Chapter Eighty-Six: Conformism
Wen Youbei glanced at Feng Qingwan lightly, but he didn't say anything else. I saw him retract his gaze, and then said lightly: "Geng Zheng is in the West Hall at this time, and I will let the disciple take you over later." ”
After saying this, Wen Youbei stopped looking at the pavilion. Without saying a word, he continued to walk forward. Zhu Youcai, who was following him, didn't know why, seeing this, he thought that Feng Qingwan had annoyed Wen Youbei, and secretly despised these boys in his heart. Seeing that Wen Youbei was already in front, he quickly took a few steps and kept up with Wen Youbei's pace. Before leaving, he glanced at Feng Qingwan and snorted lightly, full of disdain.
Feng Qingwan shrugged her shoulders slightly, but didn't say anything more, turned her head and glanced at the pavilion on the other side of the four girls, then stepped away, and soon followed the direction Wen Youbei and them left. And Chen Hanyu smiled at the four women on the other side of the pavilion, and raised his voice: "See you later!" Then called Yan Jiansong and Jiang Miaoran, and soon left the sight of the women.
When the surroundings returned to tranquility again, You Qingshang, Zhen Yingying and Ding Jianling retracted their guard and turned their eyes to Xiao Jing.
"Sister Xiaojing, what you just told them has something to do with you?" You Qingsheng was the first to break the silence and asked in an inquiring tone.
Xiao Jing shook her head in confusion: "I don't know...... Maybe it was that time that the people of their beggar gang were taught a lesson by Brother Qingwan, so the old man held a grudge!"
"Oh, is there anything else going on?" Ding Jianling became interested as soon as she heard this. Look at her with her chin in her hands, and look at Xiao Ying with straight eyes.
"Well, that's how it was at the time......" Xiao Jing then told the three of them everything about the matter. However, since several of them are now in the territory of the beggar gang, and there is no one among them who is proficient in the formation and can lay down a soundproof array like Chen Hanyu. So the third daughter didn't let Xiao Jing go into too much detail, just roughly understood what was going on.
"In this way, the old man is Wen Youbei, and he plans to give his precious son an outlet...... Zhen Yingying said.
"Hmph! give birth to a straw bale and raise it as a baby...... It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world. Ding Jianling sneered.
However, Xiao Jing was worried: "So, didn't Xiao Jing cause trouble to Brother Qingwan?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, You Qingshang smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of, there are sisters to support you!"
Xiao Jing's face was happy when she heard this: "Really?"
"Lie to you that you're a puppy!" Ding Jianling grinned, then stretched out his little thumb, "Come on!"
This trick worked very well, and Xiao Jing immediately became happy and hooked her little finger on Ding Jianling's little finger. And You Qingshang and Zhen Yingying also followed suit, and the four of them shouted together: "Pull the hook, hang yourself, a hundred years, don't change!" Then a silver bell-like laughter came out of the pavilion and surrounded the sky over this garden for a long time......
On the other side, except for Feng Qingwan, who said that he wanted to bring a message to Geng Zheng before, he had already separated from Chen Hanyu and others at this time. As soon as Chen Hanyu and the remaining three of them came out of Wen Youbei's reception room, they walked towards the middle hall non-stop. It was a resting place prepared by the beggar gang for those of them who came to participate in the election meeting of the beggar gang leader, and because the entire beggar gang general altar occupied a large area, that place was still quite far from their current location.
"Heh~" After walking not far, Yan Jiansong suddenly snorted disdainfully: "The surname is Wen, he obviously doesn't trust us, but he has to put on a hospitable appearance, it's really hypocritical!"
As soon as he said this, he was immediately recognized by Jiang Miaoran: "It is said that Wen Youbei Chengfu is very deep and is a villain, I am afraid that at this time he wants to win the support of more forces, so that he can be the leader of the beggar gang in a grand manner." ”
"The key is that he doesn't know the current affairs, and he offended the children of our big forces, but he went to deal with a rich man like Zhu Youcai. Yan Jiansong seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Wen Youbei, and he was still chattering there: "What kind of thing is Zhu Youcai? I think if this beggar gang falls into his hands, it will be a big trouble......
"Alas~" Chen Hanyu, who was walking in front, sighed helplessly, "Brother Yan, you don't have to say it so loudly, this is still someone else's territory!"
"I'm just not happy in my heart!" Yan Jiansong spat at the mouth, "When I see his pretentious ...... now," he was about to say something excited, when he suddenly paused. No longer making a sound, his expression became cautious.
At the same time, Chen Hanyu and Jiang Miaoran also stopped suddenly. Without making eye contact, the trio quickly ducked to a place against a wall. With a wave of his hand, Chen Hanyu rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground, and spelled out a special pattern in front of the three of them, thus forming a simple stealth array.
