Chapter 174: Voting Results
Yun Xuan shrugged, sighed silently, followed behind the royal ceremonial staff, and walked out of the central hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Yun Xuan's back gradually moving away, Ji Changyue's face finally couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, he observed the rest of the jury, the old man and the older lady shook their heads from time to time in a whispered conversation, looking regretful; Princess Roujia lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking; Li Wan'er's chest was rising and falling rapidly, obviously her emotions were excited, and even her eye circles were slightly red, Ji Changyue couldn't help but think: The fourth princess and that Xia Qi should only be the first acquaintance, and her reaction was too intense... …
The Venerable National Teacher closed his eyes again, his head hung on his chest, and King Yan crossed his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen very casually, as if he could maintain this posture for tens of millions of years.
Ji Changyue was quite dissatisfied with King Yan speaking for that Xia Qi more than once, and now that this young monk had such a clumsy performance, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you think of this Xia Qi Daoist?"
King Yan replied lightly: "He is even more modest than I imagined!"
Ji Changyue said suspiciously: "Oh? Then what do you mean ......?"
King Yan smiled rarely, and said: "He said that he can defeat Ji Chong within two hundred moves, that is really too high-minded, according to my observation, one hundred moves is more than enough." ”
Ji Changyue's face was difficult to look at again, how could an uncle belittle his nephew so much, even if this is indeed the truth, but it shouldn't be said in this public place today.
King Yan seemed to see what Ji Changyue was thinking, and he said in a deep voice: "Chang Yue, when you warmly invited this king to join the selection panel for the selection of her son-in-law by Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, this king once said that during the selection process, you will let go of all your personal feelings and put the lifelong happiness of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess in the first place as the only selection criterion for this king. ”
Ji Changyue coughed lightly, didn't King Yan say this clearly that he was favoring Ji Chong? He forced a smile and said, "Lord Wang, please allow me to thank you again for your participation! With your wisdom and fairness to guide us, I believe that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess will definitely find her best home." ”
King Yan smiled slightly, and did not reply politely.
The Venerable National Teacher suddenly asked, "King Yan, if you compete with Xia Qi Daoyou alone, what do you think Xia Qi Daoyou has a chance of winning?"
There were eight people in the audience, and there was an uproar, and even Li Wan'er, who was full of anger, turned her head and stared at King Yan tightly, expecting his answer.
If it wasn't the National Teacher Venerable of the Imperial Capital Apocalypse, then there must be bursts of ridicule at this moment, a strong man who has guarded the East China Sea Heavenly Dao Alliance for hundreds of years in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and has become famous for more than eight hundred years, and his reputation can even shake the Yan King of the Eastern Emperor Demon Realm, even compared with a twelve-year-old boy, although that young man is also a top master, and he was able to successfully complete the last Imperial Capital Trial, but this is simply a contest between two different levels!
How do you know that King Yan frowned, and then replied very seriously: "Venerable National Teacher, if it is just a simple competition, Xia Qi Daoyou will not have a chance at all!"
The National Master Venerable's gray eyelashes fluttered, and he asked again, "What if it's a fight of life and death?"
King Yan slowly turned his head, changed his sitting posture for the first time, he stared at the Venerable National Master beside him, and said solemnly: "If it is a life-and-death fight, he has at least a twenty percent chance, Xia Qi Daoyou has quite terrifying potential!"
The audience was in an uproar again, two percent chances? In front of King Yan, who had guarded the invasion of the demon realm for more than eight hundred years, any monk with two percent chances was enough to be proud of the entire Kyushu Continent and become a hegemon.
The world-famous Yan King, the leader of the East China Sea Heavenly Dao Alliance, who has never been defeated, actually admits that Xia Qi already has the possibility of challenging himself, if his words are spread, the entire Kyushu world will be shaken, and even the prestige of the name "Xia Qi" will surpass that of "Yun Xuan"!
The Venerable National Master also seemed to feel King Yan's deep gaze, he slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, met King Yan's gaze with his blurred eyes that seemed to have no focus, and continued to ask: "If in the process of life and death, Xia Qi Daoyou insists on fleeing, Lord Wang, how sure are you that you will leave him?"
