Chapter 154: Deliberation and Opposition
After Yu Panxi put forward the conditions, the elders of the Zhu clan felt that the feasibility of this matter was quite large. Yin Yi also seemed very obedient beside him, although he was very surprised, but fortunately he did not open his mouth to object.
Soon, the three people who came early hurriedly retreated. I think I should hurry back to the clan to discuss this matter.
Xiao Chumo and his wife didn't pay attention to what happened after this, this was just a surprise that came out of the way, they just had to wait patiently for the result.
Speaking of which, although the negotiating army was not in a hurry, there were not many stops along the way. Now it's good to take this opportunity to come out and breathe.
Therefore, after the elders of the Zhu clan and the others returned, the two put the matter aside for the time being, and went for a walk around the city themselves, and did not return until almost noon.
"No, I don't agree!"
In the hall of the Zhu clan, a somewhat sharp female voice suddenly came out. A girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old was propped up on the table with her hands, and her beautiful face was slightly angry at this time.
Judging from her clothes, although the pattern is a little peculiar, but gorgeous enough, it is enough to see that she is very noble in the clan.
"Who knows if that person is the reincarnation of the god of the night, why should we give the position of the Holy Maiden to an unrelated outsider?"
"Princess Menglin, now that the patriarchs have agreed to this matter, all the elders are also present. If there is any objection, you just need to convince them. ”
An old man's voice came, although there were some vicissitudes, but the seriousness and majesty in it were still difficult to hide. Sitting in front of the woman at this time, wasn't it the elder who had visited Xiao Chumo before!
In addition to him, there were four other older elders sitting at the table, who were none other than the elders of the Yu clan. And the man who sat on the throne must be the patriarch of this clan.
Because of this condition put forward by Yu Panxi, at this time, all the noble people who were really in power in the Yu clan gathered together to discuss the feasibility of this matter.
However, just after everyone agreed, such an opposition suddenly emerged.
After hearing Meng Lin's words, the rest of the people all turned their eyes to each other. Displeasure and dissatisfaction abound in her eyes, but because of her face, she didn't say it in the end.
However, although the former could see their disapproval, they were very insistent on their own views and refused to change what they said.
When the elder of the Zhu clan heard her say, he was just holding on to the identity of Yu Panxi's god of the dark night, and he couldn't be sure of this, so he finally couldn't help but choke her: "Princess, isn't this suspecting that Yin Yi is lying?" Although the old man's son is a little naughty when he is young, he never dares to joke with the gods! ”
Besides, Yin Yi brought seven or eight people with him at that time, including some sons of the other two elders. They saw it all, and it couldn't have been what we told them to say. ”
The other two elders he ordered naturally echoed his words and nodded: "Yes, the old man's son was indeed present at that time. ”
"Princess Meng Lin, is this suspecting that several of our elders have teamed up to gain the name of the God of the Night with the help of an outsider?"
It can be seen that this elder was indeed a little annoyed by Meng Lin, and even directly involved this issue to collude with outsiders.
This is a serious problem, after all, colluding with outsiders has been a great crime since ancient times. What's more, the status of several elders in the outer field is already extremely noble among the Dong clan, even only below the patriarch. In any case, such a charge would only be funny to put on them.
How could Meng Lin have imagined that the elders would actually combine like this and turn their words at her?
Although it was obvious that he was a little lacking in confidence, he still stiffened his neck and retorted: "I didn't mean that." But when the soldiers of the Nanjin Kingdom came, have you forgotten the scene of corpses everywhere? Could it be that the hatred at the beginning was to be given up because of such a saint who appeared out of thin air? ”
"The old man also said just now that the submission is only temporary. If he Xiao Chumo fails to give the Dong clan a fair remark, we can choose to leave at any time! ”
"And what if he's just using this as an excuse to keep us steady?"
Meng Lin couldn't understand the attitude of several elders. Obviously it was just a foreigner, why were they so willing to believe it?
The patriarch on the throne saw that the atmosphere in the house had begun to become tense, and he was worried that it would get worse if he let it go any longer, so he quickly opened his mouth to interrupt the argument: "The matter will be agreed upon, and we will send someone to bring our results to Xiao Chumo later." ”
"Father!"
Meng Lin turned her head to look at him, and her face could not hide a little eagerness.
Then the patriarch didn't care about her shouting, and when he saw that she was going to say something, he couldn't help but glare at her, and took out his majesty as the head of the clan: "Meng Lin, don't be willful!" If you make any more trouble, I'll lock you up in the house!" ”
I have to say that at this time, it was really his words that worked best. Even if Meng Lin was reluctant to this result in her heart, she really didn't say anything more in the end, and just left with an angry face.
"Elders, I apologize to you on behalf of Meng Lin. That's it. ”
After Meng Lin left, the patriarch turned around, and his posture was not as tough as that he had faced her.
The elders all nodded, and there was no anger in their words that they were arguing with her.
"She is also a few of us who grew up, so naturally she won't have anything to do with her."
"yes, we all know her temper. This time, it was also because she touched on the issue of submission that she was so excited! ”
As for the reason why Meng Lin insisted so much on this matter, everyone present knew it.
When that disaster came, Meng Lin was less than ten years old. Because the disaster happened suddenly, she almost watched her mother be brutally murdered by the soldiers of the Nanjin Kingdom.
But at that time, the whole tribe was in disarray, and she was young, and it was very difficult for her to move in the environment that she was once familiar with. By the time the patriarch sent someone to carefully retrieve her mother's body, it had already been trampled beyond recognition by the iron horsemen.
After the Zhu clan moved to their current location, although life was restarted, Menglin's heart left a hurdle that could not be overcome.
This issue was rarely mentioned in front of her, and it was not until she left in a hurry that the patriarch could sit in his seat and sigh and sigh: "Blame me too, thinking that she has no mother and is too doting on her." always thinks about giving her the best in everything, so that she has developed such a brutal and willful temperament as she is now. ”
The elders could certainly understand his feelings, after all, as they said, Meng Lin was raised by them. It is indeed a pity that it has become such a willful way today.