"Let's go, why don't you go quickly?" a shout came from afar.
After a short while, two beggar disciples turned out from a corner next to them and appeared in the field of vision of Chen Hanyu and the others. These two people were in rags, and at first glance they knew that they were people from the dirty clothes faction. And a cloth bag hanging from their waists clearly shows the identity and status of these two people, who are just two one-bag disciples of the beggar gang.
In addition to the two first-generation disciples, Chen Hanyu and the others who were hidden in the formation, they also saw an old woman who was hobbling. The old woman carried a broken bamboo basket full of oranges on her right shoulder, and looked like a fruit seller. At this moment, she was pushed all the way by the two men, staggering forward. And on her face, in addition to the look of sadness and pain, it was full of helplessness.
"Hey~ these two people ......" Yan Jiansong was immediately indignant when he saw the two beggar disciples treating an old woman like this. I saw his eyes wide, and he took a step forward with his left foot to step out of the formation. However, Chen Hanyu's eyes were quick, and he immediately reached out to stop him.
"Brother Yan," Seeing Yan Jiansong frowning and looking at him, Chen Hanyu hurriedly explained in a low voice: "This is the general altar of the beggar gang, before we figure out the matter, we should not act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes." ”
And just as Chen Hanyu said this, "Poof!", the old lady was pushed violently by one of the beggar disciples, and her body fell to the ground before she could stand firmly, and the oranges in the basket spilled on the ground.
Before Chen Hanyu could say anything more, Yan Jiansong's body moved, and he had already turned into a white shadow and appeared in front of a bag of disciples of the two beggar gangs. Those two one-bag disciples only had the strength of the third-rate realm, and they didn't even see the situation in front of them clearly, they were blown out by Yan Jiansong with a sleeve and fell to the ground.
Yan Jiansong looked angry, but the strength of his sleeve was controlled just right. The two disciples just fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, and without even suffering a single skin injury, they immediately got up from the ground, pointed at Yan Jiansong's nose and scolded: "What are you, dare to come to the beggar gang to make trouble?"
"On behalf of your future helper, I will teach you a lesson!" Yan Jiansong said plainly, but there was an invisible oppressive force in his eyes. I only saw that the two disciples were frightened and trembling, but they even forgot to turn around and run away.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind several people: "Who is so bold as to dare to come to my beggar gang to cause trouble?"
Before the words fell, a gray-robed figure had already appeared in front of Yan Jiansong. I saw that this person was dressed in tatters and had a mediocre appearance, but his eyes were shining, and his profound skills were hidden but not leaked, and he knew that he was a master at a glance.
"Point Yan Jiansong?" As soon as the man saw Yan Jiansong's face, his body was stunned, and he asked with some confirmation.
"Exactly!" Yan Jiansong replied, "Geng Zheng of the Beggar Gang!"
The two of them were obviously not very familiar with each other. Although they are all masters of the Eighteen Masters of the Young Eagles, looking at the way they are now, these two people obviously have never met, but they have just seen each other's portraits and have an impression.
"It's Xiao Sheng!" Geng Zheng nodded, and then asked, "Didn't the rivers and lakes rumor that Yan Gongzi was missing......?
"I just came back not long ago......" Yan Jiansong was obviously unwilling to say anything more on this topic.
"Senior Brother...... one of the two beggars ran to Geng Zheng's side, "Senior Brother...... This is the man who dares to openly do something to my beggars......"
"Shut up!" Geng Zheng said lightly.
After speaking, Geng Zheng arched his hand towards Yan Jiansong again and said, "Senior brother is ignorant, please forgive Yan Gongzi." ”
"Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he came out to take care of it......," Yan Jiansong said expressionlessly, "Brother Geng, don't let them go like this......"
"Yan Gongzi misunderstood!" Geng Zheng said, "I asked the two of them to invite this old woman out." ”
"Oh?" these words were obviously beyond Yan Jiansong's expectations, "Why?"
"Yan Gongzi doesn't know anything......," Geng Zheng explained, "Today is the day of the general election of the leader of my beggar gang, and according to the rules, idle people are not allowed to enter the main altar." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the old woman again: "It's just that this old woman has to pass by this way, and she won't listen to what she says." In desperation, I asked my disciples to invite her out. ”
Yan Jiansong frowned, turned his head to look at the old woman, and when the old woman saw Yan Jiansong looking at her, she immediately cried bitterly: "Hero, you can do it! My husband is seriously ill, I have to go to the city to ask a doctor to get medicine for him!"
"Madam, I have already said it, this is the rule of the gang, and no one inside or outside is allowed to enter the main altar today!" Geng Zheng persuaded again.
"Hero, you can do it......, okay! He...... He's really dying...... This disease can't be delayed!"
