Chapter 43: Cameo as the leader of the beggar gang
Qiao Feng was in the prime of life at this time, his prestige was strong, and everyone respected him, but he did not set an heir, and no one in the beggar gang had this ability, and he thought that he could lead the beggar gang, Qiao Feng asked three times, but no one answered. Elder Song said, "Helper, now that the matter is clear, all this is a conspiracy of Mrs. Ma, why do you need to abdicate?" ”
The gang members also said in unison, "Yes, helper, don't be discouraged." We've got your back! ”
"Thank you brothers for your love, since my teacher left a suicide note, there must be a reason, Qiao must find out the truth. Regardless of whether Qiao is a Han or a Khitan, he will never harm his brothers. Seeing that Qiao Feng insisted on abdicating, Elder Song said, "This matter was framed by Mrs. Ma, which shows that Qiao Gang Leader is innocent." I think there is no one in the beggar gang who can be more heroic than the leader of the Qiao gang, and others want to be the leader of the gang, and my surname is not convinced. ”
Elder Xi also said loudly, "Those who are willing to follow Gang Master Qiao come to my side." After speaking, he pulled Elder Song and Elder Wu and walked to the east head. The three helmsmen who followed the Daren rudder, the Dayi rudder, and the Daxin rudder also walked to the east, and their subordinates naturally followed. Elder Chen, Elder Chuangong, Great Wisdom, and Great Courage were the helmsmen of the rudder, but they did not move. Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing are still tied up and have no right to speak. As a result, the beggar gang was suddenly divided into two factions, about fifty percent of the people who supported Qiao Feng in the east, about thirty percent of those who stayed in place, and the rest of the gang were suspicious and didn't know who to listen to.
Qiao Feng saw that everyone was divided again, and said loudly, "Brothers, the great enemy of Yipintang is now, and you must not mess with yourself. I have a proposal, this Lin Shaoxia is a good man recognized by my Qiao Feng's friendship, he has an innocent background, and his character Qiao can guarantee it, it is better for him to temporarily serve as the helper, and wait for everyone to find a suitable candidate, and then pass on the position. ”
"I'm for it! Lin Shaoxia's martial arts are strong, and he is deeply trusted by Qiao's gang leader, and I believe that Lin Shaoxia will never be unfavorable to my beggar gang. Quan Guanqing knew that if Qiao Feng was still in charge of the beggar gang, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat, support Lin Yiyan, have a dragon skill, and then make suggestions, Quan Guanqing feels that there is a lot to be done.
Quan Guanqing's statement, Dazhi rudder, Dayong rudder are all in unison. Elder Chen and Elder Chuangong neither agreed nor opposed. Although Elder Xu didn't like Lin Yiyan, there was some truth in what Quan Guanqing said, and he was eager to force Qiao Feng to abdicate, so he also supported Lin Yiyan.
Qiao Feng said to the elders and helmsmen who supported him, "Brothers, Brother Lin is my friend, you follow him, and Qiao can rest assured." Qiao was anxious about his life experience, and he really had no intention of continuing to lead the beggar gang. It just so happened that Elder Xu and a few others also agreed, my beggar gang is the enemy, and there should be no civil strife, and I also ask you brothers to help Lin Shaoxia for the sake of the foundation of the beggar gang. ”
When Qiao Feng said this, Elder Song and his party reluctantly agreed. At this point, a group of people who don't know who to support see the general trend and do not oppose it. As a result, everyone present agreed that Lin Yiyan would take over. Elder Xu stepped forward and said, "Lin Shaoxia, what do you think?" ”
"Looking at Brother Qiao's face, I can agree. However, I don't like people to disobey the yin, the enemy of Yipintang is current, if someone disobeys the order, it is not interesting for this gang leader to be the leader, don't blame me for ignoring your life or death. Lin Yiyan said solemnly, "Also, I'm a relatively loose person, and I may not be able to be the leader of this gang for long, so I suddenly quit when the time comes, don't blame me!" ”
Hearing Lin Yiyan say this, Elder Xu spoke, "As long as Lin Shaoxia's chivalry comes first, I will help everyone to serve the natural people!" ”
"That's great!" Seeing Lin Yiyan nodding, Qiao Feng handed over the dog stick to Lin Yiyan, and asked everyone to form a circle and teach Lin Yiyan the dog stick method. I wasn't interested in this trick, I just let Jarvis record it. After Lin Yiyan nodded and said that he had learned, the handover ceremony of the gang leader was officially completed, and everyone collectively paid homage to the new gang leader Lin Yiyan, and Qiao Feng said goodbye and left. The beggars helped, Tan Gong, Tan Po, Zhao Qiansun, Shan Zheng's family, Master Zhiguang, all congratulated Lin Yiyan on his succession, and also left.
Bao Wei said loudly: "Gang Master Lin, since the death of the deputy gang leader of your gang has nothing to do with my Gusu Murong clan, then the Luoyang covenant has no meaning, I will say goodbye!" ”
"Please!"
Bao Wei was about to leave, and suddenly heard a person in the northwest corner say, "The beggar gang made an appointment to meet in Huishan, and the contract will not be broken." It turns out that they are all sneakily hiding here, hey, hey, hey, ridiculous! The helmsman Jiang of the righteous division and the helmsman of the Dayong division said in unison, "Helper, we missed the appointment, and the other party is coming to the door!" ”
"This person is yin and yang, and the person who comes is not good, everyone should be careful. Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing, the enemy is current, I allow the two of you to make meritorious contributions with crimes, if you are stealing and cheating, I will shoot you two to death first. Come on, untie them. Now that Madame Ma is dead, drag her back to the woods, and then choose a place to bury her after dealing with the enemy! ”
The law enforcement disciple received the order and stepped forward to cut the cowhide band. Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing arched their hands and said, "Thank you for the extrajudicial kindness of the helper!" ”
"I just took over the throne, and there is a great enemy in front of me, so I will allow you two to make meritorious contributions, and there will be no next time. The rules of this gang are clearly not worth it, and all brothers need to keep it in mind. Lin Yiyan waved his hand.
