Chapter 96 4 The Vote Was Unexpected

Just after noon, all the gangs on Qianfeng Island gathered to Tianji Peak again.

At this time, the voice of the discussion became very quiet, and many people silently took their places and stopped talking.

What should be said is said after the end of the session, and the next thing is mainly to vote.

Each gang also has its own decision, just waiting for the moment of ** to come.

Because of the fear of change, many people have a worried look on their faces, and no one wants an armed struggle to happen here.

Duan Yingzhuo initiated this martial arts conference, the preparation was very sufficient, as the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, the Streamer Hall itself is very strong, plus there are many people who support the Streamer Palace, if they really want to start an armed struggle, it will be very troublesome to deal with, I don't know how many innocent people will be involved in this battle.

If there is a war with the Demon Realm, such casualties can be regarded as well-deserved, but here, even if it is a large-scale infighting, such casualties are meaningless.

With a heavy heart, everyone took their places and waited quietly.

The silence of the scene makes people feel inexplicably depressed, and there is a sense of tension that the wind and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

In the eyes of all the people, Duan Yingzhuo confidently and calmly walked into the ring, and after looking around, he said loudly:

"After the deliberation of the representatives of the seventy-two gangs, the election of the leader of the martial arts league was voted on, and the six hundred and twenty-eight gangs on the scene jointly **, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the ** process, the representatives of the seventy-two major gangs are invited to the ring to witness and supervise the process together."

"The way is also very simple, each gang can get two small bamboo cards, one with the word 'Liu', one with the word 'Duan', those who support the deputy landlord of Liu, vote for the bamboo card with the word 'Liu', and those who support Duan will vote for the bamboo card with the word 'Duan', and the number of votes exceeds 314, which is considered to be a victory."

"The winner will then accept the challenge of the three representatives of the small gang, and the winner will be the leader of the martial arts alliance of this martial arts conference."

After he finished speaking, he quietly sat in the ring, waiting for the representatives of the seventy-two major gangs to come to the stage.

After a while, the representatives of the seventy-two major gangs stepped into the ring one after another, including Ye Suifeng, Abbot Puhui, Tongxuan Dao Chang and Miaoyue Shitai and others.

Seventy-two people, most of them are the masters of a faction, of course, there are some of them who are not, for example, the representative of the Sword Sect to participate in the martial arts conference this time is Qiu Li, he is just the helmsman of the Sword Sect.

The seventy-two people who stepped into the ring, some supported Duan Yingzhuo, some supported Liu Tingfeng, and some of their positions were not clear for the time being, such as Lu Xiuzhu, the head of the Tianxuan faction, in Duan Yingzhuo's view, they were people in the same boat, and Lu Xiuzhu should support him, but he had just visited Liu Tingfeng yesterday, and he also released great kindness, and it seemed that he would also support Liu Tingfeng.

There are also a lot of neutrals, and no one knows who they will support.

There are also some people who have clearly expressed their support for Duan Yingzhuo before, and they may have changed their minds at this moment and will support Liu Tingfeng, who has already defeated Duan Yingzhuo.

Of course, there are also some people who said they wanted to support Liu Tingfeng before, but now they find that Duan Yingzhuo is stronger, so it is possible to change their minds and support Duan Yingzhuo.

Therefore, the result of ** became full of suspense, and everyone did not speak, but no one knew who their votes would be cast for.

When everyone sat down, Duan Yingzhuo immediately said loudly:

"Now, each of our gangs has two bamboo cards in their hands, and it is your right and freedom to choose who it is, I hope you can consider it carefully, because the leader of the martial arts alliance will affect the future fate of the rivers and lakes, and it will also affect the fate of every gang and every person in the rivers and lakes."

"Now, the future situation of the outer heavens has not yet been clarified, in this special period, what kind of martial arts alliance leader do we need to lead the rivers and lakes to fight for more living space? I think it's better for everyone to think rationally and decide after thinking about it. ”

"As long as the bamboo card in your hand has not been thrown, you can change your thoughts and positions at any time, but once you have voted out, you will not change, I hope you think twice."

"Okay, you can discuss the time of a stick of incense again, and after a stick of incense, we will officially start."

After finishing speaking, Duan Yingzhuo ordered someone to carry a wooden table to the ring, on which was placed a delicate wooden box, and a stick of incense was lit on the side.

The cigarette smoke curled and exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance, which made the scene feel a little more solemn.

Most of the gangs sat quietly, no longer talking or deliberating, especially those who had already made their position clear, and hardly thought about changing their minds.

However, some of the gangs are still whispering to each other, as if they are making a final decision after a final discussion.

After a stick of incense, ** immediately began, first ** Duan Yingzhuo himself, needless to say, he must have voted for himself, then the people of the seventy-two major gangs, and finally those small gangs, lined up in a long line, one after another walked into the ring, and then threw the bamboo cards in their hands into the exquisite wooden box.

