Volume 10 Chapter 83
Tang Yin and Hou Ge chatted for a long time in the house. No one knew what they talked about. When they came out, Tang Yin was still the same, and Hou Ge was still cynical, but his attitude towards Tang Yin had changed a lot, and he would inadvertently show respect.
Without staying any longer, Tang Yin said goodbye to Hou Ge, Yan Xi, Shen Shu and others. No one greeted him when he came, but now that he left, Hou Ge personally saw him out the door. Looking at Tang Yin's back, Yan Xi first felt Hou Ge's abnormality and asked, "Brother Hou, what did you talk about with Tang Chu?"
Hou Ge was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed softly, without saying anything, and walked back to the room silently. At this time, everyone in Shura Gate was stunned, looking at each other, not understanding what had happened.
In the middle of the month, the gathering of Fengren Rangers was finally held as scheduled. On this day, the Wanzhong Valley, which had always been empty and seldom seen, suddenly became crowded with people. The gangs and rangers without gangs and factions who came to attend the gathering together exceeded 10,000 people. Looking up, the Wanzhong Valley was crowded with people, and it was dark and difficult to tell the number.
When Tang Yin, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and others arrived, they saw nothing else but rangers from all walks of life. At this time, it was impossible for them to squeeze to the front position. Tang Yin had been prepared. He called a Xiaoyao Sect disciple who was maintaining order not far away and handed him a letter, asking him to give it to the Xiaoyao Sect leader Zhang Dong, and he would wait for a reply here.
The Xiaoyao Sect disciple did not know Tang Yin and had never seen him before, but seeing that he looked calm and seemed to have an unusual relationship with the sect leader, the disciple did not dare to neglect it. After taking the letter, he immediately ran into the valley. After waiting for half an hour, the disciple returned, bringing a group of people with him. The leader was none other than Zhang Dong.
I don’t know if it was because he ran too fast or because he was too excited, Zhang Dong’s face flushed, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing Tang Yin from a distance, he ran even faster, leaving the people around him behind, and rushed forward, pretending to be rude. Tang Yin was even faster, and rushed to Zhang Dong first, dragging him down as he was about to kneel. People who didn’t know the inside story saw this scene and thought they were close old friends meeting and hugging each other warmly!
Tang Yin smiled and whispered in Zhang Dong’s ear: "Master Zhang, please don’t reveal my identity!"
Zhang Dong was shocked, and then he realized that Tang Yin was wearing casual clothes, and there was no ceremonial guards or guards around him. He must have come in plain clothes. He hurriedly took a step back, slightly distanced himself from Tang Yin, and bowed his head and said: "Yes, big..."
"Sir." Tang Yin reminded with a smile.
"Sir!" Zhang Dong replied like a parrot.
Tang Yin smiled and said, "I see your Xiaoyao Gate's stand is in a good position, don't mind if I go up and sit down!"
Zhang Dong didn't dare to mind, and how could he mind, he couldn't wait to welcome him! In his opinion, since the king came in person, the throne of the leader must belong to him. He nodded repeatedly at first, then shook his head repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, please... Sir, please sit up!" As he spoke, he hurriedly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
When Tang Yin walked by him, he saw Zhang Dong standing still, obviously wanting to go first, he stopped and lowered his voice again and said, "Don't be so obvious, walk with me, just like old friends."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Dong agreed repeatedly, but when he walked beside Tang Yin, he didn't dare to breathe or raise his head, which was far from his usual elegant gentleman image. Not to mention that the people of Xiaoyaomen were full of curiosity about Tang Yin's identity, even the nearby rangers were paying attention to him, and they stretched their necks to look, secretly guessing who this young man who could walk side by side with Zhang Dong was.
The Xiaoyaomen's stands were high and prominent, and they could see the ring clearly while also attracting the attention of the crowd. Tang Yin was afraid that he would be recognized, so he asked Zhang Dong for a mask. The mask was not big, made of iron, and was not exquisite, but it had no problem covering the upper half of his face. When he went up to the stands, Zhang Dong wanted to give the main seat in the middle to Tang Yin, but the latter only chose a seat in the corner to sit down. Zhang Dong didn't want to force Tang Yin, so after the latter sat down, he also sat down beside him, sent away all the disciples around him, and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't the king inform me in advance that he was coming, so that I could make some preparations in advance."
Tang Yin waved his hand and smiled, saying: "This time I am traveling incognito, just to watch the fun, I don't want to alarm anyone, and I don't want people to know that I am paying attention to this party."
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty is right."
While speaking, Tang Yin's eyes have been scanning the stage. It's good to be in a high place. Looking at the dark crowd below, Tang Yin feels like he can see all the mountains. He looked around and asked casually in a calm tone: "How confident are you, Master Zhang, in the fight for the position of leader this time?"
