As early as five months ago, one day, Huo Yunzhen, the elder of the Beggar Clan and the South Sea Dragon King Wang Juxi of the Sihai Clan, had an extremely secret meeting.
And when it comes to the words "extremely secretive", it is certainly not planning something good, at least in the minds of these two people, this matter is not visible to the light.
This matter is very simple to say the least. Huo Yunzhen wants to be the next leader of the Beggar Clan, but why he wants to find an outsider like Wang Juxi from the Sihai Clan to help him is also very complicated.
Huo Yunzhen is the elder of the Beggar Clan who teaches martial arts. He climbed up from the bagless disciples of the Beggar Clan to where he is today. Since he is the elder of the Beggar Clan, his martial arts talent is naturally extremely high. He spent half his life mastering almost all the martial arts suitable for him within the Beggar Clan, and he is even more famous in the world. Huo Yunzhen's reputation as "Fan of Hundreds of Families" does not only mean that Huo Yunzhen is a beggar who eats of Feasts of Hundreds of Families, but also implies that he is an expert in all kinds of arts and has learned from the strengths of all.
The criteria for selecting a new leader of the Beggar Clan are mainly based on three main criteria: qualifications, reputation and martial arts, and one of them is "whether you can subdue the Dragon Palm" as mentioned above. Huo Yunzhen has been in the Beggar Clan for more than 40 years. He is a leader in the Beggar Clan in every aspect and is undoubtedly the most popular candidate to be the next Clan Leader. But as luck would have it, his only weakness is that he failed to learn the Beggar Clan's secret skill, "Dragon Subduing Palm." The Dragon Subduing Palm thing is not necessarily easy to use no matter how talented you are in martial arts. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your destiny, or your ability to comprehend it. Some people are enlightened at a glance, and some people can't figure out every move after studying for a lifetime. But once you learn and master the Dragon Subduing Palm, you can dominate half of the world just by relying on this skill. So why can the Beggar Clan remain standing despite the changes in the martial arts world? It is because there is a peerless martial art called Dragon Subduing Palm that can almost reverse the world and break people's perception.
It can be said that the house leaked and it rained all night. Another very unfortunate thing happened to Huo Yunzhen on his way to being promoted to gang leader, that is, the current deputy gang leader Jing Shenxiang, who had similar qualifications to him, could do the Dragon Subduing Palm. Not only could he , and he played beautifully.
Whether or not he can master the Dragon Subduing Palm is not a hard standard. After all, there have been people who did not know how to subdue the Dragon Palm but inherited the mantle of the gang leader. However, it can only be said that he is the taller among the dwarfs, because at that time, there were only a few people in the Beggar Clan. There is no one who can do Dragon Subduing Palm, so there is no problem in choosing one who can't do it.
The problems faced by Huo Yunzhen are obviously more difficult than those of his predecessors. There are currently five people in the Beggar Gang's Subduing Dragon Palm. The first one is the current gang leader Yi Kehe, but Yi Kehe is old and will soon step down as gang leader; the second one is Yi Kehe's compatriot. Brother, Law Enforcement Elder Yi Kexi, these brothers are twins. Their combined age is less than 140 years old. Even if Yi Kexi is allowed to succeed the gang leader, he will not be able to be the gang leader for a few years, and he may not be able to do so in the future. Yi Kehe was in front, so these two were not Huo Yunzhen's opponents. Among the other two, one is just a little girl in her twenties, and the other is a person who has just taken a job in the Beggar Clan, but has always been invisible. These two people either have no current competitiveness or no interest. , so it’s not a hindrance.
It just so happened that this handsome man was in his prime, his status was expected to be excellent in martial arts, and he had advantages that Huo Yunzhen did not have. Therefore, he had always been regarded as a thorn in Huo Yunzhen's side, and if he wanted to choose a gang leader between these two, then This good job will most likely fall on Deputy Gang Leader Jing.
In order to eliminate this serious problem, Huo Yunzhen found Wang Juxi, who belonged to the same nine sects as himself and had all-round strength, intelligence and ambition.
