Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 712 Secret Recall
They drank the wine all night, everyone enjoyed it very much, especially Lao Somersault, who later drank a piece of wine and didn't know anything, because the Bao family sent someone to take him back.

Ghost Knife also drank a lot of wine for the first time, and kept holding the knife tightly in the corner, half asleep and half awake. Later, after dawn, he went back with the old somersault. The samurai who came to pick them up were surprised when they saw Ghost Knife It's incredible.

Chen Zhi and Fat Wei are Gou Zhengfei and Liu Xiaohong looking for someone to send them back. When Fat Wei drank too much, he was very annoying, cursing the late old leader for being inhuman, and scolding the warriors of the organization for being cruel and cold-blooded animals. Just pretending to be B, luckily Ghost Knife didn't hear it after drinking too much, Chen Zhi was so angry that he wanted to slap him to death with a strong curse.

Chen Zhi woke up the next morning. He has a very strict biological clock, which cannot be changed even if he is drunk, but the large amount of alcohol gave him a headache. When Langtu called, he was asked to go back to the organization. The elders of Ji's Presbyterian House wanted to meet him alone to discuss important matters.

This is the first time that the House of Elders has issued an invitation to Chen Zhi alone. The laws of the Xiqi King City are very strict, and all the power is in the hands of the leader alone, but the House of Elders represents the dignity of the ancient Ji family's royal family. Sometimes, especially when there are strong doubts about the leader of the Ji family, you can ask the head of the Jiang family for support alone. If you get the approval of the head of the Jiang family, the elders will limit the rights of the leader, and even depose the leader.

In the history of the organization, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a leader of the Ji family who was controlled by benevolence, indecisive, and did not dare to issue an order to massacre the city. In the end, the elders' house and the patriarch of the Jiang family gave the order on his behalf, and the organization was saved from the catastrophe. , This is the only precedent, but such a thing as deposing a leader has never happened in the thousands of years of organization history...

Chen Zhi hasn't been back to the organization for a long time since what happened in the Underworld, and he hasn't participated in the internal changes in the organization after Bao Ping took over. Yesterday Bao Ping mentioned the rebellion of the chief warrior Ji Yang, which made Chen Zhi I was very surprised, but I never had a chance to talk about it in detail. This time I went back to the organization to ask about this matter.

The organization's car had parked outside at some point, which made people feel as if it had fallen from the sky, but this black Audi drove faster, making Chen Zhi feel like it was flying. The one in front The driver is still very mysterious, like a puppet, never turning his head back.

When the car drove into the familiar mountain compound, Langtu and some men in black were already waiting for him there. After seeing Chen Zhi, Langtu smiled politely as usual, but there were more It is some respect and admiration.

"Patriarch, please follow me...",
Langtu led the way ahead, leading Chen Zhi into the tunnel and into the Xiqi King City.

After entering the royal city, Langtu stopped there, and the masked old lamp boy took his place to lead the way.

Led by Deng Tong, Chen Zhi walked all the way to the gate of the leader Wang Ting. The guards on both sides opened the gate, and the familiar Great King Hall appeared before Chen Zhi's eyes again.

Before that, Chen Zhi had watched the nine bronze cauldrons towering above the sky many times in the smoky royal court, and watched the old man with the sound of a bell sitting high on the throne, under which he was covered in military uniform and loyal. Ji Yang.

But now everything is different, things are different from people, and the utter loyalty of the past has also changed.

Chen Zhi saw Bao Ping in the Great King's Hall. Bao Ping didn't sit on the throne like the old leader, but stood beside a big cauldron in the front, with Asuo and Ji Ying closely following him.

Bao Ping was not in a hurry to talk to Chen Zhi, but touched the tall and magnificent bronze tripod beside him, and asked Chen Zhi in a low voice,
"Do you know the origin of this Jiuding?".

"I've heard of it," Chen Zhi said calmly,

"It is said that in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, the king of Xia, Dayu, divided the world into Kyushu, ordered Kyushu State Mu to contribute bronze, cast Jiuding, engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu, and strange things on the body of Jiuding, and used a tripod to symbolize a state. Jiuding is actually Kyushu. , and the person who owns the nine tripods is the supreme emperor."

