Verse 20 Chen near the south, Xiaobao becomes the master of incense

Guan Anji then remembered Zheng Kezang and Wei Xiaobao, clasped his fists and bowed his hands, and said apologetically: "This brother, I'm sorry, what happened just now made my brother laugh." Thanks to my brother for helping in Prince Kang's mansion, I haven't asked my brother for his name. ”

Zheng Kezang cupped his fists in return, and said with a smile: "Under the surname Zheng, the double name Kezang, I have seen the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Association Aoki Hall." Seeing that you can't talk about laughter, all the brothers are temperamental, righteous and trustworthy, and Kezang admires it very much in his heart. ”

"Zheng Kezang? Why is this name so familiar......" Li Lishi chewed on this name silently, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a few steps to Zheng Kezang, and asked urgently: "But the eldest prince in person?" ”

Zheng Kezang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's Kezang." ”

"See the eldest prince!" Li Lishi was overjoyed and bowed down.

"See the eldest prince!" Guan Anji and Xuanzhen Daoren also recognized Zheng Kezang's identity, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"See the eldest prince!" Although the other people in the hall still didn't understand what the situation was, they saw that Li Lishi was the first, and then Anji and Xuanzhen Daoren all respected Zheng Kezang so much, and they all bowed down together.

"Brothers, please get up quickly." Zheng Kezang hurriedly helped up Li Lishi, Guan Anji, Xuanzhen Daoren and other backbones who were close to him, and at the same time raised his hand to help everyone and let everyone get up.

After Guan Anji got up, his face was full of red light, and he said loudly: "Brothers, pay attention, this is the eldest son of the king of Yanping County, which we are loyal to, can be said to be our own person." Today, it is the eldest prince who personally plucked the dog thief's head to worship, and I think it is better for us to serve the eldest prince as the new incense master of our Aoki Hall. ”

Regarding Guan Anji's proposal, Li Lishi also agreed: "Not bad! The eldest prince Wen Taowu is strategic, wise and martial, I believe that with the eldest prince leading us, our Aokitang will definitely be able to do more earth-shattering things! "Just now, these two people were still fighting for the position of the master of Aoki Hall, and no one was convinced, but now that Zheng Kezang is here, they unanimously recommend Zheng Kezang to the throne. The fundamental reason for this is, firstly, that Chen Jinnan praised Zheng Kezang in their ears how wise and strong his martial arts were; In these two ways, Zheng Ke is hiding as the eldest son of the king of Yanping County, and Chen Jinnan has identified the next candidate for the king of Yanping County, if there is his leadership, how glorious it is.

"That's right, the eldest prince is the ...... of incense."

"Support the eldest prince, except for the eldest prince, none of us will accept ......"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were all overjoyed, and they raised their arms and shouted.

Zheng Kezang clenched his fists and threw his hands in all directions, and everyone in the hall immediately fell silent, and said loudly: "Thank you brothers for your love, but Kezang has a lot of affairs, and it is impossible to stay in the capital for a long time, so I have no chance to serve as the master of this Aoki Hall." Besides, today in Prince Kang's mansion, although Kezang has the heart to worship with his hands, it is the little brother next to me who really kills Aobai with his own hands. I see that this little brother is young, and he dares to take risks alone to deal with Aobai, he is really a hero out of a young man. ”

"Thank you, thank you......" When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, follow suit, clasp his fists and bow his hands, and salute the Quartet. It's a pity that everyone in the hall didn't react to this, and their eyes were full of suspicion when they looked at Wei Xiaobao.

One of the Tsing Yi men who attacked Prince Kang's Mansion today hesitated: "But...... He is a little eunuch next to the Emperor Dog of the Qing court, so how can he ......"

"You are the little eunuch, and your whole family is a little eunuch." Wei Xiaobao instantly exploded and scolded.

"You ......" The man in Tsing Yi was not a good-tempered person, he glared at Wei Xiaobao angrily, and wanted to be unkind to him when he took two steps forward. Wei Xiaobao screamed strangely, and hurriedly hid behind Zheng Ke, and the man in Tsing Yi stopped, but he still stared at Wei Xiaobao.

"All right, guys." Zheng Kezang pulled Wei Xiaobao out from behind him with a smile, and said loudly: "I think this little brother should have a last resort, so that he will blend into the palace, otherwise how can my seven-foot good man be a slave to the Tartars of the Qing court." Let's listen to what this little brother has to say first. ”

Wei Xiaobao is very good at climbing high, and on the top of the seven feelings, he made a sad and indignant look, and shouted loudly: "Worship this dog thief, he has done a lot of bad things, and killed countless heroes and heroes of our Han people, and I, Wei Xiaobao, swear to stand with him." I...... I was a good person, but I caught him in the palace and became a eunuch. I can't wait to chop him into a pulp and throw him into the pond to feed the king. I only stabbed him once today, and it's really cheap for him......"

