looked at Liu Zimo arrogantly and said, "I wonder if Brother Liu dares to accept the move?"
Hong Chengtai was an orphan adopted by the old president before Tang Tianyou. His bones were very suitable for practicing martial arts. Before Bai Zhentian came to Hongmen, Hong Chengtai was recognized as a double-flower red stick by Hongmen.
Hong Chengtai has been practicing Baijiaquan in Hongmen since he was a child. After the old president passed away, he was raised by Lu Yangjing.
Therefore, Hong Chengtai was very loyal to Lu Yangjing. After learning that Lu Yangjing had been dismissed as the leader of the auditorium, Hong Chengtai had been holding back his anger. He did not agree with Liu Zimo being the deputy leader of the Zhongyi Hall. The target of the attack was actually Bai Zhentian.
.
"What do you guys mean?"
Bai Zhentian looked at the other people noncommittally. They were all deputy heads of various halls, and could be considered important figures in Hongmen.
Several people looked at each other, and one of them walked out and said: "Brother Hong is talking about people who can be beaten by Zhongyi Hall. As long as Brother Liu can beat Brother Hong, we will agree..."
"Well, Hongmen should have been at the peak of its martial arts!"
Bai Zhentian clapped his hands gently, then looked at Liu Zimo and said, "Zimo, there are people who are not convinced that you are the deputy head of the Zhongyi Hall and want to challenge you. Will you accept it?"
"If you're not convinced, hit him until he is convinced."
Liu Zimo showed a sneer on his face and said: "The master is no longer good, but the slaves are still so arrogant. They are really a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die..."
As early as when those people objected, Liu Zimo was filled with hatred. Now that Bai Zhentian agreed to the competition, he could no longer hold back and jumped directly into the middle of the field.
"Boy, are you tired of living?" After hearing Liu Zimo's words, Hong Chengtai and others changed their expressions at the same time, because Liu Zimo was right about their current situation.
Lu Yangjing and others were dismissed from their positions as hall leaders, and their fate in the future can be imagined. The best of them may also be idle, and they will never be as powerful as before.
Human nature has always been to go from frugality to luxury, but from luxury to frugality is difficult. After trying the taste of power and money status, these people are not willing to be marginalized. The so-called competition is just their last struggle.
"Deputy Hall Master Hong, how do you compare?"
Liu Zimo looked at Hong Chengtai nonchalantly and said, "Whether it's a one-on-one fight, a round-the-clock battle, or you two are going together, Liu will take over..."
"Arrogant!" Hong Chengtai snorted coldly and said, "Boy, don't let your Master Hong beat you to tears later..."
Among the millions of disciples in the Hongmen, each Tangkou is almost an independent small kingdom. Although they are all disciples of the Hongmen, it does not mean that everyone has a harmonious relationship. There are also some small factions between the Tangkou and the Tangkou.
frictional.
At the beginning, Lu Yangjing claimed to be the son of the former president, and he had always been bossy in Hongmen, so the people in the auditorium and other members of the hall had never had much contact with each other. Now, they are barely at odds with each other.
"Okay, we are all brothers, don't get into those verbal disputes!"
Bai Zhentian raised his hand and said: "You two are competing in a martial arts competition. You must reach the point. You must not hurt the other's life, otherwise you will be punished according to the sect rules..."
Hong Chengtai's temperament is similar to Lu Yangjing's, they are both the kind of people who don't look down on the good things of others.
When Bai Zhentian first arrived in Hongmen, he took away Hong Chengtai's reputation as the Double Flower Red Stick. From then on, Hong Chengtai was always against Bai Zhentian, consciously or unconsciously.
Therefore, Bai Zhentian's words were ostensibly asking the two of them to restrain themselves, but in fact they were hinting to Liu Zimo that he would attack harshly. As long as he didn't kill the other party, there was no need to deal with injuries or maims according to the sect's rules.
"Yes, President..."
Liu Zimo clasped his fists at Bai Zhentian respectfully, with a sharp look in his eyes because he heard the meaning of Bai Zhentian's words.
"President Bai, as the saying goes, fists have no eyes, what if I hurt brother Liu?" Hong Chengtai thought Bai Zhentian was defending Liu Zimo, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
Liu Zimo was a troublemaker. When he first entered Hongmen a few years ago, he challenged many people and fought against many people, including Hong Chengtai.
It was just that Liu Zimo had not yet entered the secret power at that time, and his kung fu was far behind Hong Chengtai's. He was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and suffered a terrible loss. It took him more than half a month to recover before he could recover.
That's why Hong Chengtai felt that he had killed Liu Zimo. He wanted to make a serious move later, teach Liu Zimo a lesson, and also give Bai Zhentian a hard slap on his face.
"hehe……"
Bai Zhentian laughed when he heard this and said: "Zi Mo is my fellow apprentice nephew. If you hurt him, you can only blame him for his lack of academic skills. Zi Mo, do you still dare to compete?"
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Zimo curled his lips and said, "If you have the ability, let's sign a life and death certificate?"
"You are so presumptuous that you are competing with your fellow disciples. What kind of life and death certificate will you sign?"
Bai Zhentian glared at Liu Zimo and said sternly: "It's excusable if you miss the opponent in the competition and hurt him. If you dare to kill him, don't blame the sect for being ruthless!"
Having just taken up the position of president, Bai Zhentian still doesn't want to give people the impression of eliminating dissidents. He must use a combination of force and softness to deal with those old guys' subordinates.
"snort!"
Hong Chengtai and Liu Zimo snorted at the same time. Liu Zimo was standing on the court, while Hong Chengtai took off his outer clothes, revealing his bunting clothes underneath.
Although he once beat Liu Zimo until he vomited blood, Hong Chengtai knew that Liu Zimo practiced Bajiquan, which was the most ferocious. In addition, he was young, so he did not dare to be careless at the moment.
"bring it on!"
After Hong Chengtai stood in the middle of the field, he stretched his right foot forward, but his toes lightly stepped on the ground, which was no longer solid. His hands moved forward and back, and his fingers were hook-shaped. His body looked like a big praying mantis.
The boxing stance that Hong Chengtai put on was none other than Mantis Boxing, and the old president of Hongmen was Lu Yangjing’s father, the direct descendant of the Eight-step Praying Mantis Boxing.
The history of Mantis Boxing is not very long. It was created by Wang Langshuo, a martial artist during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Legend has it that when Wang Lang was returning from a martial arts contest and was defeated, he was walking on a country road and accidentally saw a mantis hunting cicadas. He was immediately attracted by the swift and fierce movements of the mantis.
Wang Lang was inspired by this. He captured many praying mantises and kept them at home, and observed their fighting movements every day. A few years later, Wang Lang created the Mantis Boxing that shocked the world.
The characteristics of Mantis Boxing are frontal and side attacks, virtual and real, long and short, hard and soft, and the use of both hands and feet, making it elusive and impossible to guard against.
At that time, Lu Yangjing's father relied on this boxing technique and was called a generation master of Mantis Boxing. However, Lu Yangjing was not a martial arts practitioner, but Hong Chengtai learned many true lessons from the old president.
