Ultimate Soldiers

Chapter 422 Hongmen Conference
In the main hall of Hongmen, more than a dozen elders sat one by one.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Xuebing had already started to scan his surroundings.

From the very beginning, this Hongmen main hall gave him the feeling that it was old, followed by broken, but such an old and dilapidated ancient house became the most important place in Hongmen.

Of course, according to what Hong Antong said, the main hall is much worse than Hongmen's main rudder in terms of pure status.

At the very least, this main hall does not restrict people from entering, as long as they are from the Hongmen, they can come at any time, and they can even come in freely to offer incense to the ancestors of the Hongmen.

That's right, it is Shangxiang. This main hall is not only the Hongmen's meeting hall, but also the main function is to accommodate the spiritual seats of Hongmen's successive organizations.

In other words, this main hall is the ancestral hall of the Hongmen, and all outstanding figures in the Hongmen are eligible to be included in it after death.

Originally, the reason why the place was so empty was to allow the disciples of the Hongmen to come in and offer incense to the ancestors of the past generations.

At this moment, it is obvious that some preparations have been made here. At the top of the main hall, several Eight Immortals tables have been placed, and a few potted plants are placed beside the Eight Immortals tables. With these simple decorations, the whole hall suddenly Looked a lot angrier.

And those elders are lined up at this moment, sitting around the Eight Immortals table.

Scanning the surrounding environment, Zhou Xuebing's eyes immediately fell on these elders.

Obviously, when these elders were young, they should have been famous figures in the Hongmen. Although they are old now, their arrogance has not faded much.

Zhou Xuebing glanced at these elders, and immediately felt the heroic or indifferent temperament they carried.

In particular, Zhou Xuebing was amazed that many of these elders did not seem to be very old, and they looked like they were in their 50s at most.

In this day and age, men in their fifties are still at the peak of their lives, but in Hongmen, after they are in their fifties, they have to hand over power and train the next generation of successors.

Although they can generally be promoted to become elders after withdrawing from the core of power, according to Hong Antong, Zhou Xuebing can see that elders in Hongmen seem to be just a false title, except for their high status, they can manage those in Hongmen. Apart from cumbersome things, there are no other special powers.

But now that Zhou Xuebing swept over these elders, he hardly felt any unwillingness in them.

"Perhaps, these people who have lived in Hongmen since childhood have been used to this kind of power alternation, so they are so indifferent, and don't care about the disappearance of power in their bodies." Zhou Xuebing muttered secretly in his heart.

A person is greatly influenced by the environment.

In Hongmen's environment, it is estimated that there are not many people who love power, and many people should even be looking forward to handing over their power.

After all, as much power comes with as much responsibility, and only after letting go of these powers can these Hongmen children be able to do their own things with peace of mind.

"Hongmen believer Zhou Xuebing stepped forward."

Suddenly, a shout appeared.

Zhao Changrong, who was walking in front of Zhou Xuebing, took a few steps to the front and sat down on a spare chair. Hong Antong turned his head to look at Zhou Xuebing, then turned and stood by the door.

In an instant, Zhou Xuebing was the only one standing in the hall. Opposite him were those elders with strict expressions, and behind him were those young children with excited expressions.

"Hongmen believer Zhou Xuebing stepped forward."

The yelling sound reappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xuebing took a few steps forward, then cupped his fists and saluted those elders and the many Hongmen disciples behind him.

This way of saluting is also learned by Zhou Xuebing from Hong Antong, which is somewhat similar to the way of saluting heroes in martial arts dramas.

"Okay." Seeing Zhou Xuebing's behavior, the young Hongmen disciples burst into applause.

Even the Hongmen elders sitting in front of Zhou Xuebing smiled and nodded at this moment.

After all, Zhou Xuebing was still an outsider at the moment, not a member of the Hongmen, and being able to make such an action showed that Zhou Xuebing was indeed interested in the Hongmen.

But for Zhou Xuebing, the yelling from behind made him feel rather awkward.This feeling is as if I have become a monkey.Moreover, in the current environment, the young Hongmen disciples behind him didn't care about anything, and the scene of talking and laughing casually made him feel uncomfortable.

This is like a company holding a major meeting, but most of the ordinary employees in the company gather at the door of the meeting room to watch the fun, and these ordinary employees can eat melon seeds and drink beer, completely ignoring the bosses and managers inside the door.

Looking back at those smiling young Hongmen disciples, Zhou Xuebing could only helplessly shake his head.

It seems that the atmosphere in the Hongmen is like this, and the relationship between them is quite harmonious.

"Zhou Xuebing."

Suddenly, an elder called out Zhou Xuebing's name.

