Chapter 23: The Election of the Leader Conference

On the way back to the cave, Peng Dong and Zhao Hengzhi chatted enthusiastically.

"By the way, in three days, it will be our hornet gang's triennial gang leader election conference! When the time comes, you'll have to participate too! Peng Dong patted Zhao Hengzhi on the shoulder, very optimistic about Zhao Hengzhi.

"Huh? I'm a newcomer, how can I run for office? Zhao Hengzhi touched his head in shame, he was very self-aware, he couldn't even fight a dominatrix like Yao Yuran, let alone lead a group of beggars to fight with other gangs......

"Don't say that, our Hornet Gang has always been competent, regardless of seniority!" Peng Dong showed a mouthful of big white teeth and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, you are resourceful, chivalrous, and courageous, and saved the life of our gang leader, you are not qualified to run, so who else is qualified?" ”

Zhao Hengzhi heard that Peng Dong spoke so highly of him, and he regained his self-confidence, and he focused on participating in this meeting to elect the gang leader, and he didn't expect to get anything at all.

Three days later, the Hornet's meeting to elect a leader was held in a clearing in the grove. Zhao Hengzhi heard from other beggars that the meeting to elect a gang leader was mainly divided into three rounds of competition.

The first round is a game of luck. The beggar can survive, mainly by God to reward the food, who can get a bowl of rice in this incense, it proves that his luck is the best, and the ability to beg for food is also the most powerful, he is eligible to participate in the next round of the competition.

Boss Chu held a mallet in his hand, struck the gong, and shouted: "Begin!" ”

Just because Boss Chu was the champion of the last round of the gang leader conference, he no longer participated in this competition.

As soon as the gong sounded, everyone rushed out like arrows off the string. Zhao Hengzhi was holding a broken bowl, he didn't have any hope, but he had just walked a few steps when he saw an old woman passing by with a bamboo basket. Zhao Hengzhi had an idea and lay down on the road.

When the old woman saw Zhao Hengzhi, she was moved by compassion, and hurriedly lifted the veil covering the bamboo basket, she scooped a spoonful of rice and put it in Zhao Hengzhi's bowl.

Zhao Hengzhi begged for food and immediately rushed back to the original point. Boss Chu laughed from ear to ear and rang the gong.

In the corner of the woods, Yao Yuran took off the human skin mask, revealing a delicate face.

It turned out that this old woman was dressed up by Yao Yuran in disguise, and since she threw Zhao Hengzhi in this Qingye City, she has always been apologic, she thought, it is better to help him like this.

Seeing that Zhao Hengzhi had completed the task so quickly, the other beggars gave him a thumbs up. Zhao Hengzhi faintly felt incredible in his heart, the timing of the old woman's appearance was too coincidental, Zhao Hengzhi looked around, wanting to see if the old woman was still there, but who expected, he couldn't see the trace of that person.

"Xiao Zhao, it's really amazing!" Peng Dong cast an appreciative look at him.

"yes, that's too short, I haven't even set foot on the street!" The beggar Zhang Ping said with a smile.

Only Zhao Hengzhi knew that if he hadn't met that old woman halfway, it would have been impossible to complete the task so quickly. Zhao Hengzhi didn't know if he had an illusion, but he felt that the old woman had a familiar feeling, and it was probably someone he knew.

Who is it? There was no answer in Zhao Heng's heart.

In the second round of the competition, it is a faster test of the eye, and whoever can pick the copper coin out of the stone in the time of half a pillar of incense will be qualified for the next round of the competition.

In the first round of the competition, many people have already been eliminated, and Zhao Hengzhi himself has the mentality of focusing on participation, so he didn't think much about it.

"Let's go!" Boss Chu rang the gong again.

Zhao Hengzhi used to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but now, just let him pick the copper coin, it will not be difficult for him, he is quick to pick out the copper coin.

"Awesome!" Boss Chu couldn't hide his admiration for him, not long after this pillar of incense was lit, Zhao Hengzhi had already successfully picked out all the copper coins and lined them up.

When the others saw Zhao Hengzhi so fast, they were instantly deflated, and in this game, in addition to Zhao Hengzhi, only another beggar, Li Feiyang, also successfully completed the task.

In this way, in the third round of the competition, let Feiyang and Xiao Zhao compare. It's like eating steamed buns! In the half-pillar incense time, whoever eats more steamed buns will win! Boss Chu announced the rules for the third round.

When the beggars brought up the steamed buns in a large steamer, Zhao Hengzhi was instantly stunned. Although he is indeed very good at eating, he can't help but be frightened when Zhao Hengzhi eats so many steamed buns at once.

"Xiao Zhao, can you do it?" Peng Dong couldn't help but worry about Zhao Hengzhi, because Zhao Hengzhi looked skinny and weak, and he didn't know if he could finish eating these steamed buns smoothly. In contrast, Li Feiyang is much stronger. People who look strong also seem to eat more than ordinary people.

Zhao Hengzhi didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he could successfully complete the task.

"Let's go!" Boss Chu rang the gong. Everyone was focused on watching the two of them play.

Zhao Hengzhi picked up a steamed bun and did his best to eat the steamed bun, and seemed to take a leisurely sip of water, while Li Feiyang was different, he ate so urgently that he didn't even have time to drink water, so he picked up another steamed bun and swallowed it wolfing.

