"If we can't get information from one person, why don't we find a few more people to ask? I don't believe it. Don't tell me one person won't tell me?
If they don't, then we'll force them to tell us! "the Fourth Elder said.
"We can't kill them. This time, they are all trusted subordinates of the Outer King, and they are all Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivators.
If we kill these people, the Outer King won't let it go so easily! "the First Elder reminded.
"I only said to force them to tell us, I didn't say we'll kill them. Moreover, if we know that the Outer King is really injured, how can we give them a chance to report to the Outer King? Why don't we just kill our way to the Outer King's Palace? "the Fourth Elder said.
"But those people are all in the Outer King's Palace. It won't be easy for us to find them!" the Eighth Elder said.
"I have a way, it depends on whether everyone is willing to take the risk!" the Fourth Elder said.
"If the Outer King is really injured, it is indeed an opportunity. However, if the Outer King is dead, what if we become the Outer King? "the First Elder said.
If he didn't want to be the Outer King, it was absolutely impossible.
Perhaps it could be said that the eight elders present actually wanted to be the Outer King. Although they had power in the Outer Dynasty, compared to the status of the Outer King, it was not a small difference.
If something good happened in the Inner Dynasty, they would only think of the Outer King, not the Principal Elders.
Although they needed to pay tribute to the Inner Dynasty regularly, according to the value of the tribute, the Inner Dynasty would also give different levels of rewards to the Outer King. This was a treatment that the Principal Elders did not receive.
Therefore, after becoming the Outer King, not only would they receive more resources in the Outer Dynasty, but even in the Inner Dynasty, their status and benefits would also increase.
Because of this, if the Outer King were to step down or be killed, there was no one who didn't want to become the Outer King.
"I know that everyone wants to be the Outer King, but if we decide on a candidate, no matter who is chosen, the others will definitely not be convinced.
In that case, I can give everyone a suggestion. This is also the fairest way! "the Sixth Elder said.
"Old Six, tell us!" Everyone looked at the Sixth Elder curiously.
"If the Outer King is dead, then we will split the position equally!" the Sixth Elder said.
"Evenly split the position of Outer King? How was this possible? There was only one Outer King position, how could it be divided equally? Do you think it's a king's chair? Everyone gets a piece! "The Fourth Elder said in a bad mood.
"Of course not. What I mean is that we can all take turns to be the Outer King.
Set a time limit, for example, set a time limit of three years. After three years, the next King will be replaced. This way, everyone will have a share. This is definitely the fairest way! "The Sixth Elder said.
"Then who's going to be first? If I were to rank according to the order of the elders, wouldn't I have to wait for 21 years before I could sit on the position of Outer King? Isn't that too unfair to me? "The Eighth Elder said.
"That's why we can draw lots, and for the sake of fairness, after everyone takes turns, we'll draw lots again to decide the order of becoming the Outer King. This way, there's no such thing as fairness, it all depends on your luck!" the Sixth Elder said.
"This method is acceptable, but what if the inner court summons the Outer King? Wouldn't the people who go to the inner court be different every time?" The Great Elder said.
Although going to the inner court might not always be a good thing, once there was a good thing, wouldn't the person who became the Outer King make a huge profit?
"What does it matter? If it's different, then it's different. Anyway, the inner court doesn't care who the Outer King is. As long as they pay enough tribute within the stipulated time, it's fine, "the Sixth Elder said.
"But what if the inner court wants to give the Outer King a reward? For example, when I was the Outer King, I contributed to the inner court, and the Outer King would give me a reward. But when the reward is given, I've already been demoted. Then, does the reward belong to me or you? "The Great Elder said.
If there were no benefits, then it was naturally no problem for everyone to take turns.
But once it involved major benefits, he didn't believe that everyone would still be so obedient.
When the time came for someone else to take the position, all the benefits would belong to him alone. Wouldn't the person who made the contribution suffer a great loss?
"Then let's make it clear first, whoever makes the contribution gets the reward. This has nothing to do with who becomes the Outer King.
If it's a joint contribution over a period of time, then the inner court will give us an equal share of the reward. That way, there won't be a problem of who takes advantage of who! "The Sixth Elder replied again.
"En, whoever makes the contribution gets the reward. If two people make contributions during their reign, then if the inner court really has a reward, then it will be divided between two people. If it's four people, then it will be divided among four people.
If it's everyone, then it will be divided among everyone. It has nothing to do with who was the Outer King at that time! "The Third Elder said.
"Good! Then it's settled. If everyone is willing, I'm willing to take the risk! "The Second Elder said.
"I'm also willing, but it's still a little early to say this. Shouldn't we first find out whether the Outer King is really seriously injured?" The Fifth Elder reminded.
"Leave this matter to me. But before that, it's best for everyone to be prepared.
If possible, we'd better attack the Outer King's Mansion before tomorrow. Otherwise, if we delay for another day, the Outer King's injuries may recover even more. It's not good for us! "The Fourth Elder said.
"That's right. If we can confirm that the Outer King is seriously injured tonight, then we will take action tonight. We should settle this matter as soon as possible so that we don't have to worry about anything The Great Elder also agreed.
"Alright then, everyone go back and prepare. As soon as the Fourth Elder has news, immediately inform everyone to start a war with the City Lord's Mansion! "The Second Elder said.
"Alright!" The elders nodded and hurried back to the mansion with excitement, anticipation, and anxiety.
Once this matter was settled, then everyone's good days would come, so everyone hoped that the plan would go smoothly.
However, while the eight elders were plotting for the position of the Outer King, Cheng Yu was also plotting against the eight main elders.
"Listen up, tomorrow you will go and invite the eight elders to the back mountain. At that time, you will bring the entire Outer King's Mansion to guard the back mountain. Absolutely do not allow the eight elders' people to enter the back mountain. Do you understand?" Cheng Yu began to arrange everyone in his own residence in the Outer King's Mansion.
"Please rest assured, Outer King. We have already arranged everyone. We are just waiting to invite the eight main elders!" The leader said.
"Very good, you can leave first!" Cheng Yu nodded and waved his hand.
As long as the eight main elders were dealt with, then there would be no problem with the Outer Court.
"Boom!"
