Chapter 55
the next day.

Early in the morning.

At the entrance of the lobby of the Zizhou Pavilion's standing hall, Lu Yu Kang Hai Lei Chi stood in the corner.Besides them, there were many other people at the scene.But now they don't say anything to each other.Even Zhu Long, who had communicated with Lu Yu yesterday, and Cao Yong, who was recruited by Lei Chi for support.

They all stood silently at the entrance of the lobby as if they didn't recognize Lu Yu and Lei Chi.

Lu Yu knew it well and didn't take it seriously.

And this time.

Yang Qing led a middle-aged man to Lu Yu: "Junior brother, we are here!"

The middle-aged man took the initiative to approach and looked at Lu Yu with a smile: "Brother Lu, I have long admired your name!"

This person is obviously Supervisor Yuan Bo, one of the twelve powerful supervisors who Yang Qing brought to Lu Yu for assistance.Lu Yu said gratefully: "This time, I have to trouble Senior Brother Yang and Supervisor Yuan."

Yang Qing smiled lightly.

Yuan Bo didn't care and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care?"

He regarded the state affairs meeting promoted by Hall Master Sima as a small matter, but for Lu Yu, this was no small matter, it was a huge favor.Lu Yu didn't care what method Yang Qing used to help him find this helper, but he had to keep this favor in mind.

At this time, another group of four people came over noisily.

It was Ping Chunqiu, and the three powerful supervisors who supported him who drank with him yesterday.But now, Yue Lin, who has taken refuge in Ping Chunqiu, is not among them.Maybe the old guy Yue Lin didn't dare to face Lu Yu, or maybe it was because of other things to avoid suspicion.

Not to mention Yue Lin, but Ping Chunqiu and the other four had already walked there, but when they found Lu Yu, their expressions became dark.Afterwards, Ping Chunqiu came over braggingly, and said in a cold voice: "Our Zizhou Pavilion, can anyone come in now? An outsider has no discernment at all, don't you know that this is my Zizhou Pavilion In the core area, why don’t you get out of here!”

The three people following Ping Chunqiu also raised their noses and eyes, staring at Lu Yu with eager eyes.

Lu Yu glanced at them and said calmly: "Although I am not from the state palace, I am also a monk from the palace, courtyard, and pavilion system. When did the Zizhou Pavilion have a rule that does not allow monks from the palace, courtyard, and pavilion system to enter? Already?"

Ping Chunqiu obviously did not expect Lu Yu to refute. In fact, he was just being tough.But now Lu Yu's rebuttal made him unable to sit still. He stared, ready to have an attack.But before he could get angry, Kang Hai said calmly: "Junior brother, our Zizhou Pavilion does not have such a rule! It's just a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs and wants to show off his power!"

talking.

Kang Hai's eyes fell on Ping Chunqiu, "Senior Brother Ping, am I right?"

Lei Chi then sneered, his face full of disdain.

Ping Chunqiu was speechless by such words. If he really had an attack, Kang Hai's accusation would be confirmed.When the time comes, he will be the one who cannot get off the stage.For a moment, this guy's face was clouded and he was very irritable.But in the end, he had no choice but to swallow the suffocating fire he had started.

Hearing this guy snort heavily, he glared at Lu Yu fiercely, and then turned around and left.

The same was true for several monks who were with him.

When they left, Lei Chi snorted: "What the hell, you really think he is the master of Xuanwu Pavilion! You still want to use such methods to scare Junior Brother Lu, it's so shameless... Junior Brother, Don’t get along with people like this.”

Lu Yu smiled slightly: I won't! "

After this episode passed, the scene became quiet again.It didn't last long, however, and was broken by the sound of the previously closed door of the Executive Hall opening.A disciple from the Standing Hall came out and said loudly: "The Hall Master has issued an order. Those who are participating in the state hall meeting this time can come in."

Ping Chunqiu walked in proudly surrounded by a group of people.

Others, close behind.

Kang Hai also said: "Let's go in too."

