Chapter 515: Si Fenglie's overtures
"Hmm. Qing Xuzi nodded slightly.
"I'm in favor of it too. Zhou Yang also said.
As soon as he spoke, four members of the seven-member Council of Elders had agreed, and the matter was settled.
"Agreed. ”
"Agreed. ”
"Agreed. The other three nodded helplessly.
"Okay, that's it. As for the selection of the commander and the deputy leader, let your elders' council decide, and report the results to me. There is still something to do in this seat, so go first, and you will continue to deliberate here. Qing Xuzi made a final decision, and then drifted away.
"Master!" Zhou Yang secretly praised in his heart.
Previously, there were four leaders in the six-member Elders' Council, how did they agree?
But now it's different, six people have become seven, Jiang Sheng and Gu Deyang are Qingxuzi's henchmen, Xie Ba is also looking at Qingxuzi everywhere, what about himself, can you do it if you don't agree?
Four to three, this is a complete victory, not only has it done, but it does not let people say that he is arbitrary, this trick of scheming is high!
The candidate proposed by Xie Ba was indeed Liu Xi, and there was also a deputy commander, which was quickly agreed upon and reported to the city lord for approval.
When the meeting dispersed, Si Fenglie unexpectedly invited Zhou Yang to drink.
"Brother Zhou, judging from today's events, the wind direction is a little wrong!" After a few glasses of wine, Si Fenglie said mysteriously.
"Oh, Elder Si, I am a foreigner, and I don't want to be dark, and I hope that the elders will teach me. Zhou Yang was pretending to be confused.
"Hehe, with my brother's cleverness, I can't see through the deep meaning? You are a celebrity in front of the city lord, it is said that I shouldn't talk too much, but I and Brother Zhou hit it off at first sight, and I feel more brotherly, so I don't vomit and be unhappy! Si Fenglie shook his head and said.
"Hehe, Elder Si is serious, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"I'm afraid the future will not be easy!" Si Fenglie drank all the wine in the cup, and said a little worriedly.
Zhou Yang drank to himself without words.
"The City Lord's Mansion has already released rumors before, and intends to let me wait for the position of full-time elder, what is the difference between this and seizing power? Today, Commander Xie took the initiative to resign, but he was forcing me to wait for the three of them!" Si Fenglie put down his wine glass and said indignantly.
"Maybe the city lord really understands your hard work, so he has this intention!"
"Alas, the original reason, my brother should know it. Don't talk about it, brother, I really want to make you a friend!" After that, Si Fenglie picked up the wine jug, poured it for Zhou Yang first, and then poured it for himself.
"I also want to make you a friend, I'm new here, and I still need a lot of care from Elder Si!"
"Okay, it's okay to have a brother, in the future, in Jiemeng City, you and I will be allies, and brothers!
"I'm Brother Jingsi!"
"!"
"Brother, in your opinion, what should I do next?" After drinking this glass of wine, the relationship between the two became much closer, Si Fenglie put down the cup and said to Zhou Yang.
"Brother Si, if it were me, I would take the initiative to resign as commander!" Zhou Yang's words made Si Fenglie a little stunned.
"Brother Si, don't look at me like this, I treat you as a brother, so I have these words. Think about it, since the city lord has this kind of thought, can you a few of you go through it?" Zhou Yang asked rhetorically.
"This, no. Si Fenglie hesitated, but still shook his head.
"Since you can't, then take the initiative to resign, so that everyone is happy, and judging from today's events, the city lord still has a deep meaning in it!"
"Don't have a deep meaning?"
"Exactly. The Great Elder took the initiative to resign, and the chief and deputy commanders he recommended passed smoothly, do you think about why?" Zhou Yang nodded.
"This ...... Are you saying that after we take the initiative to resign, it will be the same?" Si Fenglie finally understood what Zhou Yang meant.
"As it should be, and your sphere of influence will not change for some time. Take you as an example, the person who recommended yourself means that the control of Beicheng is still in your hands, so why not!" Zhou Yang further explained.
"Brother, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! Foolish brother admires, admires it so much!" Si Feng Liemao suddenly opened his mouth and praised with a thumbs up.
"Where, what Brother Si said made me embarrassed, you were just in it, ignoring something for the time being. The younger brother is an outsider, and sometimes the more an outsider, the clearer he may see. Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"My brother is right, I'm waiting in the middle of the game, and I'm blinded!
"I'm Brother Jingsi, do it!"
"Alas, isn't this Elder Si and Elder Zhou! In Xia Fa Jiuxiao, I have seen two elders!" Just as the two were talking happily, Fa Jiuxiao, the master of the Fa Clan, walked into the tavern and seemed to have bumped into him by chance.
"Oh, it's Brother Fa, why don't you come here for two drinks too?" Si Fenglie said with a smile.
"Hehe, I often drink here, since the two of you are talking about things, then I won't bother here!" Fa Jiuxiao gave a salute and turned around to leave.
"Hey, since we met, let's sit down and have two drinks together, don't you say, brother?" Si Fenglie turned his head and asked Zhou Yang.
"Hehe, it's better to meet by chance, Dharma friends, please sit down. Zhou Yang said lightly.
His performance of the two is insightful.
"Thank you, two elders!" Fa Jiuxiao was flattered and hurriedly thanked him.
