Chapter 174: The Uninvited Guest (II)
Chu Beiyan led everyone into the hall slowly, and everyone's eyes fell on Chu Beiyan at this moment.
Xue Rutian snorted coldly: "Chu Beiyan? What's going on?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a deacon came to him and hurriedly said, "President, President! Prince Chu Beiyan led his troops to surround our Alchemist Guild."
"Chu Beiyan, this guy is simply too deceitful."
When the second elder saw Chu Beiyan coming, he hurriedly got up and walked towards him, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, your old man is here, and you won't say a word to us.
Chu Beiyan chuckled: "The second elder is serious, this king just happened to be passing by here and wanted to come in to have a look, but I happened to hear President Xue Rutian talking about me, so I thought about coming in and taking a look."
Yun Xiling saw Su Tong, who was beside Chu Beiyan with a confused face, and hurriedly said, "Sister Yixuan, look! Why is Brother Su standing next to the prince?"
"What the hell is this kid? He ran away to his enemies." Gu Yixuan said very anxiously.
Gu Yixuan's willow eyebrows were raised, and he said, "What's the matter with you? Didn't it make you honestly stay outside? Why did you follow this Chu Beiyan in?"
Su Tong spread his hands helplessly, smiled bitterly, and replied, "I was also forced to be helpless! That's a long story!"
Xue Rutian slowly stood up, looked at Chu Beiyan and sneered: "Lord Chu Beiyan, what are you doing here?"
Chu Beiyan, the old fox, did not answer Xue Rutian's question just now, but changed the subject, pointed to the broken wooden door, and ordered, "This door was kicked by this king, and it is all recorded in the account, and when the time comes, call someone to send it to the president."
"This guy is really an uninvited guest, and he actually barged in front of so many people." Xue Rutian thought to himself.
The second elder hurriedly brought Chu Beiyan a chair to sit down, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, please take a seat!"
Chu Beiyan sat down very leisurely and asked slowly, "President Xue Rutian, how have you considered the proposal that this king gave you?"
Before Xue Rutian could speak, the second elder hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, I asked the brothers in the meeting just now, and everyone thinks it's good to cooperate with Lord Wang!"
When Xue Rutian heard this, he said coldly, "Second Elder, are you the president, or am I Xue Rutian the president? When will it be your turn to decide?"
The second elder chuckled, clenched his fists, and said, "President Hui, I'm just doing what everyone wants. Besides, this matter is related to the future of my Alchemist Guild, and I also want everyone to live a good life and go out without being looked down upon by others!"
Xue Rutian didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly, "Second Elder, this decision is made by me Xue Rutian, and no one else can interfere!"
Chu Beiyan let out a soft "oh" and sneered, "Then what do we mean by President Xue Rutian?"
"Lord! My Alchemist Guild has always done my duty, and I don't want to accompany the prince to go on that trip to the troubled waters, so please ask the prince to come back!" Xue Rutian said with his fists clenched.
"Someone, send off!"
Chu Beiyan smiled and said, "President Xue Rutian, is this the hospitality of your Alchemist Guild? It seems that it is not for nothing that the Alchemist Guild has become worse and worse over the years!"
Xue Rutian frowned, and slowly said, "Lord Wang, please go back!"
This time, Chu Beiyan directly bypassed Xue Rutian, looked at the Great Elder behind him, and smiled slightly: "Great Elder, the President is so determined, can you Elders just let the Elder be so obsessed and unenlightened? I coughed and heard that when the president of the presbyterian church made a mistake, he could make a collective decision, should it be passed? I don't know what you think, Great Elder?"
This Chu Beiyan is indeed smart, he doesn't plan to die on Xue Rutian, and he targets the Great Elder. The Great Elder is the oldest person among all the people here, although his status and power are not as high as Xue Rutian's now, but his prestige in the Alchemist Guild is even higher than that of the Guild, and such a respected old man's decision, Xue Rutian can't change the reality.
The Great Elder looked at Chu Beiyan and stroked his white beard with a smile, and said with a smile, "Just like the prince
That said, we in the Presbyterian Church can indeed interfere with the president's decision."
"Then I don't know what you think, Great Elder?"
"We and the president are naturally thinking about the good of the Alchemist Guild, but I'm afraid there are some problems with the president's decision today, and I need to come forward to help correct it." The Great Elder smiled slightly.
Snow is like the sky and his face is sinking like water, how did he know that Chu Beiyan had already bought off the Council of Elders, and even if he Xue Rutian refused, the Council of Elders would intervene, and this was the old fox's backhand.
Su Tong looked at the scene in front of him and thought: It seems that Chu Beiyan, the old fox who has a good abacus, if he takes this alchemist guild into his hands, then his influence in the Xuantian Dynasty will be even higher, even enough to compete with Beiliang. As my father said, this Chu Beiyan is ambitious, and he will be a great enemy in the future.
"Elders......
Xue Rutian turned her head and wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by the Great Elder: "President, this is the decision of our Council of Elders, and you have no right to interfere. Don't worry, you're still the president, but this time we have to find a way out for the Alchemist Guild, and I can't see the Alchemist Guild ruined in my hands."
"Good! Then do what the Presbyterians say! I'm as snowy as the sky!" Xue Rutian shouted indignantly.
