The moment he saw the options, Jiang Beiran was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Beiran did not expect that the system suddenly gave him such a domineering option. He originally thought that the system had to come to the meeting because there was some important news that he needed to know, but as soon as the option came out...
It's obvious that he wants him to completely take over Shengguo's business.
But after just thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran, who had a tacit understanding with the system for many years, immediately understood its intention.
Choice three, Jiang Beiran raised his right foot and stepped on the chair, supported his head tilted to one side with his right hand and said, "Of course, I don't want to do it."
[Optional task completed, reward: Luck +1]
"hiss……"
As soon as Jiang Beiran said these words, everyone present took a breath, some were surprised, some were inexplicable, and some were angry.
"boom!"
The next second, Ji Qinglin's profound energy rose into the sky. He glared at Jiang Beiran and said, "You bastard, I'm giving you some shame, right?"
But just when he was about to take action, Yin Jianghong took the lead and stood in front of Jiang Beiran and said: "Stop your bad temper. I'm here and I won't tolerate you making such a fuss."
Although Yin Jianghong was confused as to why Jiang Beiran suddenly broke up with Ji Qinglin, he knew that Jiang Beiran definitely had the capital, so what he did was not so much protecting Jiang Beiran as helping his apprentice.
But Ji Qinglin was obviously angered by Jiang Beiran's following mistakes. He glared at Yin Jianghong and said, "It's because you, an old man, are so talkative that he allowed him to become so arrogant. I must teach him a lesson today!"
Just when Yin Jianghong was about to say something else, Jiang Beiran took the initiative to bypass Yin Jianghong and came to Ji Qinglin and said: "Master Ji, who do you think has the final say in Shengguo now?"
Seeing Jiang Beiran's confident look, Ji Qinglin's raging anger subsided a lot.
Although he didn't get along with Jiang Beiran much, combined with his master's evaluation, he was labeled as a smart person early on.
As a smart person, he should never do such a stupid thing, so since Jiang Beiran did it, it means that he must be well prepared.
So Ji Qinglin temporarily withdrew his profound energy and asked: "What do you want to say?"
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran shrugged and said with a smile: "Look, if you ask me back, it means you don't know who has the final say in Shengguo now. In this way, how is our Shengguo different from the Liangguo in the past? Sooner or later it will go on for a long time."
It will also be destroyed like the Liang Kingdom.'
"This has nothing to do with you. Who has the final say in Shengguo? We will naturally find out soon."
"I'm afraid the horse that Master Ji mentioned is a bit far away, so I decided to speed up the progress and let Shengguo complete the internal unification first."
After hearing this, Ji Qinglin smiled instead of getting angry. He sat back on the chair and said, "You have to speak for your leader Yin for a long time." After saying that, he looked at Yin Jianghong and said, "Master, if you want to take this as the main issue, you can speak up.
You have to ask a junior to come out and speak for you, it won’t be, it won’t be…”
"No." Jiang Beiran interrupted Ji Qinglin's words directly, "What I mean is... I will be the one who talks about Shengguo."
The people around him were stunned again when they heard this, and their eyes looking at Jiang Beiran were full of confusion.
There was only one person whose eyes were different, and that was Meng Sipei.
'It's him! It's him!'
At this moment, Meng Sipei was sure that the person who suddenly appeared was the master who saved her in the cave that day. The feeling of dominance was exactly the same!
Ji Qinglin was also a little confused. He didn't know whether Jiang Beiran was crazy or crazy, and would say such ridiculous things.
But because this situation was so unbelievable, he actually didn't understand what Jiang Beiran was going to do.
"Jiang Beiran, if you have anything to say, just say it and don't play riddles here." Ji Qinglin said a little irritably.
After hearing this, Yin Jianghong couldn't help laughing out loud, "You bad disciple, I never thought that there would be times when you couldn't see others clearly. I see you are so panicked that you don't even dare to show your authority to a young disciple. It's ridiculous, ridiculous."
"Young master, I will challenge the general." Ji Qinglin waved his hand directly, "Jiang Beiran is from your side. You naturally know more than I do. I don't fight an unprepared battle."
Hearing Ji Qinglin's calm answer, Yin Jianghong felt very relieved.
'My disciple is indeed smart, but it's a pity...sigh.'
