Chapter 137: The Pattern of Huaiqing County
Yan Lingyu followed Liu Weishi all the way to the east, and after turning a few streets, they arrived at their destination.
Through conversation, Yan Lingyu learned the real reason why Liu Weishi invited him, it turned out that the Liu family was a "reformist", and they supported the county government to abolish the quota allocation system and change it to the form of who is stronger.
However, the other three families in Qingyang Town did not agree to do so, among the three, the Li and Lin families were staunch conservatives, and the Wang family belonged to the centrists, and their attitude was not very clear, but they were slightly biased towards conservatives.
Li and Lin believe that if they change to the way of competing for places, Qingyang Town will be more and more unable to get the qualification to enter the tower, and their juniors will also lose the opportunity to improve.
Due to the differences in "political opinions", the Liu family and the Li Lin family will have some friction from time to time, on the surface this is a dispute between the ideas of different families, but in fact it is a competition between two political forces in Huaiqing County.
Because Huaiqing County is at the bottom of every national military debate, Pan Shaozhong, the current county guard of Huaiqing County, is already in danger of being recalled.
As soon as Pan Shaozhong left, he naturally vacated a position as a county guard, so many people were laying out in advance and staring at Pan Shaozhong's seat.
Among the many "tiger wolves", the most promising to take over the position of the county guard is Tian Hongxun, the lord of Feifeng City, which is the second largest city in Huaiqing County after Huiyue City.
At present, nearly half of the 11 cities in Huaiqing County support Tian Hongxun openly or behind the scenes, and there is a trend of continuing to expand.
Among the four major families in Qingshan Town, the Li Lin family is the supporters of Tian Hongxun, the Wang family is still swinging, and the Liu family is the supporter of the current county guard Pan Shaozhong.
Everyone represents the political group behind them, in fact, places like Qingshan Town usually do not participate in the struggle for power at the upper level, and now they are doing this in order to grab enough benefits for themselves when Huaiqing County is changing.
In order to keep his black hat, Pan Shaozhong did not hesitate to implement the new policy in the face of many opposition, trying to make Huaiqing County stronger, and abolishing the quota distribution system of the martial arts tower is one of the policies in the new policy.
And his biggest opponent, Tian Hongxun, naturally grabbed the most oppositional clauses in the new policy to canvass for himself, such as the current county guard wants to abolish the martial arts tower quota allocation system, then you can support me, and I promise to continue to maintain this policy after taking office.
After a bunch of slogans were shouted, the effect was still very good, and many influential families and forces in Huaiqing County expressed their support for Tian Hongxun, some of them sincerely supported him, and some of them received Tian Hongxun's benefits.
Many small places like Qingshan Town were shouting for Tian Hongxun, and even if there was no benefit, they were unswervingly supporting him, because these places had not had a local heaven to enter the tower to cultivate for several years.
In the context of Pan Shaozhong's implementation of the new policy, a large number of quotas in the marginal areas have been snatched away by foreign youths like Yan Lingyu, and the current quota allocation system has long since existed in name only.
This year is an extremely important year for Pan Shaozhong, if Huaiqing County is still at the bottom of the national martial arts this year, then he will definitely be deposed.
After he leaves, the royal family will send envoys to Huaiqing County to inspect, and Tian Hongxun has the highest voice in the polls, and he will be the new county guard.
There is even gossip that Tian Hongxun has already made a good relationship with the royal family, and now he is only waiting for Pan Shaozhong to step down.
Pan Shaozhong's side did not fight back at all, he is also lobbying everywhere to win over supporters for himself, but everything depends on the results of this year's national martial arts debate.
Liu Weishi told Yan Lingyu all this, without the slightest evasion.
Not only that, Liu Weishi also told him that the Liu family has been jointly suppressed by several other families in recent years, and the annual primary election of the martial arts tower is particularly obvious, and the juniors of the Liu family are often targeted in competitions, so that the results are poor.
Hearing this, Yan Lingyu understood that Liu Weishi invited him to come to the Liu family, and the co-authorship was to reduce the pressure on the Liu family.
However, Yan Lingyu did not dislike Liu Weishi because of this, and was able to tell herself these generously, indicating that the other party was sincere, and to put it bluntly, she was to let herself choose.
Yan Lingyu didn't rush to make a statement, he planned to go to Liu's house to see it first, Liu Weishi is so generous, it doesn't mean that everyone in the Liu family is like this, if the Liu family is honest with each other, then he doesn't mind helping the Liu family in the primary competition, if it is coercive and tempting, then he has to say goodbye.
"Big brother can see that Little Brother Yan is not the kind of person with a small heart, I will tell you all these situations, lest you say that I lied to you when you arrive at Liu's house in a while. Liu Weishi said.
"Brother Liu treats each other sincerely, how can I not understand, don't worry, the little brother knows it. ”
"That's good, let's go, I've already sent a message to the housekeeper, and the master should be waiting. ”
The master is waiting? Yan Lingyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, what's the situation, I'm just going to take a look, why did you bring the master out.
