Chapter 149: The Inner Struggle Before the Announcement

() After breakfast the next day, Ye Fei and the others came to the martial arts arena, because the announced time would be held close to noon, so they were not particularly anxious.

The martial arts arena is located in the center of Jiuyue City, with an area of 500 meters, and there is a high platform of 50 meters long, 10 meters wide and 2 meters high on the north side of the martial arts arena.

In addition to this rectangular platform, there are also a number of circular platforms around the venue, which were used for martial arts competitions in the past, and are now decorated by the staff and provided to the personnel of other families in Nine Moon City.

When Ye Fei and the others came to the martial arts arena, the people from the City Lord's Mansion had not yet arrived, only some other families who came early were here, and the others were citizens in the city, this was a matter of importance to Jiuyue City, and it was very important for every citizen of Jiuyue City, so they were very close to each other, and they came here early, hoping to have a good position.

After Lu Shan led the people of the mercenary group here, he was led by the staff here to a high platform prepared for them, and it was also close to the rostrum.

When Lu Shan and the others walked to the high platform, the citizens of Jiuyue City and some nobles were shocked, these people had never seen Lu Shan and them, and thought that these people were also here to join in the fun, but they didn't expect to go up to the high platform, looking at the expressions of the staff, they still respected them very much.

"Well, I said, who are these people? Why haven't you seen them? Why are they still on the high platform. ”

"I don't know, but I guess I was invited by the lord of the castle. Since they can go to the high stage, they are obviously amazing characters, you better be careful when you speak, otherwise you will lose your life and it will be over. ”

"I don't think much of it, but if you look at the clothes they wear, why do I think they look like the clothes worn by mercenaries?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen any mercenary with such ability, what kind of occasion is this, can you casually let those mercenaries come to power? If there is, it has to be the first mercenary regiment in our Nine Moon City, the Penalty Mercenary Group, how can it be them?"

The nobles who came early were also full of doubts. I don't know who Lushan they are. If it was a nobleman, they should all know each other, thinking about whether to go over to say hello, but they didn't know how to say it. I have to discuss it below.

After sitting down on a high platform. Xiaohu spotted the gaze of these people. said to Lu Shan: "Commander, look at the eyes of these people, it seems that they treat us as monsters. ”

Lu Shan smiled and said, "I guess they are curious about us because they haven't seen us." Don't worry about that, just watch here. When everyone heard Lu Shan say this, they stopped talking.

didn't let everyone wait too long, the people on the martial arts field were full, everyone was talking about today's city lord election meeting, and they were all guessing who the next city lord candidate would be, of course, these people also have their own supporters, as long as their choice is correct, then they will soar, if the choice is wrong, then ...... , which is also a test for them.

The soldiers of the Nine Moon City Guards began to enter the venue and stood around the field, first, to maintain order among these citizens. The other is also to prevent anything unexpected from happening during this time.

At this time, an old man about fifty years old walked up on the rostrum and looked at the people in the venue, and then shouted out with a fighting spirit, so that everyone could hear: "Everyone, be quiet, because our city lord has worked hard for our Jiuyue City all his life, and now His Majesty has agreed that the city lord can enjoy his old age in peace, so the city lord wants to do one more thing for you at the last moment, that is, to choose the next city lord for everyone, now let's invite the city lord." The old man looked backstage.

Xia Yong took his three sons to the rostrum in turn, behind him were Xia Linhu, Xia Linzhi, and finally Xia Linfeng, the four of them walked to the middle of the rostrum, Xia Yong sat on the chair in the middle, and his three sons sat on both sides of him.

When Xia Linfeng came up from the stage, he glanced at the martial arts arena and found Ye Fei and them, nodded very friendly, and said hello, Ye Fei just smiled in return, and did not make any other moves.

When everyone sat down, Xia Yong stood up and walked to the front of the rostrum, first glanced at everyone, and then said: "Let everyone wait for a long time, the old man is very ashamed, people are useless when they are old, they have been busy all their lives, I also want to rest, thank you very much for coming here today." Saying that, Xia Yong bowed to everyone.

Everyone in the audience said, "The city lord is polite." ”

Xia Yong continued: "Since this is the case, I will stop talking nonsense, in fact, I am very sad today, because I don't know how to choose, my three sons are all excellent to me, choose any of them, I will feel sorry for the other two, but for the sake of Nine Moon City, for the sake of Nine Moon City, I must choose a person who can convince everyone and can do things for everyone." ”

"I already have a candidate in mind, and I've been watching him for some time. Xia Yong said.

When Xia Linhu heard this, his face became a little ugly, he didn't know who Xia Yong was talking about, could it be himself? Could it be that all these things he did were known to his father? Xia Linzhi's thoughts in his heart were similar to Xia Linhu's, while Xia Linfeng did not change, and he still had a consistent smile on his face.

Xia Yong said that he looked at his three sons here, and did not stay on any of them for a long time, not knowing whether he was afraid that others would see something, or if he had other ideas.

The citizens in the audience are also wide-eyed, hoping to see with their own eyes who the next city lord is, among them there are some foreign merchants, they are also looking forward to it, because their future business is good or not, they will have a more or less relationship with this city lord, so they also hope to be able to see the next city lord for the first time, fortunately, it can be more convenient in the future.

Those nobles are also looking forward to it, in fact, they all have a relationship with the three young masters, and the three young masters have their support behind them, if the young master in their minds can become the city lord, then their own family can suppress the other families.

Of course, in addition to these citizens and nobles, there are also the most important and indispensable people here, that is, these soldiers, to be precise, these armies, the three young masters have communicated with these armies before, the city lord announced that it is one aspect, and the support of these troops is another, even if the city lord announces, if there is no one to support, then this city lord will not be able to sit in prison, the three young masters are very clear about these things, so they have done a good job in advance.

Ye Fei and Lu Shan also moved their eyes to the rostrum, although they had nothing to do with them now, they still cared about these things.

Now waiting for the city lord to announce, Xia Yong looked around again, took a deep breath and said, "I announce that the candidate for the next city lord is ......" (to be continued......)
