Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 176

After the three people from Hunyuan Stargate took their seats at the side of the main stage, the "rhythm" in the venue finally eased up a little bit, and Di Bujuan could finally lead everyone to discuss some serious matters.

Today's Qixiong meeting is mainly about two things: first, to choose a new chief sect leader for the four sects and three gangs; second, to find a suitable one from the participating sects to join the four sects and three gangs.

Originally, Di Bujuan was confident about his election as the chief sect master, so he planned to get the "first thing" done first, and then the "second thing".

But right now, being disturbed by Shuangxie, Di Bujuan found that the first thing seems to be unsafe... If he still goes according to the original plan, most of the leaders of the other five factions will not let him pass the test.

There is no way, Di Buyi can only do the second thing first.

In this way, he said a few more pre-prepared speeches on the stage, and then he continued when he reached the last sentence: "... Then, comrades, I don't know which sect or sect would like to join our four sects. What about the three gangs who form an alliance? If the leaders have any wishes or want to recommend others, you can speak up."

As soon as he said this, the reaction from the audience rose.

Don't look at how ugly these sects were fighting on stage just now, but there are still some people who want to join them.

It is true that any one of the four sects and three gangs is pulled out and put on the rivers and lakes. Its comprehensive strength cannot compare with the time-honored famous sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Beggars' Gang. , then they must be regarded as one of the most powerful backbone forces in the Central Plains martial arts.

Being able to join this alliance, even if you can't get any direct benefits from the other six factions, you will only benefit greatly in terms of reputation and status.

Besides... Could it really be no good?
Our land in the Central Plains has been a society of human relationships since ancient times, especially on the rivers and lakes.

For example, if your sect wants to handle some business, and you want to go by water, and you happen to be an alliance with the Cao Gang, can your treatment be the same as that of outsiders?Whether it's the speed of delivery, safety, price... the people on your own must take care of it, right?

There are too many hidden benefits like this, let's take a step back... Doesn't the head of your sect drink tea?Can you eat without salt?
"My Haisha Gang is willing to join!"

"My Eagle Claw Gate is willing to join!"

"My Taishan faction is willing to join!"

Sure enough, not long after Di Bujuan spoke, there was an overwhelming response, and those small and medium sects volunteered one after another.

And the heads sitting in the upper seat naturally have their own calculations.

Take Di Bujuan as an example. Long before the Seven Heroes Meeting was held, he had already made friends with the heads of more than a dozen third-rate sects. It didn't matter which of these sects could be selected, because they were all defeated by Di Bujuan. With the promise of benefits, they are willing to be the dogs of the Cao Gang; as long as they are elected, they will immediately vote for Di Buyi in the election of the head of the sect.

This... is undoubtedly one of Di Bujuan's back-ups.

He has already considered that if something goes wrong during the "first thing", he can rely on doing the "second thing" first, and then make up for it later.

However, Cao Fengchao does not want Di Bujuan to fulfill his wish...

Fatty Cao is trying to achieve "balance". The Cao Gang is already the strongest among the four sects and three gangs. If Di Bujuan puts a dog-legged sect in, what's the point?
The intelligence network of the Salt Gang is not easy. Cao Fengchao knows exactly which sect leaders Di Buyi has bought, so he has already made up his mind today: he must not let Di Buyi drag his dog legs into the four corners. The three gangs, even if they get into trouble, they can't do it.

"It seems that you comrades are very flattering to our four families and three gangs, hehe... Cao is a little flattered." After the roars from the audience had passed for a round, Cao Fengchao, who was sitting in the upper seat, started He made trouble with a hidden knife in his smile, "However, Cao discovered... the heroes of the Beggar Clan have not spoken all the time..." He said, and cast his eyes on the array of Beggar Clan not far away, "I don't know ... Elder Feng, what do you think?"

Cao Fengchao's words were very important. With his words, everyone's focus naturally fell on the Beggars' Clan.

There are not too many people coming from the beggar gang today, there are two leaders, one is their nine-pocket elder Feng Jisheng, and the other is eight-pocket Dharma protector Wang Peng.

At this moment when Cao Fengchao asked such a question, the two of them were taken aback. Obviously, they were unprepared for this question...

Of course, they can't be blamed, because today the Beggar Gang came to the Qixionghui, and they didn't intend to get involved in the crap of the four sects and three gangs. They had other purposes.

For what purpose?

It's nothing, I just want to find someone.

Here, I have to mention a few words about the situation of the beggar gang in the great rivers and lakes...

The 19 years of Yongtai have not been a good year for the beggars. At the beginning of the year, their leader Niu Yu finished his last years of fighting against illness and died on the sickbed; Use his body in his prime to tell everyone, if you know how to "force alcohol out of the body by internal strength", you should use it as much as possible, otherwise liver cirrhosis enters the decompensated stage and basically cannot be saved.

In any case, this person is dead, so he should be buried properly, deal with the funeral affairs, and then choose a new leader.

But they can't choose...

Because this is the season when the talents of the beggar gang are withering and dying.

The four great elders and the five great protectors, there are nine people in total, the oldest one is 75, and the youngest is almost [-]. Even if some of them are indeed first-class masters, but to be in charge of the beggar gang, with them At such an age, the physical strength and energy are absolutely unbearable.

As for those members of the Mesozoic generation who still have plenty of physical strength and energy, there are quite a few of them who have good morals, but unfortunately none of them are top-notch in martial arts...

