Gulongzhong is located in the arch of Xishan Mountain to the west of Xiangyang. The one in the middle is in the air, and there is sound in the sky when walking above it. Gulongzhong got its name from this.
The mountain in Gurung is not high but elegant, the water is not deep but clear, the land is not wide but flat, the forest is not large but lush, the Longshan is towering and green, the east mountain is endless, and the flag mountain is swirling.
Xiangyang is under the jurisdiction of Qisu in the south, so Elder Suzaku can be regarded as the owner of this Qingmu Conference.
On August 15th, people from all walks of life who had gathered in Xiangyang rushed towards Gulong. However, except for the disciples of the Beggar Clan, figures from other sects could not enter Xishan Gulong without invitations. After all, it is the first-class conference of the Beggar Clan, and this year's Aoki Conference is very different from the past.
In fact, there were not many people invited, only thirty or forty people, but there were many disciples of the Beggar Clan who came from all over the world. Not to mention the twenty-eight-year-old helmsman, each of them brought a group of people here, so this time There were five to six hundred people in the Qingmu Conference, and almost all the elite members of the Beggar Clan were here.
Qining arrived at the Western Mountain before noon. There was already a sentry at the foot of the Western Mountain. Mao Hu'er was the helmsman of the Xinyuehu branch. He showed his token, and naturally he was able to get through without any obstruction. Halfway up the mountain, there was already Liu Tu. The leader of the Zhangfen helm brought people to greet them. As the host of this conference, he was very polite to the brothers from other gangs who came from other places.
Captain Liu Tu Deer is called Qiao Xuan, and he is very familiar with Mao Hu'er. After meeting, he already smiled and said: "Pilot Mao, you and I had a drinking fight three years ago, and I lost you. The better, if we fight again this year, you can Didn’t you forget?”
Mao Hu'er also smiled heartily and said: "Always remember, after the conference, let's find a place to compete."
Qiao Xuan glanced at it and asked: "Two of your helmsmen from Dongfang Qisu have arrived, but Elder Qinglong has not arrived yet."
Mao Hu'er said: "The elder is ill and will not be able to come this time."
"Can't come?" Qiao Xuan was taken aback and lowered his voice: "Master Mao, Elder Qinglong, do you know that this meeting is unusual? It is to discuss revenge against the gang leader and to elect a new gang leader. Such a meeting , how can Elder Qinglong be absent?"
"Although the elder couldn't come, he sent Captain Kang Jinlong Wei to come on his behalf." Mao Hu'er looked at Qining and introduced to Qining: "Master Wei, this is Captain Qiao from the Liutu Deer Branch. host!"
Qining cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Qiao."
"Master Wei?" Qiao Xuan asked doubtfully: "Isn't Kang Jinlong the Master Gongsun Jian? When...!" He seemed to feel that it was rude to say this in front of Qi Ning, so he forced a smile.
"Dulmmaster Gongsun was harmed by others, so the elders ordered Captain Wei to take over." Mao Hu'er's eyes were filled with anger.
Qiao Xuan was even more shocked and said in a voiceless voice: "Master Gongsun, he...!" There were people walking around nearby, but Qiao Xuan didn't say it loudly, but looked solemn, knowing that it was hard to say much on the road, but Mao Hu'er had already Asked: "Have all the elders arrived?"
"Our Elder Suzaku arrived a few days ago, and Elder Baihu arrived the day before yesterday. However, Elder Xuanwu has not shown up yet, but the helmsmen of all the rudders in the north have already arrived."
Qi Ning's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that something might have happened if Elder Xuanwu failed to arrive.
Xiang Baiying was unable to appear. The most senior member of the Beggar Clan at the moment was Bai Hu. The only one left to compete with him was the Xuanwu elder from the north. This time to deal with Bai Hu, Qining planned to use Xuanwu as the main force. He was assisting from the side. If Xuanwu was absent, things would be difficult to handle.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps was heard. A group of people were approaching on the mountain road. The first person was thin. When Qiao Xuan saw it, he already smiled and said: "The horse helmsman of the Winged Fire Snake is here." He pointed at the thin person. The beggar shouted: "Old Ma, you know how to be lazy, and you didn't come here a few days earlier to help."
The horse helmsman cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, some things delayed me, so I'm late. I'll apologize to you later."
Behind him were a dozen or so people, all of whom were obviously his subordinates. Qining glanced at it and suddenly frowned. He saw a tall beggar behind the leader of the horse, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Qining suddenly saw that person, and Qining felt that he had seen him before. I feel like it, but I really have no impression of where I have seen it.
Mao Hu'er also said hello, and then introduced Qining to Captain Ma. Captain Ma was also greatly surprised: "It turns out that Kang Jinlong changed the steering wheel." People came and went, and it was hard to say much. Mao Hu'er The son saw Qi Ning staring at the beggar with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little confused, but Qi Ning already smiled and said: "I don't know who this brother is, he looks familiar."
Captain Ma looked back and said with a smile: "This is the Hall Master of the Huize City Branch Hall of the Winged Fire Snake Branch. Has Master Wei ever met Hall Master Fang?"
Qining suddenly realized something and sneered in his heart. No wonder he had a sense of déjà vu with this person. It was not that he knew this person, but that the owner of his body, Xiao Diaoer, knew this person, so he still remembered him in his memory. There is a trace of trace.
