Taecheon Town.

Today ushered in a large number of high-rollers, including the Iron Sword Sect, the Eight Immortal Sword Sect, the Changle Gang and other sects, and the heavyweight representatives in the north include the Quanzhen Sect.

Their arrival brought a hint of slaughter to this peaceful town, and this time they all came for the same purpose, that is, to participate in the trial meeting invited by the beggars.

Looking at a group of sect disciples with swords in their hands and grim expressions entering the street, the people in the town couldn't help but stay a little away from the center, and the less daring ones didn't dare to look at these people in the rivers and lakes, for fear of inadvertently angering each other.

In principle, the disciples of this gang of sects are even more terrible than the people in the official yamen, and the people in the yamen are nothing more than greedy for small gains, extortion, and preying on the people, but this group of unruly people in the rivers and lakes are about to draw their swords and kill people at every turn.

This is why the Ming Dynasty wanted to ban martial arts in later generations, these idle people on the rivers and lakes have incomparable strength for ordinary people, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

It is also a headache for the imperial court.

"Master, do you think this villain will be that person? It took the old man Hong to get off the field to successfully capture? ”

In the private room on the second floor of the Intoxicating Heart Building, Cui Zhi, a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, said slightly to the middle-aged man above the main seat.

But seeing that this middle-aged Taoist has a beard on his white face, long eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a graceful appearance, although he is old, he is still a handsome man, this person is Yin Zhiping, the new head of the Quanzhen Sect.

He is a year older than Yang Kang, naturally, he is also a little older than Guo Jing, but he is well maintained, and he doesn't look old.

The Quanzhen Sect is also in good order under his leadership at the moment, and this person still has some uniqueness in handling internal affairs, otherwise it is impossible to win the favor of the seven sons of Quanzhen, and there is a certain reason for liking it, but in the original book, he was killed by Xiaolongnu before he took over as the head of the teaching.

Hearing the words at this time, a trace of discomfort flashed on Yin Zhiping's face, although Cui Zhifang did not say who that person was, but it was not difficult for Yin Zhiping to guess that he was talking about Dongzhang, because it was rumored that the murderer who killed the law enforcement elder of the beggar gang that day was the demon lord Dongzhang.

Recalling the unbearable scenes of being bullied by that person, the muscles on Yin Zhiping's face shook unconsciously, and he said with his teeth tensed: "The Huang gang leader's letter did not say who the murderer was, and I can't judge it, everything is still settled in the beggar gang, so don't speculate." ”

Cui Zhifang is one of the third-generation masters of Quanzhen, although his martial arts are not as good as Zhao Zhijing, but compared to Yin Zhiping, he is not much better.

It is not worse than the Wudang Seven Heroes of later generations, because they have reached the level of both internal and external cultivation, and when the Golden Wheel Dharma King just started the trial, he knew that Zhao Yin and the two were not weak in internal strength, and they needed to win twenty or thirty moves.

Since then, it can be seen that the Quanzhen Sect, as the first Xuanmen authentic sect of martial arts, still has some merits in its martial arts, but helplessly, in this era of 'immortals' fighting, their abilities are not outstanding, and they can only be reduced to the second-rate last position.

Led by Yin Zhiping, Li Zhichang, Fang Zhiqi, Cui Zhifang, Zhang Zhiguang, Wang Zhitan, Chen Zhiyi, Qi Zhicheng, Shen Zhifan and other three generations of disciples are all listed.

It can be regarded as giving enough face to the beggar gang, and in addition to their Quanzhen Sect, there are many other gangs, and at this moment, the small drunken heart building is full, and it is very lively.

After saying this, a middle-aged and noble man came to the Quanzhen Sect Yajian with a cup and laughed: "It turned out that Yin Zhangjiao was coming, and Dai was disappointed, so he should punish himself with three cups." ”

The man didn't wait for Yin Zhiping to speak, and drank three glasses heroically, and the latter immediately got up to greet him when he saw this: "Master Dai is polite, please take a seat." ”

Although it is a little uncomfortable, this is a situation that must be dealt with, Yin Zhiping is the head of a sect, and there are so many unnecessary entertainments, and now it is beginning to become a little sleek.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then the disciple of the spirit set out a position and stayed next to Yin Zhiping, Dai Chenggui was the head of the Eight Immortal Sword Sect, so he naturally sat on Yin Zhiping's right hand.

For this young head of the Quanzhen Sect, in fact, Dai Cheng is a little scornful, not young but low and mediocre in ability, looking at a literary crepe appearance, he will not come to trouble, the two actually have nothing in common.

