Chapter 42: The Beggar Gang Splits into Two Factions
Although Yang Ming has become the protector of the Longyou Metropolitan Protectorate, in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a person in the rivers and lakes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that the ignorant beggar who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and didn't even know that the Longyou Protectorate had nothing to do with the Song Imperial Court, dared to call himself [Dog Official], Yang Ming's right hand immediately grasped the hilt of Ziwei's soft sword.
But the next moment, Yang Ming took a deep breath and released the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
The ignorant beggar just scolded himself for a sentence [dog official], of course, it is a crime that does not lead to death.
And he is still the one who supports Qiao Feng to continue to serve as the leader of the beggar gang, so for the sake of Qiao Feng Qiao Daxia's face, it is okay to spare the life of that ignorant beggar.
There were more than 300 beggar gang disciples in the apricot forest, and more than 200 supported Qiao Feng to continue to serve as the leader of the beggar gang at this time.
Lu Zhang, the elder of the Gong Gong, is old and has low martial arts, so he has always been soft-spoken in the beggar gang.
Law enforcement elder Bai Shijing's martial arts reputation is second only to the gang leader and deputy gang leader, but it is a pity that he is now guilty of a major crime and cannot protect himself.
Among the four elders of Song Xi, Chen and Wu, there were three elders who supported Qiao Feng.
Elder Song suddenly shouted loudly.
"The Khitans are extremely vicious, brutal and vicious. Qiao's gang leader is a hero of great benevolence and righteousness. When we were against him, he was willing to shed his blood by the sword for us, and forgave us the great sin of betrayal. What will happen to the Khitans?"
Elder Xu immediately said.
"He has been raised and taught by Shaolin monks and Wang Gang Leader since he was a child, and has changed the murderous habits of the Khitan people. ”
"Since his temperament has changed, he is not a bad person, what's wrong with being our gang leader again? I see that there is no one in this gang who can match his hero. Others want to be the helper, but I'm afraid that my surname Song will not be convinced. ”
Among the disciples of the Beggar Gang, they have the same thoughts as Elder Song. There are a lot of people.
Qiao Feng's kindness was in the hearts of the people, and just based on the dictation and written evidence of a few people, he was removed from the position of helper, and many of the helpers who had always been loyal to him were greatly dissatisfied.
Elder Xi said loudly.
"Whoever wants to follow the leader of Qiao's gang, stand with me on this side. ”
He pulled Elder Song with his left hand and Elder Wu with his right hand. Walked to the east head.
The three helmsmen who followed the Daren rudder, Daxin rudder, and Dayi rudder also went to the east.
As soon as the helmsman of the three-point rudder stood over, their subordinates followed suit.
Quan Guanqing, Elder Chen, Elder Chuangong, and the helmsman of Dayong Dividing the Rudder remained in place.
As a result, the beggar gang was divided into two factions, about fifty percent of those who stood at the east head, about thirty percent of those who stayed in place, and the rest of the gang were hesitant, not knowing whose idea was to listen.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing that Elder Chen Guyan, who had shed blood for him, stayed in place, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh.
"Gang Leader Joe, Gang Leader Joe! Your blood is still not dry. This Elder Chen took the lead in opposing you as the leader of the gang, is it worth it for you to shed blood for him just now?"
Even if Chen Guyan was thick-skinned, he was named by Yang Ming at this time, and he turned around in shame, not daring to make eye contact with Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng smiled and said indifferently.
"Although Elder Chen is at odds with me, he is still thinking about this gang! Even if I know that he will turn against me, I will still shed blood for him. ”
"It's a pity that you treat others as brothers. Others treat you as an enemy!"
Yang Ming sighed and shook his head, then looked at Bai Shijing who was kneeling on the ground and said.
"Elder Bai. Although you are now guilty of crimes, you are still the law enforcement elder of the beggar gang! Now that the beggar gang is divided into two factions, do you support or oppose the Qiao gang leader?"
"Gang Leader Qiao is benevolent and righteous, and has made a lot of contributions to the gang, and Bai Someone naturally supports Gang Leader Qiao. ”
After Bai Shijing finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the side of the three elders, Song, Xi, and Wu.
