Chapter Eleven Heroes Conference (1)
After Lu Qian escaped from the Tongguan battlefield, he hid all the way. In the early morning, he arrived in Chang'an and showed the token given by Duoduo to the local government. After reporting on military information, he received a few taels of silver rewards. Within a few hours, he bought all the wine. He heard that the Qing army had won a great victory and changed the country. He was frustrated and took out the booklet stolen from Li Yijie to read it. He glanced at a few pages quickly, but felt that the moves were very different from what he had seen before. He couldn't figure it out. At this time, no one discussed it, so he had to ignore it for the time being.
Then he explored the news of the Heroes Conference, but because of his days of running around, his clothes were worn and worn out. He met passers-by and he was either disdainful or perfunctory. He still found nothing until noon. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. Suddenly, someone shouted not far away: "The way of heaven is running, and there is a fixed number; the price is fair, and the old man is not deceived; if it is not accurate, he will not take any money." When he approached, he saw that he was a thin old man, wearing a black and white robe, a black gauze hood, and shook his hand drums while talking, and a wooden table covered with white cloth was set up next to him. It seemed that he was a fortune teller.
Lu Qian usually feels that these people are all cheaters and secretly contempt. The situation is easy at any time. He thought that he would travel around the world and have a good news. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother-in-law, can you ask about it?"
The old man glanced at him and shook his head and said, "I see that there is a sign of evil in the face of the young hero, which shows that the passing years is unfavorable. He has just left the tiger's den and will turn into the wolf's den. I advise you to cancel your recent itinerary and go home to rest and exorcise evil spirits. You may be able to escape the disaster that will not come in the future."
Lu Qian said unhappily: "You old man, why did you curse someone? I have been very unhappy these days, and I have caused you a lot of bad luck. Do you believe it or not, and I will kill you with one knife before I get into trouble? You will answer whatever I ask." Thinking of the hero conference in a few days is crucial to you, even if you know the truth is difficult to tell, you still can't listen to any unlucky words.
The old man sighed, "Young people don't know that the world is high and the earth is rich. When you count on your fingers, it is a very bad place to go. It is the best way to take another way. But you are stubborn and are a person who never strikes a wall and never turns back. If you don't suffer any losses, you will never repent yourself. You may not be willing to listen to my advice. Well, you can just take some money and wait for me to help you eliminate disasters."
Lu Qian sneered, "It's so vague, it's all the same thing, I'll see what tricks you are playing!" He reached into his arms, but it was empty. Then he remembered that all the silver liang had changed to drink. Without thinking, he took the token from his waist, slapped it heavily on the table, and said, "I'll use this thing to pay. You can find someone who knows it, and it's not difficult to exchange for a few taels of gold."
The old man narrowed his eyes, looked at the pattern on the card, and suddenly his expression changed drastically. He raised his sleeves and covered his eyes and said, "Hold it away quickly! Do you want to cause trouble? No, no, I can't handle your affairs. I hope the young man will be blessed!" Lu Qian grabbed his vest and shouted, "Do you want to leave after a sensation? You don't know the good things! This is not stolen, nor is it robbed, nor is it a worthless counterfeit thing. Why can't you accept it?" The old man was still timid and always hid his hands in front of him, as if even looking at him more was a sin.
This noisy attracted a large number of pedestrians to stop and watch. Lu Qian immediately put away his stern look, clasped his fists and bowed in all directions, and said loudly: "All the villagers, please come to evaluate this principle. This old guy said that he would resolve the disaster for me. Although I had no money, I didn't come to rely on him. He refused to accept it, but he falsely accused me of not giving money, so he left me alone. How could there be such rules?"
A burly man said, "That depends on what it is. Look at what you are wearing rags. What valuable things can you get? If it is a mud dug on the roadside, you don't want to be a beggar." Lu Qian picked up the token and said, "It's all a blind eye. Just show me clearly. This is a token given by Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty. It's not a fake. Is it worth a fortune telling money?" The man took the closer look, looked at Lu Qian with a suspicious look, and pondered: "It's not fake... Are you holding this token just a Manchu lackey?"
