Chapter 3: The Emperor and the Beggar
On the rolling river, a ferry boat was heading south, and in the corner of the ferry, there was a beggar in tattered clothes, and the merchants on the boat did not want to go near the beggar, so there was a vacant space beside the beggar, and there was a relatively comfortable space on the crowded ferry.
The ferry came to the south bank of the Yangtze River, the merchants hurriedly got off the boat, and when the people on the ferry were almost finished, the beggar got up unhurriedly, stretched his waist, picked up the bamboo stick around him, and walked off the boat slowly, the boat boss in charge of the ferry looked at the beggar curiously, he felt that this beggar was a little special, that leisurely appearance was not like a beggar, as if he was the emperor.
The boat boss was right, the beggar who had just stepped off the ferry and set foot on the land of the Song Kingdom was His Majesty Wanyan Kang, the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom.
Emperor Majesty's plan is very simple, he first entered the beggar gang to observe the situation, once it is confirmed that Hong Qigong is dead, he will join the Iron Palm Gang to deal with Lu Youjiao, if Hong Qigong is still alive, then he has to act at the opportunity, Yang Kang once walked with Hong Qigong all the way from Lin'an Mansion to Xiangxi, plus the news he heard from Mu Nianci, he is very familiar with the rules of the beggar gang, and he is not afraid of revealing his stuff.
The bamboo stick he is holding in his hand is the dog beating stick of the beggar gang, the dog beating stick is also called the green bamboo cane, which is the thing passed down from generation to generation by the leader of the beggar gang, the body of the stick is green and crystalline, and it is very good-looking, but Yang Kang painted a layer of black paint on the outside of the dog beating stick in order to hide people's eyes, so that the dog beating stick looks like a burning stick.
In this way, His Majesty the Emperor set out on the road to Dongting Lake as a beggar.
Along the way, he occasionally mixed into the beggar gang to inquire about the news, but most of the time was spent by himself, Yang Kang was dressed as a disciple of the Pure Clothes Sect, and the disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect did not have to beg along the street, they could take a carriage. Staying in the guest house, eating in the restaurant, it was quite comfortable, and finally came to the front of the Iron Palm Peak after more than ten days.
At this time, the conflict between the Beggar Gang and the Iron Palm Gang intensified, especially after the news of Hong Qigong's death came out, the disciples of the Beggar Gang believed that it was because of the sneak attack of the Iron Palm Gang leader Qiu Qianren that caused the Hong Gang leader to be seriously injured. Then it was also the Iron Palm Gang disciples who recruited Ouyang Feng, who was the Western Poison, and finally led to the death of Hong Qigong.
The hatred of the disciples of the beggar gang for the Iron Palm Gang is stronger than that for Ouyang Feng, the reason why the beggar gang conference was held in Junshan on Dongting Lake is also the idea of avenging Hong Qigong, Junshan is not far from the Iron Palm Peak, and the next topic for the beggar gang after electing a new gang leader is to deal with the Iron Palm Gang.
Yang Kang walked all the way towards the Iron Palm Peak.
Two years ago, he and Hong Qigong walked this road, when he was still the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, but now he has become the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. In the past two years, he has encountered too many changes, and he has long lost his original relaxed mentality, not to mention that he has no way back.
The Iron Palm Gang stopped Yang Kang, if it weren't for the fact that this young beggar was not threatened, they would have taken action a long time ago, there have been many skirmishes between the Beggar Gang and the Iron Palm Gang, there were mutual deaths and injuries, and the Beggar Gang wanted to hold a meeting. The Iron Palm Gang is also gearing up, and sooner or later there will be a big fight between the two gangs.
"I. I want to see Peng's family and have something important to discuss. His Majesty the Emperor asked.
Seeing that the beggar looked serious, the gang went to the mountain to make a report, and it didn't take long for them to come down again, leading Yang Kang towards the mountain, and His Majesty the Emperor looked at the cottage of the Iron Palm Gang. There is not much change from two years ago, it seems that Peng Lianhu's work enthusiasm is not high!
