Chapter 607 We all betrayed ourselves
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun rises eastward. Although this thousand-foot light cannot directly change the desolation and withering of these 100,000 mountains and the west, it also casts a beam of hope, bringing some warmth.
In the hills and clearings, people gathered one after another, either wearing armor or wearing cloth clothes...they were dressed in different clothes, but most of the facial expressions were similar, their expressions were dull, their eyes were blank, and they were in panic that they could not see them at all.
Here is the site of the Thousand People's Meeting, with a minimalist arrangement. There is nothing else except the simple wooden tables temporarily created at the front and more than a dozen wooden benches. What are gathering here are the representatives of Thousand People selected by the existing soldiers and civilians of the Gray Clothing Army. Although there are quite a few people, they stand in one place without greetings, no discussions, and no laughter, which makes them look dull.
In addition, because there were no restrictions, a large number of people gathered around and outside. Everyone knew what this meeting meant to the current gray-clothed army. They stood quietly and waited, with a solemn and heavy atmosphere.
Soon, thousands of people scattered, one left and one right, Joshia, Oumeng, and seven or eight senior ministers arrived at the same time.
Both sides looked at each other, Joshia looked calm, while Oumeng glared and muttered and cursed something. Several of the senior ministers looked awkward, and immediately changed their sight after a fake look. The remaining few people, especially the old man in a long blue silk dress walking in front, raised his chin and snorted lightly between his nose, as if he was disdainful.
"Damn it, Vibna, you..."
After patting the angry Oumong arm, Joshia seemed to have not seen her and walked towards the road that was vacant in the crowd. Her current identity is the new nominal leader. So she should be the first to enter the venue. She turned around and looked at each of them, looking eagerly, or frightened, and nodded with a calm expression.
Obviously, as Oumeng said just now, some ministers with ulterior motives have indeed made many small moves recently, which has changed the positions of some representatives.
But what can this happen... Joshia walked to the upper position. She touched the simple and rough wooden chair with her eyes firm. Aunt Luosha, since this is your wish, then no one can take this position away from me!
Settle down and the meeting begins.
First, he announced Luosha's last words. Needless to say, Oumeng naturally took the lead in walking out, glanced at the representatives of the thousand people present, and glanced at the senior minister headed by Vibna, and curled his lips.
Turning his head and shouting, "The leader of Luosha only asked me two words before his death. One is to lead the soldiers and people to retreat deep into the 100,000 mountains to avoid this pursuit. The other is to declare Joshia the new leader of the gray-clothed army. Who has any objection?"
The last sentence was yelled out! To be honest, in Oumeng's heart, this meeting of thousands of people was completely like taking off his pants and farting, and it was a waste of time! As long as Luosha's last words were announced, Joshia would naturally be elected as the new leader.
This is true. As soon as Oumeng finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound inside and outside the court, and most of them shouted excitedly, "Captain Joshia". Although Luosha died, this fighter who had been leading the gray-clothed army for decades and had an undeniable prestige and status in the hearts of many gray-clothed soldiers and people!
Just as the momentum was rising, Vebner suddenly stood up, waved his hand to suppress the sound below, his white beard trembled slightly, and shouted loudly: "I don't agree!"
The crowd suddenly became quiet, Ou Meng turned his head in shock and was furious, roaring with his face, and spitting: "Do you dare to have any objections to the last words of the leader Luosha?"
"No, I respect the leader of Losha very much. I just have objections to Joshia's identity." Vibna naturally would not be stupid enough to oppose Losha, so she just looked up and looked at Joshia and said coldly.
"You fart, this is not the same thing..."
"Old Marshal Oumeng!" Joshia suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Oumeng who was about to run away, and said calmly, "Let him say it."
"Hehe, OK!" Vebner sneered a few times, turned around and said confidently, "Everyone here knows why we join the Grey Army, and also knows what kind of group the Grey Army belongs to! Yes, our identities are all civilians, and we hate the nobles who oppress and murder us. Then..." Half-turned, he suddenly waved his hand at Joshia, and scolded him loudly, "I want to ask! Joshia, your identity is a noble, and my identity is a civilian, so what qualifications do you have to be the leader of the Grey Army? And why is it you who sit there today, not me?"
Wow... One word caused a thousand waves!
Several other senior ministers followed and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Yes, you are from a noble family, why should you lead our gray-clothed army?"
"Who dares to believe you? Who dares to make sure you won't betray the Gray Army again?"
...
Thousands of people represent an uproar! I have to say that Vibna’s trick of using Joshia’s identity is a vicious one.
Before Losha died, he declared Joshia as the new leader, which no one dared to object to refute. However, Joshia's origin is really a big flaw. From this point of view, Vibna made some sense. You, Joshia, are a nobleman, oppressing civilians, and directly led to the grey-clothed army group's bad deeds. In this way, who dares to hand over his future to you?
Furthermore, the morale of the gray-clothed army is now low and can no longer withstand any betrayal and turmoil. Therefore, even those who usually believe in Joshia can now be suspicious and dare not make a decision easily.
"Damn it, why did you forget this!" Oumeng's expression changed when he heard this, and he regretted it. Then he looked at Vebner, who could not hide his smug smile, and was even more annoyed, "Just say this meeting cannot be held, it cannot be held..."
At the beginning of the meeting, such a huge crisis occurred, and everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Joshia.
However, Joshia's expression was very calm now, and she didn't seem to feel the so-called crisis. Her faint eyes swept to every corner of the venue. This calmness infected many people. After a moment, the venue gradually became quiet.
Vibner naturally didn't want to see this situation, so he asked again, "Answer me, Joshia, why are you a nobleman, not me a civilian?"
"The reason is very simple." Joshia spread her hands calmly, "Because we have all betrayed ourselves!"
Vebner was stunned: "Uh...what betrayal? Do you admit that you will betray the Gray Army? Haha, look, she admitted..."
A commotion broke out in the venue, and most of the representatives were full of surprise. However, among them, there were also a few smart-minded ones frowning and thinking about something... At this moment, suddenly,
Pa, pa, pa... Then came from a corner of the representative of thousands of people. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to search, and saw a young man in military uniform clapping his palms, looking at Joshia with unconcealed admiration.
This young man is named Fei Rui, and he is one of the few friends of Tang En in the gray-clothed army.
Gradually, a few more applauses joined in, and the people who clapped their hands were like Fei Rui, all with admiration on their faces. Then, there were more applauses in the venue.
Some people also had no brains to turn around and looked around in surprise. While subconsciously slapped their palms, they whispered to the person next to them.
Soon, the similar explanations gradually spread to every corner of the venue - Joshia was a nobleman and Vibna was a civilian. Joshia said, "We all betrayed ourselves" means that he betrayed the status of a nobleman and has been working hard for the interests of the civilians. Correspondingly, he also satirized Vibna for betraying his original intention. Not only did he not consider the common people, but he instead tried to seize profits like a greedy nobleman.
A light words not only relieved one's own crisis, but also sarcastically revealed the opponent's ugly face. In this way, it is not surprising that Feiri and others looked at Joshi Yasu with admiration.
After everyone understood, the applause suddenly became thunderous, and they were all convinced by Joshia. At the same time, they could not help but secretly cast contemptuous eyes at Vibner who had just been proud.
Oumeng's performance was even more direct. After reacting, he sneered at the dazed Wibner and said, "Haha, you still want to be the leader with your IQ? Take a break as soon as possible!"