Listening to Chen Zhi's words, Bao Ping didn't say anything, continued to touch the big tripod, and then said softly,

""Historical Records? Feng Chan Shu" has a saying: [Yu collected the gold from Jiu Mu and cast Jiu Ding. All of them tasted the gods and ghosts of the gods. When they were saints, they prospered, and the tripod was moved to Xia and Shang. When Zhou's virtue declined, the tripod was lost, and it disappeared without seeing it. ].

Everyone in the world thought that the nine cauldrons had long since disappeared without a trace, but no one knew that the nine cauldrons had always been in my city of Xiqi..."
Bao Ping touched the ancient carving on the cauldron, there was a dull red spot on it, like a bloodstain,
"Did you know? In fact, these big tripods all have names, and this big tripod is called the dragon-patterned red tripod...,
It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Zhou family declined and the Qin State became stronger. King Wu of Qin led his troops to Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When he saw the nine big tripods in the Zhou Tianzi Courtyard, he jokingly asked the Zhou Tianzi at that time how heavy the nine tripods were. Zhou Tianzi replied that the Jiuding symbolized Kyushu , how heavy is this world?Jiuding has multiple weights.

King Wu of Qin had great self-sufficiency, so he said that the emperor has no jokes. If I lift the nine tripods today, I will ask the emperor of Zhou to sit with me. He lifted the tripod himself, but he broke his kneecap and was pressed down by the red tripod with dragon patterns. He vomited blood that night. and die.

Zhou Tianzi led the general clan of the Ji clan to kneel down in public to worship the red tripod with dragon pattern, and ordered, "This tripod will not be stained with blood, and it will be shown to the world, so as to disturb the fear of officials and thieves!" . "

After Bao Ping finished speaking, he looked at the dark red bloodstain, "My adoptive father told me this story repeatedly since I was a child. I always thought it was true. Now I read the secret file of the leader of the Ji family and I realized that it turned out that King Wu of Qin insulted me at that time. After Jiuding did not die, it was the Ji family who sent warriors to assassinate him overnight...

When I was young, I often saw my adoptive father sitting on the throne, and felt that he was so lofty, mighty and powerful, without any fear, but now I feel that my adoptive father is very tired every day sitting on the throne, this Jiuding is too heavy It's hard to bear.I will still stand here in the future!I am not worthy to sit on the throne now..."

"Don't think this way... Since the old leader can leave this position to you, he is sure that you will do as well as him, or even better!",
Chen Zhi said sincerely, and then looked forward,

"The Elder's Court summoned me alone today, is it about Ji Yang?".

"right!",
Bao Ping looked at Chen Zhi with those deep pool-like eyes,
"Ji Yang insulted me in public and left the organization without my permission. I think this is treason!
I have ordered Ji Yang to be punished:

One: Remove Ji Yang from the Ji family tree, remove his Ji surname, and remove the color of the warrior. From then on, he is no longer a warrior of the organization, just like Fu Ye Wanda in the past, exile him!
Two: The crime of treason is unforgivable. I have ordered him to be hunted down for life until he dies.

"Exile? Not only did you lose your title as a warrior, but you even lost your surname? Since then, the honor has been ruined. This is a great shame for a warrior, and it is worse than death..." Chen Zhi said flatly, looking at Bao Ping at the same time s eyes.

"Yes! This is my order",
Bao Ping's tone was very certain, without a trace of hesitation in his voice.

"Got it..." Chen Zhi nodded slightly,
"So because of Ji Yang's special status, the Elder's House can't accept this order, but they can't change you either, so is it right to summon me?"

"You guessed it right!",
Bao Ping smiled faintly, "Go in! Listen to what they say to you...".

"Are you so sure that I will support you?",
Chen Zhi suddenly found it very interesting. He looked at Bao Ping, his face that was always calm.

"Sure..." Bao Ping smiled lightly,

"My adoptive father never taught me any physical skills, but he taught me one thing, that is to see people! I may not have the powerful ability in your blood, but I will never misread people, let alone Misread you!",
After Bao Ping finished speaking, he pointed to the side,
"Go! Those elders are waiting for you..."