"Is there no other way to get into the city?" Yan Jiansong asked.
"Hero, do you know anything...... the old woman sobbed, "we who live in the mountains, and there is only one way to enter the city...... This road used to be passed by the villagers, why can't it be today!"
"Madam, I'm ......" Geng Zheng was about to explain again, but Yan Jiansong was a little impatient: "I said Brother Geng, why don't you let this old woman pass?"
"No!" Geng Zheng immediately refused, "There is an order in the gang, and Geng Zheng can't make claims without permission." ”
"Wouldn't it be okay for you to find two disciples to take her out?" Yan Jiansong frowned, "If it really doesn't work, I'll serve!"
"You can't ...... it," Geng Zheng still shook his head, "The help order is like a mountain, and Geng Zheng can't do it." ”
"Oh, you're not annoying!" Yan Jiansong's voice couldn't help but get louder, "What kind of tattered rules, won't it become a matter if you change it?"
"Yan Gongzi, don't say that......" Geng Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Geng Zheng is not the gang leader now, so he can't change the gang rules without permission......"
"Ahem......"
Hearing the coughing sound coming from behind him, Geng Zheng immediately turned his head. But I saw that behind him, I don't know when there were already two people standing, it was Chen Hanyu and Jiang Miaoran who were hiding in the formation before.
"Rules are dead, people are alive, as a candidate for the leader of the beggar gang, you don't know how to be flexible when you encounter problems?" Chen Hanyu's voice was obviously dissatisfied.
Chen Hanyu has been patient with these two people for a long time, and human lives are at stake, and these two people still have the leisure to refute here. If it weren't for Chen Hanyu's strong psychological endurance, he would have jumped out of the formation a long time ago, and he wouldn't stop without scolding Geng Zheng's unenlightened head.
"When did the two of you come here, why don't you say anything?" Geng Zheng was obviously a little unhappy, "The gang rules stipulate that no one is allowed to set up a formation at the main altar without authorization on the day of the gang leader's election. ”
"There are so many messy rules in your gang, how can I know?" Chen Hanyu's face was a little ugly, is this not clear about finding trouble for himself?
"This son, what do you mean by that?" Geng Zheng's voice became stern, "If you are not a friend of the beggar gang, please go out and ......"
"You ......" Chen Hanyu was about to have a seizure, but Jiang Miaoran saw that the form was not right, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, a few people are angry, don't quarrel." ”
Then, Jiang Miaoran walked up to the old woman, reached out and took out a small wooden box from his arms: "I have a miracle medicine for all diseases here, so let's take it for you to treat your husband first!"
Before the old woman could react to Jiang Miaoran's move, Yan Jiansong had already shouted to this side: "Hey, Brother Jiang, you are a rare rare elixir in the world, you can think clearly!"
"It's okay......" Jiang Miaoran said lightly, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”
At this time, the old woman was staring at the wooden box in front of her, her face full of excitement. Then, she knelt in front of Jiang Miaoran with a "poof", kowtowed to him a few times and said, "Great benefactor...... You are truly my great benefactor!"
"No thanks, please ......," Jiang Miaoran said, reaching out to help the old woman.
The old woman wiped away her tears and her face was full of joy. She thanked Jiang Miaoran again and again, and then held the wooden box, as if holding her beloved thing, and staggered away, with a happy smile on her face.
Seeing the old woman's back disappear in front of everyone's eyes, Chen Hanyu withdrew his gaze, glanced at Geng Zheng lightly, and continued to walk forward without saying a word. Yan Jiansong's face was gloomy, and he didn't continue to talk to Geng Zheng, and quickly kept up with Chen Hanyu's pace.
When the two of them were gone, Jiang Miaoran looked at Geng Zheng. smiled slightly and said hello before slowly saying: "Actually, everyone is kind, you don't have to make things so stiff at all......"
"I didn't do anything wrong," Geng Zheng snorted coldly, "The rules of the door are like this, and if I am a disciple, I should abide by it." ”
Jiang Miaoran shook his head: "But it's not like this, it's completely ruthless, there is no room for maneuver......"
"That's enough!" Geng Zheng interrupted Jiang Miaoran coldly, "Geng Zheng is a person, even if he is like this, he does not disobey the orders of the teacher and does not violate the door rules, if you are not used to seeing it, you don't have to pay attention to it." After speaking, he didn't give Jiang Miaoran a chance to speak again, and said, "Farewell!" and then turned around and walked towards another road.
Looking at Geng Zheng's departing figure, Jiang Miaoran smiled helplessly: "Alas~ Brother Geng Zheng, it's good to respect the teacher and obey the order, but you can't be so conformist, if you go on like this, you are destined to suffer a big loss in the future......"
