Chapter Ninety-Four: The Unexpected
"Little Girl, are you willing to be the leader of my beggar gang?" Yi Zhong walked up to Xiao Jing and asked sincerely.
The scene was silent......
"No!" Fang Chengjun was the first to slow down, and his face suddenly became gloomy, "The leader of the beggar gang naturally has to be selected from the people in the gang. Why did a yellow-haired girl of unknown origin become a candidate for help?"
"Just rely on this dog repellent stick in her hand!" Yi Zhong turned around, stared at Fang Chengjun with his eyes, and said slowly.
"Hehehe~" Fang Chengjun sneered a few times, "Just because you have a dog repellent, you can become the leader of the beggar gang." Elder Yi, what you said is too unconvincing. ”
"The old man will put his words here today, no matter who you are today, don't try to stop the little girl from becoming the leader of my beggar gang. ”
"Yi Zhong!" Fang Chengjun slapped his chair and stood up. I saw that his face was gloomy, and he pointed at Yi Zhong and said coldly: "You are horizontal, in the end are you the substitute helper or I am the substitute helper." ”
Everyone can see that Fang Chengjun's attitude towards Yizhong at this time is very different from before. Facing Yi Zhong before, no matter how indifferent Yi Zhong's attitude was, he greeted him with a smile, a magnanimous and informal appearance. And now, he seems to have finally been provoked by Yi Zhong, angry, and began to fight against Yi Zhong.
Thinking about it, it seems that it is not wrong, as the acting leader of the beggar gang, he Fang Chengjun should have the status of the first person of the beggar gang for a while. Ke Yizhong's attitude towards him was very indifferent, not at all like treating Fang Chengjun as a beggar gang leader, but treating Fang Chengjun as an enemy.
Chen Hanyu and the others didn't know what was going on between Yi Zhong and Fang Chengjun, they didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and they couldn't jump to conclusions. At this moment, seeing that the two of them were arguing, they didn't know which side to persuade. Therefore, they had no choice but to remain silent and wait for the two of them to calm down first.
"Senior, don't be a helper. Suddenly, the crunchy sound of the little beetle sounded.
This sentence was more effective than any persuasion, and Fang Chengjun and Yi Zhong immediately stopped arguing. Yi Zhong's face was a little puzzled, he looked at Xiao Jing, and asked suspiciously, "Why is this girl?"
"I ...... I am...... Don't ......" was stared at by so many masters, Xiao Wei only felt hairy all over, and he was stumbling for a long time, but he still didn't say why. In the end, it was Feng Qingwan who spoke: "Elder Yi, Xiao Jing is still a little girl who has not done anything, how can she take on the responsibility of the leader of a gang." ”
"Ability is all exercised!" Yi Zhong smiled slightly, first answered Feng Qingwan's words, and then said to Xiao Jing: "Little Jing girl, it's not that the old man is embarrassing you, but that you really have an indissoluble bond with this dog repellent." You are the leader of this gang. ”
Fang Chengjun snorted coldly: "You say that if you belong to him, you have to belong to him?" You have the sole authority to decide the major affairs of the gang, how to convince the disciples and the people in the rivers and lakes outside?"
"The old man naturally doesn't dare to dictate power," Yi Zhong said lightly, "There is a clear provision in the gang rules that anyone who can control the dog repelling stick can become the leader of the beggar gang." ”
Yi Zhong's words made Chen Hanyu and the others stunned, they didn't expect that there were such peculiar gang rules in the gang rules of the beggar gang, did it mean that as long as they could use dog repellent sticks, they could become the gang leader?
Fang Chengjun looked at Yi Zhong with contempt: "Yes, there is indeed such a rule in the gang rules, but that is to be able to control the dog driving stick, not to use the dog driving stick, why do you think that girl can control the dog driving stick, not just use it?"
"With the trick she showed on stage, she drove away dogs!" Yi Zhong said categorically.
As if he felt that his words could not convince everyone, Yi Zhong began to explain the reason again: "Think about it, for so many thirty-six years, countless masters of the peerless realm, they have tried their best to think and try their best, but in the end they have not been able to enter the Qingfeng Ancient Cave. As for the little beetle, there was no one to guide her, and no one even told her the specific location of the Qingfeng Ancient Cave, but why was she able to enter it easily? Similarly, the dog-driving stick method is a peerless study of the beggar gang, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn one-tenth of its essence even if they have practiced for a lifetime, and the little nettle girl, a woman who has not studied and may not have been exposed to martial arts, can borrow the power left in the stick to exert the strength of the top middle and high-grade masters just by virtue of having a relationship with this dog-driving stick...... He seemed to become a little excited as he spoke, "The old man doesn't believe in theology, but the old man can predict that the little girl will be the mainstay of my beggar gang in the future." ”
"Hahaha!" Fang Chengjun suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "What a mainstay, I don't think there is a need to hold the election meeting of this gang leader, and now directly announce the succession of the new gang leader." After speaking, Fang Chengjun didn't wait for others to react, and walked straight and quickly outside, stepping out of the threshold without looking back.
