When Hong Liang came, Xie Budong was lying on the bed simulating the flow of conversation, when he heard the sound of gears turning from the east wall, he raised his head to look, only to see a stone slab on the wall retreating, revealing a secret door.

Xie Budong hurriedly stood up, pretending to be trembling and waiting for someone to come.

As the secret door opened, Hong Liang's figure walked out of the darkness, and behind him two guard-like people walked in together, he did not bring the other three beams, but tested the wind alone.

"Your name is Xie Budong?" After Hong Liang came in, a subordinate brought a chair, and after he sat down, he waved his hand to signal everyone else to go out.

"Yes. Xie Budong lowered his head and replied, secretly complaining in his heart: The old thing asked knowingly, I'm afraid that now you can even find out whether my neighbor's second aunt's dog is male or female.

"Young man, you can hide it from those elders, but you can't hide it from me!" Hong Liang said in a calm tone: "Tell me, where did you learn your martial arts, don't use the words of that old beggar to prevaricate me, otherwise I will let you survive and die." ”

Xie Budong was shocked, and then relieved, this old thing is bombing me, if he is really sure, I am afraid that he will take me away and torture me directly, since he can come to ask calmly, he must believe a little bit and dare not act rashly.

"Mr. Hong, everything I said is true. Xie Budong pretended to be aggrieved and frightened and said: "Do you believe that I told you where the cheats are stored, after you get the things, you will naturally know whether what I said is true or false." ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "I don't want any cheats, I just ask you to let me go, I'm just a student, I don't want to get involved in those things in your gang, okay." ”

At the end, he looked at Hong Liang almost pleadingly.

Hong Liang has been staring at Xie Budong's expression, he has believed what this young man said, after checking the identity of this person, there is no doubt about this person's identity, as an ordinary student can not be so calm and calm on such an occasion, when he said the threatening words, Xie Budong's expression was first shocked, and then turned into fear, until the later pleading. This emotion is exactly what a person should behave when they are frightened.

"I believe you for the time being, and I'll know when the cheats are retrieved. Looking at Xie Budong's relieved look, Hong Liang continued: "In the hall in the afternoon, I saw that you wanted to speak and stopped, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Mr. Hong is really wise, and the old... That's what the old man said. Xie Budong quietly patted his ass and continued: "When the old man left, he specially explained a few words to me, so that I had the opportunity to pass them on to Hong Daliang when I had the opportunity to go to the island. ”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, and said in a different tone: "Hong Liang, you have done a good job in the past two years, and I have been watching you. I am a sinner of the beggar gang, and the secret book of martial arts that has been passed down for thousands of years was destroyed and lost in my hands, and now I have only recovered a part of the fragment, and I will continue to pursue the rest.

I know that you are still young, and I didn't want to entrust this matter to you, but looking at your actions and courage in the past two years, you have quite a lot of demeanor, and you only need to sharpen it for a few more years to be able to take on a big responsibility, so I entrust this little disciple to convey this sentence to you today, I believe that after so many years of experience, your growth has been worthy of this position.

Hong Liang obeys orders!"

Speaking of this, Xie Budong paused, Hong Liang hurriedly got up and knelt in front of him, he knew that at this moment it was this young man who was conveying the old gang leader's words, and the meaning of the obedient words seemed to be to give him a heavy responsibility, which made his heart beat sharply.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty the first gang leader Zhuang Fangyi founded the beggar gang, the inheritance has been more than 1,000 years, today I as the 57th person gang leader, officially passed on to Hongliang, succeeded to the position of the 58th gang leader, I hope you will work hard during your reign, do not forget your heart, remember my beggar gang ancestral teachings: the essence of a hundred schools, the achievement of food and clothing, hoe the strong and help the weak, and keep promises. ”

"Disciple Hong Liang takes the order!" Hong Liang's heart beat wildly, he didn't expect to get the coveted position so easily, fortunately, the old thing said these words five years ago when he hadn't signed a contract with that person, if it was two years later, I am afraid that he would be in danger.

I only heard Xie Budong continue: "Today, I asked the disciples of the closed door to send the Dragon Descending Recipe and the Dragon Descending Eighteen Palms Part of the Secret Book Fragments, after you retrieve it, you can check it according to my gang's secret method, and look for it according to the address above, you can bring back the token of my gang leader, after entrusting this matter to you, I will spend the rest of my life to find the secret book lost by my hands, I hope you will live up to my trust and forge ahead." Nope. ”

The last one is gone, it was Xie Budong who reminded Hong Liang who was kneeling on the ground in a daze.