An imperceptible sharp light flashed in King Yan's eyes, he smiled mysteriously, and said in a deep voice: "This depends on the situation, but if the National Master Venerable wants me to answer, I should be seventy percent sure." ”
Ji Changyue secretly thought that he couldn't let these two respected powerhouses discuss it anymore, Xia Qi's originally destroyed image was raised again in this conversation. He coughed lightly and said respectfully, "Two honorable elders, and one of the selected monks has not yet asked questions. ”
"Time is precious, so please invite the next monk who will be selected to come in!" Venerable National Master said with his eyes closed again, understanding.
"Please invite the next Ji Chong prince!" With the consent of the Venerable National Teacher, Ji Changyue immediately commanded aloud outside the door.
Back in the front hall, Yun Xuan came to the table again, looking at the table full of exquisite food, he decided to turn his depression into appetite.
The eyes of the selected monks around were a little strange, this was a kind of gaze mixed with envy, competition, and jealousy, those people in front of them, each of them would not exceed a quarter of an hour before and after they entered, but this Xia Qi monk stayed in it for at least an hour, has this guy become the final winner?
For a moment, the entire front hall suddenly became much quieter, as if only the sound of Yun Xuan chewing something remained.
It didn't take long for Ji Chong to come out of the middle hall, his expression was as usual, and his eyes didn't blink, and it was difficult to tell how he felt about himself.
As a result, the antechamber is quieter, and all that remains is to wait for the announcement of the voting results.
Everyone's eyes are full of anticipation, who will be the final winner, or will there be a tie in the game......
In the atrium, voting has begun.
Ji Changyue, as the great uncle of the royal family and nobles, took the lead in speaking: "We have all seen the forty selection monks in the third round, they are the elites who stand out from more than a thousand people, each of them is so good, each of them has the potential to become the future master of the world in Kyushu, but who to choose, who is the most suitable to become the lifelong partner of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, I believe that you have already made up your mind for a long time, let's start voting!"
He coughed, and then said: "As the great uncle of the royal family, this first vote, let me vote! I choose Ji Chong Shizi, he is calm, calm, wise, and far-sighted, he is already the heir of Su Wangfu, with a shrewd investment vision, excellent business acumen, and at the same time is a proud disciple of King Yan, with a strong cultivation strength, based on the above reasons, I choose Ji Chong Shizi." ”
This is the expected answer, so Li Wan'er only frowned slightly, but Ji Changyue's big reasons for choosing it, to put it bluntly, it was just promoting Ji Chong.
The middle-aged man who sat on the edge and didn't speak much spokenly said: " If I choose a general who commands the battlefield of the army, then I will definitely choose Yue Chengying Daoyou of the First Sword Sect; if I choose a conspirator who lurks inside the enemy, then I will definitely choose Xu Tianzheng Daoyou of Zhengtianmen; if I choose a friend who can fight side by side, then I will definitely choose a trustworthy Xia Qi Daoyou; but now I choose the husband of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, so I choose Ji Chong Shizi of Suwangfu, as Ji Changyue said, he is the most suitable in all aspects! ”
The noble lady sitting beside him sighed softly and said, "I don't think as much as General Meng thought. What I want to say is that among so many contestants, what impressed me the most was Xia Qi Daoyou and Ji Chong Shizi, especially Xia Qi Daoyou, his every movement was so elegant, and every smile was so heartwarming...... But unfortunately, Xia Qi Daoyou seems to be an amorous man, from the previous time when he answered the last two questions, you can get a glimpse of one or two! If you choose a lover, Xia Qi Daoyou is my first choice, but if you choose a husband, I support Ji Chong's son. I vote for Ji Chong Shizi!"
Li Wan'er's heart couldn't help but chuckle, Ji Chong had already accounted for three votes, and the situation was not good!
The old man who liked to speak the most was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Xia Qi Daoyou is indeed a very good monk, I believe that standing with him, he can often bring you honor and joy, but his temperament is too uninhibited and lazy, I don't know if you have such a feeling, when Xia Qi Daoyou sits with us, his heart seems to be in another place, his prodigal breath is too heavy, I am afraid that such an aura will bring an unimaginable heavy burden to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess in the future......"
