Chapter 1 You want to drive me away? I'll slaughter all the Wagang bandits one day!
Wagang Village, Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.
Today, in accordance with the will of Heaven, we worship the flag and elect a king, with all the leaders, great and small, gathered together.
The crowd split into left and right sides, but their eyes were fixed on the young man in the middle, who was wearing a black robe and a golden crown that tied his hair up.
The boy's name was Lü Xiao, and he had been here for more than half a year.
He came to the flag-raising ceremony to participate in the election of the king with the intention of just joining in the fun.
Unexpectedly, neither Qin Qiong nor Zhai Rang saw the flag move when they bowed to it.
As he ascended, the flag was blown up by the wind, signifying divine approval.
While it's a good thing for a pie to fall from the sky, Lü Xiao didn't think so.
He believed he was only good at managing logistics and devising strategies, and had no desire for the position of chieftain.
After Xu Maogong and the others came out of the back room, they publicly declined the throne that they had unexpectedly obtained.
Thinking of this, Lü Xiao smiled brightly, his eyes full of openness.
After all, in terms of prestige, Qin Qiong's horse and mace were renowned throughout Shandong.
In terms of loyalty, Shan Xiongxin, as the leader of the bandits, had friends all over the world.
In terms of martial prowess, there are many skilled fighters in the village, and these people are the only ones who can lead Wagang.
A moment later, Qin Qiong and the others emerged from the back room one after another.
Looking at Lü Xiao's bright smile, Cheng Yaojin felt helpless.
This young man was so sincere, but in the end, he was wronged.
Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang exchanged a smile. Lü Xiao was not worthy to be the king of Wagang Village.
Both men had their reasons, and Xu Maogong's reason was quite simple.
Lu Xiao is ruthless and difficult to control.
Only by eliminating or driving away this person can he install a compliant puppet.
Wang Bodang, on the other hand, was driven by a personal grudge. Some time ago, his brothers went down the mountain to plunder and accidentally killed some civilians.
When Lü Xiao found out, he showed no mercy and beheaded him as a warning to others.
He held onto this grudge in his heart forever.
Besides, Lü Xiao is an outsider, so how can an outsider lead me?
Hou Junji, who came out last, lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
This flag-raising ceremony to select a king was actually a carefully planned act by Xu Maogong.
Xu Maogong arranged for him to hide under the flagpole, preparing to blow the flag with a bamboo tube so that the pre-selected candidate would be chosen by divine will.
But who would have thought that when Lü Xiao knelt down...
The large flag was indeed lifted by a strong gust of wind, fluttering loudly and disrupting all plans, which forced everyone to stage this dramatic scene of reneging on their promises.
Before Lü Xiao could speak, Qin Qiong stepped forward and said with a hint of apology:
"Zilie, after some discussion, we've decided that you're not quite suited for the throne, and we're preparing to choose another wise ruler."
"what?"
Lu Xiao's smile froze instantly, and he stood there stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
He really didn't want to be the chieftain, but there was a condition!
I can do without it, but you can't take it from me!
"You decided to choose the king by bowing to the flag, and the wind blowing the flag is the will of Heaven." Lu Xiao's voice gradually rose, filled with suppressed anger.
"You think you can just dismiss me with a simple 'not suitable'? Do you all really think I, Lü, can be bullied at will?"
"You still have the nerve to question me?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Bodang immediately stepped forward, pointed his finger directly at Lü Xiao's nose, and sternly rebuked him.
"You are nothing but a heartless, disloyal, and unjust scoundrel. Do you even deserve to sit in the top seat of Wagang?"
The other Wagangzhai generals, seeing this scene, all prepared to watch the show.
Especially those sworn brothers from Jialiu Tower, who were already sticking together for mutual support, regarded Lü Xiao as an outsider.
The position of chieftain should rightfully belong to one's own brothers; how can an outsider be worthy of it?
Zhai Rang and the others remained expressionless. Had things really come to this point, turning against each other?
