"Support Lord Shui! Defend Peerless City!"
"Support Lord Shui! Defend Peerless City! "
Everyone in the seventy-two business districts were shouting. This wasn't the same as the cheers at the beginning. It could even be said that the cheers had been drowned out.
Dong, dong, dong, dong. Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from the south of the city.
Today was the day of the City Lord Election, and the four gates of Peerless City were closed. Only when there was an emergency would the alarm sound.
When the alarm sounded, Peerless City and the seventy-two business districts fell silent. Everyone quieted down and looked toward the south of the city. Alarm? Why would there be an alarm at this time? The Great Yu Imperial Dynasty? Was it the army of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty?
Everyone stared at the south of the city with wide eyes. Many people even slowly flew up. Even in the business district, where flying was forbidden, they all flew up.
Just as everyone was worried, the war drums stopped at the south of the city. Then came the voice of the city guard.
"The south gate was attacked by an unknown demonic beast because there was no one blocking it. It was a lone demonic beast. Now that it has left, there is no need to worry."
When the voice came, everyone sighed. It wasn't the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, but a small demonic beast.
But this time, it was a small demonic beast. What about next time? What if it wasn't a demonic beast? What if it was the army of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty? Everyone's heart sank.
"Support Lord Shui! Defend Peerless City!"
This time, another person shouted.
"Support Lord Shui! Defend Peerless City!"
… … …
… … …
… …
The tsunami-like cheers continued after the war drums sounded the alarm in the south of the city. It was several times louder than before.
The people of Peerless City were boiling. Countless people were shouting, "Support Lord Shui! Support Lord Shui!"
"Support Lord Mo!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
It was a member of Mo Baili's propaganda team, one of his supporters.
"Bah!"
That person was spat on.
"Boom, boom, boom … …"
Then, the place where that person was standing was shrouded in a cloud of smoke that was filled with a large amount of rumbling sounds. When the rumbling sounds subsided, the smoke slowly dispersed. The only one left was the man from before, who was now covered in wounds. His body was in tatters, and he looked no different from a beggar in the mortal world. He lay there twitching, unable to crawl to his feet.
Mo Yanbing listened to the cheers and shouts from the outside world. He was stunned. Was there no other way?
Similarly, Mo Baili led the officials of the northern city and stood on the tiger. He looked at the countless citizens and shouted, "Support Lord Shui! Protect Wushuang City!"
Seeing the cold gazes of countless people in the distance, Mo Baili knew that he couldn't continue on this path. His heart suddenly felt cold. He ignored the crowd and quickly rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. Canvassing for votes? Forget about it.
In a secret room in the same division in Southern City.
The arrow in Shui Tianya's chest had already been pulled out, and he applied some medicine on it. He looked refreshed.
Shui Wuhen stood by the side, her face filled with excitement.
"Father, how was it? Did I do well?" asked Shui Wuhen.
"There's no problem. With Mister's plan, it would be hard for your father to not be the City Lord. Wuhen," Shui Tianya said.
"Yes, father," said Shui Wuhen immediately.
"In the future, no matter what the situation is, don't stand opposite your junior brother," said Shui Tianya.
"Eh?" Shui Wuhen didn't understand.
"Your junior brother, Mister Zhong Shan, is too scary. No matter what position he stands on in the future, don't stand opposite him," said Shui Tianya again.
"Yes, father," Shui Wuhen nodded.
"Mm, then let's wait. Since you said it's Haishi, then we'll go to the City Lord's Mansion at Haishi," said Shui Tianya with a smile.
"Yes," replied Shui Wuhen.
After Ah Da shot the arrow, the place became chaotic. Ah Da took advantage of the chaos and left the scene in the blink of an eye, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
When Ah Da arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he showed his token and went straight in. He went straight to Princess Qian You.
Seeing Ah Da's arrival, Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan, and Ah Er all stared at him.
Ah Da smiled, and the three of them sighed.
At this moment, Shui Wuhen's' confession of love 'suddenly came from the city. A wave of sorrow came from Shui Wuhen's mouth, accompanied by the sound of rain and tears.
Even some of the officials in the square clenched their fists.
"Shui Tianya was attacked by an assassin?" Gu Lin said in surprise, then joy appeared on his face.
Seeing Gu Lin's expression, Zhong Shan was stunned. Sure enough, this prince was extraordinary. How could he be happy at this time? Did he really think that Shui Tianya couldn't get more votes?
Then, the sound of war drums came from the south of the city. The war drums came too suddenly, and it was too timely. In the square, even some of the more timid officials showed fear. Was the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty really going to break the agreement? Was the attack coming?
When the guards at the city gate announced that it was only a demonic beast, a trace of relief appeared on everyone's face, and Gu Lin also showed a trace of a smile.
At this moment, loud cheers came from the city.
"Support Lord Shui and protect Peerless City!"
"Support Lord Shui and protect Peerless City!"
