Chapter 223 Chapter 223: The New Owner of the Green Gang

Ling Haotian left Wen Chuoyue, rode his horse back to the camp, and when he approached his tent, it was already the afternoon of the next day.He was very confused, he didn't know whether he should go back to the Central Plains to see his parents and Bao'an, and he also hesitated whether he should tell Zhao Guan how he wanted to return.He knew that after Zhao Guan heard this, he would resolutely go back with him. When the two left, they escaped the death god of plague and the decent people. If they go back now, they will inevitably fall into a trap, which is extremely dangerous.He thought to himself: Zhao Guan is not alone now, with Miss Li by his side, I can no longer ask him to accompany me in danger.But if I leave without saying goodbye, how can I be worthy of my friend?

After thinking about it, his concern for his parents and his love for Bao'an became more and more serious. When he was still dozens of miles away from the tent, Peck Eye suddenly made a high-pitched cry in the air, spread his wings and circled, and kept calling, as if he saw something foreign.Ling Haotian was afraid that something might happen to Zhao Guan and Li Tongxi, so he hurriedly galloped closer. From a distance, he saw a long white dragon winding on the edge of the grassland and the blue sky. It turned out to be a group of people in white clothes, lined up in two neat rows on the grassland. walk slowly.He wondered in his heart: How could there be so many people in white on the desert?

He galloped forward on a non-horse horse, but saw that everyone was wearing sackcloth and white cloth on their heads, obviously wearing heavy filial piety.Ling Haotian's heart skipped a beat: Looking at the scene, the leader of some big gang in the Central Plains must have passed away.What did they come all the way to the desert?But he saw that group of people meandering in, heading towards his and Zhao Guan's tent. Ling Haotian was surprised in his heart, he looked into the distance, but saw a person standing outside the tent with a solemn expression, it was Zhao Guan.There were eight men standing in front of him, some with all white hair and some with half gray hair, they all seemed to be important figures in the gang.

Ling Haotian looked at the line of people and Zhao Guan at the end of the line of people, and suddenly realized in his heart: So these are members of the Green Gang.Judging from this posture, it must be that the leader of the Green Gang, Zhao Lao, has passed away.Did they come to Zhao Guan to tell the news of the old gang leader's death?If you just came to inform, what's the use of such ostentation?Could it be that they are going to welcome Zhao Guan back to take over as the gang leader? He was right.All the important leaders of the Qing Gang have come to the desert at this moment, welcoming Zhao Guan as the new leader of the Qing Gang.Elder Shao Shisan, Li Sibiao, Nian Dawei, Tian Zhong, Ma Binlong, Qi Fengben, and the altar masters from the Guangzhou and Quanzhou sub-altars have all arrived. The grand gift of the leader of the gang is naturally to make Zhao Guan unable to refuse any more, and to sit on the position of the leader of the gang according to everyone's wishes.

When Zhao Guan saw so many elders of the Qing gang, he couldn't help being stunned, he knew that the old gang leader must have passed away, and everyone would wear this filial piety; the eight elders led hundreds of gangs to come here to see him, so he understood their intentions but.He hurriedly invited eight people into the tent to sit down, and asked about the time before and after Mr. Zhao's death. He learned that Mr. Zhao had passed away at the age of ninety-two, which can be called a happy funeral. He felt comforted, sad, and confused at the same time. , Said: The old gang leader is highly respected, and he enjoys his life in peace all the year round, which is also a great blessing for his old man.The lord of the guild has shown great kindness to me and worked hard to promote me. He only hates that I am far away in a foreign land and cannot see his old man for the last time!Now Yao knelt down and kowtowed to the leader's spiritual position, shedding tears.

All the elders of the Qing gang knelt down with him, but when he stood up, all the elders did not get up, Zhao Guan was stunned, but he heard Li Sibiao say in a loud voice: I see the new gang leader! Zhao Guan waved his hands again and again, and said: How can you do this?How can I afford it?Didn't I say earlier that I'm not competent?Everyone, please get up quickly! The elder Shao Shisan burst into tears, and said: "The old clan leader's order to Zhao Tanzhu to take over the clan leader's position is still in my ears. If the clan leader refuses to accept it, I will not be able to get up for a day!"The rest of the people echoed in unison and knelt down in the tent.

