I'm Liu Bei.

At the bottom of the mountain, about 10,000 people were crowded along the long holy river. Most of the tribesmen were dressed in thick green cloth stained with rust. This kind of cloth has been seen in the third brother's house, and it is used to make iron. Wearing it on the body can reduce the damage of fire slag when striking iron.

A three-foot-high wooden platform was erected on the bank of the river. There were several people standing on the stage, directing the crowd to move.

When the crowd saw Li Fujun coming, they had already consciously moved out of a thin passage. Yaya went straight down the passage.

An old man with gray hair was tied up and sturdy, carried by two strong men, and leaned step by step towards the center of the river.

"Grandpa!" Yaya ran into the river beach and pulled her grandfather to prevent her from being carried away. "Stop me."

"Old ghost Zhao, Lao Tzu will not let you go if he is a ghost. You are ruthless and betrayed Lao Tzu. Betrayed Lao Tzu! The third grandfather yelled.

What's going on? Isn't the elder of the Zhao clan really doing a fake show, taking the opportunity to raise his prestige in the clan?

No wonder on the mountain just now, Li Yaya, Li Fujun and Bai Liru were so nervous, they must have known the person of the Zhao family elder, and they had already expected this kind of situation.

"Shut his mouth." On the wooden platform in front of the shore, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe ordered the strong man carrying the third grandfather to stuff a ball of linen into the third grandfather's mouth.

"Who is he?" I tilted my head towards Li Fujun.

"Elder Zhao Youfu of the Zhao family."

Damn, the name of the good soil! Zhao Youfu wants to use the punishment of the third grandfather to force Yaya to hand over the token. If the token doesn't appear again, the third grandfather will be drowned. Unexpectedly, the third grandfather thought that he could use Zhao Youfu to sit in the position of the elder of the Li family, but he never thought that he would become the object of being used, and his life was also worried.

"You let me go, let go!" The girl pulled and cried.

"Yaya, your father lost the patriarch token, and we sent the third grandfather to meet your father at the holy daughter and ask where the token was placed. Don't stop here, otherwise the old man will be punished heavily. Zhao Youfu drank.

"You are clearly plotting against the position of the patriarch." Baili Ru said hurriedly and shouted at Zhao Youfu.

"The whole clan is here, and everyone can tell whether the old man is trying to do wrong. The old man never thought of becoming a patriarch. It's just that the dog is bent on asking for the life of the people, and everyone expects it, but your father is paranoid and unfair, and he lost the token. This is a great disrespect to the ancestors of the four clans, and it is even more unbearable to the ancestors of the Li family, he is not a competent patriarch. Now that the girl refuses to marry the dog, is it necessary to let the people never have a patriarch? ”

Zhao Youfu said that the head is the Tao.

"Sink into the Holy River and recover the token!" A sturdy young man beside Zhao Youfu yelled. Then the people in the audience roared in response, and the momentum was overwhelming, as if the surface of the holy river was about to vibrate.

"Zhao Youfu's son Zhao Zangfeng." Li Fujun gritted his teeth in a low voice and said.

"If the token appears, you let Grandpa go?" Yaya asked.

"That's nature. The token appeared, and the third grandfather didn't have to go to the holy river to ask the incompetent patriarch. Zhao Youfu said coldly in a loud voice.

Li Fujun nodded at me, then walked up to the high platform, came to Zhao Youfu's side, and raised his voice to the whole clan with both hands: "My people are so good, the token is here." ”

There was an uproar. Especially the father and son of the Zhao family, looking at him in astonishment.

Bailiru led me to the high platform. Walking along the narrow path that everyone had aside, I walked up to the high platform step by step.

Li Fujun knelt down first: "Respectfully ask for the patriarch token!" ”

Then Bailiru also knelt down: "Listen to the patriarch's orders." ”

I took the token out of my arms with both hands and held it to my chest, causing an uproar in the audience: thousands of people fell to their knees in unison. The sound of "Listen to the Order" came and went.

