Chapter 13 Hidden scheming
"First of all, this king would like to thank you for coming to this banquet!" On the platform, King Jing, dressed in pale gold and gorgeous clothes, said majestically: "This king is celebrating the achievements of General Gu today, and secondly, this banquet will also talk about matters related to the hunting competition selection battle, and please express your opinions!"
"King Jing, the ancient general guards the ancient city all the year round, and he has worked hard, I think he should be named a general to comfort his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as Xu Yuan, the head of the Xu family, said this, everyone's eyes immediately looked at him, and their eyes were full of doubts!
"General Gu, what do you think of this suggestion?" King Jing looked at Gu Ting and asked.
Gu Ting didn't think too much about it, and simply said: "It's all up to King Jing." ”
"You all have no opinions, right?" Jing Dynasty asked everyone, looking at everyone's different expressions, but they were silent, and the corners of their mouths raised a trace of arc, "Since no one has a different opinion, then King Ben has decided to crown Gu Ting as the regional marquis of the Great Jing Dynasty, the fiefdom of the ancient city!"
"King Jing, don't do it!" Everyone below was shocked when they heard King Jing's words. Lin Yan, the head of the Lin family, hurriedly spoke up to stop him!
"Why not?" said King Jing with some anger on his seat.
This change in King Jing's attitude has caught many people a little off guard, and King Jing, who was calm just now, has indeed made some families feel a little frightened! After all, they are not the number one family in Jingdu, and they can only be attached to some big families, and many people are watching their noses and noses at the moment, waiting for how the situation will change. If you offend King Jing, it is estimated that the big family you rely on will also abandon you! Interests are definitely an important condition for maintaining relations between the major families!
"It seems that the situation in Jingdu may have changed!" Gu Ting muttered in his heart. King Jing named himself the king of the region, I am afraid that he wants to win over the ancient family, if even the royal family is afraid of the opponent, I am afraid it will not be simple! And the Xu family is eyeing the side, I am afraid that this matter is related to the Xu family!
"King Jing, I'm not targeting General Gu, it's just that the ancient city is a military powerhouse, if the ancient city is divided into a fief to General Gu, then the safety of the Dajing Dynasty~" Lin Yan doesn't seem to be afraid of King Jing, even if the Lin family is a big family that ranks first in Jingdu, but it will definitely not be to the point of daring to collide with King Jing!
Seeing that King Jing was about to be angry, Gu Ting hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "King Jing, I, Gu Ting, am just a martial artist, and I don't dare to accept the heavy reward of the ancient city fief. ”
"General Gu's words are serious, you are the marquis of the sealed area today, if there are still people who have opinions, then it is okay, let him go to guard the ancient city. King Jing said lightly.
Seeing that King Jing was so resolute, no one dared to say anything more, and even Xu Yuan, the head of the Xu family, chose to remain silent. Lin Yan's eyes looked at Xu Yuan slightly, but Xu Yuan avoided it. It seems that these two companies may have colluded in private.
"I agree with King Jing's suggestion. General Gu has been sticking to the ancient city for many years, guarding the peace of the south of the Dajing Dynasty, and it is not too much to be a marquis. Qian Tu, who had been sitting quietly next to him, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Qianjia has always been neutral, and this time it seems to be a little biased towards Gu Ting. This banquet is probably not simple!
"Hehe, since Brother Qian agrees, I, Xu, naturally agree!" Xu Yuan said without changing his face. Qiantu's move surprised Xu Yuan a little. At this time, only he knew what Xu Yuan was thinking in his heart.
At the banquet, everyone was speculating about what was going on to make the Thousand Families give up their neutrality and implicitly choose their camp. In fact, although the Qian family has a huge power in Jingdu, it is not able to cover the sky with one hand, and it will also be attacked by other families. This is also why Qiantu is a little biased towards Gu Ting, which is obviously a gesture of goodwill to the Gu family. The current situation of thousands of families is also not optimistic!
"Okay, since the two of you support this king's decision, then General Gu should not shirk it! I declare, Gu Ting, as the regional marquis of the Dajing Dynasty, the fiefdom of the ancient city!"
"Yes, King Jing!"
Gu Ting couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept this reward! Gu Ting became a regional marquis, which means that the Gu family's strength in Jingdu has been further enhanced! The so-called regional marquis means that he has the absolute real power of one side, and he is the master of this place in his own fiefdom!
With Gu Ting's promotion, some people are happy and some are worried!
"Next, it's to discuss the matter of the hunting tournament selection battle!I don't know what suggestions you have?" King Jing smiled slightly and looked at everyone! His eyes stayed at Gu Feng behind Gu Ting for a while, and that look was meaningful~~
"King Jing, the last champion of the hunting tournament was Xu Tianzhan of the Xu family, and this time I suggest that the head of the Xu family preside over this selection battle. How?" Xu Xiao, the head of the Xu family on the side, proposed.
