Zhao Bufan knew that it would be difficult for the beggar gang to accept the fact that the Chen gang leader was dead for a while, so he was not too anxious and waited quietly for them to vent their emotions.

After a long time, the disciples of the beggar gang finally calmed down, and Zhao Bufan opened his mouth again: "Shang Kunyang, you go with me for a while, I will teach you the eighteen palms of dragon descent and the dog stick method, this is what your master meant!"

"Okay! I don't have anything to bring, so I'll go with you!" Shang Kunyang was young but very courageous, and he quickly cheered up from his sadness, and his eyes showed determination.

As soon as the words fell, one of the nine bags of elders suddenly stood up.

"Slow!"

Everyone looked over.

This Nine Bags Elder was stout and looked to be about fifty years old, and he walked to the front with a big grin in the eyes of everyone. "Brothers, brothers, according to the rules of my beggar gang, the gang leaders of the past generations have always been elected by holding a general meeting, how can there be a reason? Now that the Chen gang leader has passed away, it is reasonable to immediately convene the core gang members to convene a general meeting and choose a new gang leader!"

"Elder Xu, what do you mean by this? Shang Kunyang is a closed disciple of Gang Master Chen, he has outstanding talent, he has long been determined to be the heir of the Beggar Gang, who doesn't know the disciples of the Beggar Gang?" The Nine Bags Elder who first came to receive Zhao Bufan asked angrily, he was obviously older, with a lot of gray hair on his head, and his figure was relatively thin.

Elder Xu smiled, thrust the nine-ring broadsword in his hand into the ground, and continued: "Elder Zhang, Shang Kunyang is indeed amazingly talented, and he will become a great weapon in the future, at that time, everyone agreed that he was the best choice for the next gang leader, but who would have thought that Gang Leader Chen would die young? The current Shang Kunyang is too young after all, whether it is martial arts or qualifications, it is difficult to convince the public, and he has no major contributions in the gang, how can he be a gang leader?"

Elder Zhang obviously supported Shang Kunyang very much, and he was an anxious person, so angry that his face turned green, and he scolded: "Xu Tianzheng, our beggar gang is now withering, and only Shang Kunyang is a top good seedling in the younger generation, don't you know? As an elder, if you don't try to help him grow up, what kind of old qualifications are you selling here? Could it be that you still want to be a helper?"

"What's not to do?" Elder Xu asked with a big smile, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he continued loudly: "In terms of qualifications, I have been in the Beggar Gang for more than 20 years, and in terms of martial arts, except for the Chen Gang Leader, who is stronger than me, who in the Beggar Gang can stabilize me." In terms of qualifications, I am an elder of the Nine Bags, of course I have the right to compete for the gang leader, why can't I?"

"So you had this idea?" Elder Zhang laughed angrily and said coldly: "I'll tell you, there are no doors, Shang Kunyang must be the helper!"

“......”

For a while, the two elders of the Beggar Gang of Nine Bags quarreled like this, and gradually attracted the disciples of the Beggar Gang to divide into several factions, some supported this, some supported that, some were silent, and some persuaded each other, which was really a mess.

"This beggar gang is really a rabble now!"

Zhao Bufan scolded secretly in his heart, he didn't have time to accompany this group of Jianghu people to fight for me, he suddenly turned over and got on the horse, and said in a hurry: "Okay, don't quarrel!"

When everyone turned their eyes over, he didn't look at it, and looked directly at Shang Kunyang, who had always remained silent.

"Who is the leader of the gang is your beggar's own business, I only promised the Chen gang leader to transfer the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog-beating stick method to Shang Kunyang, I will do what I promised, you go back and fight slowly, Shang Kunyang will go with me now, and when he learns the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog-beating stick method, I will naturally let him go back to your beggar gang!"

"What a big breath!" Elder Xu snorted coldly, suddenly grabbed the nine-ring broadsword inserted on the ground, and said unceremoniously: "The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending and the Dog Stick Method are only qualified to be learned by the gang leader, how can you leave before we decide who will be the gang leader?

Zhao Bufan was really angry, feeling that these people were really unreasonable, and his eyes quickly turned cold.

"What are you to let me abolish my martial arts?"

"The bold boy actually said wildly, where is the disciple of the beggar gang, why don't you quickly take down this traitor who stole the secret skills of our beggar gang, and wait for torture to force us to ask for the secret skills of our beggar gang before making a decision!" Elder Xu scolded sharply.

Zhao Bufan really laughed angrily, and his voice echoed in the ears of everyone at the scene with a strong internal force.

"Since I, Zhao Bufan, have gained a firm foothold in Northern Xinjiang, except for those Liao people, no one has ever said in front of me that they want to use torture to deal with me.

