Chapter 34: The 100-person Apology Conference
This time, it starts with [Wolf Ambition] and [Gathering of Heroes]. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason is very simple, the [Wolf Ambition] jungle sphere of influence is just next to the territory of [Gathering of Heroes], the range of [Wolf Ambition] is a level 28 Blood Demon Wolf Monster, and [Heroes Gathering] is a level 27 Red Demon Wolf Monster.
It just so happened that a little brother in [Gathering of Heroes] beat the red wolf for a long time, and finally beat the red wolf to the point that there was only a trace of blood, but at the last moment, a moment of negligence let the red wolf run into the sphere of influence of [wolf ambition], and he didn't run far when he met a little brother of [wolf ambition] and wiped out the red wolf as soon as he raised his hand.
Now the little brother of [Gathering of Heroes] quit, and he finally worked hard for a long time, but in the end he ended up with a wedding dress made for others, and no one was willing to change it. But the little brother of [Wolf Ambition] is also very reasonable, the wild monster is whose territory it is, isn't it the usual practice in the whole Yangzhou to solve this kind of thing? The two quarreled, and neither of them was convinced, and finally had to settle it by force.
Originally, it was a matter of those two people, but the problem was not that simple.
The two gangs of [Gathering of Heroes] and [Wolf Ambition] have similar territories, and there is a lot of friction in ordinary times. What's more, the two of them singled it out, and the [Heroes Gathering] younger brother who suffered a loss happened to be the brother-in-law of the helper.
It's even worse now, this is Chi Guoguo's public provocation!
The conflict immediately escalated into a matter between the two gangs, so the two sides made an appointment at a time and place to start a group fight, and whoever had a hard fist was the boss.
There are more [Wolf Ambition] masters, but the number of [Heroes Gathering] has more than doubled.
Therefore, no matter how stupid the [Wolf Ambition] gang leader is, he will not be stupid enough to be directly hard, so he quietly invited some masters of the allied gang [Beacon Wolf Smoke] to mix in his gang in advance.
A fierce battle, [Gathering of Heroes] was defeated.
Of course, your [Wolf Ambition] can be clever, but [Gathering of Heroes] is not stupid, and the gang leader of [Gathering of Heroes] immediately found out that something was wrong, and then sent a request for help to the upline gang of the allied gang of his own alliance gang, [Winning the Central Plains].
[Winning the Central Plains] is an official licensed gang, there are many masters in the gang, and it is one of the three major gangs that Shouchun really has strength!
However, the martial arts competition was imminent, and [Winning the Central Plains] didn't want to be distracted by such a small matter, so he handed over the matter to his subordinate gang [Yiyan Jiuding] to deal with.
[Yiyan Jiuding] is also a nominal gang, but as a direct subordinate gang of [Winning the Central Plains], who dares not to give some face in the entire Shouchun?
In order to fully demonstrate his sincerity, [Beacon Wolf Smoke] deliberately chose the largest teahouse in Shouchun - Lu Zijing Teahouse to publicly apologize for serving tea.
That's why there was this 100-person apology meeting.
The 100-person apology meeting is a unique apology ceremony in Yangzhou, and it is also a kind of practice, which will only be carried out between gangs and gangs, of course, if it is to offend a special person or super master, in order to avoid the whole gang being a pot, this kind of ritual will also happen.
In summary, there are two main characteristics of this ritual.
The first is the large number of people. Although the 100-person apology meeting is nominally called "100 people", in reality there may not really be 100 people, but at least 50, 60, 70 or 80 people.
Dozens of people, after training, bent down and bowed their heads according to a unified standard posture under the slogan of unity. It is both neat and imposing, fully showing the sincerity of the apologists, and at the same time showing that he is not a rabble, if you have to kill them all, then I will not sit still and be slaughtered.
The second is openness. As we all know, the Chinese want to save face, and the so-called death wants face and live to suffer crimes. For the sake of face, it is okay to suffer a little sin. If you lose face, then you will go out and fight with you. If you have enough face, everything can be solved.