A small number of people will deliberately put the side with the words written outwards before putting the bamboo card in, so that people can see who they are voting for.

However, most people choose to keep the side where the writing is written face down so that no one can see it.

Almost all the people at the scene looked at the wooden box in the ring with a thoughtful expression, who had more bamboo cards in it?

Duan Yingzhuo sat in the ring, looking very calm, his eyes were full of confidence, in his opinion, with his reputation in the rivers and lakes, how could Liu Tingfeng compare with himself, there must be more people who support him.

Liu Tingfeng sat at the edge of the square listening to the stands of the Snow Building, and he also looked light and breezy, and Wenlan Gongzi asked in a low voice:

"Brother Tingfeng, you said that those who clearly expressed their support for you before, will anyone change their minds now?"

Hearing Wenlan Gongzi's question, Liu Tingfeng nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes, there will definitely be a small number of people who will change their minds, but most people should stick to their positions, people in the rivers and lakes, many people will still attach great importance to the word Xinyi."

Wenlan Gongzi said worriedly:

"If that's the case, wouldn't the situation be ...... Not so good! ”

Liu Tingfeng replied indifferently:

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much, someone changes their minds to support him, and at the same time, someone changes their minds to support me, and there will definitely be more people who change from his camp, after all, I am the one who wins the competition, and I am more popular!"

At this time, the Tiger King said bluntly:

"I remember that every time Miss wanted to participate in the competition, Xiao Budian firmly believed that Miss would win, why was she not so determined this time?"

Wenlan Gongzi smiled bitterly:

"I know my sister very well, and I didn't understand it when I was young, so it was blind worship, in my heart, as long as my sister participated, she would definitely be the one who won."

"Now that I've grown up, I've realized that winning is not so easy."

"Especially this time, the situation is very serious, and I am especially looking forward to Brother Tingfeng's victory, so I am full of worries."

Liu Wuxian said in a firm tone:

"I'm sure my dad will win!"

While they were whispering, the ** in the ring was over.

The next thing is the counting of votes, in order to show the fairness and justice of the ** and the authenticity and credibility of the results, the counting of bamboo cards and the number of people counted were carried out on the spot in the ring, and the people of the seventy-two gangs supervised on the spot, and all the people in the square were witnesses.

The person who counts the bamboo cards is two ordinary disciples, one person counts, one person counts, every time the person who counts takes out the bamboo card from the wooden box, he will signal the bamboo card with words written on it to everyone, and after everyone sees it clearly, it will be put into another wooden box.

When the bamboo plaques were counted to one hundred, the number of votes for the two people was basically the same, Duan Yingzhuo had fifty-two votes, and Liu Tingfeng had forty-eight votes.

Duan Yingzhuo took a slight lead, but he couldn't help but show a somewhat smug expression on his face, as if to tell everyone that he was the one everyone was optimistic about.

When the bamboo cards were counted to two hundred, Duan Yingzhuo still maintained a slight lead, he had one hundred and six votes, and Liu Tingfeng had ninety-four votes, and the gap was not too big.

When the bamboo plaques were counted to four hundred, Duan Yingzhuo received two hundred and seven votes, Liu Tingfeng had one hundred and ninety-three votes, and the difference between the two was fourteen votes, and they still bit very tightly.

When the bamboo plaques were counted to five hundred, Duan Yingzhuo received two hundred and fifty-one votes, and Liu Tingfeng had two hundred and forty-nine votes, and there was already only a difference of two votes, at this time, Duan Yingzhuo's expression was no longer so relaxed, and there was no trace of smugness.

Although he has maintained the advantage, the advantage has become smaller and smaller, and the two-vote advantage is almost negligible.

**Before, in his mind, he must defeat Liu Tingfeng with an absolute advantage, even if there are less than two hundred votes, at least more than one hundred votes to be considered normal, but the current situation is not so optimistic, the distance has not been opened, Liu Tingfeng is even getting closer and closer to his votes, and if it goes on like this, it is even possible to surpass him.

According to the previous order, now immediately count the bamboo cards under the wooden box, that is, the bamboo cards of the seventy-two major gangs, Duan Yingzhuo thought about it, and began to feel relieved again, because more than half of the current seventy-two major gangs definitely support him.

That is to say, although the distance cannot be closed, the final winner must be him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Tingfeng who was sitting on the edge of the square, only to see that he was still calm and relaxed, and he didn't see any tension at all, it seemed that he would not be worried about falling behind all the time, and he was still full of confidence in the result, but the people around him showed a little worry on their faces.

When the bamboo plaques were counted to six hundred, the situation exceeded Duan Yingzhuo's expectations, he couldn't help but not widen the gap with Liu Tingfeng, on the contrary, he was surpassed by Liu Tingfeng, his votes were two hundred and eighty-nine votes, Liu Tingfeng was three hundred and eleven votes, and Liu Tingfeng was actually twenty-two votes ahead!