… … …
… … … …
Each wave was louder than the last, and the loud cheers made Gu Lin's expression freeze.
"What's going on? What's going on? "Gu Lin shouted.
At this moment, the votes on the southern jade wall were rapidly changing.
Shui Tianya's votes shot straight up like an arrow, while Mo Baili's votes increased like a tortoise crawling. Of course, there were also insightful people in the city, and not everyone believed that it was a coincidence.
"What's going on? What's going on? "Gu Lin exclaimed with wide eyes.
Princess Qian You smiled and turned to look at Zhong Shan with a sigh. Zhong Shan just closed his eyes and nodded. He was only a third-rank guard now, not a strategist.
"Shui Jing, Shui Jing, you're here. Quick, tell me what's going on. Why is the whole city chanting for Shui Tianya? Why is his votes increasing so quickly? "Gu Lin immediately shouted.
Princess Qian You immediately looked away. She looked at Mister Shui Jing who was slowly walking over.
"Shui Jing, what's going on? Didn't you say that you would definitely win? "Gu Lin immediately shouted.
"Crown Prince, we lost. Princess Qian You won." Mister Shui Jing said calmly, without a trace of regret on his face.
"Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Mo Baili, you're back too? Tell me, what's going on? "Gu Lin immediately shouted at Mo Baili who was walking over, his face full of hatred.
After being freed, Mister Shui Jing walked over to Princess Qian You.
Seeing Princess Qian You, Mister Shui Jing bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Princess."
"Mister Shui Jing is too polite." Princess Qian You smiled.
"Who is this? The one from Eight Gate Mountain …? Zhong Shan? "Mister Shui Jing immediately saw Zhong Shan. He recognized him at a glance.
"I'm Zhong Shan, a third-rank guard. I didn't expect Mister Shui Jing to remember a small fry like me. Sorry for my lack of manners." Zhong Shan was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Small fry? Haha, I should be the one being disrespectful. I'm Shui Jing. "Mister Shui Jing looked at Zhong Shan and said his name again.
Looking at Mister Shui Jing, Zhong Shan smiled faintly. Mister Shui Jing was able to tell that he was the mastermind behind Princess Qian You at a glance. This was not an exaggeration. Otherwise, he wouldn't be Mister Shui Jing. Reporting his name was a form of respect for Zhong Shan.
"Zhong Shan." Zhong Shan replied.
"Mister Shui Jing, Zhong Shan is just my guard." Princess Qian You smiled at Mister Shui Jing.
Looking at Princess Qian You, Mister Shui Jing immediately understood her intentions. She was warning him not to expose Zhong Shan's identity.
"Yes, Zhong Shan is the princess' guard." Mister Shui Jing nodded and smiled.
In the eyes of others, the three of them had said some strange things. However, in their hearts, they had said everything that needed to be said and explained everything that needed to be said. This was the conversation between smart people. There was no need for complicated words. Just a few simple sentences were enough to convey a lot of information.
"This time, I'm in a terrible fix. This is the first time I've lost." Mister Shui Jing laughed very directly.
"Mister Shui Jing is too humble. If not for Mister Shui Jing holding back, we wouldn't have won." Princess Qian You smiled.
At this moment, Gu Lin walked over with a dark expression with Mo Bai Li in the distance.
"Qian You, congratulations." Gu Lin said. His previous pride had already faded. Now, he was filled with anger. He was angry that Mo Bai Li had failed to live up to expectations. He was angry that Mister Shui Jing had not won. He was angry that Shui Tianya had won.
In any case, other than Princess Qian You, Gu Lin hated everyone.
Hearing Gu Lin's congratulations, Princess Qian You looked up at the jade wall in the distance.
Mo Bai Li: 4.45 million votes.
Shui Tianya: 5.55 million votes.
In just a split second, Shui Tianya's votes increased by 2.05 million while Mo Bai Li's increased by only 50,000 votes. There was an additional two million votes, forty times the original amount.
This was a shocking reversal!
A reversal of the universe!
At this moment, the magnificent change in the number of votes had truly dazzled everyone. Shui Tianya had won, Shui Tianya had won, he had won by an overwhelming margin.
Princess Qian You excitedly looked at the votes in the distance while listening to the uproar of the citizens. She was very happy, not because of Shui Tianya's victory, but because she had subdued an absolute Virtuous Paragon, a paragon who could reverse the situation in the face of adversity.
Meanwhile, Zhong Shan had been standing in the back with a solemn expression. His heart didn't tremble at all. It was only an election, what was there to be proud of? His goal was not to have a good time in the Daluo Dynasty, but to be able to quickly rise in the Daikon State. He wanted to become powerful. Everything else was just an illusion and a fleeting cloud. Zhong Shan's mentality was very upright. Very pure.
PS: The election is about to end. The appetizer is about to end. Next is the real feast for the eyes. Today's goal is three hundred votes. Only twelve votes left. Those who still have votes, please vote for me. There is an update tonight. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