Next, it became Wei Xiaobao's performance time, how he said how wronged he was, how he hated Aobai and the Qing court, and even talked about what Yangzhou Ten Days, Jiading Three Massacres, stunned the group of honest people in Aokitang, but it really opened Zheng Kezang's eyes. In the end, Wei Xiaobao moved out of Mao Eighteen, and it happened that this Mao Eighteen was recuperating here, and after the two met, they hugged and cried for a while, revealing their true feelings, so that everyone in Aoki Hall no longer had any doubts. Mao Shiba's injuries were still very serious, and after recognizing Wei Xiaobao, he was carried down again to rest and recuperate.

However, if Wei Xiaobao is made the new incense master of Aoki Hall like this, everyone is extremely unwilling, no matter how you say it, Wei Xiaobao is a little gangster who does not know martial arts and has a flamboyant tongue, how can he be qualified to serve as the incense master of Aoki Hall. However, the oath could not be fulfilled, and Zheng Kezang also seemed to be very optimistic about Wei Xiaobao, so everyone couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

At this moment, a man rushed into the hall and shouted, "The chief helmsman has arrived!" "What?" Guan Anji and Li Lishi looked at the person who rushed in. The man hurriedly said: "The chief helmsman is here, and he has already arrived at the gate with the other nine hall masters. The two were overjoyed and said in unison: "Quick, let's go and meet the chief helmsman." ”

"Brother Guan, Brother Zhang, you're welcome, we're already here." With a hearty laugh, Chen Jinnan, dressed as a scribe, the incense masters of the other nine halls of the Heaven and Earth Society, and more than a dozen men in strong clothes walked into the hall.

"Meet the helmsman!" Everyone in the hall bowed down and bowed, even Wei Xiaobao, a gangster who was not four or six.

Chen Jinnan leaned out and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be polite, please get up quickly." After everyone got up, they walked towards Zheng Kezang again, patting this shoulder on the way, patting that shoulder, patting that shoulder, there was no shelf, and even close to the people.

"The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law." When Chen Jinnan came to the front, Zheng Kezang hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted.

Chen Jinnan helped Zheng Kezang up and sighed: "The matter at home, Yan'er has written to me, during this time, the eldest prince will be in the Central Plains first and help me deal with the affairs of the Heaven and Earth Association for a while." Then, after introducing Zheng Kezang to the other five hall masters who came with him, he said: "The so-called name is not right, then the word is not good." Before coming here, I have consulted with my brothers from the other halls, and decided to appoint you as the deputy helmsman of our Heaven and Earth Society. In just a few words, Zheng Kezang's position as deputy chief helmsman was established. Speaking of which, in the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Jinnan's prestige can be described as unique, to put it mildly, even if Zheng Jing comes, it may not be effective for Chen Jinnan to speak.

Zheng Kezang was not surprised, he had long expected that Chen Jinnan would have this arrangement, and immediately smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for your trust, my son-in-law will definitely go all out to lead my heaven and earth to a higher level, and will not let my father-in-law down." ”

"Meet the Deputy Helmsman!" Everyone in the hall paid homage to Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang hurriedly smiled: "Brothers don't have to be polite, please take care of them in the future." ”

Chen Jinnan paid attention to Wei Xiaobao's body again and asked, "Who is this little brother?" ”

Zheng Kezang smiled meaningfully: "This little brother is amazing, he dared to take risks alone at a young age, and killed Ao Bai with his own hands, but he is really daring." ”

Wei Xiaobao has always been very thick-skinned, if someone usually praises him like this, he will immediately boast about himself, but in front of Chen Jinnan, who is like lightning and not angry, he can't speak.

"Oh? Not bad! Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! Chen Jinnan glanced at Zheng Kezang in surprise, and immediately understood, and after praising Wei Xiaobao with a smile, he instructed Master Guan: "It's getting late today, let's discuss anything tomorrow, take care of this little brother, and let the brothers go to rest." In addition, find another room, and I still have important matters to discuss with the eldest prince. ”

In a spacious house in the backyard of the manor, the lights were dim, and Zheng Kezang and Chen Jinnan talked at night. Zheng Kezang told Chen Jinnan about the current situation of the Penghu Islands, why he left Penghu, why he had to leave Chen Yan'er alone in Penghu, and what happened after he arrived in the capital. Although Chen Yan'er already has a letter, the details of it are obviously impossible to explain clearly in the letter.

"Hey......" Chen Jinnan sighed lightly, but it was not good to express any opinion on that Mrs. Dong, but he just told Zheng Kezang to be more careful, and that he had time to go back to Taiwan to see his baby daughter.

