Chapter 697: On stage
Hearing Xuanwu admit defeat, Bai Hu stretched his brows, and said with a smile in the audience: "Elder Xuanwu is good at swordsmanship, we old brothers don't know that you have such swordsmanship, and only the road device is slightly superior, and we are definitely not opponents." ”
He sounded like he was praising Xuanwu, but he was still exalting Lu Shanghe.
Xuanwu's eyebrows were tightly locked, his expression was gloomy, and there was a trace of fierceness in his eyes, but he didn't say much, and jumped down from the stargazing platform.
Baihu raised his hand and said: "Everyone has seen it, the victory and defeat have been divided, the master of Lu Zhuang has won the two elders of Suzaku and Xuanwu in a row, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he will succeed us as the leader of the beggar gang, that is ......!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Elder Vermilion Bird on the side had already said: "Elder White Tiger, don't worry, we have just said that the four sides are qualified to nominate candidates, and now there are still Dongfang Qisu rudders who have not yet selected people, we will always wait for the master of Lu Zhuang to defeat the Dongfang rudder to make a good decision." ”
Elder White Tiger immediately smiled and said, "Exactly, exactly. His face looked quite relaxed.
At this time, someone in the audience laughed and said: "I don't know which master is out of the battle?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
In fact, everyone present knew that the overall situation had been decided, and the position of the leader of the beggar gang today was none other than Lu Shanghe.
Lu Shanghe won two games in a row, especially in the battle with Elder Xuanwu, he was really amazing, and he was not a beggar, even if he looked at the rivers and lakes, he was afraid that there were not many people who surpassed Lu Shanghe in swordsmanship.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Elder Xuanwu's martial arts are already among the best in the beggar gang except for Xiang Baiying, and the last hard bone of Lu Shanghe's becoming the gang leader has been gnawed, and almost no one thinks that anyone in the beggar gang can stop Lu Shanghe from ascending to the position of gang leader.
If the Qinglong Elder of the Eastern Seven Residences was present, there might be two or three more chances, but before the Qinglong Elders arrived, there were only a few helmsmen of the Oriental Seven Residences present, and some people thought that Lu Shanghe had already shown his skills, and those helmsmen of the Oriental Seven Residences were afraid that they would not even have the courage to come to the stage.
Lu Shanghe walked to the side of the stage, faced the helmsman of the Eastern Seven Residences, and said with a smile: "I don't know which brother of the Eastern Seven Residences came up to teach one or two?" He was smiling and ambitious.
Several helmsmen had already gotten together to talk, and when they heard Lu Shanghe's question, they saw Mao Hu'er get up and arch his hand: "Master Lu Zhuang, your swordsmanship is excellent, even Elder Xuanwu has been defeated by your sword, and we will never be able to defeat you...... reason!" When he said this, he paused, and when he heard this, he immediately thought that the helmsman of the Seven Residences of the East really did not have the courage to come to the stage to compete, and it seemed that he was going to surrender without a fight, but unexpectedly Mao Fox continued: "But if we retreat from this, we will make people laugh at it, saying that we have no one in the Seven Residences of the East, even if we know that we are invincible, we must always go up and compare twice, and we will explain to the Elder Qinglong and the brothers of the Seven Residences of the East in the future." ”
Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "It's just a discussion, don't take it too seriously." He raised his hand and said, "Please!" ”
Mao Hu'er shook his head and smiled: "How dare you, my three-legged cat's kung fu, how dare I get an axe in front of the master of Lu Zhuang." He raised his hand and said: "Of us, only Master Wei Helm's martial arts can barely be said, so I want to recommend Master Wei Helm to compete with Lord Lu Zhuang to try a few tricks." ”
As he spoke, Qi Ning had already stood up.
Lu Shanghe glanced at Qi Ning, it was Qi Ning who challenged Lu Shanghe before, and before the Shenhou Mansion arrived, this person seemed to have known that Cao Wei was arrested by the Shenhou Mansion, Lu Shanghe faintly felt strange, but his face did not change, and he nodded to Qi Ning with incense.
Qi Ning just thought that Xuanwu really had a chance to defeat Lu Shanghe, if that was the case, he didn't have to be nosy, but now Lu Shanghe defeated Xuanwu under the sword, if he didn't make a move, with the strength of Mao Hu'er and others, it would be impossible for Lu Shanghe to be the opponent, so the position of the leader of the beggar gang would fall into the hands of Lu Shanghe.
Lu Shanghe and the White Tiger are in collusion, it is a raccoon dog, the position of the leader of the gang fell into the hands of Lu Shanghe, in Qi Ning's view, there is no big difference from falling into the hands of the White Tiger, he naturally can't watch Lu Shanghe take this position.
The position of the leader of the beggar gang, of course Qi Ning has no interest, he is now enjoying the glory as a marquis, and there is really no reason to be the leader of a group of people called Huazi, but for now, he doesn't care whether the gang leader is the leader or not, and stop Lu Shanghe first.
Lu Shanghe's swordsmanship Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, and knew very well in his heart that even if he fought with him with a nameless swordsmanship, the victory rate would not be too high, once he was really defeated by the other party, everyone would have something to say in front of him, and it would be extremely difficult to stop Lu Shanghe.
He already had to make a move.
When the beggars saw Qi Ning walking to the stargazing platform, they saw that he was not good-looking, mediocre, and naturally no one knew about him present, and many people thought that Elder Qinglong promoted such a little-known figure, but they didn't know what he was capable of, but almost everyone believed that this person came to the stage to challenge Lu Shanghe, but it was just a formality.
But when I saw Qi Ning's feet, the whole person had jumped onto the stargazing platform, just landed, it seemed that the landing was unstable, a stumbling under his feet, stumbling twice, and he didn't stand firm for a while, many people suddenly laughed when they saw it, and many people whistled and mocked.
