Chapter 167:-for-tat
As the crowd of onlookers discussed, an old man with more than a dozen guards kicked off the horse. He glanced at the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the road, snorted coldly, and was about to step into the Wing House, where the door was wide open.
At this time, a faint voice came, "Isn't this the head of the Ge family in front?" The head of the Ge family hasn't seen him for many days, but his demeanor is still the same." Ten warriors in silver armor surrounded a carriage and stopped at the gate, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a tall old man with a gloomy face stepped out, and at the same time, a group of carriages stopped on the left, and out of a smiling old man was Hong Zhen and Wang Quan.
Hong Zhen is the mayor of Yicheng, in charge of the management of Yicheng, and the Hong family is the real top family in Yicheng, Ge Hao did not dare to slack off, hugged his fists and saluted, and said: "Hello Mayor Hongcheng, we small families are played with in the palm of our hands all day long, how can we have any style at all." However, Elder Hongcheng should be strong and admirable. ”
Hong Zhen and Wang Quan glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes. This old guy is so angry, but what he wants is this kind of thorn that can't be pressed.
Hong Zhen said: "Come on, let's go in together, and see what the Wing City Conference held by the Wing Family, who was killed to the ground, looks like." ”
Ge Hao heard the disdain in Hong Zhen's words for the Yijia Wing City Conference, and a smile appeared on his face. The three of them walked into the gate of the wing house one after another. Ge Hao took a moment, approached Hong Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Mayor Hongcheng, what do you think of the Wing Family's Wing City Conference?"
Hong Zhen shook his head and said, "I think it's the duty of the Wing family to resist external insults and defend the Wing City, let us contribute, tsk, how can our small family withstand the toss? ”
Wang Quan said beside him: "What Mayor Hong said is very true. The Wing family has been getting more and more disagreeable lately. We have the ability to fight the Black Wind Bandit Group by ourselves, why let us go up? We are not city guards. ”
Ge Hao was overjoyed and nodded approvingly.
Subsequently, there were many named families who walked into the door of the Wing Family, and were greeted by the Wing Family one by one into the council hall. Soon, careful people such as Hong Zhen and Wang Quan discovered that something was wrong with the Yi family. Even if the elders of the Wing family don't come out in person, at least they have to send Yi Xuanwei or Yi Xuanhua, the representative of the second generation of the Yi family, to come out to greet the guests, but now these Yi family elites can't see a single figure, and the heads of the Yi family who are participating in the meeting are all greeted by the Yi family Steward Chen, which is a bit abnormal.
In just a short time, all the forty-three families named on the notice were counted, and sure enough, as Hong Zhen speculated, none of the families were absent. It's just that except for a few families who are greatly affected by the Black Wind Bandit Group and really want to solve the problem of the Black Wind Bandit Group as soon as possible, most of the other family heads are pulling their faces, frowning, faintly revealing a resentment, obviously harboring great resistance to this Wing City Assembly.
After a while, I heard a loud singing: "The city guard has arrived, the guests are quiet!" At the same time, behind the screen behind the first seat of the hall, two tall and mighty warriors of the Wing Family stepped out on the left and right, these two warriors were dressed in armor and wore steel knives at their waists, and they stood on the left and right of the first seat, dignified and mighty.
The hall was already quite silent, but this time it was even quieter, and they all looked behind the screen. There was a slight sound of footsteps, and a person came out from behind the screen.
This man was full of silver hair, his face was thin but square and mighty, he held a helmet in his right hand, and his tall body was armed with silver-white silver armor, and the killing aura came to his face. The sound of "stampede" just heard was the sound of steel boots stepping on the floor.
This person is the current helmsman of the Wing family, and Wing Cheng guards the south sky of Wing Cheng on behalf of the city.
Seeing Yi Nankong dressed in full armor, Hong Zhen and Wang Quan, who originally felt that the Yi family was a little abnormal today, had some doubts. Spirit-level armor is extremely difficult to wear, and armor made of steel is far less comfortable to wear on the body than clothes made of satin cloth, so it is not very temporary, and armor is generally not worn. Could it be that this Wing Nankong was worried that the patriarchs of more than forty families in this Wing City would turn their faces, so they wore armor in order to protect themselves?
The more than forty patriarchs of the family who were sitting in the hall saw that Yi Nankong had come out, and they were in the middle of etiquette, so they all stood up and bowed, and said, "I have seen Lord City Guard." It's just that the sparse and listless voice proves that these people are not waiting for the arrival of Yi Nankong.
Yi Nankong was expressionless, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please take a seat, you don't need to be polite." ”
These people who came to the meeting were all heads of the family, and they saluted Yi Nankong only because of his identity, but they didn't have much respect for Yi Nankong himself, especially when the Yi family had just suffered a big defeat and his reputation plummeted. So they all sat down with a big grin, not thinking that this was the highest power center in Yicheng.
