Chapter 191: The Demons Dance
The news of the imminent announcement of the Wing Clan's heir has apparently spread throughout the continent, and countless people with all kinds of whimsical ideas have gathered here on foot, by car, or by windwheel.
Of course, there are some old friends among them.
The first unexpected encounter for Zhou Yu was the Puxi Troupe, as the most stylish folk art group on the mainland, how could it not be present on such a "solemn" and "harmonious" occasion? That doesn't make sense. As you can imagine with the back of your head, a treacherous man like a depraved gentleman will take the opportunity to sell himself among all tribes in order to expand the scale of production and operation.
However, the Pop Joy Group disdains the wandering groups, and they don't set up a random grass platform on the corner of the road, and row up the juggler in a row with a ring of fire. Their targets are those with ID cards, such as waste ostriches, silkworms, and even the bigwigs from Tianyin City.
The next two people in place were the broken horseshoe crab and the python, as soon as he heard the news of their arrival in Butterfly City, Zhou Yu rubbed his hands happily, strangled the neck of the partridge and asked him to tell the whereabouts of the two. Poor Ma Partridge is a second monk, with a bewildered face and no preparation, and was almost strangled to death by the Metropolitan Governor.
"Hahaha, Brother Broken Horseshoe Crab. Long time no see? β
"Brother Fu Python, don't come to harm!"
"Ahaha, Brother Carney! It's really you! β
The three of them hugged each other tightly, and Zhou Yu really missed them. If there is anyone on this continent who is worth missing him, the first is Nika, who doesn't know whether it's true or not, and the two of them must be tied for second place.
"Brother Broken Horseshoe Crab, how are you doing with your grappling skills? You're not lazy, are you? β
"Haha, don't talk about it, Brother Carney. Your boxing style is so powerful that I haven't had a triad since I practiced it. This time it's really invincible all over the world. β
"The world? Unbeatable? Have you forgotten what I put you down yesterday? It's not that I'm talking about you, Broken Horseshoe Crab, but your ability to come from this mouth is getting more and more powerful. β
The python swept away the broken horseshoe crab and rolled its eyes. Zhou Yu felt funny, and punched each of them in the chest, which was regarded as relieving the broken horseshoe crab. Don't look at the excitement of the two of them, but the Governor is not worried, the two of them are wearing a pair of underwear. The more people who look amiable and respectful on the surface, the more they will stumble, make black hands, and make shady tricks behind their backs.
That reminded Zhou Yu of two things in his previous life: the first was that the newly appointed leader of the unit revised the performance appraisal scoring criteria on the first day of announcing the year-end rankings, so that the police team that was originally ranked first fell directly to the last place. Who did the number one become, you ask? Of course, it's the group that the leader brings himself.
The second thing was even earlier, when Zhou Yu was still waiting in line to join the party. Finally it was his turn, don't mention the joy, he called his mother on the phone for an hour, and the conversation a few days later made him completely cold.
Political work cadre: Hand in the form.
Zhou Yu: What watch?
Political work cadres: "Registration Form for the Investigation of Party Activists".
Zhou Yu: Didn't send it to me?
Political work cadre: Don't make trouble, hurry up and hand it over, the Political Department is urging it.
Zhou Yu: You really didn't send it to me, I didn't make trouble.
Political Work Cadre: Alas, you young man, are you too apolitical? Did you lose it? If you lose it, you just say it, and you don't send it in a roundabout way, do you want to put the responsibility on my head? I'm telling you, I've been here for twenty-five years, and I've seen a lot of people like you...
Zhou Yu: Alright, alright. I lost it, give me another one.
Political work cadre: No, this thing is one for each person, and if it is lost, it needs to be re-reported to the higher-level party organization for application. You said you just lost it, I know.
Sure enough, Zhou Yu was disqualified from joining the party in the current term, and was replaced by a newly recruited female college student behind him. Oops, I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke, Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue, he is a child of a cadre, and he picks up and sends him by car every day. Using a little means to stop yourself from driving normally is considered merciful!
"But then again, Brother Carney, what are you doing in Butterfly City? You don't know that the most dangerous place in Dubancia is here at this moment, right? "The python's mind will always be back on track a few seconds faster than the broken horseshoe crab.
"Well, I've heard of it."
Zhou Yu did not disclose more known information, and he did not want to be a leaker. Some events are better to wait for them to spread on their own, and there is no benefit in changing its course without permission.
"Then you are still licking the blood on the tip of the knife here, and even perching under the Wing Clan's waste ostrich, are you not afraid of harming the pond fish?"
The Metropolitan Governor understood what the python meant, and he was worried about himself. As long as this old guy dies, no matter which new person comes to power, he will die tragically under the joint efforts of the Zerg, the Snake Clan and the Fish Clan. Butterfly City, by that time, will really become the city of Scream, the city of blood.