Originally, there were still two percent of the beggars who didn't know which side to support. At this time, with the law enforcement elder Bai Shijing taking the lead, they all stood in the east.
Looking at it, there are seventy percent of the beggar gang disciples who support Qiao Feng's continued role as the gang leader, and only thirty percent oppose it.
Among the six elders, only Elder Chuangong and Elder Chen were opposed.
Qiao Feng suddenly said loudly.
"This beggar gang leader. I made a mistake......"
Elder Song interjected.
"Helper, don't be discouraged......
Qiao Feng shook his head and said.
"I'm not discouraged. The beggar gang is the number one gang in the rivers and lakes, and it is very prestigious, and who in the martial arts does not respect it? If it is cannibalism, will it not teach others to laugh and crook their mouths?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Ming's mouth and said teasingly.
"Gang Leader Qiao's words are very wrong! A group of stinky beggars is a rabble of 100,000 people, where is it worthy of admiration? Just like I, Yang Ming, admires the Beggar Gang, and that's because the Beggar Gang has you, the Qiao Gang Leader! If the Qiao Gang Leader no longer serves as the leader of the Beggar Gang, then I will kill all the disciples of the Beggar Gang in the apricot forest now. ”
Although these words were threatening Qiao Feng and the beggar gang, they were also good intentions to Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng said gratefully.
Just for the sake of the reputation of my beggar gang for hundreds of years, Qiao really can't be the leader of the gang anymore. ”
Now that the Beggar Gang has no candidate to succeed the leader, you are leaving the Beggar Gang now to really ruin the Beggar Gang's reputation for hundreds of years. ”
Qiao Feng is only thirty-one years old this year, and it is when he is young and strong, so he naturally will not cultivate a disciple as the heir to the gang leader.
Ma Dayuan, the deputy gang leader, is the candidate to replace Qiao Feng as the new gang leader, but unfortunately Ma Dayuan is dead, if Qiao Feng leaves the beggar gang at this time, the beggar gang will become a laughing stock on the rivers and lakes without a leader.
In fact, Qiao Feng could also think of this, but he suddenly knew the truth of his life experience, and he didn't want to face the beggars for a while.
"Qiao Gang Leader doesn't want to be the leader of the Beggar Gang anymore, I want to kill the beggar gang in the apricot forest, naturally it has nothing to do with you! If you want to save these people, then continue to be the gang leader, don't let down the seventy percent of the beggar gang disciples who support you here." ”
"But...... Qiao doesn't want to kill each other because of me!"
"Shaolin Temple is Wulin Taishan Beidou, and there are still North Shaolin and South Shaolin! There are a large number of disciples of the beggar gang, since you have different opinions at the moment, it is better to divide it into two factions, one is the Central Plains beggar gang, and the Qiao gang leader serves as the gang leader! The other is the Jiangnan beggar gang. The conspiracy of the whole crown and the helmsman served as the leader. ”
After Yang Ming's words were finished, Elder Song was the first to respond.
"Helper! If this is the protector of the capital, I think it is the best of both worlds! The land south of the Yangtze River is not connected to the Liao State and the Western Xia, so let them go to live a peaceful life. The gang leader returned to the Central Plains with us, and continued to lead his brothers to defend the Great Song Dynasty against the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms. ”
Elder Xi, Elder Wu, and the disciples of the Beggar Gang who supported Qiao Feng responded to their support.
Qiao Feng looked at Yang Ming with an embarrassed expression. Yang Ming showed a somewhat hideous sneer.
"If Gang Leader Qiao refuses, do I really dare not kill all the beggar gang disciples in the Apricot Forest? Or does Gang Leader Qiao think you can stop me?"
Although Qiao Feng was extremely confident in his martial arts, he also knew that if Yang Ming wanted to kill someone, he couldn't stop it with his martial arts.
"Since all the brothers and most of them are warm, then I, Qiao Feng, will be the leader of the Central Plains Beggars Gang. ”
At this time, I suddenly heard a person in the northwest corner of the gloomy and sad way.
