Chapter 438: The Dust Has Settled
Long Yan was trampled under the feet of the other party, which was equivalent to being humiliated, he wanted to resist, but unfortunately now he didn't even have the strength to resist, so he could only do it by the other party.
However, Long Yan was not reconciled, and a pair of angry eyes locked on Long Chen's body, wanting to devour him alive.
Everyone gasped, who would have thought that the once beautiful Great Elder would be trampled under the feet of others.
Seeing that the victory and defeat had been divided, the elders withdrew the barrier at the same time and looked up at Long Chen with awe.
"The patriarch is mighty!"
At this moment, a voice came out of the crowd, as if it ignited the entire crowd, and everyone shouted loudly.
"The patriarch is mighty!"
......
The voices were one after the other, which made many people present enthusiastic.
After a while, Long Chen suppressed his voice, his faint gaze fell on Long Yan at his feet, and said with a smile: "Great Elder, have you thought of today?"
These words just poked at Long Yan's heart, making all his sadness come up in one fell swoop.
The expression on his face changed as a result, from unwillingness to sadness, and finally to ridicule.
Under Long Chen's stunned gaze, he actually laughed like crazy, and Long Chen asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?"
Long Yan replied: "I laughed at myself, I worked hard for the dragon clan all my life, but I didn't expect to end up with this ending." I still laugh at you, you use such disgraceful means to get rid of dissidents, even if you win the power, you will lose the hearts and minds of the people. ”
Hearing this, Long Chen became displeased, but it only lasted for a moment, and he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Great Elder, you have lived in vain for so many years, don't you still understand? ”
This remark made Long Yan very emotional, he felt that Long Chen was right, he just didn't use power to be defeated.
At this point, Long Yan gradually accepted this reality, first sighed, and then said: "Since I have fallen into your hands, I want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
Long Chen saw that Long Yan was quite backbone, so he took his leg back, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You should know that the crime of rebellion is unforgivable, and if I don't kill you today, my prestige will not exist." ”
Long Yan naturally understood this truth, so he was ready to die, he stood up strongly, and his eyes fell on the elders who fell to the ground, his expression gloomy.
It's not a pity to die by himself, but it is difficult for Long Yan to accept these people who treat him wholeheartedly.
He looked at Long Chen, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, he actually knelt on one knee to the ground, it can be said that this was the first time he knelt down to Long Chen.
"I only ask you for one thing, I am the mastermind of the whole thing, I hope you can spare them!"
Seeing that Long Yan repeatedly pleaded for his subordinates, and even did not hesitate to bow to himself, Long Chen was not moved, but even more annoyed.
Therefore, he shook his head categorically and said, "I just said very clearly, the sin of rebellion is unforgivable!"
Hearing this, Long Yan's face sank, he had long expected this result, but he still had a glimmer of hope for it, so he would plead with Long Chen regardless of his face.
Now that he knew the result, he slowly stood up and said to them, "I, Long Yan, am sorry for you today, if there is an afterlife, you should not follow me anymore." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were blazing, and someone replied firmly: "Great Elder, we swear allegiance to the Great Elder!"
Everyone else echoed, and their voices followed one wave after another.
Seeing this, Long Yan was moved, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to bow deeply to them.
For the relationship between Long Yan and his henchmen, Long Chen was envious from the bottom of his heart, because this kind of heartfelt heart was exactly what he needed.
However, looking at the people around him, Long Chen was not sure how many people could be like them.
Envy can easily breed jealousy, and so is Long Chen, who is no longer accustomed to the "performance" of Long Yan and his henchmen, so he motioned for the Long Guards to arrest all those who rebelled against him. Then he loudly announced: "The evidence of the rebellion of Long Yan and his henchmen is conclusive, and according to the clan rules, they should be beheaded, and they will now be escorted to the Punishment Island and executed at noon tomorrow." ”
After that, hundreds of dragon guards, led by a few elders, escorted Long Yan and the others and marched in the direction of the Punishment Island.
I have to say that this is the largest criminal law of the Dragon Clan in the past hundred years, and the people executed are from the Great Elder to the Elder in Charge, a total of more than 40 people, which has already hurt the root of the Dragon Clan.
Long Yan and his henchmen completely lost their resistance, and let the dragon guards carry them away, but no regret appeared on everyone's faces.
Ma Fangyu saw them gradually leaving, and she was quite emotional.
He admitted that he might have been prejudiced against Long Yan in the past, but after today, Ma Fangyu's opinion of him has changed greatly, on the contrary, for Long Chen, Ma Fangyu is a little more wary.
Judging from what happened today, Long Yan is undoubtedly a person with a true temperament, and only such a person will treat people sincerely, so as to win more people's hearts for him.
Long Chen is another kind of person, everything can become his pawn, he only has power in his eyes, and he only has power in his heart, such a person is often the most ruthless, so he will ignore family affection for power.
In comparison, Ma Fangyu prefers people like Long Yan, and the funny thing is that the struggle between these two kinds of people is often the final victory for people like Long Chen.
So Ma Fangyu is very contradictory, he wants to be a person like Long Yan in his heart, but he doesn't want to be a loser in life, for this, he must be a person like Long Chen.
There may be a balance between these two kinds of people, which is exactly what Ma Fangyu strives for.
While Ma Fangyu was pondering, Long Chen's voice sounded on the field, "The reason why today's counterinsurgency can be carried out so smoothly is due to one person's indispensable ......."
When he said this, everyone's eyes were on Elder She, because no one but him was worthy of this honor.
