"In addition, you may not know that our Mr. Shi is also a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and an earl of the British Empire. He has a net worth of billions and industries all over Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. This alone can leave many opponents in the dust!"
Yan Xiong's words were true and false, but everyone in Hongmen took a breath of air.
Yan Xiong became more and more energetic as he talked, and directly recounted Shi Zhijian's "great achievements" since his debut.
If the people above are not familiar with Shi Zhijian, then through Yan Xiong's eloquent introduction, the image of Shi Zhijian as a tycoon has already appeared on the page, which shocked Hong Shisan and others.
A young man can actually achieve what he has achieved today from scratch with five or six years of hard work. What is he other than a genius?
"Now you should understand why I said that this operation will definitely be successful, right? With him as my backer and the Chaozhou Gang's backer, it is imperative to eradicate the Razor Party this time!" Yan Xiong showed what he was like when he was one of the four detectives
The momentum, the eyes are burning, and there is a cold light!
Hong Kun was also infected by Yan Xiong's aura, and he slapped his chest and said: "Even a small gang like our Chaozhou Gang dares to take a gamble. Don't you dare to give it a try?"
The method of stimulating generals really worked. Before Hong Shisan opened his mouth, the four guardians could no longer bear it. They stood up and said:
"Who said we don't dare to fight?"
"It's just the Razor Party, we Hongmen haven't taken it seriously yet!"
"Yes, so what if they have a big backer like the Apostles? We Hongmen are definitely not afraid!"
"Since you're not afraid, let's borrow troops!" Seeing that his goal was achieved, Yan Xiong took the opportunity to say, "Borrow troops to us, and we will be the vanguard, letting those ghost guys see the majesty of our Chinese community!"
When Hong Shisan saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't stop him. Yan Xiong was such a genius that he managed to get the four guardians into trouble with just a few words!
What's more, Hong Shisan is very ambitious and wants to take a gamble and let those ghost guys see how powerful their Hongmen is!
Having been operating overseas for so many years, Hong Shisan has a deep understanding of the truth that fairness, justice, and righteousness are all achieved with fists!
Of course, these are all secondary. Hong Shisan’s ability to become the leader of the Hong Clan was not obtained by showing off his qualifications through loyalty. He also relied on his good calculations——
If the Chaozhou Gang can take over the East End of London this time, Hongmen can directly develop their power from the West End and officially plant their flag in the East End!
Compared with the barrenness of the West District, the East District is a Feng Shui treasure land full of bars, nightclubs, and dance halls!
When the time comes, the Hongmen will eat the bulk and leave some thin soup and minced meat for the Chaozhou Gang. Why not?
Thinking of this, Hong Shisan stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Come here! Get up and borrow troops!"
…
Borrowing troops between societies is definitely a big deal.
Getting up from the altar, paying homage to the mountain gate, and asking for directions are all the rules of the world.
As a Hongmen leader, Hong Shisan will of course not preside over the ceremony himself. Instead, he will let one of the four guardians serve as the master of ceremonies, which is the legendary "guide".
"The entrance to Hongmen Hall has been opened, please take a step forward from the Chaozhou Gang!"
After all, Yan Xiong is not a Jianghu person. He is not good at this kind of Jianghu military borrowing ceremony, so he asked Hong Kun to take his place.
At this time, the troops brought by Hong Kun were also let in. Under the leadership of Hong Kun, Dao Zaihao, Long Kui and others stepped forward.
As spectators, Yan Xiong, Ax Jun and Hong Men stood in two rows with serious expressions.
It is said that since Zheng Chenggong opened Jintai Mountain and established Ming Yuantang, Hongmen has always held high the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming. Hongmen brothers have been engaged in the anti-Qing cause one after another. Cai Dezhong and Fang Dahong, who are known as the "Fifth Patriarch" and also known as the "Five Patriarchs of Shaolin"
, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, and Li Shikai, after the failure of the Honghuating Uprising in the 13th year of Kangxi's reign, discussed dispersing to various places and developing their own, establishing five ancestral halls to expand and retain the strength to resist the Qing Dynasty, and left a poem as a reference for the future
The code word for the appointment of brothers: "Five people separated and wrote a poem, and no one knew about their greatness. This matter was spread to all the brothers, and they later met and reunited."
At this moment, in front of the Fifth Ancestor of Hongmen, in addition to the previous melon and fruit sacrifices, there was now a roasted suckling pig.
The incense candles in the incense burner have also become thick and long sacrificial incense candles, making the whole place filled with smoke and full of mystery.
"Visitors who come to stay, please tell me your name!"
"Chaozhou Gang, Hong Kun!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Borrow troops!"
"How to borrow a law?"