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding!"
Chu Beiyan smiled slightly, stretched out her left hand towards Xue Rutian, and said with a smile: "President Xue Rutian, then we have a happy cooperation!"
Xue Rutian held his hand tightly, paused, and said in a cold voice, "Lord Wang, since my Alchemist Guild has chosen to cooperate with the Zhendong Palace, I also ask the Lord to assure the members of my guild here. Otherwise, once their anger erupts, I'm afraid I, the president, won't be able to suppress it!"
"Rest assured, President!"
After saying that, Chu Beiyan turned to face everyone and said slowly: "Fellow Daoists of the Alchemist Guild, in the future, my Zhendong Wangfu will become an ally with your guild, please rest assured, even if I Chu Beiyan is not well fed and clothed, I will never let my brothers suffer half of it."
"Chitose Wangye!"
"Chitose Wangye!"
"By the way, just now you said that the Alchemist Guild was going to crusade against Yunling in the Incense Valley? Since we are allies now, the enemies of the Alchemist Guild are the enemies of this king, and when the time comes, my Zhendong Royal Mansion will also help you." Chu Beiyan chuckled.
Xue Rutian grimaced and said, "Then thank you so much!"
Chu Beiyan turned around and walked towards the door, and when he passed by Su Tong's side, he asked, "Su Tong's nephew, do you want to follow your uncle back to Zhendong Wangfu?"
Su Tong clasped his fists and excused himself, "I understand Uncle Chu's kindness, but there are still people waiting for me." I will definitely go to your house in the future and visit you in person!"
"Good! Then I'll go first! When the time comes, I'll wait for your nephew at the mansion!"
"Definitely!"
After this Chu Beiyan left, Xue Rutian glared at the second elder angrily, and snorted coldly: "This is as you wish, right?"
The second elder still smiled and said, "President, we are also for the good of the guild!"
The Great Elder slowly got up and said, "President, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about it. Today is the Alchemist Competition, everyone still needs to prepare!"
"The meeting is over, let's go!"
The monks in the hall dispersed in a hurry, and Xue Rutian stood stupidly in place, and when everyone was almost gone, he sat on the ground and sighed softly: "It seems that the Alchemist Guild is really going to be destroyed by my hands."
Su Tong and his party were walking on the road, Gu Yixuan turned his head to look at Su Tong, and asked suspiciously, "Now it's time to talk about why you followed Chu Beiyan in?"
"I originally came here with this guy, and he didn't recognize me, who knew that this guy didn't recognize me at all, and he guessed it at a glance. I couldn't help it, so I followed this guy in." Su Tong smiled bitterly.
Xiaobai hurriedly echoed: "I testify!"
Gu Yixuan nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Now that the Alchemist Guild has formed an alliance with the Zhendong Wangfu, it seems to be an alliance, but it is actually the Zhendong King
The government wants to swallow the Alchemist Guild for itself, what do you think about this matter?"
Su Tong frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Although Chu Beiyan occupies the south of the Yangtze River and has a developed economy, the Jiangnan Navy in his hands is not as brave and good at fighting as my Beiliang Iron Cavalry, and it has great limitations, and the land defense and attack are not as good as the Xishu Vine Armor Soldiers, the Central Army is well-equipped, and the Xuanjia is extremely strong, which is also difficult for the Navy to contend with. Everyone in the world knows that Chu Beiyan has the ambition of hegemony, so the royal family will give him this seemingly economically rich and barren territory."
"But Chu Beiyan is lucky, the Alchemist Guild is here, his move is just to completely integrate Jiangnan's combat power, and the addition of the Alchemist Guild naturally greatly strengthens the power in his hands."
Su Tong spread his hands helplessly and said, "But these are all things that my father should take care of, and I can't do anything about it."
Gu Yixuan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, tomorrow is the Alchemist Competition, you remember to participate."
"I'm going to participate? I didn't sign up at all, did I? What's going on?" Su Tong asked suspiciously.
"This alchemist competition is the name I gave you, we are all here, if you don't participate, I'm afraid you won't go, right?" Gu Yixuan smiled slightly and explained.
"But I ...... it"
Gu Yixuan continued, "Don't worry, the people participating in this alchemist competition are all monks of the same age as you, I believe you will be able to do it! You say yes! Dan Dao little genius!"
"But, Sister Yixuan, I really don't want to go!"
Gu Yixuan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly, "If you don't go, you have to go, this is the face of the sect!"
Su Tong is also helpless, isn't this just chasing ducks to the shelves?
On the top of the pavilion, the group of monks from Jiulong Temple were sitting there drinking tea, and Xiao Rulai Kui Yao slowly stood up, looked at Su Tong and the party, and slowly said, "Kunlun Mountain......
Sihai got up and walked to Kui Yao's side and asked, "Xiao Rulai, what are we going to do next?"
"I've already found out, this kid from Kunlun Mountain will also go to the Alchemist Competition, and I will meet him tomorrow to see how many catties and taels he has, and he dares to compete with me Kui Yao!" Kui Yao sneered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"By the way, let's go and prepare first, always focus on the movements of the White Tiger Villa, Chunyang Palace and Kunlun Mountain, their treasure I, Kui Yao, is bound to win!"
Sikai nodded and said, "Understood!"
