Episode 34 Battle (2)
As expected, the person who said this was Bai Zhan, the patriarch of the Bai clan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info As a cultivator, this person has lived for more than a hundred years, but he has a childish face, a ruddy face, and smooth skin like a baby. It is rumored that this person has been cultivating the way of collecting yin and replenishing yang, so that he will maintain his youth forever. When Linda saw this person's appearance and thought of those dirty things, he couldn't help but feel a deep disgust.
"It turned out to be Patriarch Bai! Didn't Patriarch Bai say that his legs and feet are inconvenient? I originally planned to come to the door to offer condolences in person after the meeting, but I didn't expect you to be able to participate in this council in person, it's really hard. Bai Yu's words were true, but they were particularly harsh to others, and anyone could hear the irony in his words.
As soon as Bai Yu's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the officials. Some people who had long been unaccustomed to seeing Bai Zhan secretly applauded, some people exchanged heads, and some people were pale and silent, each with different mentalities, and a storm was brewing in the venue.
When Bai Zhan heard Bai Yu's words, he was immediately extremely unhappy in his heart. As the nominal highest elder of the Bai clan, Bai Yu in the past, as a clansman, even if he had a special status, he always had a slightly promising attitude in front of him. Unexpectedly, after only more than two years of not seeing him, Bai Yu dared to publicly ridicule him, which made him a little unable to get off the stage after sitting firmly on the throne, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.
He pondered for a while, and then said: "Yu'er, the old man thinks that Patriarch Wei's opinion is absolutely undesirable! As the monarch of the Jiapu Kingdom, the Black Wind King is in charge of military and political power, and his power is many times stronger than that of a mere white tribe of ours! If we confront the white tribe, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and there is absolutely no certainty of victory! Wouldn't it be better to adopt a compromise attitude, make compromises, and find a way to preserve ourselves than to pay heavy casualties?"
Hearing this, Wei Jun immediately snorted coldly, his face showing disdain. And many of the hundreds of officials below suddenly nodded in agreement, and a few people even applauded loudly, faintly opposite the other group of people who supported the main battle just now. The two of them just said a few words, and they immediately distinguished the main battle and the main peace faction in the main hall.
Lin Da noticed on the side that Bai Yu did not show a dissatisfied expression towards Bai Zhan's words just now, but he found that when Bai Yu called Bai Zhan Yu'er instead of His Royal Highness, there was a trace of displeasure on his calm face, although this expression was only fleeting, but at this moment it was seen by Lin Da. At this time, the thoughts and attitudes in Bai Yu's heart were finally completely discovered by Linda.
"Oh, Patriarch Bai thinks we shouldn't resist, so what should we do?" Bai Yu didn't disagree with Bai Zhan's point of view, but deliberately asked.
Seeing Bai Yu asking, Bai Zhan thought that Bai Yu had succumbed to himself, and couldn't help but gradually become proud, so he said magnificently: "Hehehe! Yu'er, you have a good question! The old man will tell you about it! As we all know, at present, under the leadership of the Black Wind King, our Jiapu Kingdom is facing an unprecedented period of great revival. Our national strength is growing day by day, our army is growing, and we have won one victory after another in foreign wars. It is said that the Black Wind King may develop into the Aoyang Ocean in the next step, and the primary goal is the Fish-Man Sea! This is a great thing to strengthen the prestige of our country! The Black Wind King has ruled this country for several years, and I don't know how many remarkable achievements he has achieved! These are all facts in front of him! Everyone, you should be proud of this!
Bai Zhan's mouth was splashing with his mouth, and he didn't pay any attention to the stunned audience around him, paused slightly, and then continued: "Although we Baibu do not belong to the direct rule of the Black Wind King, no matter what, we are all from the Jiapu country! As long as we are from the Jiapu country, we should consciously unite and unite under a wise leader! The glory of the Jiapu country belongs to every Jiapu people! We should not have any tribal division, but should establish the consciousness of a collective, a country, and a king, and truly unite!"
