Chapter 58: Conspiracy

Tianlong Gang, Bao Yuchun paced back and forth, holding a big red invitation card in his hand, his two eyebrows tightly together, and sighed from time to time. A man with a pockmarked face was watching Bao Yuchun pacing back and forth, although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that the Tianlong Gang should be in trouble.

"Uncle, what happened to you? Nephew sees that you are very worried, could it be that something big happened to our Tianlong Gang?"

The man finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and asked.

Bao Yuchun sighed, raised the invitation card in his hand and said, "I just received an invitation inviting us to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new gang leader of the Zhenyuan Gang. We Tianlong Gang and Zhenyuan Gang have always been at odds with each other, and there have even been disputes, and the two gangs have also fought each other and suffered casualties, but I don't know what it means to send an invitation at this time. ”

The man frowned and said in surprise: "The new gang leader? Didn't his son Wen Xu take over as the gang leader after Wen Datong's death? Why did there be a new gang leader? What the hell is going on? Did the invitation say who the new gang leader is?"

Bao Yuchun shook his head, handed the invitation to the man and said, "Tianhe, you can see for yourself." ”

Bao Tianhe took the invitation with both hands, and saw only a few sentences on the invitation, only mentioning a time and a place, and nothing else, let alone the name of the new gang leader. This unconventional invitation made Bao Yuchun's uncle and nephew scratch their heads.

Bao Yuchun paced a few more steps and said: "If we don't go, we will inevitably be laughed at by our colleagues, and if we go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good." ”

Bao Tianhe was puzzled and said: "Uncle, what do you mean by this? Whether we go or not, my nephew thinks it's okay, and even I don't think it's a big deal to go." ”

Bao Yuchun sighed and said: "Now the people in the entire rivers and lakes think that I killed Wen Datong, if we go, there will inevitably be a fight, and sometimes it will make you unclear, not to mention that we don't know who the new gang leader is." If we don't go, it will be even more true, and it won't be long before it will spread all over the rivers and lakes that my Tianlong Gang killed Wen Datong, and I didn't dare to go for fear of the Zhenyuan Gang's revenge. In today's affairs, we can't advance or retreat, it's really a dilemma!"

Bao Tianhe said thoughtfully: "The lesser of the two phases, my nephew thinks it's better to go, we still have time and opportunity to explain the matter of Wen Datong, if you don't go, it's really troublesome." ”

Bao Yuchun nodded when he heard this: "Now it's only like this, if it is to fight for the interests of China, I will not be merciful." But we can't afford trumped-up charges, killing is killing, and not killing is not killing. In this way, there are still two days left to start the ceremony today, Tianhe, you go to the quicksand gang for me, and we still need to advance and retreat together at that time. ”

Bao Tianhe took the order and left, Bao Yuchun hesitated for a moment, and then went out, no one talked to him all the way, just hurried away.

Hu Jin also received an invitation in his hand, and at this time he was consulting with the eight disciples of "Wind and Cloud, Thunder and Lightning, Songzhu Meilan". Hu Jin's eight disciples are all members of the Hu family, and like Hu Wei, they are all Hu Jin's sons and nephews, so Hu Jin not only passed on their martial arts in person, but also could discuss everything with them.

Hu Jin gave the invitation to the eight disciples and circulated them one by one and asked: "You are all elites of the Hu family, and you are also young talents on the rivers and lakes, what do you think of this matter?"

Hu Feng saw that all the brothers were looking at each other, so he spoke: "Zhenyuan Gang new gang leader, this invitation is not clearly stated, judging from the prestige of our Hu family, we don't have to take it too seriously, so I think I can go or not." ”

Hu Feng is the head of the eight disciples, and he is the best of the eight disciples in martial arts. Because of his talent and high understanding, he won Hu Jin's appreciation, but this person is lustful and gambling, so many people can't get used to it on weekdays.

Hu Feng's words attracted Hu Jin's attention, and Hu Jin asked unhurriedly: "Okay, tell me why you can go and why you can't go?"

Hu Feng took the lead in his words, and said proudly: "The Zhenyuan Gang is just a small gang, not to mention others, even if it is the former gang leader Wen Datong, he is just a mediocre person in martial arts." Master is known as the hero of the southwest, who doesn't know who doesn't know in the entire Yun, Gui, and Sichuan martial arts? Being able to save face for him is only based on the martial arts, and this is the reason why he can go. ”

Hu Fengman thought that his lofty talk could be recognized by everyone, so after saying a while, he paused and glanced at everyone. Unexpectedly, there was no reaction from everyone, only Hu Jin nodded with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

Hu Feng cleared his throat, relieved his embarrassment, and then said: "As for the reason why you can't go, it's precisely because of this. The Hu family is a southwestern family, how can they lose their worth because of the Zhenyuan Gang?"

Hu Jin was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still endured it and asked, "Then according to you, do I go or not?"

Hu Feng hurriedly said: "The disciple thinks that the master can't go, but our Hu family has to go." Naturally, the master does not have to bow his own price and go, just send one or two people from among the disciples to go, and if the disciples have anything inappropriate, please ask the master to make it clear. ”

Hu Jin's heart was like a mirror, and the other seven people also knew the reason why Hu Feng said this. Although Hu Feng is the head of the eight disciples, no matter what happens, Hu Jin puts his son Hu Wei in front. Therefore, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows Hu Wei, and they have only heard of the names of the other eight disciples and have not seen many people. It is precisely because of this that Hu Feng entered the arena to fight for the opportunity to show his face, including this time.

