Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 686: No blessing or misfortune

For a moment, the conference hall was actually quiet.

This kind of thing is actually very contradictory. In terms of the ethos of the entire world, everyone respects and admires the strong. To achieve the highest achievement in the Sword Forging Valley system at a young age is definitely something that everyone admires, including Tie Jingxuan. exception. If things were normal, Zheng Haoran could just become the owner of the valley, and no one would have any objections.

But this is not the norm right now.

It is precisely because you are too strong that no one wants the Zheng family to continue to control the position of Valley Master. This is the main factor that caused the incident. It was not just Tie Jingxuan alone, but almost everyone in the group had this idea. Even some branches that have had a close relationship with the Zheng family over the years feel that it is better to change them - after all, if this continues, it is very likely that the Zheng family will become a hereditary system of grain owners, and other families will slowly no longer have The right to speak, this is not without other reference precedents, no one wants to see that day.

Therefore, most people are not plotting rebellion. Most people are just fooled by Tie Jingxuan. They want to decide the next Valley Master before Zheng Yezhi returns to the Valley. In this way, even if Zheng Haoran wants to take over, it will be a matter of the next one. , it is not that easy to become a hereditary member of the Zheng family.

Tie Jingxuan simply couldn't control the level of the Qixuan Valley rebellion, otherwise he could just swarm up and chop Zheng Haoran into pieces. Why bother with such tricks?

Being struck by Zheng Haoran's Sunset Sword, Tie Jingxuan didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took him a while to hold back a sentence: "Times have changed, and pure casting methods are no longer enough for the position of Valley Master."

Zheng Haoran sneered: "What else do you need? Management ability? It happens to be the time to report on work at the end of the year. Haoran will report to you the results of the past six months. Since Haoran took over the operation of this valley, the financial surplus of the valley has increased by 10% year-on-year. , the storage of high-quality minerals has increased, and some very special and rare items have filled the gap. The production rate of Xuan-level weapons forged by my disciples has increased by 5% year-on-year..."

Everyone was silent.

Zheng Haoran and the Alliance of Six Paths are expanding their trade. Needless to say, this is a win-win situation for both parties. It will also be of great help in gathering and searching for high-quality mineral materials. It does not require any ability on his part. The profits in the past six months are also destined. She is so beautiful, what can others compare her to?

Tie Jingxuan choked out a sentence through his teeth: "Trading with the Alliance of Six Paths is just stepping on the ancestral system. How can it be regarded as meritorious service?"

Zheng Haoran didn't even raise his eyelids: "This was something that was passed by the joint motion at the beginning. Why does Uncle Tie want to deny it?"

"Since the bill was passed, it wouldn't be appropriate for my nephew to regard it as his own achievement..."

"Then you can find someone else who has achieved good results and let everyone comment on it."

There was an awkward silence.

Zheng Haoran said with a smile: "I have a proposal. My incompetent brother is in charge of the construction of the Spring and Autumn New City and the transportation of Lingzhou County. He is well-known in both the government and the public, and has great abilities. We might as well let him take over as the owner of the valley. He is well-liked by everyone."

A group of people are even more embarrassed.

Tie Jingxuan looked at the other old man next to him. The old man said bravely: "The two brothers, the wise nephews, are indeed dragons and phoenixes in the world. However, they are still young and have insufficient qualifications. According to our opinion, the new valley master this time is better than the old man." Recommended..."

"Recommended among the old people..." Zheng Haoran squeezed the hilt of his sword tightly and said word by word: "The Valley Master is still there, even if the Valley Master is elected according to the ancestral system, it is just a need for replacement. What is the purpose of recommending an old man? I mean, do you think the owner of the valley is dead?"

Someone said: "Haoran, we are doing this in a prudent manner...you are still young..."

Zheng Haoran laughed loudly: "So this is the result of your public discussion? Who did you choose?"

"Elder Tie has superb cultivation and skillful casting. He is worthy of being the acting Valley Master."

"I agree."

"Seconded."

Amidst the sound of seconding, Zheng Haoran said leisurely: "I'm sorry, I am taking the seat on behalf of my uncle, and I have the right of veto by the owner of the valley. No matter how loudly you second the proposal, my Zheng family will veto it. Can we adjourn the meeting?"

The third awkward silence.

Tie Jingxuan sighed after a long while: "Why should my nephew be like this? We originally planned to solve this problem peacefully..."

While he was talking, two old men on the left and right suddenly took action and grabbed Zheng Haoran's left and right shoulders.

"Whoosh!" The sword placed on the table by Zheng Haoran was automatically unsheathed, and the bright light pierced directly into the left claw, and blood spattered. In the sound of pain, Zheng Haoran slapped his palm to the right and held it against the right side. attack.

