Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]
Chapter 50: In Meeting · Black Crystal
The secretaries came down to distribute the brochures, which showed the products of each base, and Jiang Qi began to state the rules:
"From now on, each city lord has 5 minutes to speak, the content is not limited, try to show the advantages of their respective bases, and other city lords can ask questions within the time. Those who are interested can immediately sign a personal covenant, and the Panlong base will be a witness , within the time limit of the covenant, both parties shall fulfill their loyalty and shall not betray."
Jiang Qi opened the list of small bases and arranged them according to the level of the bases. The first person is the base city owner.
After Jiang Qi read out the name, the city owner of base d stood up from his seat, and said in a loud and rough voice: "Although we are a small base, we have the same area as a medium-sized base and are constantly expanding. Since last year, I have been constantly expanding from the south Introduce construction talents, explore construction techniques in the desert, and now have four satellite bases for placing captives in border towns. For allies, I am willing to provide construction assistance..." D City Master kept looking at the several City Masters of the medium-sized base while speaking .
An older city lord shook his head and said, "...that guy at base d is still too impatient."
Someone next to him immediately answered, "Heh... If Biancheng couldn't participate in the first half of the exchange meeting, and he used slaves to fill the base data, I guess the two sides would have to fight!"
After City Master d finished speaking, Jiang Qi said: "Those who need alliances raise their hands." Others thought about it, and then four interested parties raised their hands. Jiang Qi looked at City Master D, "Please choose among them."
d The city lord didn't even look at the four, and directly swept towards the direction of the main seat, saying: "If five medium-sized base city lords are willing to form an alliance with me, my base is willing to provide construction assistance for free, from materials, manpower, to technology... the covenant How long, how long to serve."
As soon as these words fell, everyone shook their heads, or sighed, or were speechless.The person sitting at the bottom of the Fu family began to whisper: "I just said that City Lord D is a reckless man. He is tall but not brainy, and he doesn't look at who the city owners of the medium-sized base are? They are all Jiang Qi's. The city lords who are being manipulated and replaced are all his dog legs, without the master's inscription, who would dare to form an alliance without permission?"
d The city lord waited for a long time, but the five medium-sized city lords all remained silent and silently refused.
The city lord looked away in disappointment, but no one was chosen in the end.
Jiang Qi read out the next person on the list, and the speeches made by each of the city lords when they stood up did not have much new meaning. After all, once a month, they knew everything about the base property and each other, except for the newly appointed young city lords who actively participated. Forming alliances, those city lords who have fixed long-term allies are not interested.
Two hours later, the elderly city owners began to feel tired, "How many of them have not been introduced yet? Let me tell you that except for those who are fond of tossing about at Base D, the other city owners can be as short as possible, and have contacted them privately if they want to form an alliance... …It’s just those ignorant new city masters who always make long speeches, and it’s like a big loss for one second less than five minutes to speak!”
"It seems that there are only two left, both of whom are newly appointed city lords."
The city lord who answered the call was flipping through the brochure boredly, his eyes suddenly stopped!
I saw the penultimate page read: "M Base City Master-Liu Shuhua.Commodity: black crystal. "
The legendary... black crystal?
At this moment, Jiang Qi announced: "The city owner of Base M, please speak—"
Everyone raised their heads in shock, and saw a young man with an outstanding appearance and a handsome figure standing up, smiling slowly at everyone, looking at Jiang Qi from a distance, with focused eyes, and said in a pleasant voice:
"If you have read the brochure, you should understand that our m base has excavated the legendary black crystal in the ruins of a certain volcanic island with the support of the nobleman. You must be familiar with black crystal It is the legendary "Longevity Stone". Long-term boiling and drinking can eliminate human toxins and increase immunity. Our base has already contacted Ms. Su Man from the Yunnan-Guizhou base to develop a health-preserving medicine. I believe that with Ms. Su Man's talents, There must be news of progress in the near future, of course, no matter what progress, as a northerner, I am willing to inform the Panlong base as soon as possible."
Said it was the Panlong base, but Liu Shuhua's sparkling peach eyes stared straight at Jiang Qi's... forehead.
Because the puzzled city master Jiang decisively turned his eyes away after hearing the words, and lowered his head to flip through the album.There were not a few people looking at the album next to them, and the meeting room seemed to be lit by heat, pointing to the black crystal stone to explain the discussion, whispering, the legend of the black crystal stone was boasted in the word of mouth, and some people exclaimed from time to time.
Mu Xishan is also looking at the picture of black spar, the color is like charcoal, black and bright, I don't know if it is a problem with the light, there seem to be many dark particles like dirt deposited in the transparent black.Mu Xishan searched carefully in his memory, but he did not find such a magical stone recorded in the "magic ore".
Unlike everyone else, Jiang Qi didn't look up the black crystal information, but turned to the last page of the product introduction of the S Base. He completely ignored the obsession with Liu Shuhua above his head. Looking up, seeing Liu Shuhua's gaze, thinking that the other party had finished speaking, he said by the way:
"The m base city lord has finished his statement, and intends to raise his hand to the allies."
Liu Shuhua, who was waiting for Jiang Qi's statement, choked in his heart. He didn't dare to complain about Jiang Qi, and looked indignantly at Mu Xishan, who also had nothing to do with it.
