Chapter 22: The House of Angry Elders

The Ji Clan's House of Elders was directly behind the royal court, and Chen Zhi walked all the way down the wide and lengthy passage to the depths. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The House of Elders was still as solemn and sacred, and the black stone staircase suspended in the air, leading to the black pavilion at the top.

Chen Zhi walked up the ancient stone staircase full of cracks, and saw from a distance that the elders led by Ji Hu were standing at the other end of the steps with angry faces to greet him, and when they saw Chen Zhi appear, they immediately all knelt on the ground.

"The patriarch is above, please save my Ji clan from fire and water!" ,

Ji Hu and the elders continued to shout with emotion,

"Our Ji royal family has gone through more than 5,000 years, we advocate martial arts, loyal and simple, the glory of the samurai has always been better than life, but the new leader will exile our chief samurai Ji Yang, this is a great shame, now everyone in the Xiqi royal family is in danger, the Ji samurai are all chilling, please the patriarch to think of our old and weak old age, control the rights of the new leader, do not inflict such a harsh punishment on the great warrior of Ji Yang, ah...... ah, ~~~~~~ woo woo ~~~~~"

Ji Hu's emotions were very excited, and since he wailed, all the elders behind him were also very excited, and their blood was spurting, almost setting the entire Xiqi Royal City on fire.

Chen Zhi knew that this was the unique character of the Ji clan's royal family, because they admired martial arts, they had gone through the battlefield, no matter how old they were, they couldn't behave too calmly, and these elders were the elite of the elite, once they wanted to make a move, the entire Xiqi Royal City would really be turned upside down.

"Elders, let's go in and say~~~",

Chen Zhi bypassed them and walked all the way inside, and Ji Hu followed all the way, talking non-stop.

"Ji Yang Great Samurai is different from others, he has made great achievements in this life, and has created countless glories, half of our organization is supported by him and the old leader, he and the old leader have treated each other with all their hearts and minds, and have saved ......."

"So what? Don't you know why the new chief punished him? After Chen Zhi walked to the hall, he calmly sat on the stone chair and asked,

"Elder Jihu, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a samurai? Is it merit or loyalty? ā€

"This ......",

Chen Zhi's question made Ji Hu speechless,

"Ji Yang, he ......, Ji Yang did speak against the new leader, but it did happen for a reason, I can understand his feelings, the leader can give him a punishment, but this punishment is too heavy.".

Ji Hu was no longer so excited when he said this, his old eyebrows drooped, and he looked a little weak and sad,

"It's okay to exile Ji Yang, but to strip him of his clan and even strip him of his name, what a humiliation it is, it's more shameful than killing him. Ji Yang is also old...... he has experienced countless lives and deaths in his life, why humiliate him so much in the end? This ......, this is tantamount to forcing him to the opposite side of the shadows! That's not wise! Ji Hu's eyes were a little red when he said this, and his voice trembled and pleaded,

"Patriarch, I have some personal relations with Ji Yang, and since the new leader doesn't need him anymore, let the old man persuade him to come back, deprive him of his position as the chief warrior, and let him retire in the elders' house!"

Chen Zhi listened carefully to every word Ji Hu said, his fingers lightly tapped on the stone table, and after being silent for a long time, he turned his head and asked Ji Hu,

"Ji Hu, you just said that you can understand Ji Yang's mood, what do you mean by this sentence? Do you think that Ji Yang is right to contradict the leader, thinking that the new leader is a foreign surname, not a descendant of your Ji family, so he is not worthy of inheriting the throne? ā€

"Nope! No! No! ā€ļ¼Œ

Ji Hu realized that he had said the wrong thing at this time, and immediately took a few steps back and lowered his head,

"The subordinates don't dare!".

"The new leader has taken the throne, and the leader's orders are everything, and they must be obeyed whether it is right or wrong. You know this rule better than I do, right? Chen Zhi asked solemnly.

"Yes!" ,

Ji Hu replied in a proper manner, "The subordinates just feel that this punishment is too heavy, and some of it is too unreasonable!" ā€

"Whether it is reasonable or not is a matter of the chief, your task is only to carry out, as for the ...... of the chief's thoughts, what does it matter to you? Do you try to interfere with the minds of your princes? Want to usurp? Chen Zhi's face was unusually cold.

