Chapter 704: Celebration
The number of people attending the celebration banquet was far more than the number of members who participated in the pre-war mobilization, and at the invitation of the Duke of Suy, many nobles who did not participate in the crusade against the Vihri family were also included in the banquet.
It's just that compared with the enthusiasm of the pre-war mobilization, the current nobles lack interest, but fortunately, Duke Su Yi had the foresight and specially invited the most famous music stars in Luo to warm up, so as not to let the atmosphere in the banquet continue to be sluggish.
Before the banquet began, Duke Su Yi asked everyone to eat, have fun and drink with a smile on his face, and when the song ended, Duke Su Yi had long been unable to see people.
"Lord Duke, can't wait for the banquet to end, and go count your spoils first?" A child of an old aristocratic family tasted a rare and priceless wine on the market, and his heart was even more unbalanced, and his speech was sour.
But with such a sour taste, the people around him could only ignore all of them and not accept his words, so as not to be taken to the pit by this mouthy bastard.
Duke Su Yi can say a word before the opening, that is to save face, if it is changed to the other nobles, directly send a butler to preside over the banquet, there is no need for Duke Su Yi to come forward.
Moreover, it was not only Duke Su Yi who left the banquet behind, but also the noble patriarchs who participated in the battle did not appear at the banquet.
This proves that the victory of this battle was secretly distributed, and there is no room for the outside world to question it, otherwise why hold a celebration banquet to let these insignificant people have fun, while secretly holding a meeting with the leader of the clan.
And the one who just opened his mouth to say cool things was obviously a nobleman who was not capable of participating in the private meeting.
Even if this family has existed in Luo Country for hundreds of years, if you can't see the current changes in the situation in Luo Kingdom, you can imagine that it won't be long before this old nobleman will really 'get old'.
For the people who are very clear about the current situation, not only did they not conform to or respond to the words of the young people just now, but they moved away from the young people, and clearly expressed to the outside world that they and the speaker had a clear boundary and had nothing to do with each other.
"A bunch of shrunken turtles!" The young man is not blind, and naturally sees that the noble children who usually associate with him now avoid him like a snake and scorpion, and understand that this group of people is acquiescing to the leading position of Duke Su Yi in the aristocratic circle, and expressing their support with their own actions.
The young man gritted his teeth with hatred, and was about to shout a few words that would make him feel happy, when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he was terrified.
He turned sharply and saw the patriarch glaring at him with a grim face.
"Clan...... Patriarch. "When a young man sees a patriarch, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, not in fear, but in awe.
"You still know that I am the patriarch," the patriarch sighed lightly, leaned close to the young man, and whispered: "Child, you are not convinced, young people's impulsiveness is easy to understand, but you can't use ignorance as your weapon, let alone use it to hurt yourself. ”
"Patriarch, what are you talking about?" When the young man saw that the patriarch did not teach him a serious lesson, his heart immediately let go, but he really couldn't understand the patriarch's words.
"Attending a banquet and leaving halfway is always disrespectful to the host, so you follow me and don't allow you to talk nonsense." The patriarch knew that it was not easy for all the young people in the clan to accept that Duke Suyi, who had been sick in the past, and now became the leader of all the nobles, so he didn't think about letting everyone understand this fact for a while.
Therefore, the patriarch directly took measures to seal the junior's dumb hole with spiritual power, and then, with the junior, who was confused and aggrieved, hid in the corner of the banquet hall.
The shouting of the young man was just an episode, and this episode reached the ears of Duke Su Yi, who didn't even raise his eyebrows, and the butler who reported the situation naturally understood that Duke Su Yi didn't want to do anything to a young junior who had no influence.
The butler secretly sighed at the good fortune of the young juniors, and said with a gentle smile to the noble patriarchs who were sitting like pins and needles: "The council hall where you are now is the council hall where the steward of my Suyi family reports on affairs, the sound insulation effect is very good, and the building is also very solid. Due to the previous near-bomb explosion, this time it was specially investigated, and it was safe within 10 kilometers, and there was no need to worry about someone breaking in from the outside. As for the council chamber, the Duke arranged dozens of dark shadow guards to protect everyone's safety throughout the process. ”
The steward's words made the already very quiet council hall silent, and the needles could be heard, all the patriarchs, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.
They probably didn't expect that Duke Su Yi would act so domineeringly, where is this protection, it is simply a threat.
No matter how many men they ambushed outside, no matter what they did in front of Duke Suy, the final consequence would be nothing more than becoming someone else's meal.
In this way, many patriarchs who secretly made small moves were really quiet, waiting for Duke Su Yi to distribute the spoils this time.
