The three major clans of the dragon clan entered the hidden forest, turned over a small col covered with coniferous forests, and saw the Luohong River, which lies between two mountain ranges, looking up along the river valley, and the glacier that accumulated in front of the snow peak is the source of the river.

The relatively gentle terrain of the river is more than ten kilometers, the banks are covered with pebbles of different colors, a touch of verdant towers on the riverbank, most of which are dry and thick pine trees, it takes two people to hold hands to fully hold, it is really a fine wood, this forest is backed by a cliff, when the cliff witnesses this scene in front of him, somehow suddenly excited.

After everyone walked through the forest to the foot of the mountain, Pi Chen hurriedly asked why.

Jaircliff pulled the tripod of the rangefinder, pointed to a rock wall that was recessed inward, and explained: "The terrain here is very suitable for building an open-pit quarry, just use a small amount of ** to blast a gap in the stone, and then gather a large number of people to mine the sand and gravel material for construction." ”

"That's a good idea, so I'm going to ask Lord Colorful for advice. Pi Chen nodded in agreement, and ordered the entourage to tie up the ** they brought.

"It belongs to the internal affairs of our dragon clan, why bother to ask him? When the time comes, you can just listen to my countdown after you fill the ** in the stone cracks. Jianya took out *** and used a wire to wrap half a circle around it, and when he was almost tied, he was stopped by Pu Bi, who was leaning against the tree, in a loud voice.

"You are too careless, such a major matter has not been discussed with other clans, how can we make decisions on our own? even if we think about the future of the whole clan, we can't cut it first and then play it!" Pu Bi touched his upper lip indifferently, "Besides, there is another person here who has a similar opinion to me. Then he turned to the canopy, "Aren't you coming out yet?"

A man in a green shirt jumped from a tree and fell to the ground, took off his hat and saluted: "The Fox Clan-Fox Xin Ginseng!"

Pi Chen and Jairian looked at each other, and then Pi Chen took the lead in speaking: "Ahem, when did you start following us?"

"I've been at the end of the line!, otherwise?" Xin Xin suppressed his smile and said sharply, "I hereby advise you to dispel the idea of digging a quarry as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Give me a reason!" Jairwood took a step forward.

"You're not just digging a few rocks to bring back, you're digging the mountains and quarrying them, and blind mining will eventually lead to a series of serious environmental problems such as vegetation destruction, soil erosion, and damage to natural landscapes. Xin Xin turned the wide-brimmed hat with his index finger, "The Hidden Forest Mountain is located in the upper reaches of the Luohong River, and if the soil structure is destroyed, it will inevitably exacerbate soil erosion, and a large amount of waste will definitely pollute the only water source that our dragon clan depends on for survival." ”

"What you say is true, but the Luohong River is a glacier. ”

"Sooner or later, the glacier will thaw, and we cannot only focus on the immediate development at the expense of the long-term interests of future generations. ”

"Then where should we go to find the materials to build the Dragon Palace?" Jairwood shook his head and sighed.

"It's not easy, the Nether has an inexhaustible supply of natural resources, and the knowledge of human beings in construction is far better than ours. Xin Xin shook his hat and gradually looked away, "I just want to ask you, can you bear to destroy the shelter that my clan has managed to find?"

Seeing that Jairwood was silent, Pu Bi patted him on the shoulder neatly and walked forward.

As far as the eye can see, the clouds fill the river, as if wiping away the tears of the princess, and the snowflakes on the tops of the trees are the folds of her dress, and her beauty can only be fully displayed in the venue surrounded by mountains.

In order not to disturb the "princess" who danced because of homesickness, Jianya secretly hid the ****, ordered the Pixiu clan to withdraw **, and after lingering on the beautiful scenery of the Luohong River, he followed everyone back to Tianzhao City.

Along the way, Jianya was very ashamed and didn't dare to talk to Pu Bi and Xin Xin, who were very happy with each other, until the other party noticed his abnormality and took the initiative to stop.

"By the way, I almost forgot to remind you that we will hold a night meeting in the central square of Tianzhao City later to discuss the election of a successor clan leader, and if you can be chosen, you will also fulfill your vows. ”

Hearing Xin Xin say this, Jairwood's superfluous worries disappeared, but the democratic system of his own clan reminded him of the king of the dragon clan, Yin Yin.

Legend has it that at the beginning of the construction of the Qishui Dragon Palace, in order to commemorate the nine heroes who had contributed to the Dragon Clan, Yin Yin divided all the clansmen into nine clans, and cast nine statues outside the Dragon Palace, regarding the stone dragon sage as the guardian of the Dragon Palace, so he was highly respected by the clan.

For this reason, he drew on the political experience of Ziyun State and created the patriarchal system, the main characteristics of which were: the separation of powers between the king, the council of patriarchs, and the Holy Inquisition, and mutual checks and balances.

The king is ****, in charge of and coordinating the affairs of the clan, the Holy Inquisition is composed of the elders of the dragon clan, and has the right to reject the king's bills that do not conform to the will of the people, and the patriarch council is the spokesperson of the majority of the dragon people.

It's a pity that less than a year and a half after the system was implemented, King Linyun launched a war, broke into the Qishui Dragon Palace, destroyed the nine stone dragon statues, and even the Nine Stone Dragon Array could not stop him from taking away the Dreadnought Sword.

Although the nine patriarchs have been sacrificed, the system they worked so hard to create must be preserved, otherwise the dragon clan will not be able to talk about the revival of the dragon clan, and those old and young people will not understand the ambition of the dragon at all, and there is no need to emphasize the debt to the conservatives when the meeting is held.