Yi Nankong sat on the first seat, and he knew the expressions of these people in the hall well, today the Yi family had a big move, and he didn't think it was a pestle, and calmly asked the steward Chen who served beside him: "Old Chen, forty-three families, which family has not arrived?"
Steward Chen bowed down and said, "Lord Yucheng Shou, all the forty-three families in Yicheng who have silver powerhouses are all present, and none of them are absent. ”
Yi Nankong bowed slightly, his eyes swept slightly, and he saw the resentment and impatience between the eyebrows of these family patriarchs, he sneered in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said loudly: "Everyone, I believe that everyone knows very well the purpose of holding the Yicheng Conference in our city guard mansion this time. The Black Wind bandit group burned, killed and looted, brutalized creatures, poisoned for hundreds of miles, and caused endless harm. At first, the former head of my Yi family, Yi Nantian, entered the tiger's den alone and killed the three golden powerhouses of the Black Wind Bandit Group, which almost caused the Black Wind Bandit Group to collapse and disintegrate, but unfortunately the providence made people escape, so that the disaster of the Black Wind Bandit Group lasted for a year. Then, the old man was not talented, he was in charge of the Yijia family, and he was the city guard for Yicheng, raising troops to fight against thieves, but unfortunately there were people in Yicheng who braved the disapproval of the world, colluded with the party, plotted against the party, and repeatedly made waves in the dark, so that my Yijia failed to ask for the full merit of the thief. I thought about it again and again, the disaster of the Black Wind Bandit Group is not the disaster of the Wing family, and the annihilation of the Black Wind Bandit Group is not the benefit of the Wing family. Only when all the families in Yicheng work together can they achieve full success with one blow, completely eradicate the cancer of Yicheng, and restore order in Yicheng. Everyone here is at the helm of the big and small families of Yicheng, I don't know what to think of this joint dispatch to Baishiling?"
Yi Nankong's words were extremely clever, while explaining the disaster of the Black Wind Bandit Group, he pointed out the efforts and contributions made by the Wing family in fighting against foreign thieves. At the same time, a major piece of information was revealed, that is, someone in Yicheng colluded with the Black Wind Bandit Group and leaked the news, so the Wing family failed to annihilate the Black Wind Bandit Group.
Yi Nankong's voice fell, but he heard a sharp voice sneer: "Patriarch Yi, compared to the previous city guard Yi Nantian, you are not as strong, majestic or as wise, but there is one thing, you are not able to catch up with Yi Nantian." That's the mouth. ”
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that Wang Quan came down in the third seat, an old man with thin cheeks, a cold expression, and a simple leather armor on his body crossed Erlang's legs without any image, with a sarcastic look on his face, this old man was the patriarch of the Ge family, Ge Hao. The Ge family is one of the few medium-sized families in Yicheng, in addition to Ge Hao, a powerhouse of the Silver Sixth Heaven, there are at least three mid-silver powerhouses in the family, and more than a dozen early-stage silver powerhouses. Even among the medium-sized families in Yicheng, the strength is extremely high.
Although Ge Hao has some talents, he is bitter and mean, when Yi Nantian was in charge of the Yi family in the past, he even had a history of confronting Yi Nantian on the spot, and was slapped on the spot by Yi Nantian, and since then he has formed a bond with the Yi family. In the past, when Yi Nantian was there, this Ge Hao didn't dare to collapse a fart, but now that Yi Nantian has fallen, the Yi family is not as good as before, and Ge Hao has also begun to be unscrupulous, and he is not merciless in his words.
Most of the family patriarchs present sneered in their hearts, and secretly said that the show had begun.
Hong Zhen and Wang Quan, who were sitting in the first position on the left and right sides of the lower head, glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes. They want to see how the Yinankong Yicheng Conference will go on.
To the surprise of many people, Yi Nankong, who was the acting city guard of Yicheng and the head of the Yicheng family, was also the head of the Yicheng family, who was actually indifferent to Ge Hao's sarcasm, his face was indifferent, and he said, "What does Patriarch Ge have to say?"
Ge Hao pursed his lips, sneered, didn't stand up, just sat on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed and said, "I don't dare to be a teacher, but I don't think about the Wing Patriarch's whitewashed face." As the city guard, your Yijia is in charge of the war reserve army, and enjoys the best and most resources of Yicheng, which is your right, but it is also your obligation to resist external humiliation, ensure the safety of Yicheng, and maintain order in Yicheng. Now your Yijia enjoys the best resources, but there is no way to take the Black Wind Bandit Group, and even repeatedly loses troops and generals, this is a manifestation of your Yijia's inability and inaction. The scourge of the Black Wind Bandit Group is indeed not a disaster for one family, but the one who really benefits the most from the annihilation of the Black Wind Bandit Group is the Wing Family. As long as you eradicate the Black Wind Bandits within a year, you will be able to secure the position of the city guard, which is a good thing for the heavens. But what benefit can we get from our efforts and the death of people? Patriarch Wing, your Wing family's abacus is playing very loudly. ”
