Chapter Ninety-Four: The Lake and Mountain Conference (Part II)
I saw thirty or forty people coming out of the gap in the crowd, and the first one was Gongsun Wuji, who had led the crowd to Longhu Mountain to ask for guilt.
Gongsun Wuji waited for everyone to sit down before sitting down, and said loudly: "Brothers, please, thank you for not giving up, come to the meeting, the face of the surname Gongsun is shining, and my heart is grateful." ”
A man said with a smile: "Where did Mr. Gongsun say, except for Fu Daxia of the Diancang faction, Liu Daxia, Song Gang leader of the Luofu Gang, Sun Daochang of Danxiamen, and Wu Sanxia of Ailao Mountain, which of the rest of you is not our own brother of Wuhu, why bother to say the word gratitude." ”
Another man said with a smile: "Gang Master Lu said this job well, but he is only half right. ”
First, a man was suspicious: "I don't know which half of it is wrong? ”
The Song gang leader smiled and said: "It's true that my four factions are not brothers of the Five Lakes, but my four factions and the brothers of the Five Lakes work together and share the same hatred, then we are our own people." ”
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Song said yes!", he was originally called the Song gang leader, but now he is called Brother Song, which naturally treats him as his own. Those present also echoed the voice.
Lin Gongyu and the three of them hid in the corner, unable to see who those people were, but when they heard the word "Five Lakes", they couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The five lakes are naturally Dongting Lake, Honghu Lake, Poyang Lake, Chaohu Lake, and Taihu Lake along the Yangtze River. Speaking of sects in the martial arts, the three factions of Shanglin, Shangqing, and Emei are the first, and the factions of Kunlun, Huashan, and Qingcheng are secondary, but if there are many people, I am afraid that no one can compare to this "Five Lakes Brothers".
These people are either mountains or villages, or islands or villages, some are robbers in the green forest, some are doing gang business, and in recent years they have gradually interacted with each other, and after a long time, although they have not formed an alliance, they have faintly become a trend. Since the rivers and lakes to bully the small, bullying the weak is a common thing, there are many small gangs and small factions in the five lakes, the rabble is not a few, these people encounter danger when walking the rivers and lakes, mention the name of the five lakes often turn danger into a disaster, and gradually the five lakes brothers four words will spread.
In the past few years, Lin Gongyu has often heard the senior brothers and the master talk about the things between the five lakes, and after hearing a lot, he remembered it in his heart, and he didn't want to meet him today, but he didn't know why these people gathered here for.
Gongsun Wuji waited for everyone's voices to settle down and said, "What the two of you said is good. Since it is a matter of my five lakes and four factions, I might as well say it directly. We are gathered here today for a common enemy, for more than a year, more than 40 of my brothers who have a leading face in the five lakes have died, and many disciples of the four factions have been killed and wounded, but we are slaughtered by others, and we are helpless, do we have to wait until the enemy kills us all?"
Suddenly, one person said: "What Mr. Gongsun said is good, I don't know what Mr. Gongsun thinks?"
Lin Gongyu heard this person's voice speak crisp and loud, and he didn't seem to be very old, but he couldn't see his face, and he didn't know who it was.
Gongsun Wuji said: "Where is there any high opinion? I just have the opportunity to say it, and give it to the owner of the island, the owner of the village, and the head of the gang for details." ”
The man said: "Mr. Gongsun is modest, my brothers from the five lakes who don't know that Mr. Gongsun is strong in martial arts and resourceful, and Mr. Casual words must also be high-minded." ”
Xue Ling listened to this person and Gongsun Wuji, as if he was singing on the stage, and snorted at Lin Gongyu.
I only heard Gongsun Wuji say: "Most of the brothers present today have relatives and friends who died unexpectedly, even if they are safe for the time being, who dares to guarantee that that person will not come to provoke and kill people tomorrow? A few months ago, Lao Yu led some brothers to Longhu Mountain and saw Lingxu Zhenren, if it were changed to today, I am afraid that there are more than those people who go up the mountain." What he meant was that in the past few months, another brother has been killed, and those who had stood by and watched have now become victims.
The man from before said, "If this continues, won't our brothers from the Five Lakes all be able to escape death?"
Gongsun Wuji said: "This is a good statement, if we each do our own thing and sweep the snow in front of the door, it will be like killing the neck." This thief's martial arts are extremely high, and his traces are difficult to find, but even if he has great skills, he can fight any of us, can he still fight my five lakes?"
An old man in his fifties said: "I think everyone here knows what Mr. Gongsun said. But although my five lakes are not aligned, they are already one, and they are not killed when they are said to be killed?"
Gongsun Wuji saw that the person who spoke was Qian Jing'an, the head of the Miluo faction, and he was also a little famous in the rivers and lakes, and Zhengse said: "What the head of Qian said is different, although our five lakes are one, although we also call ourselves brothers of the five lakes when we walk the rivers and lakes, the internal force is a plate of scattered sand, each doing its own thing, just like being brutalized by thieves this time, each dealing with it, but at the moment I don't even know who the enemy is, what else to talk about revenge? Let other sects and other factions see it, we can only laugh at our Wuhu martial arts for being weak and incompetent." ”
Qian Jingan said: "Then according to what Mr. Gongsun said, what should I do?"
Gongsun Wuji said: "If our Wuhu brothers and the four factions form an alliance and choose a person with both ability and political integrity to give orders, then there will be no disadvantage, not to mention avenging the dead brothers, even if they occupy a place in the lake in the future and sit on an equal footing with the Shaolin Shangqing Emei factions, it is not impossible." ”
As soon as he said this, it caused a commotion in the crowd. Some said: "This is a great thing, and it will be justified when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future and talk about the five lakes." Some said, "Elect a person who gives orders?" What about the leaders of the original gangs and factions?"
Everyone kept talking about each word, but the leaders of the center were collectively silent, and they were all thinking in their hearts.
Gongsun Wuji handed a color to the person who had previously been with him, and the man understood, got up and said, "What Mr. Gongsun said is right, dare to ask you, who can avenge the dead relatives and friends by himself? Who can resist the thieves alone to pick quarrels and provoke trouble?" Everyone was silent in their hearts, but as the saying goes, it was better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, thinking that he was the master of a gang or a village, but after forming an alliance, he had to obey the orders of the alliance leader, and he was not willing to do so anyway, but if he did not form an alliance, maybe the next person to be killed would be himself, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Lin Gongyu whispered to Xue Ling: "Have you seen the owner of the three villages in the north and south?"
Xue Ling said: "It's too far away to be seen, and I think it's already here." They originally wanted to subdue these people for the Royal Dragon Villa, but they didn't expect Gongsun Wuji to also want to subdue them, and their business was done, so there was a lot of excitement to see now!"
Lin Gongyu said: "The poison in Su Sanniang's hand, how are they going to use it?"
Xue Ling said: "There are many ways to poison so many people, and poisoning so many people at the same time can only be placed in the wine and food, maybe someone will send the wine and food after a while." ”
Lin Gongyu thought for a while, looked at Xue Ling and said, "They put poison in the wine and food, if someone doesn't eat it, won't it poison him?"
Xue Ling said: "Brother Lin, you are too honest, look at who these people are?"
Lin Gongyu said: "They are all people in the martial arts!" But I don't know why Xue Ling asked.
