Chapter 691: Identity
Cao Yang took the lead in asking: "Lord Lu Zhuang is naturally famous, but he is not a member of my beggar gang, how can he become the leader of my beggar gang?" Elder White Tiger, this ...... Isn't that a break in the rules? He was polite in the latter sentence, but in his heart he thought that your brain was in water?
Lu Shanghe put his hands behind his back, calm and relaxed, and did not speak.
Qi Ning originally thought that with Cao Wei as the killer weapon, the Shenhou Mansion personally came forward, and it was already regarded as pulling the white tiger off the horse, but at this time, listening to the white tiger suddenly say this, he knew that it was definitely not that this old guy was confused, there must be something strange in this, and it might even be a retreat that had been designed a long time ago.
Baihu said: "Originally, this matter should not be made public, but today at this point, the identity of the owner of Lu Zhuang should also be made public to the world." After a pause, he said: "Actually, as early as eight years ago, the owner of Lu Zhuang had already joined my beggar gang, and he personally introduced the owner of Lu Zhuang into the beggar gang. ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people changed color.
"Elder White Tiger, what you said is true?" Elder Suzaku was also surprised: "Master Lu Zhuang has joined my beggar gang? ”
The white tiger bowed his head and said, "Exactly." Eight years ago, the helper went to Xichuan, and that time I met with the brother of the owner of Lu Zhuang, but the leader of the gang did not show his identity at that time, I accompanied the leader of the gang and had dinner with the owner of Lu Zhuang. It was also at that time that the owner of Lu Zhuang joined the beggar gang. ”
Cao Yang said solemnly: "Elder White Tiger, as far as I know, Lord Lu Zhuang was already a very famous hero in Xichuan eight years ago, how could he easily join my beggar gang?" With all due respect, the owner of Lu Zhuang joined the beggar gang, but there are other witnesses? ”
Bai Hu sneered: "The gang leader Shenlong can't see the head but the end, do you think anyone can be with the gang leader?" If it weren't for the brotherhood between the helper and the owner of Lu Zhuang, how could they be together? Turning his eyes at Lu Shanghe, he said, "Master Lu, the stakes are very high, why don't you explain it to everyone in person?" ”
Lu Shanghe bowed slightly, took two steps forward, and arched his hand: "Brothers, Brother Xiang met me in Xichuan eight years ago, I didn't know that he was the leader of the beggar gang at that time, and I didn't know his true identity until I was in Qianwuling. However, that time Brother Xiang brought Elder White Tiger with him, it was the first time I met Elder White Tiger, and when I learned the identity of Elder White Tiger, I immediately felt a sense of intimacy. At the banquet, we talked a lot about the beggars, and Elder White Tiger was very strange to me at that time, because he felt that I really knew a lot about the beggars. ”
Elder White Tiger said with a smile: "At that time, I almost thought that Master Lu Zhuang was the brother of the Beggar Gang, and he knew the rules of my Beggar Gang and some cuts in the gang very well. ”
Lu Shanghe also said with a smile: "That night, after persuading my brother a few words, coupled with Elder Baihu's gracious invitation, Lu joined the beggar gang and became a member of the beggar gang, fulfilling his father's long-cherished wish." ”
Qi Ning knew that Baihu and Lu Shanghe were completely nonsense, Xiang Baiying left Xichuan that year, and never met Lu Shanghe again, this guy insisted that they met eight years ago, naturally it was a lie made up, these two people have no shame, lying is like eating, their faces are not red and their hearts are not beating, and more importantly, the status of these two people in the rivers and lakes is not low, and it is really not easy to make people suspicious if they say it, if you want to prove that these two people are nonsense, you must come up with evidence.
It's just that to prove that these two people are lying, they can only let Xiang Baiying personally expose it, but if Xiang Baiying can appear here, there won't be so much trouble.
"Master Lu, we don't understand this." Cao Yang frowned and said, "You joined the beggar gang to fulfill Ling Zun's long-cherished wish, where does this start?" ”
Lu Shanghe smiled and said: "What Master Cao Helm said is right, Lu has been wandering on the rivers and lakes for many years, and Shadow Crane Villa is also famous, and he is included in the eight gangs and sixteen factions, so logically speaking, there is really no reason to join the beggar gang." After a pause, he raised his hand to the sky, and pondered for a moment before saying: "It's just that few people know that the relationship between Lu and the Beggar Gang is too deep, and my father used to be a disciple of the Beggar Gang, and he was also a hall master. ”
Qi Ning's heart sank, and many people also changed color slightly.
"My father's name was Lu Changhe, when he was young, he was forced to have nothing, and he almost starved to death on the street." Lu Shanghe sighed: "It was the brother of the Beggar Gang who saved my father, and my father joined the Beggar Gang, and he was a disciple of the Beggar Gang all his life. Until later, when he had a feud with other gangs, he was seriously injured and passed away ......! ”
Elder Suzaku was surprised: "Ling Zun is a disciple of the Beggar Gang? ”
Not only Elder Vermilion Bird, but everyone in the audience was also surprised, Qi Ning's brows were locked, he knew that Lu Shanghe was a bunch of nonsense nine times out of ten, but Lu Shanghe was able to make up such a lie, which really surprised Qi Ning.
"Exactly." Lu Shanghe said: "At that time, Lu was only three years old, and before that conflict, my father was worried that we would be implicated, so he sent us to Chongzhou, and we didn't know that my father had passed away until half a year after the incident. Speaking of which, the circles under my eyes are slightly red.
At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the audience.