"As the old man can see, instead of paying a heavy price to confront the king's army, it is better to willingly accept the rule of the Black Wind King and let us return to the big family of Kopo Kingdom. Everyone, please believe the old man's words, accept the advice of the Black Wind King, reorganize the tribe, and merge into the royal department, this will never harm the interests of all of us, but can allow us to truly unite in the big family of Jiapu Country, be real Jiapu people, and enjoy the infinite benefits brought by a great Jiapu country!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opinion of the old man! Do you choose a stupid battle or a glorious return? I believe you should have a clear answer in your hearts!"
Hearing Bai Zhan's words, everyone was speechless. Linda was even more secretly surprised in her heart, thinking that if this person lived on earth, he must be a very good politician. But although his words are beautiful, they often oppress people with righteousness, but in fact they are just a means to deceive people's minds, and anyone who is a little sensible can refute him.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the patriarch of the Yao clan, Pan Sheng, suddenly slapped the case and said angrily: "Bullshit!
"Patriarch Pan, what do you think?!Do you think that what the old man said is wrong? I don't want to admit that I am from Jiapu Country?" Bai Zhan glanced at Pan Sheng and asked in a strange voice, the expression on his face was extremely indifferent.
"Hmph! Don't use the righteousness of the Jiapu country to press me! The old man doesn't believe this! I only know that the old man has been a Yao people for generations, living in the land of the Yao people, honestly working and cultivating on his own land, and has never plundered other people's land and wealth, and before the establishment of the Jiapu country, this is how our Yao people lived! I only know that if we agree to Laixima's conditions, then we will lose our land forever and everything we have now! I will never agree!" Pan Sheng shouted excitedly.
Bai Zhan was quite disdainful of Pan Sheng's words, and said: "Oh? It turns out that Patriarch Pan is reluctant to give up the benefits of your one-third of an acre of land, so he chose to confront the Black Wind King? But the old man asked you, do you want to take everything from our three clans for the sake of your own benefit? May I ask Patriarch Pan, if you want to rebel against the Black Wind King, then why do you fight against the Black Wind King's army? You know that fighting is a death story, right? If we really tear our faces with the Black Wind King and cause him to launch an all-out attack on us in a fit of rage, then what should we do? Do you know how many of the children of the three tribes will die as a result of this decision? Are you willing to watch your Yao children die in this senseless conflict?"
Not to mention what Bai Zhan's real purpose is, his more righteous and awe-inspiring words immediately won the approval of many people. He kept saying that he wanted to accept the conditions of the Black Wind King, in order to protect the three clans and prevent the people of the three clans from shedding blood and sacrifice in vain, and these seemingly sincere words really won the hearts of many people.
When Linda heard this, she was secretly surprised in her heart. Putting aside the position of being the enemy of this person, this person's mouth full of benevolence and morality can be shamelessly performed to this extent, which can be regarded as the ultimate black.
Sure enough, Pan Sheng, who has always been upright-tempered, heard this, and immediately became angry, he has always been not good at words, and in a moment of anger, he didn't know how to refute Bai Zhan, so he could only sit in place and stare angrily.
Wei Jun on the side saw that Pansheng was speechless, and finally couldn't help but say: "Retract your surrender remarks! No matter what? We, the Zhuang people, will never agree to surrender! We must resolutely defend our homeland! Fight to the death with Laixima!"
Bai Zhan listened to this and sneered: "Hehe, Patriarch Wei, you finally can't help it! But what you said is a bit too much, isn't it? If you want to send you to death, why do you want to pull the rest of your clan? Not to mention that you, the patriarch, can represent the opinions of all the people of your clan? If you Zhuang people don't support your willful actions, can you still stick to the decision to fight the main battle?"
