"This … this Beggar Gang Conference is a matter of Jianghu. If the government intervenes, it will cause trouble. Your Grace, you know that the rules of our Beggar Gang have never been in contact with the government …" Lu Changfu was a little tempted. After all, Countess Huanzhu's status was respected. If she went as a registered disciple, she might really be able to help. But after a little hesitation, he gave up the idea.
The iron rule of the Beggar Gang was to never have dealings with the government. It had been adhered to for nearly a thousand years. Even if it was a matter of life and death, it could not be broken.
Countess Huanzhu Wang Shiyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Elder Lu, you are wrong. I am not a government official. I am just the daughter of an idle lord, and I don't hold an official position. What's more, I was also a refugee at that time. I was just lucky enough to enter the lord's mansion. Now I am a registered disciple of the Beggar Gang. I will definitely not break the rules if I go with you."
"This …" Lu Changfu did not know how to refute.
To be honest, the whole Changmen branch of the Beggar Gang was very fond of Countess Huanzhu. There was no arrogance in this woman. On the contrary, she was very open. She got along well with the disciples of the Beggar Gang and never despised the dirty beggars.
Moreover, in the past year or so, because of Countess Huanzhu, Lord Virtuous the Eighth had set up porridge stalls in the Changmen District many times to relieve the refugees. Especially with the emergence of the Eight Lords' Rebellion, the Changmen District had taken in so many refugees. Even if the Beggar Gang could maintain order, how could they feed these people? After all, they were just beggars. But thanks to the free alms of Lord Virtuous the Eighth, the refugees in this area could barely survive.
This was a gesture of giving birth to all Buddhas.
Wang Shiyu said, "Elder Lu, you are so hesitant. Do you regard me as a brother of the Beggar Gang?"
"This … Alas, fine, I'll take you there, but your guards have to disguise themselves and take off their brocade robes. Moreover, after you get there, just watch and don't interfere with the specific affairs. It's very dangerous tonight." Lu Changfu was an honest man. After a while, he was trapped by Wang Shiyu, so he had to compromise.
"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Lu." Wang Shiyu rolled her eyes and looked impatient. "I didn't bring any guards with me this time, so I didn't bring any trouble."
Li Mu was right. This girl just liked to join in the fun.
"Then these friends …" Lu Changfu looked at Li Mu, Yuan Hou, and Qing Feng.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Elder Lu, don't worry. I'm not a government official. I used to be from the same hometown as Countess Huanzhu. I'm also a homeless person."
Lu Changfu didn't know the true meaning behind his words, but he still heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you all."
He ordered several Beggar Clan disciples to bring him some dirty and torn clothes.
Li Mu didn't care about it at all. He directly put on his new clothes. Barefoot, he looked like a beggar, but his temperament didn't look like one. Li Mu thought for a while, grabbed some dirt from the ground, and smeared it on his face. Suddenly, the temperament of the Beggar Gang was about to come out.
Lu Changfu was also a little surprised.
Because although Li Mu wore simple clothes before, at first glance, he could tell that he came from a rich family, especially that temperament. Lu Changfu rarely saw that kind of temperament in Jianghu. He thought that Li Mu wouldn't put down his pride, so the clothes he found were actually relatively neat. Who knew that this young man was so open-minded and forthright. He took the black mud and smeared it on his face …
Lu Changfu was impressed by Li Mu.
Since Li Mu was like this, Yuan Hou and Qing Feng naturally didn't have any conflict. They also changed into those ragged clothes and left their wheelchairs in the Changmen branch. Yuan Hou carried Qing Feng on his back.
After a while, Wang Shiyu also went to the room to change her clothes. She still disguised as a man and dressed up as a handsome little beggar.
"Hehe, my old classmate, you are acting as yourself." Wang Shiyu saw Li Mu's dress and laughed. She remembered that when she was on Earth, Li Mu helped the villagers transplant rice, and his face was also dirty.
Li Mu smiled.
Wang Shiyu dressed as a man. Although she was dressed like a little beggar, she was really handsome. She had a rare temperament like a handsome man, which made people's eyes light up. Sure enough, a handsome face could be capricious. She could do any cosplay. If she returned to Earth, she would definitely outshine those popular young men.
After everything was packed, several people set off with Elder Lu.
Some elites of the Changmen branch of the Beggar Gang, a total of more than one hundred people, set off by water in ten open fleets.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the setting sun was like blood.
The ship was not fast.
Through the conversation with Elder Lu, Li Mu learned that the headquarters of the Beggar Gang was located on a lake island in Chang 'an City. It was called Beggar Island, which covered a considerable area. It was a place that the government didn't care about and completely belonged to the Beggar Gang.
The imperial court of the Northern Song Dynasty had never interfered with the Beggar Gang, because the previous leaders of the Beggar Gang were absolute powerhouses who ranked at the top of the Heavenly List in the Northern Song Dynasty. Moreover, the purpose of the Beggar Gang was never to compete with the imperial court. They lived in peace.
In short, the Beggar Gang was the most peculiar gang in the Northern Song Dynasty.
At sunset, the Beggar Island was in sight.
Li Mu suddenly frowned slightly.