Mao Hu'er and others were also quite embarrassed.
Although Mao Hu'er knew Qi Ning's true identity, and Qi Ning was personally commissioned by Lou Wenshi, Mao Hu'er didn't dare to lose respect for Qi Ning, but Mao Hu'er still had some doubts about Qi Ning's martial arts, secretly thinking that this little marquis was young, and no matter how high his cultivation was, it was impossible to compare with old rivers and lakes like Lu Shanghe.
Mao Hu'er and the others knew that they were not Lu Shanghe's opponents, but Dongfang Qiruo couldn't retreat in spite of the difficulties, making everyone present laugh, since Qi Ning was willing to come forward, he was naturally the most suitable candidate, but a few people also knew that Qi Ning's coming to power was nothing more than just going through the motions.
Mao Hu'er naturally saw that Lu Shanghe and Baihu had a good relationship, and if this Lu Shanghe won the position of helper, it would definitely not be a good thing, but at the moment, there was no way to stop it.
In the laughter of everyone, the corners of Lu Shanghe's eyes jumped slightly, he was always staring at Qi Ning, and naturally he could see that after the other party took the stage, he obviously pretended to deliberately stumble his feet, and everyone in the audience couldn't see it, but Lu Shanghe saw it clearly, and saw that he deliberately caused everyone to laugh at the other party, but he felt that it was not simple.
But he thought in his heart, the masters of the beggar gang are all clear, except for Xiang Baiying and the four elders, there is no real top master, and the Xuanwu elder is also imposing when he comes to power, but after all, he is still defeated in his own hands, this person in front of him is just a helmsman, how powerful can he be? His brows stretched slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Lord Wei doesn't know what sword to use?" ”
"With a sword?" Qi Ning was deliberately stunned, shook his head and said, "I'...... I don't know how to use a sword! ”
Everyone in the audience was stunned, and then they burst into laughter, and someone shouted, "What are you not going to do with your sword?" Come on, come on, come down, I'll teach you a few tricks, so that you won't even be able to hold the sword. ”
"Could it be that Dongfang Qiru doesn't have a person who knows how to swords, and he wants to send you to the field?" A shrill voice mocked: "In this case, I advise you to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, lest the owner of Lu Zhuang can't hold back his hand and hurt you for a while." ”
Qi Ning naturally knew that these people were all from the White Tiger's side, so he smiled and said loudly: "I really don't know how to use a sword, but as far as I know, there are not many brothers in our beggar gang who use swords, do you have to know swordsmanship to compete on stage?" In this case, there are many sword sects on the rivers and lakes, let them join the beggar gang, wouldn't it be better for our beggar gang to give up the positions of gang leader, helmsman and hall master to the people of the major sword sects? ”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other, and the loudest laugh suddenly stopped, and there were people in the audience who were not convinced by Lu Shanghe's help, and they lost no time in saying: "What the helmsman of Wei said is right, when does the helmsman of our beggar gang stipulate that he must use a sword?" Since the establishment of the Beggar Gang, I have not heard that our Beggar Gang has any powerful swordsmanship handed down, otherwise we would have changed our name to the Beggar Sword Gang or the Sword Beggars Gang. ”
For a while, many people chimed in.
Lu Shanghe's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "In this way, Lord Wei Helm doesn't want to compare swordsmanship today?" ”
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "Everyone also said that our beggar gang is not good at swordsmanship. Wandering around, he often carries a wooden stick in his hand, so as not to be bullied ......! ”
"Oh?" Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "It seems that Master Wei Helm wants to test the stick method with me?" ”
Qi Ning still shook his head: "I don't know how to use swordsmanship, I don't know how to use sticks, Master Lu also saw it, I didn't have a sword, I didn't have a wooden stick, and I didn't know how to use eighteen weapons." ”
Lu Shanghe's patience was very good, and he still kept a smile and said, "Then what will you do?" ”
"Master Lu, don't be in a hurry." Qi Ning smiled: "The position of this gang leader is yours after all, why should you be impatient?" Wouldn't it be better if we started with a few words? ”
As soon as he said this, the corners of Lu Shanghe's eyes jumped slightly, and some people in the audience thought that this Wei Duo Master really didn't seem to have a long brain, and dared to say such a thing directly to Lu Shanghe, according to the current situation, it was only a matter of time before Lu Shanghe ascended to the position of the gang leader, you offended him like this, if he became the gang leader at that time, how could he have your good fruit to eat?
"What does Lord Wei Helm want to say?"
Qi Ning raised his head slightly and asked: "Master Lu Zhuang, as far as I know, you and Xiang Gang Leader became righteous brothers more than 20 years ago, at that time you were like-minded, Xiang Gang Leader is a temperamental person, since you have his trust, he will dig out his heart for you." After a pause, he continued: "He is the young owner of Fengjian Villa, born in a famous family, with fine clothes and food, and a like-minded righteous brother like you, but I don't know why he left Xichuan back then, left behind his good family background, and wanted to join my beggar gang?" ”
Lu Shanghe frowned, and when the white tiger heard it from the audience, he had already shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Wei Helm, this is the secret matter of the gang leader, how dare you ask here?" Isn't this disrespectful to the gang leader? ”
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "Master Lu Zhuang is a sworn brother to the gang leader, if Lord Lu Zhuang and Xiang Gang Master have a deep brotherly relationship, and sincerely want to take us to avenge the gang leader, why should I take the initiative with Lu Zhuang?" What's the harm in directly serving him as a helper? However, whether the owner of Lu Zhuang and the Xiang gang are really brothers, you must always ask clearly. ”
Lu Shanghe's face darkened slightly, and he frowned: "Lord Wei, what do you mean by this?" Are you doubting my relationship with Brother Xiang? ”
