"We've been here for almost two years, and there doesn't seem to be any turning point...... "Two men and a woman are walking in the ruins of the vast ancient city of Yangzhou, one of whom said to the other, "The famine and epidemic in Yangzhou City are still going on, but now, there are still riots...... Fang Zhongtian, you are now the new head of Yixian Sect, and the head of the sect let you listen to the six roads widely, and come to this folk to taste the suffering. It's been two years, and you can't do nothing, right?"

The name of the person who spoke was Tian Xu, and he was Fang Zhongtian's brother. Two years ago, Fang Zhongtian had just succeeded Meng Yu and became the next head of Yixian Sect. Soon after becoming the head, the previous head Meng Yu asked Fang Zhongtian to go down to the mountains to observe the suffering of the people in various places, and now the tyranny of Mengyuan is becoming more and more chaotic, the people are not happy, and there is even a famine and epidemic in Yangzhou......

"We have done our best to help the people in need, but it seems that the three of us alone are not enough......," Fang Zhongtian couldn't help but think about what they had done in the past two years.

"Hmph, I think the reason why the people here are not living well, and there is still a riot, the fundamental reason is that the prefect of Yangzhou is incompetent, and the Mengyuan court does not care whether the people live or die - if you want to eradicate this qiē, you must rectify them, so that it is better than saving people every day and night. There are so many suffering people in the city, if we do it like we did before, not to mention two years, twenty years may not be effective-" Tian Xu said arrogantly, "Hmph, if you want me to say, just break off with the people of the Mengyuan court." so that they may thoroughly understand that they will endure hardships. Maybe it's more effective......"

"Absolutely not!" Before Tian Xu could finish speaking, Fang Zhongtian immediately refused. "Meng Zhangmen told me before I went down the mountain, no matter what I encountered, I must not be lightly involved with the Mengyuan court - saving the people is saving the people, and the area is deeply involved in the chaos of the court and politics, let alone saving people, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself......"

"So you are indecisive, and the head of the difficult pass Meng is not completely at ease to hand over a martial arts faction like Yixianmen to you-" Tian Xu instead "laughed" Fang Zhongtian, "I don't care what you think, if it's me." I will definitely go deep into Meng Yuan's body and find out the truth-" Although Tian Xu's tone was "mocking", he and Fang Zhongtian were good brothers after all, and such words were nothing more than benign instigation.

Lan Gu listened to it on the side, and also interjected: "To be honest, I also think Tian Xu is right, Zhongtian, if you want to become the head of a faction, you can't do it without a grand heart." Although the head of Meng told you before. His words are not unreasonable, but if you want to become the real head of the Yixian Sect, you must have independent consciousness...... You listen to whatever the head of the Meng family says, so what kind of faction are you?"

Lan Gu at this time. and Fang Zhongtian are still partners who depend on each other and love each other, although Lan Gu's tone is impatient and straightforward, but Fang Zhongtian knows it very well. Lan Gu herself has no ill will. Although his two best friends both objected to his "conservatism", Fang Zhongtian still insisted on his principles. resolutely said: "It's still not good, once you go deep into the circle of the Mengyuan court." It's hard to come up with, no matter how high your martial arts are...... Moreover, going deep into the government is not something you can control casually......"

"It's the same as not saying it for a long time...... Tian Xu couldn't hold his breath here, he glanced at Fang Zhongtian, then at Lan Gu, and said with a wry smile, "Even Lan Gu agrees with my idea, Fang Zhongtian, why are you still this wooden mind?" Lan Gu, otherwise, the two of us will go to the prefect's side to check the situation in a while, don't care about Fang Zhongtian......

However, although Lan Gu opposed Fang Zhongtian in her words, she was her partner after all, and she followed Fang Zhongtian all the way, and Lan Gu didn't really blame her. On the contrary, it was Tian Xu, Lan Gu also knew in her heart that Tian Xu also had a good impression of herself, but she didn't want to be close to him, after all, she was still a friend, so many times Lan Gu was more with Fang Zhongtian.

Sure enough, Lan Gu stood beside Fang Zhongtian and responded with a chuckle: "You are less naïve, I just said it casually...... Go yourself, I'm not going to get involved. How can Zhong Tian say that he is also the new head of Yixian Sect now, and he will not be disproportionate in what he does, unlike you, who is still swaggering everywhere with his martial arts, which makes people feel uneasy......"

Seeing that Lan Gu had always protected Fang Zhongtian, it was very unpleasant to see Lan Gu's affectionate Tian Xu. But for the sake of his own Fang Zhongtian is brother, Tian Xu still held back. However, Tian Xu's character is incompatible with Fang Zhongtian, Fang Zhongtian seeks stability and conservatism, and Tian Xu is frivolous by nature. He didn't believe Fang Zhongtian's words, and he wanted to find out to the end, so he actually stood up straight and said: "Okay, you don't go, I'll go by myself--if you don't go deep into the Mengyuan Imperial Court, how can you cure the people's suffering? I see that you Fang Zhongtian is afraid of death, so you won't do it-Hmph, when I find the key to these and cure the problem, see what else you have to say......" After speaking, Tian Xu turned his head sullenly and flew away.

