Early in the morning, Yang Dayou, the treasury steward of the City Lord's Mansion, began to get busy. This time, the location of the Yang family's clan meeting was set up in the city lord's mansion, and he was responsible for the tables, chairs, tea sets, etc. needed, and he was not busy with everything until the end of the day.

In his heart, Yang Dayou still hopes that Yang Wu can continue to serve as the patriarch of the family, in the past ten years, the Yang family has steadily become the strongest clan in Xizhou under the leadership of Yang Wu, according to this trend, it is not impossible to become the first clan in the world one day.

"When the time comes, we will be from the royal family!" Yang Dayou couldn't help but think of it with some vanity. However, then he was discouraged, thinking that Yang Wu had made it clear yesterday that he would no longer seek the re-election of the patriarch, and would nominate another member of the clan to run for election - but who could be more suitable than him? Yang Dayou thought carefully about several people in the younger generation, and they all felt unreliable.

"Maybe it's about to start to decline......" After a pause, Yang Dayou thought pessimistically.

He was pessimistic in his heart, but some people couldn't hold back their joy in their hearts.

Yang Jun and his entourage set off early from the camp outside the city, first took a good turn in Xizhou City, and then walked to the City Lord's Mansion without hurrying.

"Second brother, today is the day when you and I will turn over and make great achievements, and the benefits you promise me will not be less!" Yang Min's face was full of joy at this time, and he ignored the stunned guards outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and said loudly.

"Father, be quiet!" Yang Rui reminded on the side.

"Afraid of what? Didn't Xinshuicheng and Xiangshuicheng already promise that they would not support the candidates recommended by Yang Wu? So what's the suspense? Yang Min said disapprerovingly.

"Old five, you must not relax until the end!" Yang Jun said in a deep voice, seeing that Yang Min's face was still full of indifference, he was even more displeased: "It's hard to say now, although Xinshui and Xiangshui promised not to vote for Yang Wu's side, they also said that they would decide whether to vote for Yang Xian because of the situation on our side...... That's where I'm worried. After speaking, he glanced at Yang Xiandao, who was half a step slower than himself.

"Uncle, it's my lack of experience that has made it difficult for you - but don't worry, I'll do a good job!" Yang Xian immediately stepped up and lowered his voice.

"Humph! You're interested. After speaking, he ignored the others and took the lead in entering the council hall.

said that it was a hall, but it was just a hall that temporarily arranged Yang Wu's residence, removed the furniture and ornaments that were not needed, and arranged some more tables and chairs.

"The Second Elder is here!" I don't know who shouted first, and the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down, and then a greeting of "Hello Second Elder" and "Second Elder Don't Come Harm" rushed to the face. Yang Jun still enjoys this kind of treatment very much, after all, no matter how calm a person is, in flattery and flattery, he often becomes fluttery.

"Those who can see it know that the second elder is coming, and those who can't see it think that the patriarch is coming!" Just when even Yang Jun felt that it was difficult to extricate himself from this boasting, a sneer from the corner instantly woke him up, and then he stared directly at the person who spoke, and shouted the person's name viciously: "Yang Jiuguan!" ”

It turned out that everyone who was still angry when they heard the ridicule waited for Yang Jun to scold angrily and took advantage of the situation to criticize him, but what he didn't expect was that although Yang Jun found that person angrily, he seemed to have named that person-Yang Jiuguan!

Sifang City Yang Jiuguan, the nine elders of the Yang clan - he is famous in the clan not because of his status as an elder, but because of his status in the rivers and lakes. Let's put it this way, the poison who assassinated Yang Wu at the beginning was not dead, and he only needed to say "forget it" in front of him, and the poison did not die, so he had to obediently pack up and leave.

Of course, everyone knows that this is the time to choose the patriarch, not to engage in vendetta, so even if they are not convinced, they will not be mad at the moment - besides, everyone in the family knows his relationship with the Great Elder, and if he is an enemy, he is an enemy of the Great Elder, which is worth considering before anyone has the next move.

"The Second Elder still remembers me." Yang Jiuguan didn't seem to see Yang Jun who was full of anger, and shouted behind Yang Jun with a raised hand: "Brother Junhou, Brother Qingyu, come here and get together!" ”

"Ahh The Nine Elders are really fast! The younger of the two behind him first smiled in response, and then went straight to Yang Jiuguan.

Another person who seemed to be older deliberately took a step behind the man, and when he walked to Yang Jun's side, he nodded slightly, and then laughed and scolded, "I actually caused some trouble", and walked over.

"Ringing water, new water is not ...... Why is this kind of attitude......" Yang Min and the three of them, who came from behind, looked at the Sixth Elder Yang Junhou and the Tenth Elder Yang Qingyu and said.

"I'm afraid that today's things are not as easy as I imagined." Yang Jun lowered his voice and said, the attitude of this new water and Xiangshui is far less enthusiastic than the night before!

"What?" Yang Min exclaimed, and the sudden sound made the scene stagnant again.

"It is said that you are a quick temper, shouting like this, could it be that there is a fire at home?" The person who said this was an old man who looked older than Yang Duan, but in fact he was the third elder of the ten elders of the Yang clan, Ancheng Yang Yanshuo, who was one or two years younger than Yang Jun, and Mo Ti was older than Yang Duan - just because he had been in the Fengyue place for many years, he had aged prematurely.

