It was March 24th, the day designated by the Beggars' Sect's ancestors for their annual meeting. This year, Huang Rong had proactively sent out invitations, inviting numerous leaders to witness the election of the Beggars' Sect leader.
Due to the special position of the Beggars' Sect in the Wulin Alliance, and the fact that Huang Rong and Guo Jing are quite trusted by Xiaolongnu, all the people who come here are the leaders of various sects. Some small sects even come here shamelessly just to get on the express train of the Wulin Alliance.
After all, the record of defeating 100,000 with 5,000 troops was too astonishing, and the Wulin Alliance was now engaged in large-scale construction, especially in establishing bases around various sects to support the poor and throw out a large amount of resources.
Even after the captured weapons arrived, they actually implemented three years of compulsory education, requiring children over the age of six to attend school. This made all the sects eager to join the Wulin Alliance...
The main reason is... if they don't join, they will be despised to death by the people around them!
You have to remember, this was ancient times! Don't you know how much Chinese families want their children to succeed? Wouldn't a free admission place be enviable?
So, it was just a small Beggar Gang conference, but later more and more people came, and it was more grand and glorious than the previous two martial arts conferences!
Huang Rong was so annoyed by the guests she was receiving these days that everyone was dumbfounded. Every day, countless sects came to ask about the conditions for joining the Wulin Alliance... She was so annoyed that she discussed with her father Huang Yaoshi and decided to invite Xiaolongnu and other high-level members of the Beggar Gang to attend the meeting. After the Beggar Gang successfully elected, she would publicly announce the conditions for joining the Wulin Alliance.
Yes, joining the alliance now is not like before, where you only need to sign three covenants!
"Big Brother, do you think we should go to this Beggars' Guild Conference?"
When sending Huang Rong away, Xiaolongnu only told her that she would consider whether to attend the conference or not, and did not give a definite answer.
Di Fan stroked his chin. After spending so much time with the leaders of the various factions within the Wulin Alliance, he felt the urge to grow a beard himself...
[Speaking of which, should I also follow the local customs? This man doesn't have a beard, which always gives people an immature feeling...]
“Senior Brother!”
Xiao Longnu couldn't help but grumbled! "Brother, what are you thinking about? Growing a beard isn't cool at all! It pricks my fingers when I touch it!"
"oh oh!"
Di Fan was finally awakened by Xiao Longnu and quickly looked at her: "Junior Sister, what do you want me to do?"
"I say, the Beggars' Guild Conference, do you think I should go?"
Xiao Longnu emphasized this again, unable to resist revealing her childish demeanor... Her usually cold and stunning beauty made her look like a fairy who had suddenly descended to the mortal realm... Di Fan was completely stunned. It was only because they had more contact with her on a daily basis that he didn't lose his composure...
"Ahem, you're talking about the Beggars' Guild Conference. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go."
[Junior sister, you seem to have become more beautiful again...]
[I really don’t know which boy will be lucky enough to get it in the future…]
The corners of Xiaolongnu's mouth twitched. "Senior Brother, why are all your focuses so strange? Hmm... Speaking of which, have I really become more beautiful?"
"Okay, then I won't go. That scene is too disgusting. Brother, please go there on my behalf and ask Brother Zhong to calm the situation."
"OK."
Di Fan agreed immediately, and at the same time, he collected his thoughts and recalled the Beggars' Sect Conference that appeared in the original works of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes...
[Speaking of which, it seems like trouble is about to break out at this world's Beggars' Guild Conference?]
A hundred years ago during the Northern Song Dynasty, a Beggars' Sect assembly bid farewell to their most promising leader, Qiao Feng. Had it not been for Huang Rong and Guo Jing's presence at the Junshan Assembly, the Beggars' Sect would have been taken over by Yang Kang. When Huang Rong was passing on the throne, Lu Youjiao was murdered, and Huo Du disguised himself to join the Beggars' Sect. If it weren't for Yang Guo, a Mongolian would have nearly become the leader...
[This Beggars' Gang Conference is truly filled with disasters...]
[Wait, Huang Rong is passing on the throne? Huo Du? This conference, could it be...?]
Di Fan's face changed. Speaking of which, the Beggars' Clan Assembly in history was also to celebrate Guo Xiang's birthday, which was at least 16 years ago! But the Mongolian army suffered such a huge loss, who knows if the wheel of history has been turned back again!
"Junior sister, you'd better..."
Pausing, Di Fan turned to look at Xiao Long Nu… Coincidentally, Xiao Long Nu had also stood up from her seat in shock because of Di Xin’s inner voice…
Lu Youjiao was Huang Rong's personal mentor, the next generation leader of the Beggars' Sect! While not exceptional in both determination and ability, he was certainly an average-caliber individual, able to ensure the sect's development remained under control! This was especially true given Huang Rong's early preparations, having already handed over most of the Beggars' Sect's affairs to Lu Youjiao...
But if an accident really happens, their entire plan will probably be affected!
"Brother," Xiao Longnu said with a serious expression, "The Mongolian army just suffered a great loss, and the Song Dynasty should have received the report. Since they haven't taken any action yet, I'm afraid there will be changes in this meeting. This time, I will also participate! You go and inform Master Zhong, Huang Yaoshi, General Yue, and others that all the high-ranking members of the Wulin Alliance must attend this meeting. And have the Wulin Army don armor and take over the defense of Xiangyang City, ready for battle at any time!"
"good!"
Di Fan nodded cautiously. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! Without a word, he rushed out of the room and went to the military camp to look for Yue Shuo and the others.
The Beggars' Sect is involved in key issues such as resource allocation and transportation, intelligence gathering, etc. of the entire Wulin Alliance, and absolutely no mistakes can be made!
.................
So, when it was noon and the Beggars' Sect Conference was about to begin... all the leaders of the various factions participating in the conference were surprised to find that the top leaders of the Wulin Alliance, whom they had been eager to see, had actually appeared in person!
Needless to say, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are the leaders and family members of the Beggars' Sect, so it is normal for Huang Yaoshi to participate... But as the Beggars' Sect Conference is approaching, the leader, deputy leader, commander of the Wulin Alliance and others are all present, which makes them a little surprised!
Is it possible that the Beggars' Sect is so highly regarded by the Wulin Alliance?
The Beggars' Sect disciples were greatly encouraged, and they held their heads high and were filled with pride... But only those who truly understood the composition of the Wulin Alliance knew that something big might happen at this conference!
Especially Tianming, Ma Yu, He Zudao and other elders from various sects, they all knew that the Wulin Alliance had an unwritten biggest taboo, and that was close contact between the sects and the army!
The strategy set by Emperor Fan was to separate the military and politics, no matter who it was! Even Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi, and even the most famous Guo Jing, because of his wife, could only be responsible for the training of new recruits and could not become a general of the Wulin Army, let alone the commander-in-chief!
This time, however, the Wulin Alliance's military staff, operations department, and Wulin Army commander all appeared, which gave the various faction leaders, who knew the inside story, a sense of unease...