In this way, everyone gathered in the lobby inside the executive hall.The lobby of the executive hall of Zizhou Pavilion is much more grand and grand than the executive hall of Xuanwu Pavilion.Not to mention anything else, the area alone is several times that of the Xuanwu Pavilion Standing Division.And unlike the executive department of Xuanwu Pavilion, which is only open to the public unless an internal meeting is held or a promotion ceremony is held, the lobby of this executive hall is open to the public from the moment it opens the door.Even though a state meeting regarding the position of the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion was about to be held here, the disciples from the standing hall over there were still coming in and out without delay.

Lu Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Looking at the powerful supervisors, they all stood still.

Lu Yu also stood behind Kang Hai.

Because he was invited by Kang Hai, just like Lei Chi who also came in and stood behind Cao Yong, one of the twelve powerful supervisors.

When everyone settled down, a clear bell rang suddenly in the lobby, and a white-haired old man with a deep breath and wearing a blue robe walked in from the side door accompanied by two Third Realm monks.As soon as this person came in, his magnanimity that dominated the whole room unfolded.

Such an aura is much more powerful than that of the blood-robed ancestor, Shangguan Qi Mu Xingtian and other masters of the Four Realm Dan levels.

This is clearly the aura of the Fifth Realm Nascent Soul that is superior to the Four Realm Dans, and it is not a Nascent Soul in the general sense.

Lu Yu knew clearly in his heart: "This should be the head of the state hall's executive hall, Sima Chunyang." '

Sure enough, the monks in the lobby, whether they were powerful supervisors like Yang Qing, Zhu Long Kanghai, or even monks like Lei Chi, all shouted in unison: "See Hall Master Sima!"

Lu Yu is no exception.

At this time, Sima Chunyang, who was sitting high on the throne of the hall master, glanced at Lu Yu vaguely.

Even if it's just a glance.

Lu Yu also had a feeling of being completely seen through by the other party.

He couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring, and carefully restrained his aura. Then when he looked back, Sima Chunyang had already retracted his gaze and no longer paid attention to him.Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: 'You are truly worthy of being a person at the peak of the Five Realms of Nascent Soul. It is indeed amazing!Just a glance at me made me feel so uncomfortable. It's amazing! '

of course.

No matter how extraordinary this Sima Hall Master is, he is still incomparable with the old man who had given him the Inspiration Sutra and the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Bamboo.

Don't say this.

It is said that after Hall Master Sima glanced at the entire audience, he said loudly: "Disciple of our hall, where is Ping Chunqiu?"

Ping Chunqiu, who had been waiting for this call for a long time, stepped forward and said loudly: "Disciple is here!"

Hall Master Sima asked expressionlessly: "This hall recently received your request to take up the position of the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion under the state pavilion. Is this relevant?"

Ping Chunqiu changed his previous arrogance and domineering attitude and answered honestly: "Reporting to the Hall Master, this is exactly what happened."

The two masters and apprentices sang and harmonized.

He said it as if he had just learned about this matter.

In fact.

This matter was decided yesterday.

of course.

No one dares to question it here.

Hall Master Sima said solemnly: "Well, now we confirm that the meeting of the state hall proposed by Ping Chunqiu to take up the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion is true and valid, and it will start immediately!" He glanced at a third-level monk next to him.The Third Realm monk then shouted, "There are nine actual supervisors who will come to participate in the state hall meeting this time. Two will be substituted and one will abstain. There are 11 people in total. As long as Ping Chunqiu can get more than half of the support, he will be nominated by the state hall. Qualifications for the master of Xuanwu Pavilion!"

Wait until the person finishes talking about the rules.

Hall Master Sima said again: "Okay, Ping Chunqiu, you can start."

Ping Chunqiu nodded, first glanced at the monks who had the right to vote, and finally set his sights on Lu Yu. He looked like he had a chance to win and the villain was successful.However, this guy also knew the seriousness of this occasion. After turning his gaze away, he said loudly: "My name is Ping Chunqiu. When I was young, I entered the state hall to practice. Later, I was favored by the master and became his disciple!"

He bowed his head to the aloof Master Sima Hall.

Hall Master Sima smiled and nodded.

