Chapter 10 The Governor Wants to Become King!
The Jietang is located in the center of the governor's mansion, with roads leading to all directions. Armored generals from outside are constantly rushing in.
Wang Yao asked Bai Changqiu to leave first, and he followed behind several generals, led by a general in silver armor. Wang Yao could feel the murderous aura emanating from these people.
How many people were killed? Wang Yao clicked his tongue and before he knew it, he arrived in front of the festival hall.
"Boom, boom, boom", "Woo, woo, woo", the sounds of drums and horns hit the hearts of the people who came one by one. Rows of big men with red turbans and bare chests were beating drums and blowing horns.
Two teams of guards, dressed in black armor and holding their sword handles in their right hands, examined each person who came in. Wang Yao silently accepted the inspection, and even his hair was checked cleanly.
There's a ghost mask on his face, it's scaring me, Wang Yao said in his heart unhappily, but he immediately regained his balance.
Because those generals with fierce and murderous looks also have to be inspected. Although they don’t have to take off their armor, their weapons will be confiscated.
Only the silver-armored general walked into the hall with a sword. Wang Yao was amazed. Who is this person? He is so awesome.
No one asked who Wang Yao was or whether he was qualified to enter the festival hall. Perhaps someone had told him so.
In the hall, the civil and military officials were divided into two rows, clearly distinguished from each other. They had already stood in position. Wang Yao was confused. Am I considered a civil official or a military official?
At this time, Chen Yuanhe came out from the back door and whispered, "You need to stand with the Supervisor. Follow me."
After leading Wang Yao to the pillars next to the civil and military columns, Wang Yao discovered that there were quite a few people standing there. Each of them had a calm and deep aura, and it seemed that they all had high cultivation levels.
"Ding, you have arrived at the check-in location, do you want to sign in?"
"yes!"
"Ding, sign-in successful, get the four-star reward of Qi-gazing Skill."
"Ding, it has been detected that the host has completed more than three check-ins, the system will be updated!"
Wang Yao was originally very happy when he heard that he had won a four-star reward, but suddenly a system update left him at a loss.
Update? How long does it take? It won’t be years or decades, it suddenly stops.
The system was originally Wang Yao's greatest reliance in this world. The sudden loss of it, even for a short time, made Wang Yao panic.
Because during this period of updating, Wang Yao was destined to become stronger only by relying on himself, and the mentality of being superior to others in his heart suddenly collapsed.
Wang Yao's face turned pale and he was a little at a loss, but when he clenched his fists, the abundant power calmed Wang Yao down.
I lack the heart of a strong man, and I still have an arrogant heart. How can I become stronger step by step! Even touch the ambition that knows no bounds in my heart and pursue immortality?
Wang Yao searched his heart and found that the sudden "loss" of the system had actually woken him up, just like now he would never dare to challenge a Gangqi realm master.
Are you lacking confidence? Facing yourself, gaining powerful strength, and possessing indestructible strength will give you confidence.
At this moment, Wang Yao's somewhat confused eyes became clear again, and an unwavering temperament emerged from Wang Yao.
The people nearby were also puzzled. Why did this kid's aura become stronger and weaker at times? Now it seemed a little hard to figure out?
Just as Wang Yao came to his senses, the sound of drums and trumpets finally stopped. Those who were late did not need to come in because the owner of the five counties of Suizhou, Governor Liu, had arrived.
Today, Governor Liu was no longer wearing the dragon robe bestowed by the emperor. Instead, he wore a third-rank lavender court robe, a five-beam crown on his head, and a goldfish bag around his waist, looking very formal.
By the way, can I use the Qigong technique? As soon as Wang Yao thought about it, the secret of the Qigong technique naturally came to his mind.
Gathering spiritual energy into his eyes, the Dao manifested itself. Slowly, the world around Wang Yao changed, filling everything with white clouds. Various red and yellow columns of air appeared behind everyone, nearly blinding Wang Yao. He only had time to glance at the governor sitting in the hall.
