Chapter 66: Gathering at the Pavilion [Second Watch Asking for Votes]
Chapter 66 Gathering at the Pavilion [Second Watch Asking for Votes]
At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, it is inevitable that the heads and elders of the five major families who have rarely seen in the past will go out, and this in itself is naturally a major attraction of the people, and the people who come to participate in the cabinet meeting will certainly not miss such an opportunity to contact the high-level.
After all, they who live at the bottom also want to climb the high branches in order to gain recognition within the family, which can be regarded as the fastest way to rise themselves!
In view of this, before the dignitaries of the five major families attended the pavilion meeting, the government officials who came to join in the excitement blocked the water around the road leading to the Wuling Pavilion.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Who is it? Let me see!"
"Eh, you're stepping on my feet! You don't need to look at people, just this formation, who else can there be besides the Chu family who is in charge of the medicinal herb storehouse?"
"Oh! yes! It's really magnanimous! This time, it's the head of the Chu Qian family and Miss Chu Linglan who are here!"
"Nonsense! Then it goes without saying! Miss Chu Linglan is really getting more and more beautiful! Hehe!"
"What do you think! Let's take a break from cooking! I don't want to see who I am!"
“......”
Under the luxurious battle, the Chu family arrived early. Just as Chu Qian and Chu Linglan were about to walk into the gate of Wuling Pavilion, there was another commotion in the crowd. After a pause, Chu Qian turned around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's falcon glanced at the person behind him who was surrounded by everyone, and then said with a smile:
"Wei Yan, you're a busy person, it's really harder to see you than to ascend to the sky!"
"Oh, don't tell me!, we'll be with each other!" a deep voice came from the crowd, and a man in a robe replied with a smile on his face.
"I've seen Uncle Chu Qian!"
Seeing his father and Chu Qian greeting him, Wei Yan, who had been following Wei Yan's side, was extremely knowledgeable about the current affairs and clasped his fists at Chu Qian.
"Hehe! It's Wei Yan's nephew! It's getting more and more handsome and chic!"
"Linglan is also more and more delicate and cute! This girl, I really like it, will I be my Wei Yan's daughter-in-law in the future?" haha!"
Hearing the two elders gags together, Chu Linglan and Wei Wei were not surprised, after all, the relationship between the two families was extraordinary, and they still understood the principle of joining forces, so they didn't care about anything, just smiled and laughed casually.
Glancing at Chu Linglan, whose expression was still indifferent, Wei Linglan's mood suddenly felt an inexplicable loss, saying that heroes are worthy of beauties, he Wei Linglan thinks very highly of himself, and he has long identified Chu Linglan, who is a childhood sweetheart, as his own woman. Although this may be his wishful thinking, the strong possessiveness that arises because he can't get it is not only not erased by Chu Linglan's coldness, but on the contrary, it has intensified.
In a certain way, it can be said that he has already regarded Chu Linglan as his own forbidden body! If anyone touches her, or if she is devoted to anyone, he will be his mortal enemy, the kind that will not die!
"You two came pretty early!"
Just when Wei Yan fell into endless obscenity, another unfamiliar voice sounded behind him, and when he turned around, he saw two strong men, one big and one small, walking from the crowd in a particularly abrupt manner! There was no soul fluctuation on the body, although there were only two of them, but for a low-key martial artist, the aura would not fall at any time!
"Wu Lei !!" After seeing who it was, Wei Yan and the others were both stunned and surprised.
"Why is this expression?what??," Wu Lei and Wu Lan walked alone among the two Chu and Wei families, and chuckled.
"No...... Of course not! Aren't you in retreat?
"The matter of the pavilion meeting! I got out of the customs ahead of schedule!" For the stunned expressions of the two, others may not know the reason for the bell, but only the head of the Chu and Wei families, who has learned Wu Lei's skills, knows that this strong man with a smile as usual, how terrible is he is!
Twenty years ago today, several of them were also the leaders of their respective families, and in that year's pavilion competition, the unknown Wu Lei took a tough attitude as a dark horse, one against four, and defeated the four major families at that time. Its methods are decisive and its tactics are deadly.
Chu Qian and Wei Yan, who had been lying on the bed for half a year after a few ribs were broken, still remember that scene at that time, twenty years have passed, and that scene has always been like a fishbone stuck in the throat, deeply stinging the hearts of the two, leaving a shadow that can never be erased! And until now, from Wu Lei, the two still feel an insurmountable gap!
"Your strength ......" wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and both of them asked in disbelief.
"It's just a fluke! It's not worth mentioning!" Wu Lei was free and easy, and said lightly.