As soon as he took his seat, Dai Cheng took the lead in introducing the topic, and said happily: "Yin Zhangjiao, do you know who the beggar gang is going to judge this time?" ”

He knew that the Quanzhen Sect had always been friendly with Huang Rong and his wife, because he was sure that the other party should know some inside information, and he was also a little dissatisfied with the beggar gang in his words, feeling that the other party was partial to the Quanzhen Sect.

As soon as the words came out, Yin Zhiping shook his head: "Don't hide it from the boss, I don't know, this person's identity and the beggars didn't reveal a ......."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Zhiping's face suddenly flashed with an incredible look, three points of panic, three points of fear, and infinite fear......

The expression on his face was very exciting, it was hard to imagine that a person's face could bring out so many emotions, which made Cui Zhifang, who had been paying attention to him, a little stunned, and then followed Yin Zhiping's gaze to look out the window.

At a glance, I saw a man in black strolling down the street, with children laughing and chasing on the side, there was nothing strange about this, I looked around a few times, and found that most of them were just foot traders, and then Cui Zhifang turned his gaze back to the man, only to feel that this person had an indescribable temperament.

I saw that the man's face was always playing with the children with a smile, and then he took out some snacks casually, and under the coaxing of the children, the man shook his head and stepped into the drunken building.

Isn't this picture normal, how can you take charge of the church and see a ghost? Cui Zhifang couldn't figure it out.

Dai Cheng on the side didn't notice Yin Zhiping's expression, and still said to himself: "Oh? The beggars even hide it from you? In terms of your friendship, this shouldn't be....."

But he didn't realize that Yin Zhiping couldn't listen to half of his words at all, and he looked shocked.

Downstairs.

The drunken building ushered in a lonely and arrogant figure, but when he saw a man in black who was hanging a child, he stepped into the door and leaned on the cabinet with one hand, reached out and knocked on the tabletop, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, business is very good." ”

"Where is the guest officer, the small business, it is also the recent beggar gang such a big event that has become lively, by the way, guest officer, do you want to sharpen the point?"

The shopkeeper is very good at things, and in a few words, he transferred the good business to other directions, and he is also afraid that men are careful about starting a restaurant business.

Smiled indifferently, the man looked around at the full table of diners, and said happily: "Even if I want to eat, I don't have a place to entertain you, do I?" Don't embarrass you, come to a jar of high-quality wine, pack it and take it away. ”

"Okay, sir, the small one will be arranged, you wait a minute."

The shopkeeper was relieved to hear this, and went to the back kitchen with light steps.

The man put his bored hands on the counter and stared lazily at the lively diners.

Soon, the shopkeeper came quickly with a five-pound wine jug in his hand, and offered it with both hands: "Master, your wine." ”

Picking up the wine jug in one hand, the man threw the ingot of silver and threw it on the table, and walked out with a step: "Shopkeeper, ask you all the way, the helmsman of the beggar gang, how to go?" ”

"More than 60 miles north of the west gate of the town, there is a persimmon forest, and there is a village courtyard in the depths, and there is."

"Hehe, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Seeing this uninhibited man disappear at the door of the store, the shopkeeper muttered a word of "weirdo" and then walked back to the back of the counter and dozed off.

Second floor.

Yin Zhiping woke up after seeing the man go out, and was about to get up with a sword in his hand, and looked at Dai Cheng on the side with some surprise: "What's wrong?" Yin Zhangjiao. ”

"This matter is a long story, Master Dai, let's drink it another day, all the disciples of Quanzhen will listen to the order and immediately set off for the helm of the beggar gang!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Yin Zhiping's expression was extremely grim, Dai Cheng was not easy to ask, and when he saw a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect walking downstairs quickly, he also turned his head and returned to his gang and shouted: "Pack up your things and leave for the beggar gang!" ”

He was very keenly aware of the fact that things were not simple, and he chose to follow in the footsteps of Yin Zhiping as soon as possible.

.....................

Sunset.

The chief helm of the beggar gang ushered in an uninvited guest, but when he saw that the comer was alone, he slowly walked into the depths of the persimmon forest under the setting sun, and the shadow was stretched longer and longer under the sunset.

After this battle, the defense strength of the beggar gang can be said to have been greatly improved, not to mention three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, but it is not much worse, the man has not approached the main rudder, and there are squatting beggar gang disciples who found that there are also men who do not have any reason to hide their figures.

"Who is coming! Get your name in! ”

No less than seven or eight beggar disciples immediately appeared and reprimanded.

