That night, Zhang Yang and the four of them were arranged to rest in a side room. Don't underestimate a side room, there are not too many rooms in Lujiazhuang, so most heroes are a few people or even a dozen people squeezed into a room.

Only guests with special status can enjoy special treatment, if it were not for Zhang Yangdang's victory over Sun Buer outside the village, I am afraid that he would not be able to enjoy this treatment.

The next morning, Zhang Yang heard from a beggar that Quan Zhen's five sons had a big quarrel with Yang Guo and were all angry. He had seen that the bull's nose of the Quanzhen Sect was not very pleasing to the eye, so he was naturally happy to see it.

After breakfast, the beggars in the village began to get busy. Zhang Yang knew that there was another important link in the Heroes Conference today, that is, Huang Rong passed the position of the leader of the beggar gang to Lu Youjiao.

First, taking advantage of the handover of the beggar gang leader, the heroes of the rivers and lakes were invited to watch the ceremony, and the other was to discuss how to help the Great Song army resist the Mongol soldiers.

This day is the official day of the Heroes Conference, and there are more guests coming from Dasheng Pass, which can even be described as a sea of people.

Even if Lujiazhuang is indeed very large, those heroes who enter the rivers and lakes also stuff the entire Zhuangzi to the brim, and almost every courtyard can see heroes from all over the world.

Zhang Yang came to see the excitement, so naturally he wanted to come to the place with the most people, and the group of four returned to yesterday's martial arts arena again.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong were also there, and they were communicating with a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer and a scribe who looked like a down-and-out scholar in a long robe.

Behind the Guo couple stood Guo Fu and Xiao Wu, the two spearhead boys were overjoyed when they saw the farmer, and they looked extremely happy.

"I didn't expect that the three links of the martial arts were also here." Li Mochou couldn't help frowning when he saw the man dressed as a farmer.

"Mo Chou, do you know that person?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"Xianggong, that person is the Wu Santong under the seat of the master of a lamp, I ...... back then When I destroyed Lu Zhanyuan's whole family, this person was also present, and in the end, his wife was also killed by me, so this person and I can be said to have an incomparable enmity. In front of Zhang Yang, Li Mochou didn't dare to lie, so he told the things of the year.

Zhang Yang naturally knew what she did back then, and even knew that Wu Santong went to rescue Lu Zhanyuan and his wife back then, but it was actually for his adopted daughter He Yuanjun. This guy violates ethics and actually likes his adopted daughter, which is also a strange thing.

"That farmer is Wu Santong, and the other person dressed as a scholar is the fourth-ranked scholar Zhu Ziliu." Combined with the original work, Zhang Yang immediately thought of the identity of another person.

He remembered that there were four major disciples of Yuqiao Cultivation and Reading under the seat of Master Yideng, Wu Santong ranked third, and Zhu Ziliu ranked fourth.

After breakfast, all the beggars gathered in the forest outside Lujiazhuang.

The replacement of the old and new gang leaders is the most solemn celebration of the beggar gang, and the disciples of all the seniors in the southeast and northwest are all present to participate, and the heroes who came to Lujiazhuang to participate in the heroic banquet are also invited to watch the ceremony.

As Qunhao came to the woods, Zhang Yang and the four of them found a position on a high slope and stood and looked inside.

I saw Huang Rong, who was still outstanding, standing in the center of the crowd, and said loudly: "For more than ten years, Lu Youjiao has been handling the help on my behalf, and he has always been fair and upright, daring to act, and the dirty clothes and clean clothes in the beggar gang are all happy and convinced. Now I pass on the position of the Beggar Gang to Elder Lu, hoping that under his leadership, the Beggar Gang will continue to flourish. ”

After saying this, Huang Rong held the jade dog-beating stick high, and handed it to Lu Youjiao, who looked excited, with both hands.

After Huang Rong announced according to the gang rules, all the beggar gang disciples spat on him together, only to vomit his head and face, and thick phlegm in front of and behind him, so the new gang leader took over.

"It's disgusting to be spit out by this group of stinky beggars, if I don't want to be the leader of the beggar gang!" Hong Lingbo said with disgust on his face.

