Chapter 919 The Worries of the Other Two Elders

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, the embarrassment on Keen's old face obviously eased a lot.

In the current desperate situation, if someone else is still so calm, the chief elder of the Shanglu family will definitely sneer.

And standing in front of him was Your Excellency Ke Qing who defeated the Allied Forces of the Fallen Nobles twice and assisted His Royal Highness Ariel in capturing half of Leng Yan's country.

How dare he doubt the slightest bit of what a big man like this is capable of calling the wind and rain?

"To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, the matter is like this."

Old Keen took a deep breath slowly, and immediately said with a serious expression on his face: "Although it is theoretically possible to support Lin Nizi to ascend to the position of Patriarch, there are still two crucial problems."

"First, there is the issue of the number of supporters. Your Excellency Keqing must have learned that the elders of the Shanglu family consist of 11 elders. To implement the resolution to change the head of the family, at least 6 elders are required to support it."

Speaking of this, Old Keen looked at the other three elders beside him, shook his head helplessly and said: "But as you have seen, there are only four people here, and two crucial votes of approval are missing. "

After old Keen finished speaking, the other three elders shook their heads and sighed, their wrinkled old faces were full of helplessness.

It is precisely because of their small number of people that Hanshui has carried out many resolutions in recent years that everyone is happy on the surface, but in fact secretly suppresses them, and gradually erodes their power.

But they can only watch all this happen, there is nothing they can do.

"Elder Keen doesn't have to worry. I've heard about the other two neutral elders. I have my own way to turn them to our side."

Lei Xiao waved his hand casually, smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about the second problem."

"As expected of Your Excellency Keqing, the matter of the approval vote has already been prepared."

Old Keen stroked his gray beard lightly, and his expression became serious again: "The second thing is about the Patriarch itself."

"Even if we have 6 votes of approval, we still need to find a suitable reason to lure Hanshui back to Lionheart City, and then hold a family meeting to pull him down from the family throne face to face."

The seriousness on Ke En's old face became more and more obvious, and he continued: "Otherwise, if Han Shui himself is not in Lion Heart City, even if he is pulled down from the throne, I am afraid that he will insist on leading the army because of his deep roots, and continue to threaten Your Excellency Keqing and His Highness the Princess .”

"It makes sense. This is exactly what I'm worried about. Although we now have the full support of the collateral, Hanshui has indeed been deeply rooted in the Shanglu family after so many years of operation."

Lei Xiao frowned, and nodded thoughtfully.

Before that, although he had ordered Gail, who was the leader of the collateral line, to secretly obtain the support of all collateral members.

However, collateral forces account for at most 10% of the entire Shanglu family, and it is obviously difficult to play a decisive role.

Therefore, just as old Keane said, after getting the support of the two neutral elders, he had to find a way to lure the cold water around the fourth prince back to Lionheart City, so as to be safe.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao frowned and said: "Elder Keen, what can you do about this?"

"His Excellency Hui Keqing, Han Shui is thoughtful, if he finds out the clues, I am afraid that the matter will fall short, so this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."

Old Keen and the other three elders looked at each other, and after seeing a trace of confusion and caution in each other's old eyes, they responded: "I don't have any good solution for the time being."

"To tell you the truth, I actually have a solution. Since you have already used one trick to put yourself to death and survive, why don't we use another trick that is both true and false?"

Looking at the bewildered old faces of the elders, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, expressing his thoughts.

After Lei Xiao finished describing his method, Ke En and other elders couldn't help showing a sense of enlightenment on their old faces, and they said in unison: "As expected of your Excellency, the guest, speaking is a clever plan, and I fully agree with it!"

"Then it's not too late. Apart from the Illusory Eye, I will leave a few strong people to ensure the safety of this place, in case of accidents."

Lei Xiao moved his eyes, looked at the guards soldiers who were still circling under the castle, raised his eyebrows and said, "Elder Keen, come with me too, we should also go to the other place for a while. There are two neutral elders."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, with Jiang Li's slender fingers tapping lightly, the group disappeared in front of the other three elders in an instant.