"I salute the two elders!" After the man added dishes and chopsticks, Fa Jiuxiao stood up, raised the wine glass above his head, and toasted the two of them.
"We are all old acquaintances, you respect Elder Zhou first!" Si Fenglie waved his hand.
"Yes. I respect Elder Zhou, I did it, you are free!" Fa Jiuxiao drank it all.
Zhou Yang really only took a small sip and put down the wine glass.
"By the way, I heard that Brother Fa and Elder Zhou had some minor misunderstandings, what is going on?" After Fa Jiuxiao sat down again, Si Fenglie asked.
"It's all Xia's fault, I inadvertently offended Elder Zhou, and I hereby express my deep apologies to Elder Zhou!" Fa Jiuxiao hurriedly stood up again and bowed down.
"This person is the master of a hall, he can be so humble, and he is willing to put down his body and apologize, it seems that the Fa Clan Hall can stand in the realm for a thousand years, and it is not without strengths!" Zhou Yang secretly praised.
"Fa Dao friends are serious, let him go in the past. "Since people have invited Si Fenglie and have such a low profile, then give him some face, and he will inevitably deal with him in the future.
"Brother Fa, Elder Zhou is so open-minded, he doesn't even give three glasses of apology wine in a row!" Si Fenglie said busily.
"Yes, yes, thank you Elder Zhou for sparing Fa Shi Tang, and doing it first as a respect!" After that, Fa Jiuxiao drank three cups in a row.
"Hehe, Brother Si, drink together, drink together!" Zhou Yang also drank all the wine in the cup.
"Elder Zhou, this is a little bit of meaning, it can be regarded as compensation for you, Elder Wanwang smiled!" Fa Jiuxiao handed over a storage bag with both hands.
"Elder Si has spoken, so don't mention that matter. You don't need this, you put it away. Zhou Yang didn't pick up the storage bag.
"Brother, if you don't accept it, you won't forgive Brother Fa, it will make him feel uneasy!" Si Fenglie persuaded.
"It's, okay. Zhou Yang hesitated slightly, then took the storage bag, and his divine sense swept it, and there were ten quasi-magic weapons inside.
The next day, Si Fenglie handed over his resignation to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion sent Gu Deyang, the elder and chief administrator, to personally come to the door to save him, but Si Fenglie's attitude was very resolute.
Gu Deyang had no choice but to return to his life.
On the same day, the city lord sent out a metaphor, praised Si Fenglie, and authorized him to recommend a successor.
Then Yao Daren resigned, and finally Rong Gengjin, the commander of Xicheng, handed in his resignation, which was quickly approved, and authorized the two to recommend successors, which were uniformly handed over to the Council of Elders.
Zhou Yang didn't pay attention to these things, but concentrated on refining the array flags and array disks of the Six Soul Gathering Arrays.
Due to the abundance of materials, he refined three sets in one go, because the Spirit Gathering Array could be used at any time, so he was prepared.
As soon as he was busy, a message came from the City Lord's Mansion that the Council of Elders was on business.
The result was naturally not what he expected, and the topic was the selection of the three major commanders and deputy commanders.
Except for the deputy commander proposed by Rong Gengjin, all the other candidates passed, including Murong Yue proposed by Yao Daren.
The reason why Rong Gengjin's proposal was rejected was because the people's anger was too great.
On the day of the meeting, this person actually robbed the people's daughter on the street, and the bitter lord sued the city lord's mansion directly, and the elders' meeting was interrupted, which made Rong Gengjin very faceless and annoyed, and immediately revoked this person's candidacy.
Except for Rong Gengjin, the rest of the people were very happy.
Si Fenglie admired Zhou Yang's vision even more, and invited him to the banquet again and again, but he declined.
Yangtianfang City has officially started construction, but it has been in the secrecy stage, and there is no external publicity in Jianfang City.
Since rebuilding is going on everywhere, no one pays attention to the two streets of Zhou Yang.
Wangtian Pavilion's business is also good, at this stage, the best things sold are first, construction materials, and second, healing elixirs and cultivation materials.
For the latter, Zhou Yang was prescient, and the spirit stone was not used in the reconstruction of the market, so he could free up a lot of top stock, and the volume of goods was very sufficient.
Murong Yue took office, and with Yao Daren's care, he was directly responsible for maintaining order in the area around Yangtianfang City, and he had 5,000 city guards under his command.
In order to consolidate his position and gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, Zhou Yang also transferred Mu San and Mu Wu to the city guards, and served as captains under Murong Yue respectively.
The Wangtian Pavilion in the center of the city was handed over to Mu Jiu, a subordinate who had recently broken through the late Tianyuan period, and he was in charge of security matters.
In order to accompany talents as soon as possible, Zhou Yang spared no expense to improve the strength of several of Murong Yue's subordinates, and recently two more were about to break through the late Tianyuan period.
After arranging everything, Zhou Yang began to devote his energy to Lingtian.
He first placed the six Spirit Gathering Arrays in the center of the mansion, that is, in the garden.
The aura of the five elements in the air gradually gathered towards the mansion, and the concentration of aura in the mansion began to increase, but in just three days, it had reached about five times that of the outside world, and it was still slowly increasing.
The spiritual field in the mansion has been completely transformed into the best second-level spiritual field, and under Zhou Yang's continuous improvement, it is estimated that it will be able to be upgraded to the third-grade level after a period of time.