The city lord watching from the bottom tutted his tongue, "Another little city lord who doesn't know the heights and depths of the world has fallen in love with the city lord Jiang!" A frail and sickly man with mosquito poisoning was judged not to live past the age of 25, but when he went to sea, he got black crystals by accident, and finally died, becoming the longest-lived person in 200 years, which also made black crystals a legend.
Surrounded by the sound of flipping through the materials, Liu Shuhua gradually opened the corners of his mouth, looked around the crowd, and said loudly:
"Although I am willing to provide black crystals unconditionally, everyone should know that I have a heart for City Lord Jiang. I have no intention of hiding this." Liu Shuhua's bold remarks attracted everyone's attention, and the older city owners frowned. On the contrary, the young people showed encouraging expressions as if they were fighting against the enemy, and the Lord B in front of Mu Xishan turned his head to demonstrate frequently.
Liu Shuhua looked at Jiang Qi from a distance, and continued: "Miss Su Man, who participated in the study of black spar, must be the same as me. It is human nature to be jealous of love, even if I have no intention of embarrassing the city lord, it will happen because of these things. Negative emotions and loss of judgment, I hope that all city owners who want to sign with me can carefully consider my mood."
This is euphemistic...but the meaning is not euphemistic, it is almost equivalent to declaring war: there is him without me!
Everyone saw that Liu Shuhua was challenging Mu Xishan, and their eyes circled around a few people.
Mu Xishan felt the attention, looked up for a circle and then looked away indifferently. He never planned to pay attention to Jiang Qi's rotten peach blossoms. Lu Bao saw that Mu Xishan didn't take it seriously, and anxiously leaned over and said, "City lord! This is a provocation!" Provocative, blatantly oppressing you!"
Muxi didn't raise his head, and said casually in a flat tone: "Most of the vicious dogs and disciplined dogs in this world don't bark. Those who bark around are either mad dogs or wild dogs."
Several city lords around burst out laughing when they heard this, and one of the older city lords secretly gave Mu Xishan a thumbs up.
Standing very close, Liu Shuhua could hear it clearly. He was filled with hatred in his heart. From the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was secretly clenching his teeth.
Jiang Qi sat firmly in the main seat, and could see the turbulent undercurrent below, but his expression was normal, his deep blue eyes couldn't see a thought, his eyes slid across Muxi Mountain, and finally stayed on Liu Shuhua.
Liu Shuhua was overjoyed, and his eyes became more enthusiastic, "If City Lord Jiang is willing to form an alliance with me, I am willing to share the ownership of black crystal mining equally."
Jiang Qi didn't speak, the Beta City Lord next to him smacked his tongue and whispered: "Damn! Do the current small city owners regard shamelessness as a maverick?!"
The female city lord of Delta shook her head, "Perhaps some people think that the dark thoughts can be called magnanimity, which is really ridiculous! Even if the dirty things are spread out in the sun, it is just a shame! But having said that—" The city lord turned to Zhang Mo, "This time you brought your wife here because you heard the news that the black crystal was transported to the Panlong Base, right?"
Zhang Mo flipped through the product information and remained silent. The city lord Gamma next to him immediately said nervously: "Zhang Mo! Don't really want to sign a contract with him... You must know that the boss has sent a message this time, let's talk to him." Mu City Lord forms an alliance. I know you love your wife, but you can't offend the boss!"
Jiang Qi looked away from Liu Shuhua, ignored Liu Shuhua's invitation, and said in a serious tone:
"The city lord who is willing to form an alliance with m base raises his hand!"
The city masters who were waiting to watch the play were stunned for a moment. This is Luohua's intentional flow and ruthlessness. One by one, they withdrew their gossip and discussed with their subordinates... Longevity stone, a life-saving stone that can live a few more years, who would not listen to it? Heartbroken, everyone gritted their teeth, trying to offend Jiang Qi, and some people raised their hands one after another.
Mu Xishan looked up and looked around, one, three, five... more than a dozen, more and more people raised their hands, until more than half, even Gui Chengmei began to get nervous.The more bases that ally with Liu Shuhua, the fewer options for s base to ally with.
The Lord of City B in front gasped, patted the table excitedly and whispered to Liu Shuhua: "There are only one or two others, and you have more than a dozen at once. More than 30 points, not far from being promoted to the 'ruling star'—"
The owner of City B paused, and suddenly saw the owner of City D raising his hand, and said excitedly: "Ah! I saw the owner of the four-star City raised his hand, and the owner of City D doesn't like anything except a medium-sized base. Can you even He has subdued him, maybe he can even break the record for the shortest promotion to four stars, you are so amazing!"
I don’t know if it was meant for Mu Xishan, but the “whispering voice” of the Lord of City B has been harassing the ears of the three people in base S in the back row. City Lord." He said so, but seeing more and more people raising their hands around him, counting nearly twenty in a hurry, even Lu Bao couldn't help but gasped.
Unaware of Jiang Qi's arrangement, Lu Bao exchanged a glance with Gui Chengmei, "It's better to pretend to be sick in advance!"
Although Gui Chengmei has confidence in the product, she is also full of worries, "This m city lord does not allow allies to form alliances with us. After the signing here is over, we won't be able to sign a single alliance, right? This is in a bullshit order. Let us First of all, they will definitely not be able to sign a single one of the M base!"
"It's really bragging and doesn't make drafts." The city lord in front of B burst out laughing, turned his head and said with a little complacency, "I can't figure out why you came here either."
City owner b looked back at the product information on the last page. Under the title of base s, there were only six words: lighting objects.Beauty products.Without any comment, the smile is even more presumptuous.
