On a late autumn morning, Phoenix City, located in the north of Jingchu, was already full of snow and frost, and the cold was gloomy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe overnight leaves were scattered on the street, and the frost and snow made it look like the potato chips that children like to eat, hard, white, and rolled, all covered with a layer of sugar-like frost.

Not only that, but the houses along the street are also covered with a thin layer of snow and frost on the original blue tiles. There were two pigeons walking on the frosty tiles, one after the other, and sometimes they would stop and snuggle up to each other with their dexterous necks, so that the beautiful feathers on their necks would hug each other for warmth.

A morning sun broke through the blue sky, shining all the frost-stained roofs of Phoenix, and shrouded the blue and white pigeons that had reached the roof in a warm sunshine. The sun shone on the light frost, reflecting the dazzling golden light, and reflected the white feathers of the pigeon's shaking face even more pure and charming.

At this moment, on the street covered with fallen leaves with light frost, there was a fast horse, and he rushed from a distant place into the east gate of Phoenix. Then they ran down the street to the right, and the rustling of the horses' hooves on the frost-covered leaves startled the pair of snuggling pigeons on the rooftops of the street, and immediately they flapped their dexterous wings toward the center of Phoenix.

At this time, there are only three or two shops along the street, and the locals usually go to bed early and wake up late on such cold autumn mornings. It is only these people who do business, and they get up early to motivate themselves to work hard, but also the needs of business. After all, sometimes, there are customers who arrive early and need to buy what they need.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store had just opened the first plate on the bunk, and he saw the purple-clothed swordsman braving the frost and cold wind, facing the early morning sun, galloping on a horse, flashing past the door of his shop.

However, the appearance of this swordsman left a distinct imprint on his mind. He saw the swordsman's bronzed face with an anxious look, his bright eyes, always staring eagerly ahead, perhaps he was afraid that the galloping horse would be too fast and would run into a pedestrian who suddenly came out of the alley along the street, or perhaps he had a hundred thousand urgent things in his heart waiting for him to complete. His old purple robe fluttered in the frosty morning breeze, and the hunt sounded.

It wasn't until this young swordsman had passed for a long time that the shopkeeper of the grocery store held on to the plate that had just been removed, and muttered to himself with curious questions: "Where to go, so early, so urgent!"

When he was thirteen years old, his family died of hunger and cold due to the chaos of the war, and by chance, he met Yuan Pingyue, who was one year older than him, that is, the late leader of the beggar gang. Under the recommendation of Yuan Pingyue, he joined the beggar gang.

In the beggar gang, he and Yuan Pingyue are like brothers, encouraging each other and helping each other. Both of them performed very well, and it can be said that his ability to control things has an advantage over Yuan Pingyue.

However, when the opportunity to appoint the leader of the beggar gang came, Zhang Juntao did not hesitate to give this opportunity to Yuan Pingyue, who was also an elder of the beggar gang at that time. Later, Yuan Pingyue, who became the leader of the beggar gang, appointed him as the deputy leader of the beggar gang three years later in order to thank his good brother for his humility.

In this way, the two of them were heart-to-heart, breathed the same fate, and led the beggar gang together for 33 years, and during these 33 years, everyone felt deeply sorry for Zhang Juntao, the eternal deputy leader. However, he himself has never forgotten Yuan Mingyue's kindness, and he is also content and happy, and he has never complained or regretted it.

However, not long ago, the good eldest brother, Yuan Pingyue, the leader of the beggar gang, was murdered by people around him, and it happened that on the morning when the gang leader was killed, he entered the door of the gang leader Yuan Pingyue again. And when he went out, he also met Elder Gu Cheng who came to visit the gang leader Yuan Pingyue, so that the gang leader Yuan Pingyue was killed, and Elder Gu Cheng had every reason to suspect that he was the murderer.

