556 An Eloquent Speech
556 An eloquent speech
Li Fan was so absurdly sent to Kyoto where Longtang's headquarters is located!
Longtang's headquarters, this is not a place where everyone can come. Even some people who have a good relationship with Longtang have never been to this place.
But now, as an enemy, Li Fan entered the gate of the Dragon Hall so generously, and was treated with delicious food and drink!
"Dong Ye, is it appropriate for you to bring an enemy into the headquarters?"
There are a large number of elders in Longtang, and these people sat around in a lobby, criticizing Dong Ye intensively and expressing their opinions.
The Longtang adopts the British parliamentary system. There are 50 members in the entire Presbyterian Church, and there is also a Great Elder who has nine votes and plays a very decisive role.
"It's the only option."
Dong Ye stood in the center of the hall, watched by the elders, without changing his face.
Feng Xing was standing not far behind him, even in the Dragon Hall, he was still acting as Dong Ye's bodyguard.
"In City A, our strength has been uprooted. Even if the elite dragonmen are airborne, you will see the end. Now in City A, the Red Dragon Society has a strong army, and Li Fan's Extraordinary Escort Agency has too many quack masters , it is basically impossible for us to take back City A."
"Dong Ye, you are raising the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige!"
A certain elder couldn't help but reprimanded, "If this was in ancient times, you would be charged with disturbing the morale of the army, and you would be chopped alive in front of the battle!"
"That's really thanks to the rapid progress of society."
Dong Ye clasped his hands together and expressed his thanks sincerely.
"Dong Ye, don't be glib here! Put away your tricks!"
Another elder scolded, "Our Longtang has a solid foundation in China and has a great reputation, how can a little red dragon ride on our heads and shit! And the disadvantages in City A are all due to your poor command! "
Feng Xing frowned, the elder's words were a bit too much.
"As the head of the branch hall, you can't even handle a small Red Dragon Society, and even lost a Twelve Saints!"
The elder vented his dissatisfaction, "It's simply ridiculous! I'm starting to doubt your ability now!"
Dong Ye has a good temper and good self-cultivation. He stood there without being annoyed, but said slowly, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Even if I am, it is impossible to be perfect. However, even if you give me I don't even have the confidence to win City A with a group of people. If you elders have someone to choose, just choose to replace me."
"Dong Ye, don't be too arrogant! You are not the only one who can be used in the Dragon Hall!"
"I've never said that before, I'll let you choose one."
Dong Ye said with a smile, "If you need, I can leave this position."
"We... didn't let you go either."
An elder next to him rushed out to speak softly, Dong Ye's position in the Dragon Hall was too important, he was a descendant of Liu Jinchan, many people in the martial arts world admired him, and the Twelve Saints of the Dragon Hall also looked up to him. If he left, the Twelve Saints of the Dragon Hall might also leave with him.
Without the Twelve Saints of the Dragon Hall... the Dragon Hall will collapse in half! Without the help of the forces of Jianghu, the underworld forces would not be able to go too far in a place like China where dragons and tigers are hidden.
"Then elders, what do you mean by keeping me here?"
Dong Ye always had a smile on his face.
"This Li Fan must be executed!"
One of the elders couldn't help roaring out, "If we don't execute him, how can we save our face! The honor of the Dragon Hall must not be humiliated!"
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Dong Ye shook his head, "I made an agreement with Li Fan that I will protect him when he comes here."
"Dong Ye, is Longtang the place where you have the final say?"
The elder glared at Dong Ye, "And you want to protect an enemy, what are you so worried about?"
"That's right, what's your plan?"
"Could it be that you have already colluded with this Li Fan?"
"I knew it, you kid has a different heart!"
These elders accused Dong Ye one after another, and Dong Ye was not in a hurry, waiting for them to finish their words.
Just when it was normal to be noisy, the Great Elder took out a small hammer and knocked hard on the table twice.
Only then did the elders calm down, and the Great Elder spoke.
"Dong Ye, tell me, what are your plans."
"This Li Fan, no matter what, he is a quack."
Dong Ye nodded, and expressed his thoughts, "I can make an agreement with him to decide the outcome by martial arts. If we win, Chilong will disband, and they will release Yang Ruining unconditionally, and Li Fan will be responsible for killing eight people." For the crime of the elder, he surrendered himself to prison. And Liu Xinnan, we will deal with it. All the shares of their Liu family will be handed over to our Longtang."
This condition is indeed a bit tempting.
"Well, what if he wins?"
"The rules of the rivers and lakes, release him unconditionally."
What Dong Ye said caused the elders present to discuss a lot.
Obviously, on the other hand, they were a bit unacceptable.
"Wouldn't it be better to kill him directly?"
"Yeah, why are you negotiating terms with this guy!"
"That's right, when does our Dragon Hall need to look at other people's eyes!"
Dong Ye shrugged his shoulders, "This is my only way, if you don't accept it, then I can only escort Li Fan away from Longtang."
"What did you say?"
"Dong Ye, are you crazy?"
"Unreasonable! Unreasonable! This man betrayed Longtang! He betrayed our oath!"
"quiet!"
The great elder tapped the small hammer again to silence the audience.
"Dong Ye, the referendum will be held immediately, do you have anything else to say?"
"Well, I really want to say a few words."
Dong Ye stood in the hall and said loudly, "Everyone, open your eyes and look at this society. The times have changed, and we are legal businessmen now! What do you think, continue to send people out every day To strangle those unarmed people and to use swords and guns to conquer territory? In this era, force belongs to the rivers and lakes. Only wealth belongs to us."
What he said made the elders present unable to refute.
"Li Fan is a man of the Jianghu, and they have the rules of the Jianghu! Do you think that if you kill Li Fan, the matter will be settled perfectly? No, this will only cause endless troubles for our Dragon Hall! Elders present, You are all getting old, do you still want to go out and fight with others? No, no, no, of course not, you never fight, you just sit at home, enjoy family happiness and collect money at the same time, don’t you? "
Everyone was speechless.
"If you want to cause trouble, ok, you can fight these martial arts people yourself. If you want to make money, then leave it to me, and I will let the matter end as soon as possible. It is time to make money, and continue to make money. Well, everyone, it's your turn." It's time to choose."
