Just after the Winter Solstice, Elder Liang and Elder Jian from the Jingyi Sect of the Beggar Clan came to Kaifeng City.

They came to invite Mu Nianci to attend the Beggar Clan Conference held on Dongting Lake. This Beggar Clan Conference had two topics. One was to elect a new gang leader, and the other was to avenge the gang leader, because the Beggar Clan received a senior monk from Tianlong Temple in Dali.

The news came that Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, had unfortunately passed away in Tianlong Temple one month ago.

Yang Kang knew what happened earlier. He learned about it through Peng Lianhu.

After Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Ke killed Li Sheng of the beggar gang, they came to Taoyuan County in western Hunan. Under the guidance of Peng Lianhu, they found the mountain where Nan Di lived in seclusion.

Seriously injured, he escaped all the way south under the rescue of Nan Di and his disciples. Ouyang Feng then pursued him, and finally started a big showdown at Tianlong Temple in Dali.

In the Tianlong Temple, Master Yideng and seven other Tianlong Temple monks formed a sword formation with Yiyang Finger and injured Xidu Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng and his son fled the Tianlong Temple in Dali in a hurry and returned to the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions to recuperate.

Although the sword manual of the Duan family in Dali has been lost for a long time, according to the notes of ancestors, several people can simulate the power of the Six-meridian Divine Sword by working together. This is the same as the Tiangang Beidou Formation of the Quanzhen Sect.

They are all combined attack techniques that gather the power of many people to attack one person.

Yang Kang was quite helpless when he received the news. Countless unexpected situations would always happen in this world. However, the message sent back by Peng Lianhu did not contain the news of Hong Qigong's death. There was only the news of Ouyang Feng's defeat. The bandit leader took the beggar by the way.

The gang's dog-beating stick was given to His Majesty the Emperor. This dog-beating stick was obtained by Ouyang Feng when he killed Li Sheng. Xidu did not have the habit of collecting trophies, so he threw it to Peng Lianhu.

Based on the news from the beggar gang this time, it seems that Hong Qigong, a northern beggar, died in Tianlong Temple after being injured by Ouyang Feng.

The death of Hong Qigong made the differences between the dirty clothes and clean clothes factions of the Beggar Clan more obvious. Lu Youjiao succeeded Li Sheng to temporarily manage the affairs of the Beggar Clan. However, his qualifications were still relatively young. Although he had a high reputation among the disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect,

Not favored by the disciples of the Jingyi Sect, Elders Liang and Jian of the Jingyi Sect have sufficient qualifications, but they lack a bit of prestige. If Peng Sihai is still alive, and Li Sheng dies, Elder Peng will take over the Beggar Gang.

There is no objection.

The Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect were arguing endlessly, so Lu Youjiao proposed to hold a Beggar Clan meeting on Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake, gathering more than five bags of Beggar Clan disciples to jointly elect a new leader. This is why Elders Liang and Jian invited Mu Nian

The reason why Ci went there was that the two elders of the Beggar Clan knew that they might not be chosen, but they were unwilling to give up the position of gang leader to the dirty clothes faction, so they had no choice but to take Mu Nianci's idea.

Mu Nianci is a direct disciple of Hong Qigong. She succeeded Elder Peng in managing the affairs of Jiangbei Beggar Clan. Coupled with her special status in the Jin Kingdom, she protected many Beggar Clan disciples. She was very prestigious in the Jingyi Sect and was a new member of the Beggar Clan.

A strong contender for gang leader, Mu Nianci handles matters very fairly despite his young age, and this is widely recognized among the Filthy Clothes Sect.

While His Majesty the Emperor was comforting Mu Nianci who was sad to hear that Hong Qigong passed away, he was thinking about it in his mind.

No matter how you look at this matter, there is a hint of weirdness in it. Yang Kang has never been afraid to speculate on others with the worst malice, or to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Judging from all the information, Hong Qigong did not die suddenly.

