Chapter 104 Rumors boil the rivers and lakes
Beggars Headquarters, Conference Room. Vertices
"Is being on the cusp of the limelight a good thing or a bad thing?"
Feng Tianyu looked at everyone and asked in a deep voice.
"In this case, of course, it's not a good thing, the purpose of the Eastern Qin State to push us out is to borrow the hands of the major gangs in the rivers and lakes to get rid of us in one fell swoop, this is a murder with a knife!"
The old Taoist priest analyzed and replied.
"Good things and bad things also depend on how we react, now the rumors have been boiling, and we have not made any explanations and clarifications, this seems to be a tacit acquiescence to this rumor, do you say that we should clarify this rumor, or continue to be silent?"
Mu Qianmei asked.
"My personal suggestion is that it is better to clarify, and it is always not a good thing to be the target of public criticism."
Elder Zhao suggested.
"yes, why do we have to carry such a black cauldron?"
"The strength of the major factions in the rivers and lakes is not something we can compete with at present, and I also suggest that it be clarified in time."
"I would also suggest that clarification would be better."
……
For a while, the major elders and hall masters all unanimously suggested clarifying this rumor.
After finishing speaking, everyone looked at Feng Tianyu who was sitting on the main seat, after all, he was the leader of the gang, and he had to decide how to go for the beggar gang.
Feng Tianyu looked at the old Taoist priest and asked:
"What do you think, Strategist?"
Ouyang Bo looked at Mu Qianmei, thought for a moment, and then said:
"The clarification is yes, but the choice of when to clarify and under what circumstances is worth further exploration."
After listening to the words of the old Taoist, everyone couldn't help but look at Mu Qianmei, looking forward to her opinion.
Mu Qianmei has always been a unique existence, although she is now Princess Yunyu, but the beggar gang is where she grew up, she is an orphan adopted by the gang leader, and everyone is used to calling her Miss Fluttershy.
It is rumored that the Beggar Gang was founded by her, although she has not admitted it positively, but she has never denied it!
Therefore, her words are still important.
Mu Qianmei saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she didn't speak immediately, and after thinking about it for a while, she said slowly:
"I don't think it's a good time to clarify, although we know that this rumor is coming from the Eastern Qin Kingdom, but what evidence do we have to prove it? How will we clarify this? The rumors stop at the wise, and I believe that many gang leaders will not easily believe this rumor. Since everyone acquiesces to this rumor that it continues to spread in full swing, it means that the rivers and lakes that have been quiet for a long time will usher in a new storm. The rumor released by the Eastern Qin State is just a fuse, and everyone is using this fuse to make the rivers and lakes continue to boil. ”
"Now it is rumored that a martial arts conference will be prepared, and everyone will elect the leader of the alliance together. I think this is the key to the boiling of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Since everyone wants to elect the leader of the alliance by convening a martial arts conference, why don't we let them hold it smoothly, and there will definitely be a seat for the beggars at that time, and then we will make a statement, and say that this rumor is definitely not true. As for how to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance, everyone will discuss it together, and I believe that before this, no one will dare to really challenge our beggar gang. ”
Mu Qianmei's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
"Go to the martial arts conference to clarify this rumor? It's not just right
The Eastern Qin State's plan to kill people with a knife? Will anyone believe our word for clarification at that time? I'm afraid that when the time comes, all gangs and factions will point the finger at us, and we will be in an even greater predicament! ”
Elder Zhao said again, with some worry in his tone.
"We are now clarifying that in fact, it does not have much impact on the overall situation, on the contrary, it has greatly affected our prestige in the rivers and lakes. Let the situation continue to develop, and the clear will clear itself, we only need to spread some of the sources of rumors we know into the rivers and lakes in the same way as rumors, so that the situation is even more confusing, and the identity of the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the Eastern Qin State gradually surfaces. ”
"Since the convening of the martial arts conference is a foregone conclusion, we will wait with peace of mind and just participate on time. Before that, what we need to do is to inquire about the dynamics of each gang, keep abreast of the development of things, and then make full preparations accordingly, as if there is no such rumor, how to choose or how to choose, how to participate or how to participate. ”
"What should be fought for, we will also fight for it, and we will never be affected by any rumors, only in this way will we not fall into the trap of the Eastern Qin State and let them achieve their goals."
Mu Qianmei analyzed again.
This time, no one spoke out again.
Everyone waited in silence for the decision of the helper.
Ouyang Bo said at the right time:
"I think the little girl's analysis is very reasonable, it is indeed not the best time to clarify this rumor at this time, although the current rumors seem to be full of crises, in fact, they are just a spread among ordinary disciples, and in the end, there will definitely be a gang in the East Qin State, with the instigation and support of the Eastern Qin State, will take the lead in contacting the major gangs and holding a martial arts conference, we should go to that conference to deny this rumor."
