Chapter 692: The Battle of the Birds and Cranes
Bai Hu said: "Today, we choose the gang leader, and the first important thing is for the gang leader to lead us to avenge the gang leader." Such candidates must be courageous, and their martial arts are superb, our opponent is the Black Lotus Sect, if there is no outstanding martial arts and courage, it is not easy to avenge the helper. ”
Xiang Baiying's great enmity is naturally in the first place, and when all the beggars hear Baihu say this, they can't help but bow slightly.
"Naturally, there is nothing to say about the character of the Vermilion Bird Elder, but over the years, the Vermilion Bird Elder has mainly been active in the capital area, and he rarely sets foot in Xichuan, and he does not understand the situation in Xichuan." The white tiger said loudly: "And Lord Lu Zhuang grew up in Xichuan since he was a child, and he knows the customs and geographical environment of Xichuan well, if Lord Lu Zhuang leads us to take revenge on the Black Lotus Sect, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort." ”
Someone in the audience couldn't help but say: "Elder White Tiger, we naturally have nothing to say about the reputation and character of Lord Lu Zhuang." However, although the owner of Lu Zhuang joined my beggar gang, he has not had too deep contact with my beggar gang over the years, and the brothers in the gang have a very shallow understanding of the owner of Lu Zhuang, so they suddenly let the owner of Lu Zhuang succeed as the leader of the gang, but I am afraid that people will be unconvinced. ”
Baihu smiled: "Although what this brother said has some truth, but think about it, since the establishment of our beggar gang, we have encountered many times of crisis, whenever we encounter such a situation, our beggar gang has always been eclectic, but as long as the good man who can lead us out of the predicament, we will follow him." Don't talk about others, let's just say that the money gang leader of the year, at that time, the war coincided, the Hu gang leader passed away, the money gang leader is just a hall master, but he turned the tide, both civil and military, everyone was eclectic, and the money gang master was our leader, and later everyone also knew that the money gang leader not only led our beggar gang, but also the beggar gang under the leadership of his old man, it was even more powerful, and later brought us the big hero to the gang leader. ”
Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds, and most of the disciples of the Beggar Gang are from poor backgrounds, after all, no one will think about becoming beggars until they are cornered.
Hearing Bai Hu say this, everyone only felt quite pleasant, secretly thinking that the beggar gang was not of noble birth, and the leader of the gang was elected, but there was no need to be too rigid about his background.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Bai Hu knew that most people acquiesced to his words, and continued: "Master Lu Zhuang is the brother of our beggar gang, there is no objection to this, and Lord Lu Zhuang and Xiang Gang are righteous brothers, we want to avenge the helper, and Lord Lu is even more eager than us in his heart. After a pause, he glanced at it before continuing: "The reputation and prestige of the owner of the Lu Villa, I don't need to say much, everyone knows in their hearts that the Shadow Crane Villa is one of the eight gangs and sixteen factions, and the Lord of the Shadow Crane Villa has been in charge of the Shadow Crane Villa for many years, so he naturally knows how to command everyone, if the most suitable person at the moment, I think it must be the owner of the Lu Villa." ”
Bai Shenghao and the others saw that the White Tiger had no chance to be the leader of the gang before, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, only thinking that Suzaku had been nine out of ten, but they didn't expect to kill a Lu Shanghe on the sideways.
Lu Shanghe is the lord of the Shadow Crane Villa, not to mention that he is already very famous in the rivers and lakes, only to say that the previous achievements in Qianwuling have won the admiration of many people, and Lu Shanghe's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not coming, he is eager for justice and righteousness, generous and generous, and even more so he and Xiang Baiying are righteous brothers, and they are supported by the white tiger, but they have become Suzaku's biggest competitor.
Bai Shenghao and the others also knew that Elder Suzaku was inferior to the White Tiger among the four elders in terms of seniority, but in terms of talent, it was not outstanding, and now Lu Shanghe came out to compete for the position of the gang leader, it was really tricky.
Under the stargazing stage, many people originally supported the White Tiger, but because of Cao Wei, the White Tiger has lost its qualification to compete, and everyone who originally supported the White Tiger saw that the White Tiger supported Lu Shanghe, but they also echoed it in the audience.
Some people felt that Lu Shanghe suddenly became a disciple of the beggar gang, and he was going to compete for the position of the gang leader in an instant, which was really inappropriate, so he objected, and some people felt that what Baihu said was very reasonable, with Lu Shanghe's status in the rivers and lakes, among the beggars present, there was no one who could compare with him, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to really serve him as the master, but he felt a little strange in his heart, and he hesitated for a while.
In just a moment, the beggars under the stargazing platform were divided into three factions, some supported Lu Shanghe as the successor of the gang leader, and some supported the white tiger, but most of them were silent and unsettled.
At first, the audience only quarreled with each other for a few words, but it soon became more and more intense, and some of them had to start their hands with violent tempers.
The white tiger roared in a low voice, full of energy, and spread far away, and the venue soon quieted down, and the white tiger said in a deep voice: "Everyone is their own brothers, everything is easy to discuss, don't hurt the harmony because of this, now this scene, how sad is it to know the gang leader?" ”
Everyone was silent, and the white tiger groaned slightly, and then said: "At the moment, there are brothers who support Lord Lu Zhuang, and there are also people who support Elder White Tiger, but there can only be one helper, and everyone thinks that there is no way to choose a helper from them?" ”
A voice suddenly shouted from the audience: "The leaders of the beggar gang are all first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, since it is difficult to choose, it is better to compete in martial arts, whoever has higher martial arts is our gang leader." ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people in the audience immediately echoed it.
