Legend of the Knight

Chapter 208
Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi clapped their hands to decide on the loan. In fact, he still overstepped his authority a bit. After all, this is a big matter of 1000 taels, and Xiao Yao can't make the decision.

Yes, Xiao Yao could indeed run over to ask Huang Xiaoshi to borrow money, but from a procedural point of view, after Huang Xiaoshi agreed to borrow money, Ke Jianglong had to nod to make the final decision on whether to borrow money.

It's just that when Xiao Yao got excited, he decided the matter at once.

Xiao Yao's personality is very similar to Ke Jianglong's, it has nothing to do with how much he has read, a quick-tempered person is anxious.It can also be said that they are warm-hearted, but when they do things, on the one hand, they are easy to make mistakes, and on the other hand, they are easy to be taken advantage of.

In other words, although Xiao Yao got Ke Jianglong's instruction, even though Ke Jianglong is sitting next to him, do you, Xiao Yao, have the right to decide matters involving thousands of taels of silver?
Of course, Xiao Yao wasn't hiding Ke Jianglong's secrets either. After high-fiving Huang Xiaoshi, he turned around and came to Ke Jianglong's side, and told Ke Jianglong about successfully borrowing 1000 taels of silver.

This sounds like a matter of front foot and back foot, but in general, it is called not knowing the rules, it is called cutting first and playing later, it is called overstepping, and it is called breaking the rules.

If the people below are doing this, then what are you doing with the head of the beggar gang, what are you doing with the elders of the beggar gang, what are you doing with the hall master and rudder master of the beggar gang, what are you doing with the beggar gang, why not get together Forget it.

Some people may think that this is not just a matter of one sentence, why is it so necessary to go online, Ke Jianglong doesn't care.

Indeed, this is not a big deal at all. Normally, at most, Xiao Yao would be verbally reprimanded, but at a time when internal conflicts within the beggar gang are becoming more and more prominent, such carelessness is called giving others a handle.

Fortunately, the person Xiao Yao came into contact with today was Huang Xiaoshi, and fortunately there was no fourth person beside him.

If the other elders found out, they would say that not only Xiao Yao would be punished, but his master Ke Jianglong would also be jointly and severally liable.

The key point here is that although Ke Jianglong is now the leader of the beggar gang and has the right to control the money and food of the beggar gang, in fact, the person who manages the money and food stall is not him, but another faction.

The beggar gang is currently facing a great internal crisis, that is, since the past century, the contradiction between the dirty clothes and the clean clothes has become more and more prominent.

……

The Beggars' Gang was not like this at the beginning of its establishment, but gradually it was divided into two factions, the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Clean Clothes Sect.

The Dirty Clothes Clan are real beggars, they live by begging, they don’t use money, they don’t have any savings, the bottom of the Beggar Clan are all Dirty Clothes Clans; Join the beggar gang because of their close friendship with the disciples of the beggar gang, plus some beggar heads and second or third generation disciples. Although they are small in number, they occupy the middle and high levels of the beggar gang.

For example, Ke Jianglong has six elders, the Dirty Clothes Sect has only one, and the Clean Clothes Sect has five.

Li Hao is also a member of the Clean Clothes Sect. Although his usual clothes are similar to those of the lower class disciples, many people mistake him for the Stained Clothes Sect.

Li Hao is a true clean clothes school.

It's just that Li Hao is closer to the disciples of the Beggar Gang than other clean clothes sects, so his clothes look a bit sloppy, but Li Hao has never begged in the street, and he has his own financial resources.

When Xiao Yao first joined the Beggars' Gang, Li Hao liked him very much. After all, this child was fair and clean, could read and read poetry, but he was a very talented person in the Beggars' Gang.

It's just that Xiao Yao insisted on following Ke Jianglong, so he became the dirty clothes faction.

Although Li Hao was deeply trusted by Ke Jianglong, there was a faction between him and Ke Jianglong, so when Ke Jianglong came to Luoyang this time, he only called Xiao Yao in the name of master and apprentice.

It can also be seen that even if it is Ke Jianglong, he has no way to bridge the differences between the two factions in the beggar gang, because this matter is actually unsolvable.

Let me talk about the simplest thing first, the Beggar Gang is a sect of the Jianghu, and it is not just about begging, it needs a certain amount of force.

There is a folk saying: "The rich do not teach, and the poor do not practice martial arts."

Fu does not teach because teaching is a laborious task.

If you have money, you might as well bury your head in studying hard and go for fame.One day, if you get a name in the exam, even if you are selected as a Juren, it will cost more than the books you have taught for ten lifetimes.

Besides, I have money, so why should I suffer from that bird.

The poor do not practice martial arts because practicing martial arts consumes a lot of people's energy and energy, and takes up a lot of people's time, but there will be no economic benefits in a short period of time.

A person who stops his hands and feet, eats his last meal without eating his next meal, let alone whether his nutrition can keep up, and the situation that he has no food once he practices martial arts, how can he practice martial arts.

Compared with other sects, members of the beggar gang have an extremely serious survival problem.

