Quan Yuren returned to the noble council, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the magnates surrounding Quan Mingde and Lao Chen asking questions about the east and west, and they were all about the pass and the spirit clan. When everyone saw Quan Yuren and immediately pointed the finger at him, Quan Yuren had to calm their emotions and take them to the living room to sit down and discuss slowly.

"Old City Lord, what do you mean by the Merchant Clan's pass and the acceptance of the Spirit Clan? How can you agree to such a thing?" Before the nobles could sit down, someone directly asked the question, unceremoniously.

"Da Mu is first and foremost gone with Mu Chen, what should we do in Baoling Prefecture, and what will we do to deal with the tide of Warcraft next year?"

"What kind of race is the Spirit Race, Old City Lord, don't you know the bottom line of human beings, how can you allow aliens to step into our land?"

"Old city lord, we have supported you for thirty years, how can you explain such things to us, do you see our rights and interests being damaged and ignore it?"

"The old city lord... The old city lord..."

There was also chaos in the living room, and everyone was talking to the father and son, expressing their dissatisfaction.

In the end, Quan Yuren broke out, took the case, and shouted angrily at everyone: "I know everyone's dissatisfaction, but this is the council, not the vegetable market, if you have something to say, don't lose the dignity that a nobleman should have." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly an old man in plain cloth, white hair and white beard, who was over the age of old, slammed the ground with a cane, overwhelmed everyone's voices, got up tremblingly and said to Quan Yuren: "My old man will no longer participate in the political affairs of the state since you Prince Ren took office, and it is said that I am in awe of the royal family, and that I dare not compete with you for the position of city lord, but I know my own ability, and it is wise to abdicate and let the virtuous people go." In the past 30 years, I have never objected to any of your claims, and I have stayed in my own territory to recuperate for the rest of my life, but today's matter, if you don't explain the reasons to convince everyone, I will fight this old bone and pull you down from the position of the lord of the city. ”

Quan Yuren carefully observed the old man who spoke, only to find that he was Liu Yixian, the nobleman with the longest seniority in Baoling Prefecture, and their family was the first nobleman to move into Baoling Prefecture, and was in charge of Baoling Prefecture's finance, taxation and military affairs for generations.

"Isn't this Liu Lao? Why are you here in person, I haven't seen you for many years, and your body is still so tough. Quan Yuren hurriedly greeted him from the main seat, held him with both hands, and was courteous in every way.

Liu Yi first leaned on crutches, measured his body, and shook Quan Yuren's hand away. said mercilessly: "Prince Ren, my old man came today to ask for sin, not to make friends with you. ”

"Liu Lao, where are you talking about this, you can correct me if I am wrong, why be angry?" In Baoling Prefecture, ordinary people may not know Liu Yixian, because he has not been the master for thirty years, and he rarely shows his face, but among the nobles, his status is respected, and many people have interests with him, and even provide financial support from him, so even if Quan Yuren has the status of a royal family, he has been a city lord for thirty years, and he still does not dare to conflict with him head-on.

"Alright, that's all for the politeness. Accept the spirits, you explain. After speaking, Liu Yixian sat down and twisted his head to the other side, and Quan Yuren had no choice but to return to his seat.

"Since everyone is against this, then I'll tell you the truth..."Quan Yuren told the truth how he obtained the merchant group pass, how he compensated Lianbazan Qimu, how he got the Touyi and Spirit Stone from Mu Chen, and how he was forced to accept the Spirit Clan, all of them told the truth, and defended that he could only swallow his anger in order to protect Lingzhou, which was really helpless.

"Prince Ren, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us, you..."

"Elder Liu, let's not talk about what kind of consequences the slaughter of the merchant group will bring, we can't afford to offend Mu Chen just by offending him. Xiao'er only argued with him for a few words, and everyone knows what the consequences will be. You say, what can I do if I tell you about this, and who of you here dares to speak up to him. Seeing that Liu Yixian's attitude softened, Quan Yuren deliberately pretended to be pitiful to win everyone's sympathy.

"Alas... I didn't expect there to be so many hidden secrets, it's really difficult for you, my old man just said something serious, I will compensate you. Liu Yi stood up first and was about to bow and apologize, but Quan Yuren hurriedly ran over and hugged him, but he didn't dare to accept it.

Seeing this, the nobleman next to him got up and gave up his seat to Quan Yuren, and the two sat down side by side, sweeping away the previous misunderstanding.

"Prince Ren, you give him back this money, and my old man will make it up for you, as for Tho Yi... You have moved all the villages and towns around the tomb to my fiefdom, and I will take care of their lives in the future, and how can there be five hundred wings that have been saved for generations. Let's solve our own affairs by ourselves, and don't eat the coercion and temptation of his pioneers. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the nobles were silent, they didn't agree with Liu Yixian's approach, but they couldn't imagine that since he was willing to pay out of his own pocket, the value of fifty spirit stones was almost a year's financial and tax revenue of Baoling Prefecture, and the cost of nearly 10,000 people settling down was also a huge expense.