Jiang Qi looked at more than half of the people, frowned slightly, and his eyes stopped on Mu Xishan again.Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Mu Xishan remained unmoved.Although Jiang Qi was worried, he still had to act according to the rules: "Please choose an ally from City Master M."
Liu Shuhua didn't look at the people raising their hands in the room, but looked at Jiang Qi, "I want to form an alliance with you."
Everyone started to gossip, and then their eyes focused on Jiang Qi. When he expressed his opinion, he wanted to know whether the No. [-] leader in the north was looking at the ore or the newlyweds?
For the short-lived contemporary people, who doesn't want to live a few more years, the greater the ambition, the more greedy for the world.Liu Shuhua thinks that Jiang Qi's ambition is not small, so he has a chance to win.Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, and everyone waited with bated breath because of his silence.Jiang Qi lowered his eyes halfway, which made his eyes deeper. Looking at Liu Shuhua, he said in a deep voice:
"You want to ally with me?"
Liu Shu's picture showed hope, staring at Jiang Qi's handsome face, Jiang Qi ignored the admiration in it, and said in a calm tone: "The existence of the Mu City Lord will make you jealous from love, so you hope to form an alliance with you Everyone thinks carefully?"
Liu Shuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but felt that this question was a bit wrong.
"...you make me feel a little ridiculous." After Jiang Qi finished speaking in a normal tone, Liu Shuhua's face was red, purple, and a little blue, which was the indignation of being humiliated. Immediately after listening to Jiang Qi, he said: "You don't want to be with me. The person in your covenant has something to do with him, so why sign a covenant with me?"
Jiang Qi said slowly:
"Mu Xishan is my partner, his existence is an inseparable part of the symbol 'Jiang Qi', related to me, must be related to him."
The Lord of Beta City couldn't help laughing, mocking Liu Shuhua's overthinking, and gestured in private, "Good job! Boss."
Liu Shuhua's face was completely blackened, but Jiang Qi didn't care what he thought, and said again in a businesslike tone:
"Please ask the m base city owner to choose allies from it."
Liu Shuhua shifted his gaze and looked at Zhang Mo next to him, "Would you like to form an alliance with me?" Fu Yingjun told him that Zhang Mo had thoughts about Hempar, and as the only star-filled ruling class present, he couldn't beat Jiang Qi , It's not a shame to win Zhang Mo.But the two looked at each other for a long time, but Zhang Mo didn't express anything.Liu Shuhua's complexion became even uglier. He turned his eyes around the conference hall, made up his mind, and announced loudly:
"I am willing to sign a covenant with all city lords who raise their hands!"
Lu Bao stared wide-eyed and counted the number of people who raised their hands, "Damn it! Is this person too picky?"
Gui Chengmei interjected disdainfully: "This is not picky, it is clearly intended not to leave anyone to our base." Gui Chengmei turned her head to look at the city lord who was still expressionless, and said with a little helplessness: "So... the city lord What on earth are you planning?"
How do you plan?Since it was inevitable that he would stand on the opposite side of most people since the second half of the meeting yesterday, Mu Xishan did not intend to show weakness... Rather than praying for allies, it is better to preemptively strike.
Mu Xishan only said one word: "Blacklist." At this moment, he made a sudden decision.
Lu Bao shook his head and asked Gui Chengmei what is this?Gui Chengmei also shook her head, and both of them looked at their city lord, but Mu Xishan didn't intend to explain any more, after he spoke, they both naturally understood.
Because there were too many signers, the noisy conference room was temporarily quiet. The secretary asked about the time limit of the covenant, took out the corresponding contract form, and handed it to Liu Shuhua.
Liu Shuhua signed the nineteen monthly covenants one by one, and added a note in the remarks: those who ally with the S base, the allies will be voided immediately!A city lord around looked at it, and his eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect Liu Shuhua to have the courage to fight Jiang Qi's partner to the end. He looked at Liu Shuhua with admiration for a moment... This is really for "love" crazy?
After Liu Shuhua signed all the papers, he also calmed down, turned his head to look at Mu Xishan's not-ugly face, and groaned coldly in his heart... He wants to see how this person's alliance speech ended so disastrously? !
"Come down, let the city owner of base S speak."
Mu Xishan stood up, looked around at the faces that were about to read a joke, and said in a tone that was so cold that there was no detour:
"The strength of base s, only time will tell."
City Lord B in front of Muxi Mountain burst out laughing immediately, and muttered in a low voice, "...I didn't prepare the speech in advance, it's just a joke... The time to hell proves everything, who will believe it."
The whispers beside him were buzzing like annoying flies, Mu Xishan frowned slightly, and the words changed, "I don't want to say, who will be my ally, I want to explain one thing here, is - who can be my friend?" ally!"
The more arrogant words than yesterday stunned the audience in an instant.
What is "who can"?The city lords looked carefully at Mu Xishan.
Jiang Qi straightened up and leaned forward slightly. Based on his understanding of Mu Xishan, he already understood what kind of explosion announcement he would hear later. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Mu Xishan speaking at a leisurely pace, word by word. said:
"I will prepare a blacklist of alliances, and I will not form alliances with anyone on the list. First, those who insult the legally recognized residents of the S base will not be allied; secondly, their character is open to question, and they will not be allied; In the end, I am against those who Xishan does not like, no, give, form, ally!"
