Chapter 694: Highlighted
Qi Ning was puzzled in his heart, but the white tiger had already said loudly: "Brothers, the victory and defeat have been divided, and everyone is also witnessing...... No, we're going to serve the Lu Gang Master as the leader of our beggar gang. ”
There was no joy in the audience, the previous competition, although it was to decide one person from among Elder Suzaku and Lu Shanghe to succeed the gang leader, but many people in the middle were interested in watching the excitement, at this time the victory and defeat had been divided, and everyone did not expect that Lu Shanghe would defeat Elder Suzaku so easily, and many people did not react for a while.
At this moment, everyone's hearts are complicated, some people feel that Lu Shanghe suddenly became a member of the beggar gang today, and in the blink of an eye, he wants to succeed to the position of the gang leader, which is really a bit abrupt, and some people think that Elder Suzaku is also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, but he was easily defeated by Lu Shanghe, this Lu Shanghe's martial arts are really clever, and he led the beggar gang to seek revenge against the Black Lotus Sect, even if the Black Lotus Sect has the existence of a great grandmaster, the beggar gang may not be left behind.
The guests invited by the other factions to watch the meeting also had their own thoughts in their hearts, and some people thought that Lu Shanghe had already joined the beggar gang, so why did he never reveal his identity, and he has always been the owner of the Shadow Crane Mountain Villa on the rivers and lakes, if this is really an instruction to Baiying, what the hell is this beggar gang doing behind his back?
Some people think that although this Lu Shanghe is quite prestigious in the rivers and lakes, he has never heard of this person's martial arts so good, and he can't imagine that he is hidden deeply, this person and Xiang Baiying are righteous brothers, and now they are leading the beggar gang, with their talents, the beggar gang is afraid that it will not be able to decline, and other gangs want to overshadow the beggar gang, but there is no hope.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but Lu Shanghe has already put away his sword and arched his hand: "Brothers and friends of the beggar gang, Lu has no talent and no virtue, and today's successor to the leader of the beggar gang is purely worthy of you." Lu has only one thing in his heart, that is, he took everyone to avenge his brother's great revenge, and after the revenge was avenged, Lu did not dare to stay in this position for a long time, and when the time came, please choose another virtuous person. ”
The white tiger said with a smile: "The Lu Gang Master has martial arts, outstanding character, and very talented, and now my Beggar Gang is in an extraordinary situation, and it is in need of a great hero like the Lu Gang Master to turn the tide." If you take revenge on the gang leader, everyone is even more willing to obey the orders of the Lu gang leader. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange laugh, which was very abrupt and came very suddenly, which was very inconsistent with the atmosphere at this time.
The venue was very large, but many people heard this strange laughter, and looked around, and the black pressed a crowd, but they didn't know where this laughter came from.
"We have the Lu Gang Leader as the gang leader, although it is inconvenient to hold a ceremony today, but with a new gang leader, everyone should also pay homage." The white tiger stabilized his expression, turned around and was about to kneel down and salute Lu Shanghe, Qi Ning could see it clearly, knowing that this Lu Shanghe and the white tiger were in cahoots, and there was no difference between Lu Shanghe and the white tiger when he became the helper, so he wanted to speak, but unexpectedly, a voice took the lead and said: "Lu Zhuang wants to be the helper, do you have to wait." ”
This time, everyone could hear it clearly, and when they followed the sound, they saw a figure slowly coming out of the crowd, that person was unkempt and in rags, no different from most of the beggar disciples, and for a while they couldn't see who this person was.
The white tiger frowned, but saw that the person seemed to be walking very slowly, but he had already arrived at the stargazing platform in a moment, and the white tiger said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
The man was carrying a belt in his hand, and an iron sword was inserted in his waist very casually, and he didn't answer the white tiger, but he rose up, and it fell on his head as lightly as an eagle falcon, and someone in the audience already shouted: "What a bold man, which rudder is so unruly that he dares to disturb the Aoki Conference?" ”
The man raised his head, unkempt, and the white tiger stared at the man twice, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Yes...... It's you? ”
Only then did the man turn to face the audience, raised his head, but saw a few people in the audience, the first one was Cao Yang, and said in surprise: "Elder, you ...... You're here! ”
Qi Ning heard it clearly, and his heart was stunned, and the Mao Fox and the others around him had already stood up, only to hear the Mao Fox say: "Yes..... It's Elder Xuanwu! ”
Qi Ningwan didn't expect that Elder Xuanwu would have already mixed in with the crowd, but he didn't know why he was like this, and he didn't show up until this moment.
Lu Shanghe frowned slightly, but saw that the unkempt Xuanwu elder didn't say a word, untied the rope tied to the leather bag, and then poured the bottom of the bag, only to see a dozen black things poured out of the leather bag, and fell on the stage, a few gurgled and turned, the white tiger took a look, couldn't help but take a step back, but saw that more than a dozen human heads were poured out of the leather bag.
Elder Xuanwu sneered, raised his foot and kicked several times, and several heads flew out like leather balls, and everyone in the audience could see it, and they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Elder Xuanwu, this ..... ..... these heads? Suzaku saw it from the side, and his face changed greatly.
Elder Xuanwu said: "Twenty days ago, I set out from Luoyang and rushed south to Xiangyang, but on this way, I was blocked by two groups of people in a row, and I almost died in the middle of the road. He suddenly ripped open the placket of his chest, and under the sun, everyone close to the stargazing platform could clearly see that there were several hideous scars on Elder Xuanwu's chest, which looked like new wounds that had not yet healed.