The man stroked the ponytail at the back of his head and said with a smile: "Dongzhang." ”

"Hiss ......."

A burst of gasping voices sounded, and the faces of the beggars turned pale one after another, and an older eight-bag disciple had the courage to shout loudly: "You.... You're ......"

"Hehe, there can still be a fake, go tell your Hong gang leader, Dongzhang is visiting, it's late, I don't guarantee that I still have the patience to wait......."

As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't dare to suspect again, and the eight-bag disciple immediately turned around and ran towards the main rudder, his steps showing panic.

In the main altar, Hong Qigong sat in the first place, and after listening to the disciple's report, his old face sank, and he shouted: "You mean he is here?!" ”

The eight-bag disciple was overwhelmed by the former's momentum, and responded tremblingly: "Yes... Yes, he said that you will know by telling the helper. ”

"What is he doing at this stall......" Hong Qigong's heart couldn't help but sink, Dongzhang still has a certain understanding of this person, it is not a matter of importance, and it will never come to the door in person, because there are not many people in this world who can invite him, is it because of him??

Hong Qigong didn't dare to speculate further, nor did he dare to let this man wait too long, so he immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Please let him in!" ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Dongzhang to enter the beggar gang headquarters under the guidance of the beggar gang disciples.

Under the attention of nearly a thousand people, Dongzhang came leisurely, perhaps because of the Hong Qigong suppression array, the disciples of the beggar gang all looked at this man with hatred, and they really wanted to give this man a little color in terms of momentum, more precisely, to give him a dismount.

But they were all disappointed, under the murderous gaze of the audience, Dongzhang was still as calm as ever, with a warm smile on his face, as casual as if he was walking in his own backyard.

walked all the way to the long table, and a melodious voice like a yellow warbler suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Brother Dongzhang! ”

But Guo Fu on the side was surprised when he saw someone coming, and Huang Rong's face on the side was a little pale, maybe he was injured internally, but he still nodded slightly at Dongzhang.

After glancing at the delicate mother and daughter, Dongzhang walked quickly to the long table and sat down, at this time the long table was lined with dozens of copper pots, thinking that it should be used to entertain people from various sects.

Picking up a pair of unused fast men and shabu meat, the people and horses on the left and right sides of Dongzhang immediately jumped up and fled far away, a picture of not wanting to be with him, during which Yin Zhiping's face was the most ugly.

After he saw Dongzhang in the drunken heart building this morning, he took a shortcut and rushed all the way to the helm of the beggar gang, at this time, the front foot had just arrived, and he didn't have time to announce to Hong Qi that Dongzhang's back foot was coming.

At this time, a group of people watched Dongzhang sitting alone at the table and making hot pot, Hong Qigong frowned deeply when he saw this, and said in a deep voice: "Dongzhang, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, why did you come here?" ”

Scooping up a piece of tender mutton and sending it to his mouth, Dongzhang praised it: "The food here is really good, you have been hungry for a day, and you are comfortable." ”

"Dongzhang!

”

Under the eyes of everyone, Hong Qigong's face became even more ugly, and he immediately scolded sharply, and three circles of invisible ripples came out of his body.

But Dongzhang, who was holding the bowl quickly, was unmoved, only squinted at the angry Hong Qigong, and then lowered his head and ate the meat slices: "You are still so strict....."

"I heard that you have arrested someone, can you let me meet ......"

The people in the field plus the various sects and factions, the total number of people is nearly a thousand, and they all have an illusion now, that is, although this man has no fluctuations, he faintly resists Hong Qigong's violent momentum.

You must know that there are very few people in the rivers and lakes who can act so firmly under the pressure of Hong Qigong's momentum, but this is a long-term eye.

Seeing that he didn't look like a joke, Hong Qigong also compromised, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Bring people out!" ”

Soon, the two beggar disciples carried a young man covered in blood into the inner hall, and when they came to the high platform, they threw the person to the side of the steps, but saw that the person's right hand was unnaturally bent at the moment, and the leg bone of his left leg was also like this, thinking that it was broken, half of his face was covered with blood stains, and his hair was fluffy and messy.

The slightly thin lips were cracked and dry, and the eyes were even darker, thinking that they had not eaten for many days.

Seeing the visitor, Dongzhang put down the bowl quickly, turned his head to look at the young man and grinned: "Didn't you go to drink.....

The young man sat on the ground with his back against the steps at this time, and when he heard this, he also looked up at Dongzhang and showed a mouthful of big white teeth: "Hehe, I fell on the road......."