In fact, the situation Wang Juxi faced was somewhat similar to Huo Yunzhen. The position of the Sihai Dragon King of the Sihai Gang is the same as that of the deputy gang leader, but the power in his hands is even greater. After all, each has his own area in charge. However, Wang Juxi also has a big mountain on his head that has been pressing down on him, that is, Wu Gong The strongest Dragon King of the East China Sea, Xu Lingquan. For this reason, he also secretly planted many informants under Xu Lingquan. Xu Lingquan usually had a high opinion of himself, so he didn't even notice that his subordinates had been gradually bribed by Wang Juxi.
When these two people met, they worked together to help each other. After some intrigues and intrigues, they agreed that you would help me become the leader of the Beggar Clan, and I would help you bring the Sihai Clan into the fold.
As the person who took the initiative to initiate this conspiracy, Huo Yunzhen still gave Wang Juxi a lot of benefits. In addition, the current position of the leader of the Sihai Gang was quite stable, and Wang Juxi was old enough to wait, so the two began to help Huo Yunzhen first. Granted this wish, after all, the old gang leader Yi Kehe's body is getting worse day by day. It would be better to get rid of the scenery and gods as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
The old gang leader's health was deteriorating. As the deputy gang leader, Jing Shenxiang naturally shouldered a lot of responsibilities. However, this man also had a problem - he was a lone ranger before joining the Beggar Clan in his early years. Now more than 20 years have passed. , still haven't gotten rid of this habit, and they still travel alone every time, which also gives Huo Yunzhen and Wang Juxi better opportunities to make mobile phone calls. Ever since, during a trip, Jing Shenxiang was ambushed by the Sihai Gang who had been prepared in advance.
Of course, it was impossible for these members of the Sihai Gang to reveal their identities, so they masked themselves with various colors of cloth and took three boats to pretend to be river bandits and launched an attack on Jing Shenxiang.
There were dozens of people in this group, and all of them were calculated intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, the ambush site was in the middle of the river. Even the boat that Jing Shenxiang rode was rented by the Sihai Gang, and the boatman was also a master. The right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people to occupy everything, even if there is no strong player like Wang Juxi in charge, it must be a sure thing.
However, they never imagined that Jing Shenxiang's Dragon Subduing Palm could be so powerful - after Ya realized that something was wrong, he beat the boatman with a preemptive strike until he vomited blood and fell unconscious into the water. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Then he waved his palm from the air and used his majestic energy to forcefully dismantle several other ships... At the end of the matter, Jing Shenxiang rowed the small boat to the shore, but managed to survive.
As soon as he returned to land, Jing Shenxiang felt that something was wrong, so he secretly launched an investigation and traced the source to find the Sihai Gang - and the Sihai Gang also pretended to kill several people who participated in the ambush that day, and sent their bodies to Jingshen. In front of the prime minister, he insisted that this was the work of a group of killers.
Although Jing Shenxiang was not that easy to fool, he had no choice but to agree to it when people denied it. In the end, he found some clues - I won't say whether it was the work of the Sihai Gang, but he was in the gang. It seems that someone is trying to kill him.
As a result, the news was spread to Wang Juxi by Huo Yunzhen, which also led to the humiliation of Sharon on the riverside - this was not an accident caused by a quarrel at all, but something that had been premeditated and deliberately done.
Jia Rengui, the helmsman of the Sihai Gang in Kuyun City, although he is under the command of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, he is a close confidant of the serious Wang Juxi. After receiving Wang Juxi's oral instructions, this guy has been waiting for the salon by the Sunset River every day. After arriving, Huangtian paid off and finally caught him. Jia Rengui's power in the branch of Kuyun City obviously surpassed that of Xu Lingquan, who was far away from the Tiangao Emperor. Naturally, it was Jia Rengui who forced Sharon to disembark and then kicked him off the ship. Xu Qing paid no attention to this matter. Without knowing it, he just thought that his subordinates were helping him and he just followed the trend.
Why would they target a small salon? Just because Sharon is one of the confidants of Su Meixiu, a little girl in her twenties who can subdue the dragon palm. Huo Yunzhen was also afraid that he would be found out, so he shifted the blame out of desperation. He first deliberately asked someone to arrange for Sharon to go to Sunset Jiangbei to handle some troublesome matters, and then spread the rumor that "Su Meixiu was in a hurry to get promoted and murdered the deputy gang leader."