Lu Shanghe is forty-five or sixteen years old, according to this, it was also something that happened more than 40 years ago, and at that time the world was in turmoil, although Chu and Han had already established the country, but the world was still in turmoil, compared to today's confrontation situation has been formed, the world is in chaos, and it will inevitably cause chaos in the rivers and lakes.
As the first gang in the world, the beggar gang is also suffering from the turbulent situation, fighting between countries, and the forces in the rivers and lakes are also fighting with me, a chaotic situation, in that chaotic period, the beggar gang naturally had to conflict with all walks of life on the rivers and lakes, and there was often bloodshed, and because of this, Mo said that the beggar gang master, even if it was the helmsman of the beggar gang, was often replaced.
If you inquire carefully, you may be able to find Lu Changhe's information, but in such a turbulent era, it is not easy to sort out Lu Changhe's interpersonal relationships.
Qi Ning thought to himself that the White Tiger gang had really come prepared.
The White Tiger was bound to win the position of the gang leader, and made all kinds of preparations in advance, and even sent someone to assassinate Lou Wenshi, but they obviously also thought of various unfavorable situations, just like the current situation, because the White Tiger was caught by someone and could not convince the public, so he must have a timely response strategy, and Lu Shanghe is obviously the emergency person.
Lu Shanghe claimed that his father was the head of the beggar gang, and Lu Changhe was in turmoil in the world, and many messages could not be found clearly, which was the key to Lu Shanghe's use.
More than forty years ago, even the White Tiger had not yet joined the Beggar Gang, and naturally none of the Beggar Gang disciples present could know what happened back then.
"Then the owner of the Lu village has not been in contact with the beggars after that?" Elder Suzaku asked.
Lu Shanghe sighed: "It was a young man, and her mother worked hard to raise Lu, and her old man only knew that her father was the head of the beggar gang, and in addition, her father rarely told her about the affairs of the gang, so she didn't know much about the beggar gang." It's just that my mother has always taught that my father is a hero, so Lu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he just hopes not to shame his father under Jiuquan. ”
The disciples of the Beggar Gang also knew that the people in the Beggar Gang could naturally marry wives and have children, but they were not allowed to disclose the affairs of the Beggar Gang to their families, so Lu Shanghe said this, and everyone understood.
Bai Hu sighed beside him: "Only then did I know that the owner of Lu Zhuang was actually an orphan of my beggar gang. The owner of Lu Zhuang and my beggar gang have a blood relationship, so that night I persuaded the owner of Lu Zhuang to join the beggar gang and continue the legacy of Lu Changhe and Lu seniors, and the owner of Lu Zhuang did not hesitate, and agreed that night, and the gang owner personally presided over the ceremony of joining the gang. ”
Many people suddenly realized, thinking that if this was the case, it would not be incomprehensible for Lu Shanghe to join the beggar gang.
Cao Yang thought for a moment before he said: "Elder White Tiger, Lord Lu Zhuang and the gang leader are righteous brothers, and with his status in the rivers and lakes, if he joins my beggar gang, he will be given the position of helmsman, so as not to wronged the owner of Lu Zhuang, but why after Lord Lu Zhuang joined the beggar gang, not only did there not have the slightest rumor on the rivers and lakes, but no one knew about my beggar gang." ”
Another person next to him followed closely and said: "As we all know, the disciples of the Jianghu Sect are all loyal to their own sect. If the owner of Lu Zhuang joins my beggar gang, he should not continue to keep the Shadow Crane Villa, since he keeps the Shadow Crane Villa, is it not in accordance with the rules to join my beggar gang? ”
These two points are actually the doubts in the hearts of everyone present, and when they heard someone ask, they all nodded.
Lu Shanghe sighed and said, "Since I have talked about this today, there are some secrets that are difficult to say, and I can only say them today." To tell you the truth, after joining the Beggar Gang, I was going to disband Shadow Crane Villa, but Brother Xiang had other considerations, so I didn't have to disband Shadow Crane Villa in a hurry, and I didn't have to rush to tell outsiders about joining the Beggar Gang, and I didn't even have to tell outsiders about me being a brother with him. At that time, I knew that Brother Xiang had joined the Beggar Gang, and I only thought that he was the helmsman of the Beggar Gang, but I never thought that he would be the leader of the Beggar Gang. Shaking his head, he said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiang has hidden it from me for many years. ”
"Master Lu, you haven't explained why the gang leader won't let you make the matter of joining the beggar gang public." Cao Yang immediately said: "What is the reason for this?" ”
Lu Shanghe hesitated for a moment before he said: "The reason for this is very important, and it is not convenient for Lu to say it now, but if you have to pursue the reason, Lu can find the right time to explain it in detail to the elders and helmsmen in the gang." He arched his hand and said: "This is an instruction to my brother, unless it is absolutely necessary, not to disclose it to the outside world, please forgive Lu for not being able to explain it in public." ”
Many people thought in their hearts that if it was really to Baiying and not let Lu Shanghe openly join the beggar gang, then there must be a major reason, there are many people at the moment, not only the disciples of the beggar gang, but also the heroes of other sects on the rivers and lakes, Lu Shanghe does not disclose the truth in front of everyone, it is also a matter of course.
The white tiger said in a loud voice: "I use my head to assure you brothers that Master Lu Zhuang did join the beggar gang eight years ago, and he is a person who is highly valued by the gang leader. ”
Lu Shanghe followed closely and said: "Brothers, today's announcement of this matter is also because Brother Xiang passed away, and Lu, as a disciple of the Beggar Gang, must also do his duty. As for the position of the helper, Lu has no covetousness, if everyone thinks that Elder White Tiger is not suitable, it is okay for us to serve as the helper of Elder Suzaku. He looked dignified and upright.