When Wagang Village was attacked by Qin Qiong and others, they fought against them, but in the end, they couldn't even stop Cheng Yaojin.
Qin Qiong and his companions were already famous in the martial arts world, known for their chivalry and possessing unparalleled martial arts skills.
Finally, they gathered together and discussed the matter. They concluded that if they continued fighting, they would not only be unable to hold their ground, but would also be killed by Qin Qiong and the others.
They finally reached a consensus to seek peace, and only then did they open the gates of the village to welcome Qin Qiong into the village.
The results of it?
Today's actions suggest that Qin Qiong and his entourage were not as heroic as one might have imagined.
Lu Xiao's face changed drastically from Wang Bodang's rebuke, his chest heaving violently. He suddenly retorted:
"How am I unrighteous, disloyal, or unjust?"
"Killing our Wagang brothers is inhumane!" Xu Maogong stepped forward, listing the crimes in a stern voice.
"To surrender the city and its stronghold is unjust!"
To abandon Zhai Rang and befriend us is disloyalty!
"Hahaha!"
Lu Xiao suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sorrow.
Are these the righteous and chivalrous heroes of Wagang?
Is this the legendary backstab?
"You call yourselves righteous men, but Wang Bodang and his brothers plundered the people. I killed them as a warning to others. How is that unrighteous?"
"I do not wish for bloodshed on both sides. How could it be unjust to welcome you into the city?"
"The old and new forces are at odds, and I'm mediating between them to prevent a full-blown conflict. How is that disloyal?"
"It's not that I, Lü Xiao, am heartless, unjust, or disloyal; it's that I, Lü Xiao, was blind!"
"What heroes of the martial world, what righteous outlaws! They're all selfish, heartless, and treacherous people!"
Lu Xiao looked disdainful and vented his anger.
Qin Shubao, a man of unparalleled righteousness, led the heroes and valiant men of Shandong to Wagang.
What a righteous and chivalrous man! What a hero!
He had heard a saying before he traveled through time.
The three sworn brothers of the Peach Garden, the incense burner of Wagang, and the Liangshan Marsh.
He imagined that the brotherhood of the three brothers would begin with their oath of brotherhood, but he never expected it to end in Wagang!
[The host has been detected to have lost faith in the heroes of Wagang. You are now given the opportunity to choose again.]
[I. Continue to stay in Wagang as a coward, and you'll be shunned by everyone and even dogs. Reward: The power of four turtles – Turtle Shell and Turtle Shield!]
[II. Leave Wagang, and one day slaughter all the treacherous people of Wagang. Reward: The power of Ancestor Lü Bu, Lü Bu Set!]
System?
Upon hearing the sound in his mind, Lü Xiao immediately thought of the online novels he had read before; it seemed that transmigrators all had this thing.
Aside from being handsome, he's utterly useless!
Even as a descendant of Lü Bu, the bravest general in the army, he lacked both strength and talent in his generation.
Abandoning martial arts for academic pursuits was a choice he had to make.
But then again, it's better to be a centurion than a scholar.
Especially in the Sui and Tang dynasties, strength was the most important thing.
What are Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu, those fierce generals who all possessed the strength of ten thousand jin? They all relied on their natural talent.
He, on the other hand, is someone who needs to rely on the system to grow!
Sit down!
"Choose two! I choose two!"
Lu Xiao was overjoyed. If he had the strength of Li Yuanba or Yuwen Chengdu, would Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang have looked down on him?
I wonder if the power of our ancestor Lü Bu can hold up here.
Seeing that Lü Xiao was considering, Xu Maogong's heart skipped a beat.
They've already humiliated Lü Xiao so much, how could this guy possibly endure the humiliation and stay?
Wang Bodang also sensed something was wrong and quickly added some fuel to the fire.
"Lu Xiao, I know you're angry and that's just what you said in anger. We won't take it to heart."
"The position of Wagang will go to Yaojin, but you will still be our brother."
