Chapter Five Hundred and Fifteen: Shadows Are Heavy
Chapter 515: The Shadows
"Jekashi, this matter is of great importance. You have not told anyone about this to others, right?" asked Baymondo.
"Don't worry, your Majesty, Jekashi came over when he got the news, and he did not mention it to anyone." Jekashi said.
"Okay, very good!" Bemondo said two good words in a row, and then said, "From now on, you pretend not to know about this. Without the permission of me or Xiao Wu, you must not disclose a single word to the public. Can you do it?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jekashi knows how to do it." Jekashi said in a deep voice.
"Go, I agree in principle with the plan you mentioned to push Zhuhao to the top. I will talk to Xiaowu for you. I shouldn't ask you. You should discuss it with Qin Lan and hurry up." Baymondo said.
When Jekashi saw that Bemondo had agreed to this matter in person, it would be unnecessary to see Long Wu. Since Bemondo agreed, Long Wu would not object.
So Jiekashi returned to Binglong Island on Dragon Emperor Island and summoned Qin Lan and Qin Yu to prepare for how to operate the whole thing.
The Fire Dragon Clan changed its clan leader one after another. This was probably a huge blow to the Fire Dragon Clan, but it had to be replaced. Even if they didn't help them change, they would have to change it themselves when Zhu Yu came back.
However, in this way, the Dragon Prince's Mansion has officially intervened in the power change within the Fire Dragon Clan, which is a very taboo thing for all the Dragon Clans.
So how to operate will not make the Fire Dragon Clan dissatisfied itself, and other dragon clans will accept it. Otherwise, even if Zhu Hao is pushed up, no one will recognize his position.
It is best to ask Odaiya for this matter. It is not appropriate for others to mention it, and there is also the suspicion of taking the opportunity to seize power.
The three people quickly reached a consensus. Jekashi went to talk to Odaiya in person and asked her to take the initiative to propose that the Fire Dragon Clan choose a leader again. In this way, although Zhuping lost his power, Odaiya had a good reputation to take into account the overall situation. When the Fire Dragon Clan suffered a huge blow, what he thought of was not the personal honor and disgrace gains and losses. This would gain a large part of the Fire Dragon Clan's respect, and invisibly increase the weight of their mother and son in the hearts of the Fire Dragon Clan. Although the power of this five elements cannot be seen now, perhaps one day, the importance of this weight can be seen.
Qin Lan naturally went to Zhu Hao in person to explain the situation to him. At this time, he had to cut the mess quickly and play some riddle guessing games, worried that Zhu Ping would not be able to wait for the moment they successfully found him.
Because of the funeral between Huo Qianxun and Huo Qianyu, most of the Fire Dragon Clan gathered on Fire Dragon Island, and took the initiative to drive back the first general of the Fire Dragon Clan, so it was possible to gather most of the Fire Dragon Clan members together without any notice.
After hearing Jekashi's narration, Odaiya refused to agree at first, after all, this was the position her son had tried hard to get back. How could he say he could hand it over? No one would agree to it. And if she did this, how would he explain to her son if her son came back?
There are also the clans who will think of their mother and son. There will definitely be many people laughing at them. The clan leader of this generation has only been sitting in a few days and before his butt is hot, he bows it out. This is too embarrassing.
However, Jekashi finally convinced Audya, after all, her son's life is always much more important than a position!
If Zhuping was not the leader of the clan, then it would not be so important. Those who kidnapped him would not pay so much attention to him!
Maybe he will be released back when the Fire Dragon Clan selects a new patriarch!
Even if those people don’t let them go, they will hold a position where no one is doing, which is not a big deal. Maybe it will cause disgust among the clan. It’s better to take the initiative to hand over the position, at least to give your son some help!
"What, you want to hand over the position of Zhuping's acting patriarch and let everyone choose the patriarch again?" Anya looked at Ao Daiya in surprise. She could imagine how extreme Ao Daiya would take, but she did not expect Ao Daiya would take the initiative to hand over her son's power!
