Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty Five [Beggar Gang Discussions] (Part 2)
Jian Rongxin blushed and said: "How can there be such a coincidence in this world..." Her voice was like a gnat. If it weren't for Hu Xiaotian's extraordinary hearing, he would hardly be able to hear what she was saying.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you questioning my ability?"
Jian Rong was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She was born in a scholarly family and married Li Chenzhou after marriage. Although Li Chenzhou was a hypocrite, he was also polite on the surface. When had he ever encountered a tired person like Hu Xiaotian?
A lazy person can really say anything, but when Jian Rongxin heard it in her ears, instead of feeling disgusted, it made her heart beat fast. Even Jian Rongxin herself didn't realize what happened to her in the past two days.
Hu Xiaocai was her man in the true sense, and it was he who turned her into a real woman.
Jian Rongxin whispered: "Even if it does happen... it's my own business..." Her tone was weak and weak, and she almost lost the ability to resist in the face of Hu Xiaotian's rogue offensive.
Hu Xiaotian said: "That's not possible. If it does happen, it will be half of yours and half of mine. You can't deprive me of my right to be a father, let alone decide that a child will never see his father."
Jian Rongxin mustered up the courage to raise her head and glare at him, but Hu Xiaotian still smiled heartlessly.
Jian Rong thought: "You are shameless!"
Hu Xiaotian actually nodded and said: "It's always been like this."
"I hate you!" Jian Rongxin gritted her teeth, trying her best to appear vicious.
Hu Xiaotian hugged her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply. Jian Rong struggled in her heart: "I would rather die...well..."
"For the sake of our unborn child, you should stay strong and survive..."
Li Chenzhou looked around the study, his face turned green. He could conclude that the person who sneaked into the study must be his wife Jian Rongxin, and the person who rescued her must be Hu Xiaotian. Thinking of this, his heart felt as uncomfortable as being bitten by a poisonous snake.
.Although he never really valued Jian Rongxin, he only regarded her as a gorgeous ornament and a tool for use. But when he thought of Jian Rongxin and Hu Xiaotian being together, he still felt jealous in his heart.
The samurai who was searching on the side came to him and reported: "To the Governor, only the pens are missing, and there is no lack of other items."
Li Chenzhou nodded slowly. His eyebrows were furrowed tightly. He really couldn't figure it out. Jian Rongxin entered the scholar's house at night just to take away her father's pen? It shouldn't be that simple. Li Chenzhou had just just now
He realized that he didn't know much about Jian Xihe and his daughter. He had always regarded Jian Xihe as the Queen Mother's best friend, and Jian Rongxin as a submissive little sheep. Now it seems that they don't understand him just as much.
I don't understand their world either.
"Grand Governor, we have sent people to investigate. I believe there will be news soon."
Li Chenzhou pursed his lips and made a quick decision in his heart: "Forget it, since nothing important has been lost, there is no need to mobilize troops. Yongdu has only been at peace for a few days, and I don't want anyone to take advantage of this to cause trouble."
"yes!"
The death of Xue Zhenhai shocked the entire Beggar Gang. Mu Shusheng, the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Gang, and Meng Guangxiong, the leader of the Xiezhou branch of the Beggar Gang, and their entourage arrived in Yongdu one after another. In fact, they were not here for a funeral. The two led a group of gang masters early in the morning.
They had set out a month ago. They were invited by Xue Zhenhai to go north together to eradicate the rebellion of the gang. However, they did not expect that Xue Zhenhai had been killed before the reinforcements arrived.
The Jiangbei branch of the Beggar Gang split under the instigation of Shangguan Tianhuo and his son. This was the first time since the Beggar Gang established its sect. For the Beggar Gang, this matter was already intolerable, not to mention the murder of a heavyweight.
matter.
The sky is bright, and the Yiqi Village in the west of Yongdu City is already bustling with people. Since last night, more than 200 Beggar Clan disciples have come here to gather together. One is to mourn the death of Xue Zhenhai and other three Beggar Clan elders, and the other is to gather together.
Let's discuss the big plan together, discuss how to avenge the elders, and how to regain the Jiangbei branch.
While a group of Beggar Clan disciples were discussing, Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming arrived. Upon hearing that Hu Xiaotian had arrived in person, Mu Shusheng, the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Clan, led everyone out of the hall to greet them.
When Hu Xiaotian saw Mu Shusheng's arrival, he clasped his fists and saluted from a distance: "Elder Mu, please come and be well!"
Mu Shusheng said with a sad face: "Thanks to the young master, the old beggar is still in good health." After meeting him, he introduced the people behind him to Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian had never seen these backbones of the Beggar Gang, but
He had collaborated with Meng Guangxiong in Xichuan and was quite familiar with him. He also knew that Meng Guangxiong had outstanding intelligence and was a rare wise general.
After meeting everyone, he first went to the mourning hall to burn incense in front of the three elders' tablets. After what happened last night, he followed Mu Shusheng to the flower hall to drink tea. The person accompanying Mu Shusheng was none other than Meng Guangxiong. This shows that
This person's status in the Beggar Clan.
Mu Shusheng said: "Master Hu, I heard that you were at the scene when Elder Xue and others were killed?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's true. It's a pity that I was a step too late and couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening."
