Chapter XXVI. Apricot Grove Conference (Part I)

After saying goodbye to Qiao Feng in the apricot forest, Lu Zhi and Duan Yu returned to the post station.

"Daoist Qingzhi, do you say that the Qiao Gang Leader can handle these things in the Beggar Gang?" Duan Yu asked at Lu Zhi.

Qiao Feng had previously said that he would try to deal with the matter by himself and let the beggars help him solve it internally, so as not to let such an ugly matter leak out, which could not help but take a big blow to the prestige of their beggar gang, and also provoked the ridicule of the fellow people in the rivers and lakes.

So he asked Lu Zhi and Duan Yu not to make a big deal about it.

However, Lu Zhi was not optimistic that Qiao Feng would be able to handle this matter.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, among the beggars, many people are dissatisfied with Qiao Feng's ascension... As long as there was an opportunity, it would be absolutely impossible for that group of people to give up any possibility and pull Qiao Feng down from the position of gang leader. ”

"So even if there is no matter that Kang Min and everyone framed Qiao Feng, those people in the beggar gang will find an opportunity to attack Qiao Feng by themselves."

"What's more, once Qiao Feng's background as a Khitan is revealed, no matter how much he has contributed to the beggars before, those people will inevitably seize this point and then force Qiao Feng to step down."

However, those people in the beggar gang targeted Qiao Feng, not because he was a Khitan or a Han or anything, but purely for profit.

The beggar gang, known as the largest gang in the world, has a prominent prestige in the rivers and lakes, and there are many disciples in the gang, and under the leadership of Wang Jiantong and Qiao Feng over the years, they have many chivalrous names.

But for some people in the beggar gang, this chivalrous name is not even bullshit at all, but secretly complains about Qiao Feng because of this.

It was not their intention to help the imperial court fight against the Western Xia, after all, it would kill people to fight with the Western Xia people!

And they all went to be the heroes who protected the country and the people, what should they do about their own affairs?

What's more, as soon as Qiao Feng took the position, he directly cut off the financial resources of some people in the beggar gang, which is the main reason why those people want to deal with Qiao Feng.

Don't look at the beggar gang now everyone admires in the rivers and lakes, and everyone praises it when it is mentioned, but it is all because of the efforts of Qiao Feng and some of the beggar gang disciples.

And the real beggars are far from being as chivalrous and perfect as they themselves packaged.

For the beggar gang, it is most appropriate to use a mixture of dragons and snakes to evaluate it, among the beggar gang, there are many real heroes like Qiao Feng, real heroes, but there are also many things like beasts.

- From ancient times to the present, the largest group of human traffickers in the world is also this beggar gang!

So don't think that the beggar gang is full of a group of people called Huazi, in fact, there are always a lot of characters such as the extremely rich businessman Jia in the beggar gang.

The beggar gang has never been just a simple gang, although they all claim to be called Huazi, but have you ever seen the opening of Qinglou casinos, taverns and tooth shops, and even human trafficking, undertaking bonus assassinations, and even incarnating as roadblocks robbers, killing people and stealing goods called Huazi?

Many people who claim to be disciples of the Beggar Gang are actually a group of bandits and thieves! They just borrowed the name of the beggar gang to add a layer of identity to themselves to facilitate their actions.

And after Qiao Feng took the position, the first thing he did was to rectify the cancer in this group of beggars, so that he offended many people in the beggar gang.

Those people were cleaned up by Qiao Feng, and warned them not to do such hurtful things in the future, how could they be willing in their hearts?

After all, as the saying goes, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents.

Even if he was forced by Qiao Feng's majesty at that time, he had to pretend to repent and agree, but secretly, I am afraid that I don't know how many times I have cursed Qiao Feng!

So Lu Zhicai said that Qiao Feng would definitely not be able to handle this matter alone.... His background has been held in the hands of those people as a handle, as long as they bite this point to attack Qiao Feng, they can make him unable to parry.

After all, people in this era attach great importance to a person's origin and bloodline, and it can even affect the subjective consciousness of most people!

Duan Yu said again: "Then, Dao Chief, will you help Qiao Gang Leader at that time?" ”

Lu Zhi nodded: "Of course." ”

After all, he came here for this matter, so naturally it was impossible to sit idly by and find Qiao Feng in advance to tell him the inside story, so that he could prepare in advance and cooperate with him at that time.