This move is simply too sharp. Retreat as advance. No matter who the newly selected patriarch is, he will exert his life in finding Zhuping. Otherwise, who would believe that the selected patriarch will have the ability to lead and protect the Fire Dragon Clan?
Audya didn't have this exquisite thought, and her heart had already been on the lookout for Zhuping. It was impossible for her to think of such a sophisticated plan. In this way, Zhuping's value would be gone all of a sudden. The people who kidnapped him probably didn't expect that the people they kidnapped would become worthless. At that time, either kill Zhuping or let the person go!
If this group of people who robbed Zhuping wanted civil strife in the Fire Dragon Clan, Zhuping must be alive, and a dead Zhuping is not in their interest!
Once the new patriarch is established, it will be difficult for her elder brother Zhuyu to control the power of the Fire Dragon Clan.
"Yes, Ping'er has been missing for four days. Maybe he has been killed by that group of thieves long ago, and our Fire Dragon Clan cannot be without a leader. I suggest choosing the patriarch immediately!" Odaiya said.
"Is this a bit urgent? Can you wait? Now that our Fire Dragon tribe has died, everyone is holding a funeral, so how can I be in the mood to recommend any clan leader?" Anya delayed.
"No further ado, the patriarch is related to the safety, honor and disgrace of my Fire Dragon Clan. The Fire Dragon Clan is now in panic. At this time, selecting a leader can at least calm people's hearts." Odaiya said.
More than twenty elders were sleeping in the Fire Dragon Cave, and the people Anya could discuss were Candle Move and Candle Thunder!
Needless to say, the wife and daughter were both detained on Binglong Island as accomplices. After returning, they basically rarely spoke, and they seemed much more dull.
Although Zhu Lei has good cultivation, he has been guarding the Fire Dragon Cave for many years and has no practical experience, so he can only listen to everyone's opinions.
"I agree to elect the new patriarch!" Zhudong, the dull gourd, actually took the lead in agreeing with Audya's suggestion.
Two of the five decision makers have agreed. Needless to say, Zhu Hao has elected the patriarch this time to push him to the top. How could he disagree?
Three to two, Zhu Lei looked at the form, afraid that he could only do this, so he raised his hand to agree.
Anya can't fight four of them alone, so she can only nod her head, which was considered a unanimous vote to recommend the new patriarch.
On the issue of candidates, the opinions were not consistent. Zhudong didn't want to be the patriarch, but he pushed Zhu Lei out. Zhu Lei never thought about being the patriarch, so he quickly refused. Odaiya recommended Zhu Hao. Anyway, she had no personal grudges with Zhu Hao, so it was reasonable to recommend Zhu Hao. However, Anya was in a dilemma. She didn't recommend him, so she couldn't push his brother out. First, the person had not returned yet. Second, Zhu Yu's identity was too sensitive at this time. Even if he came back, he had only one thing, that is, attending the funeral and other things, and he was not easy to interfere. Besides, Zhu Yu and Zhu Rong were of the same generation. According to the rules of the dragon clan, he was not qualified to be elected as the candidate for the next patriarch.
In this way, Zhu Hao is the only candidate left.
In this way, Zhu Hao had no competitor and successfully became the acting patriarch, which was considered to have removed the previous word "replace".
After removing the word "replace", Zhu Hao can use the power of the clan leader famously. His acting clan leader is much better than Zhu Ping taking office. At least he has no strong competitors, and the resistance he has done is much smaller!
Zhu Hao also knew that if Odaiya had not personally proposed to abdicate, and with the support of Jiekashi and Qin Lan, his "acting clan leader" would not have fallen on him so easily. Therefore, the first thing he did after taking office was to mobilize all the Fire Dragon Clans, who were fine in their families to go out to find Zhuping, and then handle the loss of the fourteen dead Fire Dragon Clan children and Huo Qianxun couple. Zhu Hao did not make any relocation requests for Anya to continue living in Fire Dragon Island, and the vested interests behind Anya and Zhunan were not moved!
The purpose of doing this is obviously to stabilize the overall situation. Although these Fire Dragon Clans may not be grateful to Zhu Hao, at least they will not cause civil strife in the Fire Dragon Clan.