Hong Kun suddenly made several gestures with his hands, and his feet followed the gestures and walked across the five elements. Then he clasped his fists and said to the altar: "The family of Red Lotus and White Lotus Root is divided into five families in Fengyunji, and I am one of the dragons."
Dragon, trapped in the shallows, asking for help!"
Hearing this, the protector turned around and offered incense to the altar to worship. Then he took a sword and a seal from the hand of the maid next to him, and sang: "The sword is the Hongmen sword, and the seal is the Hongmen seal. When you enter my Zhonghua Building, you are my
guest."
"Guest, come forward! Accept the sword and get the seal!"
Hong Kun took two steps forward, and the protector picked up a long knife and patted Hong Kun's back twice, which meant that he was a close friend of life and death. Only close friends of life and death were eligible to borrow troops.
Then he picked up the Hongmen seal and put a big red blood seal on Hong Kun's arm, which meant that he was sincere and would not regret it!
After doing all this, the protector took back the long sword seal, turned around and knelt down in front of the altar, and said to the memorial tablet of the fifth ancestor of Hongmen: "On Gengshen Day, Dingwei month of the Renzi year, Chaozhou helped Hong Kun's dragon sink into the shallows.
, I have come to Hongmen to borrow troops, and please ask my ancestors to express it clearly!"
Next to him, Axe Jun couldn't help but ask Yan Xiong: "The fifth ancestor of Hongmen has been dead for hundreds of years, how can you make it clear?"
Yan Xiong's face turned pale with fright: "Shut up, don't be heard! Don't underestimate this kind of ceremony, it is very solemn and solemn - I really wonder how you got into the world?"
"Of course I rely on my fists!" Axejun said unconvinced, "I don't like so many ghosts!"
"What the hell are you talking about? There are tricks to these!" Yan Xiong felt that it was necessary to teach Ax Jun, a stupid young man, "You know what I'm saying, these are classic routines in the world! They can still be used after hundreds of years.
There is absolutely a reason for endless life!"
"What's the point?"
"The principle is - use rituals to confuse believers, use slogans to deceive the people, and then use money and beautiful women to win people's hearts... When you understand these, you can also be the ancestor of Hongmen!"
By this time the ceremony had come to an end.
After getting the instructions from the ancestors, the protector who was the guide sang to Hong Kun: "The ancestors passed down a poem with the word wind: I am the wind but not the wind. The five-color flags are in the fight. The dragon, tiger, turtle, and snake on the left meet, and the tiger and longevity on the right merge together.
Same! Please help everyone from Chaozhou come forward to worship our ancestors!"
Dao Zaihao, Long Kui and others came forward and, under the leadership of Hong Kun, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the memorial tablet of the Fifth Ancestor of Hongmen on the altar, before kneeling down.
"How many troops do you need to borrow?" the protector asked.
"Borrow a thousand troops!" Hong Kun replied.
"The rules of the rivers and lakes are to borrow one thousand troops and send out eight hundred! Eight hundred warriors rush to Chaozhou and fight side by side in a bloody battle!"
After the protector finished singing, he condescendingly asked the kneeling Hong Kun: "Do you want to borrow it or not?"
"borrow!"
"The resettlement allowance is based on one thousand people, is it acceptable?"
"have to!"
"Is it possible to get three thousand pounds for one person to settle down?"
"have to!"
"What if there is any violation?"
"The sky is thundering!"
"Okay! Let's make a blood alliance now!"
The waitress next to her handed over a rooster, and the protector brought it over. Holding a knife in his left hand, he read out the "Poetry of Killing the Phoenix" to everyone in the Chaozhou Gang: "When the wind phoenix cries, blood is poured into the bowl! Brothers, with a glass of wine, you will never look back!"
After saying that, she picked up the knife and dropped the chicken head to the ground. The waitress held out a white porcelain bowl that had been filled with 70% of the white wine in both hands, and caught the dripping chicken blood. Hong Kun and others stood up and took the blood wine and looked at what was going on.
The protector of "the guide".
The protector also picked up the blood wine and shouted: "Faith comes first, never leave!"
Hong Kun and others then shouted: "Faith comes first, never give up!"
Guardian: "Breaking oath?"
Hong Kun and others: "The sky is struck by lightning!"
"Dry!"
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked their glasses,
Drink it all in one gulp.
…
As the most famous theater in the UK, the London Grand Theater was once a gathering place for British aristocrats to gather for leisure and entertainment.
As the British Empire lost its former glory and the aristocracy also declined, this famous grand theater became a good place for many ordinary people to come and have fun.
Today, Shinhwa Entertainment's first movie "Blair Witch" will be released here.
As a low-cost movie, the total investment in filming this movie was only 30,000 pounds, but Shinhwa Entertainment spent as much as 100,000 pounds on publicity and distribution expenses for this movie.