"Eh-" Fang Zhongtian didn't say a few words, but when he saw Tian Xu leaving "angrily", he couldn't stop it if he wanted to. However, Fang Zhongtian didn't care, after all, as a worship brother, he knew Tian Xu's character very well. Although he is arrogant by nature, it is just a short-term "small fight", and it won't be long before the love will recover again.

"Okay, don't worry about this guy, except for talking big, don't do a little bit of business......" Lan Gu seemed to know Tian Xu very well, took Fang Zhongtian's hand, snuggled and said, "I'll just follow you, although that guy is impatient and misbehaves, but after all, his martial arts are strong, if he encounters any danger, it won't be a big deal...... This time he went, eighty percent of it was empty, and when he got nothing, he would come back himself, anyway, it wasn't the first time......"

"I hope that's fine......" Fang Zhongtian thought of Tian Xu's hurried departure just now, and said silently.

Lan Gu originally wanted to continue to "love" with Fang Zhongtian, but looking at Fang Zhongtian's hesitation, Lan Gu asked again: "Zhongtian, what's wrong with you, why are you with this expression?"

Fang Zhongtian's eyes kept looking around at the burning ruins, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Lan Gu, don't you think it's very strange? I have been in Yangzhou for two years. And many righteous deeds were done, and the people of the city were afflicted with famine and pestilence. At that time, we just ignored the prefect of Yangzhou City...... But what is the matter with the ruins? Obviously, these are the traces of the riots in the city. If the prefect of Yangzhou really turned a blind eye, then what happened to the remains in this city? And the people did not have the strength to resist the imperial court, so who was the government fighting with, or was it a battle between the swords......

"It's the same, it seems that in the past two years, this is the first time we ......have seen this riot," Lan Gu guessed, "I wonder what big moves are being made in Yangzhou City, which will further increase the burden on the people in this area...... Lan Gu, although you can't interfere too much in the government. But we still need to get this straight, and maybe it will take a while......"

"As long as I'm with you, I don't complain......" Lan Gu snuggled up to Fang Zhongtian and said. For Lan Gu, at this time, she is just an innocent girl with a hint of arrogant personality, in her eyes, Fang Zhongtian is the pillar of her life, as long as he is by his side, she has no complaints......

Spent a short time in the ruins. For the time being, there was no trace of Tian Xu, so Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu still walked in the direction of the city together......

"Quick, quick, the new gang leader has appeared...... Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu were walking to an empty and cold alleyway, and a few people dressed as beggars suddenly ran behind them. A slightly excited expression hurriedly.

"Helper?" Fang Zhongtian heard the words of those beggars, and he was slightly puzzled in his heart, and said to himself.

"A few broken beggars. It's funny that they are still forming a gang...... "Lan Gu, who has never taken anything into account. Interrupted again.

"Beggar, Gang Master, could it be ......" Fang Zhongtian had a flash of inspiration and suddenly laughed to himself. "Maybe it's a gang of beggars—"

Fang Zhongtian's words woke up Lan Gu at once, Lan Gu was stunned, and turned around and said: "Beggar Gang, no, now that Yangzhou City is in turmoil, the people of the Beggar Gang will actually choose this place to elect a new gang leader?"

"Nothing has happened in Yangzhou City, legend has it that the three supreme predecessors in the martial arts, Shangguan Xianjian, Master Xuanqing and Canglong Daxia, have competed in Yangzhou ......" Fang Zhongtian said excitedly, "Anyway, there is no urgent matter now, why don't we also go and see the new beggar gang leader, this kind of scene is not a lifetime to have the opportunity to see ......"

After speaking, Fang Zhongtian took Lan Gu's hand and ran in the direction of the few beggars who were running fast just now......

In the direction just now, I went around a few alleys, and passed through a narrow corridor, and inside there was a sudden opening.

I saw that there is such a bright open space in the city, although there are no colorful embellishments around, only the loess that is different from other places in Yangzhou, but it gives people the style of being extremely swaying and solemn. On one side of the clearing, there is a tall evergreen tree, which is attacked by turmoil every year, but it grows taller and more luxuriant every year, symbolizing the indomitable character of man.

The scene in the open space was extremely solemn, and the hundreds of beggars helped the important disciples to stand neatly in two lanes. And in front of the middle away, along the stairs there is a single pavilion, in which stands a young man standing upright and holding a green staff. Needless to say, the green cane is the dog-beating stick handed down by the beggar gang leader for generations, which is intended to sweep away the evil in the world. And when the man slowly turned around, what Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu saw was a young but strong face.

With the gesture of one person on the side, all the beggar gang disciples present lowered their bodies at the same time and echoed in unison: "Gang Master Ge-"

"Is the new beggar gang leader's surname Ge......" Fang Zhongtian saw it in his eyes and said silently in his heart.