He died in Tianlong Temple in Dali, with Master Deng and other eminent monks from Tianlong Temple beside him. Didn’t he designate the successor to the leader of the Beggar Clan before he died?

Northern Beggar should have thought that the Beggar Gang would fall into turmoil after his death, so it would be particularly important to determine the new gang leader in advance. However, Tianlong Temple only received news of Hong Qigong's death, and nothing else. This is a bit intriguing.

Yang Kang could feel the conspiracy in it. He remembered the old story of Wang Chongyang who faked his own death and deceived Ouyang Feng. What if Hong Qigong also faked his own death? This was most likely a plot jointly made by the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar to let the Beggar

The gang first becomes turbulent, and everyone's motives can be seen clearly in this mess. Once things get out of hand, Hong Qigong will step in to take control of the overall situation, clean out the remaining scum in the gang, and completely clean up the gang.

This is a tactic often played by those in power, and His Majesty the Emperor is well aware of it.

But what if Hong Qigong is really dead?

This is undoubtedly the best time to take control of the Beggar Gang. Otherwise, once Lu Youjiao becomes the leader of the Beggar Gang, the Beggar Gang will completely lean towards Mongolia and become the mortal enemy of the Jin Kingdom. This is not in the interest of His Majesty the Emperor. Northern Beggar’s

Life and death are the key to this Beggar Clan Junshan Conference, and Yang Kang can feel that this game is aimed at him.

His Majesty the Emperor put himself in their shoes. Hong Qigong and Master Yideng would definitely guess why Ouyang Feng went to their hermitage. Needless to say, someone must have told Ouyang Feng the news. Obviously, the Emperor of Jin who knew about it became

The Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar were the biggest suspects, which meant that the Emperor was plotting against the Beggar Clan, so Hong Qigong followed the trend and used his plan to fake death to allow the Emperor to get involved.

Western poison is really weak.

Yang Kang sighed, if Ouyang Feng had killed Hong Qigong directly, he wouldn't have had to guess so hard. Now Mu Nianci has not suspected that Hong Qigong's death was related to him, otherwise it would be another troublesome matter, His Majesty the Emperor

I was thinking about whether to intervene in this matter or whether to give up this opportunity and let Mu Nianci do what he wanted to do freely.

What this game tests is people's hearts and desires.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor decided that even if this was a puzzle, he would give it a try and see who could arrange it more cleverly. If it didn't work, he would use the general trend to crush it. The so-called general trend refers to the government of the Song Dynasty. In the end, Jianghu

It's just a corner of the country, and the power in Yang Kang's hands is where the general trend lies.

Mu Nianci left Kaifeng City accompanied by two elders of the Beggar Clan. Immediately afterwards, Yang Kang asked Rong Wang Wanyan Hongxi for leave on the grounds of practicing in seclusion. He had not yet taken charge and could move around freely. Even if he took charge, he could still go out.

After understanding the sentiments of the people, His Majesty the Emperor slipped out of Kaifeng City alone and began his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the Tianlong Temple in Dali, Master Yideng sat face to face with a man. Nan Di looked a little tired, while the man opposite was deep in thought. He opened his eyes after a long time.

"Are you really sure it was him who did it, and not someone from the Beggar Clan who leaked the news?" the man confirmed.

"Brother Yao, this matter is already clear." Master Yideng said calmly, "Ouyang Feng came from Zhongdu, and the Iron Palm Gang played a role in pulling the strings. Elder Li and the poor monk of the Beggar Clan have seen him before. He is a hero who would rather die than surrender.

This time the Beggar Gang facilitated the alliance between Song and Meng, and the emperor was afraid that he was dissatisfied, so he would take such cruel measures."

"I have already said that this plan will go wrong, but the seventh brother insists on going his own way, and now..." the man sighed.

"This is a thing of the past. I still need to trouble Brother Yao to make a trip to Junshan. If everything is fine, that's all. If the emperor insists on intervening in the Beggar Gang's affairs, I hope Brother Yao can sort it out." Master Yideng
