――――

"You mean......" Chen Pojun's face changed slightly when he heard this, "But how could we leak the news without warning?"

"Without warning?" Shen Du glanced at him, "I can't see it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Have you ever heard of the Wu family's son's broken leg?"

Chen Pojun thought about it, then nodded and said, "I've heard a little." ”

"Master Wu has always had a son, just such a lone seedling, how spoiled he is on weekdays. But this time his son was broken by someone, he didn't say anything, and it is said that he was scolded. Shen Du said slowly, "And the famous Wu Jiajun didn't even seek revenge this time, it seems that he wants to change his past mistakes and buy a lot of classics to study." ”

"What do you mean...... The Wu family was blackmailed, and then leaked the news?"

Shen Du pondered for a moment, and then said: "Even if it is not the Wu family, the news of the doubling of the price of bluestone should have leaked out. Otherwise, the two gang leaders are both masters of martial arts, and there is absolutely no reason to encounter accidents at the same time. ”

As if remembering something, he suddenly asked, "What's going on in the gang now?"

Chen Pojun shook his head: "Only me and several other hall masters know about this matter, and the news has not spread yet." There have been no major events in the past few days, and it is still calm as usual on the bright side. ”

"How long has he been missing?"

"At least five days. Chen Pojun said in a deep voice.

Shen Du frowned slightly, and said, "The gang leader suddenly disappeared, and there has been no news for a few days...... In this way, I am afraid that some people will have some other thoughts. ”

"Fang Manzi has already begun to give orders on his behalf, if there is no news from the helper, he will most likely have to be the helper. Chen Pojun snorted and said.

Shen Du smiled slightly and asked, "Then you don't have any ideas?"

When Chen Pojun heard this, he was immediately silent.

Shen Du also didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and just like that passed for a moment.

"Yes. ”

Chen Pojun's eyes flashed, he suddenly raised his head, and said firmly, with a hint of strange color in the depths of his eyes: "It is true that the Qiu Gang Leader has no great talents, more than enough to keep and not enough to enterprising, but after all, I am not thin, and I can't turn my back." I can't bear that barbarian, if the gang leader really encounters an accident, I will definitely have to compete with the other Fang Hu. ”

This answer did not exceed Shen Du's expectations, and he nodded as usual.

"It's not hard for you to compete for the position of the leader of the gang. ”

"Isn't it difficult?" Chen Pojun said in astonishment.

......

Qingshi County, Hongbang Mansion, Juyi Hall.

In the spacious room, there is a sandalwood square table, the style is exquisite and gorgeous, antique, and surrounded by a circle of large chairs.

There is a teapot on the table, I don't know how hot or cold, I don't know how much it holds.

There were five people present, but they were the five Honggang hall masters except Chen Pojun, and each had a cup of tea in front of them.

There is a person in the center, dressed in red, tall and burly, with most of the sleeves rolled up. His hair was half white, he was probably in his fifties, and he had a lion's nose and a wide mouth, but he was quite ferocious.

This person is Fang Hu, who has the highest ranking among the six hall masters of the Hong Gang.

"A few virtuous brothers, ahem. I don't know where I learned this elegant title, Fang Hu coughed lightly twice and said, "The Qiu Gang Leader has been missing for a few days, and there is no clue to send someone to secretly investigate. Although the words are ugly, I am really worried that something has happened to the Qiu gang leader, and there is more luck than luck. ”

When the few people present heard this, they suddenly showed a heavy and sad look, shook their heads and sighed, their eyes full of gloom.

It's just that there is a bit of sincerity in it, but others don't know.

"Gang leader Ji Ren Tianxiang, I'm afraid it's too early to assert at this time. A middle-aged man with a slightly chubby square face hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Hall Master, I haven't asserted that something happened to the master, but the current situation is worrying. If you don't plan ahead, I'm afraid that there will be chaos. Fang Hu's eyebrows sank slightly, and he said slowly.

A tall, thin green-robed man with a short beard followed and said, "What Hall Master Fang said is good, but there must be a charter for this matter. ”

He has gray temples, but he is not too young among everyone.

Fang Hu smiled at him, and then said, "Anyway, our Hong Gang must have someone who can take care of things. Otherwise, the dragons will be leaderless, and people's hearts will be scattered. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Before the gang leader returns, I will at least elect a substitute gang leader to preside over the gang affairs for the time being." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they couldn't help frowning slightly, showing a thoughtful look, and they didn't know what their plans were.

The blue-robed man with a short beard heard this, but he nodded to himself, as if he felt the same way: "What the hall master said is good. ”

He glanced left and right, and then said, "Among the six hall masters, the hall master Fang is the eldest and highly respected. I, Li Cunyu, am happy and convinced, and I am willing to nominate the hall master as the acting helper, I don't know what the brothers think?"

Fang Hu couldn't help but smile, he arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Cunyu for lifting up, Fang Mou is a little older, and he can't say it." It's just that since he is an elder brother, this burden should be picked. ”

"Fang Hu!" Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the table shook, and there was an angry shout.

Several people were frightened and hurriedly turned their heads to look.

But it was a bald and one-eyed man who was present who slapped the table and shouted with an angry face.

The top of his head was shiny, he wore a dark blindfold on his face, and his body was sturdy and fierce.

"You are so old, how can you be so shameless!" he glanced at Li Cunyu, "You are in cahoots with Li Cunyu, and I don't know what kind of deeds you have done secretly." I still want to sit in the position of the gang leader, I, Zhao Jiupeng, am the first to disagree!"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Hu and Li Cunyu's faces changed, and even the rest of them couldn't help but look sideways.

Li Cunyu flicked his cuffs, snorted coldly, and said, "Fang Tang Master has the highest seniority, how can he not be the leader of this generation? I just sincerely recommend you, you are so bloody!"

When Zhao Jiupeng heard this, he sneered: "Fortunately, it is one and a half generations higher, if it is three or five generations taller, I am afraid that the grave will grow grass!"

"You ......" Li Cunyu's face turned blue, but he was speechless for a while.

When Fang Hu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hall Master Zhao thinks that how to elect this acting helper?"

"Walking the rivers and lakes, it is natural to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. Zhao Jiupeng glared at the one-eyed, not afraid, "I have a little understanding of this platoon of cloud marksmanship recently, and I am looking for someone to have a discussion." I don't know if Hall Master Fang dares to fight?"

Li Cunyu's face changed slightly: "Clearing clouds marksmanship, is it possible that you have practiced the eighth style?"

"Not bad. Zhao Jiupeng said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Fang Hu was moved.

It turns out that this "cloud shooting method" is a well-known marksmanship on the rivers and lakes, with a total of nine styles, known for its sharpness and speed.

The ninth form is the number of ways that can be practiced by Dacheng masters, and when you practice the eighth style, it can be called the ultimate in the realm of Xiaocheng.

Fang Hu heard this, but he didn't even look surprised, but instead sneered and said: "What does Hall Master Zhao mean, as long as you win a game, you can be the leader of this generation?"