"Yes, he is Elder She, I believe everyone has seen his performance today, I believe no one will object to him taking the position of Great Elder, right?"
As soon as these words came out, many people cast envious glances at him, and Long Chen's words were obvious, he wanted to promote Elder She to the rank of Great Elder.
As for the Great Elder, the people of the Dragon Clan are all clear, and their status is second only to the Patriarch, and they are on an equal footing with the High Priest.
However, the Great Elder was in charge of the Elder Body, and the High Priest was just an empty shell, so compared to the two, the Great Elder was obviously superior.
Elder She hurriedly bowed to Long Chen and said, "Thank you Patriarch for promoting!"
Long Chen walked slowly to his side, grabbed his wrist, raised it high, and said with a smile: "This is what you deserve, from now on, you are no longer Elder She, but Great Elder Long She!"
As the words fell, the other elders all bowed their hands to Long She to celebrate, while all the dragon guards fell to their knees and shouted in unison, "See the Great Elder!"
There was not a single voice of opposition on the field, indicating that Long She became the Great Elder.
After a while, Long Chen let go of his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "Of course, Long She is not the only person who has merit, for others, I will reward them one by one according to the size of the merit." ”
Hearing this, those who have made meritorious contributions are all overjoyed, and they are looking forward to the future rewards.
At this time, Long Chen suddenly changed his words, and suddenly said: "Since there is merit, you must be rewarded, in the same way, if you have a fault, you will be punished, for those who have passed, I know in my heart, when the time comes to punish you, I hope you will not complain." ”
When he said this, Long Chen's gaze fell on the group of centrists, causing them to become panicked.
They realized that even if they were able to save their lives after this incident, they were afraid that they would lose a lot of power and that they would not be able to rise in the future.
However, these are insignificant compared to their lives, and they will not be stupid enough to give their lives as easily as those die-hard fans of Long Yan.
"The patriarch is wise, the patriarch is wise, the patriarch is wise!"
At this time, many people shouted slogans, which made Long Chen's heart feel happy.
After a while, the scene gradually quieted down, and Long Chen turned to Long She beside him and said, "Great Elder, now because of the Longyan rebellion, the elder group is in chaos, and I want you to reintegrate the elder group within a month." Also, you are solely responsible for the matter of supervising the killing of Longyan tomorrow!"
"No!" Long She hurriedly bowed in response.
At this point, the matter has finally been satisfactorily resolved. But just when almost everyone was immersed in joy, Long She, who had been rewarded with a big reward, frowned.
He hesitated, but finally couldn't help but say, "Patriarch, my subordinates have a reluctant request, I wonder if you can agree?"
Long Chen asked, "You say come and hear it." ”
Long She nodded and said: "My subordinates feel that at the time when the Dragon Clan and the Feng Clan are about to fight, the Dragon Clan is in need of manpower, if more than forty elders are killed at once, it will undoubtedly hurt the root of the Dragon Clan, and I am afraid that it will affect the overall situation." Therefore, the subordinates have the courage to plead with you, the patriarch, and hope that you will spare the capital crimes of those people, and only need to correct the Fa Longyan alone. ”
After hearing this, Long Chen did not rush to answer, but shifted his gaze to the other elders and asked, "What do you think?"
The others looked at each other, they were all guessing Long Chen's true thoughts, but in the face of the deep Long Chen, how could they know his thoughts.
As a result, everyone looked at each other, and in the end they did not speak, and sometimes in the absence of knowing the situation, silence is golden.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Long Chen stopped pressing, looked at Long Qinyun not far away, and asked, "What do you think?"
Long Qinyun had something to say for a long time, and now that he finally ushered in the opportunity, he said loudly: "Grandpa, grandson feels that those people can't stay. ”
"Oh—why?" asked Long Chen calmly.
Long Qinyun arched his hand and replied: "One, according to the situation at that time, even if grandpa spared their lives, they would think that Long Yan asked for it for them, and they were not grateful to grandpa, but Long Yan." The two, judging from their performance, they are absolutely sincere to Long Yan, it is difficult for such a person to be the second master, if this group of people is retained in the Dragon Clan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more vivid 'chaos in the future'. ”
Speaking of this, Long Chen couldn't help but clap his hands, with a satisfied smile on his face, Long Qinyun's words were obviously in his heart.
He turned to Long She and said, "Hear it, that's why I have to kill them. It's not that I didn't think of what you reacted to, and at the beginning, I didn't mean to kill them all, and I could only blame Long Yan himself. He thought that he would be moved to intercede with me with his old face, but he didn't know that it was his act that sent them to the guillotine. Besides, if you can't even stabilize the inside, you will only fail externally. ”
Hearing these words, Long She finally understood, and his eyes were full of awe when he looked at Long Chen.
"The subordinates have not thought it through, and I hope that the patriarch will forgive the sins!" Long She bowed.
Seeing that the current Great Elder was loyal to him, and he was very in awe, which was very different from the previous Long Yan, Long Chen was not angry, on the contrary, this was exactly the effect he had always wanted to achieve, only in this way could he firmly control the Dragon Clan in his hands.
So, Long Chen showed a happy smile, helped Long She up with his own hands, and said, "You just expressed your opinion, what's the crime?"
When Long She saw Long Chen treating him so well, he was even more grateful in his heart, and expressed his gratitude to him again and again.
Afterwards, at Long Chen's signal, everyone began to leave here one after another, Ma Fangyu chose not to expose himself, and retreated with the dragon guards.