After the master and apprentice finished their argument, Jiang Beiran looked around at the crowd and said: "There is a very important rule in my reform, and that is democracy. What is democracy? That is, everyone has the right to express their opinions freely.
You can also jointly elect the leader you most approve of. This kind of selection is based on a voting system, that is, whoever gets the most votes will be the speaker of the Sheng Kingdom."
After hearing this, Ji Qinglin was still a little confused, but he seemed to have some understanding of Jiang Beiran's confidence. Then he looked around and found that everyone had serious expressions, and no one regarded this as a farce.
.
'No way...is this kid really so awesome?'
Just when Ji Qinglin frowned in confusion, others were also lost in their own thoughts.
Huo Hongfei must have fully supported Jiang Beiran. He was just wondering why the emperor suddenly wanted to monopolize power so strongly, because based on his previous understanding of the emperor, he didn't seem to like doing such publicity.
.
Meng Sipei was still immersed in waves of shocks. She had only come to hold an insignificant meeting for the sect master, and she never expected to see the person she had always dreamed of here.
Meng Sipei thought and took another peek at Jiang Beiran, but at this moment another masked face suddenly appeared in her mind. The man who rescued her from the miasma and said to her in Crescent Valley, "Don't be afraid."
, the face of "I'm here".
'Oh! Senior! I don't mean anything to him. I just want to thank this master for saving his life. No, no, I don't mean anything to you either! I...I respect you very much, oh!'
Meng Sipei, who felt extremely confused for a moment, didn't know what he was thinking about. It was very confusing anyway!
Unlike Meng Sipei, whose brain could hardly function anymore, Tai Yingzong was calmly analyzing everything that had just happened.
As someone who has dealt with Jiang Beiran several times, he knows very well that this young disciple never does anything that is uncertain, let alone something that can easily lead to death.
But he couldn't figure out what Jiang Beiran had the confidence to say that he wanted to be the spokesman for Shengguo.
'It seems that my understanding of him is still too superficial.'
As for Yan Siyuan sitting at the end, he has already connected Jiang Beiran with the master his disciple mentioned.
Because he had already known from his disciple that there was an expert guarding the Sheng Kingdom, and this seemingly "crazy" young man fit Yu'er's description very well.
After a period of deathly silence, Huo Hongfei suddenly stood up and saluted Jiang Beiran: "In that case, I will vote for you first, Brother Jiang."
"Um!?"
For a moment, the whole place was in an uproar again.
Except for Yan Siyuan, all the leaders present knew Huo Hongfei during the campaign against Liang Kingdom.
It is also known that he played a crucial role in promoting the internal fighting plan of several leaders of the Liang Kingdom.
Even after they completely occupied the Liang Kingdom, they realized that this young man named Huo Hongfei was actually a strong man who could be on par with them in terms of cultivation.
Ji Qinglin always thought that it was Yin Jianghong who secretly contacted this Huo Hongfei and accomplished the feat of overthrowing the Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop, but now it seems...this Huo Hongfei actually has a "master".
"Then let me vote as well." At this time, Yan Siyuan also stood up and said.
"What!?"
Ji Qinglin looked at Yan Siyuan in shock.
He always felt that the old man was very shrewd. He knew very well that he was a "king" who had subjugated his country, and the reason for his survival was to help them, the senior officials of the Sheng Kingdom, to better carve up the territory that originally belonged to him.
But he has always been very cooperative during the process, without any dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction, and he even took the initiative to give opinions.
The reason why Ji Qinglin calls him smart is because he never takes sides.
Whether it is the Lanzhou faction or the Fengzhou faction, he does not take sides and maintains his neutrality.
Because he is the most valuable in this way, every faction will want to win over him.
But such a shrewd old man actually took sides at this moment, and stood behind a person who he thought was a "joke".
At this moment, Ji Qing suddenly realized.
He finally knew that the plan to attack Liang State was not planned by Yin Jianghong at all, but by this young disciple of Fengzhou and the former emperor of Sheng State.
But when he looked at his master, he found that he had no intention of standing up to support Jiang Beiran.
This plunged Ji Qinglin, who originally thought he had straightened things out, into chaos again.
'Oh? That old fox is a bit interesting.'
Jiang Beiran was quite surprised when he received Yan Siyuan's vote.
But it's not important, it's just a small episode. In his original plan, it was enough to have Huo Hongfei's vote to stun everyone.