Zhang Dong's face became serious. While pouring tea for Tang Yin, he said: "If Wei Xiaoxiao of the Holy Hall, Hou Ge of the Shura Gate, and Zhou Kuan of the Baihui Hall don't come out in person, I am more than 80% confident."
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded, without saying anything more, picked up the teacup, and wanted to drink tea. Shangguan Yuanwu behind him took the teacup first and drank it all.
Zhang Dong was startled and looked back at Shangguan Yuanwu blankly. Tang Yin was used to it and smiled disapprovingly. When Yuanwu returned the teacup, Tang Yin motioned Zhang Dong to continue pouring tea and smiled lightly: "My brother is thirsty."
Zhang Dong was also an old man in the world, and he quickly realized that it was the king's bodyguard who was testing whether the tea was poisonous. He sighed secretly, picked up the teapot again, and continued to pour tea.
"Although Zhou Kuan is powerful, it is not impossible to defeat him. The two people who are most troublesome are Wei Xiaoxiao and Hou Ge. They are both first-class spiritual cultivators, with superb spiritual martial arts and high cultivation level. "Deep, if the two of them end up, I'm afraid... the villain will be hard to resist!" Zhang Dong showed Tang Yin a worried expression.
Tang Yin slowly drank tea and said, "Didn't I send you five masters?"
Zhang Dong smiled bitterly. Those five masters were more than enough to deal with ordinary spiritual cultivators, but if they were to face Wei Xiaoxiao and Hou Ge, they were far behind. However, it was difficult to say this directly, so Zhang Dong hesitated and did not answer it. talk.
Tang Yin glanced at him and said, "Okay, don't sit here with me for too long and attract attention. Since I am here in person today, the result must be satisfactory to me."
After hearing this, Zhang Dong felt relieved. He was picked up and trained by the King just by reading. The King would only be satisfied if he sat on the throne of alliance leader! Thinking of this, he stood up with a smile on his face and whispered: "Then...I'll excuse you, little man."
Tang Yin stopped looking at him and waved! "
The number of rangers in the valley continued to increase. By the time the rally started, nearly 20,000 rangers had arrived.
Zhang Dong claims to be the initiator of this rally, so he will naturally host the rally. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he walked in four directions, surrounded by a group of disciples, and slowly walked down the stand and onto the ring. He first looked around at the many rangers present. He was very satisfied with the number of people present, and a smile appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat, then raised his hands, making a bow, and then said: "Thank you all fellow friends for taking the time to come to Wanzhong Valley to participate in my Fengren's Ranger Rally. Here, Zhang thank you in advance. Dear friends."
Zhang Dong aroused the disgust of many rangers as soon as he opened his mouth. Listening to what he meant between the lines, he seemed to regard himself as a landlord, as if everyone came to give him face.
Some people were disgusted, but there were also those who liked him. Many gang members who had been bribed by Zhang Dong took the lead in applauding. Listening to the sparse applause from the audience, Zhang Dong bowed his hands again.
"Sect Leader Zhang, stop putting on these scenes and get down to business!"
Finally, someone among the rangers made a dissatisfied voice.
Zhang Dong straightened his face and said loudly: "Everyone must know that Ningren Ranger established the rebel party Nifengliu in order to oppose me, Dafeng. Originally, this had nothing to do with our rangers, but Nifengliu used me as Fengren Ranger. They use vicious methods, threaten and induce, and try every possible means to get it for their own use. Once they don't obey, they will kill them all. Their methods are despicable and extremely cruel. It is intolerable and intolerable. Today we are gathered here just to unite in one place. , work together to fight against Nifengliu. Our Fengren Ranger Alliance does not work for the imperial court, but only to protect ourselves. We are not willing to be the imperial court's hawks, but we will never betray our country, let alone be bullied. You keep your head above your head and swallow your anger, don’t you think so?”
His words resonated with most of the rangers, and everyone nodded, saying that Zhang Dong's words made sense. If Nifengliu only opposed the imperial court, it would be fine if he did not provoke them, but Nifengliu was so ambitious that he wanted to annex Fengren. The Ranger Gang, this is the fundamental reason why the Wind Ranger is filled with indignation.
"Sect Leader Zhang is right! We won't be the court's hawks, but we won't be treasonous and help Nifengliu fight against the court!"
"That's right! The imperial court is the imperial court, and the rangers are the rangers. It is always the case that the water in the well does not interfere with the river!"
"Nifengliu is using our Fengren rangers to fight against the imperial court and lead the charge, so that they can reap the benefits!"
"..."
The rangers said anything, but most of them echoed.
Zhang Dong smiled and waved his hands to the audience, indicating that everyone should be silent. After a while, the audience became quiet. He continued: "It seems that everyone has no objections to the alliance. Then, the next thing will be simple. We only need to elect a respected leader."
As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion in the audience started again. Everyone knew in their hearts that the leader selected now is equivalent to the leader of all the Wind Rangers. He can command and order all the Wind Rangers and gangs. How much power does this have? , how can this position not be something that everyone wants to strive for?
