In Gu Xiaotian's eyes, Zhou Hongbo has gone completely crazy.
However, there is a reason for being crazy. His hands have been cut off, his adopted son has been killed, and his thoughts and hopes have been cut off. Even if he is not crazy, then this person's mental endurance is too strong.
Li Huaimin no longer wanted to persuade him.
To him, Zhou Hongbo was completely crazy. Such a lunatic could not be persuaded.
Wu Sangui asked from the side: "Elder Zhou, I really don't understand why you look down on me so much?"
Zhou Hongbo snorted and reprimanded loudly: "You look too much like Li Huaimin when he was young!"
Then, his tone became a little jealous, "Both of you are outstanding young people, and you are indeed a good candidate to take over the Beggar Clan. But when outsiders mention it, they only think of Li Huaimin. Who else can do it?" Think of my contribution to the Beggar Clan, Zhou Hongbo!"
In terms of his contribution to the Beggar Clan, Zhou Hongbo is confident that he will not lose to Li Huaimin.
But outsiders only remember Li Huaimin, and no one remembers Zhou Hongbo.
Just like the world will only remember the number one in the world, but usually ignore the number two in the world.
There are always people who are pressuring you. As time goes by, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Hongbo smiled bitterly and said: "I, Zhou Hongbo, have devoted my whole life to the Beggar Clan, but in the end I got nothing. Everyone, Zhou Hongbo will go ahead and see you in the underworld!"
He hit his head hard against the wall and died after hitting the wall.
Zhou Hongbo, the chief elder of the Beggar Clan, ended up committing suicide.
And because he had practiced evil ways, he could not be buried in the ancestral hall of the Beggar Clan after his death.
Li Huaimin carried Zhou Hongbo's body and prepared to find a hillside to bury him. The man was dead and could not enter the Beggar Clan's ancestral hall, but he had to be buried in the ground.
The matter has been resolved, and Liu Sixing also brought good news. The elders of his generation have agreed to belong to Gu Xiaotian.
No matter how dissatisfied Pei Wudu is, he can't do anything about it. According to the people's wishes, he can at best be regarded as the polished commander of the Jingyi Sect.
...
Under night.
Gu Xiaotian and Wu Sangui sat side by side at the door of the inn, setting up a small table with some side dishes and two bottles of wine.
Gu Xiaotian thanked him: "It's really thanks to you this time, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Wu Sangui took a sip of wine and clicked his tongue: "In terms of gratitude, I should thank you even more. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would take some time for my mastery of boxing skills to flourish."
Putting down the flask, Wu Sangui asked, "Have you thought about the next things and the way forward?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded, "Think about it."
"tell me the story?"
"With you leading the Beggar Gang, I can hold the entire Beggar Gang in my hands. I finally have a force of my own. As for the casual cultivators, Duan Peng has also figured out a way. I just need to go over there tomorrow. After that I should We will continue walking to the border. Anyway, please stay calm during this period and stop running around. I will leave Jinghu Lake to you."
Wu Sangui patted his chest and reassured Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian put his arms around Wu Sangui's shoulders and said, "They are my subordinates, but you are not."
"we are brothers!"
Wu Sangui was moved in his heart, but his face was still full of disgust. Why did he say something so disgusting?
Picking up the wine bowl, the two of them knocked the bowl against each other and drank it all in one gulp.
The two drank all night long, and when they got up, the sun was already high.
Today we have to do the final finishing work of Jinghu Lake. This trip will bring Jinghu Lake under our control. Although there are some twists and turns, fortunately it went smoothly.
Because Wu Sangui has officially taken over the position of leader of the Beggar Clan, he will not go with Gu Xiao today. He will go to some elders to discuss some matters.
The status of the second elder and the third elder will naturally move up one position, but there is always an empty elder position, and this position cannot be occupied. Now it is urgent to find a suitable person to promote him first.
...
When we arrived at the place where the casual cultivator was, the casual cultivator from that day was already waiting here.
It’s been a long time.
Seeing Gu Xiaotian coming, the casual cultivator immediately bowed his hands and said, "Everyone has been gathered, and they are in the casual cultivator courtyard."
Ever since Gu Xiaotian made a promise to this casual cultivator, this casual cultivator immediately spread the news, and some casual cultivators naturally agreed without thinking.
After all, no one wants to keep their head tied to their waist.
But some arrogant casual cultivators are still reluctant. After all, they are suddenly asked to belong to one person, and they cannot accept the sense of gap.
Moreover, those were just verbal guarantees with no evidence, and since we didn’t know the strength of the people who wanted to belong, they would naturally be reluctant to agree.
Finally, these people gathered in the casual monastery.
This place was built spontaneously by Jinghu's casual cultivators. If they encounter certain critical moments or make important decisions, they will come here to discuss countermeasures together.
Among this group of casual cultivators, the one who has the right to speak is named Chengzhi, and is known as Laogou.
After all, there are three, six, and nine levels of casual cultivators. There is no doubt that Lao Gou is the ninth level among them, and he naturally has some qualifications to speak.
Lao Gou is considered to be the most advanced among the Jinghu casual cultivators. Usually, Lao Gou will not care about the quarrels between casual cultivators as long as the matter is not too big. But if the two of them want to make a life-or-death decision, Lao Gou will act. A witness comes to testify.
