Sifang Inn, the largest hotel in Bianjing. There are more than 100 guest rooms in the front building and backyard on five floors.

But a recent competition between Jin and Song in the capital has filled this place with characters from all walks of life.

On this day, as soon as the meal arrived, the hall on the first floor suddenly became lively. Everyone was talking about the same thing: Yesterday, a slightly famous sect in the rivers and lakes coincidentally received an invitation to come to the ceremony three days later.

Look at the name of the inscription 'Zhao Weiming', because no one has heard of this person, I have the intention not to go, but because the invitations are sent by the Shaolin and Wudang disciples who are now in charge of martial arts, I am afraid that the two major factions will lose face, and the venue of this ceremony will be held in Shanzhou, which is not far from Bianjing;

Lanzhou is located on the side of the Jin and Song dynasties bordering the Song Dynasty. Due to its special strategic location, since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it has been regarded as an important northern town to defend Bianjing, and Kaide Mansion has stationed troops all year round to resist the Khitan and Jurchen in the north.

On this day, in a vacant lot in front of a ruined temple outside the city of Kaide Province, thousands of beggars gathered from time to place.

Although most of these beggars were dressed in rags, they all looked solemn and quickly divided into several groups under the arrangement of the deacons, and they all stared solemnly at a platform in front of the ruined temple.

As soon as the hour passed, all kinds of characters began to appear one after another. They were all high-ranking figures from various factions who had come to watch the ceremony according to the invitation of the previous day.

After coming, seeing that there were few seats, except for a few people with higher reputations, most of the rest of the people stood quietly and watched coldly.

But more than half an hour passed, and seeing that there was still no movement from the beggars on the field, some people began to talk among the heroes.

At first, the voice was very small, but gradually it became louder and louder, and then someone shouted out, 'Damn, I hurt Lao Tzu to come over early in the morning, and I want to see what kind of house to watch the ceremony!'

Seeing this, the Fang Zheng Master and the Spirit Void Dao Master, who were mixed in the middle of the group of heroes, hurriedly got up and walked to stand in front of the group of heroes.

After signaling everyone to be quiet, Master Fang Zheng said loudly, "Today, Lao Wei and Lingxu Dao Master invite all martial arts friends to come, not for anything else, but to witness a martial arts event happen!"

'Qunhao had originally come here because of the prestige of Master Fang Zheng and Lingxu Dao Master, but now that Master Fang Zheng said this, they all stopped talking and kept silent.

After a short time, as soon as the time came, a person walked out of the ruined temple and climbed onto the earthen platform in front of everyone.

Qunhao looked at it, and immediately someone recognized that it was Wang Yuanheng, who had fought with the Dragon Elephant Mage twice and had refused to accept the leader of the martial arts alliance.

When he was young, after Wang Yuanheng stood still on the earthen platform, he said loudly, "Today, I invite the two heads of Wudang Shaolin to invite you to come, just to correct the name of two things;

After a pause, he said, "Second, the 'Flower Gang' has a history of nearly 100 years since the founding of Zhuang Yifang's gang leader.

Because there are many hungry and cold people in the world, the number of disciples in the gang is also increasing day by day, and there are nearly 100,000 people so far; however, the number of people is bound to be uneven, and in recent years, the lack of restraint of the gang leaders has led to the 'Flower Gang' being torn apart, and the 'Flower Child Gang' with many disciples in the past has really existed in name only; but the people in the world who are bitter and cold cannot have no place to return, so under the recommendation of the elders of the gang, he was elected as the new gang leader.

After a pause, he continued, "But because the 'Hanako Gang' is a little tongue-twisting and seems to have a bit of fat powder, it is now called the 'Beggar Gang'."

In the future, we are willing to work together with all friends in the rivers and lakes to jointly safeguard the justice of martial arts and do our best!' As soon as these words came out, some people in the audience immediately applauded.

Immediately afterwards, after someone took the stage to read out the purpose and structure of the beggar gang, Master Fang Zheng came to the stage and preached loudly: "At that time, the Tao eliminated the demons, and my martial arts righteousness was quite powerful and had a sense of not being caught;

In addition, Zhao Weiming's gang leader is a young hero, and he has added a righteous spirit, which is really a blessing for my fellow martial arts practitioners!'After finishing speaking, that is, after Zhao Weiming and the important figures of various factions were led by the Lingxu Dao Chief to meet the ceremony one by one, Master Fang Zheng announced the completion of the ceremony, and the beggar gang was established.

Qunhao also recognized Zhao Weiming, the first leader of the beggar gang. Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Weiming picked a few disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect to introduce Qunhao into the city for dinner, and then accompanied Master Fang Zheng and Lingxu Dao Master to chat.

As he spoke, a disciple rushed to him. After seeing Zhao Weiming, he made up his mind and said, "Report to the gang leader, the brothers in the gang just found a large number of Jin soldiers on the border of Song and Jin, about hundreds of thousands of people;

Hearing this, Master Fang Zheng and Lingxu Dao Master were all shocked. Zhao Weiming glanced at the two of them and said, "There are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in this city of Lanzhou, although we are people in the rivers and lakes, but we are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty; After the Lingxu Daoist announced in unison, several people quickly agreed on the same opinion: Zhao Weiming took a group of disciples to the front line to check, Hong Qi was responsible for summoning the nearby brothers, and the two masters of the Lingxu Dao were informed of the heroes in the city, and another person was sent to report to the defenders of Lanzhou.

After all the arrangements were stopped, Zhao Weiming immediately rushed to the front line with a group of disciples. In the distance, I saw the golden soldiers flying like clouds, covering the sky and stretching for miles.

Sure enough, there are no less than hundreds of thousands! Zhao Weiming immediately gasped, "If this army attacks Lanzhou, I'm afraid it won't take half a day, and it will be destroyed by the Jin soldiers!"

It turned out that the Jin State had coveted the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains for a long time, and since the destruction of the Liao State, it has always had the intention of seeking the Central Plains.

However, because he was afraid of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, he kept holding back, but after changing the current gold lord, the new lord was anxious to establish his authority in front of his subjects, so he immediately began to plan to enter the Central Plains.

In the past, the competition between the Jin and Song dynasties was the beginning, and once the dragon elephant succeeded, the army immediately marched in an all-round way, but unexpectedly, the dragon elephant and the Song Dynasty opponents were tied.

Therefore, the gold lord, who was already impatient, immediately ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses to meet with 200,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei and Youerzhou and tens of thousands of troops on the border to converge together, and hundreds of thousands of troops pressed towards the border of the Song Dynasty.

Because of his combat experience in Nanzhao, Zhao Weiming first found the Jin Bing Shuai's account. For fear of alarming the people in the tent, Zhao Weiming found an imperceptible place and secretly looked inside.

At this time, a man in a brocade robe and a crown on his head seemed to be discussing with another person in military uniform.
