Chapter 80: The Dust Settles
"Your Highness, this is the result of the Gothech election. www.biquge.info"Now that it has been exposed, Thousand Scales Crimson did not deliberately hide his identity anymore, and handed over the result to the oath.
Although the result was predicted, Oath still frowned: "Although Ling Chen has been the city lord in Gothic for a while, I really didn't expect that a mere Gothah would let him recover so much. ”
"However, the second prince is only Gothhe who can fight with your Highness, but now His Highness's votes are still higher than that of the second prince, I think we have won the volume!"
Oath nodded: "I heard that Ling Chen seems to have looked for you when I went out to give a speech, what did he talk to you about?"
"He wants me to withdraw from the struggle for the king's election. Thousand Scales replied that he had expected the eldest prince to ask him, "Then I told him why I was still involved in the third rank, and the second prince left depressed. ”
"Don't worry, what you did for me, I saw it in my eyes, and what I promised you will definitely come true!"
Thousand Scales crimson humbly saluted towards the oath, he would not forget the threat that Ling Chen gave him, in fact, he had quietly sent someone to find him when he knew the results of the two elections, but Ling Chen asked him to do something very simple, that is, to continue to be a good staff member of the eldest prince, but if he noticed something unusual, he just pretended not to see it. In the eyes of Thousand Scales Red, Ling Chen actually has no chance of winning, at least in this election, there is no chance of winning, what he thinks about may be that Ling Chen has given up this election, and the successor to the king election still has the king to say, I am afraid that the follow-up is planning before Cao Le determines the king's choice. Thinking about it this way, it is also reassuring, and the reason why Ling Chen let himself be wrong is probably because he wants to test his heart, right?
Next is Dove, the city is actually similar to Marilla, Ling Chen has not done anything here, simply put, he also has the same hope as Marilla, but the fact does not live up to Ling Chen, Dove's votes are better than Marilla, two thousand three hundred and sixty-six votes. In comparison, Oath received about the same number of votes as Marilla, with 4,851 votes at Devos. Then it was only Snow Alder.
With anxious steps, Lin Hou pushed open the door of the Ice Blue Dream, and waited anxiously for Fei Ying in a familiar seat, and after a while, Fei Ying came to Lin Hou as promised: "You are really impatient!"
"Impatient?" Lin Hou's eyes widened and said, "Of course I'm impatient! Now the results of the four city-states have come out! Your Highness is now more than 3,000 votes short!"
"What's the hurry, at the beginning, His Highness was almost five thousand votes behind, didn't he rely on a Gothic city to chase it back?"
"But that's because His Royal Highness gained a lot of popular hearts when he was in Gothhe City, and there was the support of Zhongquan later, so there was such a result, and this is Snowal, and the reputation of the eldest prince here is not small!!"
"But don't forget, because of the recent matter of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Foreign Households, although it has not been explicitly stated, the more or less intelligent people can see that the eldest prince is indispensable, which has caused him to lose a lot of points, and the Bounty Hunters Association supported by His Highness, as well as the last magic exam, have attracted a lot of people. ”
"I know this, but according to what I know, there are still many people who support the Great Prince in Snowal. ”
"Are you worried that Your Highness will lose?"
"Of course I'm worried!" Lin Hou almost shouted: "As long as you care about the king's election, I'm afraid you will know that I am divided into His Highness's party, and I am still the backbone." If His Highness is defeated, even if the eldest prince will not do anything to His Highness in the blood of Resnot, I will not be able to escape, you must know that my father was on the wrong team in the first place, and my family fell to this!!"
Fei Ying patted Lin Hou lightly on the shoulder: "Even so, we can't do anything now!
"......" Lin Hou sighed: "What should I do, I went to His Highness's mansion before, and he also looked unflustered like you, do you really realize the seriousness of the problem?"
"I thought it had been such a long time, you should already know His Highness very well!" Fei Ying shook her head: "Since he is not in a hurry, then nine times out of ten he is confident, and since we chose him in the first place, what we have to do now is to believe in him!!"
Lin Hou could only sigh: "The population of Snowal is 300,000, and after all, it is a royal city, and the participation of the people must be much higher than that of several other cities, and I can only hope that a miracle can happen." Or maybe His Highness has already figured out a way back to deal with the next problems. ”
"Since His Highness returned from the Oak Kingdom, everything we have done has been for this election, rest assured. At least I've known His Highness for so long, he never does anything that he is not sure of, and he will do it best!"
On the square, the sun has not yet risen, but many people have been waiting in the square for a long time, and today's election will last a whole day, after all, this day has been long-awaited by them. The event officially began as the ambassadors of the court and the officials who managed the ceremonies walked to the center of the square.
The rules of the pass are actually very simple, in order not to waste too much time, the queue is divided into two pairs, one place to distribute the ballots, and then the people themselves drop the ballots into the corresponding ballot boxes.
After so many days of hard work, it is not an exaggeration to do it just for this moment, whether it is the eldest prince or Ling Chen, this day they have put down what they are doing and come to the officialdom to look at the grand occasion in front of them.