A cyan-yellow external destiny, and a pale cyan inner destiny? This is the destiny of a noble, truly invaluable, but it is surrounded by a gray aura of calamity.
Wang Yao closed his eyes to relieve the stinging in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't use it casually in such a place.
"Today, I, Liu Geng, will speak frankly with you. I am nearly sixty years old, and my only wish is to maintain peace in Suizhou! But the position of governor is really not justified. What suggestions do you have?" The low and majestic words of Governor Liu Geng forced Wang Yao to open his eyes again.
Liu Geng, who was sitting in the hall, glared at everyone fiercely, and with a picture of a tiger descending the mountain hanging behind him, he really made everyone bow their heads when they saw him.
"Your Excellency is right. Now that the capital has fallen and Emperor Yongping has died for his country, the world is in chaos. Your Excellency's love for the people is known to everyone. We have a wise ruler in Suizhou, and we congratulate the people of Suizhou!" The fourth-rank Beijia of Fengjun was the first to speak.
Isn't that just saying nothing? Wang Yao curled his lips. He had already found out the information of several important officials from Bai Changqiu.
"Your Excellency, the post of Inspector is really inappropriate for the current situation. Please take up the position of Governor as soon as possible." The Chief Secretary of the Inspectorate's Office spoke very briefly.
"Your servant, Chen Yuanhe, has a proposal: I ask you to declare yourself king and ensure the safety of Suizhou!"
"We second the motion!" The officials below looked at each other, then knelt down together.
Wang Yao opened his mouth wide and said, "I was wondering why the atmosphere felt a little off. This guy is just declaring himself king directly."
Only a few people did not second the motion, among them was the Fengjun Beijia who was wearing a scarlet robe. They looked unhappy, but did not dare to say anything.
Liu Geng glanced at the ministers below and said calmly, "No, this is not putting me in an unjust position."
Then he glanced at the people standing there calmly and asked, "What do you think, gentlemen?"
Hearing Liu Geng's question, one of them stiffened his neck and replied, "I don't think it's right to claim the title of king. Forcing it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people of Qingwu County, and even lead to a civil uprising!"
Wang Yao saw that he was short, with dark skin, a flat nose, and small, deep eyes. He should be the official sent by Qingwu County that Bai Changqiu mentioned.
Before Liu Geng could speak, a man stood up from the group of silent generals. It was the silver-armored general who entered the hall with a sword.
The silver-armored general angrily said, "Are you saying my father is incompetent in his administration? Or is he abusing the people? Everyone in Suizhou has witnessed my father's achievements. Please, father, kill this villain to appease the soldiers and civilians!"
Liu Geng glanced at the silver-armored general who had spoken up for him and said with relief, "My son, just focus on leading the troops and don't get involved in the affairs of the civil officials. As for this man, he deserves to be killed! Come on, drag him away and behead him!"
"Liu Geng, you won't succeed. Our king is the true king of this land!" Two guards immediately ran over to the door of the hall and dragged the man away, preventing him from shouting any more.
Only then did Wang Yao realize that General Yinjia was Liu Geng's son who led troops in the border area. He rarely came back and this time he must have come back specifically to support him.
Liu Geng calmed down and continued, "What do you think of Fengjun? Are we still waiting for some prince to step forward?"
The few people standing there couldn't stop shaking. At this point, there was no point in holding on any longer, so they all knelt down.
"We have no objection. Please declare yourself king! Soothe the people and resist the foreign enemies."
However, Liu Geng refused and continued, "No!"
After everyone asked and refused three times, Liu Geng looked embarrassed, as if he was forced to do something stupid, and turned around to leave the hall.
But he left a final word, "When you guys decide on the ceremony to crown yourself king, just call yourself King Sui!"
At this time, Wang Yao controlled the range of the Qi-gazing technique and only glanced at Liu Geng. A trace of indescribable purple air emerged in his external Qi.
However, more gray calamity energy surged towards Liu Geng's pillar of luck, and Suizhou could no longer find peace.