Because he noticed that in the depth of a hundred meters in front of him, there were two extremely strong martial arts auras. Both of them were in the Celestial Being Realm and were stronger than Lu Changfu. They carefully hid their killing intent, but how could they hide from Li Mu's perception? If these two people launched a sneak attack, all the masters of the Beggar Gang in the Changmen branch would be wiped out.
Were they from the Beggar Gang?
Or enemies?
Li Mu couldn't tell for a while.
He thought for a moment, then quietly extended his psychic energy and pressed down.
The two masters in the water of the Celestial Being Realm seemed to be frozen in the bottom of the water in an instant, and did not dare to move.
"Young Master, when you get to the island, don't walk around and talk nonsense. The situation on the island today is a bit dangerous. If you get lost, I'm afraid I can't protect you." Lu Changfu was an honest man, and still worried about Li Mu.
Li Mu said with a smile, "Brother Lu, don't worry, we will."
Wang Shiyu just smiled on the side and did not speak. She silently watched Li Mu pretending to be weak. In this world, who could threaten him?
Soon, the fleet docked at the dock of the Beggar Island.
The masters of the Beggar Gang led people to greet them.
"Old Lu, did you have a smooth journey?" The leader was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair. He was burly and also had the cultivation of the first step of the Celestial Being Realm. His whole body was surrounded by flames. Obviously, he was a master of the Beggar Gang who practiced the methods of the fire sect.
Lu Changfu cupped his hands and said, "Everything is calm and smooth."
The middle-aged man said, "You're lucky. Our brothers from the other branches were ambushed on the way here and suffered heavy losses. Especially the Tumen branch, they were completely wiped out … Those bastards actually ambushed our people on Beggar's Lake. Elder Song of the Law Enforcement Hall has already led people to fight back."
"Ah? Is there such a thing? "Lu Changfu was shocked.
Immediately, the people of the Changmen branch were led to the interior of the Beggar Island.
At the same time.
Far away, on the lake where the fleet had passed before, two ghost-faced strongmen in tight black suits floated up from the water. They looked at each other with horror, and it was difficult to hide the horror in each other's eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's going on? In the Changmen branch, besides Lu Changfu of the Celestial Being Realm, there is such a master? I felt as if I was going to be crushed into powder by that pressure. "
"Could it be a Saint?"
"It can't be a Saint. In this world, how can there be so many Saints? It should be the Celestial Being Realm."
"Well, what Brother Bo Ren said makes sense, but the Celestial Being Realm is also very difficult to deal with. I have to inform the Young Master quickly, otherwise, there will be changes tonight. "
…
Beggar Island covered an area of thousands of acres, and the terrain was extremely strange. Less than 100 meters into the island, there was a small mountain with a height of 1,000 meters, encircling the entire Beggar Island. In the middle was a plain, like a large basin floating on the lake. Only some secret passages at the foot of the mountain led to the plain of the island, which were zigzagging, full of traps, and heavily guarded.
Some of these secret passages were naturally formed, and others were artificially dug by the Beggar Gang.
From the perspective of terrain, Beggar Island was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Li Mu and the others followed Lu Changfu and soon entered the island. They were led to a large rocky beach.
There was already a dense crowd here. There were about tens of thousands of strong masters from other branches of the Beggar Gang. Many of them came from outside Lin 'an City, and they looked travel-worn. The people of the Changmen branch were arranged to sit in the back row of the third area, and they sat down casually on the rocky beach.
Lu Changfu greeted the people around him. Obviously, he had a wide network of people and was popular.
Li Mu and others were very low-key. They hid among the disciples of the branch and did not attract attention.
Time flew.
Soon, a full moon slowly climbed over the mountains around the island and chose to choose the sky.
Some masters of the Beggar Gang came one after another, but most of them were injured. When they arrived, they cursed loudly. They were attacked on the way and suffered heavy losses.
Li Mu looked at the surrounding terrain.
The central area of the rocky beach was more than 10 meters high, more than 400 meters long and wide. The surface was flat and square, like a giant fighting ring. It had been covered with mottled moss, so it was hard to tell whether it was a natural square stone or an artificial carving. But Li Mu could clearly feel that inside this rock, there were all kinds of star pattern tactical deployments.
Soon, the second full moon rose in the sky.
At this time, about 30,000 or 40,000 people had gathered around the rocky beach, most of them were experts of the Beggar Gang. There were 100 people in the Celestial Being Realm, but most of them had just reached the first or second step of the Celestial Being Realm. There were only a dozen high-level experts in the Celestial Being Realm, and most of them were older.
There were people everywhere, densely packed and densely packed. It was a sea of people.
Two moons hung in the sky.
There was a flash of brilliance.
A white-haired old beggar appeared on the square stone platform, holding a wooden stick in his hand. He casually inserted it into the center of the stone platform. The bamboo stick penetrated the stone as easily as inserting a piece of tofu. He glanced around and said, "Everyone, tonight our Beggar Gang holds an urgent Beggar Gang meeting, because it is really a matter of life and death for our Beggar Gang. Brothers, please gather together and discuss."
There was a sudden silence.
This white-haired old beggar was the current Grand Master of the Beggar Gang, Divine Beggar.