From now on, Ge will inherit the legacy of his predecessors, rectify the beggars internally, punish the traitors externally, and vow to make the beggars a model for the world's martial arts and even all sentient beings. When you die with me, Ge is grateful, and the beggars will live forever!" Ge Wei raised the dog-beating stick in his hand and swore an oath in righteous words.

"The essence of the beggar gang lasts forever - the essence of the beggar gang lasts forever-" The disciples of the beggar gang in the audience echoed in the face of the new beggar gang leader Ge Wei.

Only the two outsiders below, Zhongtian and Lan Gu, stood stupidly at the door of the clearing, looking at what happened in front of them, the two of them were still stunned and did not come back to their senses.

On Ge Wei's side, a person suddenly appeared beside him, looking more kind, and he said slowly: "Brother Ge, now you are the new leader of the beggar gang, and you always have the right to lead the beggar gang and act as a public security ...... in Yangzhou."

"Don't worry, Brother Xue, now I am the leader of the Beggar Gang, and I have the right to mobilize one of the gangs. I will definitely find out about the Yangzhou riots this time-" Ge Wei replied with a firm look in his eyes.

In fact, this person is Xue Feiji, who was previously known as the "Double Ranger of the Rivers and Lakes" with Ge Wei. Xue Feichen and Ge Wei are friends of life and death, and before Ge Wei became the leader of the beggar gang, the title of "Jianghu Double Ranger" has been widely spread around the world......

"Who is it?" Just as the beggar gang announced that the new gang leader had taken office, someone finally found that Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu were "mixed" into it, and a beggar disciple saw it, raised the long stick in his hand and asked.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu were stunned for a while, but Fang Zhongtian was still shocked, after all, as the head of Yixian Sect, like Ge Wei, he was an equal generation in terms of status and seniority, so there was nothing to worry about.

The rest of the beggar gang, including Ge Wei, also set their eyes on Fang Zhongtian at the same time. Fang Zhongtian saw that the scene was a little embarrassing, so he wanted to take a few steps forward and explain to Ge Wei face to face.

"In the land of the beggar gang, idlers are not allowed to enter-" The beggar gang disciple just now saw that Fang Zhongtian wanted to "break through", and used a long stick to block it.

"Hmph, just a few of you beggars, and you still want to block our way, it's just a fool's dream-" said that at this time, Lan Gu, who has always been arrogant, said a little "ignorant of what to do".

"What did you say?" The beggar disciples on the side were not happy to hear this, and they all cast hateful glances at Fang Zhongtian and Lan Gu.

"Lan Gu, don't be rude!" Fang Zhongtian knew Lan Gu's character, and immediately turned back to Lan Gu to "admonish" him.

"Hmph-" Lan Gu didn't pay attention to it, she glanced at it, and didn't look at these beggar gang disciples who were a group of "broken beggars" in her eyes.

Fang Zhongtian thought that after all, it was wrong for him and Lan Gu to break in, so he immediately apologized: "This brother, just now my friend was just in a hurry, so he was injured by mistake, and I hope that the beggar brothers can forgive me." I came here today, but I accidentally heard about the new leader of the beggar gang, so I wanted to meet with him-"

However, the disciples of the beggar gang didn't seem to appreciate it, and seeing Fang Zhongtian's dress, he didn't look like some famous martial arts person, so he said with a hint of contempt: "Hmph, who are you, our gang leader is the leader of the beggar gang, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes, are you guys who meet each other?"

"If you don't let it, it's not uncommon for us to-" Lan Gu, who couldn't help it, began to start a "temper" again.

"Lan Gu-" Fang Zhongtian was afraid that Lan Gu's character would be bad, so he reminded again.

"You girl has such a big tone, looking at the way you look, you don't take our beggars seriously...... I sue you, our beggar gang has always punished adultery, eliminated evil, and helped the poor, but when we meet a tricky and unreasonable person like you, we will not be merciful-" The beggar gang disciple raised his stick, as if he wanted to teach Lan Gu a lesson.

"Do you want to fight? You think I'm afraid of you-" When Lan Gu heard this, her nose was naturally crooked, and she couldn't wait to rush up immediately and give the "broken beggar" in front of her two slaps.

When Fang Zhongtian saw it, he felt that he couldn't control the scene, and he even felt that he shouldn't bring Lan Gu to this place......

"Stop!" Just as the spark was about to erupt, a loud voice stopped both sides in the middle of the corridor. The person who spoke was Ge Wei, and when he saw that the dignified beggar gang disciple actually made things difficult for an unarmed girl, he knew that he was ashamed, so he reprimanded him sharply.

"I'm sorry, helper......" The beggar disciple just now knew that he was excited just now, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake to Ge Wei.

Ge Wei nodded, and then turned his gaze back to Fang Zhongtian...... (To be continued......)
