Chapter 4 The Struggle for the Boss
The next morning, when it was dawning, I heard a knock on the door outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xiao Han got up on his heels, and then saw that the room he was sleeping in was only more than ten square meters, and there was a bed, a pillow on the bed, a mattress and a quilt. There was a table in front of the bed, a stool, an oil lamp on the table, and nothing else. It's like a family with four walls, just like the poorest family I see on TV.
Xiao Han sighed, he slept very sweetly, and he heard the knock on the door outside, and hurriedly said, "It's coming, it's coming." "Put on my tattered clothes and drag a pair of worn cloth shoes that I bought online to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw the young man who asked for the password last night standing outside, and said with a solemn face: "Brother Xiao, Hall Master Li invites you to go to the lobby to discuss matters. Xiao Han nodded, turned around and closed the door, and followed him to the front yard hall.
I didn't have time to take a closer look last night, but at this time I found that this place is very vast, and the backyard where I live is a full five rows of wooden houses from east to west, with thirty rooms in each row, mixed with various trees in the middle, and all kinds of wild flowers are planted on the ground, which is simple and elegant, like a fairyland on earth. It's just that early in the morning at this time, every room is quiet, there is no voice, and it seems very cold, so you can also imagine the bustle and prosperity here before.
When I came to the front yard, the front yard was bigger than the back yard, the size of a football field, and there was a row of stone houses in the middle, which was still the same quaint style, completely different from the magnificence seen on TV. Obviously, this Jiuhua faction has no financial resources and can't afford to build a good house. The surroundings are covered with flowers and plants, and the fragrance hits people. Looking around, surrounded by green hills, rows of huge trees on the side of the mountain obscured the sky, leaving only a small sky in the middle, with a faint mist floating on it.
Xiao Han followed the young man to the stone hall, and saw that it was six or seven hundred square meters, and there was a Taishi chair in the middle of the room, and there were seven red chairs and six black chairs on both sides. There are two rows below, each row of thirteen ordinary large chairs.
Xiao Han glanced at it and saw that Li Yuexuan was sitting on the sixth black chair on the right, while Ye Tianjie was sitting on the eleventh of the thirteen ordinary chairs in the row on the left. Li Guanwu did not have a seat, and stood upright with four people, standing at the farthest point.
The young man who brought Xiao Han in brought Xiao Han in and immediately stood in the farthest place. Xiao Han also walked over, standing behind him in a proper manner.
Li Yuexuan nodded slightly and said, "Today, the RB faction reopened the lobby, mainly for two things. The first is to welcome the Xiao Han brothers into the faction, and the second is to elect a new leader. Brother Xiao Han, let everyone get to know each other. Xiao Han hurriedly stood up and saluted with his fists as the ancients did. The crowd replied. Xiao Han saw that there were two young women among the six people standing, both of whom were pale and white, their eyes were red and swollen, and they looked like they had cried.
Because now the Jiuhua faction has suffered a lot of losses, and even the head of the sect has been killed, and logically speaking, it is still in the period of great mourning, so everything is simple. Xiao Han saw that Li Yuexuan announced that he had joined the faction without discussion, and he had already regarded himself as the head of the sect. Looking at Ye Tianjie's complexion, although he was far away, he could see that he was half-bowing his head, his face was as heavy as water, and he didn't know what to think. However, listening to the conversation between Li Guanwu and him secretly under the cliff yesterday, it seems that he supports Li Yuexuan to take over the position of head.
Xiao Han's entry into the faction ended hastily, and he saw Li Yuexuan stand up and look at the few people who were scattered: "The head of the sect is in trouble, and the group of dragons in this faction has no leader, so I should re-elect a leader." In the past, the heads of the sect were elected by the heads of the halls and the helmsmen, but now only the masters of the hall and the helmsmen are left, which I mean by all the brothers and sisters to participate in the public election and elect the new heads of the sect. As he spoke, he turned his head to Ye Tianjie and said, "What is Ye Duo's idea?"
Ye Tianjie glanced up at everyone, turned his head to Li Yuexuan and said: "This faction has suffered a great disaster, the head of the sect has suffered, since the head of the sect should be re-elected, the master of Li Tang is very good, Ye seconded it." To second, to agree with him. Li Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, the meaning of his words was clearly to let Ye Tianjie take the lead in expressing his stance and support him as the leader, and he didn't mean to let the people in the faction push him publicly, but he didn't expect him to say this.