With an aura that stunned everyone, Jiang Beiran continued: "Master Yin, what do you think Shengguo needs if it wants to continue to develop?"
Yin Jianghong's thinking was also very confusing at this time. Although he knew that Jiang Beiran had great power behind him, before, he only regarded Jiang Beiran as a collaborator. He even thought that he could use Jiang Beiran's power to become the leader of the Sheng Kingdom and finally rule the country.
The entire Xuanlong Continent.
But he didn't expect that before his small goal of becoming the Lord of Sheng Kingdom was achieved, Jiang Beiran suddenly flipped the table.
This sudden change made him a little confused, and he couldn't understand why Jiang Beiran suddenly did this.
But when Jiang Beiran asked him a question, Yin Jianghong adjusted his attitude and replied: "First, rectify the internal situation, and then continue to seek development."
"Okay, let's skip the internal rectification part first." Jiang Beiran said as he took out a map of Xuanlong Continent from the Qiankun Ring, spread it out, pointed at the location of Sheng Kingdom and drew a circle on it.
"Now this southwest border land has been completely annexed by us. If we want to continue to seek development, we must avoid the two countries of Monk and Shang. However, both countries have Xuanzun sitting in charge. Leader Yin believes that we are the ones who developed them into our territory.
Are they more likely to be included in the territory, or are we more likely to be included in them?"
Jiang Beiran's words struck Yin Jianghong's heart.
In fact, he has been worried about the reactions of the two countries after annexing Liang State, but their eyes still seem to be focused on the goal of entering the Central Plains. Of course, it is also possible that neither side dares to take action first, fearing that the other side will stab him in the back.
.
But this is only for now. If one day the two countries suddenly agree to divide their Sheng Kingdom equally, or even if the two countries suddenly decide the winner, it is entirely possible to turn around and deal with the Sheng Kingdom.
To put it simply, the initiative for the survival of the Sheng Kingdom has never been in his own hands. It can't be said that he is living on his last breath every day, but he is indeed cautious.
Everyone here is actually very aware of this.
Yin Jianghong believed that Jiang Beiran would not raise this question without reason, so he immediately tried to ask: "Does Beiran already have a countermeasure?"
Jiang Beiran smiled slightly after hearing this, looked at Ji Qinglin and said, "Does Master Ji have any good ideas?"
"No." Ji Qinglin's answer was still so bachelor.
However, he has actually thought about this issue countless times. Even the idea of rushing into Xuanji Island to threaten other countries with his life was because Sheng Kingdom was always threatened by these two countries and could not live in peace.
"Where are the others? Do you have any countermeasures or ideas?" Jiang Beiran looked around at the other people on the table and asked.
Everyone was silent. Jiang Beiran nodded and said: "Since none of you have any countermeasures, let me share my humble opinion."
"If a weak country like our Sheng Kingdom wants to survive in these troubled times, it must find a backer, and this backer cannot be found around, otherwise it will just be a slow death."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he moved his finger to the center of the map and clicked, "Since we need to find a backer, we have to do it in one step. As long as the strong ones among the six countries are willing to protect us, then we won't have to fight for our survival for a long time.
This thing bothers me.”
As soon as these words came out, Ji Qinglin and Yin Jianghong understood something at the same time, but they still couldn't believe it in their hearts.
While the two were thinking, Jiang Beiran took out a waist card from the Qiankun Ring and placed it on the table.
"This is the virtuous order of the Shi family of Tongguo. I wonder if anyone here recognizes it?"
‘Tongguo!?’
Everyone here was shocked again. Who knew the names of the Six Kingdoms of the Central Plains on the Xuanlong Continent? Although not everyone knew the importance of the two words Shi Family, since Jiangbei Ran was so serious.
The fact that it was photographed shows that it must have a very good background.
"What you are talking about...is the Shi family where that Leyong Tianjun Shi Hongyun is in charge!?"
"Oh? Leader Ji is indeed well-informed. Yes, he is the Shi family you mentioned."
"You are actually a guest of the Shi family!?" Ji Qinglin's eyes widened, "How is this possible!? Could it be that you are really hiding your cultivation to tease us?"
"That's not important. What's important is that I can get such a powerful backer for Sheng Guo. Based on this, is anyone willing to vote for me again?"
