In the early morning, inside Jinyiwei's guardhouse.
After the torment last night, everyone in the Hunyuan Star Gate naturally couldn’t sleep.
Afterwards, they returned to the guardhouse from the cemetery together with Lord Li Chongda and Bai Zhulongbai, and discussed the next countermeasures.
“Damn you, I’m really getting fucked now.” Sun Yixie started complaining, “Who would have thought that something that was already almost ‘finished’ would now be ruined because of a dead man? It's all a mess."
"Yeah..." Huang Donglai also added, "It turned out that it was quite convenient for us to act under the guise of 'investigating the case', because we could get at whoever we wanted... ...But now, the truth has been revealed. If we continue to 'beat' those big guys one by one, there will be no excuses."
"Hey~ I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing." It didn't seem to matter, "Now this matter has just gone in a circle and come back to the original place." He paused and then said, "Just think about it, now that the real murderer has been brought to justice, no one will raise any more questions. Objection, as for the candidate for the new leader, shouldn’t we just let those uncles choose one?”
“Bo Baotou, are you keeping things simple?” Sun Yixie said. , "This moment and that moment... If the real culprit was confirmed in the days after Mr. Gong's death, then they can naturally choose anyone at will. After the selection, the candidate for the new leader will be included in the funeral report of Mr. Gong. You can send it out; but the problem is that this matter has been delayed for too long now, and the most powerful groups on the Green Forest Road have gathered in Guangzhou... There is a saying that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away, this gang Everyone is here, and if the leader you choose doesn’t satisfy them all, they will definitely make excuses to make trouble.”
“That’s right,” Huang Donglai added, “But let’s make it happen. Everyone has nothing to say, that's impossible; whether it's Da Dai, Ah Ba, Zu Gang Leader, Brother Hao, or a few other big guys... whoever comes to power, others will find trouble, because they are We've already arrived in Guangzhou. It's all for nothing. If we make a fuss, we might be able to make some profit."
"Huh..." Bai Zhulong snorted coldly when he heard this. If you dare to open a dyeing workshop just by giving them some color, do they really think that my "Longmen First Sword" is just a decoration?"
"Okay, okay, You still want to take down half of the Green Forest Road? You don't want your life, but your brothers still want it." Li Chongda was still more stable than Bai Zhulong, and he poured it on Bai Zhulong in time. A basin of cold water.
"This... alas..." Bai Zhulong wanted to say a few more words, but he hesitated because after thinking about it, Master Li made sense; although he was "the second best person in the world" The martial arts skills of "God Catcher" are indeed not low, but a person's power is limited after all, and what can be done by relying solely on "force" is even more limited.
After a brief silence, Li Chongda still threw the question back to Shuangxie: "You two young heroes...are there really no other options? Li has always heard that the two of them are resourceful and have very strange ideas.This situation..."
"Master Li, you don't need to say anything, yes! " Huang Donglai interrupted loudly before the other party's process of wearing a high hat and playing a secret trick was completed, "Now that the matter has come to an end, I can only show my special skills. ”
“Whose cesspit are you going to blow up again? "This is Sun Yixie's first reaction.
Of course, it's not just him, Li Chongda, Bai Zhulong, as well as Linghuxiang, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan, Qin, who have been sitting next to him and haven't spoken to each other. The Feng Four’s first reaction was also this...
