Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Beggar Gang Fights and Wants to Seize the Treasure Map
The little girl slowly let go of the palm that was covering Min Tian's mouth, and then leaned in front of Min Tian and said, "This is the beggar head of our current beggar gang, you can see the golden bowl he is holding in his hand! Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Min Tian quietly pointed to the four men around the beggar, the little girl put her finger to her lips, and Min Tian did not ask any more. I saw that these four big men surrounded the beggar's head, and one of the lame men with not very good legs and feet yelled at the beggar's head: "Jin Gang Master, now is the time for our beggar gang to rise to martial arts, and with this Nine Cloud Map, we can strengthen the gang and get the support of the imperial court." A man next to him said, "Elder Lei, you mean to let us be the eagle dogs of the imperial court, and we will not be in the same league as you." Don't think that we don't know about you and the prefect of Xi'an. Suddenly, this Elder Lei was furious: "Then we can't join the Mongols like Elder Feng?" I only heard the beggar gang leader in the middle, Elder Jin, was furious: "Have you taken me seriously! Our beggar gang will not become the eagle dog of the imperial court, let alone cause a bloody storm in the martial arts." The other two elders who were hiding on the side were silent, and the helper pushed the man who was still neatly dressed and asked, "Elder Ma, what do you see?"
The little girl tugged at Min Tian's arm at this time, and turned around to return the way she came. At this time, suddenly, at this time, the elder next to Elder Ma raised the token in his hand and said: "This is a pass given to me by the Jurchen Great Khan Nurhachi, he is willing to form an alliance with my beggar gang, and I lead the brothers of the Liumen to go away with an alliance." Elder Lei shouted: "Old Yang, you have been in the Jiangnan area all the year round, and you are not familiar with the situation in the north, how can you get involved with the Jurchens?" Seeing that the four of them had different intentions, the leader of the Jin Gang was not easy to speak, so he had to raise the golden bowl in his hand and said: "It is expensive to beg for food, and there are many branches and leaves for the rudder of the line." I didn't care about the affairs of the court, just to protect the Taiping family. Elder Lei and Elder Feng snorted, and both lowered their heads and didn't say anything more, but Lao Yang immediately continued: "Gang leader think about the Jurchens again, although they are not very powerful, but now the imperial court has long been like an ant's den, and the current situation is turbulent, why don't we abandon the secret and turn to the light?" The Jin gang leader was furious: "Which Ming did you vote for? Today's saint is still wise, except for eunuchs, exempt from taxes, and sent to forced labor, we should help the national fortune in this way, rather than like a plate of scattered sand." Elder Ma raised his hand and said, "I am willing to lead the beggars to help the disciples of the 'reasonable and reasonable' to be dispatched by the gang leader." The other three elders still disagreed.
Elder Yang accepted the token given by the Jurchen Han, turned to everyone and said, "I heard that the rumored Nine Cloud Atlas has entered our Xi'an City, and it is also the dowry of Emperor Ming's concubine. Before the words fell, the beggars and disciples were bustling and arguing. The Jin gang leader shouted loudly: "I called everyone over today to discuss this matter. At this time, Elder Lei and Elder Yang responded to the helper's response very in unison, Elder Ma moved to the side of the helper, and Elder Feng reported back to the Jin Gang Leader: "I heard from the prefect that this Jiuyun Diagram stone wall has already been transported to the Killing Tiger's Mouth, and it is not with us, and the dowry has not seen the Jiuyun Map, only some jewelry and antiques. The Jin gang leader ordered: "No matter what, we will sneak into the prefect tonight, if there is really a Nine Clouds map, we can't let the prefect of Xi'an take it." Elder Lei was puzzled: "If the prefect takes it, he will definitely present it to the Holy Lord, but it will save us trouble?" Why do you have to go through the hands of the beggars?" The Jin gang leader smiled, held the golden bowl in his left hand, and put his right hand behind him: "Because as far as I know, Yin Shen, the incorruptible and fair Xi'an prefect in everyone's eyes, but he doesn't do things before people do things later." He had already invited Prince Mahamu and his entourage to the mansion. Elder Lei angrily took out the pipe pinned to his waist and tapped the dead tree next to him: "This old guy never told me about this. The Jin Gang Master waved his hand and said, "This doesn't matter, because it is also what the disciples of the Beggar Gang in the city saw with their own eyes just now." "Min Tian suddenly brightened, if Min Tian relied on his own strength and then used the beggar gang to ignite the flames to rescue General Le Si and the Lord of the Begonia Palace, wouldn't it be wonderful.
The little girl took a nap listening to the rambling words of the elders, and accidentally slipped on the soles of her feet, and her body flashed out of the weeds. The Jin gang leader handed over his golden bowl to the disciple next to him, and ran to help the little girl up. Suddenly, Elder Ma took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him in the back of the heart while he was unprepared. The Jin gang leader spurted blood and fell to the ground, killing him instantly. Frightened, Elder Feng, Elder Lei, and Elder Yang around him hurriedly stood together, took out their weapons, pointed at Elder Ma, and said, "Why did you kill the gang leader!" The little girl also cried when she saw her grandfather fall to the ground.