Ping Chunqiu stood up and said: "Over the years, Ping has been working hard in practice and life, and he has not dared to relax for a moment. Fortunately, after his hard work, he has also received good rewards. He is currently the second among the virtual supervisors of this museum. Ping's achievements today are due to his master, the state hall, and your supervision. Originally, Ping had no interest in the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion, but after hearing that the head of Xuanwu Pavilion was vacant, The internal environment is chaotic, and some villains are walking through it, making connections, gathering in the mountains, pursuing serious utilitarianism, and doing everything they can to cultivate their own wings!"

"Although I am not talented, I also know that if this trend is allowed to spread, Xuanwu Pavilion will be destroyed."

"Therefore, I Ping Chunqiu wants to take on this important responsibility and assume the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion, so as to restrain the chaotic atmosphere within Xuanwu Pavilion and eliminate the utilitarian black sheep in Xuanwu Pavilion! Let the real, capable and talented people Monk, take up an important position in Xuanwu Pavilion!"

"Really shoulder the important responsibility of benefiting the people of Xuanwu County."

This guy was so eloquent that it sounded like he meant it.

As he spoke, his provocative eyes once again fell on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu couldn't help laughing.

What the other party said about messing up the environment of Xuanwu Pavilion, about connecting the mountains, and even about being a black sheep, he was the one he was talking about.

This is nonsense.

Lu Yu has been able to get to where he is today because of his own efforts.Of course, he does not deny that he is nepotistic, but that is also a qualification that he has earned himself.Besides, given the situation in Xuanwu County, how can it be done without a big purge?
But now!

It reached Ping Chunqiu's mouth.

He became so heinous.

but!

Faced with Ping Chunqiu's barbed remarks, Lu Yu was not in a hurry.

Six votes in hand.

No matter how hard this guy struggles.

All are useless.

To him, Ping Chunqiu was just a clown.

This gentleman was still raising his arms and shouting: "In order for Xuanwu Pavilion to be restored to its original state, and in order for Xuanwu County to clean up the filth, I would like to ask all brothers to give me a chance to take up the post of the master of Xuanwu Pavilion."

This guy also pretended to be concerned about the country and the people, and once again handed over to everyone.

The three people who came with him all applauded: "Junior brother Nan Weiping, you have such an ambition. If I don't support you, I will be sorry for my conscience."

"If a person with such a responsible ambition cannot go to Xuanwu Pavilion, it will definitely be Xuanwu Pavilion's loss!"

"The position of the Pavilion Master of Xuanwu Pavilion can only belong to Junior Brother Ping. No one can compete with him."

"Lord Hall Master, can you vote now?"

Hall Master Sima smiled and said: "If you feel that Ping Chunqiu is qualified for the position of the master of Xuanwu Pavilion, please stand on the left!"

As soon as this statement came out, the three powerful supervisors came out.

"I support Junior Brother Ping!"

"As I said before, for such an important position in the county pavilion, we must control the injuries of people we know well. Junior Brother Ping, it must be you!"

As a result, Ping Chunqiu got three votes.

Ping Chunqiu was so proud that he turned his attention to other powerful supervisors at the scene, including Zhu Long, who came in place of his master.From such a small expression, it can be seen that perhaps Ping Chunqiu originally thought that Zhu Long's vote belonged to him.

He was not kept waiting for long.

The two powerful supervisors who were watched by Ping Chunqiu stepped forward one after another: "Guo Tong supports Ping Chunqiu's appointment as the head of Xuanwu Pavilion!"

"Zhao Xishuang supports Ping Chunqiu's appointment as the head of Xuanwu Pavilion."

Five votes.

Ping Chunqiu pretended to hold up his hands and thanked him: "Thank you for your support, brothers! Don't worry, if I can take up the position of the master of Xuanwu Pavilion, I will definitely do what I said." As he said this, this guy looked proud again. He glanced at Lu Yu.

As if to say.

'Boy, no matter what tricks you play, don't try to push me, Ping Chunqiu, from my position as the master of Xuanwu Pavilion!The position of the master of Xuanwu Pavilion belongs to me! '

And this time.