During this period, naturally a lot of eyes were on Gu Yang, who had been sitting opposite Duke Su Yi with his arms crossed.
As we all know, Duke Suyi's attitude towards Gu Yang has created momentum for Gu Yang before, so that it is obviously this Gu Yang who can get the best treatment tonight.
For a while, everyone's gaze towards Gu Yang became complicated, there was envy and jealousy, but more importantly, they looked at and thought.
Gu Yang was generous and let everyone look at him, but occasionally when the eyes of individual people fell on him, he would always look back sharply.
These eyes are all ill-intentioned speculation, Gu Yang believes that if Duke Su Yi really gives him most of the spoils of war this time, and the trend of heavy profits, some people will definitely not let him return to China with these treasures.
Gu Yang smiled coldly, and the corners of his lips curled with a sneer.
These pretentious nobles have obviously lost their original intention of cultivating martial arts, and if they want to win the world with only three or two spiritual weapons and rely on external forces, then he will give them this opportunity.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
Duke Su Yi seemed to be unaware of the dark tide surging in the council chamber, and when everyone resumed communication after a short silence, he coughed and said lightly: "Since everyone is ready, then next, we should get to the point, about the distribution of the spoils......
"The Duke has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and I know that this assignment will be decided by the Duke, and it will definitely make everyone happy and convinced!" Before Duke Su Yi could finish speaking, a slightly old but deep and powerful voice suddenly interjected.
Duke Su Yi frowned, and looked at the person who spoke dissatisfied.
This is a family that has existed in the country of Romania for thousands of years, the Welman family.
This family has existed for thousands of years, advocating no quarrel with the world, the most important martial arts, and there are also several people from this family in the forbidden power, and the Werman family did not participate in the crusade against the Vihri family.
And the reason why I came here was because of the invitation of some noble patriarchs.
For the purpose of this invitation, Duke Su Yi intends to turn a blind eye, and don't you just invite a heavyweight to supervise it, he is not ready to use his hegemony to do anything in the council chamber, and he will come.
But right now, this heavyweight who should have been here as a background board is now planning to kill him, so don't blame him for being polite.
"Elder Velman, I remember that during the crusade against Vihri, without your participation, dare to ask in what capacity you appeared here?"
With Duke Sui's questioning, the atmosphere in the council chamber once again returned to its eerie and silent state.
Duke Suy's mocking tone was not contrived at all, which showed Duke Suy's attitude, Duke Suy did not have the slightest attitude of giving in to Elder Velman, even if he was not willing to settle things!
At this time, the noble patriarchs who invited Elder Werman to come suddenly thought of the thunderous methods and domineering style of Duke Su Yi when he first took charge of the Su Yi family more than twenty years ago, and they couldn't help but shudder in unison.
The Duke of Su Yi in front of him is no longer the sick cat who can be pinched to death at any time!
If you want to climb up the Su family, you must also have that capital!
Elder Velman was blushing at Duke Suy's words, of course, not entirely due to Duke Suy's 'arrogant' attitude, but the embarrassment that no one responded for Duke Su when he asked this.
Elder Werman did not come of his own free will, but was only invited to support him, but now the person who needed support did not answer Duke Suy's question, should he show this old face and answer Duke Sue himself, he was invited to be a witness?
But if those soft bones who invited him were forced to refute by Su Yi's obscenity, then it would not only be him, the elder, who would be faceless, but the entire Verman family would be disgraced.
That's it, since they are unjust, then there is no wonder that he is unkind, this trip to the troubled waters, there is no need for the Werman family to come at all, and they have not participated in the battle before, so there is really no reason to stay here.
Dead or alive, waiting for them to fight!
Elder Werman was only in a trance for a while, and only agreed to stand up for those 'weak', but now he didn't have time to be a hero, and he was abandoned by the 'weak', in addition to embarrassment, Elder Velman was also a little sad.
If it weren't for his own family's indisputability, it would be his Wellman family who can dominate the country of Luo now.
Suppressing this unconvincing thought, Werman turned around and left directly, with his back to Duke Suyi, facing the 'weakling' who were still looking forward to him, and snorted coldly, "Duke Sui, it's me who is abrupt, I apologize to you, since it is your crusade against the alliance itself, it is naturally difficult for me as an outsider to participate, it is better to go back and listen to a song and dance." ”
After saying that, without waiting for the 'weakling' to rise up and refute, Elder Werman walked through the wall.
"Hiss~"
For a moment, countless inhalations rang out in the chamber.
Even Gu Yang couldn't help but stare at him.
The Velman Elder who had just left had actually reached the Divine Realm!
