Qining frowned and asked: "Uncle Xiang, you may guess who is the mastermind behind this? What do these people want to do?"
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "Although I am convinced that Bai Hu is being used by others, I still have no idea what the black hands behind this want to do." After a pause, he said: "Bai Hu is an elder of the Beggar Clan, and his status in the world has already been reached. Not too low, Bai Hu would not look down upon the leader of an ordinary sect. He could make... he could make Bai Hu bow his head and obey his orders. The other party not only... not only had enough conditions to attract Bai Hu to make him dare to rebel, but also... and his status must be extremely high. , otherwise White Tiger would never have the guts to take such a risk."
"Extremely high status?" Qi Ning pondered for a moment, then said: "There are probably not many people in the world who have a higher status than the elders of the Beggar Clan. Unless they are the sect leaders of the Eighth Gangs and Sixteenth Sects, they can barely make do. "
Xiang Baiying looked extremely tired just after saying these words.
His meridians were all damaged, and it was impossible to use his internal energy to refresh himself. On the contrary, he was much weaker than ordinary people. Seeing that he was tired, Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiang, please stop talking first and rest here. Yes, here It’s very safe, you don’t have to worry about anyone coming.”
"Hehe, I thought that I, Xiang Baiying, have traveled all over the world in the past twenty years, but I didn't expect that now I would end up like a lost dog." Xiang Baiying laughed at himself: "Good boy, I am already a useless person, but there are two things that you can do for me. I’ll do it.”
"If you have any instructions to uncle, just tell me." Qi Ning immediately said: "Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will do my best."
Qi Ning was a person of temperament, and when Xiang Baiying suffered such a big change, he felt sad and sympathetic. Hearing him explain two things, he knew that a hero like Xiang Baiying would not ask for help unless he had no choice.
Xiang Baiying smiled happily and said: "The first thing, you... you go to Daguangming Temple and find... Master Kongzang...!"
"Master Kongzang is in charge of Daguangming Temple?" Qining was startled, thinking that these two people also have friendship? But I immediately thought that although Daguangming Temple is a royal temple, it has an unshakable and extremely high status in the world. Moreover, Daguangming Temple is the head of the Buddhist sect and leads the world's temples. Its power is not inferior to that of the Beggars.
Master Kongzang is the abbot of the Daguangming Temple, while Xiang Baiying is the leader of the Beggar Clan. Both of them are top figures in the world, so it is not surprising that they have intersections with each other.
Xiang Baiying whispered: "If you worship at the mountain gate, you can... you can go up the mountain to see Master Kongzang."
"Okay." Qining nodded and said: "Uncle Xiang, what should I tell him when I see Master Kongzang." Thinking of something, he immediately said: "Uncle Xiang asked me to inform Master Kongzang and ask people from Daguangming Temple to come Pick you up, well, there are so many people in Daguangming Temple, if you really rest in Daguangming Temple, no one in the world can come close."
But Xiang Baiying smiled softly and said: "Do you think I'm afraid of losing my life? I'm already a disabled person, and this life doesn't matter anymore." His expression became serious and he said: "Good boy, you... you come closer Come here." He wanted to struggle, but his whole body couldn't move.
Qi Ning quickly put his ear close to him, whispered to Baiying, and then said: "When you see Master Kongzang, just say this sentence, he will know that I asked you to go."
"Then... what should we do after seeing him?" Qining asked: "Should we tell Master Kongzang about Uncle Xiang's whereabouts?"
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "Don't tell anyone. Although I am a useless person, if I fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, trouble will arise. Regardless of life or death, it is best to stay here for the time being." He looked at the person in the middle. Gu Da Coffin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Are we in the funeral cave of Black Rock Cave?"
Qi Ning thought to himself that he didn't tell Xiang Baiying where he was. Xiang Baiying was really amazing, he could tell it at a glance.
"Only the Hua Miao people bury their ancestors in the cave." Xiang Baiying said: "You have a deep connection with the Black Rock Cave, so you have to come here."
Qi Ning said: "Uncle Xiang, you...you can guess that I will send you here, those thieves...!"
"They may be suspicious, but they would never think that I would hide in the mourning cave." Xiang Baiying said: "This is the safest place at the moment." After a pause, he continued: "You only need to ask Master Kongzang explained that I was harmed by an adulterer, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the agreement I made with him."
"Promise?" Qi Ning was startled, wondering what agreement the leader of the Beggar Clan had with the abbot of Daguangming Temple
Xiang Baiying whispered: "You don't have to know what the agreement is, this is better for you."
Qi Ning said: "Don't worry, Uncle Xiang. After returning to Beijing, I will immediately go to see Master Kongzang and inform him of your situation. Since he is the abbot of Daguangming Temple, he should uphold justice. When the time comes, I will expose Lu Shanghe to him." And Bai Hu’s despicableness, like this...!”
Xiang Baiying immediately said: "There is no need to say another word, let alone Bai Hu and Lu Shanghe."
Qi Ning was startled, then saw Xiang Baiying's firm expression, thinking that since you have friendship with Master Kongzang, Master Kongzang is the master of Buddhism, and if he intervenes in this matter, Lu Shanghe and Bai Hu will have no power to resist.
But it was immediately understood that Bai Hu was a rebel of the Beggar Clan, and Lu Shanghe and Xiang Baiying were known as sworn brothers. Although Xiang Baiying lost all his martial arts, he obviously did not want the Daguangming Temple to interfere in the internal affairs of the Beggar Clan. He and Lu Shanghe were private grudges, and don’t want Daguangming Temple to be involved.
"Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I won't say much." Qining understood Xiang Baiying's intentions and immediately said: "Besides this matter, do you have any other orders?"
Xiang Baiying did not speak immediately, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "This matter is going to be difficult for you...!"
"Uncle Xiang, just tell me what you have to say." Qining said, "I will do it naturally if I can do it. Even if I can't do it, I will try my best to find a way."
Xiang Baiying hesitated for a moment and then said: "On June 18th, in Xiangyang Gulong, the Beggar Clan held the Qingmu Conference. The four elders, more than twenty-eight helmsmen, and many big and small bosses with many subordinates from each branch will be in Gulong. Gather. There is always something wrong with the Beggar Clan's four-party distribution of leadership. The Qingmu Conference is the reward and punishment meeting of the Beggar Clan. Everyone can speak freely. In addition, trust must be selected at the conference."
"Gu Longzhong?"
Xiang Baiying nodded slightly: "The Aoki Conference is held every three years. There will always be some disturbances in each conference, but there has never been any trouble. But this time in the Aoki Conference, Baihu and his gang will definitely make waves. If they succeed, ,The consequences could be disastrous."
Qi Ning frowned and said: "Uncle Xiang, although Bai Hu is plotting rebellion, there are still three elders. How can they let Bai Hu easily win the position of gang leader?"
"I said before that Suzaku is not brave enough and there are people behind Baihu. If he gains power, Suzaku will probably not compete with him. Although Qinglong's martial arts is good, he is upright by nature. He commanded Qinglong Qisu in the east, but he also did some things that he shouldn't have done. Whatever he does will definitely be used by Bai Hu." Xiang Baiying looked serious: "Although Xuanwu is cautious and has the strength to compete with Bai Hu, he is too young and his seniority in the Beggar Clan cannot be compared with Bai Hu's."
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "Suzaku protects himself wisely, Qinglong is not gregarious, and Xuanwu is too junior. Uncle Xiang is worried that these three people cannot be of the same mind."
"Nature is hard to change." Xiang Baiying sighed: "These people are all arrogant, and they are submissive in front of me, but it is extremely difficult to make them bow to others."
Although Xiang Baiying only gave a brief talk, Qining already understood that the four elders of the Beggar Clan actually did not get along well with each other. In the past, they did not dare to do anything to Xiang Baiying, but they did not Baiying was present, but none of these people obeyed anyone.
"Uncle Xiang, what do you want me to do?" Qi Ning asked: "You said earlier that Elder Xuanwu is capable of succeeding as the leader of the gang. Could it be that... you want me to lead Xuanwu?"
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "June 18th Aoki Conference, you go to it for me."
"ah?"
Xiang Baiying stared at Qi Ning and said slowly: "Xuanwu's qualifications are still young. We want to take time to gain more experience before entrusting him with this important task." Xiang Baiying looked solemn: "But given his current situation , if you really want to be the leader of the gang, although Bai Hu tried his best to stop it, Qinglong and Suzaku will definitely not agree." After a pause, he said: "Above the Qingmu Conference, the position of help must not fall into the hands of Xiaoxiao like Bai Hu, otherwise The beggar gang is bound to be in disaster."
Qi Ning said: "Don't worry, Uncle Xiang. I will definitely go to the Beggar Clan Aoki Conference, and I will definitely try my best to prevent Bai Hu from seizing the position of leader."
"Not only do you have to stop him, but... you also have to help me win the position of leader of the Beggar Clan." Xiang Baiying said seriously: "Go and win the leadership of the Beggar Clan."
Qi Ning didn't understand it for a moment. He said "Ah" and suddenly understood. His whole body was shaken and he lost his voice: "You... you want me to be the leader of the Beggar Clan?" He thought it was really unbelievable.
Although he is a fake Marquis of Jin Yi, after all, he is indeed a Marquis now. A Marquis of Jin Yi from the great Chu Empire, vying for the position of the leader of the Beggar Clan, is really ridiculous. Qining couldn't help but think, it seems that he is the leader of the Beggar Clan. The Baiying meridians were damaged, and his mind became confused.
Xiang Baiying stared at Qining and said, "You don't agree?"
"Uncle Xiang...!" Qining felt his scalp was numb. He not only raised his hand to scratch it, but also said with some embarrassment: "I... I am the Marquis of the Imperial Court, that...!"
"So, you don't look down on these beggars?" Xiang Baiying said calmly.
Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiang, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that. It's just... Hey, just asking me to compete to be the leader of the gang is a bit... it's a bit whimsical. I am not a disciple of the Beggar Clan, and... and I am not interested in the Beggar Clan. I don’t know anything about the affairs, and you just said that Elder Xuanwu is both civilized and martial, but his qualifications are just a lack of qualifications, which has become an obstacle to becoming the leader of the gang. I am not even a disciple of the Beggar Clan, how can I be accepted by the Beggar Clan."
Xiang Baiying shook his head and said: "You only think that competing to be the leader of the Beggar Clan this time is a matter of Jianghu? Listen carefully, the position of leader of the Beggar Clan this time will protect countless living beings, and it is related to the situation of the world. It is definitely not a matter of Jianghu. It's simple, it's already a state matter." His eyes were firm and he said solemnly: "Just because you are a Marquis of Jinyi, you must win the position of gang leader."