His eyes shifted to Zhu Long again: "Junior Brother Zhu, it's your turn."

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes of the audience fell on Zhu Long.Zhu Long heard this and walked towards Ping Chunqiu.Ping Chunqiu had more smiles on his face, and so did the powerful supervisors who had already supported Ping Chunqiu.In their opinion, as long as Zhu Long comes to their side.

They won.

At that time, Ping Chunqiu will serve as the master of Xuanwu Pavilion, and they will receive their due benefits and rewards from it.

Seeing this, Lei Chi couldn't calm down: "Senior Brother Zhu, should I..."

Even though he knew that Zhu Long had expressed his attitude to Lu Yu, but now watching Zhu Long walking toward Ping Chunqiu, he was still worried about possible accidents.

But Lu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "No, although I have only dealt with Senior Brother Zhu once, I believe that he is absolutely true to his word and will not make that kind of change midway. People who do things.”

Sure enough, at this moment.

Zhu Long stopped, just a few steps away from reaching the Ping Chunqiu supporter camp, and stood still.

Lei Chi said he was ashamed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kang Hai, who came to vote in place of Shangguan Qi, also felt much more relaxed.

Yang Qing and Yuan Bo beside him couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Of course, the ones who were most touched at the scene were Ping Chunqiu and the five real power supervisors who looked confused.

"Zhu Long, what are you doing?"

"Come here quickly!"

"Don't hesitate!"

Ping Chunqiu's face seemed to be covered with a layer of black ash, and it instantly became gloomy and terrifying.I saw this guy staring at Zhu Long who was walking over, and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, do you have any new ideas?"

Zhu Long smiled and nodded in response: "Not bad."

Ping Chunqiu's facial muscles trembled and he stared into Zhu Long's eyes: "Have you forgotten what your master told you?"

Zhu Long's master is Shang Yunhai, the most powerful supervisor of the state hall, who is also the senior brother Shang mentioned by Ping Chunqiu before.Zhu Long nodded again: "Of course I remember that Master took over the temporary task and suddenly went down the mountain. But before he left, he asked me to vote on his behalf."

Ping Chunqiu couldn't calm down, so he almost roared at Zhu Long: "You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

What he wanted to say was, why did Zhu Long stop and not support him in this matter according to the conditions agreed before.

But how could such a thing be said in public? Once it was said, the "crime" of Xuanwu Pavilion's collusion and gathering on the mountain top, which Ping Chunqiu kept saying, would fall on him.

and so.

Ping Chunqiu could only use this method to remind Zhu Long.

Let the other party not forget their previous agreement.

Zhu Long nodded again and explained matter-of-factly: "That's what I'm talking about! Master asked me to come, I came, and asked me to watch the cast, then of course I also have to watch the cast. Is there anything wrong?"

Ping Chunqiu was about to burst with anger, but he still refused to give up and asked directly: "Then are you supporting me now, or are you against me?"

Zhu Long said calmly: "If you, Senior Brother Ping, are seeking a certain position among the three divisions of Xuanwu Pavilion, Zhu will agree with it with both hands, but what Senior Brother wants is the position of Head of Xuanwu Pavilion. To be honest, based on my experience with Senior Brother's ability, I don’t think you are qualified for this position.”

"So, I object!"

As he spoke, Zhu Long suddenly distanced himself from Ping Chunqiu and retreated to another area drawn by Hall Master Sima in advance to oppose Ping Chunqiu.

Ping Chunqiu couldn't bear it anymore and became furious on the spot: "Zhu Long, do you know what you are doing?"

The expressions on the faces of the powerful supervisors behind him who were in his camp were also very ugly. They couldn't figure out why Zhu Long did this and what benefit it would have to him.Fortunately, they were all shameless, unlike Ping Chunqiu who lost control on the spot.

And this time!
Kang Hai stepped forward, stared at Ping Chunqiu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, do you want to threaten senior brother Zhu in front of Hall Master Sima?"

On the surface, these words were meant for Ping Chunqiu, but in fact they were meant for Sima Chunyang.