Hearing this, Wei Jun was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the more than twenty Zhuang clan elders below, and sure enough, nearly half of them dodged with him, not daring to look at him. Needless to say, I also know that these people should have been bought by Bai Zhan a long time ago and became a faction that supports the Lord and He.
Wei Jun was furious in his heart, these elders who were supposed to stand on the same side as him actually colluded with others behind his back, which suddenly made him feel deceived.
However, Wei Jun was not willing to be persuaded by the other party in this way, he sneered, ignoring the traitors of his own clan for the time being, but retorted to Bai Zhan: "You keep saying that our main battle is to send us to death?! Do you think that we don't have the ability to fight with Laixima?"
"Of course not. Bai Zhan said disdainfully: "Let's let the old man calculate the accounts for you!" All the monks in the Bai Department add up, but there are only more than 8,000 people, among which there are only half of the martial cultivators who can really fight, and there are only more than 200 realm monks among them, with this strength alone, do you think you can compete with the Black Wind King?!"
"Not to mention that the Black Wind King can mobilize the monks of the other four major island tribes to conquer us, just with the tens of thousands of troops in his hands, it is enough to wipe out our Bai Ministry! Not to mention that the Black Wind King himself is still an infant realm monk, if he doesn't make a move, if he really wants to make a move, who of us can resist it?!" Speaking of this, Bai Zhan also deliberately glanced at Bai Yu, obviously showing his disdain for Bai Yu's strength.
Everyone listened to Bai Zhan's words about the comparison of the forces of the enemy and us, and immediately discussed. I have to say that Bai Zhan's words also have a certain truth, since ancient times, the war is compared to the strength of the two sides, the Black Wind King has tens of thousands of troops, and the troops of the White Department are less than 10,000 people, the difference in strength between the two sides is so big, once it is carried out, the victory or defeat can naturally be easily seen.
At this time, even some people on the side of the main battle wavered, and some people who were originally neutral also felt that their side had little chance of winning, and began to want to lean towards peace, and those who originally insisted on the main peace were even more excited, and they talked a lot below, as if they were trying to prove that they were right from the beginning.
And Bai Zhan's next words surprised Wei Jun and the others even more.
"Hmph! In short, choosing to fight hard with the Black Wind King is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and there is absolutely no possibility of winning! In fact, there are actually many people who understand this truth. Among the elders, there must be quite a few people who support peace, right? Among our three tribes, peace-loving people still account for the majority! Only a few people do not hesitate to risk the entire tribe in order to safeguard their own interests, and if they fail, no, this will definitely fail! We will have nothing! We will lose everything! Therefore, according to the old man's words, only by living in peace can there be a way out!
As soon as these words came out, some of the elders immediately echoed loudly, and many of them nodded yes and expressed their support, among these people there were not only the elders of the Bai clan, but also many elders of the Zhuang and Yao clans, and the number of them accounted for more than half of all the elders. Bai Zhan is worthy of being an old fox, and his remarks just now have won over most of his supporters!
Seeing the noisy elders below, Wei Jun and Pan Sheng were helpless, but they didn't know how to refute. Bai Yu's face frowned slightly, she didn't expect that so many people would support the peace. Although she has the heart to fight with Lai Xima, if she doesn't get internal support, even if she pushes it strongly, the chances of winning are not great.
At this time, a transmission sound came into her ears from below, which suddenly made Bai Yu's eyes light up. She looked at Linda below in surprise, and when she saw the affirmative expression on Linda's face, she was silent for a moment, revealing a hint of hesitation.
After a while, Bai Yu suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone in the venue to be quiet, and said: "Okay! Everyone be quiet first! Whether it is war or peace, this is related to the life and death of our Bai Ministry, and we must not jump to conclusions! Adjourn the meeting for a while, Rong Benza should think about it!"
After saying that, Bai Yu didn't care what the others said, and left the table directly, leaving the elders who were still arguing and watching, and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
At this time, Linda also quietly left his seat and followed behind, and with his hidden supernatural powers, no one noticed his departure.