"Northern Xinjiang?Zhao Bufan?" Shang Kunyang was the first to react, his eyes blazing. "You are General Zhao Bufan, the nine-tailed divine fox?"

Zhao Bufan didn't have time to fight meaninglessly with these beggars, so he didn't hide his identity, and planned to directly deter the other party.

"I'm Zhao Bufan, I want to see what kind of torture the beggars want to use against me?"

In an instant, all the beggar disciples were in an uproar.

"This person turned out to be General Zhao Bufan, the hero of the anti-Liao resistance?"

"I offended General Zhao today, how can this be good?"

"If we openly detain General Zhao, not to mention being ridiculed by the world, the imperial court will inevitably send troops to clean it up!

“......”

The noisy discussion made Elder Xu's face blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to say another half a word.

Zhao Bufan snorted coldly, had no intention of rubbing with them, turned the horse's head, and rode the horse forward.

"Shang Kunyang come with me, and then come back when you learn the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog-beating stick method, this is what your master meant, it's up to you whether you listen or not!"

Shang Kunyang didn't hesitate for a moment, and stepped out of the crowd, following closely behind his horse.

"Elder Zhang, I'll be back in a few days!"

Elder Zhang was also shocked by Zhao Bufan's identity, and only reacted at this moment, and nodded again and again: "You can go with confidence!

Under the gaze of many beggar disciples, Zhao Bufan took Shang Kunyang and gradually drifted away!

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

Luoyang, Xijing, is one of the most prosperous cities in the Great Song Dynasty, and now because of the holding of the Luoyang Conference, it is even more lively, the streets and alleys are full of people, businessmen and celebrities from all walks of life, dignitaries, heroes and dignitaries, and peddlers and pawns abound, walking on the street, all kinds of shouts are endless.

Shang Kunyang was still a teenager, and when he saw such a lively scene, he quickly forgot about the unhappy things in his heart for a while.

"Brother Zhao, is it so lively in Kaifeng, Tokyo?"

"Almost!" Zhao Bufan said casually.

Earlier, he took Shang Kunyang to the post house in the east of the city to look for Zhu Lian and others, but he didn't find it, judging from the reply of the post house manager, they did go, but the post house was full at that time, and they left on their own to find another place to stay, so Zhao Bufan was in a hurry to find someone at the moment, and he had no intention of saying more.

Shang Kunyang looked at his face and saw that he was not in a good mood, so he followed closely at the moment, but he still couldn't help but look at him secretly.

The two inquired about various inns and restaurants for a while, but they didn't find any news.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.

"No, Luoyang is so big, and now there are so many people, I don't know when I will find them if I continue to ask like this, it seems that I can only reveal my identity to find Huang Sheng and the people from the government!"

Earlier, he did not intend to expose his identity prematurely, although the Luoyang Conference was held in the name of the official, and the bandits from all sides would definitely not dare to participate, but it is difficult to say whether anyone was secretly lurking to see the excitement, and Huaixi Wang Qing and several masters under his command were placed by him last year, and they hated him to the core, and it was difficult to ensure that it would not lead to meaningless disputes. What's more, appearing in Luoyang too early will be easier to be calculated, Tong Guan and Yang Jian both want him to die early and be born sooner!

The government is located in the west of the city, and the huge school field next to it is also the main venue of the Luoyang Conference, when Zhao Bufan and monk Kunyang arrived, today's competition has ended, and the venue of the banner exhibition seems a little deserted, and you can see which empty rings can be seen from afar.

Shang Kunyang stared at the banner fluttering on the VIP seat, his eyes showed longing, and the banner was written with the four big characters "No. 1 in the world".

Zhao Bufan accidentally noticed his eyes, with a smile on his face: "What? Do you want to be the best in the world?"

"Well, that's exactly what I want, but I'm afraid it's hard to do!" Shang Kunyang nodded heavily, and inadvertently clenched his fists.

Zhao Bufan was noncommittal, smiled and shook his head: "It's a good thing to have a wish, no matter if you can realize it or not, how do you know if you can't do it, you just need to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a shout.

"Master Zhao!!"

"Shi Wengong?" Zhao Bufan knew who it was when he heard the voice, and suddenly turned his head to look, just in time to see Shi Wengong striding towards him, and immediately shouted happily: "I can be regarded as finding you, where are you hiding?"

Shi Wengong hurriedly walked closer, and saluted anxiously: "Owner, we settled in Wanbaolou not far away, we were eating just now, and we were about to rush to Huazhou after eating, but Cao Zheng saw you walking through the street downstairs, so I chased after me alone!"

