Chapter 42: Grace and Prestige

Dongfang Yunyan appeared in the garden behind him, and the eight county guards, the heads of various factions, and all the immortal monarchs came forward to pay their respects. Lin Man'er saw Meizhou Pastor for the first time, looked up, and saw that he was wearing a nine-fold crown on his head, wearing a Xuanxi Prefecture Pastor official uniform, and a flying dragon plum blossom pattern embroidered on his chest.

Among them, the flying dragon soars to symbolize the Donghao royal family, the plum tree below symbolizes Meizhou, and the eight plum blossoms blooming on the plum tree symbolize the eight counties under the rule of Meizhou.

By the way, the pattern on the chest of the Hakka Governor is a seven-crowned pine tree, symbolizing the seven counties under the rule of Hakka. Guzhou Governor is a nine-branched cypress tree, symbolizing the nine counties under Guzhou's rule. As for Emperor Donghao, it was naturally Qinglong.

Having said that, Lin Man'er looked at Dongfang Yunyan's official uniform and thought: This thing looks very expensive, and I don't know if it can resist the beating. If I resist the beating, I will have to do a set in the future.

However, what she was thinking in her heart was seen through by an old woman on crutches behind Dongfang Yunyan. I only heard him scold on the spot: "The shaft is rude!" ”

Lin Man'er swept left and right and found that the old woman was scolding him. was shocked, but he pretended to be calm on his face, and asked rhetorically, "Why am I rude?" ”

The old woman stomped on her crutches and snorted coldly: "Do you really think that what you think in your heart will not be known to others?" ”

Lin Man'er quibbled: "What do I think in my heart, how do you know?" Are you a roundworm in my belly? ”

The old woman was just about to teach a lesson, but she saw Dongfang Yunyan dissuading her: "Mother is angry, this son has a perverse personality and does not mean to offend." ”

Kong Xinyu also hurriedly stepped forward and helped him to take a seat. Dongfang Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and let everyone in the meeting take their seats. After that, the ceremonial officer gave an opening speech and invited the governor to speak.

Dongfang Yunyan skipped the scene and went straight to the point. That is, Meizhou will no longer be the Meizhou of the past, and I hope that all the monarchs will work together to create more brilliance. After speaking, his son Dongfang Changqiu announced the territory due to all parties.

In order, they are the eight counties of Meizhou; first-class sects in Meizhou, such as the Moon Worship Sect, the Red Sun Sect, the Furong Pavilion, etc.; private forces in Meizhou, such as Yuwang Valley, Weeping Willow Villa, etc.; second-rate sects in Meizhou, such as the Beast Knife Sect, the Iron Sect, etc.; Meizhou has famous immortal monarchs, such as bounty hunter Fan Haoyang and so on. As for Lin Man'er, he represents Huai Yongan, the master of Meishan, and belongs to the last category.

Soon, Dongfang Changqiu was announced, and his father, Dongfang Yunyan, looked at the participants and asked if they had any objections.

Everyone spread their voices and discussed, but no one was the first to speak. After Lin Man'er looked at the map, he was the first to stand up and object. He said that he represented Huai Yongan, not himself. Therefore, he should divide a little more.

Dongfang Yunyan was annoyed in his heart, and said in a cold tone: "Too little? Scold... Tell me, how much do you want? ”

Lin Man'er held up the map and circled an area casually. After Dongfang Yunyan saw it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to give you the entire Yanlin County in this state?" ”

Lin Man'er shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, Yu Wazi told me that our county guard of Yanlin County is very good, and it is a little unkind to rob him of his job." ”

When Hexun, the county guard of Yanlin County, heard this, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Fortunately, Dongfang Changqiu stood up and explained: "Although the Huai seniors killed the Eighth-Order Spider King, for the entire battle situation, it only has a driving effect, not a final word. Therefore, if you talk about merit, you can only use the value of the eighth-order demon king itself as a reference. ”

"That's not right! If you only use the value of the eighth-order demon king itself as a reference, why can sects such as the Moon Worship Sect and the Red Sun Sect be divided so much? ”

Dongfang Changqiu's mind moved, and he smiled: "Please ask the deputy sect master of the Moon Worship Sect to answer this point!" ”

Dong Xi was the only one among the participants who had no objections. Because, according to the agreement between Dongfang Qingtang and Wen Yue before, the Moon Worship Sect can share the sixteen peaks around it. However, Dongfang Yunyan took the initiative to add two peaks, that is, eighteen peaks.

