Chapter 099: The Meeting of the Elders (Part I)
Hearing the shouts of the outsiders, Kaede first replied, "I understand, stand down." ”
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess!"
After that, I heard footsteps moving away, and the people outside seemed to have left.
"My lord, because I just explained it for too long, I forgot to mention the 'four elders' of our country. 』
"'Four family elders'?"
Hearing Kaede say a new term, Fei was puzzled and asked.
"It's a little too late, so let's talk as we go, Sakura, let's go. ”
"Yes, my sister. ”
Then Sakura opened the door first, and Kaede and Fei Yi walked out of the room, and Fei was sandwiched between Feng and Sakura, and followed the two of them, and Xiaofeng obediently stayed to watch the door.
"The 'Four Family Elders' is a position established by the original monarch, and its role is to assist the first monarch in managing our country, and its power is huge, and its status is under the 'Divine Witch' and the 'Monarch'. ”
"It sounds a lot like the 'prime minister' of this world. ”
After listening to what Feng said, Fei Yi interjected, and Feng also nodded slightly.
"What the husband said is right, because when the 'Scarlet Village Country' was first established, there were many miscellaneous things, and many important things had to be ordered, so four important management positions were added at one time, but after the disappearance of the first monarch, this 'four family elders' were also retained, otherwise the country would be left unmanaged. ”
"Well, that makes sense. ”
"Husband, let's not talk yet, we are almost at the 'council', remember what the concubine said at the beginning, please husband, please don't speak. ”
But at this time, Feng suddenly stopped the topic and said to Fei Yi, who also nodded.
"Well, I listen to you. ”
"Thank you, Husband. ”
The three of them arrived at a room with sliding doors on the left and right, and the space seemed to be quite large.
Kaede and Sakura each pulled the door and let Fei also see the situation inside.
Fei also saw four people, three men and one woman, now kneeling on the floor cushions, seemingly waiting for the three of them to arrive.
It seems that these people should be the "four elders" mentioned by Kaede.
Directly above the room, there is a raised level, with two cushions, which seems to be the main seat.
The four of them saw Fei Yi and them coming in at the same time, with different expressions.
When the brown-haired middle-aged man saw Fei Yi, there seemed to be some disdain and disgust in his eyes, and he didn't hide it at all.
This made Fei Yi's first impression of him very bad, but he also felt strange in his heart, isn't it true that people in this country respect the "monarch" very much?
The red-haired middle-aged man was a little nervous, and he didn't know what he was nervous about.
The other gray-haired man was the new cloud he saw at the entrance of the castle at the beginning, but at this time, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't greet Sakura and Kaede.
The last one was a woman, who looked to be about thirty years old, and her short orange shoulder-length hair looked very energetic, and she was beautiful in appearance, and she was also a rare beauty, and she was smiling kindly at Fei Yi and them, which made Fei Yi have a good impression of her. After Kaede and Sakura then closed the door, Kaede took Tobayi to sit on the main seat, while Sakura stood next to Kaede, but not on the hierarchy.
"Thank you for coming, this is the new 'monarch', named 'Ye Feiyi', who came from the same place as the first monarch, and is also the husband of the concubine. ”
Kaede first introduced it to Fei.
And the first person to bow his head to salute was also the short-haired beauty.
"Under the 'Phantom Water and Sky Clear', the fourth elder of the position, see Lord Sovereign. ”
Because Fei didn't know whether to speak or not, he could only nod his head.
"Under the 'Eternal Wind and New Clouds', the second oldest of the position, see Lord Sovereign. ”
The second one to bow his head was Xinyun, so that Fei was not too surprised, and he also nodded to him.
The three red-haired men who were about to bow their heads were stopped by the brown-haired man next to him.
At this time, the brown-haired man said loudly to Fei Yi: "My name is 'Huadi Mountain Huai', and I am sorry! I will not agree to let this milky and dry boy be the monarch of our 'Scarlet Village Country'!"
Hearing this, Fei Yi first looked at Feng, his expression was indifferent, and he felt that Feng seemed to know that there would be opposition, and then Fei Yi looked in the direction of others, the red-haired man was still nervous, and his face broke out in a cold sweat, and Xinyun began to close his eyes and recuperate, and did not speak, and finally the woman named Kongqing glanced in the direction of Xinyun, feeling that she wanted to speak but was helpless.
Let Fei also have no idea what the situation was now, so he still listened to Kaede's words and remained silent.
"Elder of the Shanhuai family, why do you object? This is the last words of the first monarch, and our descendants should not all obey it. ”
"Hmph! Obey! This is really a big joke, our 'Scarlet Village Country' has not had a 'monarch' for nearly five hundred years, but they are all doing well, why can this young man who fell from the sky be our monarch, I am not convinced!"
"The eldest of the Shanhuai family, the concubine is not looking for you to discuss now, but to ask you to comply, do you understand? ”
Although Feng said it slowly in a flat tone, the content in it was very domineering, which made Fei also a little unrecognizable to the woman in front of him.
Because Feng is like a kitten in front of Fei Yi, he often makes silent coquettish to him, but Fei Yi forgets that when he first saw Feng Yi, Feng has always tested him with force, but Fei Yi just forgot about it.
"'Kaede Scarlet Village'! I read that your 'Divine Witch' is using your own life to protect the seal, so I recognize that your 'Divine Witch' status can be above our 'Four Family Elders', but in terms of real power, you are not qualified to speak at all. ”
I saw that the man named Shanhuai had a bruised face, and he was very unhappy that Feng spoke to him in this tone.
"That thing alone is qualified, and if you have the ability, you can seal it yourself. ”
"You—!"
Shan Huai seemed to be speechless, and he really had no way to extend the validity period of the "Heaven and Earth God Thunder Town Demon Array".
But Shanhuai still didn't give up, and then said to Fei Yi: "What is your name 'Fei Yi', you leave the 'Canglei Divine Sword', you can go back, even if you are from the same place as the first monarch, so what! Do you have the slightest contribution to our 'Scarlet Village Country'? Like a beggar with a dead face, it is disgusting to look at people, do you want to be the monarch of our 'Scarlet Village Country'? ! Let's put your own strength first, stinky boy!"
Although Fei Yi didn't want to really inherit the throne of the monarch, hearing Shanhuai's words made him still angry, and he wanted to say that he was not rare at all about the position of monarch.
Just as Fei Yi wanted to speak, Feng next to him hurriedly held Fei Yi's hand, and then said to Shan Huai: "Don't be presumptuous, you dare to speak like this to the monarch." ”
Then Fei Yi hurriedly shut up, and saw a trace of pity in Shanhuai's eyes, only to know that he almost fell into Shanhuai's way.
It's dangerous! It's dangerous! I almost said it in passing, no wonder Kaede told me not to speak.
Fei also saw that the other three family elders did not speak for him at all, and realized that the "four family elders" did not recognize him at all, which made Fei Yi realize that the situation was a little bad.