"You were recommended by Elder Zhao Changrong to join the Hongmen. I, Hongmen, also have your detailed information on my identity. I am talking to you now, just to confirm whether the information is correct."

The elder waved his hand, and the bald young man whom Zhou Xuebing, Zhao Changrong and others had seen before when they came here immediately handed a piece of paper full of handwriting to the elder.

Holding the piece of paper in his hand, the elder began to read.

"Zhou Xuebing, born in 1984, his native place is Jinhai City, China..."

Zhou Xuebing stared at the elder helplessly.

Hongmen's investigation of him was really thorough. I'm afraid even the matter of him playing in the women's toilet when he was a child may have been investigated.

But Zhou Xuebing also knew that Hongmen's investigation was nothing more than to confirm his identity.

After all, the purpose of Hongmen is to revitalize China, but in this era, there are too many white-eyed wolves who don't care about their own nation and compatriots, and instead become puppets of other countries. The traitors were identified.

Especially people like Zhou Xuebing who have been abroad all year round are the key targets of interrogation.

"Zhou Xuebing, I just want to ask you one thing. I, Hongmen, ask you not to do anything that harms China's interests under any circumstances. Can you do it?" After reading Zhou Xuebing's identity check, the elder suddenly After a pause, he stared at Zhou Xuebing and asked.

His expression is very serious. If someone who is not psychologically qualified meets him, he may really be stared at by him and become nervous.

But this kind of gaze is of no use to Zhou Xuebing. After glancing at the elder, Zhou Xuebing nodded decisively.

"Of course it can be done."

"Okay, very good." The elder nodded approvingly, then turned around and sat down again.

"Haha, you old guys, why are you all putting on airs like this? I asked you to come here to see how the little guy I brought here is doing. I didn't ask you to come here to play a big show." Before the second elder could speak , Zhao Changrong, who was sitting on the side, suddenly grinned and cursed.

Immediately, those elders who were sitting on the chairs with serious expressions began to show a bit of helplessness on their faces.

"There are so many young people present, can you, old man, show us some face? You think we are all as old and disrespectful as you are." Several elders curled their lips and quarreled with Zhao Changrong.

"Uh." Zhou Xuebing looked up at the elders a little speechlessly.

Indeed, after being disrupted by Zhao Changrong, the original majesty of these elders disappeared without a trace.

Now Zhou Xuebing understands why those young children outside are so relaxed and at ease, the feelings are all brought out by these elders.

"Okay, Zhou Xuebing, from now on you are a member of the Hongmen, you can discuss with Antong and the others later to confirm your ranking in the Hongmen... well, it depends on yourself It's your ability." The elder who spoke at the beginning probably felt that it was meaningless to continue pretending like this, so he simply waved at Zhou Xuebing directly.

"It's that simple?" Zhou Xuebing stared at the elder in surprise.

Zhao Changrong spent a lot of effort to gather all these elders together. In the end, these elders just came for a cutscene, and settled the matter without even saying a word.

If this is the case, it seems completely useless to gather all these elders.

Zhou Xuebing felt that he was really going crazy. The atmosphere in Hongmen was indeed very easy-going, but right now it was too easy-going.

"Of course it's that simple. It's just a matter of joining the Hongmen. You think it's such a complicated thing. Anyway, as long as you don't do things that are sorry for Huaxia in the future, I, Hongmen, won't bother to care about you... Well, of course the more important thing is to have Elder Zhao will guarantee you, and your background is also innocent enough." The elder nodded and stared.

"It's over, old man Bai, don't talk so much, Zhou Xuebing, you are now a child of my Hongmen. According to the rules, you have to get close to these people of the same generation and in the same school." Zhao Changrong stood up , staring at Zhou Xuebing with a smile.

Of course Zhou Xuebing knew that the intimacy that Zhao Changrong mentioned meant that Zhou Xuebing would fight these young children.

"What?" Zhou Xuebing stared at Zhao Changrong in confusion.

He had been with Zhao Changrong and Hong Antong for the past few days, but they didn't tell Zhou Xuebing that he would fight these young boys after joining Hongmen.

Hearing Zhao Changrong's announcement, those young Hongmen who couldn't wait for a long time rushed in.

"Blood Dragon, I want to challenge you."

Quite a few people stared at Zhou Xuebing with flushed faces as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

When Zhou Xuebing walked in just now, many women cheered him. This kind of cheering is undoubtedly a kind of stimulation to these young men.

But now, they desperately hope to defeat Zhou Xuebing and regain some confidence from Zhou Xuebing.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, this is just for fun, there is no need to take it too seriously." Hong Antong came over at this time.