Li Yuexuan laughed dryly and said, "So let's talk about it, brothers and sisters." As he spoke, he shot his gaze at a tall young man beside Xiao Han. That young man was Tian Chengzhi, who was on guard at the gate last night, and saw Li Yuexuan looking at him. Tian Chengzhi hesitated, took a step forward and said: "Now that our faction is in great trouble, only Hall Master Li can be the head of the faction, and I, Tian Cheng, volunteer to serve Hall Master Li as the head." ā
Li Guanwu sneered, stepped forward and said loudly: "This sect has always respected two points, one is martial arts, and the other is the five virtues. I don't know if Hall Master Li will lose or lose on these two points? Can he take on the great task of reviving his own faction?" As soon as these words came out, Li Yuexuan's face changed greatly, and he looked at Li Guanwu with a hideous expression: "What does Brother Li mean?" Ye Tianjie glanced at him and said lightly: "Hall Master Li doesn't need to be angry, since it is a public recommendation, everyone can express their own views and opinions. ā
Li Yuexuan's face changed a few times, and finally nodded: "That's natural." Turned to Li Guanwu and said: "Since Brother Li does not agree to take over as the head of this hall, I don't know who you like?" Li Guanwu said: "Lord Ye Helm is a bright and upright person, and his martial arts are not bad, I will promote Lord Ye Helm as the head of this faction." ā
Tian Chengzhi was obviously a little jealous of Li Guanwu, and when he saw him talking, he quietly shrank back. The two young men standing behind him, one tall and thin, with a face full of pimples, the other short and fat, with a winter melon face, the two were in stark contrast. Seeing that Li Guanwu finished speaking, the dwarf winter melon stepped forward and stood beside Li Guanwu and said: "What Brother Li said is reasonable, the Ye Helm Lord is an upright person, this faction is obvious to all, and the martial arts are strong, I heard that the head of the palace has already intended to promote the Ye Helm Lord to the hall master, and I am also willing to push the Ye Helm Lord as the head of the house." ā
The thin young man snorted lightly and opened his mouth to speak, his voice soft: "The big things of this faction have always been intolerable for us gangs to speak, but this faction is in great trouble, and there are only eight people left. As for the five virtues and the like, can they resist the sword and axe?"
Li Guanwu said angrily: "Ye Qingshu, what do you mean?" Li Yuexuan kept nodding: "Brother Ye is reasonable. Li Guanwu was not allowed to interject, so he said to the two women standing behind Xiao Han: "Miss Ye and Miss Hao should also talk about it." ā
Xiao Han hurriedly took a step to the left, letting go of the two young women behind him. One of them was dressed in black, with a thin and haggard face, a delicate appearance, a green silk tied behind his head, and a silver hairpin inserted on it, unpretentious. Hearing this, he said: "This faction has encountered a new catastrophe, with countless casualties, and it is up to someone to take on the responsibility of reinvigorating my Jiuhua faction." What Brother Qingshu said just now is reasonable, the rivers and lakes are martial arts, the strong are respected, and martial arts are also very important. Now there are only two masters left in this faction, Master Li and Master Ye Duo, if you try one or two, the winner will take over as the leader. Another woman was slender, with a beautiful face, long hair reaching to her waist, and a pale yellow gown, and said, "Senior Sister Zixuan is reasonable, and I agree." ā
Xiao Han originally thought that Li Yuexuan would ask his opinion, but he didn't expect Li Yuexuan to listen to the woman's words, and immediately nodded and said: "So good, since the big guys all approve of the competition, Master Ye Duo, you and I will make a move, right?"
Ye Tianjie nodded slightly, brushed it out, drew his long sword, and said, "Hall Master Li, please." Li Yuexuan's face sank like water, took out a folding fan from his waist, brushed it and unfolded it, and said in a posture of please: "Please." Everyone watched as the two walked out of the hall one after the other and came to the huge courtyard. Li Guanwu followed behind the two, and the rest of the people followed him, scattered under the eaves of the lobby to watch the battle.
Xiao Han stood beside the two women, and at this time he already knew that one of the two was named Ye Zixuan, and the other did not know his name. He quietly approached them and asked softly: "Dare to ask the two senior sisters, what are the five virtues?" Ye Zixuan glanced at him and said lightly: "The so-called five virtues of the Jiuhua faction are just benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith." Xiao Hanxin said, oh yes, isn't it the set of things that Confucianism used to say, and he also made a five virtues, so he made a mystery.
At this time, Li Yuexuan and Ye Tianjie had already walked to the center of the courtyard, one holding a sword and the other holding an iron fan, posing in a posture of attack, and the battle was about to break out. Li Guanwu and Tian Chengzhi, Ye Qingshu and others had different expressions, staring nervously at the courtyard.
The sky is bright, the courtyard is surrounded by birds, the birdsong is crisp and pleasant, the faint clouds and mist are slowly fluttering in the sky above the courtyard, the breeze is coming, the leaves are gently blowing, and it is alive and well out of a paradise, a fairyland on earth. If it weren't for the two people with swords and swords in front of him, Xiao Han would have thought that he would have become an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Han was still a little excited in his heart, babble, he wanted to witness the birth of a new head of the sect with his own eyes, what a rare event. Looking at the two people in the field, Xiao Han couldn't wait to shout and cheer. Seeing that the two of them were holding the frame and began to circle around the field, everyone was obviously nervous. Li Guanwu's face was gloomy, staring at the field. Ye Qingshu's slender and yin face was uncertain, constantly changing, and he didn't know how to feel. Tian Chengzhi and everyone are far away, and they obviously don't get along.
Suddenly, Li Yuexuan flew towards Ye Tianjie, and the iron fan was wide open, slashing towards Ye Tianjie's chest from top to bottom. Ye Tianjie shouted, "Good coming", his body turned sharply, and he took a step to the right, and the long sword followed up, stabbing Li Yuexuan in the throat.
