On the second day, Jin Zhen and Feng Chuan left Shiraishi Town and came to the place where the alliance was held.

The alliance only requires the heads of each gang to worship heaven and earth at the sacrifice table, and then jointly announce the alliance vow to heaven and earth. Yesterday, Li Fengchuan knew this, so he didn't go to the sacrificial table with Jin Zhen, but waited aside.

Feng Chuan waited aside, and after a while, Mu Yunqi, the deputy gang leader of the Datong Gang, and Mu Yunchun, also went to Feng Chuan after separating. Feng Chuan saw Mu Yunqi's deputy gang leader coming over, so he asked: "Mu Yunqi's deputy gang leader doesn't go to the sacrificial table to announce the alliance vow?" Mu Yunqi: "Mu Yunchun's deputy gang leader will go on my behalf." Seeing that the two deputy gang leaders of the Datong Gang, Xu Shennian and Yuan Liuxiao, went to the sacrificial table, Feng Chuan was puzzled and wanted to ask Mu Yunqi what was going on, but he remembered that Jin Zhen said that the five deputy gang leaders of the Datong Gang were divided into three factions, so Feng Chuan didn't ask.

Without the slightest wave, the alliance was successfully formed. As soon as the alliance was formed, Zong Xu said: "We have formed an alliance and have become one, I don't know who everyone is willing to elect as the leader of the alliance." Hearing Zong Xu's words, everyone's expressions were different, and no one spoke after half a sound, but Zong Xu didn't urge everyone.

Seeing that no one had spoken, Xu Shennian said: "There is a senior in the Datong Gang named Hou Shiming, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, old and virtuous, and I elected him as the leader of the alliance. Listening to Xu Shennian's words, everyone looked at Xu Shennian a little strangely, and at the same time thought in their hearts about who Hou Shiming of the Datong Gang was. Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Shennian didn't care, and waited calmly for everyone to speak.

Looking at Xu Shennian's calm face, Yuan Liuxiao opened his mouth and said: "Xu Shennian, you and I are both the deputy gang leaders of the Datong Gang, why haven't I heard that there is Hou Shiming in the Datong Gang, you won't be here to make trouble." Xu Shennian: "Didn't I say it, Hou Shiming's predecessors are indifferent to fame and fortune, it's normal if you don't know." ”

Hearing Xu Shennian's words, Yuan Liuxiao wanted to continue to question Xu Shennian, but at this time Zong Xu spoke: "Since the deputy gang leader of the Datong Gang elected Hou Shiming of the Datong Gang as the leader of the alliance, why didn't the deputy gang leader Xu invite that friend of Hou Shiming to come?" Xu Shennian listened to Zong Xu's words and shouted to one of the people waiting on the side: "Senior Hou Shiming, the master of Zongzhuang invites you to come." ”

As soon as Xu Shennian's words fell, an old man with gray temples jumped up and walked towards the sacrificial table not far from Fengchuan. The two old men with gray temples came to the sacrificial table and said to the people in front of the sacrificial table: "Zongzhuang master, heroes, I have long admired your great names, and I have helped Hou Shiming in Datong." Hearing Hou Shiming's name, Zong Xu said: "We have formed an alliance, Xu Shennian is willing to nominate you as the leader of the alliance, I don't know what you think?" Hou Shiming: "The major matter of serving as the leader of the alliance must be agreed by everyone present, and the recommendation of Deputy Gang Leader Xu is just his intention, and there must be another candidate for everyone present." ”

Hearing Hou Shiming's words, Zong Xu opened his mouth and said to everyone: "I don't know if you are still willing to elect someone else as the leader of the alliance?" As soon as Zong Xu's words fell, Yuan Liuxiao said: "The master of Zongzhuang has martial arts and is righteous and arrogant, I recommend the master of Zongzhuang as the leader of the alliance." As soon as Yuan Liuxiao's words were finished, Qiu Yongtai continued: "I agree with the words of Deputy Gang Leader Yuan, the lord of Zongzhuang is benevolent and righteous first, and he is the best candidate for the leader of the alliance. ”

However, as soon as Qiu Yongtai finished speaking, Meng Shuanghua, the leader of the Aya Silk Gang, said: "Hou Shiming's predecessors are indifferent to fame and fortune, I think it is more appropriate for him to lead the alliance. ”

After Meng Shuanghua put forward his opinion, Shang Yuan also opened his mouth to echo Meng Shuanghua's opinion. Then Jin Zhen and Mu Yunchun glanced at each other, and successively opened their mouths to recommend Hou Shiming as the leader of the alliance.