So where does face come from?
Quite simply, from someone else's point of view.
Face is vanity on the surface. It doesn't matter what you are, it's what others think of you.
If no one sees it, it won't hurt your image if you roll around and kowtow and beg for mercy. On the contrary, as long as one person sees it, even if you don't know this person at all, the pain in your heart will be multiplied and magnified.
In a word, as a winner, as long as someone is watching and someone is watching, you will have face. The more onlookers, the bigger your face.
Okay, now there is pomp and circumstance, there must be occasions, and there will be audiences and audiences, and this 100-person apology meeting is interesting and sincere enough.
After accepting the commission, Lin Yuanzheng came to the east of the city to gather as required, where hundreds of players had already gathered, and the plan of [Beacon Wolf Smoke] was to recruit enough five hundred, but in the end only recruited more than four hundred.
Summoned more than 400 people to apologize?
The scale of this apology conference is definitely Shouchun, no, it is the largest since the entire Yangzhou apology conference has been in this form! It's definitely a record-breaker and can be written into the history books!
Sincere enough!
Next, the training begins.
What to train?
A ritual, of course. The entire apology meeting requires hundreds of people to make a neat gesture together, such as bowing their heads, bending over, bowing, or something.
"Come, come, everybody take the weapons in their hands, and those who don't have weapons come and get a stick. One hundred people stand in a phalanx, with the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the Vermilion Bird in front, and the Xuanwu in the rear. A hall master named "Smoke Rises" waved a small flag to train them.
Do you still need to carry weapons at the apology conference? Lin Yuanzheng couldn't figure it out, but anyway, he was a newcomer and didn't understand anything, and he would do it well with what the people around him did.
Lin Yuanzheng had no weapons, a gang brother came over and took a stick to him, looked at him very strangely, and then walked to the hall master Fengyan Zaiqi and muttered a few words, Fengyan Zaiqi immediately strode towards Lin Yuanzheng.
"Hey, you're new? Don't have a vocational skill yet? Fengyan frowned again, very dissatisfied with Lin Yuanzheng.
"Doesn't it mean that as long as you are in good health and have sound limbs, you can sign up?" Lin Yuanzheng was a little nervous, and finally found a suitable job, don't just lose it. He didn't have a rank insignia on him, and he couldn't hide it anyway.
Fengyan shook his head again, looked around for a while, and saw that he didn't recruit enough people as planned, and finally didn't rush Lin Yuanzheng away, but just put down a sentence in a rough voice: "Look at the flag and go, if you want to get on it, you can get on, you know?" If you dare to take half a step back, see how I clean you up! ”
Lin Yuanzheng was quite unhappy in his heart: Isn't it just a little hall master? What a stinky shelf! But there is a good saying: when you take someone else's bowl, you have to obey someone else's tube. Lin Yuanzheng finally endured.
Two hours passed, and most of the training was taught how to charge and kill, surround, and build a wall of flesh and blood with their bodies to contain them.
Is this an apology convention training? It doesn't look like it. It's not so much a rehearsal of an apology ceremony, but a rehearsal of a set of formations or something. Of course, in the end, the imaginary bending and bowing were rehearsed, but they were disbanded after just two casual strokes.
The next afternoon, it was 1:30 p.m. when Lin Yuanzheng came to Lu Zijing Teahouse.
The original plan was to start at 2 o'clock, but in order to fully show its sincerity, [Beacon Wolf Smoke] specially asked for half an hour earlier. Of course, there is no accurate clock or mobile phone in this world to tell the time, but there are sundials in the city, and the official name is the hour.
At two o'clock, the important high-level figures of the event organizer came on time, and the personnel were as follows:

At 2:10 a.m., the protagonist of the event finally appeared, and the personnel were as follows:

In the joyful sound of gongs and drums of the band--a rock band composed of the gang brothers of the [Heroes Gathered]--[Yiyan Jiuding] Jun Wuxian led the old man Liangshan and a number of representatives to walk slowly to the teahouse, and the apology team, including Lin Yuanzheng, stood on both sides of the teahouse until the upper floor of the second floor, and welcomed them with warm applause.