Zhao Bufan smiled: "What are you doing in Huazhou, didn't I ask you to wait for me in Luoyang? Fortunately, you didn't leave, otherwise I wouldn't have missed it with you?"

"No!" Shi Wengong looked slightly guilty, lowered his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "We went to Huazhou because the owner's wife had an accident!"

"Lian'er, what happened to her?" Zhao Bufan's heart tightened.

"Hey, it's all subordinates who are incompetent, and they can't protect the owner's wife!" Shi Wengong lowered his head and arched his hand: "The owner of the village went to Shaohua Mountain alone, and we also rushed to Luoyang, but after only one day, Miss Zhiyuezhi couldn't help it, and had to go to meet you, but fortunately, the owner's wife stopped her strongly." I thought this was over, but we didn't pay much attention to it, but we didn't know that Miss Zhiyuezhi quietly left Luoyang that night, and we only found out the next morning.

Mrs. Zhuang was in a hurry, worried that it would be bad for them to sneak to Huazhou, so she immediately ordered her subordinates and Zhang Jiaotou to continue to stay here to participate in the Luoyang Conference, and she took Hu Sanniang and five Zhuangzhong brothers to chase after her, I was going to follow, but Mrs. was not allowed. She said that Zhang Jiaotou and I have already represented Juxianzhuang in the Luoyang Conference, and if she leaves suddenly, it will make people think that she is avoiding the war, which will affect Juxianzhuang's reputation in the hearts of the warriors, and even affect the future business!"

When Zhao Bufan heard this, his brows were already furrowed like a Sichuan character.

"What happened to that Lian'er, and how did you know?"

Shi Wengong smiled bitterly: "We also just learned that the people who came to report the news were Hu Sanniang and the green forest heroes on Shaohua Mountain, and we ate because they didn't eat a drop of water for a day and a night, so we planned to wait until we ate before leaving, otherwise we would have rushed over a long time ago!"

"The more you say, the more confused I become, how can someone from Shaohua Mountain follow to report the news?" Zhao Bufan stared at Shi Wengong's eyes and asked.

Shi Wengong didn't dare to hesitate, and arched his hand: "According to what Hu Sanniang said, the owner and wife chased all the way to the vicinity of Tongguan but did not see any trace of Zheyuezhi, but met an unknown master on the road. That master had at least four products of force, and he seemed to be looking for something, but after seeing the owner's wife, he suddenly shot at them, and the owner's wife and Hu Sanniang couldn't beat him together, but fortunately, the five Zhuangzhong brothers delayed with death, which allowed them to find a chance to escape.

Mrs. Zhuang and Hu Sanniang then rushed to Fushui Town in Huayin County, and then met the girl Zheyuezhi at the only inn in Shishui Town. It turned out that the girl Zheyuezhi got lost after arriving in Huazhou, and she didn't figure out Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain, so she went to Taihua Mountain earlier, and found that she went to the wrong place before she was rerouted through Shishui Town. Because the owner's wife and Hu Sanniang were both slightly injured at that time, they stayed in Shishui Town for the time being to treat their injuries, who would have thought that something would happen after such a delay of two days. ”

Zhao Bufan's expression froze: "That master is chasing after you?"

"That's good!" Shi Wengong nodded and continued: "Hu Sanniang said that at that time, they thought that the master was a good man in the green forest, because they saw the peerless beauty of the owner's wife and saw it, so they didn't pay much attention since they fled, but they didn't expect that the master actually chased after him, and he also brought twenty or thirty masters to chase and intercept, all of them were well-trained killers. Although Miss Zheyuezhi could block that master, the owner's wife and Hu Sanniang couldn't stop so many people, and the three of them broke through the siege in a bloody battle and ran all the way!

Because they found that those people were mainly aimed at the owner's wife, when the girl fled to a dense forest, she forced the owner's wife to exchange clothes while the other party had not caught up, and then asked the owner's wife to rush to Zheng County to ask for help from the government, and she and Hu Sanniang led the master away to flee in the direction of Shaohua Mountain. ”

Zhao Bufan sweated on his forehead when he heard this, and his heart became more and more nervous, and he clenched his fists unnaturally.

"What happened later? Did the government save anyone?"

"The government?" Shi Wengong snorted angrily, suppressed his anger and said: "According to what Hu Sanniang said, after the owner's wife successfully escaped, the girl and Hu Sanniang will have less burden, although they can't compete with those who are chasing and killing, but the other party is also difficult to help them, and when those people find out that the owner's wife is no longer there, they give up the pursuit, and the real accident is in the government's mansion, and it is in the Huazhou prefect He Zhizhou!"