On the other side, after Qiao Feng left the apricot forest, he also quickly returned to Wu/Tin City, thinking about things secretly all the way, and even when others greeted him, he couldn't react.

“.. Helper, what's wrong with you? But what happened? Why do you look preoccupied? ”

Qiao Feng turned his head to look at the person who spoke, who was none other than the helmsman of the Beggar Gang of Wu/Tin Branches.

"Ah, Master Li, Qiao is fine, I'm just thinking about something."

"Don't talk about this, by the way, Elder Bai Shijing... Now in the rudder? ”

The Li Duo Master replied: "No, about two hours ago, a disciple came over to spread the word, saying that Elder Chen Guyan had something to discuss with Elder Bai, and then Elder Bai went over with that disciple, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Isn't it there..."Qiao Feng pursed his lips, he originally wanted to find Bai Shijing alone and ask him about Ma Dayuan in person, but if he wasn't there now, he could only let it go first.

After returning to the rudder, Qiao Feng kept thinking about the things Lu Zhi said to him in his mind, and he didn't sleep all night, and when he got up the next day, his two eye pupils were already bloodshot, which showed the weight of his worries.

Originally, he also wanted to find Bai Shijing and others one by one today, and take the first step to explain Ma Dayuan and his life experience to them.

It is also avoided that tomorrow, in the apricot forest, in front of many martial arts heroes, everyone will lose face and be ruined.

But he couldn't find any of them, and the disciples he had sent out to invite them to come also came back one after another, saying that they had something very important to discuss, and they really couldn't spare time to come and meet him when they were invited.

Hearing this, Qiao Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Discuss something important? I'm afraid it's discussing, how to deal with me Qiao Feng, right? Avoiding me now is also afraid that I will see some flaws, so I have to deliberately avoid me, right?

At this moment, Qiao Feng suddenly felt lonely and desolate, he didn't expect that he, the gang leader, would fail so much, so that he ended up in such a situation where everyone betrayed his relatives and left him now.

Everyone cursed him maliciously behind his back, and he was ruined and ruined, and everyone secretly conspired behind his back to frame himself, and to expose him in front of all the heroes of the world that he was actually a Khitan dog thief...

Qiao Feng sneered sadly, and couldn't help but shake his head, and the expression on his face gradually became cold and indifferent.

In that case, it will be as you wish, but I just hope that when the time comes, you will not be cocooned and set yourself on fire!

Then, it wasn't until the next day, after the Apricot Forest Conference, that he met the beggar elders in the apricot forest again.

At this moment, his face no longer had the lonely look of yesterday, but he just glanced up at those people with an indifferent expression.

And those elders also unconsciously avoided his gaze, their expressions were a little strange, especially Bai Shijing, who was regarded by Qiao Feng as a brother of life and death, lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at him, his face was full of struggle.

"Joe's helper." Chen Guyan, one of the elders of the beggar gang, arched his hand at Qiao Feng with an arrogant face, and said, "The Murong prince of the Murong clan of Gusu has already led his retainers to wait in the forest, Qiao Gang Master, you are late, but it is a little difficult for my beggar gang to do in front of the heroes of the world!" ”

In the face of Chen Guyan's deliberate provocation, Qiao Feng didn't pay attention to it at all, didn't even bother to look at him more, and took a big stride out of the apricot forest by himself.

Qiao Feng's strange reaction that was different from the past instantly made Chen Guyan and the others look at each other, and their expressions changed slightly, wondering if they had guessed something.

After all, in the past, Qiao Feng was still very polite to others, even in the face of ordinary beggar gang disciples, he had never put on any helper stand, let alone these elders.

But today's indifferent and cold posture made people worry, did he already know that everyone was going to deal with him in this apricot forest today?

Chen Guyan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at Quan Guanqing behind him, who shook his head at him, obviously saying that he couldn't see Qiao Feng's reality either.

However, the matter has already come to this, even if Qiao Feng has learned of their plan in advance, they have to bite the bullet and go directly.

In any case, they are going to expose Qiao Feng's Khitan people in front of the martial arts heroes today, and frame the murder of Ma Dayuan on him, so that he is speechless!