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are guilty of capital crimes!" ,

Ji Hu immediately knelt down, and then the other elders also knelt down with him, Chen Zhi's words were too heavy, they couldn't afford it at all.

Chen Zhi still tapped his fingers on the table calmly, looked down at the elders kneeling in front of him, was silent for a long time, and finally said,

"You guys should have found out, right? The Blue Ribbon Samurai in the organization are unusually supportive and even die-hard about the new leader, do you know why? ā€ć€‚

"This ......",

Chen Zhi's question happened to be on the place that Ji Yang had been puzzled about, and from the day of the succession ceremony, everyone found that the Blue Ribbon warrior was loyal to the newly appointed Bao Ping, and even protected him with death, which everyone did not expect.

"Okay, I'll tell you why I'm ...... right now", Chen Zhi said calmly,

"On the surface, the Red Belt Samurai are the most powerful force, capable of slashing dozens of Blue Belt Samurai, and are the leader of all the Samurai. But don't forget, no matter how powerful the Red Belt Samurai are, after all, there are only five people, and the backbone of the organization is actually thousands of Blue Belt Samurai",

Chen Zhi tapped the stone table rhythmically with his fingers, looking at Ji Hu's eyes,

"Do you remember? The old leader once planted the blue ribbon warriors of the organization beside Bao Ping in batches, obviously to protect Bao Ping, but in fact, to give them time to contact, this unobtrusive method seems to be no problem, but in fact, there is a big mystery.

I've noticed that these Blue Ribbon warriors are different every time they send out, which is equivalent to taking turns to contact Bao Ping, and they are all the elite of the Blue Ribbon warriors, and they are all echoed by the blue ribbon warriors.

In the more than ten years that Bao Ping has carried out tasks for the organization, these blue ribbon warriors have also been born and died with him, sharing honor and disgrace, they have rolled out of the dead together, and they have been on the sword mountain and the sea of fire together, this kind of comradeship cannot be exchanged for any money.

Believe it or not, if someone wants to remove Bao Ping from power now, those blue ribbon warriors would rather break their bones than protect him, even if they are facing a red belt samurai, even if they are facing your ......, they will not be afraid! ā€

"This ......",

Ji Hu and the other elders kept kneeling on the ground, listening to Chen Zhi's words, their eyes floating, as if they had just woken up from a big dream.

"Now you get the idea, right? Ji Hu, the old leader has long intended to leave the throne to his righteous son, and he has been doomed since more than ten years ago", Chen Zhi looked at the elders and said,

"As for why the old chief chose someone with a foreign surname to inherit his position, I think the reason should be this.

Times have changed, this is not an era of desperate efforts by force alone, and the position of the leader of the organization is no longer physical skills or mana, but requires more far-sighted courage and strategic commanding thinking, which Bao Ping has.

Moreover, the organization has been respecting the bloodline of the Ji family for thousands of years, which makes the samurai with foreign surnames very suspicious, and there is already a lesson in blood, and the collective rebellion of Fu Ye Wanda and his son and the last samurai is an example.

The succession of Bao Ping, a person with a foreign surname, is undoubtedly a new hope for the samurai with a foreign surname, letting them know that the selection within the organization is fair, and there is hope regardless of their origin, so that the balance of the organization can be maintained, and the organization will have a future!

Ji Hu, I've said so much, I've already explained all the obsessions in your heart, now you should die! ā€

"Yes......"

Ji Hu's face had turned pale, his emotions were no longer excited, and Chen Zhi's straightforward words completely exposed the dissatisfaction that he had been entangled in his heart.

At this time, Chen Zhi stood up, looked down at Ji Hu at his feet, and said solemnly,

"Jihu, don't have any doubts about the new leader, I won't say what you said to me today, but if there is a next time, I will treat your doubts as disloyalty to the leader, and execute you for treason. Don't forget, the golden rule of the organization, no mercy! ā€

"The subordinates are stupid, the words of the patriarch make the subordinates wake up like a dream, and the subordinates no longer dare to have narrow-minded thoughts, please forgive the patriarch!"

Ji Hu's hands fell to the ground, and this time he was completely surrendered..................