Lu Qian said: "The Qing army has broken through the city and entered the pass. The overall situation is settled. What's the use of you to resist stubbornly? It would be much better to do your best to make a public official and get a half-time position." The man said angrily: "Boy, do you want to die?" He raised his hand and said: "Brothers, I'll kill this traitor for me!"
Several men came from the crowd, surrounded by all sides. Lu Qian saw that they were heavy and clumsy in their footsteps, but they were just street gangsters. No matter how many people were, they didn't care. They raised their hand and grabbed the door of a person, turned around and pressed his arm, and hit the back of his neck. The man was spinning and fell to the ground. Lu Qian's confidence increased greatly and used quick methods to point the countdown. It was the first time since he studied martial arts that the gap between the enemy and us was so huge. He immediately felt a little bit of pleasure in looking down on all living beings.
Just as he was a little proud, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing behind his ears. As the saying goes, he knows that the other party has a deep internal strength when he hears the sound. Although he is arrogant, he does not make mistakes. He dares not ignore it at the moment, and he rotates his heels and dodges sideways, and turns the arc. The next moment he meets his opponent. An old beggar holding a bamboo crutch and carrying a sack stands in front of his eyes, dragging his long beard straight to his chest, and his face is like a flat mask. A whisper from the crowd: "That is Yu Shuanglin, the elder of the Beggar Gang. Except for Elder Peng, he is considered the second person in the gang."
Yu Shuanglin was cold and did not show his joy or anger on his face. He missed one move first, then came again, and waved the bamboo crook to attack. Because his weapons were very long, Lu Qian did not dare to fight in close combat, so he had to jump up and down to dodge, in an extremely embarrassing manner.
Peng Jinlong died in the dark night that day, trying to gain this advantage. However, Lu Qian's internal martial arts power was more than a slight difference between the evil stars. He was in danger frequently during a few moves. When he rolled on the ground, he suddenly felt a hard object behind him. Then he remembered that the dog-beating stick was still hidden on him. For the beggars, when he saw the stick, he immediately pulled out his hand, and with a "clang" sound, he opened the crutch, flipped the point and flipped it to Yu Shuanglin. Yu Shuanglin's face changed, and he jumped backwards and shouted: "Stop! What a shameless little thief, where did you steal this dog-beating stick?"
Lu Qian said: "A real man is open and honest, how can he do something stealing? Since the token was personally given to the prince, the token is also a gift from the elder Peng of the dog." Yu Shuanglin said angrily: "It's nonsense! How could Elder Peng join you in filth?"
Lu Qian said: "He is very wise. Seeing that the situation is urgent, he has been constantly in order to protect the Beggars' Sect's lineage, and he is in danger and asks me to hand over the dog-beating stick to the leader." Elder Peng led the Beggars' Sect's disciples to encircle and suppress the Shadow Sect. It is reasonable that people should send people to communicate with each other regardless of whether they are successful or not. There has been no news for a long time, and the people in the gang were very worried. At this time, he heard from him, and another Huazi hurriedly said: "Where is Elder Peng now?"
Lu Qian lowered his eyebrows, so he said in a sad voice: "Elder Peng has died for the gang, and he died terrible. All the brothers in the gang were killed. The murderer was the 'Corrupt Evil Star' and died in the dark night. Therefore, our common enemy is the Shadow Demon Sect!" He spoke generously, and the transformed son wandered around and said to Yu Shuanglin in a low voice: "Elder Yu, we can eliminate evil spirits, but we can't wrongly accuse the good people. Why don't you take him to meet the gang leader? The gang leader is very careful and whether this kid is lying, you will know if he asks you."
Yu Shuanglin pondered for a while. After all, he was not a person who was right or wrong. He was worried that he would delay the big matter on impulse, so he greeted: "Boy, just follow us."