“Mao’s explosive cesspit! " Huang Donglai quickly denied, "I mean...'holding a competition'. "
"Competition? Sun Yixie could still keep up with Huang Donglai's thinking. He thought about it for a while and then asked, "What do you mean?" Each boss sends a thug to compete, and the one who comes first in the end becomes the leader? Why don't you leave this place to engage in the "Fist Will Destroy Knockout Tournament"? "
"What? What's wrong? "Huang Donglai said confidently, "As the saying goes, 'There is no second place in martial arts.' The first place determined by the competition cannot be said to be completely uncontroversial, but it must be more reliable than a bunch of old guys sitting together and arguing, right? Also, we can also deceive like this... just say what level of subordinates a eldest brother can receive to fight for him is also a consideration of his financial resources, connections, reputation and other comprehensive strength, so you should follow this direction. "
"Well..." Sun Yixiao said, "What you said... seems to make sense. "
After listening to the two of them talking about these messy things, Li Chongda straightened his thoughts and seemed to understand, then continued: "Let the bosses send their thugs to compete in the ring to decide who will win. Being the leader... Although this move is unheard of, if it can really happen, it would be good... at least it would be better than the overt and covert fighting between their gangs in the city. He paused for half a second, then changed the subject, "But... can they agree to this request?" "
"Is it important whether those people who want to compete for the top position agree or not? "Sun Yixie had already settled the accounts clearly at this time, so he immediately continued, "It's not them who choose. After the selection, they will definitely not be satisfied, so their opinions don't matter... What we really want is It was the uncles who got it done. "
When he said this, Huang Donglai also understood: "And those uncles undoubtedly also know... Choosing the leader is already a hot potato at this stage, and you have to choose no matter what. There was trouble, so we came to the door with the 'plan', and they were afraid they wouldn't even have time to thank us. ”
…………
The next day, at noon.
It’s still the same teahouse.
Today, those uncles But everyone was present, and even Deng Tianlin hired a sedan to carry him over from his home on the other side of the town.
Da Dai and Ah Bin gathered together with hundreds of their brothers. On the street in front of the teahouse, the Zhenyun Gang, Cangdu Gang, Tingfeng Tower and other powerful forcesDude, although I didn’t lead a team here, I also sent spies here.
Everyone is waiting for a result, and everyone knows that no matter whether they are selected or not, as soon as the result is announced, all parties in the city will immediately "start fighting" .
At three quarters past noon, three people came out of the teahouse door.
The one in the middle is Deng Tianlin, the representative of his uncles; and the people on either side of him...are actually Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?
Seeing these two guys, the young and Dangerous guys standing on the street were stunned. Our uncles from Green Forest Road are having a meeting to choose the leader. Why are you two going in to join in the fun? By the way, when did you go in?
"Everyone." Before everyone could calm down, Deng Tianlin spoke, "We have finished discussing..."
Although he spoke in a quiet voice, It was loud, but it immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. The originally noisy street suddenly became silent. Everyone pricked up their ears, for fear of mishearing or missing a word.
"Our Green Forest Way has been passed down like this for hundreds of years... It relies on courage, fights for justice, seeks wealth, and speaks truth." After all, Deng Tianlin has also been a leader. He is very familiar with giving speeches on such occasions, and all kinds of clichés are readily available to him. "The death of Longtou has caused earth-shaking and unrest. It has made many outsiders laugh; but in fact, the Longmen Gang also Well, regardless of the other gangs, we are all begging for food on the same road, so there is no need to make such a fuss...We, Green Forest, must value peace, and we must never cause comrades to kill each other just for this momentary dispute. , fight, so..." he said, looking around, "it's up to the two young heroes to talk next."
"Huh!" The next second, Huang Donglai took it. As soon as he started talking, his inner strength was revealed. Just the sound of clearing his throat made everyone's ears and hearts tremble, "So... after discussion and decision by the uncles of Green Forest Road, the candidate for the leader this time will be approved. The competition in the arena will be decided, and the rules are as shown in this notice..."
While he said this, Sun Yixie took out a scroll from behind and shook it open.
Immediately afterwards, a piece of paper filled with competition rules was presented in front of everyone.
Huang Donglai went on to say: "As the saying goes, it's up to people to plan things, and victory or defeat is up to heaven. If you are determined to compete for the leading position, study the rules carefully, and then do your best, and don't have any worries afterwards. Any remarks or actions that do not admit defeat..." When he said this, the other four people from the Hunyuan Star Gate also appeared from the teahouse one after another, and quietly came to stand behind them, "In order to be fair, impartial, and open, This time, your uncles have specially entrusted us, the Hunyuan Star Gate, to host this event. I think... you don't have any objections, right?"