Yan Lingyu suddenly didn't want to go in, but now that she was at the door, she couldn't go in, so she had to follow Liu Weishi into the gate of Liu's mansion.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a wide compound, and there are several villas around the compound, Yan Lingyu raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and found that there were many rooms there.
"The villa should be occupied by people of status, and those rooms in the distance should be the residence of the rest of the family. Yan Lingyu said secretly.
"Little Brother Yan, please come with me. ”
Liu Weishi took Yan Lingyu and walked towards the largest and most luxurious villa, obviously the master Liu Weishi said should live there.
On the other side, the villa hall was already full of people, and they were all high-level members of the Liu family.
"Father, the person Wei Shi said is really so powerful, if you can tie with him, you must at least cultivate the fifth layer of the Condensation Pulse Realm to do it, and Wei Shi has practiced martial arts for many years, and his actual combat ability is also extremely strong. A man said.
"I don't know, but he said the boy was from Radiant Moon City. Master Liu said.
"Huiyue City, from the capital, that's possible. Another said.
"If we can convince him to join our Liu family's team, then the pressure on the juniors in this year's primary election will be much less. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be the first time that someone from Huiyue City has come to our Qingyang Town to participate in the primary election. ”
"Well, it's the first time. ”
In the hall, the high-level members of the Liu family began to talk nonsense.
"It's already very face-saving for people to agree to come to Liu's house as a guest, if the other party doesn't agree later, remember not to force it, young people are more vigorous, and if you force him, it will make people hate you." Old Man Liu said slowly.
"Yes. ”
The crowd answered, and immediately stopped talking.
"Little Brother Yan, please. ”
The door of the hall was pushed open, and Liu Weishi walked in with Yan Lingyu.
"I've seen the lord, I've seen the elders. Liu Weishi saluted everyone.
Then he stretched out a hand and put it in front of Yan Lingyu: "Master, this is the little brother Yan Lingyu Yan I told you, although Brother Yan is not very old, his strength is very strong, and he will not fall behind in dozens of moves with me." ”
"I've seen the head of the Liu family, and I've seen all the seniors. Yan Lingyu also bowed.
"Well, it's indeed a talent, Yan Xiaoyou, please take a seat. Liu Huiliang pointed to an empty seat and said.
"Thank you, Master Liu. ”
Yan Lingyu said politely and sat down, he didn't intend to show a submissive look, since you ask me, then I won't be humble with you.
"Yan Xiaoyou is from Huiyue City?" asked the head of the Liu family.
"Exactly. Yan Lingyu nodded.
"The old man has some friends in Huiyue City, and he knows a little about the famous geniuses in Huiyue City, but he has never heard of Yan Shaoxia's name. ”
"I was originally a street wandering child, Master saw that I was pitiful and gave me a bite to eat, and later taught me to cultivate, otherwise I would still be begging on the side of the road, Master, her old man has always been low-key, and I don't like to fight with others, so I rarely show my face in front of the public, and my cultivation in the Condensation Pulse Realm is not very high in Huiyue City, it is normal that the head of the Liu family has not heard of it. ”
Yan Lingyu had thought of a rhetoric before she came in, and the trick of Master Wuchu was still very useful.
"Oh, Yan Xiaoyou came to Qingyang Town to participate in the primary election, is it his own intention or the meaning of the family teacher. ”
"It's all there, the main thing is that I want to come, after all, the Martial Arts Tower is of great benefit to cultivation. Yan Lingyu said.
"Then what are Yan Xiaoyou's plans? ”
"I don't have any plans, I've been cultivating with my master before, and I don't know much about the outside world, and this time I came to Qingyang Town with the mentality of taking one step at a time. ”
Hearing Yan Lingyu say this, Liu Huiliang's eyes lit up, he was talented, he had strength, and he was still alone, it seemed that he had to try his best to persuade this little guy to join the Liu family's team.
Liu Huiliang sat up straight: "Yan Xiaoyou is going out alone, it must be inconvenient to act, how about joining my Liu family's team, the Liu family also has a few juniors with good talents, if Yan Xiaoyou can join forces with them, then he will definitely be able to achieve good results in the hunting competition." ”
Regarding the Liu family's behavior of inviting her, Yan Lingyu had already expected: "Thank you for the kindness of the Liu family, I am used to being alone, and I am not very good at joint operations." ”
Yan Lingyu politely rejected Liu Huiliang's proposal, he wanted to see how the Liu family would react, according to the storyteller, someone would definitely shoot the case next, and then shouted, "Let you join the Liu family because you look up to you, don't toast and don't eat and drink."
The general contradiction starts here, the Liu family offended themselves, and then they turned to join the opposing camp of the other party, and then in the game, the descendants of the Liu family died tragically, and they were chased and killed by the Liu family, etc......
was rejected by Yan Lingyu, Liu Huiliang was not angry.