"Oooh. Hong Liang hurriedly stood up, bowed to Xie Budong and said: "Little junior brother, I have offended a lot in the previous matter, and I ask you to forgive me, after all, it is a secret that the gang does not pass on, so I have to be cautious." ”

Hong Liang has completely believed these words at this moment, thanks to Hong Jun said everything he knows about the beggar gang in great detail, although he is a peripheral disciple, but after all, he is Qingtianliang's own nephew, and he knows a little bit about many secret things, such as in ancient times, the high-level of the beggar gang would write letters with a special ink, and the font would disappear after drying, and it would only be visible after being smeared with another synthetic agent.

This method has been lost for many years, and everyone thinks that no one will use this secret method, but Hong Jun happened to learn that this mysterious ink mixing method is still used in the upper echelons of the gang, and only after reaching a certain level will it be taught by the Church of the Elders of Chuangong.

After mastering this secret, Xie Budong will of course use it in his rhetoric, and sure enough, after Hong Liang heard this secret that outsiders only knew about the middle and high-level of the gang, he was even more convinced of him.

"Mr. Hong, you see I have said everything that should be said, now I will tell you where I hid the cheats, see if you can let me go, it's almost the New Year, if I don't go home, my mother should be in a hurry. ”

"There's no hurry, there's no hurry. Hong Liang said with a smile: "Since the little junior brother is a disciple of the master, then we are a family, since we are home, don't be in a hurry to leave, old brother, I have offended a lot before, you must give me a chance to make amends." ”

Although he longed to get his wings back and find out the whereabouts of the token, he chatted with Xie Budong about family life as if he was not in a hurry at all.

If you guess correctly, the token left by the old thing must be a dog stick, this stick is not only a magic soldier, but also a thing that the previous gang leaders of the beggar gang must hold, only when the dog stick is obtained, this gang leader will be recognized by everyone.

Seeing that he is not in a hurry, Xie Budong is even less anxious, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is to his plan. Seeing that the beggars attached so much importance to the cheats, he also dismissed the plan to go directly to the cheats, and it seemed that he had to embark on the road of "stealing".

However, although he was not in a hurry, he had to pretend to be anxious on the surface, and after chatting for a while, he took the initiative to propose to tell the location where the cheats were stored, so that Hong Liang could arrange for someone to retrieve it as soon as possible.

Hong Liang naturally agreed, and immediately arranged for his henchmen to welcome the gang back after learning the address, and for the sake of prudence, he directly sent the four elders to two, although the four major protector elders of the eight elders of the beggar gang are called the same elders, but they actually do not have any positions, and their task is to deal with things for the gang leader, which is equivalent to the existence of military generals.

Since the previous four Dharma Protector Elders rebelled and were hanged, the four elders of the newcomer were all henchmen secretly cultivated by Hong Liang, and their strength was all in the seventh order, so they would definitely have peace of mind when these two people came out.

The address given by Xie Budong was in a private house next to a university in a city in Northeast China that had been planned in advance, and after Hong Liang arranged for someone to leave, Xie Budong took the initiative to stay in this secret room, on the grounds that he was carrying a secret and was afraid of going out rashly for fear of causing trouble, or that this kind of cage-like place was safer.

"This is absolutely unacceptable, I didn't know the truth before, so I put you in this 'Prison Dragon Pavilion', and now we are all a family, and this kind of cage can let you live. Although Xie Budong's words hit Hong Liang's heart, he still pretended to excuse himself.

"Mr. Hong, I'm fine here, I won't tell you that I have social phobia, if I go out, if the elders ask something, I don't know what I can say and what I can't say, staying in this kind of place is what I want, you can promise me. ”

"In that case, I won't force it. Hong Liang thought for a while, reluctantly agreed, he instructed his subordinates to replace all the supplies in the house with new ones, and instructed Mr. Ruo Xie to meet any requirements.

After chatting for a few words, seeing that Xie Budong was sleepy, Hong Liang got up and said goodbye.

Walking outside the room, after watching the door of the secret room locked, he said to the guards guarding the Prison Dragon Pavilion: "You keep an eye on it, try your best to meet any requests of the person inside, but remember not to make him unhappy, second, you must not let him leave this room, and thirdly, from now on, monitor his every move throughout the whole process, and report any abnormal situation to me immediately." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”