Seeing that the person who promoted Hou Shiming had reached half of the number of people present, Zong Xu was a little annoyed in his heart, but he still had a kind expression on his face.

The next thing was surprising, the rest of the people all elected Zong Xu as the leader of the alliance, seeing that half of Zong Xu and Hou Shiming each supported him, Qiu Yongtai said: "Master Zongzhuang, now you Wanyuzhuang has not said who will be elected as the leader of the alliance." Zong Xu: "Since I and Hou Shiming's friends each have half of the support, no matter who I recommend, I can't get everyone to agree, so I won't nominate it." ”

Hearing what Zong Xu said, Qiu Yongtai knew that the alliance master could not be chosen, so he opened his mouth and said to everyone: "We have formed an alliance, if there is no alliance leader, who should arrange the affairs in the alliance in the future, is it possible that in the future, the affairs in the alliance will be discussed and decided together as today, if the result of the discussion is the same as the election of the alliance leader, and the result cannot be discussed, then why should we form an alliance?"

Everyone listened to Qiu Yongtai's words and did not reply to Qiu Yongtai's words. However, Zong Xu was silent for a while and then said to everyone: "I and Hou Shiming's friends each have half of the support, according to this situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to determine the candidate for the alliance leader, I propose that I compete with Hou Shiming's friends, to see who is strong in martial arts, who will be elected as the alliance leader, I don't know what everyone thinks?" Hearing this, Yuan Liuxiao said to Hou Shiming: "Hou Shiming, I don't know what you think?" Hou Shiming listened to Yuan Liuxiao's words and did not answer Yuan Liuxiao, but said to Xu Shennian and Shang Yuan: " I don't know what a few of my friends think of the nomination?" Except for Xu Shennian, the other people present didn't know that there was Hou Shiming before forming an alliance, and after hearing Hou Shiming's words, Jin Zhen, Mu Yunchun, and Shang Yuan all looked at the tip of their noses with their eyes in contemplation, and did not speak immediately.

Seeing that no one answered Hou Shiming's words, Xu Shennian asked Meng Shuanghua: "I don't know what the Meng Gang Master thinks?" Meng Shuanghua: "Then what does Deputy Gang Master Xu think in his heart?" Xu Shennian: "I think Hou Shiming's predecessors can compete with the Zongzhuang Master." Meng Shuanghua: "You think it's okay, I think it's possible." Seeing that Meng Shuanghua agreed, Xu Shennian asked Shang Yuan, Jin Zhen, and Mu Yunchun: "I don't know what Shang Yuan's gang leader, Jin gang leader, and Mu Deputy gang leader think?" Shang Yuan, Jin Zhen, and Mu Yunchun heard Xu Shennian's words and said together: "Since Meng Gang Leader thinks it is feasible, we also agree." ”

After Xu Shennian got Shang Yuan and Jin Zhen's answers, he turned to Hou Shiming and said: "Senior Hou Shiming, we agree with the proposal of the owner of the Zongzhuang, I wonder if the predecessor of Hou Shiming is willing to compete with the owner of the Zongzhuang?" Hou Shiming: "Since everyone supports me, I can only compete with the owner of the Zongzhuang." ”

Hou Shiming and Zong Xu arranged the place of the contest in an open space not far from the sacrificial table, and then everyone in front of the sacrificial table left one after another.

After Jin Zhen left the sacrifice table, he headed towards Fengchuan, and when Fengchuan saw Jin Zhen coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, how is the alliance?" Jin Zhen: "The alliance has been successful, but everyone has a certain disagreement about who will be the leader of the alliance." Feng Chuan: "Is there still someone competing with the owner of Wanyu Zhuang for the leader of the alliance?" Jin Zhen: "There is a senior of Hou Shiming in the Datong Gang who wants to compete with the owner of Wanyu Zhuang for the position of the leader of the alliance. Feng Chuan: "Then who is Hou Shiming's predecessor, why haven't you heard my brother say it?" Jin Zhen: "I'll tell you in detail when I return to the inn, Hou Shiming's predecessor wants to compete with the owner of Wanyu Village, let's go and see the results first." After Jin Zhen finished speaking, he followed Fengchuan towards Zongxu and Hou Shiming.

Seeing that Zong Xu and Hou Shiming were standing opposite each other at a distance of about two zhang, the others stood aside one after another to give up a large area for Zong Xu and Hou Shiming.
