Chapter 511: Polemic
Less than a few days after the famous general of the Daewoo Kingdom, Kubanna, was captured alive and taken away, a decree from the water capital fell from the sky and reached the hands of Lan Qiu, the lord of the refining city.
Thus, a polemical meeting began. The so-called polemic conference is held headed by the city lord, and the identification guild and the martial arts association are coordinated, and then the objects of invitation are naturally the major family forces in the refining city, as well as famous people, can participate.
The battle of the edict is not only landed in the refining city, but also the medium and large cities of the entire Yamato Kingdom, and then each city lord has to deal with this matter according to the meaning of the edict.
After Lan Qiu, the lord of the Refining Weapon City, received the edict, he immediately made an invitation letter and sent it to the major families in the Refining City.
The Xiao family, who made the deal, also obtained an invitation letter, which clearly invited Xiao Yun to go, but did not mention Qin Nan. As for the Gu family, the Zhou family, and the Li family, there are also invitations, and all the families have them, and it should be said that this polemic is not aimed at the various allied forces, but at the major families.
At first, the major families ignored this invitation, but after the news of the famous general Kubernan being captured alive in Sifang City, everyone began to pay attention to this invitation.
Besides, this invitation is not the meaning of the city lord Lanqiu alone, it can be said that it represents the empire, so it is necessary to go to the city lord's mansion.
Moreover, this debate is coordinated by the Martial Arts Association and the Appraisal Guild, and the face of these two must be given no matter what.
So, three days later, the city lord's mansion Lan's house, the school martial arts field.
Because of the debate between all the family forces in the City Lord's Mansion and the Refining Weapon City today, there are hundreds of people in Lin Lin, and the number is too large, so the debate can only be held in the school martial arts field.
Because the people who came were all VIPs, either they had a lot of money or they were powerful, so the City Lord's Mansion cleaned up the school martial arts field in advance and kept it in good order, which seemed to be a real way of hospitality.
In the early morning, the sun was rising, and the Refining City was operating as usual. The City Lord's Mansion, a large number of family heads, and various celebrities who were invited, had gathered together, and the entire school martial arts field was in an uproar.
On the high platform, the city lord Lanqiu, as well as the branch leader of the Martial Arts Association, Yu Zhan, and the three elders of the Appraisal Guild sat in a row, sorting out the things on the table in front of them, and it could be seen that they were all busy.
The sun shone down, making the big names in the martial arts field lazy, most of them squinted, impatiently waiting for the next move of the city lord Lanqiu.
The reason why everyone was impatient was because this place was the City Lord's Mansion, and to be honest, no one was willing to give face to the City Lord's Mansion at all. And the reason why he is still here in the case of impatience is because of the Martial Arts Society and the Appraisal Guild.
Even, it can be said politely, the biggest reason why everyone can participate in this debate is because the Martial Arts Guild and the Appraisal Guild, the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion and the first two can be said to be worthless.
"All right, everyone, thank you for coming to this debate. I think everyone knows that Kublinan, the famous general of our Daewoo Kingdom, was captured alive in Sifang City, so the empire issued an edict to let the major cities debate, select or recommend people with ability and ability to go to the water capital, serve the empire, and fight against the barbarians on the Yamato side. ”
At this time, the city lord Lanqiu finally stood up and raised his voice and said.
Lan Qiu glanced at the people in the school martial arts field, and then said affectionately: "The country hates the family feud, which is more important, I think you all know in your hearts that the empire has issued a decree in the hope that you can give up your personal grudges and help the empire tide over this difficult time......
"It's okay, isn't it just a recommendation for merit, why do you say so much?" At this moment, someone in the crowd said sarcastically, and the tone was impatient.
As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed for a while, they looked at the city lord Lanqiu unpleasantly, and felt that what he did was superfluous.
A trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed on Lan Qiu's face, and he narrowed his eyes, in fact, he didn't want to jump over and smash this person's head with one palm, it was too disrespectful to others.
But Arashigaoka also knew the consequences of doing that, so he didn't dare, even if he was embarrassed, he had to endure it.
The forces in the Refining Weapon City are simply intricate, and they are by no means imaginable to ordinary people. From Lanqiu's point of view, you can get a glimpse of the current situation in Refining City.
At present, in this school martial arts field, except for a few families who did not come, most of the rest came, more than 200 people. But some families are not the head of the family himself, but an elder, or an inconspicuous figure in the family, and some send an old housekeeper to fool things.
Of course, these are only a few, most of them are still from the head of the family himself, especially the big family, compared with the big family, the temperament is different.
But from Lanqiu's current point of view, the pattern of more than two hundred people sitting is full of huge cats, and those family heads who have secretly formed an alliance are sitting together in a group, divided into several large pieces.
The largest piece, of course, is the alliance headed by the Luo family, which has gathered about fifty or sixty families, and its strength is extremely huge.
Although the son of the Luo family was killed some time ago, this did not affect the status of the Luo family in the hearts of everyone, so many families took refuge in the Luo family and formed an alliance together.
Secondly, the Ji family's alliance is the largest, with about forty families, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
After that, there were three or four alliances, large and small, some twenty or thirty, some more than a dozen, and the smallest should be the Xiao family headed by Qin Nan, there are only four.
At this time, Qin Nan also came, sitting with Xiao Yun, and there were also the heads of the Zhou family and the Li family next to them, several of them seemed to be isolated, and few other families were willing to sit with them.
"Huh. ”
Seeing someone sarcastic, Arashigaoka smiled, he knew that someone would do this, and it was not an unusual thing.
Originally, he wanted to say some sensational words to encourage the many families in Refining City to work for the empire together, but he thought too much, these families are all taking care of themselves, where are they willing to divide their forces to help the empire, what does the empire have to do with them?
Speaking of which, he can only blame him for being too incompetent, and he can't even manage the city well.
At this time, it is not easy for the Appraisal Guild and the Martial Arts Association to stand up and say anything, after all, they are just collaborating, and they can use their prestige to help Lanqiu gather these guys together, which can already be regarded as dutiful and give face to the empire.
Lanqiu licked his lips, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's get straight to the point, recommend talents, and ask for volunteers." ”
"It's long overdue, it's a waste of everyone's time to be so troublesome and troublesome. ”