"Haha, isn't it because the beggar gang is here to make a war letter? Hong Qigong is dead, and sooner or later the beggar gang will be in our pocket, and the Iron Palm Gang will replace the beggar gang to become the largest gang in the world. "Just walked into the cottage. Yang Kang heard Peng Lianhu's arrogant voice.
"Hmph, the beggar gang even dares to send someone, is it really bullying me that there is no one in the Iron Palm Gang?" a woman's voice sounded, "See if I don't cut him with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces." ”
His Majesty the Emperor stumbled at his feet, who is this woman, she is too fierce, he walked into the hall of the cottage with a sense of curiosity, and saw several martial arts figures gathered in the hall, and a beautiful woman was sitting in the middle.
"Your Majesty ......" Peng Lianhu was surprised when he saw Yang Kang.
The robber leader immediately got up and knelt on the ground, wanting to kowtow, Yang Kang stepped forward and raised his hand to help Peng Lianhu, the two of them had a slight dispute, Peng Lianhu had no choice but to get up.
"Don't be like this, this place is not a court, just follow the rules in the martial arts. His Majesty the Emperor pretended to blame.
This is not blame, but praise, people in the martial arts are used to being at ease, and they are not very in awe of the imperial power, Peng Lianhu and Yang Kang's pretentiousness makes other martial arts masters have a trace of awe of the imperial power, think about it, even a first-class master like Peng Lianhu has to kneel in front of the emperor, this is the power of power, and others will naturally respect Yang Kang.
"You are the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin?" the beautiful woman sitting in the middle stood up and asked curiously.
"This is the Iron Palm Gang Qiu Master, and it is the Gongsun Lady of the Valley of Despair. Peng Lianhu cautiously introduced.
Peng Lianhu followed Yang Kang's instructions to pull Qiu Qianqi of the Valley of Desperation over, and the Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianqi heard that the second brother Qiu Qianqian was chased and killed by Zhou Botong, a master of the Quanzhen Sect, and two years have passed, and he is still missing.
These days, the robber leader has thoroughly understood Qiu Qianchi's domineering character, mainly because he was defeated under Qiu Qianchi's iron palm in several attempts, which made Peng Lianhu feel palpitations.
"Long admiration, long admiration!" the emperor said with his hand, "Qiu Dang's women don't let their eyebrows be shaved, which is really admirable." ”
"Don't talk about these falsehoods, I just want to find out how the emperor knows about the Valley of Despair, our Valley of Despair has never befriended outsiders. Qiu Qianqi did not be polite with His Majesty the Emperor, but directly asked the doubts in his heart.
"I saw it in an ancient book, and the book described the Valley of Despair as beautiful as a fairyland, and I longed for it, so I sent someone to look for it, but I didn't expect to find my wife, and I thought it was fate. Yang Kang explained.
"If the husband hears the emperor's words, he will be proud. Qiu Qianqi said with satisfaction.
His Majesty the Emperor put his mind at ease, fortunately the woman did not ask what book it was, he glanced at Peng Lianhu, and the robber leader understood, and hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Didn't the emperor come here for the sake of the beggars?" asked Peng Lianhu knowingly.
"That's right, the beggar gang has always been against my Dajin Kingdom, this time the beggar gang disciples gathered in Junshan, I came to get rid of the beggar gang in one fell swoop. Yang Kang said hatefully.
"Your Majesty, Weichen and Qiu Dangjia are discussing this matter, the beggar gang is the great enemy of the Iron Palm Gang, this group of beggars dares to gather in the place of our Iron Palm Gang, and they don't take us in their eyes at all, it's really unbearable. Peng Lianhu said angrily.
"That's an abomination. His Majesty the Emperor agreed, "Master Qiu, I am determined to help the Iron Palm Gang deal with the beggar gang, and I have a great friendship with Brother Ling, and this matter is incumbent." ”
With a word from you and a word from me, the Iron Palm Gang and Qiu Qianqi have brought the Iron Palm Gang and Qiu Qianqi to the forefront of dealing with the Beggar Gang. (To be continued......)