...

"Has the whole castle been razed to the ground? I didn't expect that the four old Keane guys would be wiped out by cold water like this."

In an elegant and luxurious room, an old man with a red face put down his tea cup, sighed softly, and said to another bald old man: "It's a pity that their personalities are too strong, and they have to fight with Han Shui for so many years. Guys against each other."

"Actually, we can't blame them. After all, Hanshui did a lot of things that violated the precepts of the Shanglu family."

Holding the teacup, the bald old man shook his head helplessly, and then sighed: "But who would have expected that Han Shui would be so cruel."

"Hey, you old boy still has the face to sigh and sigh here. If you hadn't voted for it, how could Han Shui use the whole family's strength to lead the army to support the fourth prince?"

The red-faced old man sneered at the bald old man's exclamation, and snorted coldly: "This is tantamount to putting the fate of the entire Shanglu family on the fourth prince."

"I, what can I do?"

In the old eyes of the bald old man, there was obviously a little dodge look. He quickly took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, and argued: "That guy is talking nonsense, saying that you have agreed, and I naturally can't lag behind!"

"Don't quibble there, it's Hanshui who gave you a lot of fertile land."

The red-faced old man picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said dismissively, "I didn't expect you to be so hasty in such a matter that determines the fate of the family!"

"I think you're jealous. Haven't you occupied too much fertile land these years?"

The bald old man simply smashed the pot and smashed it, and no longer defended it. He blew his beard and stared: "Furthermore, the other two big families are all under the command of the fourth prince. So what if our Shanglu family gets involved again?"

"It's no longer a secret that those two families are suspected of disobedience, and now my Shanglu family has also been put on the surface. Don't you, old boy, not know the stakes in this? Not only is there a heart of disobedience, but also a dance with two wolves."

The red-faced old man was so angry that his beard was crooked, he put the teacup he just picked up on the table again, and said coldly: "If the fourth prince is defeated, or he was plotted against by those two families afterwards, causing our business The blood of the Lu family is withered, or even completely destroyed, and you and Han Shui will be the sinners of the family!"

"Scaremongering! Our Shanglu family is as strong as a cloud, and the top ten main armies are by no means inferior to the Lancaster and Yorkman clans. Even if they want to make a move, they have to weigh whether they have the ability!"

Hearing what the red-faced old man said, the bald-headed old man trembled as he picked up the teacup. He was obviously a little apprehensive, but he still said stubbornly: "Furthermore, how could it be possible for the three big families and the fourth prince to have millions of troops? fail?"

"Although my Shanglu family is as strong as a cloud, and its overall combat power is not inferior to that of Lancaster and Yorkman, its actual combat experience is far inferior to the two who have been guarding the border for many years, and the heads of those two families, one from the inside And the cunning on the outside, a guy who looks rough but is actually thoughtful, is not a guy who is easy to deal with."

The red-faced old man sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly and said: "The most important thing is that Hanshui guy is arrogant and domineering, always wanting to get ahead to get more benefits, don't you know that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated, just shoot the first bird. "

"You old boy always builds up the ambitions of others and destroys your own prestige."

The bald old man first put down his teacup, then spread his hands and said, "Anyway, the rice has been cooked, and the two of us are powerless."

"Then have you ever thought, since Kean and the other four have been killed by Hanshui's gang, what will they do next?"

The red-faced old man lowered his voice a little bit, and said solemnly: "The two of us have been standard scumbags over the years. We have gained a lot of benefits from Hanshui, but sometimes we stand on the opposite side. I am afraid that he already hates me and the two of us." My teeth itch."

"You mean that Hanshui guy will attack us two?!"

The bald old man touched his shiny forehead and said in disbelief, "Does that guy want to completely control the Presbyterian Council? No, he wants to completely control the Shanglu family? Although my power is not as good as that guy, but together with Keen and others, at least Accounting for more than 30% of the family, he is going to cut off his own arm."

"That guy has already taken a taboo step and participated in the power disputes of the royal family. There is nothing else he dare not do."