Feng Tianyu looked at everyone and had no opinions, before he said in a deep voice:
"Okay, let's just don't have this rumor, and we are preparing to participate in the martial arts conference step by step. The behind-the-scenes manipulation identity of the Eastern Qin State has also been introduced to the rivers and lakes in the form of rumors, let everyone distinguish for themselves! ”
He made the final decision with a final word.
As a result, the subsequent rivers and lakes became even more boiling.
All kinds of rumors are flying
It is rumored that the assassination of the beggar gang's various branch hall masters and incense owners is the Eastern Qin State that expelled the beggars from the country.
Someone confirmed that the rumor that the beggar gang dominated the rivers and lakes was the first to say it from a certain person in the Eastern Qin Kingdom, which shows how sinister their intentions were.
There are also rumors that the Eastern family and the Qinling faction of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, with the support of the Eastern Qin royal family, are ready to take the lead in initiating the convening of the martial arts conference and selecting the leader of the martial arts alliance.
In addition, there are new rumors coming out, it is said that the Netherworld Sect hidden in the depths of the Southern Tang Prairie, after years of operation and development, has now officially announced its comeback, and has contacted many small cult gangs, intending to unite to dominate the martial arts.
……
Rumors in the rivers and lakes end in variety.
And in the "Ugu Daily" and "Dongqin Monthly", neither the gang has officially made any statement.
Yes, there are all kinds of speculations and discussions, and everyone is also talking about them, and everyone has different opinions.
It wasn't until the ninth day of the ninth month of September that the Qinling faction of the Eastern Qin State officially issued an invitation, inviting all gangs and factions to gather at the Frostless Mountain in Wushuang City on the first day of October to hold a martial arts conference, so that the decent martial arts could unite and jointly fight against the Netherworld Sect that had returned to the martial arts, as well as those cults and gangs that began to emerge.
The first to respond and express support was the Oriental family of the Eastern Qin Kingdom.
Subsequently, the major gangs also responded and expressed their approval of such a union.
The three ancient martial arts families, the five major gangs, and the beggar gang in the Ugu Continent all issued statements expressing their support for the joint initiative, but they also suggested that the martial arts alliance should be jointly elected by everyone.
On the rivers and lakes, it is still customary to refer to decent martial arts as the five major gangs, although the beggar gang has become the largest gang in the world, but everyone seems to regard it as an alternative and does not include it in the five major gangs of decency.
Of course, it's one thing to admit it or not, if the martial arts conference is missing the beggar gang, it is also an incomplete martial arts conference, so the beggar gang is naturally also among the invitations and becomes a member of the martial arts conference.
When this matter was sent by Qin Ling, the situation of pointing the finger at the beggars in the rivers and lakes had already improved.
In various rumors, the identity of Dong Qin's behind-the-scenes manipulation has gradually surfaced.
The beggars are innocent.
Everyone has such a sense of guilt.
The beggars disdained this, and the ashes of the Blood Killing Building had already demonstrated their strength.
This is the first charlatan gang to dare to confront the first power head-on.
The rivers and lakes began to admire and face up to the strength of the beggar gang.
Faintly, I was looking forward to the beggars being able to perform more prominently at the martial arts conference.
The sudden rise of the Netherworld Sect has become the best reason for the Jianghu Sect to unite with the upright.
Everyone tacitly agreed to such a proposal.
said that it was a martial arts conference, but in fact, it was more about looking at the struggle between the beggars and the Eastern Qin State.
It is no secret that two of the three families and six gangs in the Yugu Continent are controlled by the Eastern Qin Imperial Family.
The beggar gang that can destroy the bloody killing building in one fell swoop, compared with these two big gangs, who is stronger?
This has become the most debated topic on the rivers and lakes today.
Even many gambling houses have secretly taken this as a guide and launched a betting boom.
The majority of those who bet on the final victory of the Eastern Qin State accounted for the majority, and only a very small number of people thought that the beggar gang would win in the end.
This was the biggest gamble ever made in the Ugu Continent.
The Beggar Gang fought against the Qinling faction and the Eastern Family of the Eastern Qin State.
Bet on the beggar gang to win, the odds are 1 to 10;
If either side of the Qinling faction and the Oriental family wins, the odds are one to two;
If both sides do not win, the odds are 1 to 5;
The one who opened this odds was the Supreme Casino, a large gambling house in the Yugu Continent second only to Wanbo Casino.
Once this odds were offered, bettors flocked to it, with 99 percent of them betting on the beggars to lose.
There is almost no suspense in such a gambling game, and even the gambling house is not optimistic that the beggars will win, and ordinary gamblers and many people in the rivers and lakes will certainly not be optimistic.
Only a small number of old fritter gamblers, although they don't know the inside story, but they resolutely do the opposite and bet on the beggars to win.
Because of the momentum, many people who have never gambled felt that this was a rare opportunity, and they all participated in it, and they all bet on the failure of the beggar gang.
For several days in a row, there was a long queue of bettors in front of the doors of all branches of the Supreme Casino, and the number of bettors was increasing day by day.
Many people even go bankrupt and have to gamble on this nine-out of ten.
