There were people on all sides, and Ba Jin's wheel was involuntarily dragged forward by the flow of people, until it poured into the rudder of the beggar gang located in the north of Suzhou City. It is said to be a rudder, but in fact, it is seven or eight thatched huts surrounded by a wooden hall. Outside the house was a large open field, with some shabby sheds, and hundreds of beggars and disciples sat in these sheds. The inauguration ceremony of the new helmsman of the Suzhou branch was set up in this open space.

"Wudang sent the deacon of Jingle Palace, Yun Xiangzhen, to arrive-"

"The head disciple of the Emei faction, Baili Slender Woman, has arrived-"

"The Oriental Hero of the Book Sword Alliance has brought his junior sister Zhongsun Xian'er here-"

As the welcoming voices of the beggar disciples sounded, martial arts people from all factions walked into the venue one after another. The beggars sat cross-legged, crackling with their short sticks on the broken bowl in front of them.

With the tragic singing of "Who dares to be a man's righteousness, I am a beggar gang from all over the world" rose again, and the atmosphere of the whole scene suddenly rose. The heroes stood silent in this song, as if they were remembering the tens of thousands of beggar disciples who died in battle.

When the singing faded, a middle-aged beggar walked out of the wooden hall, this beggar was not good-looking, dressed in tattered linen clothes, his knees and navel stubbornly came out of the holes, his face was like old bark under his fluffy hair, and several yellow teeth were missing.

"Cloud rudder master! cloud rudder master!" the group of beggars shouted when they saw the beggar appear.

This person is Yunyang, the new rudder master of the Suzhou branch of the beggar gang, and when he pressed his hands, the voice of the beggars became quieter.

"Heroes, beggar brothers, today Yun took over as the helmsman of the Suzhou branch of the beggar gang, we are rough people, and we won't say polite words, you can come to give Yun this face, and later Yun will accompany him with wine, everyone will not return if they are not drunk!"

"Okay! Lord Cloud Helm is really refreshing!" The audience suddenly resounded one after another.

Yun Yang arched his hand towards everyone, and then said, "Today, my beggars helped the disciples of the Suzhou rudder to gather here, and they were congratulated by all the heroes, so Yun took this opportunity to say three important things. ”

The crowd immediately stopped applauding and waited for the rest to come. Ba Jinlun was afraid that the martial arts people who came to congratulate him would recognize him, so he secretly grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and wiped it on his face.

"The first thing is to explain the causes and consequences of Yun taking over the helmsman. According to the news sent back by the disciples of this gang from northern Xinjiang, at the beginning of this year, the Khan of the southern court of Tatar led troops to invade the border, and the war at the border was very tight. As a result, the Xiao gang leader of this gang dispatched capable disciples from each rudder to Yanmen Pass to support, and the Xia rudder master of the Suzhou rudder was one of them. Two months ago, the helmsman Xia had already taken more than a dozen good hands to the north, and appointed Yun to take care of the rudder affairs in Suzhou before leaving. ”

For a while, there was a buzz in the audience, and the beggars had been at the forefront of the confrontation with the Tatars since they established themselves, and even the general rudder was located in the northwest of Yanjing, not far from northern Xinjiang. The blood feud between the beggars and the Tatars is passed down from generation to generation, and the old hatred has not been eliminated, and new hatreds have been added.

"Hey, Xiao Wu," Xiao San was obviously impatient to listen to this, and mysteriously grabbed Ba Jinlun, "I'll tell you something." ”

Ba Jinlun was listening to the port, and felt that what the cloud rudder master said was much more interesting than what the village storyteller had said first.

"Someone sneaked into the ruined temple last night. Xiao San said quietly.

Ba Jinlun was shocked, could someone have discovered his identity?

I saw Xiao San take out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, "There must be a hero, seeing that our beggar disciples are having a hard time, and they have come to send charcoal in the snow." ”

He hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where did you come from, maybe Uncle Chen secretly stuffed it for you." ”

Xiao San's eyes widened, "Uncle Chen...... How do you know, Uncle Chen...... Where did he get the money?"

"Uncle Chen has been doing this for a long time, and I don't know how many tricks you haven't seen before, not just a few taels ......of silver," Ba Jinlun was saying, when he suddenly heard someone reading his name aloud.

"Chengdong, Li Dali, Chengnan, Wang Xiaowu, Chengxi, Zhao Qiankun, Chengbei, Jiangyu, this year's beggar gang has a bag of disciples to advance to the battle, and these four disciples will represent the four districts of Suzhou respectively!"

Slow down, slow down, what's the situation? Could it be that there is a brother named Wang Xiaowu in the south of the city. He looked towards the center of the field, and saw four elderly beggars standing beside Lord Yunrudder, one of whom was Uncle Chen, who was looking at him with a smile.

Ba Jinlun's heart was in turmoil, could it be that the second major thing that Lord Yun Helm said, was that this Laoshizi and a bag of disciples were promoted to the battle, and Uncle Chen also reported himself as a candidate?

