How to work

Both Lu Li and Shen Wansha wanted to rush through the crowd to have a look at the bamboo building, but unfortunately there were too many people to squeeze through.

After trying to find a way, a group of men in the south suddenly retreated like a tide, and the drumbeat suddenly became extremely passionate, and people's eardrums hurt after each shock, and their hearts fluttered, as if they could get excited with the drumbeat.

After the crowd retreated, a platform half as tall as a person was exposed, and a big man in black background and silver stripes came up to speak, saying that all the handles were ready, and the gang competition officially started in half an hour, and there were brothers who wanted to play now. You can go on stage to heat the scene.

Now that there was a stage, the people who had been scattered in small circles immediately gathered around, scrambling to get on the stage to have a real discussion with others.

Those who watched the excitement, applauded, encouraged, and so on.

Soon the people on the stage who were "discussing" saw blood.

Shen Wansha hugged Lu Li's arm nervously, this gangster is so scary!

Lu Li also subconsciously backed away, it was too violent!

Zhao Zhu dragged Lu Li, Shen Wansha fell behind Lu Li, and the three of them walked out of the circle.

Out of curiosity, Shen Wansha kept stretching his neck to look back, but Lu Li didn't look away from the high platform.

Zhao Zhu squeezed Lu Li's hand, "Lu Li."

"Huh?" Lu Li looked back puzzled.Zhao Zhu used so much strength that his hands hurt from pinching.

"Look at that place." Zhao Zhu gestured in several directions with his eyes, "There, and there."

Lu Li looked over one by one...it was still a group of strangely dressed people with vicious demeanor who were obviously gangsters, nothing special.

Zhao Zhu reminded, "Their weapons."

Lu Li looked again, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

There are many ways of martial arts in the Central Plains, all eighteen types of weapons are available, and some have been modified according to their own characteristics, but the weapons in the hands of the group of people Zhao Zhu refers to...however you look at them, they are not ordinary.

The group of people wore short swords, pointed like spears, white with green tinge, extremely sharp, very familiar, it had appeared in the Ciguang Temple case, Zhao Zhu said it was the very famous "Xia Guojian".

A group of people wear something like a knife or a sword. If it is a knife, it has only the width of a sword. If it is a sword, it has only a single edge. The lines are not as straight as the Central Plains swords, but have some curved arcs. Some are like Japanese swords.

Another group of people, with thick golden rings on their ears, thick eyebrows and thick lips, weapons are even more grotesque, round triangles are like wind wheels, halberds must have barbs...

Lu Lixin gradually raised his heart, and when he looked carefully, these people also had very distinctive appearances. One group was tall, with high noses, and deep eyebrows; , are very fat.

Seeing that he was paying attention, Zhao Zhu explained one by one, "We are from Xixia, Japanese, and Uyghur."

Lu Li opened his eyes wide, foreigner!His legendary fiancé, King Ping, has been guarding the border all the time and has no time to care about him. He also knows how to tear people up with his hands. He is famous for his brutality and brutality. How come foreigners don't know when they visit the Central Plains!

Zhao Zhu didn't know what Lu Li was thinking of, but he could guess the direction, "These people sneaked in." He squinted his eyes, and his fingers clicked, and he was very upset!Rats still really know how to make holes!

Lu Li only thought of it for a moment.No matter how much the Great Xia recuperates, it has been many years of victorious battles to subdue the surrounding alien races. The deterrent effect is not small. If others dare not attack, they must be smuggling.

It's just, "What are they doing here?" They also sneaked into the dragon party held by the underworld!

"There must be a plan." Zhao Zhu's voice seemed to be frosty, and his murderous look suddenly rose.Since you dare to come, don't go back!He gestured quietly with his fingers behind his back.

Xing Zuo Hongyou, who followed not far away, immediately understood, called his subordinates, and divided them into several small teams to follow several groups of people.

Feeling the different atmosphere, Lu Li didn't dare to be careless anymore, and held Shen Wansha's hand tightly to prevent him from running around.There are a lot of people here, if they get separated, what happens, he is afraid that it will be too late to save the little local tyrant.

Anyway, no matter how lively Shenglong will be, it has nothing to do with him, so Lu Li focused on looking for Baifang.

It's a pity that Bai Fang didn't find it, so he listened to the treasure of the Shuilong Gang.It is said that the reason why the Rising Dragon Festival was held on the site of the Xingyuan Water Dragon Gang this time was because Tu Tong, the leader of the Water Dragon Gang, was extremely willing to make the treasure of the town gang. In the end, whoever wins the competition and is elected as the leader of the new world will get the treasure of the town.

It's just that no one knows what the treasure of the town is.

Lu Li wanted to laugh when he heard it, he said it so mysteriously, that is to say, you youngsters don't know, those big bosses who are willing to travel thousands of miles to compete in martial arts must know what this thing is, and they really want it.

The Rising Dragon Club is about to start. All the gangsters, no matter the boss or the younger brother, are looking at the platform, not in the mood to find trouble and quarrel with others. Lu Li turned around for a while and found that it was safe, and his mood gradually slowed down a lot.

Tired after walking around for a long time, Lu Li found a place to sit, and the drums began to sound again. Wu Hao, the second leader of the Water Dragon Gang, spoke on behalf of the leader, and the first round of competition began.

The place he was looking for was a high rockery, the rockery was irregular, the heights were patchwork, and... it was full of people.

Sitting on the lower left of him was an old man with gray hair but very bright eyes. He looked like Lian Jiazi.It’s just that he was wearing strange clothes, not as non-mainstream as gangsters, but special enough, he was wearing a sack like a torn sack, the smock was dusty and full of patches, it was very wide, covering his whole body, Only her bare calves were exposed, and she was wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals underneath, making her look a bit sloppy.