Let's not talk about the rest of the younger generation. Even if they are qualified, it is still far from the time for them to become gang leaders.

So, it has been half a year since Niu Yu's death, and they still haven't selected a suitable leader; There are no real leaders.

As the "biggest gang in the world", the Beggar Gang has been without a leader for a long time. Can they not worry?

In desperation, these beggars thought of someone.

This person has also appeared in the previous article, his name is Lin Dong, the same Lin Dong who ate free food at Di Buyi's for several months, and lost a finger because of helping the little girl selling jelly.

Let's talk about that year, after Lin Dong left Di Bujuan's restaurant, he took his wife to roam the rivers and lakes, and joined the Beggars' Gang not long after.

He stayed here for eight years.

Eight years later, 38-year-old Lin Dong became the leader of the Beggar Gang, but in the end, he only stayed in the position for half a year before leaving the Beggar Gang.

Because that year... Lin Dong's wife died.

Lin Dong had only had this one woman in his life, and never thought of taking a concubine. His wife always wanted to have a child for him, but their first child died before he was one year old, and the second child died with his mother when he was born. Both passed away.

The medical conditions in those days were like this. It was just bad luck, and it was easy to die because of childbirth.

Lin Dong blamed himself for his wife's death and was filled with grief. He felt that he no longer had the energy to take care of the affairs of the Beggar Gang, so he resigned as the leader of the gang and returned to his hometown with his wife's ashes.

In the 12 years since he left, the position of leader of the Beggar Gang changed hands twice, and the last time it passed to Niu Yu.

And Lin Dong... After guarding his wife's grave for a year, he began to wander the world alone, and soon after, he gained the title of "Golden Beggar".

Yes, it is the gold beggar of "Gold Beggar, Silver Dao, Bronze Confucianism and Iron Monk".

Although Lin Dong has been a loner all these years and has had little contact with the Beggar Gang for a long time, but in the current situation, it is reasonable for the elders of the Beggar Gang to invite him back to preside over the overall situation.

It's just... this guy's whereabouts are also erratic on weekdays, even when he is acting chivalrously, he will not deliberately reveal his identity. There is no difference between beggars, so it is really hard to find.

The beggar gang will come to the Qixionghui today, and it is also with the mentality of giving it a try, because some elders have heard Lin Dong say many years ago that he had a friendship with Di Bujuan when he was young, so they thought... Lin Dong Will you also come to the Qixiong meeting to meet old friends?

It's a pity that Lin Dong hasn't shown up until now, so it seems that he was in vain.

Of course, members of the Beggars’ Clan wouldn’t leave the meeting halfway because they didn’t find the person they were looking for. After all, the head of the Di Clan has arranged good seats for you. It would be too shameful for you to leave halfway through the meeting; This meeting is held on the island, even if you leave early, you won't be able to go back to the shore without Cao Gang sailing.

Therefore, these members of the beggar gang are basically waiting for the meeting to end with the idea of ​​watching the excitement and eating soy sauce. Who would have thought that Cao Fengchao would suddenly come to ask them for their opinions.

He, Feng Jisheng and Wang Peng, are just elders and protectors, not gang leaders, so what's your opinion?Even if there are, opinions from their mouths, does that count?
But people have asked all the questions, you can't pretend you didn't hear it.

Reluctantly, after exchanging glances with Wang Peng beside him, Feng Jisheng, who was still older and had a higher seniority in the gang, replied: "The leader of the Cao gang is polite. Today, the beggar gang came here just to do something for fellow comrades." A testimony... My gang has no intention of joining the four sects and three gangs, nor does it interfere with your decision; moreover, Feng is not the leader of the gang, but just an elder, so it doesn't matter if you say it, hehe... So, As to which sect to choose, I'd like to ask Head Cao to discuss it on your own."

After all, it was the old Jianghu, with a few polite words, he kicked the ball back.

As for Cao Fengchao, he had already guessed that the other party would answer in this way before asking the question, so he was already prepared, and responded directly: "Hey, it's Elder Feng who is being polite." He paused and changed hands. A high hat was put down, "The beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, known for its justice and chivalry, and Elder Feng is also the elder of the gang, with great virtue... Who dares to take something you say today seriously?" Gao After putting on the hat, he added another sentence, "I hope Elder Feng can give us some advice and recommend one or two sects that you think are suitable."

Cao Fengchao's trick is very clever, he knows very well that the beggar gang doesn't care who joins the four sects and three gangs, so they are absolutely neutral. According to normal logic, they would never choose the third-rate sects bought by Di Buyi.

Furthermore, the reputation of the Beggar Gang is good, and its influence is large enough. Everyone will feel that Feng Jisheng's words are fair.

Let's take a step back, when the time comes, there will be people who really want to resent, and they will also resent Feng Jisheng...

In short, using these beggars as gunmen is much better than Cao Fengchao himself jumping out to offend people.

On the other side, after Feng Jisheng listened, he said in his heart: "Okay, you old man Cao, you are determined to set me up, you play with me? Okay! Let's see how I respond... ..."

In the next second, seeing Feng Jisheng stroking his beard and smiling, he replied brightly, "Heh... well, since Chief Cao said so, then I, Old Beggar Feng, might as well say it bluntly..."

Only halfway through his words, the hearts of countless masters both on and off the stage were in their throats.

No one expected...

The second half of Feng Jisheng's sentence was: "I think this Hunyuan Stargate...is quite suitable."