Lu Qian followed the crowd of Huazi and entered an abandoned hut. This was indeed an excellent hiding place. If there was no guidance from someone, no one would pay attention to this hidden place. A tall middle-aged man with a messy hair in the house turned around with his hands and his face was full of sorrow. Yu Shuanglin stepped forward and called out, "Gangmaster!" He said a few words in his ear. The gangmaster's eyes lit up and waved to Lu Qian, "Nephew, come here." His tone was much more kind than Yu Shuanglin. Lu Qian was also a sleek person. He went up to see him according to courtesy, and was extremely respectful.
The gang leader said, "Is it that you have seen Elder Peng's death with your own eyes?" Lu Qian said, "That's right. My nephew belongs to Kunlun Sect, and he is with his master. His master and his disciples of major sects set up an ambush in the wild to attack the Demon Sect. Unexpectedly, he was 'out of the crowd' and was unable to defeat the few'. Later, he saw two senior brothers and sisters of the Huashan Sect..."
The gang leader said strangely: "Huashan Sect? Meng Anying, the leader of Huashan, has always been unrelated to himself. He is stubborn and disregards his companions' loyalty. I haven't heard of them participating in the operation this time!" Lu Qian said: "Huashan Sect is not helping each other. He just regrets that his nephew is blind. When he saw them, he immediately stepped forward to talk to him and was captured to seek credit. The Demon Sect is all those who are competing for the flames and accompanies the power. This time he went to Tongguan to help the thieves and handed over my Ming Dynasty to foreign enemies. The nephew died for a lifetime and gained the trust of the marshal and deceived him into robbing him of the token to escape."
The gang leader sighed: "I really know people but not my heart. Originally, I and Chief Meng have always been in a good relationship with the Beggars of China. The Huashan Beggars' Sect have had hundreds of years of friendship. But since this old man has acted in this way, he instructed his disciples to commit crimes and cause trouble. Anyone with a good man cannot forgive him! Ten days later, all heroes gathered in the sword discussion forest to hold a hero conference. We should defeat the majesty of the Huashan Sect!" The disciples in the gang were filled with indignation and responded in unison.
Lu Qian secretly liked it and thought to himself: "If you conquer the Beggars' Sect, you can cultivate it as a gang, which will be another great help to me." Fang Yu shouted, but a few extremely low-pressure coughs came from the room. The gang leader frowned slightly and said, "Elder Yu, please give him some more food." Yu Shuanglin took the order. Seeing Lu Qian's inquiry look on his face, the gang leader smiled faintly and said, "A few days ago, the brothers in the gang saved a man. It seemed that he had just fought with a powerful opponent, which was both internal and external, and his injuries were really serious. Fortunately, he had some internal strength cultivation. We should use our abilities to heal him. Now it is much better."
Lu Qian said: "I have internal strength... I may be a martial arts man, can I introduce it to my nephew?" The gang leader said: "Okay, if you really know it, that's great. We are worried that we can't settle him."
The cough came from the corner of the house. A man was lying down in the dark, with a haggard face. Yu Shuanglin was feeding him with a bowl of rice. When Lu Qianchu saw this person, he became more and more familiar with him. He squatted down and held his drooping shoulders, pushed apart the broken hair on his face, looked at him intently, and couldn't help but blurted out, "Master?"
It turned out that the man was the head of Kongtong. He failed to rob the robbery before, but instead joined forces to attack Li Yijie and Cui Biao Head. Although he saved his life with the plum blossom robbery, he was already severely injured. He wanted to go back to the scene and rest in order to wait for a comeback, but he finally fainted on the corner of the street due to lack of energy. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Beggars' disciples and fed him every day by Yu Shuanglin.
But the people in the Beggars' Sect ate leftover soup and rice, and the ones they gave him were like this. They had no nourishment and nourishment. They were always weak and weak. I was afraid that they would meet a strong enemy again in the world and had to stay in the broken house to rest. He was the lord of the head of a sect and had always paid attention to the famous master. The unknown junior disciples like Yu Luqian were naturally unaware of it and asked: "Who are you?"
Lu Qian said happily: "My nephew Kunlun Lu Qian, please see the head of Kongtong Sect!" After hearing this, the gang leader and Yu Shuanglin both came forward and bowed to him.
