In the elder's courtyard, several white-clothed and white-bearded old men sat opposite each other. There was not the slightest ornament on their white clothes, it was very simple, except for a small golden leaf carved on the shoulder, which would not be noticeable unless it was examined carefully.

But everyone in the House of Elders knows that this pure gold leaf is a unique symbol of status in the House of Elders. As long as there is this sign on the shoulder, it means that the person is a member of the House of Elders.

And this leaf is not an ordinary leaf, in addition to being carved with pure gold, it has different identities and different textures.

In the House of Elders, the distribution of ranks is very strict. Different grades, the leaf patterns on the shoulders, also have different divisions.

The white-clothed old men in front of them, the leaf lines on their shoulders were all neatly stacked on top of each other. If you are a person who knows the situation of the Elders' House, I am afraid that you will know that these old people in front of you are all high-level people in the Elders' House, and they can almost be said to be the people with the highest status.

In the House of Elders, there are five levels, the first level has only one gold leaf, and the fifth level has five gold leaves. The level increases from low to high. Therefore, these old people are indeed the most respected people in the elders' house today.

They sat in their esteemed chairs, with several cups of hot tea in front of them, and white smoke curled from them, and the mere smell of the tea made them feel refreshed. Needless to say, this must be a rare and peerless tea, and outside, it may not be seen at all.

But for these elders, they have long been accustomed to it. As the top of the House of Elders, their lives are naturally not something that ordinary people can imagine.

Being able to sit in this position, they are not ordinary characters.

One of the old men with a long beard stretched out his hand, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip slowly, and glanced at the old men next to him with a pair of calm eyes like water. The other old men were also sitting upright in their places, and they were not saying a word at the moment, apparently, waiting for him to speak.

The bearded old man didn't know what he was thinking, and frowned slightly, but then quickly stretched out again. He looked at the tea in front of him, slowly blew the tea leaves, and then took a sip, and the sweet tea suddenly spread from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart, which was endlessly memorable.

The other elderly sat upright and did not squint. But in fact, any little wind and grass around them can't compete with their eyes and hearts.

After the bearded old man moved, the old man's body also moved slightly, but he didn't make much movement. None of them spoke.

After the long-bearded old man finished drinking tea, he glanced at the serious appearance of several old friends who had been together for decades without squinting, and couldn't help but say a few words in his heart.

After another moment, there was still silence in the air.

The bearded old man obviously knew that on the occasion in front of him, if he didn't open his mouth again, these old guys would probably sit until they were old, and they wouldn't say a word.

He covered his lips and coughed softly.

"Ahem—"

When the old men heard the movement of the bearded old man, they all turned their heads in unison and looked in his direction in unison.

After receiving the baptism of the eyes of several old men, a trace of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the bearded old man, but since this was the case, he had to speak. What's more, apart from him, no one can open their mouths to break this tranquility.

"The ten-year land competition is less than ten days away, and it's about to start, I don't know if you guys, do you have any ideas?" The bearded old man pondered for a moment and said slowly.

After hearing this, the old men looked at each other, and one of the old men touched his white beard, and muttered for a while before he spoke: "Big brother, this land competition is only once in ten years, and it involves so many countries. ”

Several old people next to him listened to what the old man said, and they all nodded in agreement.

The fourth child is right, this rule is dead, but people are alive. In order for this land competition to be carried out smoothly, it is necessary to consider the stakes involved.

The bearded old man was the oldest among them, and he was also the most respected, so several other old men called him the eldest brother, and his external name was Huangyi. As for the others, they are also ranked according to their age and qualifications.

There were a total of five old people present, so they were ranked all the way to the fifth brother. The one who just spoke was the fourth old man among them: Huang Si.

Huang Yi listened to Huang Si's words, and nodded slightly, what the fourth said was indeed right, but right now, what they need to discuss when they sit here today is not the rules of this game?

"In that case, what do you think of this rule, and let's go through it one by one? It is precisely for this reason that you are convened today. A few days ago, everyone was a little busy, and they haven't done a deeper exchange on this land competition. Today, I hope you can also talk about your thoughts, after all, this land competition is not far away. ”

Several old men began to look at each other again, and then Huang Er thought for a while, and took the lead in speaking: "Big brother is right, now this land competition has also been put on the agenda, and in a few days, the announcement of this competition will be released, and we can't delay it any longer." ”

Huang San took a sip of tea beside him, and then said, "The rules this time, but the same as ten years ago?" How many directions will the game be played? ”

Huang Wu, who was the youngest among the old people and had seniority, had never spoken before, and when he heard his brothers say this, he couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Wu thinks that this land competition is only held once in ten years, if it is still as usual, will it be too untimely? Now that ten years have passed, the way of life of the people is different from before, should this rule also be changed to keep up with the pace of life now? ”

Huang Wu is relatively shallow among these old people, because of his age and qualifications, but he also has the most ideas on weekdays among these five people. After all, Huang Yi and Huang are already old fritters, and they don't move on weekdays, unlike Huang Wu, who has more contact with the outside world, and their ideas are different from them.

But occasionally the ideas put forward by Huang Wu made several other old people look at it with admiration. What's more, he is the youngest, and the few older brothers on weekdays also take better care of this younger brother.

Hearing Huang Wu say this, Huang Yi and several other old men looked at each other, Huang Yi touched his long beard, and a trace of interest flashed in his eyes. The rules of this land competition, in fact, he also has a headache. If it doesn't change, it's the same as it was ten years ago, and it doesn't make any sense at all.

What's more, the countries that participated in it at that time are also very familiar with this rule, which is not a wonderful thing for new countries, and it is always a little unfair. But if it is to change, it will be a headache for them old men.

They don't know how to change it. Although they are the high-level members of the elder group, they have already left many things to do, except for some decision-making matters that must be intervened. For the changes in the outside world, their perception is actually relatively low.

"Xiao Wu has a point, but how this rule should be changed is also a headache for us now. According to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, what do you think should be good? ”

After Huang Yi spoke, Huang Er and the others next to him also looked at Huang Wu with a pair of eyes, waiting for him to give them advice to a few old men.

Huang Wu looked at the eyes of several brothers who looked at him together, but he didn't feel anything, he was used to it. Although the brothers are sometimes a little old-fashioned in their thinking, they still take care of his ideas very well for him.

For this homeland competition, Phoenix Five does have some ideas. He thought for a moment before he spoke: "In the previous competitions, they were divided into several different forms of competitions, and in the end, the results of these competitions were added together to get the winner. However, there is no guarantee that the participating countries have not found other people to assist, so this method is actually somewhat unfair. ”

Huang Wu's words made several other old men can't help but nod slightly.

Indeed, in these games, because they all belong to different types, the players participating in the competition are not at all the same. In fact, some people, they can't confirm whether they belong to the participating countries or not. If the participating countries bite the tongue, the contestants are from their countries, but they are just strong people from the people, and they are helpless.

However, such a situation is really difficult to avoid. After all, the rules we set are like this, and there is no such almighty person who can become the strongest person in every project. In the end, what we compare is the strength of the whole country. Huang San couldn't help but speak.

Huang Er looked at Huang San, and couldn't help but nodded, what the third brother said was right. If they could have avoided it, they wouldn't have been so entangled at this moment.

Huang Wu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and he didn't know about his brothers' concerns.

Therefore, Xiao Wu's idea is that it is better to send a team from the beginning, and they will participate in the competition from beginning to end, and it is up to this team to decide what ranking they can get in the end. Brothers, I don't know what you think? ”

"It's-"

"A team?"

Hearing Huang Wu say this, several old men couldn't help but be stunned, they hadn't thought of using such a method before.