Hu Jin smiled and asked, "What Feng'er said makes sense, it has really grown a lot these days, so according to you, will other gangs such as the Tianlong Gang go this time?"

Hu Feng knew that this was testing himself, and intuitively he could feel that his opportunity to show his face was about to come, and he thought to himself that he must perform well this time and break everyone's perception of him.

Hu Feng didn't think about it, and hurriedly replied: "In the opinion of the disciples, the Zhenyuan Gang held a celebration ceremony when the new gang leader was selected, which means that the Zhenyuan Gang must want to show their faces in the martial arts. Therefore, although the Zhenyuan Gang, the Tianlong Gang, the Quicksand Gang, and other enemies are like enemies, they still send invitations like us on the surface. ”

"Although the Tianlong Gang and the Zhenyuan Gang are on the same page, there will still be no less politeness on the surface, and even the Tianlong Gang will use the celebration to completely suppress the Zhenyuan Gang on the rivers and lakes. One wants to show prestige, and the other wants to take the opportunity to suppress, so the conflict between the two gangs in the celebration is also essential. ”

Hu Jin had to admire this big disciple's quick thinking, such judgment, which was an advantage that Hu Wei and other disciples did not have. It's just that because this disciple's heart is unstable, and his style of acting sometimes makes him unaccustomed to it, because of the face of the clan, he didn't reprimand him, Hu Jin has already made a big concession.

Hu Jin asked again: "Then if the Tianlong Gang and the Zhenyuan Gang have a quarrel at the celebration, how should we deal with it?"

Everyone admired Hu Feng's quick thinking, so they could only keep silent, just waiting for Hu Feng's performance.

Hu Feng also wanted to seize this opportunity, so he said: "The martial arts in the world are in the same vein, so naturally the calmer the rivers and lakes, the better." If the Zhenyuan Gang and the Tianlong Gang are in trouble, we can only persuade peace, and we cannot take sides. ”

Hu Jin was very happy that Hu Feng could have such an insight, so he didn't even think about it and said, "Well, very good, since that's the case, you will go with me for the celebration in two days." ”

Hu Feng was ecstatic, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and asked, "Yes, the disciple obeys the order, but what about the senior brother, why didn't he go?"

Hu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Your senior brother needs to retreat in the near future, so you can just go with me." Everyone should practice diligently, understand right and wrong, and disperse. ”

After sending out the disciples, Hu Jin remembered what Hu Wei had said at the beginning, and then thought that Huang Shan and Han Santong hadn't heard from them for a while, could it be that they had left Yunnan? Probably not, since they had come here, it was impossible for them to leave quietly without doing anything, so what were they doing? Will they play any role in the celebration of the Zhenyuan Gang this time? Of course, he didn't know that person was Xi Zhen and not Han Santong, let alone that Xi Zhen was dead.

While thinking about it, Bao Yuchun came to visit, Hu Jin frowned slightly, he must have come for the celebration. Hu Jin didn't want to see Bao Yuchun, but after weighing the pros and cons, he still had to invite Bao Yuchun to meet in the study.

As soon as Bao Yuchun saw Hu Jin, he didn't have time to greet him and asked anxiously: "Does Hu Daxia know about the celebration of the new gang leader of the Zhenyuan Gang?"

Hu Jin handed over the invitation card in his hand to Bao Yuchun and said: "Zhenyuan Gang has someone to restrain you, so that you will not scatter the rivers and lakes and endanger the Quartet, this is a great joy, how can I not know?"

Bao Yuchun saw that his invitation was exactly the same as Hu Jin's invitation, and there was no dissimilarity, so he felt a little relieved, but the matter of the Zhenyuan Gang had been stuck in the middle of his throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.

"It turns out that Hu Daxia also received the invitation, and I also received it in the next place, but I have been thinking about whether to participate. Now it's hard for me to decide whether to go or not. ”

As soon as Bao Yuchun opened his mouth, he confided out what he was thinking without reservation.

Hu Jin suddenly stared at Bao Yuchun and asked sharply: "Whether Wen Datong was killed by you or not, you'd better tell me honestly." Otherwise, the celebration after three days will most likely make you and me unable to get off the stage. ”

Bao Yuchun was instantly frightened by Hu Jin's eyes, and hurriedly denied: "Hu Daxia, I, Bao Yuchun, am also a person who dares to act, if I don't kill it, I won't kill it." Isn't it a legend that Wen Datong died from Du Si's gossip heart-shattering palm?

When Hu Jin heard this, his face instantly softened, and he said softly: "Brother Bao doesn't have to be nervous, since Brother Bao didn't do this, then what do you have to be nervous about? There is a quarrel between the two gangs, and it is normal at this time, why don't you take advantage of this celebration and turn the two families into jade silk, isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Hearing Hu Jin say this, Bao Yuchun knew that there was no point in going on, so after staying for a while, he got up and went back to the Tianlong Gang.