White Tiger frowned and said, "Elder Xuanwu, are you saying that someone assassinated on the way?" ”
Elder Xuanwu said lightly: "None of the assassins encountered on the way escaped the net, all of them are here, there are a total of fourteen heads here, the first batch of six heads, the second batch of eight heads, the five brothers who followed me to Xiangyang, all of them were killed on the way, if it weren't for the favor of God, my head would have rotted now." ”
This time, two of the four elders of the beggar gang did not appear in time when the conference was held, and many people only felt that something was strange in their hearts, after all, the Aoki Conference was a triennial event of the beggar gang, and the elders in the gang had always been indispensable, this time not only were the elders absent, but also two people at a time, and everyone couldn't help but make everyone feel strange.
But most people didn't expect that someone would assassinate the elders of the Beggar Gang.
The beggar gang is the first gang in the world, this is not in vain, to the point where it is now, let alone the power of the rivers and lakes, even if it is the imperial court, it has to give the beggar gang a few thin faces.
The major sects know very well in their hearts that if they provoke the beggar gang, they will definitely cause great trouble, and the beggar gang has a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to provoke right and wrong, but if someone provokes the beggar gang, the beggar gang will never be ambiguous, let alone say that it is the elder of the beggar gang, even if it is an ordinary disciple of the beggar gang, if it is bullied, the beggar gang will also do its best to defend it.
Now someone dares to assassinate the elders of the beggar gang, this is something that has not happened for many years, the beggars are not only surprised, but also angry, a group of beggar gang disciples have already stood up and said: "Who dares to attack the Xuanwu elder?" We can't let it go no matter what. ”
Elder Xuanwu said in a loud voice: "The assassins in these two paths, I have carefully checked, they should not belong to the same path, that is, there is more than one person who wants to kill me in the middle of the road. "He was unkempt, and for a time it was impossible to tell how old he was, but when he stood like a pine on the ground, and when he spoke, every word was extremely powerful, and it was evident from his speech that he was an extremely capable man.
There was another round of discussion in the audience.
"Elder Xuanwu, since these assassins were killed by you, you naturally already know their identities." Elder Suzaku looked solemn: "Do you know where they came from?" ”
Elder Xuanwu smiled faintly and said, "These people's martial arts are not weak, with their martial arts, logically speaking, I should be able to recognize the number of paths." But in fact, not only do I not recognize the martial arts of these people, but I also don't know any of their appearances. He sneered and said, "Since someone wants to assassinate me, I naturally thought that if they missed, I would find out the murderer behind the scenes from their mouths, so the people behind the scenes naturally prepared in advance." ”
"Ready?"
"Half of these people committed suicide." Elder Xuanwu said slowly: "They missed the assassination, and they knew that they could not escape, so they immediately committed suicide, leaving no clues, but the selected dead soldiers. ”
Elder Suzaku frowned and said, "Isn't there any clue at all?" ”
"The martial arts of these dead soldiers are not weak, and they are obviously trained for a long time." Elder Xuanwu said: "With their skills, it is not difficult to make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, but they are driven by people, and they are not afraid of death, but the people behind this can be regarded as supernatural." After a pause, he laughed loudly: "But some people are afraid and never thought that I would come to Xiangyang alive." ”
Elder White Tiger said, "Elder Xuanwu is safe and sound, which can be regarded as a great luck. Our beggar gang already has a new gang leader, and if someone wants to assassinate Elder Xuanwu, the Lu gang leader will definitely send someone to find out the murderer behind the scenes, and our beggar gang will not give up on this matter. ”
"Lu Gang Master?" Elder Xuanwu glanced at Lu Shanghe and said with a smile: "I also heard some things just now, Master Lu Zhuang is a sworn brother of the gang leader, he has joined my beggar gang a few years ago, and now he wants to lead the beggar gang to take revenge on the gang leader, if this is really the case, it is naturally a blessing for my beggar gang." ”
Lu Shanghe arched his hand and smiled: "Elder Xuanwu was assassinated in the middle of the road, I will definitely try my best to investigate this matter, and I must find out the murderer." ”
Elder Xuanwu raised his hand, stopped Lu Shanghe's words, and said directly: "Master Lu, forgive me for taking the liberty of having two words I want to ask. ”
"Elder Xuanwu, but it's okay to talk about it!"
Elder Xuanwu turned to face Lu Shanghe, his eyes were sharp, and asked: "Master Lu Zhuang knows, my beggar gang has two Zhen Gang masters, and the previous generations of gang leaders have passed them down, one is changed to the Reverse Tendon Sutra, and the other is the Drunken Dream Nine Style, and many friends on the rivers and lakes know these two kung fu, and the master of Lu Zhuang naturally will not be born." ”
Lu Shanghe was calm and calm, and said with his head bowed: "I have heard a little." ”
"Then of course Master Lu also knows that if he doesn't have these two kung fu skills, even if he has the Aoki ring in his hand, he can't be regarded as the leader of my beggar gang." Elder Xuanwu said: "Before Xiang Gang Master died, Elder White Tiger was by the side of the Gang Master, since the Gang Master explained the aftermath, it is impossible for him to forget to pass on these two martial arts?" He turned his head suddenly, looked at the White Tiger, and asked, "Elder White Tiger, where are those two divine skills now?" ”