At 2:20, the rock band of [Heroes Gathering] played the classic song "Stability Overrides All", Jun Wu Xiyan and Liang Shang's two gang leaders walked side by side to the front of the tea party, Jun Wu Xiyan delivered an impassioned speech of "Maintaining Shouchun Peace and Building a Harmonious Yangzhou", which was unanimously affirmed and praised by the majority of participants, and the warm applause lasted for a long time.
Uncle Liang Shan, the leader of the [Gathering of Heroes], expressed his recognition and satisfaction with the importance attached to the organizers of the event, and at the same time he also put forward his own views on why the two major gangs of [Fenglin Volcano] and [Fighter of the Soldiers] also participated.
The heads of the two gangs have said that they are just here to be a witness and a fair host, the peace of Shouchun is related to the vital interests of all people, as a member of Yangzhou has an unshirkable responsibility and obligation, the two gangs will pay close attention to the development of this matter.
At 2:30, the key ceremony of the conference officially began, and under the orderly command of the [Beacon Wolf Smoke] hall master Beacon Smoke rising, the ceremony personnel, including Lin Yuanzheng, lined up and walked up to the teahouse in a neat and orderly manner.
The teacups handed by the staff next to the [Beacon Wolf Smoke] Gang Leader Beacon Opera Princes and [Wolf Ambition] Gang Leader Jedi Blue Wolf were ready to apologize to the [One Word and Nine Ding] Gang Leader Jun Wuyan and the [Heroes Gather] Gang Leader Liang Shang's old man served tea, and the atmosphere in the venue reached a climax.
The ancient werewolf, the gang leader of [Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon], suddenly stood up and publicly questioned: For a long time, [Winning the Central Plains] has interfered in the internal affairs of Yangzhou gangs with its own strength, seriously violating the independence and autonomy of each gang, and is a concentrated manifestation of the hegemonism and chauvinism of the big gangs, and should be criticized and spurned by all peace-loving and justice-loving people in Yangzhou. As its subordinate gang, [Yiyan Jiuding] has always played the role of a pawn in a series of heinous and vicious acts of [Winning the Central Plains], and deserves to be punished.
Just when the representatives of [One Word Nine Ding] and [Heroes Gather] were stunned, the military advisors of [Wind Forest Volcano] and [Temporary Fighter] also stood up one after another to express their support for the statement of [Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon], and severely condemned [One Word and Nine Tribute].
The assembly was thrown into chaos.
[Beacon Wolf Smoke] The gang leader Beacon Opera princes slammed the teacup to the ground: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Give it to me! ”
"Brothers, give it to me!"
"The head is off but the big scar at the mouth of the bowl, and three days later he is still a good man! Come on! ”
"Don't be cowardly, just do it!"
Under the command of the banner of the resurgence of smoke, a large group of people wielding swords in their hands poured out from the corners of the teahouse and the surrounding streets, and the people of the apology who were deeply besieged but unwilling to sit still also drew their weapons and resisted under the leadership of the [Yiyan Jiuding] gang lord without jokes.
Soon after, the younger brothers of the various gangs and friends of the nearby apologized party who received the information also rushed over.
The scene was chaotic, from the teahouse to the street outside the teahouse, there were sounds of fighting and shouting everywhere.
Where is this 100-person apology conference?
It's clearly a thousand-person brawl meeting, okay!
This was the beginning of the famous "Seven Days of Bloodshed" incident.
No one expected that this incident would profoundly rewrite the entire ecological appearance of the gang in Shouchun, and also affect the historical trend of the entire Yangzhou.
"You're not going to get on yet!"
A little brother of [Beacon Wolf Smoke] saw that Lin Yuanzheng was still stunned, and flew up and kicked at him.
