Chapter 1,468 The three tribes are always waiting!
"I don't know the meaning of holding this meeting today. What do you want to do?"
"What else can you think of? Some people want to snatch the position of the princess."
"Please stop saying a few words. Now that the Marquis and his wife are gone, and the princess is detained in the imperial city again, we really can't afford to offend the rich family."
Participants discussed in small groups in the courtyard.
Almost no one has a clear idea of the purpose of this meeting, and the so-called voting is just a formality. Although there are a hundred people in the election, there are only two people who can really compete. One is the wealthy old man Chu Wanli.
The other one is deputy commander Luo Tong.
However, in order to express his position and dissatisfaction with the meeting, Luo Tong had already given up his candidacy as early as a week ago.
"Old man from a wealthy clan, you will soon be my new master in Saibei."
"Congratulations to the rich elders, congratulations to the rich elders!"
"Why don't you call me an old man from a rich family? Just call him Lord Hou!"
Too many people gathered around an old man, and their words were full of flattery and flattery.
This old man is Chu Wanli, the rich man of the Chu family. Although he is over seventy years old, he is indeed tall, with bright eyes, and is extremely tough and strong.
"Don't say that. The voting hasn't started yet. There are so many talented people in Saibei. I will definitely win!"
Chu Wanli pretended to be dissatisfied with humility, but the pride on his face could not be hidden. He even glanced proudly at Deputy Commander Luo Tong, who was standing not far away.
With the imperial court backing him up, Hu Yidao's millions of elites would be able to pass Yongming Pass and enter Saibei in one hour.
Luo Tong couldn't outvote him. Even if he was unconvinced and wanted to cause trouble afterwards, it wouldn't matter. Those two legions in his hands would definitely not cause any trouble!
Luo Tong smiled coldly and turned away, not bothering to look at him at all.
"Deputy Commander, that old guy is very proud of himself, what should we do?"
"What are you asking about? There is no news about the princess. What can the deputy commander do?"
"Hey, indeed, there is really nothing we can do now."
The confidant generals under his command said one after another, with sad expressions on their faces.
Luo Tong couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There was no news about Miss Chu. If she didn't come back, Saibei was destined to belong to Chu Wanli, an old thief. Then the reason why he declined the candidacy was that he was dissatisfied with the operation. There were more.
It's powerlessness.
The elders of the Chu family all support Chu Wanli. Seven of the commanders of the nine military legions also support Chu Wanli. The elders of the Chu family control politics and business in Saibei. Most of the military also side with Chu Wanli. What else can he do?
Fight with Chu Wanli?
Hate it.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law died tragically. Chu Wanli, the dog thief, did not want to avenge his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but colluded with the imperial court to seize power and take charge of the northern part of the country.
…
Half past two.
The Saibei Conference has officially begun. The hall that can accommodate a thousand people is full of people. There are guards on both sides, all holding swords.
"Everyone, I will preside over today's meeting. Everyone must know the purpose of the meeting, but I still want to talk about it."
"The Marquis and his wife passed away unfortunately last month. Saibei cannot be left without an owner for a day. All parties will vote. The person with the most votes will be my master and king of Saibei."
"This voting will be conducted anonymously, and abstention is not allowed. The voting results must be implemented and implemented. Anyone and any force must be loyal to the new owner, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
On the front desk, a skinny old man sitting in the middle spoke loudly, his voice full of energy and clear to the whole audience.
This person’s name is Chu Fengyuan, he is the third-ranked elder in the Chu family, and he is second only to Chu Wanli in prestige among the elders in the Chu family. He also has great power. He controls five legions under his command. In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is definitely qualified.
He wanted to stand for election, but he really didn't want to.
His stern eyes swept across the whole place, and finally stopped on the deputy commander Luo Tong. The warning had a strong meaning.
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"clear."
Everyone replied in unison, and Luo Tong also nodded.
"Very good, then the voting will officially begin."
Chu Feng remained noncommittal. As he sat down, his eyes were slightly closed and seemed to be open.
Ten minutes later, the voting results came out. Since it was operated on a mobile phone, the results were clearly visible on the electronic screen.
"Fang Peng, 9 votes."
"Lu Yuan, 27 votes."
"Chu Changhe, 66 votes."
"Chu Wanli, 788 votes."
Chu Wanli, the old man from a wealthy family, had the highest number of votes, and the others could not match him at a fraction. Chu Wanli couldn't help but smile and was very happy. Luo Tong's face was livid, and he was very unwilling.
"Deputy Commander Luo, your face doesn't look good?"
Chu Wanli smiled lightly.
"Whether my handsome face looks good or not, I'll do whatever you want!"
Luo Tong retorted angrily.
The conflict between the two had already arisen. Luo Tong was already unhappy, so naturally he would not tolerate him. In addition, even if Chu Wanli took charge of Saibei, he was not a soft persimmon, and it was almost impossible to move him.
"How dare you talk to me like this?" Chu Wanli asked angrily.
"The results haven't been announced yet. Now I'm scolding you, old dog. What can you do? What's the matter, can you still punish me?" Luo Tong stared at me, not giving in at all.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Chu Wanli laughed angrily, turned to Chu Fengyuan and urged, "Third brother, read out the results."
Chu Fengyuan, the elder of the three tribes, nodded and stood up directly. Luo Tong was not arguing. The overall situation had been decided and words were useless.
However, at this moment, a sound suddenly sounded, as loud as thunder.
"Three clans, please wait!"
After the voice fell, a group of people walked in. The leader was Li Yang, with an upright figure and overwhelming domineering attitude.
Behind them, the Yanyun guards each held heavy swords tightly, and the swords were dripping with blood.
Who is this?
The celebrities in Saibei were all shocked. They never expected that someone would break into the Zhenbei Houfu and bring a knife into the conference room. The senior Saibei officials at the front desk also stood up, all showing shock and anger. Who, who is so brave?
"Commander Li?"
Chu Fengyuan, an old man from the three clans, was startled and his expression was frozen. Some people also recognized him and were all stunned.
The hero of the army, the wolf of the southwest, the commander of the mountain and river armies, and the newly promoted Northern King Li Yang?
Why is this guy here?
At the last moment, Li Yang arrived with his people...
