"Yes." Qing Xuzi nodded lightly.
"I agree too." Zhou Yang also said.
As soon as he spoke, four members of the seven-person Presbyterian Council agreed, and the matter was finalized.
"agree."
"agree."
"Agreed." The other three nodded helplessly.
"Okay, then it's settled. As for the selection of the commander and deputy commander, let your elders decide it, and let me know the result. I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step, and you can continue to discuss it here." Qing Xuzi The final word was finalized, and then he drifted away.
"Master!" Zhou Yang praised secretly in his heart.
Previously, there were four leaders in the six-person Presbyterian Council. How to negotiate?
But now it's different. Six people have become seven people. Jiang Sheng and Gu Yang are both Qing Xuzi's confidants. Xie Ba also follows Qing Xuzi everywhere. As for himself, can he not agree?
Four to three, this is a complete victory. He has accomplished the task without making people say that he acted arbitrarily. This is a very skillful way of maneuvering!
The candidate proposed by Xie Ba was indeed Liu Xi, and there was also a deputy commander. They quickly agreed and submitted it to the city lord for approval.
After the meeting dispersed, Si Fenglie unexpectedly invited Zhou Yang to have a drink.
"Brother Zhou, judging from today's events, the wind is going in the wrong direction!" Si Fenglie said mysteriously after a few glasses of wine.
"Oh? Elder Si, I am a foreigner. I don't mind the profound meaning. I hope the elder can enlighten me." Zhou Yang was pretending to be confused.
"Haha, with my cleverness, I still can't understand the deeper meaning? You are a popular person in front of the city lord. Normally I shouldn't talk too much, but Brother Zhou and I hit it off immediately, and we feel more like brothers, so I won't be happy if I don't complain! If there is anything inappropriate, please look back to my brother Haihan." Si Fenglie shook his head.
"Haha, the elder said something harsh. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"I am an old man from Jiemeng. I am afraid that life will not be easy in the future!" Si Fenglie drank down the wine in the cup and said with some sadness.
Zhou Yang drank alone and was speechless.
"There had been rumors in the city lord's palace long ago that they intended to let me wait for the full-time position of elder. How is this different from seizing power? Commander Xie took the initiative to resign today, but he is forcing me and the other three!" Si Fenglie put down his wine glass angrily. road.
"Perhaps the city lord really understands your hard work and that's why he made such a move!"
"Oh, I should know the whole story. I won't go into details, brother, I really want to make you a friend!" After saying that, Si Fenglie picked up the wine pot, poured it for Zhou Yang first, and then poured it for him. Fill it yourself.
"I also want to make you a friend. I'm new here and I still need more care from the director!"
"Okay, brother, that's enough. From now on in Jiemeng City, you and I are allies, and even more so, brothers! Come on, brother, give you a toast!"
"I respect Brother Si!"
"Dry!"
"Brother, what do you think we should do next?" After drinking this glass of wine, the relationship between the two of them became much closer. Si Fenglie put down the glass and said to Zhou Yang.
"Brother Si, if it were me, I would take the initiative to resign from the position of commander!" Zhou Yang's words made Si Fenglie a little stunned.
"Brother Si, don't look at me like this. I treat you as a brother, that's why I said these words. Think about it, since the city lord has this idea, can you guys stand up to it?" Zhou Yang asked back.
"This can't be done." Si Fenglie hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"Since you can't, then take the initiative to resign. In this way, everyone will be happy. And judging from today's events, the city lord has a deep intention in it!"
"Don't you have any deep meaning?"
"Exactly. The great elder took the initiative to resign, and the chief and deputy commanders he recommended were successfully passed. Do you think about why this is?" Zhou Yang prompted.
"This...are you saying that this will happen after we take the initiative to resign?" Si Fenglie finally understood what Zhou Yang meant.
"It should be so, and within a period of time, the sphere of influence you belong to will not change. Take you as an example, recommending your own people means that the control of Beicheng is still in your hands, why not do it! "Zhou Yang further explained.
"Brother, listening to your words is better than ten years of studying! Brother Yu, I admire you, I admire you so much!" Si Fenglie suddenly opened his eyes and praised with a thumbs up.
"No, no, what Brother Si said makes me feel ashamed. You are just in it and have temporarily ignored some things. I am an outsider. Sometimes, the more outsiders you are, the clearer you may see." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"My brother is right. I am in the middle of the game and am blinded! Brother Yu, here's to you, do it!"
"I respect Brother Si, do it!"
"Oh, aren't these Elder Si and Elder Zhou! I met these two elders when I went to Fa Jiuxiao!" Just as the two were chatting happily, Fa Jiuxiao, the head of the Fa Family Hall, walked into the tavern, seemingly by chance. Encountered.
"Oh, it's Brother Fa. Are you coming here to have a drink too?" Si Fenglie said with a smile.
"Haha, I often have a drink here. Since the two of you are talking about things, I won't interrupt you!" Fa Jiuxiao bowed and turned to leave.
"Hey, since we met, let's sit down and have a drink together, don't you think so, brother?" Si Fenglie turned to Zhou Yang and asked.
"Haha, it's better to meet by chance than to meet each other. Friends of Dharma, please take a seat." Zhou Yang said calmly.
He was very knowledgeable about their performances.
"Thank you two elders!" Fa Jiuxiao was flattered and hurriedly thanked him.
