Chapter 34: Persuasion
Jinyunlan secretly said that it was not good, it turned out that what his father said before that the world was uneven meant this. Fuguang, Sulu and Jinyun are in a three-legged trend. Fuguang and Su Luo have been at odds for a long time, and there have been constant conflicts in diagnosis for more than ten years, and Jinyun is caught in the middle, choosing Mingzhe to protect himself, so he does not have close contacts with the two clans.
Once Fuguang and Sulu fight, the balance of the three clans will be broken. Fuguang has always been strong, is the strongest of the three clans, and ambitious, once he captures Sulu, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then attack Jinyun, the Central Plains shallow cultivated land belt in one go, after which he is the only family.
However, since he intended to reveal his ambitions to the Great Elder, he probably also had the intention of coercing, thinking of cooperating with Jinyun, first, to consolidate his strength, and secondly, to prevent Jinyun from taking advantage of the competition between the other two clans, and he would benefit from fishing.
Regardless of whether Jinyun agrees or not, judging from the current situation, once the war starts, Jinyun will not escape the fate of being dominated by Fuguang. Unless Jinyun's combat power can match Fuguang's, there may be room for turnaround.
"So how do we deal with it?" Some of the present asked questions.
The patriarch replied with a deep face: "Improve combat power and unite people's hearts." ”
These short eight characters look general, but they are actually all on point. There is no doubt about improving the hard power of Los Angeles as a whole, and uniting the hearts of the people in the city is amplifying the power of spirit and will, after all, it is much stronger to unite than to act alone.
Therefore, this year's autumn examination of Jinyun College has relaxed the conditions, and students who are not Jinyun College can sign up for it. This is no longer just a fist and kick performance of one academy, but an emergency drill for the entire city.
At this heavy moment, Jinyun Chong raised his hand and deliberately asked in front of everyone: "Since Jinyun has reached the point of life and death. Should the execution of the Kushan Li clan be accelerated? ”
A muffled thunder sounded above Jinyunlan's head. She turned her head sharply, stared at Jin Yunchong's nonchalant face with tearful eyes, and gritted her teeth.
Jinyun Chong heard the heavy and rapid breathing beside him, and imperceptibly showed a little triumphant smile, and he continued to speak, trampling on Jinyun Lan's bottom line.
"Although the Li clan is at the end of the road, and the fall is only in the day, it is difficult to say whether there is still a huge residual strength in the Li clan. If they take advantage of the chaos to rush down the empty mountain and attack Los Angeles, Jinyun will not be attacked on his back. Moreover, once the truth about the Li clan is exposed, not only will the people in the city be panicked, but other groups may also attack Jinyunkou, or even attack them by force. At present, Jinyun's life and death are at stake, and internal and external troubles are at the same time. The disciple believes that if you go outside, you must first settle inside. Li Shi is a major problem in Jinyun's heart, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible, so as not to be hindered by internal and external constraints in the future, and there is no regret in the future. ”
The stakes are so high that the patriarch and the twelve elders don't know how to make decisions for a while.
But what made Jinyunlan shudder was that there were more and more voices in the audience who thought that Jinyun was reasonable, like a tide, indulging her in it wave after wave.
She clenched her fists so that her joints turned white, and she only felt that the blood around her body was flowing backwards, and she was rushing to her head with all her might, telling her not to vomit or be unhappy. But she clearly understood that if she vehemently argued for Lai, she would be noticeable. And her agitation at this moment does not allow her to calmly present an impartial point of view. Therefore, she had to do her best to restrain the strong desire to refute in her heart.
But despite the thousands of times she had silently recited in her heart, to hold back, to endure, she still could not overcome the fear that swept over her heart. As soon as she thought that Lai's life and death were only in the minds of these people, she could no longer sit idly by.
In the orderly crowd, she still stretched out her hand and asked to speak.
Jin Yunchong showed a smile that was in his hands.
Jinyunlan, you're dead.
"Oh, the first time the eldest lady participated in the morning meeting, she had an opinion. You might as well listen to it. One of the elders said.
Jin Yunlan took a deep breath, and her stomach was full of words ready to be heard, but she opened her mouth, and before she could speak, the patriarch took her words over, "If you have similar opinions, you don't need to say it anymore." He turned his head and said solemnly to everyone: "The contradiction between Li and Jinyun has been left for thousands of years, and it cannot be eradicated in a few words. Moreover, although Fuguang intends to start a war with Su Ruo, he has not yet put it into action, and we still have time to make full preparations. The stakes are high, and we need to take a long-term view. “
When Jinyunlan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but her heart was not really put down.
Jinyun Chong's words, although cold-blooded and ruthless, extremely cruel, and regard human life as a mustard, but from Jinyun's point of view, I have to say that it is indeed reasonable.
And what she was worried about was that the elders of the clan would focus on the Li clan for a long time because of Jin Yunchong's words. Therefore, when the patriarch proposed to dismiss the meeting, she always had a gloomy face, unable to dissipate the sorrow in her heart. Even Jinyun Chong called out to her from behind, but she didn't hear it.
All the attendees of the morning meeting left the meeting listlessly and with a sad face. Jinyun Chong is the same, but what makes him unhappy is not the dangerous situation in front of him, but the patriarch who stopped Jinyun Lan's self-disclosure declaration at a critical moment, and failed to let him see the wonderful picture.
