After the people who returned to the tribe explained the matter to the elders of the tribe, a 70-year-old man with white hair and a white beard slammed the table and stood up.
Pointing in the direction of the door of the council hall, he said: "I know that this boy Hongjun will never give up the position of the clan leader so easily. Now you can see that he has a back-up plan, huh! It's true.
I underestimated him. I originally thought that the people in the Laojiu family were just weak and pedantic, but I didn’t expect that he would turn out to be such a shrewd one. Now what do you think we should do?”
Several other elders looked at each other, and another older man, who was younger than him, shook his head slightly: "This matter can only be solved by us discussing it here. Haven't we already pointed it out? Hong Jun has to come forward."
, if I tell you, the third cousin is still too anxious, why not change the clan leader after he has finished this matter."
"Lao Liu, what do you mean? None of you objected at that time, but it's just that the younger generation of my family came to the position, and you were unwilling to do so. Now that something has happened, why, all the responsibilities have been pushed to our side. It's really
It's ridiculous. The disciples of the clan don't necessarily have to go to the newly-built academy to broaden their horizons. If it doesn't work, they can just go out. I think that the disciples of my Puyang clan are capable wherever they are. In this world, there is no one better than our clan.
Are you the one who has stronger disciples?" The third elder looked arrogant and looked at the people in the hall from the corners of his eyes.
The ninth elder stood up and snorted coldly: "There is a world outside the world, and there are people outside the world. What the third elder said is too full. The Puyang clan was indeed famous all over the world, but it has been hidden for hundreds of years, and the world outside has become
What it's like, only the words of the few clan members who went out can't explain it clearly. It's normal for a frog in the well to be short-sighted after staying for a long time. You go on, we Lao Jiu family are all pedantic people.
, I’m not worthy of being in the company of smart and capable people like you. I have to go home for dinner. If I’m late, I’ll have to talk about it again.”
After he finished speaking, he threw down his sleeves and strode out of the meeting hall.
When he came out of the hall, he snorted mockingly: "The weather is really going to change. After a violent storm, you will definitely see a clear sky. Good days are coming..."
Among those in the hall, several people were already staring at his leaving figure, thinking thoughtfully.
After arguing for a long time, the new clan leader Puyang Funan and all the elders came to invite Puyang Hongjun in person, but he was not at home. Just when these people were about to return, they saw him carrying a child on his back.
Carrying a bamboo basket, wearing a bamboo hat, and holding a machete in his hand, he was walking back from the mountain path, looking like a perfect farmer.
Puyang Funan stepped forward and smiled politely: "Why did my uncle go up the mountain alone? Did he go to collect herbs?"
Puyang Hongjun didn't have much expression on his face, he just nodded his head lightly: "I'm just an idler, walking around casually, and it doesn't hinder the clan leader and the elders in the clan from doing their work, so I won't bother you. I'll borrow it."
"Uncle! Please stay!" Puyang Funan stretched out her hand to stop him.
The third elder came forward at this time, still looking at him arrogantly, accusing him: "Young descendant of the Laojiu family, you really make us old people look up to you. No wonder you would give up the position of patriarch so readily.
Well, it turns out that you have a backup plan, and now that you have succeeded, those people outside the mountain have spoken. If you had not stepped forward, none of the disciples in the clan would have thought of enrolling in the new college. Now you are satisfied, right?"
Puyang Hongjun slowly raised his eyes coldly and looked at the elder who had always suppressed and attacked him. If it weren't for the fact that he was an elder in the clan, he would have stopped meeting such people long ago and would not know how to speak.
Say one more word to him.
Suddenly he laughed out loud: "So that's it, His Highness King Chen and the Princess are really trustworthy people. When they signed the agreement, they did ask me if I could be the leader of this clan. At that time, I was too
Naive and confident, he was so confident that it is ridiculous to think about it now. However, His Highness Chen Wang also said at the time that he would only talk to the person who signed the document agreement. He would not pay attention to others. Looking at it now,
Really, I wonder what you elders think?"
"Hongjun, we didn't think it through well at the time. Now it's the key to the future of the children in the clan. You can't be upset because of the previous misunderstanding. Why don't you go negotiate with people outside and let them first tell you about this name?"
How about accepting the booklet and letting the disciples of our clan enter the school. We can discuss the matter later." The fourth elder of the clan came forward to persuade him in a good voice.
"The fourth elder is really good at joking. I am just an idler now. I am not qualified to participate in clan affairs. If I just ask the junior to deliver a letter or run errands, it is fine." Puyang Hongjun said with disdain and contempt.
A smile.
"Of course not. You kid, you are really angry with us elders. You told me that it was a misunderstanding before. As long as you let them collect this roster, your affairs will be much easier, even if you are no longer the clan leader.
, can also participate in the decision-making of major and minor matters in the clan, so why not." The fourth elder immediately said with a smile.
"Oh? It turns out that the elders think that it was a misunderstanding to force me to step down from the position of clan leader. Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let me resume my duties as clan leader. I can also go out and work with you as the clan leader.
How about discussing it with His Highness King Chen?" Puyang Hongjun looked at the scheming old people in front of him with a slight smile on his face.
His conditions made it difficult for these elders. Their respective selfishness made them feel that they could no longer be the patriarch. But the key issue they faced now was not only the enrollment roster, but also the fact that the other party had spoken.
If Puyang Hongjun is not restored to the position of clan leader, Fengzui Mountain will be leveled, and whether he can survive by then is a question.
Puyang Hongjun didn't believe these scheming old men. He shook his head and said, "It's better to invite the elders back. I'm not very capable and can't shoulder the big responsibilities in this clan. You should hire someone else who is wise."
After saying that, he walked around these people and walked back home.
His wife, young children, and old mother were all standing in front of the door looking at him. The place where he lives now was driven to the edge of the mountain after he handed over his position as patriarch. However,
This place is relatively close to the suspension bridge leading out of the mountain.
Just as he was approaching the door, Puyang Funan ran over, grabbed his arm, and glared at him: "Uncle, this is your fault. The elders have already come to invite you in person. You should
Obey, besides, you are also a member of this clan, how can you be so heartless."
Puyang Hongjun stared coldly at the hand holding his arm tightly, and said coldly: "Let go!"
But Puyang Funan still said forcefully: "Don't be ignorant of good and evil!"
"As long as you have such courage outside the mountain, you will not be looked down upon by others. Even a master who is just a quarrel dares to make trouble in front of me. If you want to ask for help, you must have an attitude, unless you agree to what I propose.
Conditions, otherwise, no need to discuss." Puyang Hongjun snorted contemptuously, and with a shake on his shoulder, Puyang Funan was knocked back five steps and looked at him in surprise.
Why didn't he know that Puyang Hongjun, who had always been gentle and elegant, had such a domineering side?