Meow a mi, he really wanted to cry without tears, he thought that today he could take advantage of the beggars' inattention and sneak out of the city, who knew that this push and shove would be rolled up to the beggar gang rudder, and he had to go to the stage to fight. He peeked at Yunxiang Dao and Baili Xian who were sitting not far away, and couldn't help but sweat a little......

The beggar disciples in the field began to introduce the identities of the four candidates one by one:

"Zhang Dali, 28 years old in the east of the city, studied under Li Tiehan, the dart master of Suzhou Zhenwei Dart Bureau, 'Blue Wolf Stick', who is righteous, respects the old and loves the young, and often helps neighbors carry water and chop firewood. ”

"Chengnan Wang Xiaowu, twenty years old, studied under ...... Ominous, known as 'Righteous Bun Head', bold and generous, a few days ago, he personally captured one of the suspects in the Suzhou Yiqing Building flower picking case......"

Before these words fell, the field boiled when it was neutral, and countless eyes looked at the shed where the disciples of the beggar gang in the south of the city were sitting, all of them were asking who this Wang Xiaowu was.

Ba Jinlun stiffened, stood up and arched his hand towards everyone, and saw that the eyes of Yunxiang and Baili Xianxian fell on him like sharp swords. He didn't see it, pretended to be nonchalant, and sat down again.

Because the facts of this flower picking case and the people involved were too sensational, the audience talked about it non-stop, so that the origins of the two beggar disciples in the back disappeared into the noise and no one paid attention to it.

At this time, Baili Xianxian stood up and said: "Lord Yunrudder, since the junior sister was taken away by the demon king of Hehuan Valley, her whereabouts are still unknown, can you hand over that lewd thief to this sect today, and it is not too late for your gang to carry out this bag of disciple promotion battles." ”

Yun Yang frowned, and said: "Baili Woman, the whereabouts of Senior Sister Ling have always been the focus of the investigation of various factions in the martial arts in recent days. ”

After that, his tone changed, "However, it is also of great significance for me to help a bag of disciples advance to the battle today, and the Baili Woman will be a little restless, and after the promotion battle is over, the participants will try this lewd thief publicly, okay?"

This Yunyang was polite on the surface, but his words were categorical, although Baili Xianxian was worried about his junior sister, but after all, he was on other people's land, so he had to endure this breath for the time being.

Yun Yang turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, my beggar disciples have always put chivalry first, so when recommending candidates, the priority is the disciple's morality. But today, the border troubles are still going on, and my beggar disciples may go north to kill the enemy at any time, and this martial art is also a very important part. Therefore, these four disciples will have two rounds of martial arts competition, and the final winner will be promoted to a bag of disciples of the Beggar Gang. ”

Uncle Chen had already returned to the shed of the beggar gang disciples in the south of the city, and said to Ba Jinlun: "Little Wu, your opponent in the first round is Zhao Qiankun from the west of the city. ”

Ba Jinlun was caught off guard and couldn't help asking, "Chen ...... Uncle Chen, what do you mean by this bag of disciples?"

"Also, you've only been in the gang for a short time, so I haven't had time to tell you about that. Uncle Chen said.

Xiao San excitedly grabbed Ba Jinlun's sleeve: "Little Wu, the disciples of the Beggar Gang are all over the world, but only when they become a bag of disciples can they be regarded as the official members of the Beggar Gang, and even I am only a supernumerary now!"

Uncle Chen said: "Yes, only the beggar gang officially helps the people, and only the beggar gang has the opportunity to learn my beggar gang's Zhen faction magic skills 'Dog Fighting Stick Method' and 'Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending', and the rest are either bringing art into the gang, or helping the disciples to teach each other martial arts." Therefore, Xiao Wu, you can participate in the Bag of Disciple Promotion Battle today, which can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Is the more bags there are for the beggar disciples, the more powerful they are?" he asked.

"That's not necessarily, my beggar disciple is promoted, mainly based on the character of the gang and the merits he has made for the beggar gang, and martial arts are secondary. Our beggar gang has a total of sixteen rudders in Great Xia, and the rudder masters are basically from five bags of disciples to seven bags of disciples. And Eight Bags and Nine Bags are already elders in the beggar gang, with a total of eight Eight Bags Elders, as well as three Nine Bags Elders in law enforcement, transmission of gong, and holding the baton. As for our Xiao gang leader, he is a big hero and a big hero admired by the world. Uncle Chen said.

Only then did Ba Jinlun remember that Xiao San seemed to have said before that Uncle Chen was a three-bag disciple. He looked at Uncle Chen, and sure enough, he saw three cloth bags tied around Uncle Chen's waist, and he looked at the Yun Rudder Lord, who had four cloth bags around his waist and a big cloth bag behind his back.

"Xiao Wu, you have to fight for your breath, this time Uncle Chen recommended you despite public opinion, and it also shows that you have some internal skills, which is rare in ordinary gangs. ”

Ba Jinlun couldn't cry or laugh for a while, Uncle Chen was kind, but he wanted to slip away today, but he couldn't.

"Go, Uncle Chen is optimistic about you!" Uncle Chen pushed him, Ba Jinlun was reluctant here, but Zhao Qiankun over there was already gearing up and standing in the venue waiting.
