While Yang Kang was looking forward to meeting Cheng Yaojia, Hou Tonghai was working hard at Baoying.

Half a month ago, he had a hearty drink at a restaurant in Kaifeng City, returned to Prince Zhao's Mansion drunk, and then ran all the way to Jiangnan in a daze. He still has not figured out what happened that day.

Didn't the little princess come out to welcome him at that time? Those thieves were so abominable that they just kidnapped the little princess from his hands. Couldn't they have done it later?

It was such a bad year. Hou Tonghai spat hard on the ground and looked at the ruined temple not far away. At this time, there were many beggars gathered there. Each beggar was sitting cross-legged on the ground, saying nothing.

After saying this, Hou Tonghai knew that they were going to hold a Beggar Clan meeting and were waiting for important people to arrive.

Hou Tonghai followed the soldiers of Prince Zhao's Mansion to chase out of Kaifeng City, chasing the thieves all the way. Gradually, the soldiers could not keep up, and only Hou Tonghai was left alone.

He originally wanted to go back. The Beggar Gang had a great reputation in the world. It was not comparable to a bandit organization like the Yellow River Gang. Moreover, the Beggar Gang had many experts. Even if he rushed forward and risked his life, he could not save the little princess.

But he would definitely be punished when he returned. What puzzled him the most was that the blind maid in the palace was actually the Black Wind Shuangsha who had long since disappeared from the world. They were big demons who used human lives to practice their martial arts.

For a time, the impression that Prince Zhao's Mansion gave him became gloomy. Who knew what kind of monsters were hidden in the Prince's Mansion? It would be bad if he was tortured by such a monster.

Under the influence of this emotion, he decided to pursue him. Firstly, he might be able to get away with it, and secondly, he also wanted to escape. The pursuit lasted for more than ten days.

In order to facilitate tracking, he took off the clothes of a disaster victim who returned home and put it on himself, pretending to be a disaster victim. At this time, the victims had not dispersed. His dress was not conspicuous, and the disaster victim was almost the same as a beggar.

Not easy to identify.

On the way to the south, Hou Tonghai did not expect that he would get mixed up with the beggar gang. His costume as a disaster victim and his unusual appearance gave him a lot of points and won the sympathy of some beggars.

In order to cope with Wanyan Honglie's large-scale raids on the Beggar Gang in Jiangbei, some Beggar Gang disciples lurked on the spot, put on clean clothes and worked as waiters in shops, while other Beggar Gang disciples began to move south one after another.

This is only temporary. Once this round of rigorous investigation has passed, these disciples will return to Jiangbei and continue their underground work.

Hou Tonghai mingled among the disciples of the Beggar Clan who had moved south. Among them was an old beggar named Sanbao, who saw how pitiful he was and was willing to be his introducer and let him join the Beggar Clan.

As a large-scale social organization with a large number of personnel, a strict structure, and clear hierarchies, the Beggar Clan has a strict management system.

Their status is determined by the number of bags they carry. One to three bags belong to the lower-level disciples. Their main jobs are begging, spying on intelligence, passing information, etc.

Four bags to six bags are middle-level managers, who arrange certain affairs according to their personal abilities. For example, Lu Youjiao was a disciple of Wu bag, so he took the post of incense master in Kaifeng. If he could successfully advance to a disciple of six bags, he could

When you become a helmsman, your management area will also be greatly expanded.

Seven bags to nine bags are senior managers and are awarded the position of elders.

There is also a difference. The Qipao elders are almost the same as the helmsman. They are talents with the potential to cultivate. The Babao elders truly hold real power. The ninth generation elders are generally honorary and serve those who retreat behind the scenes.

An honorific title for the elders of the Beggar Clan.

Of course, the biggest one is the leader of the Beggar Clan. He does not need to carry a cloth bag, but only needs to hold the dog-beating stick that symbolizes the supreme power of the Beggar Clan. This is similar to the emperor's seal.

If you want to enter the Beggar Clan and become a disciple, you must be introduced by a disciple of the Beggar Clan. It would be reckless for people like Tuo Lei and Guo Jing to run over directly. Even if someone introduces them, it will take a period of observation. However, there are exceptions to everything. If someone is

If an elder or gang leader nods directly, there is no need to observe.

Hou Tonghai was facing this situation at this time. He was waiting to be introduced into the Beggar Clan. Currently, as a peripheral member of the Beggar Clan, he was not qualified to participate in the Beggar Clan Conference. He could only wait at a distance and be responsible for vigilance work.

Regarding this change, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. His senior brother always said that he had no brains. How could he join the beggar gang without a brain? Can he do such a big thing without a brain? He must brag about it when he meets his senior brother in the future.

Fan.

When Hou Tonghai was dreaming about being proud in front of Sha Tongtian, two old beggars came from a distance.

The two old beggars seemed to be walking very slowly, but Hou Tonghai was stunned when they passed by him and went straight to the ruined temple.

When the disciples of the Beggar Clan who were sitting in front of the ruined temple saw the two coming, they picked up the bamboo sticks in their hands and started beating them regularly. This was a courtesy reserved for welcoming important figures in the gang, and it was the same as playing music when the leader inspected.

Before the two old beggars came to the ruined temple, one of them waved his hand, and the beggar below stopped knocking. The old beggar who waved his hand was Elder Li Shengli, the elder of the Eight Bags of the Beggar Clan, nicknamed the Jiangdong Snake King.

Jiangdong originally refers to the territory of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it refers to the Jiangnan East Road, most of southern Jiangsu including Jiankang Prefecture. The Snake King refers to him who makes a living by playing snakes while traveling around the rivers and lakes. Of course, snakes

It is also his attack weapon.

As one of the elders of the powerful Beggars Clan, Li Sheng is responsible for affairs in Jiangsu.

At this time, a slumped-looking beggar walked out of the ruined temple. It was Lu Youjiao, a five-pocket disciple of the beggar gang who helped Tuo Lei and three other children escape in Kaifeng half a month ago.

Lu Youjiao didn't expect that things would become such a big deal. He didn't know what happened in Kaifeng until he was escaping. Just because of his decision, thousands of Beggar Clan disciples died overnight. This huge pressure made him almost

He collapsed. If he hadn't taken the child out of danger at that time, he would have had the urge to run back and fight for his life.

Li Sheng looked at Lu Youjiao's decadent expression and sighed in his heart. He had always been very optimistic about this junior. If another ten years passed, Lu Youjiao would become the mainstay of the dirty clothes sect, but now...

"When will the gang leader arrive? I want to die to apologize to his old man." Lu Youjiao said in pain.

"I don't know yet. The gang leader said he would remove your tails for you, and he will arrive soon." Li Sheng patted Lu Youjiao's shoulder and comforted him, "The responsibility is not yours this time. The Wanyan dog thief has just arrived in Kaifeng. In order to deter him,

In the Jiangbei martial arts world, one must be stabbed, but you just happened to hit the edge of the knife."

At this time, Hou Tonghai didn't know that the tail in Li Sheng's words was referring to him. He suddenly felt that his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
