"The sky can't live without sun, and the country can't live without a king. I think Sanniang is right. Although Master Yang is going west now, he can't delay the big and small things in the meeting. In my opinion, it's better to choose earlier.
A new helmsman will be created so that the soul of Master Yang can rest in peace in heaven."
The dark-skinned man who was flirting with the second-in-command stood up and said.
As soon as he said this, Chun Sanniang and Song Longping were obviously a little surprised.
Qian Guanping, the old man with the goatee, looked at the dark-skinned man and then at Song Longping: "In the opinion of the two hall masters, who should be the helmsman?"
Before the dark-skinned man could speak, Song Longping said: "I think Brother Qian is the most suitable candidate. In the past few years, Brother Qian has been assisting Captain Yang and has handled the general affairs in an orderly manner. Apart from Brother Qian, Brother Qian is the most suitable candidate for this position."
Who else can be worthy of it?"
The second child said, "Hall Master Qian is indeed qualified for the position of helmsman, but now the meeting is busy with affairs, and Hall Master Qian is already old and is no longer suitable for hard work..."
"Then tell me who will be the helmsman?" Chun Sanniang interjected.
The second-in-command glanced at her and said, "In my opinion, Brother Liu is the perfect candidate!"
The Brother Liu he was talking about was the dark-skinned man.
"What a joke! Why didn't you say you were going to sit on the helm?" Chun Sanniang said unceremoniously.
"What do you mean?!" The second child glared and said with a blush.
"Am I wrong? In my opinion, Brother Song is the best candidate!" Chun Sanniang said.
The two had a heated argument, with some supporting Song Longping and others supporting Liu Zhengqi. At first, the second child and Chun Sanniang were arguing, and then others intervened one after another.
In an instant, the hall turned into a vegetable market. Li Qi was extremely amused when he saw this scene.
"Why are you laughing, Master?" Tang Yun asked with some confusion.
"They will only argue and don't come up with anything practical. What's the use of talking so much?" Li Qi said.
"actual?"
"That's right, whoever has strong business ability can be the helmsman."
"Business capabilities?"
"They are people who have made great contributions to the meeting." Li Qi explained.
Tang Yun nodded as if he understood.
"Okay! No need for everyone to argue!"
Qian Guanping raised his hand and said something, and then gradually became quiet.
"In my opinion, none of us are suitable for the position of helmsman." Qian Guanping glanced at the crowd and said.
"Brother Qian, what do you mean by this?" Song Longping couldn't help but ask.
"Look at what you are like now. No matter who takes the helm, other people will be dissatisfied. If this continues, what is the difference between our East China branch and a piece of loose sand?"
As Qian Guanping spoke, he faced the mourning hall with a look of grief and anger: "Master Yang...Qian really has no face to face you!"
When everyone saw this, they all stopped talking. The two groups vying for the position of helmsman glared at each other and disliked each other.
After a while, Qian Guanping wiped away his tears and turned around: "In my opinion, whoever the helmsman Yang gives the order to can take the helmsman's position."
"The meeting order? Has Captain Yang sent the meeting order?" Song Longping asked.
Qian Guanping nodded: "Yes! Before Captain Yang died, he handed over the order to someone..."
As he said this, he looked towards Li Qi. When he looked at him, Li Qi's little heart skipped a beat.
What the hell is this old man talking about?
"Please also invite Mr. Li to come over." Qian Guanping said.
Li Qi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. He glanced at Tang Yun and saw her nodding slightly.
Standing up slowly, Li Qi didn't understand anything about the situation. When he came to the mourning hall, he was still a little confused.
"This is Mr. Li, the great hero who killed Yu Bozuo." Qian Guanping said, "It was he and Miss Tang who sent the helmsman off on his last journey that day, and the order was given to him by the helmsman himself."
Just when Li Qigang wanted to say that he didn't have any order at all, he saw that Qian Guanping had already taken out a dark sign with the word "order" written on it.
Only then did Li Qi remember that Yang Kaiji had indeed handed something to Tang Yun before he died.
How come this was given to me?
When everyone saw the token in Qian Guanping's hand, they were stunned for a moment.
At this time, someone said: "But Mr. Li is not a member of our group of heroes, how can he take the position of helmsman?"
"Yes, Mr. Li is not a member of the meeting, so how can he assume the position of helmsman?"
Qian Guanping raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "It is true that Mr. Li is not a member of the association, but as long as Mr. Li joins the association, he can naturally assume the position of helmsman."
Li Qi came back to his senses and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Damn it, I'm just here to join in the fun, why do you want me to be the helmsman?
I don't want to be the helmsman of this hodgepodge.
Just when he was about to express his stance, Qian Guanping grabbed him and turned him around: "Master Li, please burn incense to Captain Yang first."
After saying that, he handed him three sticks of incense. Both of them turned their backs to the crowd. Qian Guanping whispered: "Master, please don't refuse. If you don't agree to come down tonight, I'm afraid you will be killed."
Li Qi was startled and just about to turn around to look at him, the old guy Qian Guanping just pretended that nothing happened, turned around and stopped looking at Li Qi.
Is this threatening me?
Damn it, who wants to be the helmsman of this shit?
What does he mean by fatal disaster?
Could it be that because I am no longer the helmsman, they are going to kill me?
Isn't that the case?
A bunch of doubts filled Li Qi's mind, making him uneasy.
After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Qian Guanping turned around and said: "Master Li, would you like to join our group of heroes?"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hall.
Li Qi tried to see something from his face, but could see nothing.
What to do now?
His grandma's, should he join or not?
"Master Li?" Qian Guanping shouted.
Li Qi took a deep breath and nodded with tears in his eyes: "I am willing..."
"Okay! From today on, Li Qi will be the leader of the East China Branch of our Heroes Association!" Qian Guanping said.
Nani?!
So careless?
I just agreed on the front foot, and on the back foot you announced that I am the helmsman?
Don't you want to perform some ritual?
Li Qi glanced at everyone and saw that everyone seemed to have something to say, but they were holding back.
"Palace Master Song, Hall Master Liu." Qian Guanping said, "Do you two agree?"
The two looked at each other, and it was Liu Zhengqi who spoke first. His dark face could not tell whether he was happy or worried: "I have no objection."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Longping said after a while: "Since Hall Master Qian and Hall Master Liu have no objections, naturally I have no objections either."
"Okay!" Qian Guanping grinned, turned around and knelt on one knee in front of Li Qi: "See the helmsman!"
In an instant, hundreds of people in the hall knelt down on one knee, and a deafening voice suddenly sounded in the room: "See the helmsman!"