However, the uneasy look on her face after hearing his words was enough to confirm the close relationship between her and the Li family.
Thinking of this, there is something to be proud of. He stepped forward quickly, put his hand on her shoulder, and decided to take advantage of the victory to chase after her, and then stimulate her.
He pretended to be humble and took the initiative to say to Jinyunlan: "I don't know what the eldest sister thinks of my proposal? I see that the eldest sister seems to be holding back her anger, I don't know where the foolish brother said something wrong, which makes you unhappy? ”
Jin Yunlan stopped her troubled pace, stared at him gloomily, and smiled weirdly: "I think what you said makes sense." But I sincerely hope that Fuguang will not have the same thoughts as you when looking at Jinyun. ”
The corners of Jinyun Chong's mouth twitched, "Eldest sister, are you blaming me for being ruthless?" ”
"How so? You're also thinking about Jinyun. I can't compare this worry. She always kept smiling, not showing a flaw, and her tone was also like him.
Jinyun Chong smiled and said: "Since I coincide with the eldest sister, it is better for you and me to work together to persuade my father to carry out this matter as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”
Jin Yunlan bowed to him with a humble attitude, "The elders of the clan have their own elders to discuss. They have a lot of experience and experience, and they will definitely outweigh the young opinions of you and me. What's more, what you just said is already justified, so why do you need to add to it and annoy people? She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
His meaningful tone made him uncomfortable, but he couldn't catch the mistakes in her words. He was speechless for a while, and Jinyunlan had no intention of entangling with him anymore, so she left quickly.
She hurried back to her home and angrily pushed open her door. Returning to her own turf, she vented the anger and fear she had endured. She stomped her foot a few times, spun around like a thorn on the ground.
She smashed the table with her fists in resentment, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn! Damn it! If the father really listened to Jin Yunchong's words, what should they do if they want to execute the Li family? What to do? The hateful Fuguang, the wolf's ambition, it is not enough to occupy the mountain as the king, and he even thinks about annexing Sulu. Does he really want to dominate the world? She clenched her fist and bit her index finger, feeling anxious as she wondered if she should tell her father a blow.
On the other side, after Jinyun Chong and Jinyun Lan parted ways in front of the hall, he immediately went to visit the Great Elder.
He thinks that his father's favoritism towards Jinyunlan has reached the point of going mad, and he can't defeat Jinyunlan by himself, so he can only seek the help of a more just and more like-minded uncle.
After entering the door of the Great Elder's house and exchanging pleasantries with him for a short time, he took out a black and white doll and handed it to the Great Elder, and said bluntly: "Uncle, look at this. ”
The Great Elder narrowed his eagle-like eyes, "This doll form is very rare, where did you get it?" ”
Jin Yunchong replied: "This is given by the eldest sister to the younger sister Xiuxiu, there is no sale in Los Angeles, and the nephew has verified that this animal is an iron-eating beast." ”
The Great Elder's thick eyebrows slowly furrowed, but his reaction was extremely sharp. He spat out two words slowly, full of danger.
"Lai?"
Jin Yunchong bowed solemnly, and then he took out a stack of bills and pushed them in front of the Great Elder, "This is the bill for the eldest sister's long-term order of grain. Now that there is no famine in the city, what is her intention in buying so much rice? ”
A hint of clarity flashed in the Great Elder's gaze as he looked at Jin Yunchong, "What do you think her purpose is?" ”
Jinyun Chong replied solemnly: "My nephew has reason to think that she has violated the ancestral teachings privately, and she secretly corresponded with the Li family, assisted the Li family, and had ill intentions. “
The Great Elder was silent, and his face, which was not angry and arrogant, became even more solemn and serious, which was very terrifying.
Jinyun Chongzhi was secretly happy in his heart, which showed that the Great Elder had realized the seriousness of the situation, but he just saw that there was a deep concern between his eyebrows, as if he hesitated. Inevitably, this matter was picked up high and put down gently, he hurriedly spoke, creating panic, "Uncle." If this had been done in the past, there would have been no need to be so nervous. The eldest sister's willful and reckless behavior is her consistent style, her father prefers her, and he will do his best to cover for her, and a few words of reprimand in private will disappear. But this is not the same as it used to be. The world is uneven, Fuguang and Su Luo are facing each other, and Jinyun's position is in jeopardy. If the people of Los Angeles knew that the daughter of the Jinyun Clan had a private relationship with the evil Li Clan, their trust in the Jinyun Clan Association would inevitably be greatly reduced, wouldn't it be contrary to what his father said to unite people's hearts. In the city, the people are panicking, and there is no need for foreign tribes to attack, and we are already scattered. This matter must not be taken lightly, and it is better to misjudge than to let ...... go."
As soon as Jinyun was mentioned, the Great Elder really couldn't sit still, and let out a strong voice: "That's enough." He involuntarily rubbed the word "Chuan" on his eyebrows, but he was never able to smooth out the wrinkles. He gave a stern order: "Bring Jinyun Lanlai to the ancestral hall tonight, and I will interrogate him personally." ”
He repeatedly told him not to make a noise.
Jinyun Chong stood up and bowed to him again, his face full of irrepressible sinister smiles, but his voice was still shaped by him as serious.
"My nephew understands that he must complete the task."
At this time, Jinyunlan didn't know anything about her brother's secret movements.