"Who did you think it was, it turned out to be Yang Sanlang!" It was not Yang Jun and Yang Min who responded to his words, but the four elders Jiangcheng Yang Yizhou, who had been submerged in the crowd and silently watched the play - when it came to the title of "Yang Sanlang", no one in the Yang family knew what it meant, and it was the so-called "three times in one night".

"Humph!" Hearing Yang Yizhou's words, Yang Yanshuo just snorted coldly and stopped speaking.

"Everyone is a family, why make such a stiff fuss!" There was another sound, and a thin man walked through the doorway. The reason why he is only said to be thin is because such thin people are rare: first, he is a dwarf; Secondly, he was a man—which may not seem unusual, but if you add a third—how could he not be impressive in a woman's clothes?

Acropolis Yang Xingquan, Eight Elders.

"Exactly, a few of them are reasonable people, today's clan discussion is related to the fate of the rise and fall of our Yang clan, everyone should put aside their personal grievances first, and deal with them when the plan is set!" Yang Jun calmed down the anger that had just been aroused by Yang Jiuguan, and also followed Yang Xingquan's words.

"Exactly, everyone should still focus on the overall situation." Yang Min also knew that it was really inappropriate to make trouble at this time, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Humph!" Yang Yizhou snorted lightly, no longer spoke, but nodded at Yang Jun and turned around and walked away.

"Let's all go back to their respective places, and the time for the clan discussion is almost up." Seeing that Yang Yizhou did not go toe-to-toe with Yang Yanshuo again, Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned the others to sit down one by one.

As soon as everyone sat down, Yang Wu and Yang Duan walked in. The two of them did not come alone, Yang Wu was followed by Yang Jian, but Yang Duan was supported by Hua Hate Liu.

Why is it my business again!

Hua Hate Liu was puzzled in her heart: This time it didn't represent the identity of the head of Si Chou Zhai, who was not afraid of heaven, right? Your Yang clan is engaged in clan discussions, why are you pulling me an outsider?

There were doubts in his heart, but the old man patted his hands very considerately, signaling him to be calm.

Although it was a clan discussion, because it was not yet the time for Yang Wu to officially resign as the patriarch, he was naturally exempted from the debriefing, and after everyone sat down again, the old man first spoke a few words, and then Yang Wu took over the conversation and began to talk about the main topic of the clan discussion.

"Yang Wu knows very well that the surrender of Kaesong has caused a great impact on my clan, and there are still many people who still scold me Yang Wu, and it has also caused the entire clan to bear the stigma for me...... Moreover, the current situation is becoming more and more severe day by day, I don't know when the situation will change abruptly, and the people of Li will suffer from the disaster of soldiers, and the next patriarch will be determined as soon as possible, not only can he be familiar with the clan affairs, but also share some pressure from the rear for me when the army comes, therefore, although the time has not yet come, Yang Wu still feels that it is necessary to convene this clan meeting, please consider it carefully, all clan brothers and elders! ”

"The surrender of Kaesong is nothing in my opinion." The old man picked up the conversation and set the tone for this matter: "Kaicheng can save the entire Xizhou people from the disaster of blood and rebellion, and if someone scolds him, let him continue to scold, my Yang family is still confident in what kind of statement will be given in the future...... But the latter reason you said is also true......" Speaking of this, the old man swept the others and said, "Then let's discuss whether it is necessary to choose the next patriarch first, and if so, who is appropriate!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the rest of the people who didn't know immediately exploded, and some people immediately objected: "The people of Qinglong Kiln think that the patriarch can't be changed!" As I said earlier, the situation has changed dramatically, and if there is a war and chaos tomorrow, how can our new patriarch lead the whole clan in the right direction? We disagree! ”

"The people of the Loess Dam think that the patriarch must be changed! Even if the war starts tomorrow, when the Seventh Elder is in front of the patriarch, he can still lead the clan and train the next patriarch without delay......"

"Bastard, I'm also from the Loess Dam, I don't agree with you, the Seventh Elder made great contributions to the entire clan during his tenure as the patriarch, leading the clan to an unprecedented peak, I strongly recommend that the Seventh Elder be re-elected as the patriarch for another ten years!"

"Yuanshuigou's agreement to elect a new patriarch!"

"Hirayama's disagreement!"

……

Seeing that this serious clan discussion was about to turn into a group fight and scolding on the street, the old man snorted angrily, and all sides were silent.

"Yang Jun, what do you think?" As soon as these words were asked, everyone on the spot understood that this was the main event.

"Big brother, I think we old guys should suppress the thoughts in our hearts first, and listen to what this group of juniors have to say." Yang Jun stood up, took off the black fox felt hat on the top of his head, put it on the low table next to him and said: "There are not many opportunities to hold clan meetings on weekdays, not to mention that these young people rarely see them, and even we old guys don't remember what we said last time the clan council!" ”

When Yang Jun said this, his tone relaxed, and everyone listening next to him immediately laughed.

"What an important matter the clan discussion is, it has become a trivial matter in the old woman's mouth in your mouth, and you don't remember it!" Although the tone was strong, everyone also heard that the old man did not blame.

"It's okay, we should give the young people a chance, let them talk about it first, lest we old guys dare not say it as soon as they open their mouths." glanced at the several elders present and the younger generation standing behind them—it was the younger generation, but compared to people like Yang Duan and Yang Jun, most of them were middle-aged backbones like Yang Xian and Yang Rui who were over thirty and forty.

"Little Huahua, let's talk about it first!" In a panic, Hua Hagoliu found that the old man's gaze had been tightly locked on him, and he smiled kindly.

"Little Red Flower...... Be...... Me? ”
