230 Chapter 230 Orthodoxy of Gantian (1/2)
Whilst speaking, the corner of Zong Hao's eyes looked right at Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei who were seated at the elevated section. Not only him, but the other people in the hall did so too.
They all knew that who the monster king would be depended on the 2 of them.
One of them was in charge of 600 thousand troops of Gantian mountain, many of his disciples were in the army with many trusted right-hand men. The other was the race leader of the iron tiger race, not only controlling the 100 thousand elite of the iron tiger race but was also the leader of the many tiger races. Within Gantian Mountain he was the expert only weaker than Zong Weiran. A famous general in Donglin who had never lost before when he led troops to war.
If these 2 people didn't speak, even if the people in the hall joint hands and decided on a monster king, there would still be a chance that it would be overturned.
The debating noises in the hall filled the year. Chai Yuan was a little impatient, frowning, ”Hu Qianqiu, you should speak too. You are the clearest about what is happening with the prince. Since that is the case, do you still want him to ascend the throne?”
Hu Qianqiu smiled, casually saying, ”So what if I do? Gantian Mountain belongs to the ruler and even if he died, only his son can take over. What Zong Shi and Zong Yang, where did these trash come from. I don't recognize them. To actually dare to fight with the prince. If they weren't the same race as the ruler, I would slap them to death. Old Qiu are my words correct?”
When he spat out those words, the entire hall was totally silent. Before this everyone knew that Hu Qianqiu might personally take care of Zong Shou and might still support him.
However, this was the first time he made it clear to everyone.
Qiu Wei's eyes lit up, he smiled, ”That's right! You cannot be more right, even if Gantian Mountain falls it should fall in the prince's hands. If you are not the son of the spring then you should just scram. What right do you have to inherit the throne?”
Ling Fakong frowned, only to feel his head hurt. The current situation was undoubtedly the worst possible one.
Looking around the hall, everyone in the hall still keep silent. However, a portion of them was smiling, evidently agreeing with what Qiu Wei said. Ling Fakong wasn't surprised at all, sighing, ”The 2 of you are not helping the prince, you are harming him. In this chaotic world, the strong are respected. The prince cannot cultivate, so how would the people look up and follow him? Even if we go all out to support him if others want to harm the prince, what can we do?”
Hu Qianqiu scoffed coldly. If one spoke about how the strong are respected, how many in this world could beat the prince in the future?
The last person who told the prince that the strong was respected, the Xuan Mountain City lord had been defeated badly and was nearly beaten up by the prince.
Following which Ling Fakong shook his head, ”Even if we don't discuss that, the prince might not be able to inherit the position of Gantian Mountain ruler. Saying a word of truth, Blazing Flame Mountain and Yunxia Mountain have started to build a city at the entrance to Ruohai Straits. The Cloud Ocean is also locked down by the thousand warships of Taoyun City so the prince might not be able to return back to Gantian Mountain. What brother Qianqiu might not know is that not long ago the prince had led 4 thousand elite of Xuan Mountain City and enter the Ruohai Straits. Isn't he asking to die? Even if that Xiong Kui and Feng Yu didn't kill him and released him, such a person doesn't have the right to inherit Gantian Mountain. Who knows if he would become a controlled puppet and will have any trade with both Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain…”
With those words said, the few people sat at the lowered portion of the hall, be it Zong Shi Zong Yang or Zong Ming Zong Hao they all smiled.
The rest of the people were deep in thought.
Hu Qianqiu's face turned slightly green. Just as he was about to speak, he saw several red shadows at the corner of his eye which suddenly pierced in from outside the gates. His brows furrowed as he held one of the red swift birds in his hand.
Looking at the letter within the tube, he was totally startled. Following which he blinked his eyes in disbelief, only to see the words on the paper remain the same.
Then he looked around at the hall. Apart from Qiu Wei who was the same at him, filled with shock and happiness. The other few people who received the message, their faces turned green and white. The only similarity was that their eyes were filled with disbelief.
...At first glance, one really couldn't believe it. Killing 4 generals, using 3 thousand iron cavalry to trample over the formation of 400 thousand, wasn't this too exaggerated. His first feeling was that his stupid son was making up stories to bluff him. That kid who thinks he was smart was becoming dumber and dumber, not even knowing how to lie. When he returns he would definitely give him a good beating.
But, when he saw the expressions of the people in the hall, he had a bit of confidence. If his son was wrong, it was impossible that the scouts and spies sent out by the others would be wrong too.
It was actually true. The 400 thousand alliance army of Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain had actually lost! They lost to the prince!
Hu Qianqiu could only feel an insuppressible joy rush up in his heart. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, his voice was so loud that it caused the windows of the hall to start shaking. Numerous dust fell down, and even the 50 thousand Gantian Mountain soldiers outside on the drill field were surprised and didn't know what was going on.
Within the hall, all the race leaders, as well as the generals who had the rights to attend the meeting, also didn't know what was going on, looking right at Hu Qianqiu who had burst out in a maniacal laugh.
Although they didn't know what had happened, from the complicated expressions on the faces of Zong Ming, Zong Hao, and Ling Fakong, they knew that something must have occurred. And it was most likely it was beneficial to the prince.
