The door to the Conference Hall was closed until midnight before it was opened again. Hundreds of people either filled with anticipation, excitement, or worry swarmed out. However, most of their faces were filled with exhaustion.
Zong Shou tossed out tens of proposals and most of them passed. However, as time passed, these people became more and more careful, thinking about it carefully before expressing their opinions. This was why they discussed for a full day.
Weirdly speaking, just as Zong Shou stepped out of the meeting hall, the monster body moved. With a thought, the fox tail and fox ears were all retracted into the body. This caused Zong Shou to heave a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the monster body wouldn't be able to be retracted.
"Ruler!"
A person suddenly appeared beside Zong Shou like a ghost. Zong Shou turned around and noticed that it was Renbo. At this moment, this treacherous official who caused him to lose millions of beast crystals was frowning.
"I don't understand why ruler built this meeting hall to restrict your own power?"
"This, it was said that during the ancient times, the three emperors prosperous era that the Confucians worshipped was like this. The chiefs and elders of the tribes would discuss matters together. The ancient ruler was only the leader of the tribes and ruled. He didn't have the power to kill or kill his subordinates. Prime minister Renbo came from the Confucians and you should have heard of it. Zong Shou isn't talented, but it shouldn't be wrong to imitate the actions of the ancient saints … "
Seeing Renbo's expression shake, his eyes filled with shock and respect, Zong Shou broke out into a laugh, "Prime minister really believed it? These righteous words were actually all fake. Zong Shou isn't interested in this and doesn't have time to bother about such complicated administrative matters. I also don't want to spend all day here in Gantian Mountain. "
Renbo was speechless, following which he laughed bitterly, "So that's the case! However, ruler won't you consider it? Ruler you are really wise. If Gantian Mountain is ruled by you, within a few years, the country's strength will greatly increase. At that time, it wouldn't be difficult to unify the Cloud Continent … "
Zong Shou, on the other hand, felt a little guilty. He only knew a little about politics, and there were a lot of things that he did not understand. He only had a few tricks up his sleeves, and they were almost used up now. If he really wanted to rule, then this Gantian Mountain would be messed up.
However, he wasn't willing to apologize, maintaining the demeanor of a wise ruler, directly shaking his head, "No matter how strong this Gantian Mountain is, can it let me roam freely in the world, let me hear the laws of heaven and earth, let me prove the pinnacle of the martial path? What if I want to do something new and unusual again? What do you plan to do, Prime Minister? "
One sentence stunned Renbo. Zong Shou said proudly, "Anyways, I'll leave the matters of Gantian Mountain to prime minister. Anyways, I can't totally let go … "
Hearing those few words, Renbo started to worry. With Zong Shou's personality, he might do things like banning Shili Ling Xiangding or doing things like this meeting hall.
At that time, he would have a headache. Thinking about that, Renbo wished that Zong Shou would behave in the future. It would be best if he didn't care about anything and scram.
What this highness was best at was twisting the truth. His actions were extravagant and extravagant, but he could still talk about principles, forcefully making himself think for Gantian Mountain.
Although he was smart, his actions were a little too preposterous. If this happened a few more times, his heart wouldn't be able to take it.
His prime minister position, in Zong Shou's words, only had 5 years. At that time, if he wanted to take over, he would need Zong Shou to nominate him and then get half of the people in the meeting hall to agree.
However, within these 5 years, he wouldn't be restricted by the ruler and could do whatever he wanted in Gantian Mountain. He could prove what he had learned for tens of years.
"The ruler is the leader of the subjects. No matter how the ruler messes up, if we can't persuade him, we can only listen to him. Why does the ruler have to do that? "
He pretended to try to persuade him to stay. Renbo's tone changed, "That ministry of war is the foundation of the ruler's power and you won't easily give it to others. However, although the ministry of personnel and ministry of punishment have power, they aren't the foundations. Ruler, please return it to the cabinet, if not it will be inconvenient … "
Zong Shou's expression instantly became weird. This Renbo was really a cunning official. He actually got used to the role so quickly and wanted to take the power from his bag. How shameless!
※ ※ ※
After arguing for a while, Zong Shou resisted Renbo's entanglement, only giving him some power in the ministry of personnel before sending him away.
After he came down from Zhengan Peak, Zong Shou still didn't return to his palace. He directly put on a disguise and left Gantian Mountain with a light carriage.
He didn't bring the other guards, only Zong Yuan, Hu Zhongyuan, and a few others to protect his carriage out of Gantian Mountain.
Hu Zhongyuan also didn't know where Zong Shou was going to go. Along the way, he scolded out in his heart. He said that he was in disguise, but Zong Shou's extravagant style still didn't change.
A brand-new Cloud-Crossing Carriage. In the small space of a hundred feet or so, there were a dozen or so spiritual formations inlaid in it. The decorations of the carriage outside were also extremely beautiful.
The few attendants were all Martial Ancestor experts and they were all riding Rank Four mounts. The armor on their bodies was also extremely exquisite.