The actions of the Yang are not much different from what the cliff thinks, after thanking the Shuo Ming who gave them a new home, the election ceremony began, each clan first went to the hidden tree, received the "cardboard" that symbolized the ballot, wrote down the suitable candidates in their minds with a pen, and then put them into the ballot box, because the positions of the nine patriarchs are all vacant, each clan needs to elect the majority of the approved people, among which the three clan chiefs of Jairus, Pixiu, and Pu Lao have already been decided, and Jianya, Pichen, and Pu Bi can be elected with full votes, and Yang Yang is even more important as the decision-maker of the dragon clan's move to Yingxing.

The competition for the position of the remaining five patriarchs was fierce, but Xin Xin, who proposed that everyone temporarily live in a human residence, quickly stood out and was elected as the patriarch of the Fox clan with a high vote, as for the three major clans of tourmaline, raccoon and gluttony, there was little interaction with other clans, and they made a lot of efforts in the process of clan migration, and the final winner did not cause much controversy.

The only surprise was the Owltail Clan, where the highest vote-getter was shouted by a white-haired man.

"This person is an undercover agent of the Holy Inquisition, don't choose him!"

"Who are you? Don't you know that the results of the ballot cannot be changed?"

"Here's the proof!" the white-haired man said his name, quickly moving to the Chosen One, pulling up his black cuffs.

The blue dragon pattern was revealed on the man's left arm, and the man saw that his identity was exposed, and he slapped the other party to the ground, and then turned into a violent force to bounce everyone away, but fortunately, the white-haired man had already prepared and dismantled a few moves with the other party with his bare hands.

Seeing that the white-haired man was not left behind, the man knew that he should evacuate as soon as possible, so he sprinkled a puff of smoke powder in his coat pocket to everyone, and when the smoke cleared, he had already transmitted the sound through the air and disappeared.

"I am the elder of the Dragon Clan, Long Hibiscus, the Holy Inquisition has not approved the election of the patriarch, your actions today will be invalid in our eyes, you must lead the clan back to the Bright Star one day, otherwise you will be the enemy of the Holy Inquisition. ”

Qingtai dragon pattern - the symbol of the Holy Inquisition, every patriarch has such a symbol. It's really a hundred secrets, they are still being targeted by conservatives, when they leave the Bright Star Tribe, Jaira should have thought that things are not so simple, the death of King Yin Yin announced that the level of maintaining the patriarch system has been broken, the balance has been broken, and the dragon clan civil strife will happen sooner or later.

Yan Yang, who got up with the support of the white-haired man, was also in a heavy mood, and the patriarchal election meeting that he had been looking forward to was facing twists and turns due to the opposition of the Holy Inquisition. But for the sake of his people, he will never give up.

"Thanks to your help, tell me how you learned he was from the Holy Inquisition?"

The white-haired man patted the smoke and dust around him, and said with a smile: "It's just a very simple logical reasoning, that person's appearance is the oldest in the Owl Tail Clan, and he will soon become the old immortal of the Holy Inquisition." ”

Yang Yang Xin said: You are full of gray hair, and you look old, and the lifespan of the dragon clan is three times that of humans, so it seems that it will not work to judge human beings. But he was too embarrassed to expose it, so he had to listen.

"When each of us was working, we would roll up the cuffs of our hands when we couldn't stand the heat, but the man was thickly dressed, but he always picked dirty, tiring, and heavy work to do, and I guessed that he must have wanted to gain the approval of his clan so that he could run for the position of patriarch. ”

"Then do you want to be the patriarch?" took out the ten ballots of the Owltail Clan from the ballot box, and found that except for one that read "Ouyou", the remaining nine were written "Dragon Hibiscus".

"I wrote that one. Yu You smiled awkwardly, and turned to the eight clansmen behind him with a cold snort, "Let you not choose me!"

"Okay! Anyway, this matter is over, for the sake of you helping us resolve the crisis, you will be the patriarch of the Owltail Clan. He looked at the seven elected patriarchs in the audience, "Do you agree?"

Jaira frowned and spread her hands: "You told me everything I thought, what else can I do?"

Pi Chen excitedly stepped forward to hold Ou You and introduced himself to him.

Pu Bi stroked the ends of his hair and looked very calm: "I think it's better to be cautious, do you want to vote again?"

"Forget it! if you still waste time on this, will the Dragon Palace still be built?" Xin Xin knocked Pu Bi's head angrily.

Seeing this, the patriarchs of the three major clans of Tourmaline, Raccoon, and Gluttony hurriedly said in unison: "We have no opinion. ”

After Yan Yang finished his concluding speech and announced the dismissal of the meeting, he patted his face vigorously, feeling like he was in a dream.

He didn't have any experience to draw on, he had left a bad impression on his fellow clansmen because he was too lazy to work, and it was not so easy to change the opinions of others, and if he had the chance, he would have to do something earth-shattering.

Shuo Ming saw that Yu You hadn't left for a long time, so he guessed one or two, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to the four patriarchs walking side by side in front of him - Jianya, Pi Chen, Pu Bi, and Xin Xin: "It doesn't matter, as long as you communicate with them more, you will definitely find your own path." ”

"Actually, I already knew that the man was not from the Owl Tail Clan, because he didn't have the surname Owl. ”

"Oh, then why didn't you pierce it sooner?" Shuo Ming looked at the sky.

"I just hope that the Holy Inquisition will understand us. He smiled helplessly, "Now it seems that they are all useless luck." ”

The light of the stars shines through the dim clouds, and the people who go forward bathe in it one by one.
