Chapter 168: The Assembly of the Five Clans

The scene of the Five Clans Conference was not as grand as imagined, and the venue was held in the Dayin Mansion in Fallen Leaf Town, and the number of participants was not large. In the entire hall, there are only seven tables, and in the center is Ba Niu, on his right hand is Lu Xinghe, and on his left is Liu Xilie. Below are four tables, two on each side. The top on the right hand side is the current leader of the Heavenly Dao Clan, that is, Metro, the fifth son of Mai Tiecane. This legendary person is now finally sitting in front of everyone, and behind him, there are two people standing, one is his current chief of guard, Xue Changrui, and the other is his current general Yu Daozong. The Rain Dao Sect also escaped the catastrophe and found the descendants of the Mai family.

Under the head of the right hand is the Shinto clan's Dong Yue Feng, he is the son of Dong Lingcao, the one who inherited all his rights, however, he is not messing with the Mai family now, but has pulled up a team by himself. Behind him, there were two people standing in the same place, his eldest son Winter Snow and his younger son Winter Limit.

At the top of his left hand was the leader of the Humane Race, Qubiawu, an old fellow who was not dead yet, and who appeared in front of everyone in great health. Behind him were his younger brother Qu Xiaoxuan and his brother-in-law Lu Yulong. It is worth mentioning that this Lu Yulong is actually Lu Xinghe's nephew.

On the left is Luo Jitong, the leader of the Ghost Dao clan, and behind him are his close relatives, one is his son Luo Shaochuan, and the other is his nephew Luo Wenbo. There are only fifteen people in the five major family gatherings, except for Lu Xinghe, who is a person outside the family, the rest of the people are somewhat related. They came here for different purposes, but there was one thing they agreed on, that is, the Li family had replaced the Mai family and became the new master of Dongduo. The rest of the matter is only one question, and that is their place in this new regime.

If they hadn't been invited to this meeting, they might not have thought of getting a piece of this huge achievement, but now that they have invited them, they have that ambition. They suddenly found that their last name was remarkable, and they suddenly found themselves different. This kind of emotion permeates everyone's hearts, except for the Mai family, all they feel is loss. A dynasty has ended in their hands, and now they have to submit to others, and that feeling is very obvious.

The first to speak, of course, was the organizer of this meeting, Ba Niu. He is now in the driver's seat, and all problems need to be solved through him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to discuss state affairs out of respect for our former friendship. A long time ago, the five major families jointly built Dongduo, and then various situations occurred, Dongduo was finally governed by the Mai family and the Dong family, and the other families retreated into the background, or stopped interfering with political affairs at all. However, we cannot stand idly by while the calamity of heaven has fallen on Todor, so I am confronting the enemy on the Akiyama Peninsula, and you are in your own position with the enemy. Fortunately, my Li family, since the raising of troops, has been invincible, and then has today's territory, but the Li family does not dare to be greedy for the merits of the sky, and wants to share it with you, I don't know what you want"?

The first to answer him, of course, could not be Metro and Dong Yuefeng, they both have their own political opinions, but also to consider their own interests, only Luo Jitong, the Luo family they came without burden, and from the bottom of their hearts they were grateful for Ba Niu's respect for them, so they stood on Ba Niu's side as soon as they came up.

"The Li family's exploits are obvious to all, so why should Lord Taiwei be too humble? Without the Li family, how could there be the current Dongduo? Even in the heyday of history, Dongduo's territory has never been so huge, and the achievements of the Li family can be said to be unprecedented, as for whether there is no one to come, we can wait and see. Since the Li family has revived the destroyed Dongduo, then the Li family is the rightful owner of Dongduo, and I don't think anyone will have any objection to this." When he said this, he paused deliberately, glanced at Metro and Dong Yuefeng out of the corner of his eye, and saw that they did not react before continuing: "Lord Taiwei invited us to discuss state affairs, nothing more than respect for us, in fact, what is there that Lord Taiwei himself can't solve?" I, Luo Jitong, only represent the size of the Ghost Dao clan, loyally support the Dongduo Dynasty of the Li family, and I am willing to follow by the side of Lord Taiwei and look forward to Lord Taiwei."