Zhao Hengzhi raised his head suddenly, and saw Li Feiyang beside him eating so hard, and muttered in his heart, this Li Feiyang is so desperate, isn't he afraid of being choked to death by steamed buns?

Sure enough, when Li Feiyang ate the fourth, his face turned red, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly burst out like earthworms.

"Water—ahem!" Li Feiyang almost choked to death with steamed buns, but fortunately, he was rescued in time to save Li Feiyang's life.

The other beggars hurriedly carried water for him and brought it to his mouth.

Zhao Hengzhi took the opportunity to eat another steamed bun, which happened to be about the same as the number of steamed buns eaten by Li Feiyang.

"Boom!" The gong struck again, and the game was over. Zhao Hengzhi found that he could no longer eat steamed bread in this life, and the fear of being dominated by steamed bread made him have a deep shadow on steamed bread.

Zhao Hengzhi found that Li Feiyang was no better than him, Li Feiyang foamed at the mouth, lay on the table, and reached the peak of steamed buns.

"Congratulations to Xiao Zhao for winning the position of helper!" Boss Chu announced the results of the game. The audience was in an uproar, but they felt that Zhao Hengzhi deserved it.

"Boss Chu, you can't call people Xiao Zhao in the future, he is now the leader of the Zhao gang." Peng Dong gave Boss Chu a wake-up call.

Boss Chu touched the back of his head and said, "Yes, he is now the Zhao Gang Leader!" ”

After that, Boss Chu took out the treasure dog beating stick handed down by the previous gang leaders of the Hornet Gang, and solemnly handed it over to Zhao Hengzhi.

"Gang Leader Zhao! You'll have to take us with you in the future! Li Feiyang said with a smile, he was also very optimistic about Zhao Hengzhi.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Zhao Hengzhi smiled and nodded hurriedly. Zhao Heng thought that if he could leave here one day, he would take the beggars of the Hornet Gang to the capital.

In the evening, beggars of all sizes gathered around the fire, beating bowls and drums to celebrate. Boss Chu took out a jar of wine, which was the peach blossom brew he had treasured for a long time.

"Gang Master Zhao, give!" Boss Chu smiled, poured a jar of wine into the bowl, stretched out his big hand, and handed the wine to Zhao Hengzhi.

Zhao Hengzhi hadn't touched wine for a long time, just smelling the refreshing aroma of wine, he couldn't bear it anymore, he picked up the wine and took a few big sips.

Within five days, Zhao Hengzhi put his ideas into action, he led a number of beggars from the Hornet Gang on the road, and Boss Chu took the initiative to give up the opportunity to enter the capital because of his advanced age.

Aoba City is quite close to the capital, and Yao Yuran used a carriage to transport him to Aoba City. Zhao Hengzhi and the beggars walked for two days and one night before entering the gate of the capital.

But as soon as he entered the city gate, it was dark. Zhao Hengzhi had no choice but to take the beggars to settle in a dilapidated temple.

"Helper, you really have enough vision, as soon as you become a helper, you will bring us to the capital." The beggar Ma Qing said with a smile. Several of them were busy using straw to make a bed for Zhao Hengzhi.

Zhao Hengzhi lay down comfortably, but unfortunately this straw was far less comfortable than the big bed in the Hou Ye's house. Zhao Hengzhi missed everything in the Hou Ye's mansion very much.

As the night gets deeper and the temple snores, it's a good time to quiet down in the dead of night. Yao Yuran sent a few black-clothed people to the broken temple, put Zhao Hengzhi in a sack, and robbed him.

The Yunmo Courtyard of the Hou Ye's Mansion.

"It stinks!" Yao Yuran covered his nose, Zhao Heng's body smelled of sweat, he walked from Qingye City to the capital, sleeping in the open air, and smelling all over. The beggar's clothes had been torn through several big holes, and Yao Yuran was so disgusted.

By the faint light of the candle, Yao Yuran peeled off Zhao Hengzhi's beggar clothes.

"Hey, what is this?" Yao Yuran was surprised. As soon as she lowered her eyes, she found that on Zhao Hengzhi's originally smooth and fair-skinned beautiful back, there were small red bumps.

According to the analysis of Yao Yuran's modern medical knowledge, it should be a small red bump caused by allergies, and as for the source of the allergy, it is very likely that it is the beggar suit worn by Zhao Hengzhi.

But for so many days, Zhao Hengzhi has been wearing this beggar suit......

The guilt in Yao Yuran's heart welled up again, and she remembered that she had heard someone say before that using tea to wash allergic skin is very effective and can relieve temporary pain and itching.

"A dead horse is a live horse doctor!" Yao Yuran poured the tea on the embroidered handkerchief and helped Zhao Hengzhi wipe it gently.

Zhao Hengzhi felt a chill in his back, he suddenly woke up, and saw that the beautiful and delicious person in front of him was Yao Yuran!

"Dominatrix, ...... woman," Zhao Hengzhi muttered, but he was too tired and powerless to push Yao Yuran away. had no choice but to let Yao Yuran wipe the unknown liquid on him.

After a while, Zhao Hengzhi slowly fell asleep.

When Zhao Hengzhi woke up, he found himself in the room of the Yunmo Courtyard in the Hou Ye's Mansion.

"Ahhhhh When Zhao Hengzhi saw Yao Yuran, his heart beat faster for a while, and his pupils dilated, as if he saw a female ghost with a cloak.