The word "not to grant" is the word that appears most frequently in the trials of later generations. It comes from the chief adjudicator, accepting or not accepting.Although the people present didn't understand the origin of it, they could clearly hear Mu Xishan's cold and cold tone.
Some people were angry at Mu Xishan's arrogance and rudeness, while others...
"It's so handsome!" The tough guy city lord of the beta base almost had sparks in his eyes, and he couldn't restrain his excitement and said: "The Mu city lord is really amazing! As expected of the boss's choice of a partner, it's the first time I've seen anyone who can be so handsome at the exchange meeting." Rebel against the general in a threatening manner!"
Before Mu Xishan could finish speaking, he was bathed in the eyes of everyone, his voice seemed to fall from a high altitude, and he read out a series of lists, and after reading one, his eyes skipped over the head of the city lord, with a repulsive expression. Thousands of miles of indifference.After listening to all of them, they were all those who talked about dwarfs among the city lords who besieged him yesterday. There were a dozen of them, and the ones signed away by Liu Shuhua today, only single digits slipped through the net. Everyone didn't know what to do. Sigh his memory, or courage.
The audience was stunned for a moment, and even Lu Bao quietly tugged on Mu Xishan's clothes, and whispered, "City Lord, even if you don't want to sign anyone, don't offend everyone!"
"This concludes my speech."
Mu Xishan nodded politely at the crowd, and sat down again. At this time, many of the city lords who were named opened their mouths, and more of them pursed their mouths seriously, completely unable to believe what they heard? !
Even the rough Han Beta City Lord was speechless because of the wide range of the list!
There was a moment of silence in the room, the silence was depressing, and the resistance of many city lords was hidden in the repression.Only Jiang Qi was not affected, and a calm voice sounded in the room:
"Those who are willing to form an alliance with the S base, please raise your hand."
There was still silence at the bottom, and the few who were not named did not dare to raise their hands due to the pressure of the people around them. They were a little embarrassed for a while.Liu Shuhua and the city lords who were named all showed expressions of indifference... Before they could refuse or refuse, they were called first, hum!Don't they believe that the little s base can come up with what the hell? !
Apart from hugging Jiang Qi's thigh, what else could he do? !
Jiang Qi was about to signal to the five medium-sized base city owners.Everyone in the meeting stared dumbfounded at the five people raising their hands together. Jiang Qi followed the procedure, but changed his lines: "Is the city owner of S base willing to sign an ally?"
This was discussed a long time ago, and Mu Xishan did not intend to reject Jiang Qi's kindness, so he nodded in agreement.
Liu Shuhua gritted his teeth resentfully, and the city lord of base b next to him persuaded: "Oh...don't think too much, this must be to save some face for Mu Xishan, maybe it's a monthly covenant, who knows who those medium-sized leaders are? Not sincerely? Didn’t you see City Lord Jiang didn’t raise his hand? He didn’t just reject you!”
Liu Shuhua felt a little more at ease. At this moment, Jiang Qi asked someone to bring the covenant. Secretary Xia Zhizhuo was stunned for a moment, "How many copies do you want?"
"Six."
Not to mention Liu Shuhua and others were stunned by Jiang Qi's words, even the five uninformed city owners of medium-sized bases didn't know who the extra share was for?
Under everyone's slightly guessing but unbelievable eyes, Jiang Qi repeated again: "Six covenants... I want to sign an unlimited covenant with my partner, please get them as soon as possible."
Everyone in the audience opened their mouths, and Liu Shuhua could tear off his sleeves... Didn't it mean that Jiang Qi had a clear distinction between public and private interests, and besides the stipulated four-party covenant, even the friendly five medium-sized city lords of the medium-sized base had invited several times, and didn't bother to sign the covenant? !Who made this rumor? !
Liu Shuhua didn't maintain her disguise, and stared back at Mu Xishan with bloodshot eyes, her delicate facial features began to distort, but everyone's shock didn't stop——
Xia Zhizhu asked the other five city lords respectively, "What kind of covenant do you need?"
The Beta City Lord was the first to speak out, and said boldly: "No time limit covenant! We like the character of the Mu City Lord, and I will make this friend!"
Xia Zhizhu's heart shrank, and he looked at the other people.
At this time Liu Shuhua turned around in shock, stood up in a daze and looked at the chief seat.
Zhang Mo fell into deep thought. He didn't like Mu Xishan's reckless character, but he could think of his wife's gradually healing face, and the magic of the Kaori mask. The flowers in the soaking liquid, he had seen Mu Xishan picking such things when he was in the quarantine area. I thought it was useless at first, but I didn't expect that this person was not as useless as he thought, but Zhang Mo was still watching——
The female city lord of Delta next to her glanced at Jiang Qi, and said sweetly, "...I also want to have no time limit."
Down came the soft voice of Santo Alpha: "None, a covenant with no time limit." This man has a soft ear and is easy to follow.
Xia Zhizhu looked at the last two. With the increase of the time-limited covenant, Liu Shuhua's face became more and more ugly, and he stared closely at the vicinity of the main seat.
The Lord Gamma hesitated a little.The signing is certain, but the first few people suddenly changed the covenant time limit from "monthly" to "no time limit" without any discussion, which put him under pressure.Because she has the best relationship with Zhang Mo, she looks at Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo thought for a long time, and finally said firmly: "Unlimited covenant!" He also wanted to see, this person who had the courage to resist the union, accept the dwarves, become an eternal partner with Jiang Qi, and heal his wife, can do it. What to bring... Before that, he doesn't mind making a little "investment" first, although this investment with the nature of a gambler is not in line with his character.
