Chapter 1682: The Election of the Lord (3)
But when I heard Shi Zhao's words, I felt that the situation was no longer good, although Liu Yihang had not received more than 100 votes, if there were many abstentions, Xu Maoshan was likely to lose the election by a slight disadvantage.
The suspense is very high, and the victory or defeat is only between the first line.
After the white-eyed old Taoist read Liu Yihang's votes, the scene was already in a commotion, and countless disciples discussed it privately, some thought that Liu Yihang was going to lose, and some thought that Liu Yihang was more likely to win.
After a slight pause, the white-eyed old man looked at the riot at the scene and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet!" ”
Hearing Bai Mei Lao Dao's words, the scene quickly quieted down, and the eyes of thousands of people focused on Bai Mei Lao Dao at the same time.
Especially the candidates Xu Maoshan and Liu Yihang are extremely nervous.
The next moment will decide their fate, whether it is a dragon or a snake is about to be decided.
The white-eyed old Taoist read: "Xu Maoshan's vote is ......" Speaking of this, it seems to Xu Maoshan.
Although Xu Maoshan is also the master of a view and is used to seeing characters in the world, at this moment, he still can't help but raise his throat with a heart.
In fact, it's not just Xu Maoshan, which one of the scenes is not?
"Nine hundred and eighteen votes!"
Bai Mei Lao continued.
This time, the scene once again couldn't help but set off an uproar.
When I heard the beginning of the nine characters, I still had hope, thinking that Xu Maoshan might win, but after hearing that there were only nine hundred and eighteen votes, I couldn't help but feel shocked, Xu Maoshan actually lost? Even Song Zixiong expressed his support for him, but he lost?
"How is that possible? How could Uncle Xu lose? ”
"Haha, my master won!"
"I have already guessed this result, Uncle Xu should stay in Qingheguan as the master of the temple with peace of mind, and don't interfere in the affairs of Taipingguan."
"It's just a few votes away, and it's enough to lose aggrieved."
The sounds of the scene came and went, endlessly.
Liu Yihang finally showed a victorious smile on his face, even if Song Zixiong supported Xu Maoshan, he still won, and the sense of accomplishment after the victory was even stronger.
Xu Maoshan was stunned, he had great expectations, but he didn't expect that in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty.
However, Xu Maoshan didn't have much demeanor, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, how could I lose?" No, I have to check the ticket myself, otherwise I won't recognize the result this time! ”
Hearing Xu Maoshan's words, Liu Yihang couldn't help but sneer on the spot: "Second senior brother, don't you admit it if you lose?" You're the master of the view, so you have to be a little graceful. ”
Xu Maoshan shouted: "I have doubts about the counting of votes, don't I have the right to confirm it personally?" ”
When the white-eyed old man heard Xu Maoshan's words, his face became ugly.
Xu Maoshan doubted the statistical results, that is, doubted their impartiality, so he was naturally unhappy.
He snorted coldly and said, "Maoshan, do you suspect that we are favoring a voyage?" Okay, you have to confirm that you can, if after confirmation, it is still this result, you must apologize to us in public! ”
Xu Maoshan was also impulsive at that time, in fact, the statistics presided over by so many elders generally do not make mistakes, and no one dares to play tricks, and he can't help but feel a little regretful, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to grit his teeth and stick to the end, and say on the spot: "Okay, it's decided!" ”
I saw that Xu Maoshan actually made such a protest at this time, and I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, this Xu Maoshan was too calm, compared to the Taiping Guanguan, it was more than one or two points worse.
Due to Xu Maoshan's protest, Taipingguan recounted the votes of both sides, but this time the vote count was carried out by Xu Maoshan and his disciples in person, and the elders and Liu Yihang supervised them.
In the end, the results came out, and they were exactly the same as the previous statistics.
The white-eyed old man looked at Xu Maoshan on the spot, and sneered: "Maoshan, a manly man, speaking can be counted." ”
Xu Maoshan gritted his teeth, walked out of the hall on the spot, and apologized in public to all the disciples of the Taiping Temple for his previous recklessness.
Although Xu Maoshan apologized, his reputation suffered an unprecedented blow, many people who originally had a good impression of him were also disappointed at this moment, and some people regretted voting for Xu Maoshan just now.