The father and son of the Zhao family stretched their necks in surprise and looked at the authenticity, and then knelt down with great dissatisfaction. Even the two strong men who were carrying the third grandfather left the third grandfather and quickly ran ashore to kneel down on their own.

The third grandfather fell into the water, and Yaya hurriedly helped him up. Fortunately, the water of the river beach where he was located was only waist-deep, otherwise he would have been washed away by the rushing river.

"This is Uncle Li's personal successor, who is the king of Zhongshan Jing in the Han Dynasty, and his surname is Liu Mingbei Xuande." Li Fujun shouted.

"You say that he is the successor appointed by Patriarch Li, what proof do you have?" Zhao Youfu asked dissatisfiedly.

"The token in your hand is proof of that."

"Is there a witness? Or a bamboo slip suicide note? "It was a fat old man who spoke.

Bai Xiaoru knew that I didn't know me, so she whispered: "Elder Shan." ”

Seeing that Li Fujun didn't speak, Elder Shan arrogantly puffed up his big belly and said, "Joke, can it be proved that Patriarch Li ordered it just because he is holding a token?" If this is the case, Wang Yue's traitor snatched the token, can it also be said that he was hand-picked by Patriarch Li? ”

"How can this compare?" Li Fujun reprimanded.

"Could it be that if he comes to rob him, can anyone in our clan stop it?" Elder Shan asked rhetorically with a tense face.

There was also a question from the audience. It seems that the hearts of the people are now oriented towards them. And since Wang Yue in their mouths is so powerful, then could it be that he is the number one martial arts master in the history of the Three Kingdoms?

"After this person claims to be the King of Zhongshan Jing, he must be a spy sent by the court to steal our pure fire technology. As an elder, you actually helped outsiders to rebel against the clan, and you are a traitor like Wang Yue. Zhao Youfu scolded and ordered the strong man next to him to surround the three of us.

I didn't expect his old mouth to be so eloquent. It seems that they can't rely on them, and I have to make up my own mind. Just as he was about to speak, Li Fujun stopped and said, "Don't move, I have my own way." Turning to everyone: "What you just said is also your guess, is there any evidence?" ”

"The token has been missing for a whole year, isn't it because you have a ghost in your heart, why did it appear at this time?" Shan Youfu asked.

"That's because Yaya is filial, and Brother Liu is a person who values love and righteousness. Therefore, he did not show up during the filial piety period, but hid in the mountains to guard filial piety. Now the time of filial piety has just passed a full year. According to the ancestral rules, Yaya can only get married now. ”

"Why did he get married?" The chubby Elder Shan asked.

"Didn't Elder Shan forget? Uncle Li announced before his death that whoever can marry Yaya will be the hand-picked heir. The whole clan knows about this, but you are the only one who doesn't admit it? ”

Elder Shan was speechless.

Li Fujun said this, didn't he want Yaya to marry me? Or is he going to be the patriarch himself? I believe that this is his delaying tactic, as long as I sit on the position of patriarch today, anything in the future will be much easier. It will not be difficult not to marry Yaya at that time.

"Then it depends on whether Yaya is willing to marry him." Zhao Zangfeng said coldly in a very low voice, and his eyes swept the audience. The third grandfather was lifted up again and walked towards the center of the White River. And Yaya was stopped by two big men.

"What are you doing here? The token has appeared. Are you going to lynch? Li Fujun said urgently.

"Elder Li misunderstood, the old man just wanted the third grandfather to go to the holy river to ask Patriarch Li if there was a hand-picked heir. Also, it is not certain whether Yaya is voluntarily marrying this outsider. ”

Zhao Youfu stared at me with evil eyes, which was very annoying. He turned to everyone and said loudly, "The previous patriarch didn't have any instructions when he went. Now we will trouble the third grandfather to lie down in the holy river, ask clearly, and then come back to tell us whether this matter is true or not. ”