Seeing how many people were like this, City Master Gamma sighed and said, "The covenant without time limit."
Even Jiang Qi was a little surprised by this result, and the people below were even more shocked and speechless!
Liu Shuhua murmured in disbelief: "...how is this possible?" Both Zhang Mo and Jiang Qi are willing to form an alliance with Mu Xishan, or an alliance with no time limit.With this item alone, Mu Xishan can obtain a total of 130 covenant points. In tomorrow's rating evaluation, he will become the first city lord in history to be promoted to a four-star ruling rank after only half a month in office.
Fu Yingjun clearly told him that Jiang Qi and Mu Xishan had known each other for too short a time, and the bond was very shallow. Mu Xishan had never entered the political center of the north at all.And he only needs to borrow black crystals to catch Jiang Qi, catch the sight of other city lords, step on Mu Xishan's head, and occupy a place in the northern high-level ruling circle.A few minutes ago, he also thought so when he signed the nineteen covenants, but now...
There was a sudden plop in the conference hall, and when I heard the sound, I saw Liu Shuhua's legs limp and fell to the ground.
The handsome face was slightly pale, and he whispered, "How could it be like this..." Liu Shuhua was not so stupid as to be hopeless, he thought that what he offended was a bug that could be stepped on, who knew it would be a snake that would bite back? !
"How are you? Where did you fall?" City Lord B hurriedly pulled up Liu Shuhua, Liu Shuhua shook his head to shake off those thoughts, cheered himself up, got up from the ground and sat back in his seat, barely supporting the mask as if nothing had happened, "... Nothing, just a sudden sprained ankle."
He still has weight, his black crystal... Thinking about it, Liu Shuhua slowly raised his head, looking at Mu Xishan from the corner of his eye.
"From now on, each city lord has 5 minutes to speak, the content is not limited, try to show the advantages of their respective bases, and other city lords can ask questions within the time. Those who are interested can immediately sign a personal covenant, and the Panlong base will be a witness , within the time limit of the covenant, both parties shall fulfill their loyalty and shall not betray."
Jiang Qi opened the list of small bases and arranged them according to the level of the bases. The first person is the base city owner.
After Jiang Qi read out the name, the city owner of base d stood up from his seat, and said in a loud and rough voice: "Although we are a small base, we have the same area as a medium-sized base and are constantly expanding. Since last year, I have been constantly expanding from the south Introduce construction talents, explore construction techniques in the desert, and now have four satellite bases for placing captives in border towns. For allies, I am willing to provide construction assistance..." D City Master kept looking at the several City Masters of the medium-sized base while speaking .
An older city lord shook his head and said, "...that guy at base d is still too impatient."
Someone next to him immediately answered, "Heh... If Biancheng couldn't participate in the first half of the exchange meeting, and he used slaves to fill the base data, I guess the two sides would have to fight!"
After City Master d finished speaking, Jiang Qi said: "Those who need alliances raise their hands." Others thought about it, and then four interested parties raised their hands. Jiang Qi looked at City Master D, "Please choose among them."
d The city lord didn't even look at the four, and directly swept towards the direction of the main seat, saying: "If five medium-sized base city lords are willing to form an alliance with me, my base is willing to provide construction assistance for free, from materials, manpower, to technology... the covenant How long, how long to serve."
As soon as these words fell, everyone shook their heads, or sighed, or were speechless.The person sitting at the bottom of the Fu family began to whisper: "I just said that City Lord D is a reckless man. He is tall but not brainy, and he doesn't look at who the city owners of the medium-sized base are? They are all Jiang Qi's. The city lords who are being manipulated and replaced are all his dog legs, without the master's inscription, who would dare to form an alliance without permission?"
d The city lord waited for a long time, but the five medium-sized city lords all remained silent and silently refused.
The city lord looked away in disappointment, but no one was chosen in the end.
Jiang Qi read out the next person on the list, and the speeches made by each of the city lords when they stood up did not have much new meaning. After all, once a month, they knew everything about the base property and each other, except for the newly appointed young city lords who actively participated. Forming alliances, those city lords who have fixed long-term allies are not interested.
Two hours later, the elderly city owners began to feel tired, "How many of them have not been introduced yet? Let me tell you that except for those who are fond of tossing about at Base D, the other city owners can be as short as possible, and have contacted them privately if they want to form an alliance... …It’s just those ignorant new city masters who always make long speeches, and it’s like a big loss for one second less than five minutes to speak!”
"It seems that there are only two left, both of whom are newly appointed city lords."
The city lord who answered the call was flipping through the brochure boredly, his eyes suddenly stopped!
I saw the penultimate page read: "M Base City Master-Liu Shuhua.Commodity: black crystal. "
The legendary... black crystal?
At this moment, Jiang Qi announced: "The city owner of Base M, please speak—"
Everyone raised their heads in shock, and saw a young man with an outstanding appearance and a handsome figure standing up, smiling slowly at everyone, looking at Jiang Qi from a distance, with focused eyes, and said in a pleasant voice:
"If you have read the brochure, you should understand that our m base has excavated the legendary black crystal in the ruins of a certain volcanic island with the support of the nobleman. You must be familiar with black crystal It is the legendary "Longevity Stone". Long-term boiling and drinking can eliminate human toxins and increase immunity. Our base has already contacted Ms. Su Man from the Yunnan-Guizhou base to develop a health-preserving medicine. I believe that with Ms. Su Man's talents, There must be news of progress in the near future, of course, no matter what progress, as a northerner, I am willing to inform the Panlong base as soon as possible."