When Shi Zhijian took a bus to the Grand Theater, the theater was already crowded with people.
Everyone who got the news knew that there was a movie to be shown here tonight, but most of them came not for the movie, but for the nobles and celebrities who came to watch the movie!
The person who helped drive was Shi Zhijian's good friend Hong John. Hong John looked out the window, quickly retracted his head, and said to Shi Zhijian sitting next to him: "It exploded, there are so many people!"
Shi Zhijian nodded: "It's dangerous if it doesn't explode. I spent so much time on publicity!"
"We'd better get off the car through the back door, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in from the front!"
"It doesn't matter, we can also get close to the British people!"
In this way, Shi Zhijian and Hong John got out of the car in fear. They imagined that reporters would swarm in, and people would line up on both sides to welcome them. Then the water would be so tight that they could not squeeze through the scene——
But--
The surroundings were still noisy, but people turned a blind eye to their arrival.
Just now, John Hong was afraid of being mobbed by the public and blocked by reporters, but now he was filled with disappointment, "No way, after all, you and I are also celebrities, but there isn't even anyone cheering or shouting?"
"I'm wrong. I'm not a celebrity. I've never been in newspapers!" Shi Zhijian quickly corrected him.
"Ahem," John Hong was even more embarrassed. He was often in the newspapers, but no one still paid attention to him.
"Maybe they are blind..."
"So many people are blind?" Shi Zhijian corrected John Hong again.
"Maybe my face is too popular, yes, it must be like this!"
"Okay, Mr. John Hong, who has a popular face, let's go in first! Look how many guests have come!" Shi Zhijian urged John Hong to stop fantasizing and go in quickly to get down to business.
Just when the two were about to take a step, they heard the crowd shout: "Wow, God, that's Mr. Jester!"
"Yes, that's him! CEO of Shinhwa Entertainment!"
The crowd roared, like a tide rushing not far away.
John Hong craned his neck and saw that it was Jester who came to the Grand Theater with director Spielberg and the creative team.
The reporters and media immediately surrounded them and pursued them for interviews.
When John Hong saw this, he felt sad!
Shi Zhijian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, don't think so much! Look at me, no one pays attention to me just like you!"
"How come you and I are the same? You are afraid of being noticed, but I want to be noticed but can't get it?"
"Stop being so childish! At worst, I'll have someone give you a private speech during the premiere, the kind that goes on stage, letting everyone know that you, John Hong, are my right-hand man, Shi Zhijian!"
"Are you serious, don't lie to me?"
"Why do you care so much about fame and fortune? Don't you think it's superficial?"
"You just know that I am a superficial person! I turned to you just for fame and fortune!"
Shi Zhijian was speechless.
Over there, Jester and others were still surrounded by reporters and people. Shi Zhijian and Hong John were bickering and just walked to the entrance of the Grand Theater when they heard another landslide and tsunami behind them: "Wow, God! Big star Michelle!
"
"Michelle is here! Oh my god, she is so beautiful!"
Shi Zhijian was surprised. He had the impression that he was afraid that Michelle would be too famous and steal the spotlight from tonight's movie, so he didn't send her an invitation.
When John Hong saw Shi Zhijian looking at him, he coughed twice: "I admit, it was me! She is so famous, I feel sorry for myself if I don't take advantage of it!"
Shi Zhijian rolled his eyes: "What do you think now, is what you did right or wrong?"
John Hong looked at Michelle, who was surrounded by people, and the reporters who were interviewing Jester and others. At this moment, they all ran to interview Michelle. The creative staff seemed very lonely.
"I feel... wrong!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, said no more, turned around and walked straight into the Grand Theater.
Hong John hurriedly caught up: "You don't even comfort me. Are you still a good brother if you can correct your mistakes after you realize them?"
Not far away, the big star Michelle, surrounded by media reporters and the public, answered questions from reporters and signed autographs for fans. During this period, she stood on tiptoes several times and raised her neck to look for that handsome figure.
But none of them are available.
When she finally found the shadow, Shi Zhijian and John Hong had already entered the theater hall.
Michelle felt a sense of loss in her heart. As the queen of European and American pop music, Michelle's career is now booming, with fans all over the world.
Numerous record companies offered her olive branches, but Michelle insisted on continuing to cooperate with Shinhwa Entertainment.
Countless celebrities and dignitaries courted her and wanted to kiss her, but she rejected them one by one because there was always a shadow in her heart that she couldn't let go of.
Yes, that person's talent, that person's demeanor, and that person's amazing status were enough to make her, a big star, obsessed!
"Yes! For him, I will give everything!"
Michelle withdrew her hopeful gaze and once again strengthened her belief in her heart!
