"The winner is Yang Guo!"
"Gang leader!"
"Gang leader!"
"Gang leader!"
The cheers of countless beggars resounded throughout the venue!
No Beggar Gang disciple raised any objection. To be precise, Yang Guo's identity as the nephew of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, coupled with his master's nephew, made him an extremely suitable candidate for the position of the leader of the Beggar Gang.
Anyone who knew anything about the Wulin Alliance had a guess: the Wulin Alliance would definitely strike at the Song Dynasty and Mongolia when the time was right! They were training armies, building bases, investing countless resources, and winning over the surrounding people—all in an effort to win over the people!
And from ancient times to the present, who has ever needed to win over the hearts and minds of the people? Only the royal family!
Since the Wulin Alliance was planning a rebellion, the Beggars' Sect disciples wanted a better position, so naturally they would find someone who had a close relationship with the Alliance Leader to be their leader. That would be the best choice! If this person also had a close relationship with the previous leader, that would be a great thing!
Yang Guo is the best candidate to be the leader of the gang, as he meets the needs of both parties!
Huang Rong walked onto the stage with a green jade staff, smiling, and looked around...
The beggars and heroes gradually quieted down, waiting for Yang Guo's succession ceremony...
"Now, is there anyone willing to step up and challenge Guer?"
According to the rules, Huang Rong asked again.
This time, no one really spoke... The heroes were even urging them on.
"Boss Huang, there's no need for someone more suitable than Brother Yang!"
"The Beggars' Sect will surely flourish in Brother Yang's hands!"
"Yes, yes, don't delay, just announce it!"
Seeing that Yang Guo has won the hearts of all the Beggar Gang members and has the support of many heroes, Huang Rong smiled and was about to hand the Green Jade Staff to Yang Guo. When the ceremony of succession to the leader of the Gang began, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky south of the Grand Parade Grounds! Inside a simple thatched hut over ten meters high, Confucian sages such as Confucius and Mencius appeared, as if teaching their students...
Then, a refined voice suddenly appeared in the field...
"Isn't it inappropriate for a descendant of the Jin people to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect in the Great Song Dynasty Wulin? If he's not weak, let me give it a try."
"Who is sneaking around and disturbing the Beggars' Sect leader succession ceremony? Get out here!"
Huang Yaoshi was furious! His own daughter simply wanted to hand over the position of leader. First, the designated heir, Lu Youjiao, was murdered, and now, someone was questioning the identity of Huang Rong's nephew, Yang Guo... What's going on? Is Peach Blossom Island really so unpopular?!
On Peach Blossom Island, a strange phenomenon appeared as the blue sea and tide rose. Huang Yaoshi jumped into the air, and a small stone filled with endless innate power turned into a roaring white tiger and pounced towards the direction where the sound came from!
"Senior Huang, you're getting angry!"
A palm popped out, and the white tiger phenomenon was as easy to suppress as a kitten... The stone even fell between the two fingers of the palm and could not move forward an inch!
Everyone looked in the direction of the palm, and saw a scholar dressed in Qingshan Confucian robes walking out slowly, taking the steps of Yu, rising into the sky, with a Confucian vision above his head, and confronting Huang Yaoshi in the air without flinching!
The man looks quite young, about 25 or 26 years old, with elegant manners. He must be a Confucian!
Xiaolongnu and Zhong Mingliang frowned slightly. There are actually great scholars in the court of the Song Dynasty?
In Buddhism, the innate nature is called Arhat, in Taoism, it is called Zhenren, and in Confucianism, it is called Daru! There was once a rumor that when Laozi passed through Hangu Pass to the west, purple air came from the east for three thousand miles; when Confucius traveled around the countries, his three thousand disciples were all great Confucian scholars... It can be seen that among the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, there was never a weak person; each one was a powerful martial artist!
The so-called scholars today are powerless, which is simply because they have thrown away the teachings of their ancestors... and those present today must be great Confucian scholars who have truly read the classics and comprehended the Confucian school!
"Since you're a great Confucian, why are you so sneaky? I've only heard of Confucius advocating for martyrdom and Mencius advocating for righteousness, but I've never heard of Confucianists being so cunning and so cowardly!"
Di Fan snorted lightly, signaling Huang Yaoshi to come down first. His words were sharp and hit the heart of the visitor!
"I never concealed my whereabouts, I just didn't wear my official uniform."
The newcomer chuckled and also descended...
"I am Wen Tianxiang, the new prefect of Xiangyang. I am honored to meet you all!"
The scholar saluted, but he didn't know that his reputation of self-explosion had raised a huge wave in Di Fan's heart!
[Wen...Wen...Wen Tianxiang?!]
The only truly iron-willed man of the late Song Dynasty? A man of noble character who bravely died after the fall of the Song Dynasty?
[Prime Minister Wen, who wrote "Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave behind a painting to record history" before his death, and whose poem has been passed down for thousands of years, setting an example of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for other scholars?]
【He...why is he here?!】
As a Chinese, Wen Tianxiang's status in the hearts of literati can be compared with Yue Fei!
To be honest, even Di Fan, a man of later generations, looked down on the Song Dynasty court and the Song Dynasty, and even called the Song Dynasty "Female Song", but he gradually came to admire loyal ministers like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang!
When Xiaolongnu heard Difan's inner voice, her pupils shrank... The great scholar in front of her was actually someone who could be compared with Yue Fei?
"Prefect Wen, I've long heard of your great name. I wonder why you were transferred here?"
Xiao Longnu stepped forward and arrived directly in front of Wen Tianxiang. Although the Xiangyang prefect's position was not high, the Wulin Alliance had not yet raised the banner of rebellion. From the perspective of status alone, she really had to personally intervene to be on equal terms with the other party.
Wen Tianxiang stroked his beard gently. "The Wulin Army annihilated a hundred thousand Mongolian troops in one battle, and the Song Dynasty is proud of it. He was clearly just a righteous warrior in the Jianghu, but he accomplished what we have wanted to do for many years but could not.