Those disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect, people starve to death every day, people die of illness every day, and people freeze to death every winter night. Tell them about martial arts at this time, and they listen to them, feeling like you are speaking an alien language Same.

Only the members of the Jingyi Sect, they have their own financial resources, and they don't have to worry about food and drink, especially those second-generation disciples, who have been eating and drinking since they were young, and are physically strong, so they have the energy and time to practice martial arts.

Therefore, as long as the middle and high levels of the beggar gang are involved in those positions that require force, most of them are clean clothes. At the level of elders and gang leaders, it is not enough to have force, even if they are illiterate, they must have brains.

Those of the Dirty Clothes School are even worse.

This is just one of the reasons why the Jingyi faction has few people and great influence.

From the second point of view, those who admired the Beggar Gang and joined the martial arts accounted for only a very small part of the total number of the Beggar Gang, and the vast majority of the Clean Clothes Sect were born from the Dirty Clothes Sect.

There are two aspects to this again.

One is the beggar of the Dirty Clothes Sect, whether you tell him to fight or call him bullying and eating human blood, once he turns into a beggar head, he will naturally become the Clean Clothes Sect.

Second, even if someone worked hard and got into the upper echelons of the Beggar Gang, they would still belong to the Dirty Clothes School, such as Xiao Yao.

When Xiao Yao gets older, he will definitely find a beggar woman to marry.When Xiao Yao's family had a family and a child, he became the head of the beggar gang.

At this time, could it be that Xiao Yao had the heart to let the child go along the street to beg for some leftover soup and cold rice?

Back then, I had no choice but to go to beg for food. Who would want their child to be born a beggar?

Therefore, the descendants of the middle and high-level members of the Beggar Clan will naturally be members of the Jingyi Sect, unless they all learn from Ke Jianglong, they will not marry or have children in this life.

Therefore, although the bottom of the Beggar Gang is all Dirty Clothes Sect, there are millions of people, and the Clean Clothes Sect only accounts for a small part of the Beggar Gang, but the Clean Clothes Sect has financial resources, martial arts, brains, and reputation (the family comes with it), the power is not getting bigger and bigger.

As far as the moment is concerned, although Ke Jianglong's personal prestige is very high, he belongs to the minority among the high-level.

The Beggars' Clan does have a lot of money and food, which are all relief funds, and the elders of the Clean Clothes Sect are usually looking after them.

So, Ke Jianglong doesn't like to bother others, anyway, I'm just a beggar, I'm going to beg for food until I'm old, and I can't get used to delicacies from mountains and seas.If someone specially invites Ke Jianglong to a banquet, he will find it unpleasant to eat.

Since Ke Jianglong became the head of the gang, he has never cared about the money of the beggar gang, and let them do it according to their own conscience.

Luckily, with Ke Jianglong, a soft-hearted and hard-working person suppressing him, the Jingyi faction can be regarded as doing their duty, and the relief that should be given has never been withheld.

But Ke Jianglong also knew that if one day he abdicated and Li Hao took office, no one could say what the beggar gang would be like.

Because the two gangs of the Clean Clothes Sect and the Dirty Clothes Sect are completely different from each other in terms of life, interests, and philosophies, one day, the Beggars' Clan will have conflicts because of the problems of the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Clean Clothes Sect. Layer separation.

When the time comes, only the ghosts will know what the beggar gang will become.

……

Small sects have troubles of small sects, large sects have troubles of large sects, and from small sects to large sects, they have their troubles.

The remark that the wheels are like wheels is not a joke, but a definite point.

As far as the six major sects of the Central Plains are concerned, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and everyone has rivers to cross.

Let me talk about Happy Valley first.

The low population is one, and the tradition of division is the second.

The former made the Tianshan Xiaoyao faction disappear and disappeared into the long river of history. The latter is not far away. Xuan Mingzi has been thinking about how to retaliate against Wuxiazi all day long.

Wudang School, Huashan School, and Tianshan School all have no successors, and the heads of the three schools are all women.

The good thing about the Wudang faction is that compared to the original version, this version of Fang Yunhua is almost as if he had been enlightened by Sanqing. The biggest crisis of the Wudang faction was solved invisibly.

Cao Ehua, the daughter of Cao Dai, the head of Huashan School, is about to marry Gu Yuexuan. Gu Yuexuan is already the head of Xiaoyao Valley.

If Cao Dai passed on the Huashan faction to his disciples, then the Huashan faction would no longer have the surname Cao. If he came to Jiuquan in the future, how would he face the ancestors of the Cao family.

The Tianshan faction was still worried about the head of the Huashan faction just like the Huashan faction, but suddenly heard the news that people from the Tianlong sect had killed Tianshan.

The news was like a blow to the head, knocking He Weifeng unconscious. He left behind his wife and children, and returned to Tianshan with all his disciples.

However, it was too late, the Tianshan faction had nothing left.

He Weifeng led his disciples to collect the corpses of all the people and piled them in the main hall of the Tianshan School, and then lit the dilapidated hall with a fire, giving a decent cremation to the disciples who died in the battle of the Tianshan School.

