Chapter 124: A Counterattack
As soon as he heard that someone knew the news of Mu Wanling and Mu Chen, Mu Feng immediately said, "Let that person in!" After speaking, he sat down on the Taishi chair again and drank tea. At this moment, his heart was extremely excited, if he could catch the two of them, his plan would be implemented more smoothly, and tomorrow he would be the patriarch of the Mu clan. Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
After a while, his subordinates led a young man in, this person had a smile on his face, a pair of white palms naturally hung down on both sides of his waist, and after walking in, he stood quietly in the middle of the hall, waiting for Mu Feng's question. Mu Feng glanced at the person who came in, and did not speak immediately, but observed with his vicious eyes, trying to see something from it, but this young man didn't look scared at all, and his expression was calm, as if Mu Feng didn't look at him.
"What's your name?" Mu Feng asked, looking at it for a while. "My name is Morun. Morun replied very calmly. "Where did you find Mu Chen and Mu Wanling, brother and sister?" "In Liuyang City, they asked me to bring something to the elders. "What is it, take it out and take a look?" Mo Lun unhurriedly took out the wooden token that Mu Wanling had made himself from his arms, and said: "Mu Wanling asked me to bring you a message, the real wooden token is in her hands, and you won't be rampant for long." After saying that, he threw the wooden token to Mu Feng, and then turned around, and with a movement of his feet, the young man disappeared in an instant, and a black dot appeared at the door, but disappeared in a blink of an eye, and a mini monkey appeared on the beam of the roof.
Mu Feng and Mouton watched the young man disappear in front of their eyes, not because their cultivation was not enough. It's that the young man left too suddenly. I haven't waited for the idea of chasing it out. He's gone. Seeing the wooden token in his hand, Mu Feng said to himself: "They have a wooden token in their hands, so is mine a fake? No way, I stole it from Mu Shicheng." ”
Then Mouton came over and asked, "Big brother, are they cheating on us, so that we can mess up our own situation, and they will benefit from it?" "There's a good chance you're talking about. In any case, we have to do what we planned tomorrow, or we will lose all our efforts. "But if the wooden token in their hand is real, it will be difficult for us to convince the public?" "No, the wooden token in my hand was stolen from Mu Shicheng more than ten years ago, could they have thought that it would not be possible today?" "If this is the case, then what are they doing today?" "I think it is just to delay time and find a way to buy time for them." "But I'm still a little worried!"
"You wait here for a while, and I'll take a look. After saying that, he walked to the back hall without waiting for Mouton's answer. What he didn't know was that there was a baby monkey trailing behind. After Mu Feng came to the back hall, he closed the door. Came to the bookshelf, took down the books in the third grid, put his hand inside, and pressed it, a landscape painting on the wall opposite him slowly moved to the side, revealing a dark hole, Mu Feng walked to the wall, reached out and took out an object from the dark hole, it was exactly the same as the wooden token that Mo Lun gave him, seeing that the wooden token was still there, Mu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really a lie to me, do you want to delay the time, then you just wait." Mu Feng restored this place to its original state and returned to the hall.
"Big brother, how is it?" Mouton obviously knew the purpose of Mu Feng's departure, but he didn't say it explicitly. "Everything is planned, there will be no accidents, they just want to delay time. After saying that, the two brothers laughed.
When Mo Lun returned to their residence, he did not see Mu Chen and Mu Wanling, the two siblings, and they did not return until midnight, and Mo Lun did not ask where they had gone.
The next morning, as soon as they got up, they saw that the people outside were gathering in the square of the Holy Heaven City, and when they asked, they found out that Mu Feng had given an order, all the members of the Mu Clan should gather in the square, and he wanted to announce an important matter, but what was not explained in advance, but Mo Lun, Mu Chen, and Mu Wanling already knew. They were not in a hurry, and after breakfast, they rushed to the square and stood in an inconspicuous place.
In front of the square was a high platform, where Mu Feng and Mouton and the others were standing, and behind them were some other members of the Mu Clan, and from their expressions, it could be seen that these people didn't know what to do here, and they looked very dazed. The closest to Gaotai are also the people of the Mu clan, but they are not the core members of the clan, they are some branch families or side branches, and then there are some more famous people with foreign surnames, and the outermost is the people of Shengtian City.