On the one hand, this is because the two additional peaks have been identified and contain fewer resources; On the other hand, it is because Dongfang Yunyan's biological mother Wen Chan has a reason with the Moon Worship Sect.

In fact, Donghao's previous monarch married two wives, one is Wei Ling, the biological mother of the current monarch Dongfang Yunqi, and the other is Wen Chan, the biological mother of Dongfang Yunyan and his sister Dongfang Yunruo. Because Wen Chan and Wei Ling did not agree, and Wei Ling's son Dongfang Yunqi became the emperor, Wen Chan offered to leave the Guzhou Palace and follow his son to Meizhou.

In this regard, Dongfang Qingsu did not object, anyway, he would not need a woman to accompany him in the future. This is because he just wants to practice penance every day in order to improve his cultivation.

Having said that, Dong Xi has lived thousands of people, so he naturally knows Dongfang Changqiu's intentions. Now, the Moon Worship Sect has two more peaks, so she doesn't mind helping out.

Therefore, he explained to Lin Man'er: "I, the Moon Worship Sect, responded to the call of the Eastern Dean, raised the strength of the whole sect, and cooperated with Lord Zhou, the county guard of Yuewei County, to participate in the attack in the Yuehe Mountain Range. After a day of hard fighting, my Moon Worship Sect not only captured the Yuehe Mountain Range, but also took the lead in opening up the important passage between Yuewei County and the Meishan Mountain Range.

As a price, seventeen elders of my Moon Worship Sect died in battle, and nearly a hundred disciples died. In this way, can't you exchange for eighteen peaks? What's more, the sect master of my sect used his strength to kill the two eighth-order demon kings, and effectively supported the seniors of the rest of the sects. Don't you prove that? ”

Lin Man'er thought for a moment and felt that she couldn't refute it. So, he changed his thinking, skipped the Moon Worship Sect, and slammed the Red Sun Sect, Weeping Willow Villa and other sects. He didn't believe that the Red Sun Sect would also make great sacrifices.

Yin Zhongfu, the sect leader of the Red Sun Sect, was helpless, originally he still wanted to take advantage of the momentum of Lin Man'er's protest and take the opportunity to ask for more benefits. But now, Lin Man'er is staring at him. It stands to reason that he only needs to recount the exploits of the Red Sun Sect in public. However, if he really did this, it would undoubtedly be an acknowledgment of the territory that Dongfang Yunyan had assigned him. But the problem is, he doesn't want to admit it, because he thinks it's too little.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Dongfang Yunyan, the state pastor, seemed to understand what his son meant, so he immediately asked, "Why is Sect Master Yin reluctant to narrate his exploits?" Isn't there a mistake in the previous report? After a pause, he said, "If that's the case, then Honshu will have to reconsider the reward given to your Red Sun Sect." ”

When Yin Zhongfu heard this, he hated Lin Man'er in his heart. This is true not only of him, but of the other sect leaders who intend to protest. On the contrary, people like the bounty hunter Fan Haoyang are very supportive of Lin Man'er. After all, what Lin Man'er did was to fight for the interests of people like them.

Seeing that Dongfang Yunyan was about to replan the territory of the Red Sun Sect, Yin Zhongfu had to grit his teeth and admit it, and recounted the exploits of the Red Sun Sect in public. Although it is not as good as the Moon Worship Sect, it is also a great sacrifice. There is no way, the Moon Worship Sect is a first-class sect with a profound heritage.

After that, the other leaders who were questioned by Lin Man'er all recounted their exploits in public. At the same time, it also represents their recognition of Dongfang Yunyan's territorial division.