Huang Donglai said this, who? Dare you have an opinion?
In terms of position, Hunyuan Stargate is neither a Green Forest gang nor an official status. It belongs to a third party and serves as the supervisor of the competition.There is no problem in supervising the work; in terms of power, they are among the most powerful martial arts gangs among the four sects and the three gangs; in addition, the two gangs Da Dai and Ah Bin present today have suffered heavy losses from Sun and Huang not long ago. Unfortunately...even if they have opinions, they don't dare to jump up and object in person.
"Uncle Deng...is this matter really the decision of the uncles?" But Ah Ba still moved forward tentatively and lowered his voice to ask Uncle Deng.
The subtext of his sentence is roughly that if you are kidnapped, just blink.
However, Uncle Deng replied in a tone that was almost impatient: "Of course, we are all relieved that the two young heroes are doing things. If you don't believe me, you can ask other old ghosts later." "Okay, okay, I have to go back to walk the dog, and I'll leave the rest to you."
When he said the last sentence, he patted Huang Donglai on the shoulder as a greeting. Then he waddled like a penguin towards a sedan next to the teahouse. The bearers beside the sedan seemed to have "More money! Fatty" written all over their faces. They saw him coming and felt in their hearts. I was full of helplessness, but there was nothing I could do. I had to finish the job I took on, not to mention that this guy looked like a green forest boss.
Afan saw that this matter was about to be decided, and his expression changed several times in a short period of time, and he didn’t know what he was planning.
The spies sent by Da La and other big guys were already staring at the "Rules of the Competition" in Sun Yixie's hand.
Of course, the rules here are just some "big rules" that you need to know during the registration stage. There are no "details", but the amount of information is already quite a lot.
For example, "Anyone with the word '地' or 'zhou' or above in the thirteen courses can sign up for the competition." "Each contestant can only name one contestant. ', no substitutions or substitutions are allowed midway unless there are special circumstances,' and 'the competition is a single-round knockout system, with no loser bracket and rematch,' etc., although there are some modern sports event terms that the ancients did not understand very well. words, but everyone can still understand the general meaning.
"We will hang this thing at the door of this teahouse. If you are interested, you can check it at any time or make a copy for yourself to take home and read slowly." Huang Donglai also knew that there were many spies from other gangs present. It was meant for them to hear, "If you have any questions or objections, Brother Sun and I will be sitting in this teahouse today and tomorrow. You can come up and ask... However, our time and energy are limited, so we only see 'in line with People who meet the registration requirements, that is to say, the leading candidate can come in person, but we will not accept people who send errands."
When he said this, there were already many spies. I wrote down the contents on the paper and ran back to report the news.
What’s strange is that even Ah Fan led his men away with a gloomy look on his face...
…………
An hour later , Aben's mansion.
After Ah Gen returned home, he hesitated for a long time and then went to the ancestral hall at home.
He asked his men to wait outside the door and walked in alone.
He walked to the spirit of his dead wife, bowed a few times, and then took out two things from a secret compartment under the latter’s spirit.
The first item is the account book of the Longmen Gang; the second item is a small wooden box containing a faucet stick.
A-Ban opened the wooden box, took out the faucet stick wrapped in a cloth bag, and untied the bag, revealing the upper part of the stick, and stared at it for a few seconds.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with ambition and greed, as if he wanted to carve the image of the stick into his eyes and mind forever... never to take it out again.
After a while, Ah Bin walked out of the ancestral hall.
"Find someone to take these two things and go north to my hometown, Linjia Village, to find a pawnshop owner named Lin Bang. Give it to him. He will know how to do it." He handed the account book to a confidant waiting by the door and said.
"Brother Ba, this...what if in the end..." The younger brother wanted to say, "What if you don't become the leader in the end, don't you still have to hand over these two things?", but he was half-sentence. , didn’t dare to finish.