"Hurt the fish in the pond? It's hard to say who the pond fish is, two dudes. Whatever you are carrying behind your backs, as brothers, I advise you both not to act rashly. Butterfly City is not so easy to get. Do you understand? At least the Zerg, Snakes, and Fishes can't gnaw. β
The broken horseshoe crab and the python glanced at each other, and their eyes were complicated. From Zhou Yu's words, they heard that the "brother" in front of them knew far more information than they had imagined. As for how he made a judgment not to act rashly, the two did not doubt him. From defeating two masters in four rounds to shedding the golden cicada at the hands of the Pop Joy Group and the Wolf Girl, Carney has always been an unusual and exquisite existence that cannot help but be questioned.
"Brother Carney, youβwhat do you mean..."
"Remove your people as far away as possible. You can't gnaw on this bone, and if you don't believe what I say, there is only one ending. β
"What, what's the end?"
The question of the broken horseshoe crab has always been very straightforward, with no definite words and adverbials.
"Labeled as a rebel by Tianyin City. Do you think, at that time, will your brother's vengeance Viper and your father-in-law's killer whale stand up for you or stand up to draw a line with you and leave you to fend for yourself? β
After a few words, the back of the broken horseshoe crab and the python was soaked with sweat. Obediently, if it weren't for Carney's reminder, they really wouldn't have imagined that the event would still have that kind of development trend. Zhou Yu flattened his mouth, those who don't know are not guilty, you can't blame you for not being able to see through, and you can't blame your eldest brother and father-in-law for being too selfish, things in the world are like this, we must keep adjusting the organizational structures and personnel around us, and keep completing the replacement and replacement of the old and the new, so that we can go a long way.
Perhaps, killer whales and vipers have known the inside story for a long time, maybe they don't. Zhou Yu is accustomed to believing that human nature is inherently evil. It's better to be prepared than to be cold.
The announcement ceremony kicked off with worldwide attention. Among the guests present was a costumed ostrich, who stood on top of the float and walked around the field with his hands held flat, and finally returned to the palace, where he sat politely in the main and secondary seats.
The person who had been sitting next to him for a long time was also an old man. His hair and beard were as white as snow, skinny but sharp-eyed, and he looked down everywhere he looked, especially his stubborn hooked nose, like a witch riding a broom. The exquisite costumes and colorful accessories he wore announced the person's noble status.
That's right, it's Cuo Ling.
Zhou Yu, dressed as a guard, stood at the end of the queue, raising his eyes from time to time to glance into the hall. Cuo Ling and the waste ostrich sat in the main seat, and the guests were seated by the silkworm, the python, the broken horseshoe crab and the one wearing a thick hat and lowering the brim. The Metropolitan Governor guessed that this person should be the representative of the dog clan, and looking at the seat arranged for him by the organizer, it should not be the patriarch Gao Otter, and it is estimated that he is a distant cousin and a relative.
Zhou Yu secretly wondered, except for the waste ostrich, are the other four clan patriarchs all fools? Knowing that Cuo Ling would attend today's announcement meeting and tomorrow's homecoming day event, he boycotted and did not attend at all, as if it had been discussed. What does Cuo Ling think? What would you think if the meeting convened by the top leader, all departments came to participate in the meeting, the three-legged cat, the duty officer, and the principal and deputy positions all found reasons to ask for leave?
No wonder Cuo Ling wants to clean up a few of you old vegetable gangs, if it was the Metropolitan Governor, he might not be able to bear it now, and he would have lifted the table and left.
But right now, a few people in the main hall are still laughing and laughing. High, really high.
Zhou Yu began to admire the fact that Cuo Ling was coming. But there are two other people he admires even more: one is the depraved gentleman who accompanies the last seat. This guy still wears that signature pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and is well-dressed and clean-eyed, and if it weren't for the people who have dealt with him, they would never guess that he is a busker.
The other was naturally the representative of the canine clan who had taken off his hat, and most of the governors glanced at him casually, almost choking on his own saliva. That man, that man is actually a silver cunning, isn't he a mercenary? Isn't it a two-five boy who works for the Xi'er family? When did you become a representative of the dog family?
The wind is loud and the ambush is on all sides.
"Lord, when the people are all together, can we begin?"
"Haha, you are the host and I are the guest, and the procedural things are naturally up to the abolition patriarch."
Cuo Ling stretched out his hand and signaled that it was all up to the landlord to arrange.
The events that followed were the same as the regular celebrations, with the Wing Clan's high priest talking incessantly, speculating that it was nothing more than singing praises and bowing to the wasted ostrich, and then the top warriors of the Wing Clan appeared in a parade of martial arts. Then it was the turn of the Puxi group to emerge, and they used the way of marquees, one by one, rows of fish from outside the tent. For a while, the whole event was set off, and all kinds of talented people appeared in an endless stream, making their debuts, dazzling and applauding.