Every ballot has a count, it will be updated in less than half an hour, half a day has passed in a blink of an eye, in fact, the situation can probably be seen from the situation in the queue, Lin Hou walked in front of Ling Chen, his face was still different from the anxious at the beginning, it seemed that he had broken the can: "Your Highness, the current situation, in Snowal, you have obtained four thousand three hundred and ninety-six votes in this half a day." ”
It's only been half a day, and it seems that the enthusiasm of the people here is much higher than that of other cities. Four thousand three hundred and ninety-six, this is higher than the number of votes he has had in other cities for a whole day! Ling Chen looked at Lin Hou and didn't ask yet.
"The Great Prince currently has seven thousand and thirty-two votes. ”
"Poof!" Ling Chen didn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud, this guy is really loved by people, so many things recently, it seems that the impact on it is not very big, no, no, the impact is already great, but the enemy is too strong.
"Your Highness?"
"Now that the overall situation has been decided, then we will act according to the plan!" Ling Chen patted Lin Hou on the shoulder: "Be enthusiastic, it's best for people all over the world to see it." With that, he left the square.
"Yes!"
After a short pause, the afternoon polls resumed, which continued until the sun went down. However, judging from the results of the morning and the votes of the other city-states of the day, there is no doubt that Oath will become the chosen prince of the people.
Ling Chen left the square and did not return to his residence, but came to the outside of the city, to the barracks of the Order Legion. Although he is no longer the legion commander here, but after so many years of being here, many soldiers still know him, and without any hindrance, Ling Chen came to the camp of the legion commander of the Order Legion.
"Your Highness, today is your most important election, don't you want to take a look?"
Ling Chen said indifferently: "Just came from the square." But when the dust settles, it's unbearable. ”
"Are you sure you've won?" Yuqi said, "Or have you given up resisting?"
Ling Chen took a sip of hot tea, although Lu Feier's tea skills were becoming more and more exquisite, but Ling Chen still liked the coarse tea in this military camp, and did not respond to Yuqi's words.
Yuqi is not strange, he and Ling Chen have also played since childhood, and they still know this guy's temper: "You came here, didn't you come here to drink tea?"
Ling Chen looked at Yuqi: "What do you think Liufeng would do if he was here now?"
Yuqi did next to Ling Chen: "Whether it's brother or sister, they will definitely try their best to make plans to put you on the throne, right!?"
Ling Chen nodded, and shook his head again: "I'm afraid that Liufeng will be like this, but Yuliu will definitely try to dissuade me from participating in it, after all, my enemy is too strong." I'm afraid she'll stand on the side of Oath to stop me. ”
"It's really my sister's style!" Yuqi smiled noncommittally.
"Will you help me?"
Yuqi's face stiffened: "Your Highness, as the leader of the Order Legion, the iron rule of the Order Legion is order, I will not break any of the rules of the Order Legion because of you, I hope you can understand." I suppose that's why you asked me to accept your Order Legion in the first place, right?"
"That's true. However, the things I want you to help me with are actually not very related to the Order Legion. Instead, please help me in your private name!"
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Ling Chen took out a stack of ballots from his arms: "Call your friends and help me cast a few votes." ”
Yuqi did smile: "Your Highness, maybe you didn't notice it, I had already voted for you in the morning, and if I voted again, I am afraid that even the previous vote will be invalidated." ”
Ling Chen nodded, but he had arrived at the square early in the morning, so he naturally noticed Yuqi, and naturally knew that she had already voted for herself: "I didn't say, let you vote for me." ”
The voting was in full swing, and suddenly a group of people walked to the center of the officialdom. It immediately attracted people's attention, and the leader was Lin Hou. And behind Lin Hou are many officials who have already expressed their willingness to support Ling Chen.
Lin Hou stepped forward with the team, put the ballot in the box of the oath, turned around and said to the people around him: "Everyone, whether it is His Royal Highness the Oath or His Royal Highness Ling Chen, they are all princes of Resnot, His Highness Ling Chen does not want to destroy his relationship with His Highness the Oath because of this battle, no matter who becomes our prince in the future, it will bring the supreme glory and supreme happiness of the Resnot people." For His Highness, whoever is the king is the same. Therefore, I was ordered to vote for His Highness Sworn Fall to show His Highness Ling Chen's respect for His Highness Sworn Fall. ”
Oath frowned slightly, and then smiled with relief: "This guy is willing to please me in the end." It seems that the result has been basically decided, and I am afraid that I will blame him afterwards, right?"
"The struggle for the election of the king has been very tragic in the past dynasties, I am afraid that the reason why His Highness Ling Chen supports the election so strongly this time is to calm down the struggle between your brothers in this way. ”
Oath nodded, "Then why did he get involved in the first place?"
"After all, it's the throne, which prince can really resist the temptation, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Ling Chen just feels that he has such a rare opportunity, and if he doesn't work hard once, I'm really a little sorry, my identity." Chiba explained.
"Didn't you keep reminding me to be careful of Ling Chen, why did you suddenly start talking to him?"
"I reminded Your Highness before, it's because you have a hostile relationship with His Highness Ling Chen, and now that he has taken the initiative to be kind to you, I know that Your Highness has always paid attention to brotherhood......
"Haha, you can understand!" Swear said happily: "Ling Chen is like this, you go, take our people to vote for Ling Chen, don't let his votes be too ugly!"