"Oh...... Hehe! Congratulations!" The two of them, who knew all kinds of Wu Lei's deeds and couldn't understand them anymore, were embarrassed in their hearts, such a cultivation speed, although the way of cultivation was different, but it was already amazing among their peers! With this, the title of "Yawu" in this outer courtyard was well deserved in the hands of the martial artists!
"It's all here! Looks like I'm the last to arrive! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
When the three of them were embarrassed, a slightly old voice came out of the crowd behind them, and they followed the sound, only to see an old man with a little gray hair and a young man with a rather delicate appearance, it was Zhao Yin, who had fought with Han Xuan that day! The two of them passed through the flow of people, and flashed in front of everyone without realizing it in a few breaths!
"I've seen Zhao Yan's senior!"
The old man was dressed in a green shirt and long coat, holding a deadwood cane, and his smile always gave people an approachable and cordial appearance, but only those who were familiar with him knew the ruthless methods of this old man! No matter in terms of seniority or strength, the people present could not match him. Strength is respected, even if it is the four masters, after seeing Zhao Yan, they are all polite and polite, and their words are full of respect and flattery.
"No need! Now that we're here, let's go to the venue first!"
Without even looking at these patriarchs who were big names in the eyes of ordinary clansmen, Zhao Yan took Zhao Yin to step into the gate of Wuling Pavilion first! Then everyone looked at each other, and then followed closely.
A few minutes after the four major families entered the Wuling Pavilion, the crowd suddenly stirred again, but if you listen carefully, this time it seems to be different from the previous ones, less flattery and envy, and more disdain and disdain!
"Look at it, look at it! Isn't that the Tang family? Why do you still come here every year? It's not a shame!"
"That's it! The Tang family actually doesn't have to attend any cabinet meetings at all, and they should really directly cancel the qualifications of the five major families of the Tang family. ”
"Alas, I don't have the right to speak, even Gebi is at the bottom, as long as the rankings of other families are set, the last place will be directly promulgated to the Tang family, why bother with that?
"Say no more, stop talking......"
"Hey, what are you doing with me? ...... you?"
Since Tang Yan, Tang Yingying, and Han Xuan approached this crowded square, the two government officials who had been discussing on the side were still chattering about something just now, but at this moment, they were like ducks stuck in the throat of the owner, and they couldn't say anything!
Because, the terrifying spiritual pressure that diffused from Tang Yan directly crushed the will of the two of them, and it was already good that they didn't kneel directly to the ground, but the two of them didn't dare to speak anymore, their legs were trembling, and the cold sweat behind them had already wet their clothes at some point!
"Father!"
Feeling the cold chill emanating from Tang Yan's body, it was the first time in so many years that Tang Yingying felt the killing intent in this kind and lovely father!
The jade hand was on his father's shoulder, and then it also interrupted Tang Yan's slightly out-of-control feelings!
Glancing at Tang Yingying, whose eyes were gloomy, Han Xuan pulled the former and followed Tang Yan in the eyes of everyone! In the eyes of the Tang family, these few steps were like the humiliation they had received in the past few years, and the road ahead was unknown!
"Don't be afraid, isn't there still me? Just keep your heart in your stomach!"
Walking through the flow of people, Han Xuan still didn't forget to comfort Tang Yingying. Hearing this, the girl raised her head and looked at the young man of the same age as herself in front of her, an inexplicable sense of security arose, and a mist quietly appeared in her smart eyes!
......
On the pentagonal platform, there are five seats. At this time, four of the seats were already in place, and they were the four Zhao, Wu, Chu, and Wei who had arrived before, and there was still one vacant seat left that no one was sitting in. However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, this position without a seat seems quite out of place in this solemn five-sided pavilion!
However, all those present are the top people in this outer courtyard, whether it is status or power and financial resources, they are all ordinary people, so everyone is sitting quietly on their seats, or drinking tea or closing their eyes, waiting for the last family to arrive!
"It's coming!" At a certain moment, Zhao Yan's eyes, who had been closing his eyes and not speaking, suddenly opened, and the essence in his eyes without the slightest cloudiness flashed, and at the same time, a hoarse voice sounded in the hall.
"I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Almost instantly, an apologetic voice sounded from the door of the venue! Then everyone's eyes were focused, and Tang Yan, who was staring at the pentagonal seat, had different expressions! At this moment, after three years, the five major families in the outer courtyard gathered again!!
"Let's take a seat when you come! Start as soon as possible and finish as soon as possible, don't you! You say I'm an old bone, but I'm not as good as you young people!"
didn't even glance at Tang Yan and his party, so Zhao Yan said to himself, and then everyone echoed hypocritically!
