Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 713 Angry Elder House
Ji's Elder's House is right behind the royal court, and Chen Zhi walked along the wide and long passage all the way to the depths.

The elders' courtyard is still so solemn and sacred, the black stone ladder is suspended in the air, leading to the top black pavilion.

Chen Zhi walked up the ancient cracked stone ladder, and saw from a distance, a group of elders headed by Ji Hu stood at the other end of the steps with angry faces to meet him. When they saw Chen Zhi appearing, they immediately They all knelt on the ground in unison.

"Patriarch, please save my Ji family!",
Ji Hu and the elders continued to shout emotionally,

"Our Ji family has been in existence for more than 5000 years. We advocate martial arts, are loyal and simple, and the glory of warriors has always been greater than life. However, the new leader will strip our chief warrior Ji Yang into exile. This is a shame and a shame. Now Everyone in the Xiqi royal family is in danger, and all the warriors of the Ji family are chilling. Please, the patriarch think of us as old, weak and dying, and restrain the rights of the new leader. Don't impose such severe punishment on the great warrior Ji Yang..., ah ~~~~~~Woo~~~~~"

Ji Hu was so excited that he started to howl, and all the elders behind him were also very excited. Their blood spurted out, and they almost set the entire city of Xiqi on fire.

Chen Zhi knew that this was the unique character of the Ji clan's royal family. Because they advocated martial arts and experienced battles, no matter how old they were, they could not be too calm. Moreover, these elders were the elite among the elite. The entire Xiqi King City is really going to be turned upside down.

"Elders, let's go in and talk~~~",
Chen Zhi bypassed them and walked all the way inside, Ji Hu followed all the way, talking non-stop.

"Samurai Ji Yang is different from others. He has made great military exploits in his life and created countless brilliance. Half of our organization is supported by him and the old leader. He and the old leader have been devoted to each other all their lives. They have saved..." .

"So what? Don't you know why the new leader punished him?" Chen Zhi asked after walking to the hall, sitting on the stone chair calmly,

"Elder Ji Hu, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a warrior? Is it military exploits or loyalty?"

"This……",
Chen Zhi's question left Ji Hu speechless,

"Ji Yang... the great warrior Ji Yang did speak against the new leader, but there is a reason for it. I can understand his feelings. The leader can punish him, but this punishment is too severe."

When Ji Hu said this, he was no longer so excited, his old brows drooped, and he looked a little helpless and sad,
"It's okay to exile Ji Yang, but it's a shame to have his family status taken away, and even his name. It's even more shameful than killing him. Ji Yang is also old... He has gone through countless lives and deaths in his life, why bother to humiliate him like this in the end? This..., this is tantamount to forcing him to the opposite Anbu! This is not wise!" Ji Hu's eyes turned red when he said this , asked tremblingly,

"Patriarch, Ji Yang and I have some personal relationships. Fallen leaves return to their roots. Since the new leader doesn't need him anymore, let the old man persuade him to come back, deprive him of the position of chief warrior, and let him enter the elders' home for the elderly!".

Chen Zhi listened carefully to every word Ji Hu said, and tapped his finger on the stone table lightly. After a long silence, he turned his head and asked Ji Hu,

"Elder Ji Hu, you just said that you can understand Ji Yang's mood. What do you mean? Do you think that Ji Yang was right to contradict the leader, and that the new leader is from a foreign surname, not a descendant of your Ji family, so he is not worthy of it? Inherit the throne?"

"No! No! No!",
At this moment, Ji Hu realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately stepped back a few steps and lowered his head.

"The subordinates dare not!".

"The new leader has taken over, and the leader's order is everything, whether it is right or wrong, it must be obeyed. You should know this rule better than me, right?" Chen Zhi asked seriously.

"yes!",
Ji Hu replied politely, "This subordinate just thinks that this punishment is really too heavy, and a little too unreasonable!"

"Whether it is reasonable or not is the leader's problem. Your task is only to carry out the task. As for the leader's thoughts... what does it have to do with you? Are you trying to interfere with the leader's thoughts? Do you want to usurp them?" Chen Zhi's face was extremely cold.