When Xu Xiao said this, who could not understand his thoughts! The Xu family is attached to the Xu family, if Xu Yuan is allowed to take charge of this selection battle, and then he will move a little behind his back, then the quota for his Xu family to enter the hunting competition is estimated to be indispensable!
"What do you think?" asked King Jing.
After watching for a while, some of the people present expressed their approval of Xu Yuan to preside over this selection battle!
"My Lin family has no opinion!"
"No comment!"
“…………”
All the middle-sized families that had more or less relationship with the Xu family said in agreement. It felt as if Xu Yuan could master this selection battle, and they themselves would be able to let the younger generation of their family enter more hunting competitions!
Gu Ting and the others didn't have much of an opinion on this, and the Qian family and the Zhuo family were even more silent about it!
"Since the Xu family master is expected to return, then the Xu family will preside over the overall situation in the hunting competition selection battle this time!" King Jing's tone seemed to reveal a trace of anger!"The Xu family is the master, the Gu family, the Zhuo family, the Qianjia family, and the Lin family, each occupy a seat and form the presidium!"
"The selection battle will start in a month! I hope you can urge the younger generation of the clan to prepare for the battle!"
"Yes, King Jing!"
…………
The banquet did not end until late at night, and the discussion was nothing more than some details of the selection battle. It's something that doesn't matter! What matters is the genius boys of the various families who participated in this selection battle, and this is the information that everyone is concerned about.
First of all, it is recognized that the strongest is Xu Tianzhan of the Xu family, the champion of last year's hunting competition. The strength is estimated to have reached the Soul Breaking Realm. Secondly, Lin Qian, who should belong to the Lin family, who has never made a move, has no weaker reputation than Xu Tianzhan! Moreover, there are Qianxun and Qianling'er of the Qianjia family, and as for the head of the Zhuo family, who has never come forward, no one knows whether the Zhuo family will participate in it! This banquet, the Zhuo family only symbolically sent one person to participate! However, the more mysterious it is, the more people look forward to it, how strong is the strength of the most mysterious family, the genius generation in the clan? This is a secret that many people want to know!
Late at night, outside the royal city, the silence is abnormal, and under the moonlight, it looks a little weird~~
"Great Elder, this banquet seems to be a little unusual?" Gu Ting and his party were on their way back to the Gu family at this moment, and Gu Ting couldn't help but ask the Great Elder.
"I can also see a hint of it, it seems that this hunting competition is not easy!" said the Great Elder with a solemn expression. "It seems that Jingdu is going to be unquiet again!"
"Father, Great Elder, Feng'er thinks that this is probably inseparable from the Xu family!" Gu Feng said with a little firmness in his eyes.
"Feng'er, don't get involved in this matter, you will follow the elders to the Dinan Academy in a few days! The evil qi in your body, it is estimated that he is the only one in the entire Dajing Dynasty who will have a way!" Gu Ting said slightly.
"Feng'er, at this banquet, the Xu family and other families didn't even investigate your return to the ancient city too much, I'm afraid it's not simple. You've been staying in the Gu family for a while, so don't go!" said the Great Elder with a worried expression.
"But~"
"Feng'er, listen to the elder!" Gu Ting didn't wait for Gu Feng to finish speaking, and directly interrupted. The tone is non-negotiable!
"Yes!"
"I know you're unwilling, what happened back then, my Gu family will definitely get justice!" The Great Elder's tone also contained a hint of anger.
"Uh~"
"Head of the house, optimistic about Feng'er~"
I saw that the Great Elder's expression was solemn, and a majestic aura swept out, exuding an oppressive aura, and his figure burst out, heading towards the night~
"Father~" Gu Feng also felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. His eyes looked at the surroundings like a cheetah, and his expression became extremely terrifying.
"Who's coming?"
Gu Ting shouted into the night, his eyes equally vigilantly observing the surroundings~
"Feng'er, be careful, there's more than one person coming!"
"Yes, Father!"
…………
"Huh~"
In the dark night, a figure suddenly attacked, and the target was directly aimed at Gu Feng!
"Bang~"
Gu Ting stood in front of Gu Feng and blocked the fatal blow. After a few rounds of fighting with that person, the two sides seemed to be in a stalemate! For a while, they were also entangled together, Gu Ting was a high-level Soul Breaking Realm, and the opponent was at least a strong Soul Breaking Realm, otherwise he would not be able to entangle Gu Ting!
"Feng'er, take care of yourself!" Before Gu Ting's words fell, his figure immediately came out towards the man in the night!
After Gu Ting left, there was no one to protect Gu Feng except for a few entourages. Who would be willing to spend such a large amount of money to kill themselves, this sudden sneak attack, it seems that there is a conspiracy, first to lure away the people around Gu Feng, and then the next thing is to shoot at Gu Feng!
Gu Feng's eyes looked at a big tree not far away, and the corners of his mouth arced.
"Come out, everything that should be left is gone, don't hide!"