However, Lin Man'er did not give up, and planned to say what Dongfang Qingtang asked him to do in public, so as to use it as a bargaining chip to ask for a reward. Fortunately, Dongfang Yunyan interrupted in time and reprimanded: "Enough, don't forget, you are still a disciple of the Meizhou Branch." The Meizhou branch is a royal academy, and all needs are provided by the royal family. Therefore, your personal merits are rewarded by the dean, and have nothing to do with today's meeting. ”

After Lin Man'er heard this, he said angrily: "If I had known that you were so picky, I would have gone to Yinzhou." ”

Dongfang Yunyan immediately got angry and said: "Bastard! If it weren't for my Donghao's cultivation, how would you be where you are today? ”

Lin Man'er was not afraid at all, and replied: "I have a seal on my body, and I will enter the sixth grade when the seal is unsealed." This is given by my father, what does it have to do with you Donghao? ”

As soon as these words came out, they exploded directly. Just imagine, born is the sixth grade, what a terrifying talent and background!

Dongfang Yunyan suppressed the shock in his heart, and admonished bitterly: "Although you are extremely talented, you can't just have talent in cultivation. As far as this state knows, you should have learned my Donghao ancestral secret technique, Mu Baolu, right? Moreover, the divine pet you raised is also from Donghao. Such a generous kindness still can't satisfy you? ”

"First of all, I am not only Fa cultivation, but also physical cultivation, sword cultivation and soul cultivation. Secondly, I majored in the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique, not Mu Baolu. In the end, my divine pet is basically useless, and I have to rely on myself to fight. He can testify to this. As he spoke, he pointed to Fan Haoyang.

Fan Haoyang replied very cooperatively: "What Brother Lin said is true, when he was in the fourth district that day, Ben Jun was fortunate to see Brother Lin make a move. During this period, no divine pets were summoned to fight. On the contrary, Brother Lin also worked tirelessly for the favor of God. ”

Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the arena, Wen Chan spoke. I only heard her say without hurry: "The way of a gentleman, his heart is the country; The way of the villain, his heart is profitable. Since you are attending on behalf of the Huai seniors, you will be trusted by them. But now, you don't follow the way of a gentleman, but instead speak wildly for the sake of petty profits, disrupting the venue. Isn't it shameful to be so? ”

Lin Man'er still replied: "Why do you feel ashamed of the interests that you fight for with your ability? And you don't have to take your kingdom against me. At the beginning, when our village was plagued by evil cultivation, we didn't see your country helping us. ”

Fan Haoyang applauded and praised: "Well said, people don't kill for themselves, only when they are strong can they not be bullied." ”

Interestingly, Kong Xinyu's mother suddenly appeared and applauded: "Well said, reasonable." But the problem is that Meizhou has eight counties, each county has several cities, and each city has dozens of villages. With such a large area, it is inevitable that there will be management lapses.

However, at the root of it, the previous Meizhou was too chaotic for those in power to deal with. I guess you should know very well the reason for the confusion, right? Now, the governor is determined to clean up Meizhou, the purpose is to protect the people of a state and prevent the tragedy from happening again.

So, the question is, if you want to protect the people of this state, is it feasible to just talk about it? Answer: Of course not. Evil cultivation is chaotic, and it needs to be eradicated by the corresponding cultivators. And cultivating these guards requires a lot of resources.

But now, you are disrupting the venue for your own selfishness. In this way, don't you feel that putting the cart before the horse is contrary to the original intention? ”

These words really spoke to Lin Man'er's heart. He naturally hated evil cultivation very much, and it was precisely because of his hatred of evil cultivation that he had the heart to become stronger. Thinking of this, Lin Man'er sighed heavily and expressed his willingness to accept the reward of the state pastor.

In this way, Lin Man'er's thorn can be regarded as bowing his head, and other dissenting immortal monarchs have no choice but to bow their heads. There is no way, they are not as special as Lin Man'er, and they dare to speak back to the lord of Meizhou.

Dongfang Yunyan is very satisfied with this result, and it can be said that it has gone even more smoothly than expected. Therefore, he announced on the spot that for the prosperity of Meizhou, he would exempt all parties from taxes for a hundred years in the name of the state pastor. In this way, it can be said that it is a combination of grace and prestige.

The participants suddenly got the sweetness in the disappointment and grievance, and they were naturally very happy in their hearts. So, everyone raised their glasses and paid tribute to the generosity of the state pastor. Dongfang Yunyan took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Okay, Benzhou and all the monarchs drink this cup, and I wish my Meizhou prosperity in the future." ”

At this point, the chaotic situation in Meizhou has officially come to an end. What the future holds, people are looking forward to!