The red-faced old man took a deep breath slowly, his old eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, and he murmured: "Now, the two of us are standing in front of the abyss, and we may be swallowed by darkness at any time."

Just when the red-faced old man and the bald old man were talking about this.

Another sudden old voice rang out in the room: "It seems that you two fools have realized that you are on the verge of extinction."

"Is that the voice of Keen's old boy?"

Hearing the unexpected noise, the red-faced old man and the bald old man couldn't help being stunned, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.

Kean was indeed standing in the corner of the room, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Kean, you, aren't you dead?"

The red-faced old man jumped up from his seat, and said in amazement, "Why did you appear here out of thin air again?"

"Could this guy have suffered some terrible curse, and came to seek revenge from the two of us?"

On the smooth forehead of the bald old man, beads of sweat had already appeared, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "The two of us only knew about the attack on you, and we never participated in it!"

"I didn't expect that you two cunning old foxes would have a day of fear."

Keane's old face was full of disdain, and he snorted coldly and said lightly: "It's a pity that the four of us didn't die, and I let you down."

"What?!"

Hearing this surprising answer, the red-faced old man and the bald-headed old man looked at each other for a while, and then they couldn't believe it: "Even if you were able to get out of your shell, why did you appear here again?"

"Because behind us, there is no longer nothing. We are already standing against the mountain, with an unparalleled strong backing!"

Keane's old face was full of pride and firmness, and he smiled and said: "This lord and His Royal Highness will guide us to a miraculous road full of dawn!"

After speaking, Old Keen saluted his chest with reverence, and the figures of Lei Xiao and Ariel slowly emerged.

"His Royal Highness, Princess? Old, old minister, see Your Highness Princess!"

Seeing Ariel's slender figure, the red-faced old man and the bald old man were terrified, and quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Excuse me, you are the pillars of our Lengyan Kingdom who have worked hard for the Shanglu family."

Ariel nodded slightly, her fair and graceful face was calm.

Under Lei Xiao's deliberate training, Ariel has begun to look like a queen, and she has drifted away from the wayward and savage princess at first.

"The old minister thanked Her Highness the Princess!"

After standing up, the red-faced old man moved his eyes and landed on Lei Xiao, who was sitting on an equal footing with Ariel. He stroked his chest again and saluted, "Is this the famous guest, Your Excellency? Can I see you, old man?" It's an honor."

And the other bald old man also nodded quickly, and echoed: "Your Excellency, Keqing, you use soldiers like a god, and your reputation is like thunder!"

"Elder Aiwen, Elder Bazel, I'm just riding the wind and waves under the command of His Royal Highness Ariel, and there is nothing to brag about."

Lei Xiao nodded with a smile, his face full of gentleness.

Through the introduction of Old Keen, Lei Xiao has already learned about the situation of these two neutral elders.

In addition, from the beginning of the conversation between the two, Lei Xiao and the others had already arrived at the scene.

Therefore, I have a general understanding of the thoughts of these two neutral elders, and I know that they are already worried about their own safety in their hearts.

This will undoubtedly make the subsequent persuasion work smoother.

"To be honest with the two elders, there is only one purpose for me and Highness Ariel to come here, and that is to bring Han Shui down from the throne of Patriarch, that's all."

Lei Xiao didn't go around the bush at all, but directly stated his plan.

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, Keane also quickly expressed his attitude with the other three elders, and would always firmly stand by Lei Xiao and Ariel's side.

"His Excellency, Ke Qing, is really extraordinary. Using the simplest and most straightforward words, he said shocking things that ordinary people dare not even think about."

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, the red-faced elder named Aiwen and the bald elder named Bazel started to look at each other again after being amazed in their hearts.

After a while, old Aiwen coughed lightly, and said with a serious expression on his face: "Your Excellency, may I ask if you are sure of defeating the fourth prince?"

"Forgive this old man, if not, then the Shanglu family will change ownership at this time, which is tantamount to suicidal! The two of us will never agree!"