Quan Yuren took advantage of the stunned opportunity of everyone to quickly weigh the pros and cons in his mind: "If I don't agree, even if I keep the position of the city lord, no one is willing to obey me anymore." If you agree, although I'm sorry for Mu Chen, it's also what he means to put me first..."

"Prince Ren, my old man is waiting for your answer. ”

"Elder Liu, allow me to ask one more question, what should the Patriarch do? My father's unreasonable request to Mu Chen was not only because of money, you may not know, the Patriarch and Mu Chen are like brothers and sisters, if he is sent away, the Patriarch will inevitably leave with him, and then we will ensure the safety of Lingzhou..."

"It's... I never thought about it..."

"Elder Liu, what the young city lord said is reasonable, we will definitely not accept foreign races, but if we lose the patriarch because of this, I think..."

"Yes, Elder Liu, he Mu Chen has already obtained the pass, and he can leave with the two wasteland women at any time, if the patriarch also leaves with them, who will protect our safety?"

"The patriarch is the key, Elder Liu, or promise Mu Chen. ”

In terms of security, in the past three years in Baoling Prefecture, Qiluna has basically solved the threat of demonic beasts in all the nobles' fiefdoms, as long as there is something, the nobles will go to the council to find her for help, and she never shirks, so in addition to the man-made incidents in the border areas and Qiming Village that people don't care about, the casualties caused by the invasion of demonic beasts in Baoling Prefecture in three years are no more than 100 people, and her presence also has a strong deterrent to the illegal invaders of the wasteland. As for the financial aspect, until now, the spirit stones she collected to revitalize the land have not been used.

Everyone in the aristocracy has received her help, and everyone admires her from the bottom of their hearts, including Liu Yixian, who stays at home, so when it comes to Qiluna, everyone hesitates.

Quan Yuren seized the opportunity and proposed to Liu Yixian: "Old Liu, if you don't have the money, we all have a way to get it together, but this person's heart is not so simple." You see if this will work, we agreed to Mu Chen's condition and arranged the Spirit Clan inland, but correspondingly..."

"No, I don't accept aliens, I don't agree. Liu Yi interrupted Quan Yuren first and rejected categorically.

"Old Liu, I haven't finished my words yet, you wait for me to analyze clearly before making a decision. Everyone ignored one point, even if the Great Patriarch didn't go with Mu Chen, if she wanted to leave Baoling Prefecture or stop helping you one day, who would be able to control her. In the past three years, we have been so accustomed to the days when the Patriarch is by our side that we have forgotten that no one here has the ability to keep her, so it is better to take this opportunity to let Mu Chen leave the Patriarch behind, at least to help us survive the tide once in sixty years, this is the top priority. ”

"Yes... Yes, what the old lord said is, I can't even imagine how we can deal with the tide without the Great Patriarch. ”

"We must leave the Patriarch until after the tide, or we will be finished in Baoling Prefecture. ”

Liu Yi experienced the tide first, when their family was taken into the cave by Wei Gang to hide, although that time because of Mu Chen and Qi Luna, the human race had almost no loss, but the mountain-high piles of demonic beast corpses and the thick blood that gathered into a stream made him unforgettable, but even so, he was still unwilling to accept the alien race, so he said: "The homeland can be rebuilt if it is gone, and once the alien race sets foot on our land, it will never be again..."

"Elder Liu, who said that we are going to let the Spirit Clan settle in, and agreeing to accept them is just a delaying tactic, just according to what Mu Chen said, arrange them in Qiming Village, and when they finish rebuilding the village, we will work together to drive them away, what is the attitude of human beings towards foreign races, he Mu Chen is clear, I will use this as an excuse to drive them to the border, let them fend for themselves in a ruined black market, and let them face the barbaric wasteland people, so that we can save money, and keep the Great Patriarch, and we must not offend Mu Chen, he can't blame the will of the people of the whole state on our heads, wouldn't it be more than one stone." 。 ”

These words moved Liu Yixian, the border is the same as the wasteland for him, it is a wild land, it does not belong to human civilization, and it is harmless to arrange the spirit clan there, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and praised Quan Yuren Yitong, saying that he is thoughtful and broad-minded, and it is really condescending to be trapped in a small Baoling Prefecture.

In the end, Quan Yuren gave thousands of instructions to all the nobles present, warning them not to reveal today's events, so as not to be caught by Mu Chen and bite back in the future.

It was already evening when Quan Yuren sent the nobles away, and finally had time for him to sit down and relax, and after a cup of tea, he called Quanming De to the study, praised him for relieving his worries in time, and at the same time told him about the coming of the Spirit Clan tomorrow, and instructed him to act at the opportunity.