Luo Jitong's speech undoubtedly pushed the situation to the side of Ba Niu's favor, in this regard, Ba Niu smiled deeply at him, Luo Jitong also bowed down, and then sat down again.

The situation that is favorable to Ba Niu is naturally very unfavorable to the Mai family, they are the emperors of the previous dynasty, and they have to come out to fight for a place no matter what, and now the ghost Dao clan is on the side of Ba Niu, and the humane clan has not yet expressed its position, the only thing they can hope for is the Shinto clan. The Dong family has ruled with them for hundreds of years, and the entanglements and friendships in this are naturally very deep. In fact, the Dong family was indeed on their side.

"The Li family's contribution to the unification of Dongduo is indeed obvious to all", Dong Yuefeng followed Luo Jitong's words: "It is indeed a great achievement to be able to expand the territory of Dongduo, but in Jun Yanjun, in the ministers and ministers. Before that, the Li family had always been a vassal of the Mai family, although they later established a state on the Akiyama Peninsula and now in Kyoto, but the courtiers are courtiers after all, and the king is still a king. The Mai family is still alive and the king's banner has not fallen, is it too early to conclude that the Li family is the new owner of Dong Duo?"

Luo Jitong listened to his words, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "The Mai family lost the world, and they could have taken it back by themselves, why didn't they do this?" Is it not enough ability, or is it not enough? Now that the Li family has recaptured Dongduo, isn't it ridiculous that the Mai family still wants to sit back and enjoy its success? The world is not a world of one family, and capable people live in it. If the Mai family really thinks that he is the master of Dongduo, then why didn't there be some noise when the Li family recovered Dongduo? Why didn't the Winter family make some noise? In other words, if Lord Taiwei does not organize this meeting, then will our four families be qualified to come to him and ask him for a place in politics?"

The latter few sentences were said extremely sharply, so that Dong Yuefeng, who has always been able to speak well, was blushing and speechless, and Metro did not dare to say a word more.

It seems that the legitimacy of the Li family does not need to be discussed, and the next thing to be discussed is, of course, the role of the five major families in the new regime. Ba Niu's proposal is to participate in politics, but there is no absolute right, to put it bluntly, that is, the other four families, in the new political system, have the right to participate, have the right to speak, but have no right to decide. This is also unacceptable to the Mai family and the Dong family.

"If that's the case, what's the point of us here?" Dong Yuefeng said very excitedly: "Just to verify the new position of the Li family in the Dongduo Dynasty?" Since Your Excellency has invited us and intends to listen to our opinions, our opinions should still have a certain degree of merit. On behalf of the Shinto people, I would like to express my opposition to your proposal. If we are not able to have the right to decide in the new regime, then we will quit this regime and live the life we want."

"I also object". Metro, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Although our Mai family has not made any great achievements in Dongdor, we have led Dongduo to glory for hundreds of years, and we have also experienced hardships with Dongduo people. I don't think our Mai family's contribution to Dongduo is anything remarkable, but it's by no means dispensable. The Li family did restore the vitality of Dongduo when we were at our weakest, and indeed did what our Mai family never did, and I am willing to admit their status in the current Dongduo, but if we want to be subordinated to others and be obedient servants, with all due respect, I can't do it, and the Heavenly Dao clan can't do it."

The situation once again reached a stalemate, the Shinto clan and the Heavenly Dao clan stood together, and the ghost Dao clan and the demon Dao clan stood together. As the leader of the humane race, Qubiawu has undoubtedly become the most high-profile one.

"I don't want to take sides on either side", Qu Biawu said very calmly: "However, I want to ask the Mai family's son, if the Li family retreats to the Qiushan Peninsula and gives you the current great rivers and mountains, do you have the confidence to govern well?"