Even Cuo Ling in the stands couldn't stop nodding, checking his eyes to the left and right, and clapping his hands from time to time.
The most crucial moment of the night came, and the performers trotted out of the main hall in a witty trot, and some of the nobles, priests, and generals who were still talking to each other just now tore their shirts and sat down in their seats. In front of everyone's eyes, the waste ostrich slowly walked to the center of the hall, and dozens of huge braziers hung around him to reflect this place as if it was daylight, but he didn't know if it was the reflection of the fire or he was really uncomfortable, Zhou Yu felt that his face was terrifyingly pale, like A4 paper.
The waste ostrich looked around, and finally shook his hands in front of Cuo Ling.
"Greetings, Lord Lord, all clansmen, warriors, and friends of the Wing Clan. First of all, on behalf of the whole Yi clan, I would like to welcome you to this very important time of the year, and it is a great honor to be able to gather with you at the most important time of the year. β
The old man cleared his throat and his eyes wandered in the field.
"As everyone knows, the old man is suffering from a serious illness and his health is deteriorating, and the position of the patriarch of the wing clan has long been intended to be inherited by the little dog. Who knew that someone actually killed the killer from behind, regardless of black and white, and unethical, and brutally killed him. β
Speaking of this, the waste ostrich paused for a moment, and his eyes stayed in the area of the three of Diao Silkworm, Broken Horseshoe Crab and Fu Python like Mai Mang. Coincidentally, the three of them faced the waste ostrich without fear and pinched their chins in unison.
Quiet, very quiet.
"Ahem, ahem! The abolition of the patriarch lost his beloved son, and we empathize with each other, and our hearts are like knives, but at present, the current situation is turbulent, internal and external troubles, and I hope that the patriarch can mourn and change and focus on the overall situation. Arranging the succession as soon as possible is the best choice! β
It was Cuo Ling who came out to break the game. Zhou Yu snorted, Okay, you old fox, at this moment, you don't let the two sides talk away, but divert the topic like a stick, making it clear that you want the two opposing forces to fight. Where is this persuasion? It is clear that it is adding fuel to the fire.
"Yes, Patriarch. I believe that your unfortunate Lord has already made up his mind and will make decisions for you when the ceremony is completed. β
A-stirring stick isn't enough, Mr. Fallen also sticks a stick.
The waste ostrich stared at Diao Silkworm viciously, and it took a long time to put away his angry eyes.
"The things of the world have a sense of proportion. The affairs of the rivers and lakes come and go. Eat my scrap ostrich, the old man will make you regret that you have such a big appetite. Take my Wing Clan's, Butterfly City will make you return it painfully and offer two palms by the way. Haha, hahaha! To get back to the point, today's priority is to announce to the Lord and the tribes the next head of the Wing Clan. β
The sound of rustling came from all directions, and the hall that was silent just now began to be lively, and people with red faces and red ears abounded. Zhou Yu flattened his mouth, what is there to talk about? It has nothing to do with you, it's all someone else's family affair. No matter who takes office, can the constitution be amended or can the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases be redressed? Neither.
"The old man asked the Lord for instructions, and passed on the position of the patriarch of the Wing Clan toββ"
Sure enough, at this time, it's time to stretch the tone, and if you don't pull it, you're sorry for the drama, lighting, and tea. The audience held their breath and stared at each other, for fear that they would miss every subtle movement and mouth shape of the waste ostrich, and wished that they would turn into moths and fly over and burrow into his throat, and listen intently to the name that vibrated from the depths of the little tongue.
"Pass it on to the dragonfly!"
Bang.
"Soft fly? Isn't it called a dragonfly? β
"Soft fly? Have you ever heard of the name Softfly? β
"No, I've never heard of it."
"The strange bee is dead, and the successor should be a soft dragonfly? What's going on, this, what's going on? β
"Alright, alright! Be quiet, please! Please be quiet! β
The scrap ostrich had to sacrifice his life and shout loudly to stop it, and only then did he barely lower the 180 decibels, which were almost about to be lifted. Rare and strange, since people said that they asked the lord, it was Cuo Ling's acquiescence, is the housekeeper a soft fly or a salamander, cricket, grasshopper, Luo Dayou? The lord agrees to be the biggest, and even if the lord pats his head and lets Urahan Yusuke take over, there should be no opposition below.
Who makes the family the top spot holder in the Dubancia continent!
"Brother Wasted, then please ask the Rou Fly Patriarch to come forward and get to know everyone, right?"
A good person walked to tea and cool, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, the waste ostrich just announced the news, Cuo Ling changed his face, the "patriarch" became the "waste ostrich brother", and a little-known mysterious woman actually carped and jumped into the dragon gate, becoming the most powerful person in the wing clan in one fell swoop. Lord Lord, what a set of face-changing magic skills.
"Good!"