"Zheng Haoran!" Tie Jingxuan stood up and said, "Taking action against your uncle is a treasonous act!"

A group of old men slammed the table angrily: "Zheng Haoran! How dare you openly hurt others!"

Zheng Haoran's face was expressionless: "For such a blatant conspiracy, let's stop talking nonsense."

Following the words, more than ten elite elites from the Zheng family poured in from the side door, guarding Zheng Haoran. Tie Jingxuan's face was as dark as water, and he waved, and a large number of people poured into the hall. The situation finally changed from a pretentious meeting to a tense and bloody meeting.

Except for a few elders who looked gloomy, most of them stood up in surprise and uncertainty: "What's going on?"

Zheng Haoran looked around calmly, and a smile finally appeared on the young lady's face: "It seems that my Zheng family is not a bad person. Not everyone is plotting rebellion, so I feel relieved."

An old man was surprised and asked: "What's going on?"

Zheng Haoran said calmly: "My uncle has passed away. He was attacked and killed by traitors on the road. I didn't dare to believe the news at first, but now I have no doubts. In today's meeting, you have just been deceived by some people. If you agree, To force me to step down is to be coerced into participating in this rebellion, and my Zheng family will naturally blame everyone, so you can only hold your noses and embrace the results of this rebellion."

Several people were stunned, not digesting the news of Zheng Yezhi's death.

"It's a pity that I, Zheng Haoran, am not a fisherman. Now that I know the news, I am naturally well prepared. How could I be so foolish as to fall into the scheme?" Zheng Haoran slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Tie Jingxuan: "It's like you expect me to go crazy. To force everyone to the opposite side, you might as well save your time and make a clear list honestly so that I can see what the conspirators look like."

Tie Jingxuan squinted his eyes and said: "My nephew is indeed very good... It is a pity that my country has its own national conditions. Tie has His Majesty's orders. Now that Zheng Yezhi is dead, it is a bit difficult to expect other families to still fight for your Zheng family. You So what if our plan is broken, after all, we still have to be a prisoner. If you surrender, maybe we can give you a way to live out of past friendship."

A group of elders looked at each other and stood silently beside them. Several conspirators with Tie Jingxuan stood beside him, facing the Zheng family members beside Zheng Haoran.

The situation is obvious. As long as others don't interfere, the Zheng family will definitely not be able to deal with Tie Jingxuan and other conspirators.

A strange voice suddenly came from the air next to Zheng Haoran: "Damn it, Ji Wuyou is already in jail, why should I return His Majesty's life? Which Majesty?"

Tie Jing black-faced: "Who?"

A shadow suddenly appeared and said with a smile: "Wuhen Dao Guan Xiaoqi, I have met you all."

"The Alliance of Six Paths... No wonder Zheng Haoran got the news in advance." Tie Jingxuan sneered: "Is this the confidence of your Zheng family?"

He paused, pointed to the neutral elders, and said with a smile: "You all can see clearly that if the Zheng family continues to stay in their position, they will be the lackeys of the Demon Sect sooner or later. Everything Tie does is for the future of my Sword Forging Valley!"

Before he finished speaking, a faint sigh came from outside the door. This sound was very soft at first, but for some reason it suddenly swept through the eardrums like a tsunami when it entered the room, causing everyone's blood to surge. It was as oppressive as the violent waves of the angry sea. It makes breathing difficult.

Guan Xiaoqi couldn't laugh anymore and changed his expression: "Chang Tianyuan!"

Although they knew that Chang Tianyuan killed Zheng Yezhi, they didn't expect that Tangtang Dongxu would really have nothing to do, hiding outside and participating in the civil war that forced a junior? This guy still knows how to be strong, do you want to lose face?

Guan Xiaoqi secretly complained. Although there were people outside to help, he was the only one who sneaked in to help... He originally expected to be able to rescue Zheng Haoran in the worst case scenario, but he was suppressed by such a strong man. I don't know if my life will be lost here! It's this Zheng Haoran who insists on saying that there are not many traitors and the situation can be reversed. Now if he just reverses the situation, wouldn't everything be fine if he left early?

The neutral elders finally moved slowly and leaned towards Tie Jingxuan.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses. A strong person appears in the later stage of the cave. He is a strong deterrent without even showing his face. The Zheng family is seeing that it is difficult to stand alone. There is no loyalty at all and they want the Zheng family to give way. In this situation, there are still Who is so full that he would fight to the death for the Zheng family?

Tie Jingxuan showed a smile: "Xian..."

Before the word "nephew" could be uttered, his eyes flashed. A young woman appeared in the room without any warning. Her long hair hung straight down to the crook of her legs. Her pure and beautiful face was as expressionless as a puppet, and her eyes were faint. There were unreadable ripples: "The smell of this place... is so disgusting..."
