After a while.
Everyone finally reacted, and what the letter said was shocking enough.
This makes one thing clear!
Who will be the next city lord of Huben City is decided by an eighteen-year-old boy.
They all focused their attention on Fan Yi, but in fact they all agreed that this was an extremely absurd decision.
At this time, Fan Yi only felt uncomfortable all over.
in.
Wang Honglin and Ding Yidao were the people least willing to accept the contents of the letter.
They had waited for so many years and finally had the opportunity. Unexpectedly, when Wu Zong's letter arrived, it turned out to be a bigger change.
Their breathing became rapid at the same time.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of these two people were a little ferocious, as if there was a volcano under their hearts, about to erupt.
There was no emotional change on Li Mingming's face. Maybe he was really old and had seen too many seemingly unreasonable things in his life, so it didn't matter.
Li Mi still held the letter in his hand, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Wang Honglin finally couldn't help but asked:
"Master Fan, is this letter really written by Elder Qi?"
However, as soon as he said the words, he regretted it a little.
Li next year changed his attitude and yelled loudly:
"Master Wang, please stop being rude!"
After Li Mingming finished speaking, he took the letter from Li Mi, glanced at Fan Yi, and then read the content of the letter carefully.
He said again:
"No problem, Li Mi, take this letter to the two family heads and take a good look at it."
Li Mi hurriedly retrieved the letter and showed it to Wang and Ding for a closer look.
really.
After these two people read the letter with their own eyes, they completely lost their temper.
The facts are established and cannot be changed.
In fact, Fan Yi's face had already darkened after hearing the contents of the letter.
Although he guessed that delivering the letter would not be simple, he never thought that he would be involved and become the one who made the decision.
I cursed in my heart:
"The old man is lying to me! I am really sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky! Let me choose the next city lord, how to choose? How to choose?"
The atmosphere in the hall also became more solemn.
Li next year had no choice but to stand up and look at Fan Yi.
He said seriously:
"Well, since Wu Zong has made such a decision, I still have one month before I can step down."
"I just don't know how Master Fan wants to investigate in detail? Please clarify."
Although Fan Yi is young, his temperament is calm enough.
He stood up from his seat, glanced at everyone, and then clasped his fists at the old city lord.
said:
"Since the sect wants me to make the decision, it should be simpler. Did Huben City nominate candidates to the sect before?"
"Please ask the old city lord to prepare a list for me. I will identify one person in a month."
Li next year felt more relieved when he saw that the young man was calm and collected.
He was really worried that Fan Yi would act haphazardly. If Huben City changed due to this matter, how could he safely disarm him?
Li next year made a downward gesture and said:
"Master Fan, please take a seat. The list is naturally there, so there is no need to prepare it."
"The head of the Wang family, the head of the Ding family, and my son Li Mi are the three candidates."
Fan Yi took a deep breath.
Answered:
"I have another request. During this month, I would like to ask the old city lord to give an order that no one can control my entry or exit from Huben City. I will come back to the city lord's mansion in a month."
Li Mingming was a decisive person, and he immediately replied loudly:
"I will follow Master Fan's wishes. However, since you have arrived in Huben City for the first time today, you still need to let us show our loyalty as landlords."
"A banquet has been held at the City Lord's Mansion, please be sure to stay a while, Lord Fan."
Fan Yi thought for a while and said:
"Fan Yi, thank you Old City Lord for your hospitality!"
Hearing this, Li Mingxing sat back on the armchair tremblingly, and then said:
"Everyone, that's all for today's discussion. I'm a little tired. The banquet will be held in the side hall. I'll ask you all to be there in an hour."
Everyone had to retreat first.
Li next year said again:
"Master Fan, please stay. Can you accompany me for a walk in the garden? I have something I want to ask you."
Wang Honglin and Ding Yidao looked at each other again, but without saying anything else, they followed everyone out of the hall.
at this time.
Only Li Mi and a few guards were left in the hall.
Li Mingming then told his son again:
"Li Mi, please go down too. Don't follow me."
Li Mi got the order and had to leave the hall with the guards.
In the end, only one old man and one young man were left in the hall.
Li Mingming stood up, and Fan Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.
The two of them walked towards a garden from the back door of the hall.
The garden is not very big, but it has rockeries, flowing water, small bridges and pavilions.
Li Mingming and Fan Yi were walking by the pond.
The old man smiled and asked:
"On the scene, we need to address each other with respect. In private, I can call you little friend, right?"
Fan Yi smiled and said:
"The old city lord can shout whatever he wants."
Li next year smiled again.
He then asked:
"Where did my little friend come from before he entered the Wuzong Mountain Gate?"
Fan Yi didn't want to hide anything from the old man, so he briefly talked about the Rongcheng family affairs.
Reality.
He knew it very well in his heart.
The old man kept him here because he had too many doubts and couldn't trust Huben City.
Fan Yi also told the story that he once served as the lord of a city.
Li Mingming was completely shocked after hearing this.
That old face was moved by it.
said:
"My little friend is also a city lord? I can't even imagine it."
Then he seemed to suddenly realize something, and said to himself:
"No wonder, no wonder the sect would arrange it like this!"
"I should have figured out one thing a long time ago. The sect will never do anything trivial."
"My little friend, can you tell me in detail how you can be qualified to be the city lord at your age?"
The old man realized that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly said again:
"You see, I am really an old fool. How could you ask such a question? Don't be offended, little friend."
Fan Yi didn't feel bad about the old man in front of him, but he had great respect for him.
He hurriedly replied:
"The old city lord cares about Huben City, so it's natural to ask."
Fan Yi explained to the old man in detail how he came to be the leader of the city.
The most important disputes among them.
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but secretly sweat for the young man.
It's just that the old man yearns for the old man Fan Yi mentioned many times.
Li next year sighed and said:
"My boss understands the righteousness well, he understands the righteousness very well! It's a pity that my old bones are rotten. If I could see my boss, I would have no regrets even if I die."
An hour flies by.
Li next year took Fan Yi back to the side hall, where there was a lot of fun.
Fan Yi drank a lot, but kept silent about anything other than drinking.
The banquet dispersed.
In order to avoid suspicion, the old city lord and the two masters did not dare to let Fan Yi stay.
Only Liu Qingqing and Wang Qier's identities are different from the others in Huben City.
immediately.
The two accompanied Fan Yi to leave the city lord's mansion and walked to an inn in the city.