Li Wan'er was even more nervous in her heart, this old man had a clear impression of Yun Xuan before, how could he become like this when he was talking?
Ji Changyue smiled kindly and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
The old man sighed and said, "I admire Xia Qi Daoyou, but for the sake of the lifelong happiness of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, my vote is still for Ji Chong's son." Or as the White Ice Fairy said, if you choose a husband, it is more suitable for Ji Chong Shizi. ”
Li Wan'er's heart immediately sank, and she had four votes! If anyone voted for Ji Chong, then Ji Chong would win the final victory and become her future husband!
She couldn't help but look at the remaining three who had not voted, the Venerable National Teacher was still closing his eyes, and King Yan had a serious face, unable to see what he was thinking, and Rou Jia beside him lowered his head, as if he was struggling with contradictions.
After listening to the old man's analysis, Ji Changyue's smile became even happier, he turned to the National Teacher Venerable, and asked respectfully, "National Teacher Venerable, what is your opinion?"
The National Master's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he didn't open his eyes, and he said in his old Mai Long Zhong voice: "Although I have already guessed what the fourth princess is thinking, I still can't help but listen to it with my own ears, I will wait for Her Royal Highness the fourth princess to vote before making a decision!"
Li Wan'er's grandfather, the Flying Dragon General Li Guangke, is the beloved disciple of the Venerable National Teacher, and he naturally loves Li Wan'er, which is well known in the upper circles of the Imperial Capital Apocalypse.
Ji Changyue's smile couldn't help but shrink for a moment, he looked at Li Wan'er, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth princess, this choice will be related to your lifelong happiness, I hope you can put aside your sensibilities and use your reason to find a correct future for yourself." ”
Li Wan'er nodded and said softly: "Uncle Huang, Wan'er will definitely make a choice with her own heart." In fact, many of the selectors have a temperament that can impress me, the pride of Ji Chong's son, the courage of Yue Chengying, and the calmness of Xu Tianzheng...... However, the most impressive thing is Xia Qi Daoyou, maybe he behaves a little uninhibited, and people are a little bit wild and rebellious, but I still choose him, I firmly believe that with him, I will be able to achieve happiness!
Ji Changyue immediately snorted lowly, and Rou Jia's shoulders beside Li Wan'er also trembled slightly.
The Venerable National Master slowly opened his eyes, his wrinkled face was calm, and he said in his dragon bell-like voice: " Judging from my personal standpoint, what I admire most is Xia Qi Daoyou; from the perspective of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, her thoughts are exactly the same as mine; and from the perspective of the Imperial City Prime Minister's Mansion, the addition of a top master, a peerless powerhouse who may even become a new generation of peerless powerhouses on the Kyushu Continent in the future, there is such a person sitting in the Heavenly Apocalypse Imperial City, and the impact caused by it will be of great benefit to the imperial capital, and even to the entire Zhongzhou!
Ji Changyue showed a thoughtful look for the first time, and everyone in the hall also discussed with each other in a low voice, especially after the terrible "death list" was announced not long ago, at this moment, under the analysis of the future interests of the entire Imperial Capital Apocalypse, it is not difficult to see that if everyone is allowed to choose again, the result will be very different.
King Yan's voice pulled everyone out of their thoughts, and he said: "Some of the views of the Venerable National Teacher have come to mind with me, I am already an old man who is nearly a thousand years old, and one day I will follow in the footsteps of the previous emperor, return to reincarnation, and return to the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao Alliance needs a new guardian to take my place, so I choose Xia Qi Daoyou!"
His voice was low and sonorous, and it suddenly put a heavy pressure on everyone in the hall.
Ji Changyue hurriedly spoke out to convince you: "Lord Wang, you still look so young, and the years have not left any traces on you, please don't worry too much." ”
Everyone also said similar comforting words one by one, and King Yan raised his hand slightly, interrupted them, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern, let's go back to the topic, it's Princess Roujia's turn to vote!"
