Chapter 164: A Good Show
National Unnamed Field, Conference Room of the Arbitration Commission.
The retro wooden structure of the conference room is densely packed with people.
The rain outside was dripping, accompanied by a few shocking lightning and thunder, which made the atmosphere in the conference room more and more solemn, the man sat on the main seat with his head, playing with the pen in his hand, and his black hair covered his eyes, but the majesty and oppression of the person who belonged to his superiors once cooled the atmosphere of the conference room to the freezing point, and the elders did not dare to speak without permission.
For so many years, this young lord has been calm and solemn, no matter what problems he faces, he seems to be calm and light, his hand is clean and sharp, and he never hesitates, he has not seen the lord in such a nervous state for a long time, and he can't help but think about it in his heart.
All the elders looked at the Great Elder, after all, the Great Elder had the most seniority, and he could speak well beside the lord.
Although the Great Elder was over seventy years old, his face was ruddy, his eyebrows were long, and his voice was loud, "Lord, this time the matter is not trivial, the prison of the Arbitration Council is strictly supervised and airtight, and it must have been prepared to rob people in this situation." ”
The rest of the elders nodded in agreement.
Lin Qiongjiu put down the pen in her hand and responded lazily, "Who do you think is going to war with the Nameless Realm?"
The elders all had their own answers, but they didn't want to speculate.
"Lord, in my opinion, this person's provocative intention is very obvious, maybe it is the remnants of country Z, or it may be the rebellion of some militants in the mercenary group" The Great Elder is not afraid of things and boldly returns.
Lin Qiongjiu's face was still indifferent, making it impossible to distinguish his thoughts.
Seeing that the lord was not yet angry, the second elder also tried to speak, "Lord, I think we don't need to be so worried, since someone has made a preemptive strike, you might as well take a look at this person's purpose." ”
The rest of the elders also echoed and spoke one by one, but the six elders and Elder Sui did not say a word, waiting to see what changed.
Lin Qiongjiu raised her eyes and glanced at the elders, and the rest of the elders didn't dare to come out.
The six elders have always been idle clouds and wild cranes, and they are the masters of the lord's wife, their status has always been stable, and they do not participate in the internal affairs of the realm, and Elder Sui is the hidden stake that Lin Qiongjiu planted in the Wudaomen in the early years.
"Let's go on, since the trial verdict, the guards will check one by one" Lin Qiongjiu's voice was piercing with a chill, and he ordered without a trace of discussion.
The Great Elder received the order, but his heart was a little relieved, in the past few years, there have been rumors that the lord is not in good health, and he is slowly detaching from the affairs of the realm, although he is worried, but fortunately, he has stabilized over the years, after all, there are not a few elders who have heard from his ears in the past few years, if the lord does not care about it, there will definitely be disputes in the future.
When the second elder saw the lord speak, he lowered his eyes and said no more.
"That's it, adjournment." Lin Qiongjiu got up, and the elders and the participants of the arbitration committee got up together.
Lin Qiongjiu hadn't stepped out of the conference room yet, but he suddenly fell headlong, and everyone didn't react to this sudden blow, but Elder Sui made a steady move and immediately supported him.
Only then did all the elders quickly step forward to ask, but they were all stopped by Elder Sui, he frowned, and said sharply, "The lord needs fresh air, don't surround it, disperse separately, I will lead the lord to heal." ”
Several elders didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only watch Elder Sui and the lord's chief steward, Liu Sheng, help the lord leave.
When they were far away, several elders stopped in the conference room and did not leave.
"Is it true that the lord" the second elder was the first to ask.
"Second child, don't speculate." The Great Elder immediately stopped, how could he not know the thoughts of the second elder.
"Big brother, looking at the appearance of the lord, his body has deteriorated over the years, and the affairs in the realm have been taken off to you and me and other brothers, it seems that it is time to persuade the lord to find a suitable successor" The four elders' eyes rolled, and their faces were already hung with hypocritical concern.
The Great Elder sighed, but he also agreed with the Fourth Elder's statement.
"Do you need to be in such a hurry" The sixth elder crossed his feet, clasped his hands, and was like a good show, "Xiao Xia and the lord have only been married for a few years, and when they have children, they can naturally inherit it, so they can use it now, so they are in a hurry to say what is in their hearts." ”
"Sixth, you" The fourth elder pointed at Elder Liu and trembled angrily, isn't this sarcasm openly and secretly aimed at him, but after thinking about it, it's useless to argue with him, this old sixth has always been the lord's faction, and now that the lord has not fallen, he naturally can't act rashly.
The Fifth Elder seemed to be quiet as if he was out of the matter, and he didn't say a word, he had always been obsessed with martial arts and detoxification, and he didn't dare to be interested in the things of fighting for fame and fortune.
"Okay, don't fight, you have your thoughts, I understand, but," the Great Elder's eyes swept over everyone, and his tone was dignified, "Don't forget, there was no Dao Gate back then, but there are still remnants of the sin that have not been eliminated, if they are allowed to gather, a vicious battle is inevitable, and now you have the leisure to support your forces here, if something really happens, who will make the overall planning"
The second elder and the fourth elder were silent.
"Back then, it was the lord who strategized, try to ask who else has such ability, now the world is peaceful, you can have your own ideas, I don't disobey, but, I hope you understand that troubles are always lurking around." The Great Elder's slow but powerful narration made the tense atmosphere just now suddenly cold.
Lin Qiongjiu's ability is well known to everyone, but after the vicious battle back then, his body is getting worse day by day.
After the Great Elder arranged the investigation, several elders dispersed one after another, leaving the Sixth Elder with a solemn face at this time.
"Sixth, staring at the fourth and second, I'm worried"
"Big brother is afraid that this incident may have something to do with them"
"Probably."
"Understood"
After the Great Elder left, the six elders' faces stopped the vigilance they had just now, but their hearts were like mirrors, they were all a group of difficult old guys to deal with.