Therefore, Elder Gu Cheng selflessly reported him on the spot, and for a while he was regarded as a murderer by his brothers in the beggar gang. There are even people who talk behind their backs: "The deputy gang leader wants to be the gang leader and wants to go crazy, he can't wait, that's why he will do such a heinous thing." ”

Under the circumstances at that time, the murder of gang leader Yuan Pingyue could be said to have a heavier and more sad mood than no one in the whole gang! The two of them were brothers who shared hardships and weal and woe, and they were friends who never gave up on life and death. In that time of great grief, in order to take care of the overall situation of the beggar gang, he was willing to silently bear the slander, suspicion, and cold eyes and anger of the brothers in the gang.

Moreover, he was willing to be regarded as a suspect in the murder of the gang leader and put in the cold and damp death row of the beggars, but in that desperate time, he still believed that justice was in the hearts of the people, and the truth would eventually be revealed to the world.

Fortunately, the timely appearance of the purple-clothed swordsman Nan Jian exposed the enemy's conspiracy and disintegrated the powerful forces that the ten martial kings had planned for a long time to capture the beggar gang; finally, the murderer of the gang leader was found out, so that the truth about the murder of the gang leader Yuan Pingyue was revealed to the world, and the whole gang also made the whole gang respect and worship him, the deputy gang leader of the beggar gang who endured humiliation and burden.

However, this time, the whole gang was unanimous, and they strongly longed for their respected deputy gang leader to bravely shoulder the heavy burden, take over the heavy responsibility of the gang leader, and lead the beggar gang to create more glory. Of course, he had no reason to refuse the wishes of the brothers, so he readily agreed and promised in public that he would do his best and work hard in the future to build the Beggar Gang stronger.

Late that night, in the prison where the boxing champion Qin Jubo was imprisoned, there was suddenly a chaotic sound of fighting. Later, a beggar disciple hurriedly came and told him that Liu Junshan, the spear king in Matou City, suddenly rushed into the prison with dozens of people with extraordinary skills, trying to rescue Qin Jubo, the boxing king who was imprisoned in the prison.

Hearing this, he didn't have time to convene the eight elders of the gang to discuss countermeasures, and he went alone to fight the invading enemy and start a fierce battle. Although his eagle claw kung fu is very powerful, after all, the people who come are not good, and they are all first-class masters in today's rivers and lakes; in the end, he was outnumbered and rescued by the other party, the boxing king Qin Jubo in prison.

In the fierce battle, he was hit in the arm by Zhuge Ping, the righteous brother of the spear king Liu Junshan, with a poisonous crossbow arrow, and now five days have passed, the wound has festered, and the poison has spread to his whole body. Seeing that he was angry, he only had his last breath left.

He is such a troubled person, a few days ago the gang set an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it seems that there are still three or five days before the grand ceremony of being appointed as the leader of the gang, and he has encountered such a bad luck, which is really a very unfair thing for him. Therefore, the brothers of the beggar gang discussed in private: "Our deputy gang leader has a bad life, and he can't afford such a good thing of being rich and expensive." ”

His injuries were getting worse day by day, and this morning, as soon as the sky was dark, several elders had already discovered that his left arm, which had been hit by a crossbow arrow, had turned from purple to purple and black overnight.

Everyone's mood was sad, and even though the dawn was already shining outside the window, the room still needed light, and without it, it was still dim. In the light of the light, the deputy leader lay on the bed with a sallow face and chapped lips, he was awake, but he did not open his faint eyes. First, because his spirit was indeed very weak and haggard, and even opening his eyes consumed a huge amount of physical strength, and second, because as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see the eight beggar elders in front of him who stood firm day and night and never gave up.

They were all his good brothers, although there were two elders who were new elders who succeeded the deceased Elder Jia Wencai and Shu Yufeng. However, they are also old members of the gang, and their feelings are very deep. Although he was dying, he really didn't want to look at these good brothers and feel sad for him, which made him very uneasy.

Therefore he closed his eyes, but he was so reluctant to think that he was about to say goodbye to these good brothers forever, that he closed his eyes and burst into tears.