Li Wan'er couldn't help but be nervous for a while, now it is four votes to four, if the vote cast by Rou Jia is for Ji Chong, then Ji Chong will be the final winner of today's selection competition and become her future husband, but looking at the question she asked Yun Xuan like before, this possibility is still quite large.
Princess Roujia slowly raised her head, sensing that everyone was watching her, she finally met Li Wan'er's gaze, such a pleading and expectant gaze, Princess Roujia's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, a proud girl like Li Wan'er, actually appeared with such a begging look, childhood to the present, and Li Wan'er's interactions, I couldn't help but fly in front of my eyes......
For many nobles in the Apocalypse Imperial City, it is undoubtedly a miracle that the two of them have become good friends, because they are both so arrogant and withdrawn, especially themselves, they are often indifferent to the point of being unkind, and the decline of the family makes her have to go on the stage, burn her youth, become a superstar in the famous mainland, and use her own income to pay off the family's astronomical debts......
But Li Wan'er has always been enthusiastic about herself, and opened her heart with warmth, and this care has never stopped for more than ten years......
Princess Roujia's eyes flickered, and finally she heard herself say softly: "Xia Qi Daoyou is indeed the best choice, I vote for him!"
Although the voice was very low, but it was very firm, Li Wan'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this short wait seemed to be as long as tens of millions of years, fortunately, the result was satisfactory, her face slowly bloomed with a smile of infinite surprise, she said: "Roujia, you are indeed my best friend!"
Princess Roujia smiled back with a complicated expression: "May our friendship last forever!"
Li Wan'er smiled extremely brightly, and she had already begun to think in her heart: Dead Yunxuan, answer questions randomly, and see how I clean you up in the future......
Ji Changyue's expression was ugly for a moment, and after a while, his deep face slowly changed back to joy, and he smiled and said: "Then the results of today's selection competition have come out, Xia Qi Daoyou will become the future husband of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, and become the future head of the Tang Palace!"
All the judges congratulated the four princesses and Ji Changyue one by one, and the National Master Venerable and King Yan glanced at each other with a smile, realizing that they really couldn't see through each other's true thoughts, and slowly turned their faces away.
Ji Changyue beckoned the family etiquette staff outside the door, ordered him to go out and tell the final results of the selections, and said to everyone: "Okay, respected fellow Daoists, we should go to the Imperial Garden in the Central District to get ready!"
Ji Changyue and Li Wan'er had already reached a consensus before the assessment, that is, the marriage ceremony would be held as soon as the selection competition was over, which was also approved by Her Majesty the Empress, because Ji Changyue was worried about the long nights and dreams, and Li Wan'er was worried that Yunxuan would not have enough time.
Seeing the presiding officer of the conference walking out under the support of the three royal ceremonial personnel, all the selectors immediately turned their heads and looked at the presiding officer expectantly, everyone knew that the results of the voting should have come out.
The host looked at the only selection monk who didn't stare at him, that is, the final winner Xia Qi, and said in his usual sensational voice: "All outstanding Daoists, the final results have come out, congratulations to Xia Qi Daoyou for getting the most votes and becoming the future husband of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess!" At this time, he no longer went around in circles, and directly said the results.
Disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes, but Yun Xuan, who should have been ecstatic, was chewing on the snack with a calm face, in fact, if Yun Xuan was not happy at all, it was false, he was thinking, at least Wan'er's terrible ravage against him should be alleviated a lot.
The host squeezed out a smile to face this overly calm anomaly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and said respectfully: "Congratulations, Daoist Xia Qi! After all, he is the future head of the family, and the host's attitude is quite humble.
Yun Xuan had no choice but to rub his greasy hand on the tablecloth, and then shook his hand tightly in the host's slightly helpless expression.
The selectors led by Ji Chong also had to pretend to be graceful, and stepped forward to congratulate Yun Xuan one by one, and then secretly cursed with jealousy in their hearts: It's so hateful, and you still drag it like this if you win......
Because Yun Xuan really hated and said: "If you have such an opportunity in the future, you will have a good discussion with everyone." ”