Of course, Lao Gou would not dissuade the two people who had made a life-and-death decision from thinking more about it. He felt that this method was the way of communication between their casual cultivators, and there should not be so many rules.
Life and death, destiny and wealth are in heaven.
It was Lao Gou's intention to summon people to the casual monastery this time.
Lao Gou also wanted to see how confident this young master of the Gu family was that he dared to subordinate all of Jing Lake to him.
Duan Peng reminded: "Be careful now, I guess there is still a fight to come."
Gu Xiaotian is also prepared. He has already thought of this, which reassures Duan Peng.
This time Gu Xiaotian also specifically asked Qu Xiaohan not to interfere. After all, the nature of the matter changed as soon as Qu Xiaohan intervened.
Although Qu Xiaohan has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, she is still the leader of Hanchun City after all. There are some things she can intervene in, and some things she cannot.
It doesn't matter to Qu Xiaohan, as long as Gu Xiaotian's life is safe.
Under the leadership of this casual cultivator, Gu Xiaotian came to the casual cultivator.
In the courtyard, a group of casual cultivators had gathered, in groups of twos and threes, all discussing something.
And the one at the very end is the old dog.
When Lao Gou saw the casual cultivator bringing the man, he stood up quickly and said, "I have met the young master of the Gu family."
Gu Xiaotian also bowed back, "You should understand everything."
The old dog nodded and said with a smile: "It's clear, it's just that there are some problems that need to be solved."
Gu Xiaotian said without hesitation: "I'm here to solve the problem. If you have any other conditions, just say it."
This group of casual cultivators is used to taking advantage all year round. Suddenly a big pie falls on their heads. They will definitely try their best to take advantage of it, but this is all within Gu Xiaotian and Duan Peng's expectations.
If these casual cultivators agreed easily, Gu Xiaotian would be a little scared.
After all, transactions are equal, you belong to me, and I will give you benefits.
Only in this way will they feel at ease working under Gu Xiaotian.
The old dog gave a thumbs up and praised twice. He was worthy of being the young master of the Gu family. He spoke with generosity. Then he turned around and picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Gu Xiaotian.
Behind the results paper, Gu Xiaotian took a cursory glance.
It seems that the old dog has been prepared for a long time.
After all, Gu Xiaotian's previous promises were all verbal and not signed. If he really wanted to deny it, these casual cultivators couldn't fault it.
But it was obvious that Gu Xiaotian would not deny such a trivial matter at all. He felt that these casual cultivators were a little too worried.
However, the practices of these casual cultivators are understandable, and they are just for peace of mind.
Gu Xiaotian didn't say anything, and took a brief look at it to see if there were any flaws, or some overlord clauses.
It must be said that Lao Gou's sincerity is quite good, and the contents are in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.
Gu Xiaotian put down the paper and signed and stamped it.
The old dog carefully put the paper away. With this guarantee, he felt more at ease.
The old dog asked: "I wonder when Young Master Gu can get the caravan in place?"
In the terms just mentioned, it was clearly written that Gu Xiaotian needs to send a caravan to stay in Jinghu. When the time comes, the trade between Jinghu and Jinghu will be opened up, and these casual cultivators will be unified as caravan guards first, and there will be one every month. Monthly money.
Gu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I will write a letter home now and send a caravan over immediately. It will take about half a month to get here from Kyoto."
Afterwards, Gu Xiaotian put his money bag on the table again, "There is still some spare money in it, you can take it first and then distribute it to these casual cultivators. After the caravan is in place, the remaining monthly money will be Fill."
The old dog looked at the money bag, and his eyes were shining. Otherwise, he must be the young master of the Gu family, so he would be generous.
Gu Xiaotian pressed the money bag and said with a smile: "Your affairs are finished, is it my turn now?"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Lao Gou immediately called the casual cultivators over and asked them all to keep quiet. At the same time, he stood next to Gu Xiaotian, held his hand and said: "From now on, this will be the leader of our Jinghu casual cultivators. If there is any grudge, Yes, just stand up here, and once you get out of this courtyard, no internal fighting will be allowed!"
Some people in the audience were happy, while others frowned.
The ones who are happy are naturally those casual cultivators who are at an average level. This is much better than wandering around in the rivers and lakes. At least they can live more peacefully and have enough to eat.
The frowning people are those who are at a higher level. They are not very willing to surrender to one person, which will make them feel uncomfortable.
Gu Xiaotian took a step forward and said, "Everyone, if you have any grudges today, just come forward, as long as your lives are not harmed!"
There was a sudden silence in the audience.
After all, no one wants to be the one who stands out.
Gu Xiaotian also understood this and gave the old dog a look.
After all, Lao Gou is a veteran in the world, so he can understand this look immediately.
He immediately jumped onto the ring, pointed at someone in the audience and said, "Guangwu, let's get to know our grudges again today!"
The man named Guangwu in the audience didn't hesitate. He jumped onto the stage and mocked: "Old dog, don't tell me that I bullied you."
The two got into a stance and started fighting immediately.
Gu Xiaotian sat on his seat and drank tea with peace of mind.