"I would like to propose a toast to you two elders!" After the waiter filled the bowls and chopsticks, Fa Jiuxiao stood up, raised the wine glass above his head, and toasted to the two of them.
"We are all old acquaintances, you should respect Elder Zhou first!" Si Fenglie waved his hand.
"Yes. I respect Elder Zhou, I did it, you can do whatever you want!" Fa Jiuxiao drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Yang really only took a small sip and then put down the glass.
"By the way, I heard that Brother Fa and Elder Zhou have some misunderstanding. What's going on?" Si Fenglie asked after Fa Jiuxiao sat down again.
"It's all my fault. I offended Elder Zhou unintentionally. I would like to express my deep apology to Elder Zhou!" Fa Jiuxiao hurriedly stood up again and bowed.
"This person is the master of a hall, but he can be so humble and willing to put down his body to apologize. It seems that Fa's Hall can stand in the world for thousands of years and it is not without its merits!" Zhou Yang secretly praised.
"Fellow Daoist Dharma is serious, let him let go of the past." Since he invited Si Fenglie and kept such a low profile, then give him some face, and we will inevitably have to deal with him in the future.
"Brother Fa, Elder Zhou is so big-hearted that he doesn't even offer three glasses of apology wine!" Si Fenglie said hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Elder Zhou, for sparing Fa's Hall. I'll do it first out of respect!" After saying that, Fa Jiuxiao drank three glasses of wine in a row.
"Haha, Brother Si, let's drink together, drink together!" Zhou Yang also drank the wine in the cup.
"Elder Zhou, this is a little thought from me. It can be regarded as compensation for you. Elder Wanwang will accept it happily!" Fa Jiuxiao handed over a storage bag with both hands.
"The elder has spoken, so don't mention that matter. You don't need this, just put it away." Zhou Yang did not pick up the storage bag.
"Brother, if you don't accept it, you haven't forgiven Brother Fa. It will make him feel uneasy!" Si Fenglie advised.
"This, okay." Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then took the storage bag and scanned it with his consciousness. There were ten quasi-magical weapons inside.
The next day, Si Fenglie submitted his resignation to the city lord's palace.
The city lord's mansion sent the elder and general manager Gu Yang to come personally to persuade him to stay, but Si Fenglie's attitude was very firm.
Gu Yang had no choice but to return to life.
On that day, the city lord spread the legend, praised Si Fenglie greatly, and authorized him to recommend a successor.
Then Yao Daren resigned, and finally Rong Gengjin, the commander of Xicheng, submitted his resignation. He was quickly approved and authorized the two men to recommend successors, which were unanimously submitted to the Council of Elders for decision.
Zhou Yang ignored these and focused on refining the formation flags and formation plates of the Six Paths Spirit Gathering Formation.
Due to sufficient materials, he made three sets in one go, because the Spirit Gathering Array could be used at any time and he was prepared for any danger.
As soon as he finished his work, a message came from the City Lord's Mansion about the meeting of the Elders.
The result was naturally not surprising to him. The topic was the selection of the three commanders and deputy commanders.
Except for the deputy commander proposed by Rong Gengjin who was rejected, all other candidates passed, including Murong Yue proposed by Yao Daren.
The reason why Rong Gengjin's proposed candidate was rejected was because that person's public anger was too great.
On the day of the meeting, this person actually robbed a girl in the street. The victim directly complained to the city lord's palace. The meeting of elders was interrupted, which made Rong Gengjin very embarrassed and angry. He immediately withdrew this person's candidacy. qualifications.
Except for Rong Gengjin, everyone else was very happy.
Si Fenglie admired Zhou Yang's vision even more and invited him to the banquet repeatedly, but he declined them all.
Yangtianfang City has officially started construction, but it has been kept secret and there is no publicity that it is in Jianfang City.
Since everything was being rebuilt, no one paid much attention to the two streets in Zhou Yang.
Wangtian Pavilion's business is also good. At this stage, the best-selling items are construction materials, healing elixirs and cultivation materials.
Regarding the latter, Zhou Yang had the foresight, and since no spiritual stones were needed to rebuild Fangshi, he could spare a lot of money to stock up, and the quantity of goods was sufficient.
Murong Yue took office, and with Yao Daren's care, he was directly responsible for maintaining order in Yangtianfang City, with five thousand city guards under his command.
In order to consolidate his position and gain a foothold as soon as possible, Zhou Yang transferred Mu San and Mu Wu to the city guard army, respectively serving as captains under Murong Yue.
Wangtian Pavilion in the center of the city was handed over to Mu Jiu, a subordinate who had recently broken through to the late Tianyuan period, and he was solely responsible for security matters.
In order to support talents as soon as possible, Zhou Yang spared no expense to improve the strength of several of Murong Yue's subordinates. Recently, two more are about to break through to the late Tianyuan stage.
After arranging everything, Zhou Yang began to devote his energy to Lingtian.
He first deployed the six-path spirit-gathering array in the center of the mansion, that is, in the garden.
The five elements of spiritual energy in the air gradually gathered towards the mansion, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the mansion began to increase. In just three days, it had reached about five times that of the outside world, and it was still increasing slowly.
The spiritual field in the mansion has completely transformed into the best second-grade spiritual field. With Zhou Yang's continuous improvement, it is estimated that it will be upgraded to the third-grade level in a while.