Originally, Huo Yunzhen did this matter rashly due to urgency, but when the letter reached Wang Juxi, he did a lot of aftermath work and wiped the butt of his shameful ally. The "thin gift" Jia Rengui prepared for the salon was a hundred taels of gold. This gift was really not thin. It was just to repay the salon's kindness of not killing Xu Qing... It was a bit too heavy no matter how you looked at it. To say it was "collusion" is in line with the value of this gift. Jia Rengui's next plan is to wait for the salon to leave the door, then release the news and publicize that the salon has taken away a heavy gift from the Sihai Gang. Once this news reaches the ears of Jing Shenxiang, it will inevitably attract people. There is a certain degree of suspicion. If Jingshen Xiang really follows this line of investigation, the result will probably be that "people from the Sihai Gang colluded with Su Meixiu to assassinate her, and these one hundred taels of gold were the Sihai Gang's fault for Su Meixiu's failure to kill the other party." A gift of thanks for the offering.” Even if Jing Shenxiang really found out that it was not Su Meixiu but Huo Yunzhen who did it, then this move would help his master Wang Juxi put the blame on Xu Lingquan again - Jia Rengui was obviously Xu Lingquan's man. Today, he was still pleading for Xu Qing in public in public, and even risked his own life in exchange for Xu Qing's life. He looked like a die-hard lackey of the Xu family - this man gave a generous gift to the Beggar Clan, saying Who would believe that it has nothing to do with you Xu Lingquan?
This is also the difference between Wang Juxi, a scheming businessman who operates water transport, and Huo Yunzhen, a martial artist who has been immersed in martial arts all his life. Even if the incident comes to light, he will not be blamed. Instead, he can watch the fire from the other side, and even take advantage of it. Obtaining greater benefits - killing two birds with one stone and getting rid of his own ally and his direct competitor at the same time is his ultimate goal. His martial arts, Wang Juxi, ranked last among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, but when it came to scheming, he was second to none.
Don't think that this is a family matter of the Beggar Clan, so even if the members of the Sihai Clan admit that they colluded with people from the Beggar Clan, it doesn't matter - the nine major sects have always been known as the leaders of the famous sects, and if they get out of this position, they will harm each other. No matter how important it is, no one can get away with it. Of course, the traitor of the Beggar Clan must be executed, and the scum of the Sihai Clan who helps others commit crimes must also go to hell. At that time, as long as Jia Rengui bites Xu Lingquan to death and orders him to do what he did, Xu Lingquan will have to lose his martial arts and be expelled from the gang even if he is not dead, and Wang Juxi's path forward will be clear.
In fact, what about being from a well-known family? The rivers and lakes are human beings, and people have their own selfish desires and evil thoughts. Don't think that such things have never happened to the nine major sects. On the contrary, the bigger the sects and the more high-status people are, the more sinister and ruthless they are. The turmoil became bigger and bigger - it was just that the family scandal should not be made public. In fact, no one's hands were stained with dirty blood, so everyone tacitly maintained this calm appearance.
At this time, Sharon was holding the big box full of gold and beaming with joy. Even if Jia Rengui handed the box to him alone and told him not to mention to outsiders what gifts we gave you, he could not hide his smile. The proud look between his eyebrows - the vigilance and fear shown by Sharon before showed that this person is not brainless, and the way he looks at this time is obviously completely unaware that this gift is a bit too heavy - and the reason is very Simple, I have never seen so much money in my life.
People are like this. It's easy to get carried away when someone is suddenly promoted to a position that doesn't belong to them or gets a treasure that doesn't belong to them. Little do they know that pie falling from the sky can also kill people.
Of course, He Nan also saw the big box, and he winked at Yu Ruyi - he had never seen any money in his life, and he had to ask the well-informed and wealthy girl Ruyi about gifts and silk.
Although Yu Ruyi's expression was nonchalant and she roughly estimated how much gold and silver the box would be worth, she felt something strange in her heart and replied, "It's not quite right."
