Fish swimming around the world

According to the rules, Jiang Qi should recite the sacrificial inscription next, then climb on the dragon's head, follow the waterfall and throw the three animals into the deep pool, which would complete the ceremony.

So Jiang Qi said to Cao Qiudao next to him: "Mr. Cao, please present the memorial text to me."

Mr. Cao only responded twice, but there was no movement.

Jiang Qi frowned: "Mr. Cao, the memorial text."

Cao Qiudao finally bowed his hand and smiled awkwardly: "Miss, let's choose a gang leader first and then recite the sacrificial inscription."

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Mr. Cao, what are you talking about?"

Cao Qiudao lowered his head and cupped his hands, but just smiled dryly.

Suddenly someone said loudly: "He is not talking nonsense. Who will recite the sacrificial inscription if he doesn't choose the gang leader first?"

Jiang Qi looked up and saw an old man in brocade robes walking out of the crowd.

"Elder Yang?"

"It's me." The old man in brocade robes said calmly: "The Black Sail Gang has not had an official leader for more than half a year. Today is the day of Jiang's sacrifice and I would like to ask my lady to preside over it and elect the official leader to succeed me, so that I can lead the Black Sail Gang."

Jiang Qi said angrily: "What does Elder Yang mean by this? I am the leader of the gang, why do I need to choose again!"

Elder Yang smiled and said: "Young lady, her prestige and cultivation are difficult to convince the public. It is better to choose someone else to act as the leader of the gang, and then hand her back to the young lady after she breaks through to the venerable realm."

Jiang Qi sneered: "Elder Yang, are you planning to ask me to abdicate?"

Elder Yang shook his head: "Miss, there is no need to be angry. Yang did not mean this, and what he said is clear. Everyone in the Black Sail Gang is a fierce person, and Miss's cultivation qualifications are not enough to deter her. For the sake of the future of our gang, I ask Miss to step aside for the time being." ”

Jiang Qi laughed angrily: "How dare you, Yang Zhaoqing, to commit such a crime."

Elder Yang cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, but I am just speaking on behalf of everyone. Please forgive me, Miss..."

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked around: "You think so too?"

An old man in black robe walked out slowly: "Wang, please put the overall situation first."

"Oh? So there is you, Elder Wang Lun." Jiang Qi stared at the other party and said.

After a while, another person walked out with an apologetic expression: "This is a temporary solution, please forgive me, Miss."

"Elder Chen..." Jiang Qi looked ugly: "Anyone else, please come forward."

Finally, five elders came out to express their approval. But except for Yang Zhaoqing and Wang Lun, Jiang Fan obviously saw that the other three were a little unnatural.

"Haha... Five of the eight elders came, what about the three?" Jiang Qi looked around the crowd and asked.

Elder Yang said calmly: "The three of them are busy with something and it's not convenient. They have given full authority to me."

"The Black Sail Gang has rules. You cannot be absent on the day of Jiang's sacrifice. Isn't it inconvenient?" Jiang Qi sneered: "I guess it's not very free."

Elder Yang chuckled lightly: "Miss, why did you say this? Five of the eight elders have come. According to the rules of the gang, it is enough to initiate this matter."

Jiang Qi's eyes were cold: "What if I don't agree?"

Elder Yang sighed: "Miss, why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Qi snorted: "Yang Zhaoqing and others are the ones below, please come and take them down for me!"

However, among the thousands of people around, no one moved.

Jiang Qi looked around with a gloomy expression: "Okay, great. I think these are all your people."

Yang Zhaoqing waved his hand casually: "The Black Sail Gang brothers are all our own. But everyone, like me, hopes that the Black Sail Gang will be better."

Jiang Qi glared at everyone: "Do you really want to rebel with them?"

Yang Zhaoqing said with a hint of ridicule: "Miss, there is no need to embarrass them. We don't want to rebel. We just want the lady to retreat behind the scenes for the time being."

Jiang Qi said bitterly: "I can't believe that you have deployed so carefully. I must have taken advantage of the opportunity when I was out to replace all of you with your close associates."

The black-robed elder seemed to be impatient, and immediately said: "Yes, you are a woman with shallow cultivation, how can you lead the Black Sail Gang? Everyone is not satisfied. What you see now are brothers who are truly loyal to the Black Sail Gang. You There’s no need to try to resist, there’s no one for you here.”

Jiang Qi gritted his teeth: "Don't forget, you are poisoned by poison, aren't you afraid of death?"

The black-robed elder snorted: "Mr. Cao knows the current affairs better than you. He got us the antidote long before you left."

Jiang Qi glared at Mr. Cao angrily, "Cao Qiudao, you are a snake and a rat, I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place."

Cao Qiudao said helplessly: "I just want to save my son who is far away in Wei State, and I hope Miss will forgive me. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Miss, as long as you abdicate, they will not make things difficult for you."

"Shut up!" Jiang Qi snorted coldly: "Cao, it's unreasonable for me to trust you so much."

Cao Qiudao helplessly cupped his hands and stepped back without saying a word.

Wang Lun snorted: "Even now, you are still showing off your power as a gang leader. Without the threat of poison, you are just a female figure who cannot stand on the stage."

Jiang Qi sneered: "Do you know whether the antidote is real or fake?"

Wang Lun said disdainfully: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, as long as I capture you, do you still dare to fight to the death?"

"What a good plan!" Jiang Qi said: "That's why you replaced all the people to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Wang Lun sneered: "I call you Miss again just to give the old gang leader face. I don't know who you took refuge in, or what despicable means you used to kill the old gang leader and the young gang leader, and also transferred a large amount of the Black Sail Gang's wealth to him Dude, you think all the brothers are blind? We are just trying to get rich. What are you doing? Spending the money that everyone worked so hard for inexplicable things, you are not worthy of all our brothers now? Brothers, we want to express our dissatisfaction and seek justice for the old gang leader and the young gang leader."

"Unfair? Just?" Jiang Qi said: "Since I took charge of Black Sail, my brothers' casualties have been reduced by 50%, but they have made more money. I have never been stingy in giving you money, and I am still using a lot of money to pave the way for everyone in the future. , you are short-sighted and only know how to divide gold into small scales, so how can you understand what I am planning?"

The black-robed elder said disdainfully: "It's all bullshit, fooling a three-year-old child. Aren't you using your brothers' hard-earned money to worship the man behind the scenes in order to seek your own wealth? At this point, we are too lazy to talk to you. Just surrender and abdicate. , after everyone confirms that the poison is gone, we can let you fly away. "

Jiang Qi couldn't help laughing: "After all, you are still afraid of death. What if I just refuse to hand over the real antidote and want to kill you all?"

Wang Lun sneered: "I've known about your skills for a long time. Come, bring me here!"

The next moment, I saw Alai being brought forward by a large band with five flowers, and more than a hundred people were following behind her. Obviously, they are all Jiang Qi's cronies.

"Miss, are we going to break up in one fell swoop, or are we going to die and die? It's your choice."

Wang Lun looked at her teasingly.

"You!" Jiang Qi was furious, "You have done a great job."

Elder Yang smiled: "Miss, that's it. The Black Sail Gang are water bandits, and your method won't work. As long as some time passes and we find that the poison has indeed been removed, we will let you go."