Seeing Lu Li staring straight at him, the old man didn't mind, "Little baby, are you also here to participate in the Dragon Festival?"

"No, I just came to watch the excitement." Lu Li shook his head.The old man felt very detailed and peaceful, and he was out of tune with the gangsters at the scene, and he didn't seem to be here to participate.

The old man smiled and showed his yellow teeth, "I guess you are not either, you are so good looking, and there is no evil light in your eyes."

At this time, the martial arts competition had already started on the stage. The old man was looking at the field and the surroundings at the same time. He was obviously a little careless, but he could still comment to Lu Li, "This tall and thin man is unstable, and he will lose three times in a row. ;This fat man has a solid foundation, the only downside is that he is too fat and has no breath, as long as the opponent can persist, he can't win."

"The old man knows martial arts?" Lu Li leaned forward slightly, seeming to be chatting.

The old man looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were clear and innocent, he was still a child.Then he stroked his sparse beard, "I know a thing or two."

"Then the old man knows about the Dragon Club?"

"At my age, if I say I don't know, I'd be lying to you."

"I don't understand, old man, please tell me!" Lu Li looked at the old man with a bright smile and anticipation in his eyes.

The old man couldn't bear to reject the innocent boy, so he shook his head and started talking to him.

It turns out that this Dragon Club is held once every 20 years, and every time it is quite lively, each leader brings his younger brother to the venue, and the whole gang picks the three best fighters to compete on stage.In a battle of wheels, defeat means elimination. Whose subordinate will stand on the stage in the end? Whose boss will be the new leader of this year. If there are no extremely special circumstances, all gangs will have to abide by their rules for the next 20 years. lead.

The underworld acts differently from others. To be able to lead a gang, one must have strong skills and wrists. This is the first thing to do. It must be the ability to convince people with martial arts. If you can't beat your subordinates in a single fight, your subordinates will not be convinced either.The rules of the Rising Dragon Club are that you have to find three people who can fight from your own gang to take the stage, but generally those who want to compete for the leader will go to the gang leader themselves.

And this organizer is even more talkative.

Although such a grand event costs money and effort, there are many benefits that can be obtained later. The underworld is all about licking blood to make a living. There are too few opportunities once in 20 years, so every time before it is held, it is necessary to fight for it. Those who snatch this opportunity are usually those who intend to compete for the top spot, have good financial resources and manpower, and are able to release the one and two unlucky ones.

So this Tu Tong was able to persuade people to put the venue of Shenghuilong in Xingyuan, which is really quite capable.

Lu Li nodded repeatedly.The Water Dragon Gang is not considered a big gang compared to others, and Tu Tong can also do this. He is indeed capable, but he died a little earlier.

"It's just that he died earlier." The old man also sighed.

"Just now I heard people say that this time the Rising Dragon Festival will be very lucky," Lu Li said innocently and curiously. "Does the old man know how great the prize is?"

"Of course," the old man looked around, approached Lu Li, and whispered as if coaxing a child, "This time the lottery is a lot—a lot of money."

"A large amount of money?" Lu Li was curious, how much is a large amount of money?Is it worth the old man being so mysterious?It's really a lottery, how do you take away so much money?What should I do if someone robs me?

"You are too young to understand," the old man chuckled, pointing to a golden ball at the back of the tournament stage, "Did you see that golden ball? Here, the winner gets the golden ball, and he can take it whenever he wants, without worrying about anything else."

The golden ball was as big as a human head, hung on a high shelf, tied with red silk on the side, swaying in the wind, and looked very festive.

The underworld is doing exciting business, and most importantly, there is no shortage of money. If it is said that the lottery this time is money, and it is only a large sum of money, it can attract so many people, Lu Li does not believe it.

Besides, among this group of people, there were foreigners who mixed in.

Although he didn't know how these people got in and what their specific purpose was, but they ran here together and were still queuing up behind to compete in the competition. If their goal had nothing to do with this lottery, it was impossible.

Lu Li smiled, and his voice was like a warm spring breeze, "The old man must know more than this, tell me more."

The old man suddenly became vigilant, stared at Lu Li for a while, then moved his eyes to the distance, and stopped talking.

This is to realize that he is talking.

Lu Li sighed lightly, and glanced at Zhao Zhu, with a questioning intent in his eyes.

Zhao Zhu was also secretly observing the old man, at this moment he squeezed Lu Li's hand, signaling that he can do whatever he wants without restraint.

Lu Li was ready to intimidate the old man, showing his official status or something, such as having a good relationship with Baifu Yin, such as Ping Wang's fiancee.He felt that this old man was not like a gangster, he might be a member of the Jianghu, but most Jianghu people do not want to deal with the government, and it is best to form a good relationship.

"Does the old man know who I am?" He leaned forward slightly, his eyes were burning, and his aura was like flames.

The old man snorted coldly, "Bah! Hunting geese all the year round, I don't want to be pecked by geese. The old man has been in the rivers and lakes all his life, thinking that this pair of tricks is okay, but he didn't expect his eyes to be covered with shit. The little milk sheep!"

"Use it if you have the means. If the old man is afraid that his eyeballs will be gouged out for you—" the old man was speaking harshly when his voice suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at the wooden sign that slipped out of Lu Li's neck.

Lu Li was also stunned, subconsciously looked down.

It was obtained from Wang Chenshi, the wooden sign left by his mother Miao Hongxiao's loyal servant, Miao Qi.