"Yan Xiaoyou, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can think about it again, although our Liu family is not a big family, but it has been operating in Qingshan Town for hundreds of years, and the background is still there, if Yan Xiaoyou is willing to join the Liu family's team, then the Liu family is willing to provide all the convenience for Yan Shaoxia. ”
"Yes, Yan Shaoxia, let's think about it seriously, as long as you join the Liu family's team, the Liu family is willing to provide a batch of cultivation resources to Shaoxia for free. At this point, another person interjected.
"The strength of the Liu family is not weak, why does the head of the family insist that I join the Liu family?" Yan Lingyu asked.
In fact, on the way here, Liu Weishi had already told Yan Lingyu the reason, but that was Liu Weishi's attitude, and he wanted to see what the Liu family's attitude was now.
If the Liu family was as clear as Liu Weishi about the situation he was targeted, then Yan Lingyu might consider joining the Liu family, but if he didn't say it, then he would definitely not join the Liu family's team.
"This ......," Liu Huiliang paused.
Hmph, the bad old man really wants to trap me, Yan Lingyu said secretly.
"Hey, don't hide it from Yan Xiaoyou, the Liu family has been targeted because of their support for the current county guard, the results of the Liu family in the primary election in recent years have not been very good, a big reason is that the Li Lin family is secretly making trouble, the old man invited Yan Shaoxia to join the Liu family's team, but also selfishly, I hope Yan Shaoxia can share some pressure for the Liu family during the game. ”
"But Yan Xiaoyou rest assured, the Liu family will not let you contribute in vain, I have ordered someone to prepare a batch of cultivation resources and gold and silver as a reward for Yan Xiaoyou to join the Liu family, and in case... In case Yan Xiaoyou fails to pass the primary election due to the Liu family's reasons, the Liu family will offer another batch of more precious resources as compensation. ”
The head of the Liu family directly explained the reason for inviting Yan Lingyu, and by the way, he also attached his own chips, saying that he would not let Yan Lingyu work for nothing.
"If Yan Shaoxia feels that it is not enough, if there are other needs, he can also put it forward, as long as the Liu family can do it, he will definitely not refuse. ”
"Yes, if Yan Shaoxia has other requirements, it can be explained, and the Liu family will try their best to meet them. ”
At this time, not only the head of the Liu family, but even the elders of the Liu family also expressed their attitudes.
Seeing this scene, Yan Lingyu was a little surprised, why is the routine wrong, shouldn't it be better to persuade herself to join at this time, and say something like if you don't agree, you can't eat and walk around.
"Your seniors are so gracious, it seems that they really want me to stand with the Liu family. Yan Lingyu said lightly.
Liu Huiliang nodded: "Indeed, the situation of the Liu family is not optimistic, we really need a genius like Yan Xiaoyou to join, but the Liu family will not force Xiaoyou, the choice is in Xiaoyou's hands." ”
Yan Lingyu sneered: "You are being jointly targeted by several other families, if I join, it won't be digging a pit for myself." ”
Hearing Yan Lingyu say this, Liu Huiliang shook his head slightly, he knew that what he meant was that it was impossible for me to join.
Not only Liu Huiliang, but also the other senior executives of the Liu family present also showed disappointed looks.
Yan Lingyu was still tentative, and he wanted to know when the Liu family would say the sentence "I advise you to join in."
"Yan Xiaoyou doesn't think about it anymore, if you feel that the benefits given by the Liu family are not enough, then we can add more. Liu Huiliang didn't give up, and he still wanted to struggle.
"What kind of benefits does the head of the Liu family think can be compared to entering the tower to cultivate? Yan Lingyu asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Huiliang was silent, indeed, the benefits that the Liu family can give are limited after all, and it is far from enough compared to entering the Martial Arts Tower to cultivate, although Yan Lingyu's cultivation is not high in Huiyue City, it is very good in Beixiong City.
As long as Yan Lingyu passes the primary election and gets the qualification to go to Beixiong City, then he has a high probability of grabbing the quota for entering the tower, and there is no need to risk his future for a little benefit.
Liu Huiliang was silent, and the others also showed displeasure, and even Liu Weishi shook his head and sighed.
Suddenly, Liu Huiliang smiled faintly, as if he had something to say.
Seeing Liu Huiliang's expression change, Yan Lingyu knew that the classic lines were coming, come on, threaten me quickly, don't bear it.
"Yan Xiaoyou has a calm heart, he is not moved by a little wealth, he is indeed a talented person, and the old man is amorous. ”
Sighing, Liu Huiliang said again: "Yan Xiaoyou came from afar, I don't know much about Qingshan Town, I will arrange someone to take Xiaoyou to rest first, and by the way, I will get some information for Xiaoyou, and see that Qingshan Town has some geniuses, and only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles." ”
"Wei Shi, go and arrange a good guest room for Yan Xiaoyou, and by the way, take some resources for cultivation and send them. ”
Seeing that Yan Lingyu had no intention of joining the Liu family, Liu Huiliang had no choice but to give up the invitation.
Liu Huiliang's operation stunned Yan Lingyu, I keep refusing why don't you get angry, you can't keep keeping it, you don't have a shame, why don't you say these words.
TMD, the routine is not normal again, Yan Lingyu scolded secretly.