"The beggars made an appointment to meet in Huishan, but they didn't break the contract, they all hid here, hehehe. Ridiculous, ridiculous. ”
I heard the horn whining in the distance, followed by the faint sound of a large group of horses' hooves coming from miles away.
As the horse's hoofs approached, suddenly the horn sounded three times, and the eight horses divided into two rows and rushed into the forest.
The occupants of the eight horses were armed with spears and a small flag tied to their heads.
The spearhead was shining, and you could vaguely see that the four small flags on the left were embroidered with the two white characters of [Xixia], and the west of the right was embroidered with the two white characters of [Helian]. There is also a Western Xia script on the flag.
Then eight horses divided into two rows and galloped into the forest.
Immediately, the four of them blew the trumpet. Four people beat the drums.
After the trumpeter and drummer, eight Western Xia warriors entered.
The eight warriors stood on the left and right, and slowly walked into the apricot forest on horseback.
Immediately, the passenger was wearing a red brocade robe, thirty-four or five years old, with a hooked nose and a beard.
He was followed by a man with an extremely tall body and a huge nose, who shouted as soon as he entered the forest.
"The general of the Western Xia State has arrived. The leader of the beggar gang stepped forward to pay a visit. ”
"What is Helian Tieshu, and is he worthy of letting the Qiao gang leader visit him?"
Yang Ming jumped with a kick on his feet, and in a flash of his figure, he pounced in front of Helian Tieshu, and kicked Helian Tieshu off the horse's back with his right foot.
The man with a huge nose pulled out a long knife and was about to slash at Yang Ming, with a bang. Yang Ming stood on Helian Tieshu's horse and pulled out the crape myrtle soft sword, and a purple-red sword qi slashed at the neck of the big-nosed man.
After the big-nosed man's neck spurted blood and fell to the ground, Helian Tieshu also saw Yang Ming's face clearly, and said with a look of horror on his face.
"Are you...... You...... Why are you here......? The villain Helian Tieshu meets Dadu Hu!"
"Marshal Helian is really a handsome man who knows the times, no wonder he was given the title of prince by the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom!"
Seeing Helian Tieshu so knowledgeable, Yang Ming originally wanted to kill him with a sword, but at this time, he withdrew the Ziwei soft sword from the scabbard.
"Marshal Helian has just arrived here, and he must not have known that the beggar gang has been split into the Central Plains Beggar Gang and the Jiangnan Beggar Gang! Since you Xixia Yipintang have come all the way to Jiangnan, let's discuss things with the Quanguan Qingquan gang leader of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang first. ”
Now the state of Western Xia is in danger, and only a thunderous blow from the Longyou Protectorate can destroy the Western Xia.
Yang Ming is a killer with extremely high martial arts, and even Li Qiushui, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, is also jealous.
I didn't expect to meet Yang Ming, a bad star here, Helian Tieshu could only do what Yang Ming said in addition to complaining in his heart, so as not to anger Yang Ming and lose his life here.
"Since it is the order of the Great Protector, Helian Tieshu should obey it! We, the Xixia Yipintang, have made a covenant with the beggar gang to make a covenant with Huishan, so naturally we want to compare ourselves in martial arts. Li Yanzong, you go and try the martial arts of this Jiangnan beggar gang leader. ”
"Yes!"
A Western Xia warrior answered, jumped up from the horse and landed in front of Quan Guanqing, it was Li Yanzong, who was under the alias of Murong Fu.
Murong Fu is still working for the Xixia Yipintang, although it is unexpected, but it is reasonable.
Qiao Feng frowned, obviously quite dissatisfied with Murong Fu.
At this time, the beggar gang had just split, and Qiao Feng's appointment as the leader of the Central Plains beggar gang was naturally unconvinced, but Quan Guanqing's appointment as the leader of the Jiangnan beggar gang was just the words of Yang Ming's family.
"Li Yanzong of Xixia Yipintang, please teach the whole master!"
Hearing Murong Fu's challenge, Quan Guanqing just hesitated for a moment and walked in front of Murong Fu.
Although he, the leader of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang, is not rightly named, if he can defeat the master of Xixia Yipintang, he will be able to get the support of all the gangs of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang and become the leader of the gang on an equal footing with Qiao Feng.