At this time, I only heard a stern voice in the wind: "The mage is nameless." Before the sound of the wind fell, the golden bowl in the hand of the little beggar beside the helper had been taken away, and Elder Ma sighed: "What a powerful light skill, it has come and gone without a trace." The little girl threw herself at her grandfather, who was lying on the ground and spurting blood, hugged her and cried.
Elder Lei's right hand touched the pipe behind him, and with the other hand he held the little girl's shoulder to help her up, Elder Feng shouted, "Elder Ma, we have no helper now, and everyone has seen you kill the helper." You can't rebel!" Elder Ma waved the poisonous dagger in his hand and said with a smile: "I have long been dissatisfied with this old man surnamed Jin, always weighing the pros and cons, and now the situation is clear at a glance, and the beggar gang should be able to live there." Elder Lei picked up the little girl and flashed aside: "The Jin Gang Master is deceased, and no one has our Beggar Gang token, so at this moment, the only way to do this is to take back our Beggar Gang Leader's token from that monk thief first, and then think about it in the long run." Elder Ma laughed and said, "If it is about the talent of the disciples of the Beggar Gang, none of you can compare to the disciples under me. They are proficient in medicine, divination, stars, physiognomy, geography, calligraphy, painting, chess, storytelling, playing words, duo, recruitment, flower drums, singing and other skills, who of you dares to stand up and openly fight against me!" Elder Feng pointed at Elder Ma with the gourd silk in his hand and said, "Little old man, don't be complacent, let's see which of us finds the token first." Seeing that the group was about to disperse, he also promised Granny Meng not to cause trouble and leave quickly, so she had to hide in the grass and did not rush out.
Elder Lei pointed to the corpse of the Jin Gang Leader and said, "Today, I will temporarily bury the corpse of the Gang Leader in this ruined temple, and the news of Elder Ma's killing of the Jin Gang Leader must not be spread. Elder Feng and Elder Yang nodded in acquiescence, and Elder Ma wrapped the dagger in a coarse cloth and placed it in a dark box and handed it to the other disciples behind him.
The four elders each had a ghost in their hearts, and no one knew that the rivers and lakes were about to change dramatically, and the situation in Mongolia, the Jurchens, and the Ming Dynasty would be divided again. Min Tian covered his whole body with a black cloak, hiding in the grass and not moving, only showing his two eyes, he clearly remembered the look in the little girl's eyes when she left, there was no fear, only endless revenge and fearlessness.
When all the people around him dispersed, Min Tian patted the weeds on his body and jumped out of the grass, and then walked to the mound where the Jin Gang Master was buried and took a look, thinking in his heart: I didn't expect this Jin Gang Master with strong martial arts to be killed by the elders of his own sect, it was really unjustly killed. What's more, if he dies before this major event is completed, who will take care of his granddaughter for him. Thinking of the little beggar girl just now, Min Tian's heart suddenly became sad, and when he saw that there was a clay man in this ruined temple, he walked forward and knelt down and bowed his head three times. When I raised my eyes again, I saw a golden bowl placed under the stone candlestick, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be the object of the gold gang leader who had just died. Min Tian slowly took it out, really startled. patted his chest and said, "Someone must have deceived me just now, otherwise how could there be an echo in this wind, and there is no trace of half of the people." Expecting that the man with this layout would definitely return here again and take the golden bowl, he hurriedly took the golden bowl into his arms and jumped to the house to escape from the land of right and wrong.
Min Tian returned to the city gate under the big tree, but he didn't see Le Lai's carriage, nor did he see Granny Meng, and thought about it: Oops! Didn't they all invite him to the Xi'an prefect, but I heard the four elders say just now that the prefect here is still a bad person in the eyes of most of the beggar disciples, but Elder Lei is determined to stand up to this Xi'an prefect Yin Shen. When Min Tian was helpless, he suddenly remembered that Granny Meng had said that if she couldn't be found, she could go to the small inn in the city to stay for the time being. Seeing that there was only a few pennies left in his arms, where was there enough money for the inn, Min Tian dispelled this eye-catching thought, and besides, there were many masters and beggar disciples in the city, so it was really inconvenient for them to see him. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw the little beggar who stole his money bag during the day, and Min Tian muttered in his heart: No! I saw this young man with bundled hair, wearing a satin waist with an ancient jade pendant, looking magnificent, but there was no attendant by his side.
The little young master stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Yin Linglong, what is your name?" Min Tian pushed the little young master's shoulder and looked disdainfully: "Go away! I never make friends with bandits!" The little young master suddenly had no joy on his face, and said coldly with no expression: "Do you know who this son is?" Min Tian replied: "Of course! You must be the son of a merchant in Xi'an City!" The little young master said strangely, and his face laughed again: "Yes, yes, I am the eldest young master of the rich businessman Yin Boss here!" Min Tian raised his head and sneered: "What's the matter, does the eldest prince still have a brother, or a brother and sister?" Yin Linglong smiled and said: "The family has a very big foundation, and there is a younger sister to be in the boudoir. Min Tian pulled the cloak even lower and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you today, and I will leave!"
But this little young master is not the master of good deeds, and with a clever move, he stole the treasure hidden in Min Tian's arms, and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are the thief!