Said it was the Panlong base, but Liu Shuhua's sparkling peach eyes stared straight at Jiang Qi's... forehead.
Because the puzzled city master Jiang decisively turned his eyes away after hearing the words, and lowered his head to flip through the album.There were not a few people looking at the album next to them, and the meeting room seemed to be lit by heat, pointing to the black crystal stone to explain the discussion, whispering, the legend of the black crystal stone was boasted in the word of mouth, and some people exclaimed from time to time.
Mu Xishan is also looking at the picture of black spar, the color is like charcoal, black and bright, I don't know if it is a problem with the light, there seem to be many dark particles like dirt deposited in the transparent black.Mu Xishan searched carefully in his memory, but he did not find such a magical stone recorded in the "magic ore".
Unlike everyone else, Jiang Qi didn't look up the black crystal information, but turned to the last page of the product introduction of the S Base. He completely ignored the obsession with Liu Shuhua above his head. Looking up, seeing Liu Shuhua's gaze, thinking that the other party had finished speaking, he said by the way:
"The m base city lord has finished his statement, and intends to raise his hand to the allies."
Liu Shuhua, who was waiting for Jiang Qi's statement, choked in his heart. He didn't dare to complain about Jiang Qi, and looked indignantly at Mu Xishan, who also had nothing to do with it.
The city lord watching from the bottom tutted his tongue, "Another little city lord who doesn't know the heights and depths of the world has fallen in love with the city lord Jiang!" A frail and sickly man with mosquito poisoning was judged not to live past the age of 25, but when he went to sea, he got black crystals by accident, and finally died, becoming the longest-lived person in 200 years, which also made black crystals a legend.
Surrounded by the sound of flipping through the materials, Liu Shuhua gradually opened the corners of his mouth, looked around the crowd, and said loudly:
"Although I am willing to provide black crystals unconditionally, everyone should know that I have a heart for City Lord Jiang. I have no intention of hiding this." Liu Shuhua's bold remarks attracted everyone's attention, and the older city owners frowned. On the contrary, the young people showed encouraging expressions as if they were fighting against the enemy, and the Lord B in front of Mu Xishan turned his head to demonstrate frequently.
Liu Shuhua looked at Jiang Qi from a distance, and continued: "Miss Su Man, who participated in the study of black spar, must be the same as me. It is human nature to be jealous of love, even if I have no intention of embarrassing the city lord, it will happen because of these things. Negative emotions and loss of judgment, I hope that all city owners who want to sign with me can carefully consider my mood."
This is euphemistic...but the meaning is not euphemistic, it is almost equivalent to declaring war: there is him without me!
Everyone saw that Liu Shuhua was challenging Mu Xishan, and their eyes circled around a few people.
Mu Xishan felt the attention, looked up for a circle and then looked away indifferently. He never planned to pay attention to Jiang Qi's rotten peach blossoms. Lu Bao saw that Mu Xishan didn't take it seriously, and anxiously leaned over and said, "City lord! This is a provocation!" Provocative, blatantly oppressing you!"
Muxi didn't raise his head, and said casually in a flat tone: "Most of the vicious dogs and disciplined dogs in this world don't bark. Those who bark around are either mad dogs or wild dogs."
Several city lords around burst out laughing when they heard this, and one of the older city lords secretly gave Mu Xishan a thumbs up.
Standing very close, Liu Shuhua could hear it clearly. He was filled with hatred in his heart. From the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was secretly clenching his teeth.
Jiang Qi sat firmly in the main seat, and could see the turbulent undercurrent below, but his expression was normal, his deep blue eyes couldn't see a thought, his eyes slid across Muxi Mountain, and finally stayed on Liu Shuhua.
Liu Shuhua was overjoyed, and his eyes became more enthusiastic, "If City Lord Jiang is willing to form an alliance with me, I am willing to share the ownership of black crystal mining equally."
Jiang Qi didn't speak, the Beta City Lord next to him smacked his tongue and whispered: "Damn! Do the current small city owners regard shamelessness as a maverick?!"
The female city lord of Delta shook her head, "Perhaps some people think that the dark thoughts can be called magnanimity, which is really ridiculous! Even if the dirty things are spread out in the sun, it is just a shame! But having said that—" The city lord turned to Zhang Mo, "This time you brought your wife here because you heard the news that the black crystal was transported to the Panlong Base, right?"
Zhang Mo flipped through the product information and remained silent. The city lord Gamma next to him immediately said nervously: "Zhang Mo! Don't really want to sign a contract with him... You must know that the boss has sent a message this time, let's talk to him." Mu City Lord forms an alliance. I know you love your wife, but you can't offend the boss!"
Jiang Qi looked away from Liu Shuhua, ignored Liu Shuhua's invitation, and said in a serious tone:
"The city lord who is willing to form an alliance with m base raises his hand!"
The city masters who were waiting to watch the play were stunned for a moment. This is Luohua's intentional flow and ruthlessness. One by one, they withdrew their gossip and discussed with their subordinates... Longevity stone, a life-saving stone that can live a few more years, who would not listen to it? Heartbroken, everyone gritted their teeth, trying to offend Jiang Qi, and some people raised their hands one after another.