Zhao Guan took a deep breath, knowing that he had no room for refusal, he knelt down on the ground, and said in a loud voice: Zhao Guan is young and has little knowledge.Zhao Guan has no talent or virtue, and knows that it is difficult to take on the big responsibility, but he dare not live up to the entrustment of the leader of the first gang.You are all my good seniors and good brothers, Zhao Guan will rely on everyone to work together for the Green Gang in the future, get up quickly, or I will really kill me! Hearing that he finally agreed, the words were very sincere and responsible, so they let go of a big stone in their hearts, and immediately sat around him, discussing the funeral arrangements for the old leader, the new leader's inauguration ceremony and major affairs in the clan, until the third watch.

Zhao Guan had been busy for a whole day, and he didn't have to be alone until late at night.Li Tongxi knew that he was physically and mentally exhausted, so he brought hot tea into the account, and said: Brother Zhao, you have worked hard all day, drink a cup of hot tea and rest early. Zhao Guan hurriedly got up to pick it up, and said: Tongtong, why are you so polite to me? Li Tongxi saw that he was the new leader of the largest gang in Jianghu, but he showed no pride, let alone put on airs, he felt very comforted in his heart, and said with a smile: You are now the leader of the gang, so many of them are here today The scene of welcoming you reminds me of the scene when all the Korean officials rushed to meet me in the small fishing village when Renzong died.

Zhao Guan smiled, took her hand, and said: You are the princess of a country, the elder sister of the king, compared with me and other gang leaders like me, you are a heaven and an underground, how can you compare with me? Li Tongxi said: I was born as a princess, so that's okay.It's different for you to be the leader of the gang through your own hard work.Zhao Guan shook his head and said: That's not entirely true.There are many past reasons for this, I am so young and easy to take on this important task, how can I rely on my own ability?Most of it is due to the protection of Uncle Cheng who taught me the sword technique, and the care of the elders of the Green Gang.Li Tongxi smiled and said: The leader of the big gang is humble.In any case, you have something to do yourself.Since you have agreed to them, are you planning to go back to the Central Plains?When are you going to hit the road?

Zhao Guandao: It is tomorrow.Tongtong, pack up and go on the road with me, okay?Li Tongxi said: This is natural.What about Haotian?Zhao Guan nodded and said: I just want to talk to him.is he backLi Tongxi said: "I came back in the evening, I saw you were busy, so I stayed in my tent." Zhao Guan stood up, kissed Li Tongxi on the face, and said softly: We are leaving early tomorrow morning, you should rest early.I'll go talk to Xiaosan and I'll be back in a while. Zhao Guan came to Ling Haotian's tent and saw him sitting by the fire staring at the flames, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he called out: "Little San'er."

Ling Haotian looked up at him, smiled and said: Brother Zhao, congratulations. Zhao Guan shook his head and said: My brother, why congratulate me?Little Saner, I have to go back to the Central Plains tomorrow.It happened so fast that I didn't have time to discuss it with you.what are you going to do Ling Haotian said: I originally wanted to go back to the Central Plains, and I was considering whether to take you with me.That's fine now, we'll go our separate ways. Zhao Guan sat down by the fire, looked down at the hands he was holding each other, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Little San'er, I have been hiding something from you for the past two years, if you want to scold me severely and beat me up, you will be punished." up to you.But now is the time for me to tell you the truth. Ling Haotian was stunned, and asked: What's the truth? Zhao Guandao: Look at this.He handed over a letter, but saw that the cover of the letter said Zhao Dajian, leader of the Chengqing Gang, and Zheng Yan of the Dragon Gang was written on the bottom. Ling Haotian was stunned, and hurriedly opened the letter to read it, but it was a short letter, telling the leader of the Dragon Gang, Ling Shuangfei, that in order to concentrate on studying martial arts, he decided to stay away from the world, go to the mountains to practice, and hand over all the affairs of the Dragon Gang to Yun Feifan and Zheng Baoan. .