Zhang Yang, who came through the crossing, also felt quite sick to his stomach, especially the thick phlegm on Lu You's feet and mouth, he was extremely disgusted to see, and I don't know how Huang Rong survived this hurdle back then.

After the handover, I suddenly saw an old beggar jump on the boulder and said loudly: "Old Gang Master Hong has an order and orders me to convey it." ”

When the gang heard this, they cheered in unison. They hadn't received information from the old gang leader for more than ten years, and when they suddenly heard that he had an order, everyone's expressions were overjoyed.

A beggar in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "I wish the old gang leader Hong well, and I wish him a hundred years of old life!" ”

Hundreds of beggars in the venue chanted together, and the cries came and went, and it really shook the heavens and the earth, and it stopped for a long time.

Zhang Yang was originally quite disdainful of the position of the leader of the beggar gang, but at this time, seeing that everyone in the group was excited, and some even burst into tears, he couldn't help but think: "The husband has to be like this, so that he will not walk in this world in vain." ”

As far as he knew, if the plot hadn't changed, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng would have died together and slept underground.

I only heard the old beggar say: "Half a year ago, I met the old gang leader Hong in Shixing County, Shaozhou, Guangnan East Road, and drank a meal with his old man. He was in good health, had an excellent appetite, and drank as much as before. ”

When the beggars heard this, they shouted loudly again, mixed with a lot of laughter.

The old beggar continued: "Over the years, the old gang leader has killed a lot of dog officials and bullies who have brought disaster to the country and the people, and he said that he just heard the news that there are five big villains called what are the five ugly people in Tibet, and they have done a lot of bad things in the eastern Sichuan and Huguang areas under the orders of the Mongolian Tartars, and his old man will rush to investigate, if this is the case, he will naturally take the lives of these five dogs." ”

"The five ugly people in the Tibetan border were rampant for a while, but their whereabouts were erratic, and our brothers in eastern Sichuan never found them. Recently, he suddenly disappeared, and he must have been killed by the old gang leader. A middle-aged beggar stood up and chimed in.

When the beggar disciples and the group of people who watched the ceremony heard this, they also admired it from the bottom of their hearts, and they couldn't help but applaud.

"The old gang leader Hong said, when there is a big chaos today, the Mongolian Tatars are gradually invading the south and devouring the world of our Great Song Dynasty, all my helpers must be loyal, swear to kill the enemy, and resist foreign enemies." The old beggar said again.

When the beggars heard this, they agreed in unison, and their expressions were extremely excited.

"The political affairs of the court are disordered, and the ministers are in charge, and it is impossible to ask those stinky officials to protect the country and the people. At present, the external troubles are deep, everyone must have a heart to donate their lives to serve the country, Hong Lao Gang leader ordered me to encourage all good brothers, to swear to protect the family and defend the country, and not let the Mongolian Tartars have a chance. The old beggar continued to talk.

The group of beggars responded with a bang and shouted in unison: "Swear to respect the lessons of the old gang leader Hong." ”

This chant shook the sky, and the momentum was extraordinary, and Zhang Yang was also slightly touched when he heard this.

At noon, the hero conference officially began, and more than 200 seats were opened in the main hall, front hall, back hall, wing hall and flower hall of Lujiazhuang, and more than half of the world's famous heroes and heroes went to the banquet.

This heroic banquet is a rare event in decades, and if it weren't for the extensive travel of the Guo couple and the admiration of everyone, it would never have been possible to invite so many martial arts heroes.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong accompanied the guest of honor and were located in the main hall, and Zhang Yang and the four were also arranged in the corner of the main hall.

The dishes were served one after another, and I saw Lu Youjiao, the new leader of the beggar gang, holding a wine glass and standing up from his seat.

He raised his glass and toasted a glass of wine to the heroes, and said loudly: "The leader of the gang Hong sent an order, saying that the southern invasion of Mongolia is urgent, and he ordered the gang to fight against foreign enemies. Now that the heroes of the world will gather here, everyone is loyal, and we must discuss a clever plan so that the Mongolian Tartars will not dare to offend our Great Song Dynasty again. ”

After he said these few words, the heroes stood up one after another, and they scolded the Mongols for their wolf ambitions.