"By the way, Kezang, what's the situation with this Wei Xiaobao?" Chen Jinnan knows that Zheng Kezang will not innocently praise Wei Xiaobao in public, and there must be a deep meaning in it.

Zheng Kezang said with a smile: "Speaking of this Wei Xiaobao, he is an extremely interesting person, although he is just a gangster from the market, and he is not skilled in martial arts, but his luck is very good, and he can always turn evil into ......good fortune when he encounters trouble," he said, telling Chen Jinnan what he knew, some interesting things about Wei Xiaobao.

Chen Jinnan listened to it and nodded in approval: "Eldest son, listening to you say this, this Wei Xiaobao is indeed lucky." Moreover, although he is sleek and sophisticated, and there are many small problems on his body, he is unambiguous in the big joints, and he is a talent worth cultivating. ”

Zheng Kezang said with a smile: "Yes, my son-in-law also thinks that this Wei Xiaobao is a talent, and it is the talent that our world will lack the most at the moment." Nowadays, most of our Tiandi Club are some upright men, and they lack special talents like Wei Xiaobao, who have their own bottom line and are righteous enough, but they are very cunning. ”

Chen Jinnan smiled dumbly and asked, "Eldest prince, are you planning to recruit Wei Xiaobao into the meeting and reuse it?" ”

"Not bad!" Zheng Kezang nodded, and said: "After a few days of understanding, the son-in-law found that because the position of the incense master of Aoki Hall has been vacant all the year round, two forces led by Guan Anji and Li Lishi have gradually formed, and for the position of the incense master, the contradiction between the two parties has become more and more intensified. If this problem is not solved, it will not be long before it will happen even greater. Therefore, the son-in-law intends to find an outsider who does not belong to these two forces to serve as the incense master, gradually alleviating or even resolving the contradictions between the two parties. ”

Chen Jinnan frowned slightly, and said, "Eldest prince, you are roasting Wei Xiaobao on the fire." However, the position of the incense lord is not trivial, Aoki Hall is located in the capital, and the situation is more complicated and dangerous than other halls, does Wei Xiaobao have this ability? ”

Zheng Kezang was already confident, and said with a smile: "The son-in-law is really optimistic about Wei Xiaobao, maybe he can really resolve the contradiction between the two parties?" As for his ability, his father-in-law doesn't have to worry too much, his ability can be cultivated slowly. Besides, the son-in-law will stay in the capital for a long time in the future, and Aokitang will not have any mess if the son-in-law takes care of it. ”

"Hmm." Regarding Zheng Kezang's ability, Chen Jinnan put a hundred and twenty hearts into it, and asked: "Eldest prince, what can you do to make Wei Xiaobao able to convince the public and let Aokitang?" ”

Zheng Kezang replied with a smile: "This matter is simpler, just to wronged my father-in-law and accept this little gangster as an apprentice." In this way, how could the brothers of Aokitang disobey Wei Xiaobao. ”

"You......" Chen Jinnan looked at Wei Xiaobao with a smile, hesitated slightly, and then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll accept this apprentice." I've just heard you say so much about him, I'm really interested in him, and tomorrow morning, you can bring him to me. ”

Early the next morning, Zheng Kezang took Wei Xiaobao to meet Chen Jinnan. During the whole meeting process, Wei Xiaobao was unusual, without the slightest flamboyance, and answered some of Chen Jinnan's homely questions truthfully, although he was slightly restrained, but it was also a different true temperament, which made Chen Jinnan very satisfied, and initially recognized Wei Xiaobao from the bottom of his heart. Finally, under the auspices of Zheng Kezang and witnessed by the Aoki cousins of the Heaven and Earth Society, Wei Xiaobao officially worshipped Chen Jinnan as his teacher. At this point, there is no obstacle for Wei Xiaobao to become the incense master of Aoki Hall, even if the backbone members of Aoki Hall such as Guan Anji, Li Lishi and Xuan Zhen Daoren still have some doubts about Wei Xiaobao and are a little unconvinced, but for the sake of Chen Jinnan and Zheng Kezang, they didn't say anything more.

Subsequently, in order to enable Wei Xiaobao to return to the Qing court justifiably, Zheng Kezang took the people of Aokitang and arranged a big scene: the Aobai party camp attacked Prince Kang's mansion and wanted to save Aobai, Wei Xiaobao swore to stop it, and successfully killed Aobai on the spot, although Wei Xiaobao was captured by Aobai's henchmen, he escaped wittily, and reported to the Qing court, and led the troops to eliminate the stronghold of Aobai's henchmen in one fell swoop. With such a powerful drama, Wei Xiaobao was not only not suspected by Kangxi, but was even more praised.