Bai Hu smiled: "Competition, this method is not a good way. When it comes to character and talent, Elder Vermilion Bird and Master Lu Zhuang are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and we have nothing to say, but what the brother said just now is very true, our beggar gang is the first gang in the rivers and lakes, and if you want to become the leader of our beggar gang, martial arts are naturally extremely important. Turning his gaze at Elder Suzaku, he asked, "Elder Suzaku, we will take the winner as the leader of the competition, I don't know what you think?" ”
Elder Suzaku frowned slightly, he had never fought with Lu Shanghe, and he really didn't know the depth of Lu Shanghe's martial arts, but he knew that Lu Shanghe's Shadow Crane Villa was extremely powerful in Xichuan, and Lu Shanghe must not be an ordinary person, and he might not be able to defeat this person, but if he retreated now, not only would he feel that he would not dare to fight, but even the initiative would soon fall into the hands of the other party, so he hesitated for a moment before he said: "Everyone, it's not that I intend to help the master, but since you brothers can see it, Some people want me to lead everyone to take revenge on the gang leader, but if I refuse, it seems that I don't have this responsibility. He raised his head slightly and said: "Since I want to compete in martial arts, I naturally try it reluctantly, but in front of me, such a hasty election of the gang leader may not be in line with everyone's minds, and the two elders of Xuanwu and Qinglong have not been present today, even if the gang leader is elected, it can only be temporary." ”
Qi Ning heard Elder Suzaku say this, and couldn't help but nod slightly, thinking that Elder Suzaku was an old man.
Elder White Tiger frowned and said, "Temporary? ”
"Exactly." Elder Suzaku said: "No matter who becomes the gang leader, if he can lead us to take revenge on the gang leader, everyone will be convinced, and everyone will naturally be willing to serve him as the master." But if you become a gang leader, you can't even take revenge on the gang leader, so it's better to choose someone else for the position of gang leader. ”
Lu Shanghe didn't wait for the white tiger to speak, and immediately smiled: "What Elder Suzaku said is extremely true, if the new gang leader can't even avenge the previous gang leader's great revenge, how can he steal the position of the gang leader?" ”
Elder Suzaku said loudly: "Since the owner of the Lu Zhuang also agrees, then it is limited to one year, within one year, if the new gang leader can take revenge on the gang leader, everyone has nothing to say, support him as the official gang leader, otherwise after a year, we will choose another helper." Even if a helper is elected today, there is no need to hold a ceremony, and it will be held a year later. ”
Lu Shanghe nodded and said, "It should be so." ”
Elder Suzaku turned to face Lu Shanghe and arched his hand: "Master Lu Zhuang, since everyone wants us to compete to decide the winner, the old Hua can only ask you for a few tricks, and the old Hua Zi's martial arts are rude, so I want you to laugh." ”
Lu Shanghe shook his head and said, "Elder Suzaku is polite. Today, you and I are competing for the position of the leader, but just to harm my brother, I am like Elder Suzaku, I am sad and angry in my heart, and I am angry with the enemy, and I want to avenge my brother. The great revenge that I can lead everyone to avenge is a wish shared by Elder Suzaku and me. ”
Elder Vermilion Bird bowed slightly, suddenly lifted the Vermilion Bird Staff, the black light shone, and said in a deep voice: "Please advise!" ”
Lu Shanghe walked slowly to the side of the stage, untied the long sword at his waist with the scabbard, and then slowly pulled out the long sword, then put the scabbard on the edge of the stargazing platform, and turned to walk towards Elder Vermilion Bird.
Elder White Tiger and the others jumped down from the stargazing platform.
Everyone saw that the shape of the long sword in Lu Shanghe's hand was simple, and under the sun, the light flickered, and the connoisseurs knew that the long sword was extraordinary.
Elder Suzaku also saw the long sword in Lu Shanghe's hand and said, "Good sword!" ”
Lu Shanghe raised the sword body slightly, and said with a smile: "This sword, called Chengying Sword, was a gift to my brother back then. ”
As soon as he spoke, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
But anyone walking on the rivers and lakes, the top ten famous swords and five famous swords are naturally heard, but these magic weapons are the treasures of the rivers and lakes, and those who carry them will naturally not be easily revealed, most of the people present have heard of the names of the top ten famous swords, this Chengying sword ranks sixth among the top ten famous swords, it is a rare divine product, there are many people who know this sword, but there are very few people who have seen this sword.
No one would have imagined that they would be able to see the style of the Chengying Sword today.
What surprised many people even more was that this sword was given to Baiying, and before he was thrown into the beggar gang to Baiying, he was the owner of Fengjian Mountain Villa, and naturally not many people knew about it, many people thought that the Chengying Sword was owned by the gang leader before, and he could give such a divine weapon to Lu Shanghe, and the depth of the friendship between these two people can be seen.
Lu Shanghe crossed the sword in front of his chest, pinched a sword trick in his left hand, and smiled on his face, people who know swords see this posture and know that this is a kind of etiquette, so as to show respect for the opponent, indicating that the two sides are just trying to compete, and there is no grudge.