"Subordinates dare not, subordinates are guilty of capital punishment!",
Ji Hu knelt down immediately, and then the other elders followed him and huffed and knelt down. Chen Zhi's words were too heavy for them to bear.

Chen Zhi still tapped his fingers on the table calmly, looked down at the elders kneeling in front of him, remained silent for a long time, and finally said,

"You should have found out, right? The blue-ribbon warriors in the organization are extremely supportive of the new leader, even die-hard. Do you know why?"

"This……",
Chen Zhi's question was precisely on what Ji Hu had been wondering all along. From the day of the succession ceremony, everyone discovered that the blue ribbon warrior was loyal to the newly appointed Bao Ping, and even protected him with death. This was unexpected to everyone. .

"Well, I'll tell you why now..." Chen Zhi said calmly,

"Organization structure From the surface, the red belt warrior is the most powerful force, can kill dozens of blue belt warriors, and is the leader of all warriors. But don't forget, no matter how powerful the red belt warrior is, after all, only Five people, and the backbone of the organization is actually thousands of blue-ribbon warriors...",
Chen Zhi tapped the stone table rhythmically with his fingers, looked into Ji Hu's eyes,
"Do you remember? The old leader once placed the blue-belt warriors of his organization next to Bao Ping in batches. It was clearly to protect Bao Ping, but in fact it was to give them time to contact. The question actually has a big mystery behind it.

I have noticed that these blue-ribbon warriors send out different people each time, which means that they are in contact with Bao Ping in turn, and they are all the elite of the blue-ribbon warriors, and they echo all the blue-ribbon warriors.

During Bao Ping's more than ten years of missions for the organization, these blue-ribbon warriors have also followed him through life and death, sharing weal and woe. In exchange.

Believe it or not, if someone wants to pull Bao Ping down now, those blue-belt warriors would rather smash their bodies to protect him. Even if they are facing red-belt warriors, even if they are facing you..., they will not be afraid! "

"This……",
Ji Hu and the other elders kept kneeling on the ground, listening to Chen Zhi's words, their eyes fluttered, as if they were just waking up from a dream.

"Now do you understand? The old leader has long intended to leave the throne to his adopted son, and it has been doomed since more than ten years ago." Chen Zhi looked at the elders and continued,
"As for why the old leader chose someone with a foreign surname to succeed him, I think the reason should be this way.

The times have changed. This is not an era of relying on force alone. The position of organization leader no longer requires physical skills or magic power, but requires a higher vision and a commander-in-chief thinking. This is what Bao Ping possesses. .

Moreover, the organization has been respecting Ji's bloodline for thousands of years, which made the warriors with foreign surnames very suspicious. They have already learned lessons from blood. Fu Ye Wanda and his son and the last collective rebellion of warriors are an example.

The succession of Bao Ping, a man with a foreign surname, is undoubtedly a new hope for the warriors with a foreign surname, letting them know that the selection within the organization is fair, and there is hope regardless of their background. Only in this way can the balance of the organization be maintained, and the organization will have a future!

Elder Ji Hu, I've said so much, I've said everything you dare not to say, now you should give up!Bao Ping's succession is already doomed, and you have no ability to pull him down. "

"yes……",
Elder Ji Hu's face had turned pale, and his emotions were no longer agitated. Chen Zhi's straight-forward words completely exposed the dissatisfaction in his heart all along, and also disintegrated his obsession.

At this moment, Chen Zhi stood up, looked down at Ji Hu at his feet, and said seriously,
"Elder Ji Hu, don't have any doubts about the new leader. I won't mention what you said to me today, but if there is another time, I will take your doubts as disloyalty to the leader. You will be executed for the crime of treason. Don't forget that the organization's golden rule will never show mercy!"

"The subordinates are dull, and the words of the patriarch awakened the subordinates like a dream. The subordinates no longer dare to have narrow-minded thoughts. Please forgive me, the patriarch!"

Elder Ji Hu put his hands on the ground. This time, he completely surrendered...
