Chapter 687: False Benevolence and False Righteousness
When Cao Yang and the others saw the Aoki ring, they were all awe-inspiring, and they didn't dare to say more.
Qi Ning looked at the white tiger holding Aoki finger and walking around the stargazing platform, his brows furrowed, he naturally remembered that that time the white tiger and Lu Shanghe set a trap to harm Xiang Baiying, while Xiang Baiying couldn't move, the white tiger took away the Aoki ring, the situation was urgent, Qi Ning wanted to rescue Xiang Baiying, but he neglected the existence of the Aoki ring.
At this time, the white tiger took out the Aoki ring, and with this physical evidence, even if someone had doubts in their hearts, they didn't dare to say more.
The white tiger's eyes were full of pride, and when he saw the silence around him, he said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, this is the Aoki ring, which was entrusted to me before the helper died." ”
Elder Suzaku said solemnly: "Since the helper has entrusted the Aoki Ring to Elder White Tiger, it is natural to let Elder White Tiger convey his deathbed instructions. ”
The white tiger bowed his head and said, "Exactly." I've already said a lot of instructions from the helper on his deathbed, but the most important point is ..... The choice of the successor leader. He sighed and said, "Don't hide it from you, before the helper died, he mentioned the successor helper, and I dared to make a suggestion to the helper, so that Elder Xuanwu could inherit the position of the helper.......!" ”
Many people were in their hearts, Cao Yang and the others' faces were a little ugly, but when they heard Bai Hu say this, their faces suddenly eased slightly.
"Needless to say, Elder Xuanwu's qualifications in the gang are just six years later than me, but his ability is far above mine." White Tiger Zhengse said: "I have always felt that if Elder Xuanwu inherits the position of the gang leader, he will be able to make great efforts to make my beggar gang prosperous." ”
Cao Yang and the others couldn't help but say: "Well said, Elder White Tiger is dedicated to the public, which is admirable. ”
Bai Hu smiled slightly and said, "But the helper didn't agree." The helper said that if there is turmoil today, what my beggar gang asks for is only one word, and that is a stable word. After a pause, he said: "The meaning of the helper is to let me take over the position of the helper, saying that I am old and serious, I have been in the gang for decades, and I know the affairs of the gang best. ”
Many people suddenly showed strange colors, and Qi Ning thought to himself that the white tiger's face was really thick.
"I know how many catties and taels I have, the position of the leader of the beggar gang is a thousand catties of burden, how can I be a white tiger, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility?" Baihu said solemnly: "So I repeatedly made suggestions to the helper and chose another candidate, I would never dare to have any ideas about the position of the helper, but ......!" Speaking of this, he was already in tears: "But I don't wait for the helper to choose another candidate, so I ...... It's heaven ......! After saying that, he was already crying.
As soon as he began to cry, many of the gang members cried together, and after a while, someone shouted: "Since the helper has left a will, how can we not obey it?" Ladies and gentlemen, the Aoki Ring is in the hands of Elder White Tiger, there will be nothing wrong with this, the Gang Leader has made Elder White Tiger inherit the position of Gang Leader, there must be a deep meaning, we will obey the Gang Leader's order today, and serve Elder White Tiger as the new Gang Leader. ”
For a while, many people echoed, Cao Yang frowned, hesitated, and finally said, "Wait." He turned around and arched his hand: "Brothers, Elder White Tiger also said that he has no intention of inheriting the position of the gang leader, although the gang leader intends to pass on the position of Elder White Tiger before his death, he has not made a final decision....... ”
Before he finished speaking, someone sneered: "Master Cao, since the helper didn't say anything else before he died, and he intends to let Elder Baihu inherit the position of the helper, this is naturally the last will, you say this, is it to disobey the helper's will?" ”
Someone else ridiculed: "It seems that Lord Cao Helm is bent on letting Elder Xuanwu inherit the position of Lord Helm, but it's a pity that the leader has a will, and no one can disobey it." ”
After a quarrel broke out in the audience, Baihu raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the revenge has not been avenged, how can you hurt your brother's harmony here?" What the gang leader is most worried about is this situation, do you want to let the gang leader die without turning a blind eye? ”
When he said this, the quarrel ceased.
Baihu said loudly: "What Master Cao Duo said is not unreasonable, if there is a more suitable person who can take everyone to avenge the helper, how can I care about the position of the helper?" The brothers here today might as well recommend more suitable candidates, Elder Qinglong and Elder Xuanwu were not even able to participate in the Aoki Conference this time, I am quite disappointed in my heart, what do you think of Elder Suzaku? As long as everyone agrees, let's support Elder Suzaku as the helper. ”
Elder Suzaku's face changed slightly, and he reluctantly smiled: "Don't dare, my martial arts skills are not as good as Elder Xuanwu, my wisdom is not as good as that of Elder White Tiger, and I have no desire to covet the help master." ”
There was a humane in the audience: "Elder White Tiger has been in the gang for the longest time and has the most seniority. I think that if there was no Tianzong talent of Xiang Gang Leader back then, Elder White Tiger would already be our gang leader, and now that Xiang Gang Leader has been killed, among the hundreds of thousands of beggars in the gang, there is no one more suitable to take on the important task of helping leader than Elder White Tiger. ”
"Yes, the helper handed over the Aoki Ring to Elder White Tiger, and a decision has been made, if anyone is not convinced, then there is a ghost in his heart." Someone chimed in loudly: "The gang leader was killed in Xichuan, and Elder White Tiger knows everything about Xichuan, and Elder White Tiger will succeed us as the gang leader, which will naturally allow us to take revenge as soon as possible." ”
Baihu raised his hand and said: "Everyone, our beggar gang to choose a gang leader, not only must have qualifications, but also have good martial arts, otherwise the dignified beggar gang leader has mediocre martial arts, and he will always make fellow people laugh at the rivers and lakes." Choosing a helper may not only be selected from among the elders, among the twenty-eight helmsmen, if there is a person with high martial arts and extraordinary ability, we can also choose him as the helper. He said loudly: "If there is a helmsman who thinks he has outstanding ability, he can also recommend himself, this is for the future of my beggars, and there is no need to scruple." ”
Many people heard Bai Hu say this, and secretly thought that Elder White Tiger was really dedicated to the beggars.
