Chapter 450: Joining forces
"Master! We're here! Just as Sikong Changming was asking about Lan Lingxue's whereabouts, another person came out from behind the temple, a young beggar, dressed in tatters, when he saw Zhu Shou's appearance, he immediately panicked, and said in his heart: "It's him!" Why is he here again. Are you here to get me? Finished! That's it! I thought he would forget about it after hiding for so many years, but in the end he still chased him. Does it look the same? ”
"Ergou! Come on! Let me introduce you, by the way, what's your name? Sikong Changming wanted to introduce Zhu Shou, but remembered that he didn't know Zhu Shou's name, which was really embarrassing.
"My name is Zhu Shou! Hello this brother! ”
"Huh?" The young beggar trembled when he heard Zhu Shou introduce his name, "Zhu Shou, Zhu Houzhao, both surnamed Zhu, this must be the same person!" This Zhu Shou is Zhu Houzhao's pseudonym, he must not recognize me! ”
Zhu Shou secretly wondered, how could this guy see himself so unnatural? Could it be that you have something to do with me? But this guy has never seen it before.
"Ergou, why are you so rude? Little Brother Zhu Shou is greeting you. Sikong Changming glared at Li Ergou and said,
It turns out that this Li Ergou is Zhu Qinwei back then, and he is also Li Guang's nephew, Li Guang's rebellion was under the banner of Zhu Qinjiong, the descendant of Emperor Jianwen. Li Ergou is now wearing the clothes of a traitorous mastermind, if he is recognized by Zhu Shou, not only him, but also Sikong Changming and the entire beggar gang will be killed. Harbouring traitors is a big crime of the Nine Clans! Uprooting the entire beggar gang is considered small.
"Brother Zhu, you are small!" Li Ergou said incoherently,
Zhu Shou was speechless, Brother Zhu, you are young, how excited do you have to be to say this? "Huh!" Zhu Shou laughed dryly and stopped paying attention to Li Ergou, estimating that his brain was abnormal. It's better to talk to him less.
Sikong Changming glanced at Li Ergou angrily and shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: "Alas! What have I done? In this life, I accepted an apprentice, and I also accepted such a product. It's better not to take it. ”
Thinking of the process of teaching Li Ergou martial arts over the years is a sadness, this Li Ergou has no heart to learn art at all, he eats and sleeps all day long, sleeps and eats, and follows him to mess around, Sikong Changming wants to drive him away several times, but this Li Ergou can usually get himself a lot of delicious food, so Sikong Changming has not chased him again.
"Master, it's nothing I'll get you food first!" After saying that, he hurriedly walked away, Li Ergou didn't dare to stay for a moment, he was really afraid of being recognized. But he didn't know that Zhu Shou hadn't seen him at all, and thought that Zhu Qinwei was dead. How could he have thought that the person in front of him was Zhu Qinjiong, who wanted to fight for the throne back then.
Li Ergou left, Sikong Changming didn't stop him, he said that he would get him something to eat, of course he wouldn't stop him.
"That's right! What is Brother Zhu doing here? Sikong Changming remembered that he hadn't asked Zhu Shou for the purpose of coming to him.
Zhu Shou smiled bitterly, do you think I want to come? "Elder Sikong misunderstood, I didn't come to you, but exchanged items with your subordinates and was caught by him as a spy!" Zhu Shou sorted out the causes and consequences clearly, and also avoided any misunderstandings.
"Oh? Is it? Hahaha! This is also normal. But Sikong Changming disagreed,
"Why did the seniors say this?" Zhu Shou felt strange, did this beggar gang also make any moves?
Sikong Changming paused and said: "Now that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kou is about to break out, my beggar gang is still the largest gang in the world as the Ming people, of course, I have to do something within my ability." The leader of this gang is now negotiating with the elders of the beggar gang to fight against the Japanese invaders. Although I don't have much power as a gang leader, I need the consent of all the elders to mobilize my brothers to go to battle. Alas! But ......." Thinking of this, Sikong Changming sighed, needless to say, Zhu Shou naturally understood.
"It's good that the helper has this heart." Zhu Shou was very moved after hearing this, if the people of the country were like this, the Japanese would not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty at all.
"What are you going to trade with them?" Sikong Changming asked strangely, what is in this beggar's hand that is worth exchanging for?
Zhu Shou smiled mysteriously and said, "You also know what the situation is in the rivers and lakes now, right?" It's no secret that the sword demon is bloody in the rivers and lakes, and you must know that I am being chased and killed by him, so I want to disguise myself to avoid his pursuit. Zhu Shou didn't know if he had chased and killed him, but he felt that it was safe to change into a beggar's suit, and he could ask for food all the way, and it was no problem to fool all the way to the capital.
"Hmmm! I know that. "The chief of the sky knows everything about stopping the killing tomorrow morning, but he cares more about state affairs than the affairs in the rivers and lakes. I only let the brothers of the beggars pay more attention to the Japanese gangsters, and they just know about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they don't plan to care.
"Isn't that Sikong senior ready to take in the sword demon?"
Sikong Changming shook his head after hearing this, "That's the business of the people in the rivers and lakes, I can't control it." I only care about the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty. ”
It turned out that he was still a patriot, which is really rare. However, Zhu Shou knew that the killing was now crazy, and it was the entire Ming Dynasty that threatened it, not just a single Jianghu. "Then have you ever thought that if the sword demon solves the people in the rivers and lakes, he will attack your beggar gang, and then your beggar gang will not be an opponent, and in the end there is only the country left. If he is not stopped in time, he will endanger the whole country! ”
"Huh?" Sikong Changming frowned after hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Shou's words were actually not unreasonable, the sword demon was like a broken bamboo, no matter whether he had an enmity with him or not, he killed him, and he saw that posture did have the potential to kill everyone. "What do you mean, little brother?"
"I suggest that Sikong seniors stand up and save Wulin! With your prestige, the small sects will listen to you, you only need to gather the surrounding small sects now, and wait for the martial arts alliance leader to appear and give orders together! Let's join forces now! ”
"Where is the Martial Arts Alliance Master?" The whole martial arts are looking for the leader of the martial arts alliance, although Sikong Changming doesn't care, he also wants to know, after all, the sword demon is going to threaten the country.
Zhu Shou pointed in one direction and said, "Capital!" ”
"The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is in the capital? No way? Sikong Changming obviously didn't believe it, generally the previous martial arts alliance masters stayed on the mountains or islands, and it was the first time he heard that the martial arts alliance leaders were in the capital.
"That's right! He is there, senior, you help me prepare a beggar suit now, and the dishes and chopsticks for rice, I will set off immediately, and we will be in the small temple of this city on the other day! ”
"Good! I'll listen to you. I'll get you clothes right now. Then please. Sikong Changming took a deep breath and asked the beggar to help the disciple prepare for Zhu Shou.