Looking at the burning hall and the looted Tianshan sect, He Weifeng no longer knew how to proceed.

Then there is Shaolin.

It's not that Shaolin has no successors, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to divide the work of one abbot to two people.

Relatively speaking, the beggar gang is considered happy.

At first glance, the whole gang is united in hatred and brotherhood, but upon closer inspection, Ke Jianglong, Li Hao, Xiao Yao, three generations of old, middle-aged and young are complete, and it couldn't be better.

Of course, the dispute between the two factions of the Beggar Gang is indeed a headache, but this problem is not unique to today. The dispute between the two factions has surfaced as early as a hundred years ago. Until today, the Beggar Gang has not been doing well.

Even if there is a problem, it will be gone after I don't know how many years.

Besides, the reason why the two factions of the Beggar Gang have been fighting each other for so many years is because not only are there conflicts of interest between the two factions, but there is also great complementary interests and interdependence between the two factions.

Those from the Dirty Clothes School need people from the Clean Clothes School to help them succeed.

It doesn't matter whether you are robbed or beaten, when you need people, the people from the Jingyi Sect never say that it has nothing to do with me, so they just kill them with dozens of beggars without saying a word. up.

In the battle of Hangzhou, Li Haona of the Clean Clothes School was not on the front line. If Huang Xiaoshi hadn't been there that day, Li Hao might really have turned from a deadly battle to a deadly battle.

Those of the Clean Clothes faction also need the help of the Dirty Clothes faction to gain momentum.

A second-level martial artist, thrown in the Jianghu martial arts world, is afraid that he will be a fart, so he will catch a lot of them.

But in the beggar gang, maybe it is the hall master or sub-rudder master, so the weight of words is different.

Just talk about Li Hao, just talking about martial arts, even with the support of the dog-beating stick method, it is really reluctant, but now he is the second person in the beggar gang, so I ask you if you are good or not.

Some people may say that just because you have face but no strength, you are not being bullied.

You can't say that, the beggar gang is one of the six factions, as long as you don't meet a fifth-level master, the ants will eat the elephant and you will be killed.

If there is a fifth-level expert who goes to the Beggars' Gang to find fault, other people from the six major factions will fight together.

Although in the past two years, Wu Xiazi, the star of the six major factions, has suddenly grown old, but there are currently four fifth-level masters in the six major factions of the Central Plains (Wu Xiazi, Fang Yunhua, Shang Jingzhong, and Dongfang Weiming).

Even the Dragon King backed away after snapping his fingers, and Xuan Mingzi repeatedly lamented that it was really a gift of destiny, and he was not beaten to death after he visited the Tianshan Mountains.

Shang Jingzhong no longer suppressed his cultivation, that is to say, after he just released the stealth mode, the coercion he exuded made everyone unable to look directly at him.

If you look at the sun with anger, you will be blind.

No one knows how high Shang Jingzhong's cultivation is, not even Huang Xiaoshi.But when everyone found out that Shang Jingzhong was actually the successor of [Nine Suns Divine Art], they were not surprised at first, but everyone was amazed: "Huang Daxian's hexagram is really accurate!"

……

The money was finally borrowed. When Xiao Yao found Ke Jianglong, he saw that he was struggling to bite an overnight hard bun, which he just asked for.

"Master, you are eating buns..."

Before Xiao Yao could finish speaking to Ke Jianglong, Ke Jianglong finally bit the bun, opened his mouth full of rotten teeth, smiled at Xiao Yao and said, "Hey, this is what I asked for. , if you want to eat steamed buns, go by yourself.”

Seeing this, Xiao Yao hurried to Shennong Baicao Gate, and asked someone for another bowl of water.

Seeing Xiao Yao like that (dirty and smelly), the doorman gave him all the bowls together, no more.

After drinking a few sips of water, Ke Jianglong finally swallowed the dry bun in his mouth.

Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jianglong, feeling sore in his heart.

Master is a frugal person, never willing to spend more than a penny, but suddenly borrowed thousands of taels of silver, with Master's prestige, it can definitely be resolved.

However, the trouble is that this matter cannot be explained to people, so after the master has spent the money, he will inevitably be constrained by those elders in charge of accounts.

The old man is dedicated to the country, regardless of fatigue, he is not hesitating to fight with his life, and he doesn't even care about the inexplicable stains on his reputation.

However, what has this country done for him?

In recent years, the beggar gang has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more disciples of the beggar gang.But for the world, when all the people in the world have become beggars, who should they go to beg for food?
Xiao Yao hated the emperor more and more in his heart, first there must be a foolish emperor, and then there will be courtiers.

Chen Chongying has been in power for so many years. If the emperor is really a wise king, he should be eradicated when he ascends the throne, instead of waiting for Chen Chongying to become bigger and bigger.

Ke Jianglong and Xiao Yao, a pair of master and apprentice, are connected heart to heart and love like father and son. However, because of differences in ideas, they eventually become enemies of life and death.