Most of the people who came to the hero's banquet were men with blood surnames, and seeing that the rise and fall of the country was imminent, they had long been worried.

A silver-haired old man stood up and said in a loud voice: "As the saying goes, a snake can't be without a head, we have no ambition to serve the country, if there is no leader, it will be difficult to achieve great things." Today, most of the heroes are here, and most of them will elect a heroic man who is highly respected and convinced by everyone, led by him, and everyone is under orders. ”

The crowd cheered together, and someone shouted: "It's better for your old man to take the lead, you don't need to recommend others!" ”

The old man laughed and said, "What kind of person is my stinky old man?" Martial arts masters, led by the Eastern Evil, the Western Poison, the Southern Emperor, the Northern Beggar, and the Zhongshentong. Zhongshentong Chongyang Zhenren Immortal has been gone for many years, the lord of the East Evil Yellow Island is alone, the West Poison is not a person in my generation, the Southern Emperor is far away in Dali, not the people of my Great Song Dynasty. The leader of the group of heroes is none other than the old man of Bei Beggar. ”

Hong Qigong is the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and it is really expected, and the heroes applaud together, and there is no objection.

"Old Gang Leader Hong is naturally the leader of the alliance, in addition to his old man, what kind of artist can convince the public, be virtuous and win people, and can take on this great responsibility?" One of the people said loudly.

The old man suddenly shook his head and said: "But the old gang leader Hong acts out of nowhere, and it is rare to show his face once in ten years. ”

"That's true." The heroes nodded one after another, if Hong Qigong is no longer there, then the position of the alliance leader will be an empty shelf.

"What we are doing today is all about serving the country loyally, and we have no selfishness. Let's nominate a deputy alliance leader, when the leader of the Hong Lao League travels all over the world, everyone obeys him, is this method good? One of the eight bags of beggars stood up and said.

When everyone heard this, they thought that this method was very good, and they spoke one after another, and they all said the candidate who was suitable for the deputy leader of the alliance in their minds.

Some said Guo Daxia, some said Lu Gang Master, and some said Qiu Zhenren of the Quanzhen Sect, for a while, there were different opinions, and the hall was not lively.

It was rare for Zhang Yang to participate in such a grand gathering, so he just listened quietly and did not say a word on the side.

When he was busy, four Taoists walked in quickly at the entrance of the hall, but they were Hao Datong, Sun Buer, Zhao Zhijing, and Yin Zhiping.

"Aren't these four guys gone, why are they coming back?" Zhang Yang secretly wondered.

Guo Jing and Lu Guanying were overjoyed and hurriedly left the table to greet each other. The Quanzhen faction is known as the authentic martial arts in the world, and if there is no master of the Quanzhen faction in the hero's banquet today, it will naturally be greatly inferior.

Hao Datong's expression was not very natural, he came to Guo Jing's side and whispered something in his ear.

Guo Jing listened to his words, and his originally relaxed face gradually became solemn, and he didn't know what Hao Datong said to him.

At that moment, only the sound of trumpets outside the gate could be heard, followed by the intermittent sound of drumming.

"Visitors from outside the door, greet the VIPs!" As soon as Lu Guanying heard the sound of the drum, he immediately said.

As soon as his voice stopped, dozens of people stood tall and low in front of the hall, all of whom had cold faces and no joy at all.

The crowd in the hall was cheering and drinking, and they were all slightly surprised to see so many people breaking into the hall. But they all thought that these people must be people who came to the hero's banquet, and when they saw that there was no acquaintance in them, they didn't care.

Zhang Yang looked at the door curiously, but he knew two of them, and saw that the one with a pale face who was dressed as a noble son was Huo Du, and the other one with a strong body was naturally Darba.

At this time, the two of them stood on both sides, and in the middle stood a short and thin Tibetan monk wearing a red robe. (To be continued.) )