As soon as Fang Chengjun left, several other elders also left the inner hall. Then Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei also walked out, and only Yi Zhong and Chen Hanyu were left in the main hall.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the inner hall was a little awkward, Chen Hanyu stood up, first bowed to Yi Zhong, and then asked, "Elder Yi, what you just said is true?"
Yi Zhong glanced at Chen Hanyu and said lightly: "What, do you think the old man is lying to you?"
"Elder Yi is angry, the younger generation doesn't mean that. Chen Hanyu hurriedly explained, "Forgive the words of the younger generation, the little girl is really young, and the beggar gang is a big gang, which needs to be managed by an elder." ”
Seeing that Yi Zhong didn't speak, Chen Hanyu said again: "Besides, Elder Yi chose Little Jing Girl this time, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to convince the public, if those big forces come to Elder Yi to ask for explanations......
"Lord Chen," Yi Zhong interrupted Chen Hanyu's words, "Do you think Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei, who is suitable to be the leader of this beggar gang?"
"Maybe the old man's question is a little abrupt......" Yi Zhong didn't wait for Chen Hanyu to answer, turned around and looked in the direction of the door, "But in the old man's opinion, the two of them may not be suitable." ”
Yi Zhong's words surprised Chen Hanyu, he didn't expect that Yi Zhong was not optimistic about Geng Zheng, he originally thought that Yi Zhong would also stand on Geng Zheng's side, after all, he was the descendant of the previous gang leader, and he should be the heir of the gang leader.
Chen Hanyu now understands why Yizhong did not vote on stage at that time. Perhaps in Yi Zhong's heart, he has long been disappointed with the incoming beggar gang leader of this session, whether it is Geng Zheng or Wen Youbei.
"Therefore, Elder Yi hopes that a new candidate will appear, who can surpass Geng Zheng and Wen Youbei and bring hope to the beggar gang. Zhen Yingying said thoughtfully.
"Xiao Jing is young, although he has not practiced martial arts, he is simple and kind-hearted, and this alone is incomparable to Geng Wen and the others. You Qingshang also nodded.
"That's right," Yi Zhong nodded, and said slowly, "Little Girl, with outstanding qualifications and good quality, is a malleable talent. It has a great relationship with dog repellents. The old man felt that the little girl was the best choice for the master. ”
"But Elder Yi, Xiao Wei is an outsider after all, and if he wants to serve as the leader of the beggar gang, I am afraid that the opponents are especially the majority. Feng Qingwan said worriedly.
"Oh, you can rest assured. Yi Zhong smiled and said: "Seeing the stick is like seeing the gang leader, this is the gang rule of my beggar gang." Now that the little girl can control the dog repellent, she should become the helper. At this point, the disciples will not object. ”
"As for the various sects, the forces of the rivers and lakes. Yi Zhong then sneered, "In their eyes, who doesn't think that my beggar gang is a good fat meat? Holding an election meeting is just to give them a face, and the beggar gang decides the affairs of their own gang, are they afraid that they will turn the sky upside down?"
Chen Hanyu and the others were silent, looking at Yi Zhong's appearance, it seemed that they had decided to want Xiao Jing to be the helper. In fact, this is not a bad thing, it is naturally a good thing to be the leader of such a big gang as the beggar gang, but everyone is relieved that Xiaojing can't afford it, and I don't know if she can afford this responsibility.
Just when everyone was silent, Chen Hanyu and the others suddenly moved in their hearts, and at the same time turned their heads and looked towards the outside of the inner hall.
"Yi Zhong, what are you trying to do hiding inside, you old immortal?" a very rude shout came from the door.
But in a moment, one foot stepped in, and a chubby figure appeared in front of everyone, but it was Zhu Youcai, the leader of the Fugui Gang.
Immediately afterwards, many people walked in from the outside. Almost all the people in the rivers and lakes who came to participate in the election of the leader of the beggar gang rushed into this inner temple together. Chen Hanyu roughly counted, and there were more than 200 people here, showing off their might, this is to put pressure on Yizhong?
Zhu Youcai stood at the front of this group of people, and the expression on his face was the most arrogant, only to see him pointing at Yi Zhong and saying loudly: "Yi Lao, everyone is here today, you'd better tell us clearly." The position of the leader of the beggar gang, why give it to a stinky girl who doesn't know anything. ”
"Zhu Youcai, this is the territory of the beggar gang, and I can't tolerate you being so presumptuous!" Chen Hanyu's eyes flickered, he took a step forward, stared at Zhu Youcai and said coldly.