Mu Shusheng sighed and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, and some things cannot be undone by human power. The only blame is Shangguan Yun's ambition and ruthless tactics!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "At that time, I heard news that someone would be harmful to Yuchi Chong on the way, so I rushed over to lend a helping hand. I didn't expect that Elder Xue and the others were also there."
Mu Shusheng frowned and said, "We, the Beggar Gang, had no relationship with Yuchi Chong before. Why did Elder Xue and the others show up at the assassination scene?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I think Shangguan Yunchong deliberately set up a plan to lure Elder Xue and others to the scene of the assassination, and then executed them. The original intention was to create the illusion of a fierce fight between the two sides, but it failed because of my appearance.
.”
Mu Shusheng wondered: "What are the benefits of doing this? If Dayong becomes an enemy of the Beggar Clan because of this, it will not be of any benefit to him and Jiangbei Branch."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It is not good for Jiangbei Fenduo, but it is not without good for him. After what happened, I followed Shangguan Yunchong all the way and found that he had a secret meeting with the Black Hu people."
"What?" Mu Shusheng's eyes widened in anger. The Beggar Clan did not intervene in the disputes between the Central Plains countries, but they hated the Black Hus. One of the rules of the Beggar Clan was that the disciples of the Beggar Clan were not allowed to associate with the Black Hus. Shangguan Yunchong
Doing so is tantamount to deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
Meng Guangxiong said aside: "So Shangguan Yunchong doesn't care about the beggar gang at all? Is he a spy of Black Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Mu Shusheng and said, "As for the relationship between Shangguan father and son and Black Hu, I have to ask Elder Mu."
Mu Shusheng smiled bitterly and said: "How would I know? Shangguan Tianhuo has been a member of the gang for more than thirty years, and I don't know his origin." He did not lie. The disciples of the Beggar Clan come from all over the world, and most of them are unknown.
If you have a family and a job, no one will join a gang of beggars.
Meng Guangxiong said: "Shangguan father and son colluded with the Black Hu people, killed the brothers in the gang, and ruined the reputation of our beggar gang. These people who deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors must be punished by everyone!"
Mu Shusheng asked: "Master Hu, does he know their whereabouts?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head. Ever since his fight with Gambado that day, he had already lost the whereabouts of Shangguan Yunchong. Firstly, it was because Shangguan Yunchong was cunning and his whereabouts were secretive. Secondly, his focus was not on finding Shangguan Yunchong.
On the body.
Mu Shusheng's face showed disappointment.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Elder Mu, I can understand your eagerness for revenge, but you still need to calm down and think about it in the long term. The top priority is not to eradicate Shangguan Tianhuo and his son, but to recover the Jiangbei Beggar Clan."
Meng Guangxiong nodded and said: "Elder, what Mr. Hu said is absolutely true. The Jiangbei branch still doesn't know about the collusion between Shangguan and his son and the Black Hu people. If the truth is known, I think the disciples in the gang will definitely not want to join them."
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised in his heart. As early as the Xichuan incident, he felt that Meng Guangxiong was an extraordinary person. Now that we meet again, it is indeed the case. This man, like An Zhai and Zhu Ba, is a leader among the younger generation of the Beggar Clan. He must fight with them.
A good relationship will lay a solid foundation for Long Xiyue to rule the Beggar Clan in the future.
Mu Shusheng sighed and said: "It is not easy to regain the Jiangbei branch!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It is indeed not easy, but it is not too difficult. Shangguan Tianhuo and his son no longer dare to appear in public. Firstly, he is afraid that we will seek revenge from him. Secondly, he also offended Li Chenzhou in Dayong."
Mu Shusheng said in surprise: "How could he offend Li Chenzhou? Didn't their father and son make a special trip to Dayong to join Li Chenzhou? Li Chenzhou is their backer!"
Meng Guangxiong said: "Young Master Hu is right. Shangguan Yunchong probably had his own plans. This assassination of Yuchichong may not have been authorized by Li Chenzhou. If he made his own decision, he would definitely offend Li Chenzhou this time. If he didn't
If he dares to appear in public, we will just spread the news that he is colluding with the Black Hu people. Although the Jiangbei branch is dissatisfied with the gang leader, they may not be willing to submit to the Black Hu people, let alone be accused of betraying the interests of the Central Plains."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Meng's analysis is good."
Mu Shusheng nodded and said: "No matter what, we cannot let the Jiangbei branch be led astray by Shangguan and his son."
Hu Xiaotian stayed in Yiqizhuang for about half an hour before he got up and left. Mu Shusheng sent him and Xia Changming out of the hall, and asked Meng Guangxiong to send them out of the village on his behalf. Xia Changming went out to get his mount first. Hu Xiaotian was outside the gate of Yiqizhuang.
He stopped and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, there is no need to send him far away. We have a hasty meeting today. If we have time another day, we, brothers, can find a place to have a good drink and talk happily."
Meng Guangxiong sighed and said: "The Beggar Clan is in a troubled time, and I'm afraid these days are beyond our reach."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm really ashamed that I couldn't help with Elder Xue's matter."
Today, the old octopus is not doing anything. He is concentrating on typing. If he can break into the top ten, there will be four updates today! Don’t misunderstand the old octopus. He is just putting some pressure on himself. I want to say that it is the fifth update, but I am afraid that I will not be able to write.