The crowd shouted in unison: "Follow the bishop's teachings!" At this time, the voice of the shadow sounded again, "Very good, you are the leader of the beggar gang?" If you're on a date, why don't you come? Could it be that he has no credit? ”
Jiang Duo said, "Nonsense! My gang has already sent someone to tell you to wait, and it will be seven days later! ”
The man said, "Since the date has already been set, why postpone it for seven days?" It didn't work out for half an hour. After speaking, he threw out a person, and everyone looked at it, but it was the deputy helmsman Xie who was the rudder of the gang, but his face was blurred with flesh and blood, his throat had been cut, and he had been out of breath for a long time.
Master Jiang was shocked and angry, and said, "Helper, Brother Xie was sent by me to reschedule." ”
"Barbarians, they don't even understand the rules of not beheading! Even if he came, he didn't dare to show up, and those who hid their heads and tails dared to speak out! After listening to Lin Yiyan's words, this person is still unpredictable, "This person is arrogant and rude, how can he be allowed to live when he sees that my general refuses to bow down?" As for hiding your head and showing your tail, I think you are hiding in the forest and dare not come out. ”
When the beggars heard this, they were furious, and many people scolded angrily. When the man had finished speaking, the distant trumpets whined, followed by the faint sound of a large herd of horses' hooves heard from miles away. Bai Shijing stepped forward and said to Lin Yiyan and Elder Xu, "I heard that the leader is the general of the Western Xia Zhengdong called Helian Tieshu, and he is called an envoy, but in fact, it is not good for the gang. ”
"I heard that there is a poison in Western Xia, which is colorless and tasteless, everyone covers their mouths and noses with their sleeves dipped in water, and be careful to prevent it!" Lin Yiyan, who had known the plot for a long time, immediately reminded.
When everyone heard this, they each tore off a sleeve of their clothes and covered their mouths and noses according to Lin Yiyan's instructions. But seeing that Lin Yi didn't move, everyone said strangely, "Helper, don't you use it?" ”
Lin Yiyan smiled indifferently, "It's okay, poison is useless to me." Everyone will be skeptical, how can anyone not be afraid of poison, but Lin Yiyan is so confident, everyone only thinks that Lin Yiyan is strong in martial arts, maybe the internal strength is so deep that he is not afraid of poison, and everyone has seen the power of the finger just now.
While Lin Yiyan and the beggars were talking, the sound of horses' hooves was already near, the horn sounded three more times, and the eight horses divided into two rows and rushed into the forest. The occupants of the eight horses each held a spear, and a small flag was tied to the spear, with "Western Xia" written on the left and "Helian" written on the right, and some Western Xia characters. Then eight horses marched into the forest in two marches, four of them sounding trumpets and four beating drums.
In everyone's eyes, this situation is clearly a method of marching and fighting, and it is not the style of meeting people in the rivers and lakes at all.
After the trumpeter drummer, there were four Western Xia warriors. It turned out that three of the four villains were killed by Lin Yiyan, and Yue Laosan went back to the South China Sea, but it was not recruited by Xixia. The four warriors stood still on either side, and slowly walked into the forest on horseback. Immediately, the passenger was wearing a red brocade robe, thirty-four or five years old, with a hooked nose and a beard. He was followed by a man with an extremely tall body and a huge nose, and as soon as he entered the forest, he shouted, "The general of the Western Xia Kingdom has arrived, and the leader of the beggar gang has come forward to pay respects." ”
The voice was yin and yang, and it was the same person who spoke earlier. Seeing this, Lin Yiyan sneered, "It's up to you, and you deserve me to meet you, you can't help but think too highly of yourself." You didn't come to greet the gang leader when you met him, he was really a barbarian, and he didn't know how to pay respects. ”
The big nose said with a face full of disbelief, "You are the leader of the beggar gang, why are you so young, it can't be fake, right?" ”
In this regard, Lin Yiyan said coldly, "Who killed the person I helped to report the news, come out and give an explanation yourself, otherwise you will all die here today!" ”
"I ordered someone to kill, my Helian family is famous, kill a pariah, what do you want to explain. But you, if you don't break the contract, you should give General Ben an explanation. Helian Tieshu's words made Lin Yiyan laugh, only to hear Lin Yiyan say lightly, "Do you think that this is the Western Xia Kingdom, put on the majesty of your Helian family, and go back to your Western Xia!" ”
Helian Tieshu said angrily, "Nurhai, you go and teach them a lesson!" ”
The big nose that spoke yin and yang was weird and immediately came out of the ranks, and threw a whip at Lin Yiyan, Lin Yiyan sneered, "I don't know if I live or die!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Yiyan stretched out his hand and pointed slightly, only to see a beam of light invisible to the naked eye hitting the horsewhip, and the horsewhip was broken inch by inch by Lin Yiyan's finger. And this beam of light did not weaken, castration unabated, fast and urgent, and it was about to hit Nurhai's arm.
At this time, the first Western Xia warrior on the left suddenly slapped a palm, and the beam sent by Lin Yiyan was actually carried by the palm wind of the Western Xia warrior, and most of it was scattered or deflected, but a small part still hit Nurhai's arm, Nurhai exclaimed, only to see a faint hole appear on the clothes of the arm, if it wasn't for the Xixia warrior to save him, the arm would definitely be pierced.