Qi Ning watched the white tiger perform on the stage, sneered in his heart, and secretly thought that this white tiger's pretentious posture was nothing more than to make everyone think that he really didn't have much ambition for the position of the gang leader, and the twenty helmsmen may not have strong martial arts, but they lack prestige, and it is really difficult to find that they want to be superior in prestige qualifications and martial arts to the white tiger.
Qi Ning secretly thought that he didn't have to make trouble early today, this Aoki Conference, his purpose was to prevent the White Tiger from ascending to the position of the gang leader, if someone else challenged the white tiger, he could hide to the side and watch the excitement, as long as the position of the gang leader could not reach the hands of the white tiger, it would be done.
There was silence all around.
Except for a few people who failed to arrive, most of the twenty-eight helmsmen were present, but some people were also ready to move, but everyone knew that standing up at this time, not to mention that it may not be the opponent of the White Tiger, even if it really defeated the White Tiger, it would make people think that they were hungry for power in the future, and took the initiative to compete for the position of the gang leader.
The white tiger looked around before sighing: "Since everyone is unwilling to stand up, I won't force it." I had to obey the last orders of the helper. It's not that I covet the position of the gang leader, but now I want to elect the gang leader to avenge the gang leader, this matter can not be delayed, I will rely on the old to sell the old, if everyone has no objection, the old flower child will bear the burden for the time being, but today I will first say good, if the gang leader revenge is revenge, everyone thinks I am not suitable to bear this burden, we need to re-elect the gang leader, what do you think? ”
The disciples of the beggar gang whispered, the people present today, if they talk about seniority, they can be regarded as the Vermilion Bird Elder, it is also incomparable with the white tiger, according to seniority, the white tiger is the choice of the helper, in addition, the white tiger holds the Aoki ring, and there is a helper's will, many people are thinking in their hearts, and there is really no one who can compete with the white tiger for the position at the moment.
Qi Ning secretly thought that Elder Xuanwu had the best chance to compete with the White Tiger, but at this moment, this person was still missing, could it be that he was really like the Qinglong Elder Lou Wenshi, Xuanwu was also intercepted by someone in the middle of the road, and his life and death were uncertain.
He looked up at the sky, then looked at the stargazing platform, and saw that Elder Suzaku no longer spoke, it seemed that the overall situation had been decided, knowing that if he didn't speak at this time, the White Tiger Successor Gang Leader was afraid that it would be inevitable, so he stood up and said in a loud voice: "Elder White Tiger, with all due respect, you can't do this position of gang leader." ”
There was silence in all directions, Qi Ning suddenly spoke, everyone could hear it clearly, many people were taken aback, Baihu frowned, but instantly stretched out, walked to the side of the stage, looked at Qi Ning, and said with a smile: "Lord Wei, do you have a more suitable candidate?" ”
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know if there is a more suitable candidate, but I only know that the White Tiger is honestly not suitable." ”
Immediately, someone shouted and reprimanded: "Elder White Tiger succeeded to the gang leader, that is the last order of the gang leader, and regardless of qualifications and martial arts, he is the best among us, why is it not suitable?" Could it be that you, Wei Duo, are going to come out and compete for the position of gang leader? ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "Elder White Tiger also said that as long as you feel that you are talented, it is okay to recommend yourself. But I don't have the heart to recommend myself right now. Staring at the White Tiger, he asked, "Elder White Tiger, dare to ask the Fire Monkey Helmsman Cao Wei if he is your apprentice?" ”
Cao Weibai, the fire monkey, is under the White Tiger Gate, and is the personal disciple of the White Tiger, and many people in the beggar gang know about this matter, and the White Tiger bowed his head and said: "Not bad." ”
"Dare to ask where Lord Cao Duo is now?" Qi Ning asked.
After a commotion in the audience, someone said: "Master Cao Duo is unwell, and he did not come to the meeting today." ”
"Not feeling well?" Qi Ning smiled: "But I don't know where Lord Cao Duo is unwell, and where is he recuperating now?" ”
Baihu frowned and said, "Whether Cao Wei is here or not, what does it have to do with the new gang leader today?" ”
Qi Ning said lightly: "The beggar gang has been a gang for hundreds of years, and serving as the leader of the beggar gang not only requires qualifications and martial arts, but also character. If some roosters, dogs, thieves, and shameless people become gang leaders, wouldn't they want to ruin the century-old reputation of the beggar gang? ”
As soon as these words came out, the white tiger suddenly changed color, and many people in the audience stood up suddenly, and someone already said sharply: "The surname is Wei, what do you mean by this?" Who do you say is a rooster and a dog thief? ”