The purpose is to let the head of the Zizhou Pavilion Standing Hall take good care of his disciple.

really!

Hall Master Sima, who showed little emotion, said, "Ping Chunqiu, don't be ridiculous."

Even though Ping Chunqiu's heart was full of rage, but now faced with the coercive words of Hall Master Sima, he could only endure it and said to Zhu Long in as calm a tone as possible: "Are you really going to do this? "

Zhu Long said in a deep voice: "Zhu also thinks about the future of Xuanwu Pavilion. I can't let you sit on the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion. I'm sorry, I can't give you this vote, I must oppose you!"

"Ha? Haha?!" Ping Chunqiu's smile was uglier than crying, "Even if you oppose me, you are sure that you can prevent me from ascending to the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion? Zhu Long, you are too naive..." But just after he said these words, Kang Hai had already stepped forward and said loudly, "What about me?"

at the same time!

Yang Qing, Yuan Bo and Cao Yong came out together and stood directly with Zhu Long and Kang Hai: "Junior Brother Ping, let me first state that it is not that Yang has any opinion against you, but that I really feel that you are such a , people who have no practical experience are not suitable to take charge of the position of the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion. So, I’m sorry, I have to oppose you too!"

"What Lao Yang said is what I said."

"Correct!"

Ping Chunqiu's face turned completely dark. He said with a smile, "Haha, after all, you only have five votes, and I also have five votes. It's just a tie..."

But as soon as these words were spoken, the last real power monitor in the lobby, who Lu Yu thought was the person Mu Xingtian had found a relationship with, stepped forward and said, "My Gong Sun Ran also opposes Ping Chunqiu's appointment as the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion."

There you go!
That was six votes to five. Lu Yu's supporters dealt the final and most critical fatal blow to Ping Chunqiu.

Before coming, Ping Chunqiu had sworn that the position of the head of Xuanwu Pavilion was his and no one could take it away. He even humiliated Lu Yu several times, who had entered the Zizhou Pavilion to serve as an official.But now, the situation he thought was rock solid suddenly collapsed.

The reversal of the situation, and the sense of loss that comes with things changing.

It was like a heavy hammer hitting Ping Chunqiu's body!

Suddenly encountering such an impact, Ping Chunqiu couldn't bear it, and his body shook uncontrollably. If the two powerful supervisors around him hadn't reached out in time, this guy would have been paralyzed to the ground by the sudden reversal of the situation.It was at this time that Ping Chunqiu's expression changed several times from gloomy to bright, perhaps because he was filled with anger or was filled with frustration that was difficult to resolve.

The guy opened his mouth suddenly and spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Ping Chunqiu's face was as gloomy as a ghost, twisted in an almost terrifying way.This guy stared at him steadfastly. Since he entered the executive lobby, he hadn't expressed his views publicly, but he was the key person who controlled the situation, Lu Yu.

The hatred that rose up in an instant had completely filled his pupils.

"it's all because of you!"

"Lu Yu, it must be you who are behind the scenes! You are just hiding behind the scenes in Xuanwu Pavilion and doing little things, but you dare to act like this in the state pavilion! It's simply lawless! You can't forgive me!" Ping Chunqiu's words were extremely sharp, like As if he had grasped Lu Yu, the sound became louder and louder, causing the whole hall to buzz, "Master, I request that Lu Yu be arrested immediately."

"Put this scourge of disrupting state affairs in isolation and incarcerated!"

'This guy is crazy! Lu Yu expressed his innocence.

He was making some small moves behind his back, but Ping Chunqiu was not idle either. Everyone was in the same boat, so who could say who was right?But now, this guy actually wants to use such a thing to arrest him, which is really ridiculous.If Hall Master Sima had followed this guy, he would be extremely stupid.

'Is this Hall Master Sima that stupid? '

Lu Yu ignored the nearly insane Ping Chunqiu and looked at Hall Master Sima calmly.Not just him, but also everyone in the lobby.

 Thanks for the recommendation votes of 'Taibai invites the moon to the fairy' and 'Ru Dao Dao'
