Huang Rong said: "Brother Lei, now you have only two ways to go. The first way is not to participate in the ceremony, just find a reason to run away. The second way is to propose not to accept such a ceremony, but you want the Beggar Clan to agree.
, then the only option is to offer conditions that the Beggar Gang cannot refuse. Whether it is coercion, inducement, or favors to the Beggar Gang."
Shi Lei said: "The first one definitely won't work. If you really run away, even if you become the leader of the Beggar Clan, you won't be able to convince the public. It seems that the only thing you can do is have a good chat with Qi Gong. At the worst, you can really intimidate him."
Now there is no other way. And Shi Lei believes that Qi Gong is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things. Shi Lei immediately enters the Hangzhou branch of the Beggar Clan with a dog-beating stick in hand and asks them to inform Qi Gong.
Three days later, Shi Lei and the others finally met Hong Qigong again. The group got a private room in the best restaurant in Hangzhou and ordered many of Hong Qigong's favorite dishes.
"Well, not bad, not bad, delicious!" Hong Qigong's mouth was full of oil, and then asked: "Now that we talk about it, why are you so anxious to find an old beggar?"
Shi Lei filled a glass of wine for Qi Gong and said with a smile: "Qi Gong, I just want to discuss something with you."
"Well, tell me, what's the matter?"
"Qi Gong, do you think there is a step in taking over as the leader of the Beggar Clan that requires being spit on by the members of the Beggar Clan?"
Hong Qigong said with a smile: "Yes, and this part is the main ingredient. Everything else doesn't matter. This part is indispensable. What? It's unacceptable."
Huang Rong giggled at this time and interrupted: "Qi Gong, your gang's rules are too strict to eliminate people. Besides, Brother Lei is not an ordinary person, so he cannot accept such a ceremony!"
Hong Qigong chuckled: "Tell me, little girl, why is he so different?"
"Brother Lei is going to compete for the world now. He is very likely to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future. If that happens, it will be uncomfortable for the Beggar Clan to be caught in this situation. After all, Han Xin was humiliated under the crotch in ancient times and it has been passed down through the ages. If others know about it in the future
The beggar gang actually spit on the ancestor of a dynasty. So what's the point?
Qi Gong must understand that the King of Hell is easy to mess with, but the kid is difficult to deal with. In the future, when Brother Lei achieves great things, even if he doesn't care about this matter, will the people below not care?"
"Hey, you little girl, you talk with a gun and a stick." Hong Qigong smiled and looked at Shi Lei: "What do you think?"
Shi Lei smiled lightly and replied: "First of all, I don't want to accept this ceremony. Then there are only two ways to solve this problem.
The first way is to ask Qi Gong to help me. As long as you say a word, I can become the leader of the Beggar Clan without having to undergo such a ceremony.
The second way is, I will return the dog-beating stick to Qi Gong. If Qi Gong is interested, we can definitely become partners. For example, I need information about the Beggar Clan, and I need the brothers from the Beggar Clan to help me promote something. These are all things we
possible directions for cooperation.
If Qi Gong thinks it is not necessary, then I believe that even without the Beggar Gang, I can still overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty court, I can still keep the enemy out of the country, I believe I can still regain the lost territory, I believe I can still make China prosperous and powerful,
It can fulfill my ideal."
"Hahaha, you are ambitious, not bad!" Hong Qigong wiped his greasy hands directly on his body, and said with a smile: "That's all. I am not an unreasonable person. I am a beggar. In this case, such a ceremony
It’s okay not to hold it!”
"Thank you Qi Gong!"
"Hahaha, you'll cover the food expenses for these three days! And you'll go to the palace with me a few more times. I miss the delicious food there."
Shi Lei smiled and nodded: "No problem, Qi Gong can eat whatever he wants, only what is available in the world. I will definitely get it for you."
Huang Rong blinked: "Qi Gong, Ronger's cooking is very delicious! Why don't you let Ronger cook and give you a few delicious meals?"
"Oh? The food on Peach Blossom Island is really good. I just want to see how successful you are."
Huang Rong said: "According to dad, my mother used to be very good at cooking. She also tried her best to hand over those dishes to the people on the island. That's why Taohua Island's delicacies can catch the eyes of Qi Gong. But my cooking skills are Huang Rong's.
I am definitely better than what I cooked. The food I cook is definitely better than the food Qi Gong said he would eat on Peach Blossom Island!"
"Really!" Hong Qigong chuckled: "That old beggar is really in for a treat."
In the next three days, Huang Rong cooked. Each dish was different. And the cooking skills were indeed as she said. Compared with the dishes on Taohua Island, they were better than the ones on Peach Blossom Island. Even though Qi Gong had eaten all over the world.
The food was also highly praised, saying it was even better than the royal chefs in the palace.
Because Huang Rong's dishes were late, Qi Gong did not drag Shi Lei into the palace.
Mu Nianci also wanted to see Shi Lei and Qi Gong eating so happily. They also began to pester Huang Rong to learn cooking skills. Huang Rong did not suffer, Mu Nianci taught her martial arts.
Mu Nianci has been following Shi Lei for so many years. It is impossible that Shi Lei has not taught him anything. Whether it is peerless swordsmanship like Dugu Nine Swords or peerless light skills like crossing the river with a reed, Shi Lei has taught Mu Nianci.
Although he is not good at learning, the current Mu Nianci is definitely not comparable to the Kung Fu of the three-legged cat in the original work. And his Kung Fu is definitely better than that of Huang Rong.
There was nothing special to say about the Beggar Clan's succession ceremony. Hong Qigong basically summoned all the important people of the Beggar Clan. Then with the support of Hong Qigong, Shi Lei easily secured his position as the leader of the Beggar Clan.
Shi Lei immediately issued several orders. The first one was to order each branch of the Beggar Clan to send at least two middle- and high-level cadres to Xiangyang to study.
The second order is to set up a professional intelligence agency of the Beggar Gang. The main exploration targets are the movements of any major forces and military forces in the Song Dynasty. The Jin Kingdom’s military intelligence and military intelligence, as well as the grassland Mongolia, must also be investigated. And these investigations have to
All the information will be collected in the intelligence agency.
The third one was not an order. Instead, it asked them to choose people who had read books to go to major restaurants to tell stories and become storytellers. And Shi Lei threw a copy of Journey to the West to them on the spot.
Mainly these three aspects. But it is not easy to set up an intelligence agency. Fortunately, Shi Lei caught Qigong and refused to let him leave at this time.
After all, Qi Gong has been the leader of the Beggar Clan for decades. Naturally, he has many confidants. He also naturally knows that those people are absolutely reliable. With Qi Gong's assistance, Shi Lei decisively selected these people to establish the main structure.
To be honest, Shi Lei really didn't intend to use these people in the Beggar Clan to fight in the war. At most, he would only use some of them to voluntarily serve as soldiers when the soldiers were nervous.
Moreover, they must be trained by the military before they can be sent out to fight. Otherwise, they will really be just a bunch of ragtag mobs.