Zhu Hao had a name, so it was naturally much easier to do things. No matter what, Zhu Hao was originally a candidate for the three patriarchs. Zhu Ping disappeared and Zhu Nan was detained, and only Zhu Hao was left. If he didn't act as the patriarch, who would be the one, it would be a lack of a name. Now that he has a name, the Fire Dragon Clan has a backbone, and this chaotic mood has gradually stabilized.
Zhu Hao's rapid rise to power has shocked many dragon clans who want to read the jokes of the Fire Dragon Clan. The Fire Dragon Clan must have expected to recommend a new clan leader to take charge of the overall situation at this time. Even if there is such a thought, no one dares to say it!
The only suitable person is Ao Daiya. She is Zhuping's mother and has a certain prestige in the Fire Dragon Clan itself, so she can only mention it. If others mention it, they will be called "ulterior motives".
"Young people are so terrifying, Xiaoci, Long Wu, Qin Lan and Jiekashi's three-piece combination have more potential than the combination of Bemondo and Qin Tian that I saw. Their future is unlimited!" Zhan Qingcheng finished reading Zhan Xiaoci's summary of the news about the Fire Dragon Clan and sighed a long sigh.
"Father, are you saying that this time the Fire Dragon Clan suddenly changed the horse and was the driving force behind these three people?" Zhan Xiaoci said in surprise.
"Didn't you see that?" Zhan Qingcheng glared at him.
"I can see that there seems to be someone taking a step behind this, but I think it's your old friend, my father, but I didn't expect that you think it's them three of you, my father." Zhan Xiaoci replied cautiously.
"My old friend, he won't care about such things. This time it must be the idea of the new female Dragon Xiang, Jekashi, and Qin Lan, who is better than blue than blue!" Zhan Qingcheng said.
"Father, will these two people treat us..."
"Well, you must not be careful about what you said. In the future, you must not neglect your dealings with these two people, and you must be extra cautious." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"I understand, father." Zhan Xiaoci nodded.
"Have you found out the assassin who assassinated Qi San?"
"Not yet, the assassin bribed the girl named Ding Yueqin and laid a very rare ** in Qi San's water. I don't know the ingredients of ** yet. Before the assassin assassin assassination of the guardian of Qi San, he had already silenced Ding Yueqin. There was no clue in Ding Yueqin's room, as if the assassin had never had any contact with anything in the room, and all the clues were broken!" Zhan Xiaoci remembered that he was woken up in the morning, and then a murder case that he had never encountered actually happened in the old house of the Zhan family, and the object was a guest who had just moved in.
Now the Zhan family is embarrassed, and the guest is almost murdered in his own home. Isn’t this the slap of the Zhan family?
Fortunately, the guest was alert and the assassin was scared away. Otherwise, someone would have been strangely killed when he was a guest at the Zhan family, and the Zhan family was completely defeated!
"What kind of grudges did this Qi San have with our Zhan family before?" Zhan Qingcheng received news from Zhan Xiaoci, first of all, he was angry. Someone dared to make trouble in the old house of Zhan family. This was to slapped his face. Secondly, he felt a sense of crisis. The Zhan family had been in good weather for many years. If this continued, his ambition would be eroded, and the Zhan family could only go on the road to decline.
Perhaps this time the assassin who appeared in the Zhan family returned to the hearts of everyone in the Zhan family, making them understand that the old house of the Zhan family is not the safest, and you must always be vigilant, otherwise the next person to be assassinated may be himself.
"No, I have asked many children of the Zhan family. In the past, Qi San was a better woman than a mission. However, since he married Sanniang, he has been living in seclusion and occasionally doing some tasks, and basically staying at home." Zhan Xiaoci said.
"A very special person, how is this person doing?" Zhan Qingcheng nodded.
"I have done a total of 1,183 tasks, and each time I have completed the task well, so I have accumulated a lot of merit. Now it is equivalent to a retirement state. Unless there are special tasks or those who are interested, they will take action!" Zhan Xiaoci said.
