Seeing Shangguan Yan, Qingteng Sanren felt much relieved. He had suffered a lot in the past two days. What he was most worried about was that something would happen to the daughter of the head of Tongcoff County. In that case, not only would he be unable to return to Kuzhong City, he would also be unable to do business.
Facing the wrath of Tongcoff County, Shangguan Yan is now safe and sound, and seven of the ten candidates for the primary election of the Holy Son have returned. When he meets the Lord of the City later, he can barely make a deal.
After arranging the affairs of the guards, Qingteng Sanren called the seven candidates together individually to discuss the next step. Qingteng Sanren was the first to speak: "We have been guarding here for nearly two days.
Anyone who doesn’t come back at this time may have died in the hands of the enemy. Should we leave here and go to Withered Tomb City tomorrow?”
Bai Qing next to him nodded and said: "Yes, although it is two hundred miles away from where we were attacked, no one can guarantee whether those people will chase us. It is still not safe enough here. Now that Junior Sister Yan is back,
Well, we might as well set off as soon as possible to avoid a long night of dreams."
The other five people's families were much weaker than the Bai family and Shangguan family. They simply did not express their opinions. When it was Shangguan Yan's turn, she thought about it and said: "I feel a little anxious to leave tomorrow. Maybe someone is here."
We were delayed by other things on the way. For example, Ma Xingchen and I just arrived, didn’t we? Why don’t we wait another day tomorrow, wait enough for three days, and set off the day after tomorrow. If no one has come back by then, it’s no wonder
We are."
Shangguan Ping is dead, and now Shangguan Yan can also represent the Shangguan family and half of Tongcoff County. She expressed her position. Qingteng Sanren couldn't refute, so they could only say: "That's okay, how many of us in this group have
If you are seriously injured and traveling too fast is not conducive to recovery, then you should wait one more day and set off again the day after tomorrow. We are getting closer to Dry Tomb City and those people may not have the guts to chase after you."
Ma Xingchen, a member of Qingteng Sanren, suddenly said: "Do you think this matter is strange? Those people are not trying to steal money, but they pretend to be bandits. It seems very unreasonable."
"Looking at them, they seem to have a grudge against our Tongcoff County. They seem to be trying to sabotage our participation in the primary election of the Holy Son. It's puzzling." Another candidate said.
Bai Qing said: "The one who has a problem with us is Tiecheng County, which is next to Tongcoff County. In recent years, there has been a lot of trouble between the two counties. Maybe it was their people who did it?"
"But why would they do that?" asked another.
Shangguan Yan said: "Tiecheng County and Tongcoff County are not only bordering on land, but also have various disputes. The two counties are also about the same strength. They have always refused to obey the other. Our Tongcoff County is better and does not bother to use those subordinates.
It's different in Tiecheng County. No matter what happens, they will try their best to outsmart us, even if it doesn't benefit them at all."
Hearing what Shangguan Yan said, Bai Qing became more and more convinced and said, "Yes, only the people in Tiecheng County can do this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself."
"But this matter is baseless, and we can't just insist that it was someone from Tiecheng County who did it. What if we make a mistake?" Ma Xingchen said hesitantly.
Bai Qing was convinced that it was someone from Tiecheng County who did it. He said categorically: "It's absolutely true. The people selected in the preliminaries for the Holy Son this time are all elites from Tongcoff County. They have great potential in the future. This pass from Tiecheng County
The operation does not require much effort to capture all the elites in Tongcoff County. The results may not be visible now, but in thirty, fifty or a hundred years, the gap between the two counties will be completely widened.
.Even if this mission is unsuccessful, as is the case now, and they only kill a few of them, it will still have the effect of dampening our fighting spirit. If everyone is so disturbed, maybe all of the Holy Son primaries will be over.
The army was destroyed."
After listening to Bai Qing's analysis, the more everyone thought about it, the more reasonable they felt. Shangguan Yan nodded and said: "Yes, our Tongcoff County's performance in the entire Kuzhong City is not too outstanding, and we have not committed any crimes against other forces, except Tie Tie.
In Chengxian County, other forces have no motive to do this."
"During the melee the night before yesterday, I heard the accents of several people on the other side. They were vaguely from Tiecheng County. There was no one else except them." Another candidate said.
After some discussion, everyone thought that the person who did this must be someone from Tiecheng County. Qingteng Sanren couldn't help but nodded and said: "If this is the case, I will definitely report it to the Lord of the City after I go back and hold Tiecheng County accountable."
If they dare to destroy the Infinite Holy Lord, the people in Tiecheng County are so bold. This time, they will definitely be left with nothing to eat."
After talking about this matter, Shangguan Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I still have something to discuss with Qingteng Sanren, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
The Shangguan family still had to give face, so Qingteng Sanren asked: "What's the matter?"
Shangguan Yan said: "According to the requirements of the Holy Son preliminaries, each county can select ten places to go to Kuzhong City to participate in the Holy Son preliminaries. Such a thing happened in our Tongcoff County. So far, only seven candidates have returned safely.
, if the remaining three never come back, wouldn’t Tongcoff County have wasted three places? So I would like to ask Qingteng Sanren to agree to let Tongcoff County by-elect three people and gather ten saints again.
Candidates in the primary election should reduce some losses in this matter."
Bai Qing also had this intention and echoed: "What Junior Sister Yan said is that our Tongcoff County lost three elites in this incident. We cannot waste even the quota for the primary election of the Holy Son. We can by-elect three
People are the best. It would be great if the brothers Ju Jiao and Ju Han could come back. Ju Han was ranked 11th at the beginning. If there was a by-election, he would be the first candidate, and he followed him all the way.
It didn't take much trouble to choose, but it's a pity that the two brothers at home were not lucky enough. They haven't escaped yet, and I don't know if something happened on the way."
This matter is related to the common interests of Tongcoff County. As a member of Tongcoff County, we naturally have to fight for it with all our strength. Others have also expressed their opinions and asked for three more by-elections.
Regarding the by-election of candidates, Qingteng Sanren had no objections. The previous ten people were selected under his supervision. Before they had time to report to Kuzuka City, it was not a big deal to change a few of them. Qingteng
San Ren said: "I can agree to your by-election, but do you have suitable candidates now? If it is in Tongcoff County at this time, that's it. Let alone three people, it is not enough to elect 300 people, not 30,000 people.
The question is, where can I find someone in the wilderness now? The primary election for the Holy Son of Kuzhong City will start in less than two months, and a round trip to Tongcoff County will take at least four months, which is simply too late.