Mu Xishan looked up and looked around, one, three, five... more than a dozen, more and more people raised their hands, until more than half, even Gui Chengmei began to get nervous.The more bases that ally with Liu Shuhua, the fewer options for s base to ally with.
The Lord of City B in front gasped, patted the table excitedly and whispered to Liu Shuhua: "There are only one or two others, and you have more than a dozen at once. More than 30 points, not far from being promoted to the 'ruling star'—"
The owner of City B paused, and suddenly saw the owner of City D raising his hand, and said excitedly: "Ah! I saw the owner of the four-star City raised his hand, and the owner of City D doesn't like anything except a medium-sized base. Can you even He has subdued him, maybe he can even break the record for the shortest promotion to four stars, you are so amazing!"
I don’t know if it was meant for Mu Xishan, but the “whispering voice” of the Lord of City B has been harassing the ears of the three people in base S in the back row. City Lord." He said so, but seeing more and more people raising their hands around him, counting nearly twenty in a hurry, even Lu Bao couldn't help but gasped.
Unaware of Jiang Qi's arrangement, Lu Bao exchanged a glance with Gui Chengmei, "It's better to pretend to be sick in advance!"
Although Gui Chengmei has confidence in the product, she is also full of worries, "This m city lord does not allow allies to form alliances with us. After the signing here is over, we won't be able to sign a single alliance, right? This is in a bullshit order. Let us First of all, they will definitely not be able to sign a single one of the M base!"
"It's really bragging and doesn't make drafts." The city lord in front of B burst out laughing, turned his head and said with a little complacency, "I can't figure out why you came here either."
City owner b looked back at the product information on the last page. Under the title of base s, there were only six words: lighting objects.Beauty products.Without any comment, the smile is even more presumptuous.
Jiang Qi looked at more than half of the people, frowned slightly, and his eyes stopped on Mu Xishan again.Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Mu Xishan remained unmoved.Although Jiang Qi was worried, he still had to act according to the rules: "Please choose an ally from City Master M."
Liu Shuhua didn't look at the people raising their hands in the room, but looked at Jiang Qi, "I want to form an alliance with you."
Everyone started to gossip, and then their eyes focused on Jiang Qi. When he expressed his opinion, he wanted to know whether the No. [-] leader in the north was looking at the ore or the newlyweds?
For the short-lived contemporary people, who doesn't want to live a few more years, the greater the ambition, the more greedy for the world.Liu Shuhua thinks that Jiang Qi's ambition is not small, so he has a chance to win.Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, and everyone waited with bated breath because of his silence.Jiang Qi lowered his eyes halfway, which made his eyes deeper. Looking at Liu Shuhua, he said in a deep voice:
"You want to ally with me?"
Liu Shu's picture showed hope, staring at Jiang Qi's handsome face, Jiang Qi ignored the admiration in it, and said in a calm tone: "The existence of the Mu City Lord will make you jealous from love, so you hope to form an alliance with you Everyone thinks carefully?"
Liu Shuhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded, but felt that this question was a bit wrong.
"...you make me feel a little ridiculous." After Jiang Qi finished speaking in a normal tone, Liu Shuhua's face was red, purple, and a little blue, which was the indignation of being humiliated. Immediately after listening to Jiang Qi, he said: "You don't want to be with me. The person in your covenant has something to do with him, so why sign a covenant with me?"
Jiang Qi said slowly:
"Mu Xishan is my partner, his existence is an inseparable part of the symbol 'Jiang Qi', related to me, must be related to him."
The Lord of Beta City couldn't help laughing, mocking Liu Shuhua's overthinking, and gestured in private, "Good job! Boss."
Liu Shuhua's face was completely blackened, but Jiang Qi didn't care what he thought, and said again in a businesslike tone:
"Please ask the m base city owner to choose allies from it."
Liu Shuhua shifted his gaze and looked at Zhang Mo next to him, "Would you like to form an alliance with me?" Fu Yingjun told him that Zhang Mo had thoughts about Hempar, and as the only star-filled ruling class present, he couldn't beat Jiang Qi , It's not a shame to win Zhang Mo.But the two looked at each other for a long time, but Zhang Mo didn't express anything.Liu Shuhua's complexion became even uglier. He turned his eyes around the conference hall, made up his mind, and announced loudly:
"I am willing to sign a covenant with all city lords who raise their hands!"
Lu Bao stared wide-eyed and counted the number of people who raised their hands, "Damn it! Is this person too picky?"
Gui Chengmei interjected disdainfully: "This is not picky, it is clearly intended not to leave anyone to our base." Gui Chengmei turned her head to look at the city lord who was still expressionless, and said with a little helplessness: "So... the city lord What on earth are you planning?"
How do you plan?Since it was inevitable that he would stand on the opposite side of most people since the second half of the meeting yesterday, Mu Xishan did not intend to show weakness... Rather than praying for allies, it is better to preemptively strike.
Mu Xishan only said one word: "Blacklist." At this moment, he made a sudden decision.
Lu Bao shook his head and asked Gui Chengmei what is this?Gui Chengmei also shook her head, and both of them looked at their city lord, but Mu Xishan didn't intend to explain any more, after he spoke, they both naturally understood.
Because there were too many signers, the noisy conference room was temporarily quiet. The secretary asked about the time limit of the covenant, took out the corresponding contract form, and handed it to Liu Shuhua.