This farce ended with Xu Maoshan's public apology.
In the end, Bai Mei Lao Dao announced loudly again: "Today's voting results have come out, and Liu Yihang will be the new ruler next, and the official ceremony will be held in three days!" ”
……
After going out of the Taiping Temple with Xu Maoshan, sitting in the car back, Xu Maoshan was unwilling all the way, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and found it difficult to accept this result.
Although he confirmed that the voting results were fine, he was still not convinced, the difference in the number of votes today was only a few votes, if it weren't for Liu Yihang's trickery to cancel the voting qualification of Qingheguan, it must be him Xu Maoshan who was elected today, and his advantage is not ordinary.
It's just a little bit, just a little bit that he can become a master, and it's hard to bear this breath.
Song Zixiong couldn't accept this result.
He gave up the election to support Xu Maoshan, originally thinking that there would be at least one position as the master of Qinghe Guanguan, but now that Xu Maoshan has failed, he will definitely not be able to be the master of Qinghe Guanguan.
I was in the same car with Xu Maoshan, and when I saw Xu Maoshan's appearance, I knew that he couldn't accept it, so I immediately said: "Master Xu Guan, I have failed today, it's useless for you to think about it, it's better to think about what to do in the future, right?" ”
Xu Maoshan said hatefully: "Liu Yihang is too insidious, if he hadn't found a way to cancel Qingheguan's voting qualifications, I must have won today." ”
I said, "We're just one move away." ”
Xu Maoshan thought about it, then suddenly looked at me again and said, "Brother Kun, is there a way to remedy it now?" ”
I thought about it, sighed, and said, "It's hard. ”
Xu Maoshan couldn't help but feel desperate and disappointed in me.
He originally thought that if I was so famous and helped him, I would definitely succeed, but in the end, I still failed.
……
In the Four Princes' Mansion, Murong Siqi and the others were all overjoyed when they heard the results, and Murong Majestic, there was a sense of accomplishment that frustrated me.
All along, although he is the son of the world, his background is far higher than me, and he also has a blood relationship with the eldest prince, more intimate, but under the hands of the eldest prince, he is not taken seriously, and he is holding his stomach angry, today they have calculated that Xu Maoshan is cooperating with me, and defeating Xu Maoshan is equivalent to defeating me, but it is a sense of accomplishment, although this victory is only a small victory, but it is not easy to come by.
He immediately said: "Hehe, I really want to see Mo Xiaokun's face after knowing Xu Maoshan's defeat, his face should be green." ”
Zhu Shangrong said: "Facts have proved that Mo Xiaokun is not so invincible, and the four princes are the most skilled. ”
When Murong Siqi heard Zhu Shangrong's words, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Although he competes with the eldest prince, it is me, Mo Xiaokun, who he really regards as an opponent!
Murong Siqi said with a smile: "This is just a small victory, everyone must not be proud, make persistent efforts, and strive to win more votes at the clan conference and win the final victory." ”
Murong Xiongwei said: "The influence of the Taiping Temple in Zhongjing is very large, and it should not be difficult to win more votes. ”
……
In the palace of the three princes, the three princes also received the news that the candidate for the head of the Taiping Temple had come out, and Liu Yihang was appointed by him.
Ji Shaojun also suggested to Murong Qi to win over Liu Yihang, and Murong Qi agreed on the spot to let Ji Shaojun try.
The Taiping Concept is far less important to the Third Prince Murong Qi than the Fourth Prince to the Taiping Temple.
After all, Murong Qi has the Zhongjing Praetorian Guard, and he does not particularly rely on the Taiping Temple.
……
After Xu Maoshan and I parted ways, I received a call from the eldest prince, who already knew the result, and called me to go to the eldest prince's mansion to discuss the next countermeasures.
The Taiping Guanguan fell into the hands of the Four Princes, which also had a great impact on me and the Great Prince, who had great expectations for me, but was extremely disappointed.
I received a call from the eldest prince, I couldn't help but feel a headache, the eldest prince called me over, I must have asked about the Taiping Temple, I feel a little faceless, this time I actually lost?
Shi Zhao said: "Brother Kun, the eldest prince will definitely ask about the Taiping Temple later, you have to think about what to say." ”
