Chapter 257: The Clan Elder's Mission
Heisha and the little leopard are quite humane, maybe it is because of the guarding clan hall and a lot of interactions with the ancestral spirits, now, there is a tendency to become goblins, especially Heisha, who actually learned to walk upright, if you look at it in the middle of the night, a drunk strong man, they see that Xi Wenming is really something, and they are disappointed to return to the bamboo forest array, Xi Wenming is quite unbearable, and took out two blue blood pills and gave them as gifts, and the two little guys are happy.
Ji Wenming actually forgot that this blue blood pill had a powerful hair removal effect at this moment, and he didn't know what kind of embarrassment the black demon and the little leopard would become if they ate it.
Ji Kui smiled: "These two guys are destined for you! they are not so friendly to others!"
Ji Wenming smiled: "Nonsense, one is the black demon who grew up with me, and the other is the flower cat I rescued, if you don't get close to me, who else can you get close to!"
Ji Kui whispered, "You have to protect them so that they don't be remembered!"
This sentence is so strange, it seems that there is a feeling of words in the words, Ji Wenming was about to ask, suddenly someone chased after him from behind, and said with a smile: "Wenming, what I promised you can be regarded as done! Don't let me down!"
Ji Wenming and Ji Kui turned their heads to see that it was Ji Xiang who came, this person is not right, the appearance is different, Ji Wenming has never had a good impression of him, not to mention that he is Ji Kun's brother, who knows that Ji Kun is against himself, is there a mastermind behind him?
Ji Wenming said with a straight face: "What did you promise me? Why don't I know!"
Ji Xiang's face tightened, he put away his kind smile, stared at Ji Wenming seriously and said: "Now that you are one of the oldest members of the clan, what I promised you has been done! I hope you don't bite me to death, otherwise I can let you come up, and I can let you go down!"
Ji Wenming nodded and said: "The elder of the Xiang clan is so powerful, I don't know, I think you are the patriarch of my Xiahou clan! I'm very curious, since I am the new clan elder elected by the collective resolution of the clan elder group, what can you do to let me go down!"
Ji Wenming is so faceless, it can be regarded as a blatant provocation, and Ji Kui also stood beside the two of them, looking at Ji Wenming with a smile and slapping his face.
Ji Xiang's face was pale, his angry eyes breathed fire, Ji Kui had come back to report to the clan elders in the early stage, saying that Ji Xiang colluded with foreign clans and was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, this matter made a lot of noise, Ji He and others even reprimanded Xi Xiang in private, let him pay attention to his words and deeds, as for the private investigation, there must also be, at least the person in charge of punishment looked at his eyes very strangely.
Fortunately, those Dongyi people disappeared inexplicably, so there was no evidence, which made Ji Xiang breathe a sigh of relief, he secretly speculated on the whereabouts of those Dongyi people, their disappearance seems to have a lot to do with Ji Wenming, so he will warn Xi Wenming not to come nonsense this time.
But looking at Ji Wenming's appearance, he doesn't seem to appreciate his own affection, and he doesn't give half of his face, Ji Xiang is secretly ruthless in his heart, this kid has his own handle, I'm afraid he can't keep it.
Since there is no need to talk about it, there is no need to waste any more time, Ji Xiang turned his head and left, walked through the bamboo forest, and entered the clan hall.
Ji Kui said: "Wen Ming, openly provoking the clan elders, you have to be careful of being stabbed in the back!"
Ji Wenming said casually: "What are you afraid of, with you protecting me, am I still afraid that he will bite me?"
Ji Kui shook his head and said ashamedly: "Although our personal relationship is good, if he uses a trick, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!"
Ji Wenming said calmly: "I don't believe that the clan elders are all in the same group as him, there is always someone who administers justice!"
After a few words, the three of them walked into the clan hall one after another, only to see that the clan elders were already seated, and in the middle sat the acting patriarch Ji He, and the seat next to him was empty, and there were four people in each row on the left and right, and there was a seat empty at the right side of Ji Biao's hand.
Ji Wenming stood in the hall and saluted to the clan elders, and everyone nodded one after another, congratulating him on becoming the new clan elder.
Ji He said with a smile: "Wenming, you're welcome, your growth is obvious to all, everyone is very happy, there is a young man to join the clan veteran group and become the mainstay of the clan, go and take a seat!"
Ji Wenming thanked him again, and then turned around and sat down beside him.
The slaves of the clan in charge of Ji Biao, with this blood sacrifice, many slaves were beheaded, and the strength of his subordinates was greatly reduced, and now he sat there expressionlessly, unable to see what thoughts were turning in his stomach, and he didn't even look at Xi Wen's life.
He waited for him to sit down, and then said: "The Great Witch Festival went to Linshui Village to deal with the aftermath, hoping to find the traces of the curse, and to see people dead to see corpses! Now the development of my clan seems to be stable, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging! There are Dongyi clans outside, and there are monsters and beasts inside, although there are patriarchs who are fighting outside, and they have recruited a lot of young and strong forces in Dongyi on the grounds of controlling the water, but from the perspective of strength comparison, we have no advantage, so I advocate slowing down the pace, focusing on defense, and strictly prohibiting the clansmen from walking in the wilderness, causing incidents!"
Everyone sat and stared, and they didn't know if they listened to these words, obviously Ji He often mentioned his ideas on the governance of the clan, this time it was mainly for Ji Wenming, but when Ji Wenming heard that Ji Dao was in Linshui Village, he was already distracted, and he didn't know what the situation was in Linshui Village now.
Ji He talked about it for a long time, but Ji Wenming didn't listen to half a sentence, and kept thinking about the curse, the road, and the water village.
When Ji He finally finished speaking, Ji Xiang suddenly said: "Fang shows his true character as a hero in times of crisis, this time there is a crisis in Linshui Village, the clan elders are busy with affairs, and they have not been able to take time to investigate, so they can only let the Great Witch Festival work on this matter, but now, I have a candidate to recommend, and he can preside over the overall situation in Linshui Village on behalf of the clan veterans!"
A cold light flashed in Ji Kui's eyes, and he stabbed at Ji Xiang suddenly, but he didn't care at all, he was still smiling, and talked eloquently, "Everyone should have guessed, that is the old man of the Wenming clan, he has not yet participated in the division of affairs of the clan, and he just took this opportunity to send out to exercise!"
Everyone didn't expect Ji Xiang to make such a proposal, and they silently thought about the pros and cons of this matter one by one......
However, Ji Kui suddenly spoke: "Wen Ming is too young, his strength is not enough to bear such a danger! It's better to let him come to my side to hone for a few years, learn some skills, and then entrust him with important tasks!"
In fact, everyone has their own plans for Ji Wenming.
Some people want to win him over, some people want to suppress him, but no matter what, they have to give him some rights - but no one is willing to share the power in their hands. Therefore, although Ji Kui's opinion is good, it is possible that he will accidentally divide the power in their hands.
Therefore, Ji Xiang's proposal is more in line with everyone's interests and is easier to be recognized by everyone - after all, people have an instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even if the infringement of their interests only exists in the imagination.