Chen Hanyu's eyes had a cold breath, where could Zhu Youcai bear it, he couldn't help but be stared at by Chen Hanyu in a cold sweat, he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to refute, so he had to snort coldly: "Hmph! What about the patrol envoys of the six gates, there are so many masters here today, and they don't have to listen to you." ”
After Zhu Youcai said this, he hurriedly turned around and retreated to the back, seeing this, Chen Hanyu sneered in his heart: "I can't even speak clearly, the guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard." ”
Chen Hanyu despises people like Zhu Youcai, and rushes to the front as soon as he is in the limelight, and dares to scold Yi Zhong directly because of the large number of people behind him. In the end, he intimidated him a little, and immediately escaped with his tail between his legs, throwing the mess directly to those behind him.
But then, Chen Hanyu couldn't help but become solemn. He looked down on Zhu Youcai, but he didn't dare not pay attention to the few people behind Zhu Youcai.
Standing at the forefront now are the three masters of the righteous path. Master Duwen of Shaolin Temple, Shenming Daoist of Wudang School, and Cheng Xu, the shopkeeper of Tianjiao Pawnshop.
These three people are all top-notch masters, among them, Master Duwen of Shaolin has a little friendship with Chen Hanyu, and Wudang Shenming Daoist and Chen Hanyu are not familiar with each other, but they should not be embarrassed. Only that Cheng Xu, somehow seems to always look at Chen Hanyu unpleasantly, and he should be a troublesome character later.
At this time, Yi Zhong had already walked in front of Chen Hanyu from behind, bowed to this group of people who had just broken in, and then said loudly: "Fellow Jianghu people, the old man just decided privately to prepare to let the little girl become the leader of my beggar gang. Failing to notify you in time is the fault of the old man. Here, the old man apologizes to all of you and says I'm sorry. After speaking, Yi Zhong bowed to everyone again.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Master Duwen recited a Buddha name softly and did not say anything more.
Cheng Xu clasped his hands in front of his chest, glanced at Chen Hanyu and the others, and then locked his eyes on Yi Zhong, only to hear him say lightly: "Elder Yi, you have privately decided to take the position of the gang leader, and I and other outsiders have no right to object." But you asked me to wait for so many people in the rivers and lakes to come all the way to vote for the position of the leader of your gang. In the end, it was a private decision to treat us as if we were nothing. Today, we are not persecuting, but asking for an explanation, and if Elder Ruoyi cannot give me a reasonable explanation. Walking backwards, where do I put my face?"
His tone seemed bland, but in fact he was aggressive. Yi Zhong's face sank slightly, but he quickly calmed down, and said lightly: "What the shopkeeper Cheng said is very true, since the thirteenth generation of the gang leader, my beggar gang has set up such rules, and on the premise of not violating the gang rules, try to make the gang leader election more fair, so as not to bury talents." ”
"Oh, in this way, does Elder Yi think that Senior Nephew Geng and Deputy Gang Leader Wen are not as good as a little girl who has never seen the world?" Cheng Xu raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.
"The old man didn't say anything like that......" Yi Zhong just replied lightly.
Shen Ming Dao took a step forward: "Elder Yi, I waited for this time to come here just to know the whole story of this matter. If it is not difficult for your gang to hide, please also ask Elder Yi to inform the reason to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
"Daoist Shen Ming is right," Master Duwen also said, "There must be a reason why Elder Yi chose Miss Xiaojing as the leader of your gang. If it is true, I will not embarrass your help. ”
"Thank you, both of you. Yi Zhong thanked him, and then repeated the whole thing exactly as it was.
"Speaking of which, it's not just because of a broken stick. Cheng Xu said disdainfully.
"Despise the token of the beggar gang, is this disrespectful to the beggar gang?" Feng Qingwan said coldly.
Feng Qingwan's words made Cheng Xu's face sink, and he was about to speak, but he heard Master Du Wen say slowly: "Okay, everyone don't quarrel anymore, let Lao Wei say something." ”
"Elder Yi," Master Duwen continued, "it's a blessing that the beggars can retrieve their token, the dog repellent stick. There is also a clear provision in the gang rules that the person who wins the stick can be the gang leader. Now that the little girl is also a talent, it is not entirely a bad thing to be the leader of the beggar gang, and the old man naturally supports Elder Yi's decision. ”
"I also think that Miss Beetle is up to the position of helper. Daoist Shen Ming then said, "Therefore, I also vote for it." ”
With Shaolin and Wudang, the representatives of the two righteous Kuidou all voted in support, and there were more and more people present to support Xiao Jing as the gang leader, and after a while, more than half. Seeing that the general trend had been decided, Cheng Xu took a deep breath, sighed helplessly, and said, "This is really unexpected...... Then I'll vote for it too!"
Cheng Xu chose to support, not because he really supported Xiao Jing to become the helper. After all, he is a businessman, and when he sees that the general trend is difficult to change, he no longer goes against the current. Tianjiao Pawnshop cares about harmony and wealth, and maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the beggar gang is the primary goal, as for who is the leader in the end, he Cheng Xu doesn't care too much.