Who could be fooled by such a showy display of extravagance? Those spies probably knew right away when they left the city. He was just deceiving himself.
First, they headed south to a place 1200 miles away from Gantian Mountain. Not long ago, this place was a subordinate city of Gantian Mountain. However, today it had turned into ruins.
Hu Zhongyuan was slightly delighted. He had personally destroyed this place. The city lord of this place was really unlucky to follow that short-lived Yue Guanyun during the cloud ocean hunt. Naturally, Zong Shou wanted to kill him to warn the monkeys.
As it was winter. The plains on both sides were covered in frost and snow. There was no one around. However, on that abandoned city, there were numerous people working hard.
Looking out, they were all tall and straight, with silver hair. Zong Shou got off the carriage and looked around. Not long later, his brows furrowed as he looked in one direction.
Only to see a beautiful little girl not making a sound. She was pulling a stone the size of two people, thousands of kilograms, up the city wall.
Zong Shou's brows furrowed, walking over in large steps and carrying the girl up. In the next instant, his eyes were filled with rage. This little brat's body was covered in green and purple patches, with tens of criss-crossing whip marks.
"Ruolan?"
Chu Xue was also shocked, her heart pained as she snatched Shi Ruolan over and hugged her. She seemed to have thought about something, taking out a bottle of medicine from her bag. She applied it on Shi Ruolan.
Even Ruoshui's brows furrowed, like she was a little annoyed.
After a short while, dozens of majestic figures arrived one after another. The one at the front was Shi Fatian.
Zong Shou's brows furrowed. When that Shi Fatian bowed in front of him, he laughed, "Is race leader Shi Fatian satisfied with this place?"
"Extremely satisfied, and I am really grateful!"
Shi Fatian bowed gratefully, his expression sincere, "The land here is fertile, much better than below the cloud ocean. I want to thank the ruler for allowing my snow lion race to see the light of day and have a place in Donglin Cloud Continent! "
Zong Shou nodded slightly, hearing that this snow lion race leader wanted to join him. Actually, within Gantian Mountain territory, this person had no choice.
"Then in race leader Shi's eyes, am I, Zong Shou, a trustworthy person?"
Seeing him nod his head in shock, Zong Shou laughed coldly, "Then why did race leader Shi break your promise to me? I passed Ruolan to you all because you are her close family, and it isn't good to take her away from you. I asked you to treat her well, and this is how you treat her? " Suddenly, he lifted his hand and tore apart the clothes on the back of Shi Ruolan's back. Immediately, a ghastly whip mark appeared.
Shi Fatian was originally at a loss, but when he heard the latter half, his face was like a pig liver, not knowing what to do.
In his eyes, Zong Shou's interest in his daughter was just because he liked her. Handing her back meant that he wasn't interested in her anymore.
He didn't expect that Zong Shou would place so much importance on this little girl.
All of a sudden, he didn't know how to reply. On the contrary, behind Shi Fatian, a tall silver-haired teen around twenty years old said furiously.
"The rules of my snow lion race are just like that! She is just a bastard, unable to awaken her bloodline. Useless people should listen to orders. Look at the other people of my race, aren't they the same? She was whipped so many times because she was so cheap, just twenty five thousand kilograms of green stone a day … "
When Shi Fatian heard that, he knew that things weren't good. Zong Shou's eyes opened wide, following which he laughed instead of being angry, "Who are you to be worthy of speaking to me? Why is it that in my eyes, the most cheap person here is you? "
Before his words landed, Zong Yuan's body suddenly flashed, lightning flashing in mid-air as he appeared in front of the teen, kicking out expressionlessly.
A moment later, there was a heavy 'peng' as the person was kicked hundreds of feet away. His body smashed into the wall in the distance, forming a deep hole.
Shi Fatian was both shocked and furious, his heart pained even more. This teen was his fourth son, and he usually loved and cared for him a lot. At this moment, he had lost consciousness, totally unconscious. Blood seeped from the corner of his lips, who knew how bad his injuries were.
Zong Shou was still angry, laughing coldly, "Twenty five thousand kilograms of green stone? Very good, this little girl's age, she's not even ten years old, right? Her cultivation hasn't even reached the 4th meridian of the Bodily Chakra realm. How about this, in 3 days send this person to Gantian Mountain. I won't treat him badly, just let him carry twenty fifty thousand kilograms of green stone a day, half a mile. Apart from that, he will receive 60 whips. How you all treated Ruolan, I will treat him the same … "
Shi Fatian was slightly shocked. His fourth son had just reached the ninth meridian of the Bodily Chakra Realm and only had ten thousand kilograms of strength. His rage couldn't be suppressed, "Ruler! My fourth son just doesn't know the rules and spoke rudely. Why do you have to do that? Ruolan is my daughter, how to treat her and how to raise her is the internal matter of my snow lion race. I know the rules of the Cloud Continent, the ruler doesn't have the power to interfere in the private matters of the subordinate races!