After three poles of the sun, Mu Feng walked to the front on the high platform and said slowly: "I gathered everyone together today because I have something to announce to you. As soon as Mu Feng's words came out, the people below immediately quieted down, all wondering what the Great Elder was going to announce, and some people wanted to know, why didn't the patriarch appear here, could this matter have something to do with the patriarch? Seeing that everyone quickly quieted down, Mu Feng felt very useful, and continued: " Our future patriarch has long been decided, but we all know that Mu Chen is a very mediocre person, now he is twenty years old, and he is still only the strength of the early stage of the transformation of gods, how can such a future patriarch bring long-term development to our Mu clan?"
As soon as he said this, it was like an explosion below, saying everything and his expressions were different, "What does the Great Elder mean by that, do you want to abolish this future patriarch?" "Did Mu Chen offend the Great Elder that he said that?" "Does the Great Elder want to be the next patriarch?" "Don't say it, Mu Chen is really mediocre, my son is only nineteen years old, and he is already the strength of the early stage of the transformation of the gods, if he reaches the age of twenty, he will definitely be able to catch up with Mu Chen, and this ability is really not suitable for being the future patriarch." ”
The people behind Mu Feng were the only ones who stood there without any expression, even Mu Yu and Mu Zhou frowned, the two of them didn't know what Mu Feng wanted to do today, and the other family members had even more expressions. But in front of Mu Feng, he didn't dare to discuss and exchange opinions. Even Mu Yu and Mu Zhou, who are also elders, are not good at questioning Mu Feng in front of so many people. Of course, Mu Feng could hear the following discussions, and then continued: "The reason why Mu Shicheng made Mu Chen the next patriarch is that he wants his family to always control our family and control the family's cultivation resources, but this is not a good thing for our entire family, Mu Chen's mediocrity will make our family not develop well, once a foreign clan comes to invade us, who can stand up and receive us, does it depend on that mediocre Mu Chen?"
Mu Fengkou is like a river and talks about the impact that Mu Chen will have on the family as the next patriarch. Don't say it, Mu Feng's theory can really stand up, and everyone agrees with Mu Feng's statement. "Great Elder, who do you say will be the next patriarch?" I don't know who asked below. When everyone heard this, they all fell silent again, and they all wanted to hear who the next patriarch in the Great Elder's heart would be. But the cunning Mu Feng said: "Virtuous and capable people are competent!" "Do you have a candidate?" "I don't have the right candidate yet, but we can choose from the young people in our clan. Mu Feng said as if he had thought about it a long time ago.
"Do you know what the patriarch does?" someone asked aloud in one corner. This is also a question that most of the people present want to ask. "Patriarch, he's a deceitful person!" Mu Feng said righteously. The people behind him were stunned, how dare the Great Elder say that about the patriarch?"Let me ask everyone, how did he become the patriarch? Did he have a wooden token when he was the patriarch? Did you see it?" Mu Feng asked, and even the family members at the core of his mouth kept shaking their heads, because they believed that the next patriarch only needed the consent of the original patriarch and the elder, and they didn't have to take out the wooden token, but they also knew that whoever had this wooden token in his hand would be qualified to be the patriarch.
"I'll tell you the facts, his position as the patriarch should have been mine, and the wooden token has always been in my father's hands, but for the position of the patriarch, our current patriarch's father killed my father, and we have not been able to find the wooden token, so Mu Shicheng naturally became the patriarch, but recently when I was sorting out my father's relics, I found the wooden token, and I learned the truth of the matter, do you say that Mu Shicheng is not a person who deceives the world and steals his name?"
"Is what he said true?" Now some people began to doubt, "Is this really what the patriarch did now to kill his own brother in order to be the patriarch?" "Is there any evidence for what you said?" "Of course there is evidence, the real wooden token is in my hands, and the ones in the hands of Mu Chen and Mu Wanling are fake, this is the evidence. After speaking, Mu Feng took out a wooden card from his arms, held it up, and saw the wooden token, and the people below knelt on the ground with a hula, this is a token of the Mu clan, and seeing this token is equivalent to seeing the ancestor of the Mu clan. Seeing people's reactions, Mu Feng was very proud.
"You say, what should the current patriarch do?" Mu Feng asked, looking at the clansman kneeling on the ground. "Kill for your life!" "Quitting the position of the patriarch!" "The Great Elder is our new patriarch!" Looking at the passionate crowd, a sly smile appeared on Mu Feng's face.
"Come on, bring Mu Shicheng up!" Mu Feng commanded, his subordinates brought up a gray-haired old man from the backstage, Mu Chen was about to rush to the stage as soon as he saw his father, but he was grabbed by Mo Lun, and said a few words in his ear, Mu Chen's love was stable and down, and after a while, Mu Chen took off the hat on his head and strode towards the stage (to be continued......)