Qining came out of Huize City, and he remembered very clearly that the leader of the beggars in Huize City was called Boss Fang. This man secretly helped Huize City catch Xiao Yishui, the leader of Huize City, and trafficked people. He was once Xiao Yi's subordinate. A lackey, but I didn't expect to meet him here today.
"It turns out to be Hall Master Fang." Qining said with a smile: "It just looks familiar, maybe I misremembered."
Boss Fang was just the leader of the Beggar Clan, and his status was not considered high. When he heard Qin Ning and Yan Yuese mention him, he was a little flattered. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Young Fang Huang, I have met Master Wei."
Qi Ning nodded with a smile, but sneered in his heart, thinking to himself that there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in. This time when he comes to Xiangyang, even if other things cannot be done, he must deal with this guy.
Qiao Xuan still had to welcome guests, so the group could only go to the venue by themselves. Fortunately, this was not the first time that the Qingmu Conference was held in Gulong, and Mao Huer and others were still very familiar with the terrain here.
The venue was set up at the observatory, halfway up the mountain. Along the way, we saw that the mountain road was very clean. There were also tea stalls along the way. If you are thirsty, you can drink tea on the roadside at any time. The preparations are also considerate. .
There are many scenic spots along the way in Gulongzhong. Along the way, we passed many landscapes such as Gubai Pavilion, Liujia Well, Banyue Creek, Laolong Cave, etc. Suddenly we heard the sound of water, but in front of us was a trickling mountain stream with an arch bridge on it. Mao Hu'er said to Qining: "Master Wei, after passing Xiaohong Bridge, there is the star observatory in front, and the conference will be held there."
After the group crossed the bridge and walked forward for a while, they heard the roar of people. Qining saw that the front suddenly opened up and there were dense crowds of people. Most of the people attending the conference had already arrived.
The observatory, as the name suggests, is a high platform, more than two meters high from the ground. It is built of hemp stone and is extremely flat. At that time, the clouds were clear and the sun was shining brightly. The conditions around the observatory could be seen very clearly. Hundreds of people were surrounding the observatory, most of them sitting cross-legged on the ground. There were dozens of seats around the observatory, many of which were already occupied.
As I got closer to the Star Observation Deck, I could see even more clearly that in addition to the disciples of the Beggar Clan, there were indeed many people from other sects, which could be seen just from their clothes.
Suddenly, a few people walked out from the side. Qining took a look and saw that it was Bai Shenghao, the helmsman of the Ghost Golden Sheep branch, and others.
Qining is most familiar with the Beggar Clan Branch Helmsman Gui Jinyang. The Ghost Golden Yang Branch Helms is located in Jianye Capital City. When the epidemic broke out in the capital, the Ghost Golden Yang Branch Helmsmen and Qining fully cooperated with each other. The two sides have already developed a friendship. Bai Shenghao Qining admires this person for his straightforward temperament.
Behind Bai Shenghao were several disciples of the Ghost Golden Sheep Division, including Shangguan Lingfeng and Liu Qingzhou. Liu Qingzhou was infected with the virus during the spread of the epidemic in the capital and almost died. Fortunately, Qining provided Tang Nuo with the weapon in time to develop it. After receiving the antidote, he escaped from death, so he has always been very grateful to Qining.
Seeing these people, Qining felt quite friendly.
Bai Shenghao obviously saw Mao Hu'er and immediately came up to him, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Mao!"
Mao Hu'er also returned the gift with his hand, and Bai Shenghao didn't waste any time and asked directly: "Has Elder Qinglong arrived? I haven't seen him yet."
Mao Hu'er explained, and Bai Shenghao's face suddenly became serious and said: "Elder Qinglong has always been physically strong, why is he feeling unwell?"
"It's hard to explain in words." Mao Hu'er glanced at Qining and didn't explain too much.
Bai Shenghao looked quite anxious. He cupped his hands and ordered Sun Qingzhou to lead everyone to sit down. In addition to the seats under the observatory, in addition to some guests invited, the twenty-eight constellations helmsman also has seats, and according to the direction Setting up seats, the seven helmsmen of Dongfang Qisu were arranged on the east side of the observatory. After Qi Ning and others passed by, four people were already sitting on the seven chairs of the helmsmen's seats.
These four people were all subordinates of Elder Qinglong Master Lou Wen. When they saw Mao Hu'er coming, they all stood up and came over to ask about Master Lou Wen's whereabouts. Mao Hu'er had to explain again, attracting Qi Ning and The four helmsmen met and were shocked when they heard that Kang Jinlong had changed the helm.
Master Lou Wen is not an arbitrary person. All the leaders of Dongfang Qisu have to be called together for discussion when changing the helmsman of Dongfang Qisu. However, at such an important time, Master Lou Wen cannot come for some reason, and Kang Jinlong is even more... The inexplicable change of helmsman is really strange.
The four helmsmen are not stupid. Although Mao Hu'er didn't explain too much, they all knew in their hearts that something big might happen.
After Qi Ning and Mao Hu'er took their seats, there was still a vacant chair in Dongfang Qisu. Qin Ning sighed in his heart, knowing that the owner of that chair would never appear again today. Master Lou Wen was ambushed on his way to Xiangyang and followed him. Of the three helmsmen nearby, only Mao Hu'er escaped death and took Gongsun Jian's place, but Zheng Quan, the helmsman of Fang Ritu, would never appear again.