"Jiangnan beggars gang Quan Guanqing, please give me advice!"
After Quan Guanqing bowed his hand, he took the lead and pulled out his long sword and stabbed at Murong Fu.
If it was about wisdom, Quan Guanqing was naturally better than the four elders of Song Xi, Chen and Wu.
But in terms of martial arts, Quan Guanqing barely reached the realm of a first-class master.
Seeing Quan Guanqing swinging his sword to attack, his whole body was full of flaws, Murong Fu drew his sword forward, used his long sword to entangle with Quan Guanqing's long sword, and then swung his left palm to slap Quan Guanqing's chest.
Quan Guanqing raised his left palm in front of his chest.
Bang!
Murong Fu's left palm pressed against Quan Guanqing's left hand and slapped on his chest, and under the heavy blow of his powerful palm, Quan Guanqing's body flew out upside down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Quan Guanqing's mouth.
Bang Bang Bang -
When Quan Guanqing rolled to the ground in embarrassment, Yang Ming sneered and applauded.
"Quan Guanqing, Quan Guanqing! With your martial arts, you can't even catch this Li Yanzong's move, and you are also worthy of being the leader of the beggar gang? Fortunately, you are only the leader of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang now, if you are the leader of the Central Plains Beggar Gang, then the reputation of the Beggar Gang for hundreds of years has been lost by you. ”
After Quan Guanqing got up from the ground, he said with an earthy face.
"I am all crowned with low martial arts, how can I take on the responsibility of the gang leader! The gang leader of the Jiangnan Beggars Gang...... It's not me, I'm just the helmsman of the Great Wisdom Divider. ”
"Since the helmsman still has self-knowledge, it seems that the gang leader of this Jiangnan beggar gang is going to choose another merit! Elder Chen Guyan Chen, with your martial arts and wolf's heart, I think you should be able to catch this Li Yanzong's three moves and two styles. ”
After Yang Ming's words were finished, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Chen Guyan.
Although Yang Ming deliberately humiliated, Chen Guyan couldn't attack at this time, so he could only lower his head and say.
"I, Chen Guyan, have no virtue and incompetence, low martial arts, and can't afford to be the leader!"
"Master Quanru and Elder Chen shirk it like this, do they want Elder Gong to serve as the gang leader of the Jiangnan Beggars Gang?"
With Yang Ming's words, Murong Fu's cold gaze fell on Elder Chuangong.
Although Li Yanzong is only Murong Fu's pseudonym, the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, which can suppress the elders of the Beggar Gang and the helmsmen from holding their heads up, and can also satisfy Murong Fu's ambition to compete with Qiao Feng.
"I can't! I can't! The old man can't afford to help the master!"
Elder Chuangong dodged Murong Fu's gaze, and suddenly looked at Qiao Feng and said.
"Qiao Gang Leader! Qiao Gang Leader! The Huishan Covenant was made between you and Xixia Yipintang, as the leader of the gang, you have to be the master of the brothers!"
In fact, Qiao Feng has long wanted to stand up for the people of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang, but the Jiangnan Beggar Gang is all against him, and it is not good to act for them after all.
Hearing Elder Chuangong's plea, Qiao Feng finally didn't hesitate anymore and jumped in front of Murong Fu.
Looking at Qiao Feng's familiar back, which seemed to be able to block all the wind and rain, Elder Chuangong, Quan Guanqing, and Chen Guyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Among the disciples of the Jiangnan Beggars Gang, I don't know who shouted [Qiao Gang Master], and then everyone shouted together.
"Joe Gang Leader!
"Joe Gang Leader!
There are some things that are only known after they are lost.
Even the disciples of the Jiangnan Beggar Gang understood at this time that the prestige of the Beggar Gang in the rivers and lakes has been growing in the past ten years, and the various sects and even the Shaolin Temple have not been able to raise their heads, not by relying on the conspiracy of the whole helmsman, not by the wolf's heart and lungs of Elder Chen, nor by the lack of assertiveness of the elders of the Gong Gong, but the invincible martial arts of Qiao Feng Qiao's gang leader.