"How many people like this are there in Zhan Hall?" Zhan Qingcheng asked.
"Yes, but no more than three, but there is only one record as good as him." Zhan Xiaoci said.
"Your subordinates didn't notice such a talent?"
"This Qi San is in Xuanmen, and is Xiao Wu's subordinate. Without your permission, the child will not dare to move even if he discovers it!" Zhan Xiaoci said embarrassedly.
"Haha, are you afraid that this Qi San will be sent to Xiao Wu to secretly help her in the Xuanmen?" Zhan Qingcheng naturally understood his son's thoughts and said with a smile.
"Isn't this afraid of violating your taboo?" Zhan Xiaoci said.
"Forget it, I'm also blamed for this matter. I threw Xiao Wu into the Xuanmen. Except for killing Huo Qianxun, the others were nothing. Fortunately, I discovered a talent like Qi San, otherwise it would be a big loss than the deal between our Zhan family." Zhan Qingcheng joked.
"Then what do you mean?" Zhan Xiaoci looked at his father's expression and obviously had a love for Qi San, so he was afraid that he would focus on observing and investigating!
"A separate banquet was set up tonight. You, who would accompany him personally, suppress him. We invited others to visit him. Not only did we not relax, but we were worried for a night. We have to apologize, do you understand?" Zhan Qingcheng said.
"I understand, father, I will treat him alone tonight." Zhan Xiaoci said.
"Take your wife with you too." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"Father, do you mean to invite them and their husbands?" Zhan Xiaoci's eyes rolled and he immediately understood his father's intention.
"A woman who can turn a lustful man into a wrong and return to justice must be very outstanding. Let your wife do her homework well, and after she goes back, she will tell me about your wife's impression." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"I understand, father." Zhan Xiaoci knew that his father wanted to comprehensively investigate Qi San. In general, he had to be important to someone and examine the individual. His family would only have a general understanding. Only very special people would have to fully understand the situation of a person's family members.
Qi San obviously made the old man interested.
After so many years, there are not many people who can make the old man interested.
"That**, check it out quickly. The one who can charm the god-level masters must be an ordinary person. If it really doesn't work, you can find a reason to ask the Wood Dragon Clan. This thing is basically related to some special herbs. The Wood Dragon Clan is not good else, and it is still very good at identifying herbs." Zhan Qingcheng gave instructions.
"Yes, father, I'll do it right away." Zhan Xiaoci said with a happy face. Why didn't he expect that, otherwise he would still be old!
"Also, Qi San's yard is not suitable for them to live in. Change it. It doesn't matter if it's smaller, but the specifications should not be reduced." Zhan Qingcheng instructed.
"This child has been arranged. The yard where Xiao Wu lives has not been living in for many years. I asked someone to clean up and organize it. After changing the things, I sent someone to take them all over." Zhan Xiaoci said.
"Why did you arrange them to move into Xiao Wu's yard?" Zhan Qingcheng frowned.
"What's wrong, my father, that yard has been empty for decades. It was just renovated a few days ago and everything has been replaced. The yard is not big and can be close to the living area of our core children of the Zhan family. There are all experts from my Zhan family. No matter how brave this assassin is, he would not dare to enter there to assassinate, right?" Zhan Xiaoci asked in confusion.
"I personally ordered the renovation of that yard. I plan to leave it to Xiao Wu for a new house." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"Ah?" Zhan Xiaoci was stunned, "Why, my father, I will re-arrange it and let them move out?"
"When you have water in your head, you have moved in, and then move it out, what will the person think?" Zhan Qingcheng cursed angrily.
"But you didn't mention this to me in advance? Anyway, Xiao Wu hasn't lived in that yard for a few days, so I just want to..."
"I'm sorry for you, right? Forget it, just live there. At worst, I'll just build a garden for Xiao Wu. Anyway, she doesn't want to live with the people of the Zhan family." Zhan Qingcheng waved his hand.
"Don't be shocked when you speak. This kid is almost scared to have a heart attack when he hears it. " Zhan Xiaoci murmured in a low voice.