Liu Shuhua signed the nineteen monthly covenants one by one, and added a note in the remarks: those who ally with the S base, the allies will be voided immediately!A city lord around looked at it, and his eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect Liu Shuhua to have the courage to fight Jiang Qi's partner to the end. He looked at Liu Shuhua with admiration for a moment... This is really for "love" crazy?
After Liu Shuhua signed all the papers, he also calmed down, turned his head to look at Mu Xishan's not-ugly face, and groaned coldly in his heart... He wants to see how this person's alliance speech ended so disastrously? !
"Come down, let the city owner of base S speak."
Mu Xishan stood up, looked around at the faces that were about to read a joke, and said in a tone that was so cold that there was no detour:
"The strength of base s, only time will tell."
City Lord B in front of Muxi Mountain burst out laughing immediately, and muttered in a low voice, "...I didn't prepare the speech in advance, it's just a joke... The time to hell proves everything, who will believe it."
The whispers beside him were buzzing like annoying flies, Mu Xishan frowned slightly, and the words changed, "I don't want to say, who will be my ally, I want to explain one thing here, is - who can be my friend?" ally!"
The more arrogant words than yesterday stunned the audience in an instant.
What is "who can"?The city lords looked carefully at Mu Xishan.
Jiang Qi straightened up and leaned forward slightly. Based on his understanding of Mu Xishan, he already understood what kind of explosion announcement he would hear later. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Mu Xishan speaking at a leisurely pace, word by word. said:
"I will prepare a blacklist of alliances, and I will not form alliances with anyone on the list. First, those who insult the legally recognized residents of the S base will not be allied; secondly, their character is open to question, and they will not be allied; In the end, I am against those who Xishan does not like, no, give, form, ally!"
The word "not to grant" is the word that appears most frequently in the trials of later generations. It comes from the chief adjudicator, accepting or not accepting.Although the people present didn't understand the origin of it, they could clearly hear Mu Xishan's cold and cold tone.
Some people were angry at Mu Xishan's arrogance and rudeness, while others...
"It's so handsome!" The tough guy city lord of the beta base almost had sparks in his eyes, and he couldn't restrain his excitement and said: "The Mu city lord is really amazing! As expected of the boss's choice of a partner, it's the first time I've seen anyone who can be so handsome at the exchange meeting." Rebel against the general in a threatening manner!"
Before Mu Xishan could finish speaking, he was bathed in the eyes of everyone, his voice seemed to fall from a high altitude, and he read out a series of lists, and after reading one, his eyes skipped over the head of the city lord, with a repulsive expression. Thousands of miles of indifference.After listening to all of them, they were all those who talked about dwarfs among the city lords who besieged him yesterday. There were a dozen of them, and the ones signed away by Liu Shuhua today, only single digits slipped through the net. Everyone didn't know what to do. Sigh his memory, or courage.
The audience was stunned for a moment, and even Lu Bao quietly tugged on Mu Xishan's clothes, and whispered, "City Lord, even if you don't want to sign anyone, don't offend everyone!"
"This concludes my speech."
Mu Xishan nodded politely at the crowd, and sat down again. At this time, many of the city lords who were named opened their mouths, and more of them pursed their mouths seriously, completely unable to believe what they heard? !
Even the rough Han Beta City Lord was speechless because of the wide range of the list!
There was a moment of silence in the room, the silence was depressing, and the resistance of many city lords was hidden in the repression.Only Jiang Qi was not affected, and a calm voice sounded in the room:
"Those who are willing to form an alliance with the S base, please raise your hand."
There was still silence at the bottom, and the few who were not named did not dare to raise their hands due to the pressure of the people around them. They were a little embarrassed for a while.Liu Shuhua and the city lords who were named all showed expressions of indifference... Before they could refuse or refuse, they were called first, hum!Don't they believe that the little s base can come up with what the hell? !
Apart from hugging Jiang Qi's thigh, what else could he do? !
Jiang Qi was about to signal to the five medium-sized base city owners.Everyone in the meeting stared dumbfounded at the five people raising their hands together. Jiang Qi followed the procedure, but changed his lines: "Is the city owner of S base willing to sign an ally?"
This was discussed a long time ago, and Mu Xishan did not intend to reject Jiang Qi's kindness, so he nodded in agreement.
Liu Shuhua gritted his teeth resentfully, and the city lord of base b next to him persuaded: "Oh...don't think too much, this must be to save some face for Mu Xishan, maybe it's a monthly covenant, who knows who those medium-sized leaders are? Not sincerely? Didn’t you see City Lord Jiang didn’t raise his hand? He didn’t just reject you!”
Liu Shuhua felt a little more at ease. At this moment, Jiang Qi asked someone to bring the covenant. Secretary Xia Zhizhuo was stunned for a moment, "How many copies do you want?"
"Six."
Not to mention Liu Shuhua and others were stunned by Jiang Qi's words, even the five uninformed city owners of medium-sized bases didn't know who the extra share was for?
Under everyone's slightly guessing but unbelievable eyes, Jiang Qi repeated again: "Six covenants... I want to sign an unlimited covenant with my partner, please get them as soon as possible."
Everyone in the audience opened their mouths, and Liu Shuhua could tear off his sleeves... Didn't it mean that Jiang Qi had a clear distinction between public and private interests, and besides the stipulated four-party covenant, even the friendly five medium-sized city lords of the medium-sized base had invited several times, and didn't bother to sign the covenant? !Who made this rumor? !
Liu Shuhua didn't maintain her disguise, and stared back at Mu Xishan with bloodshot eyes, her delicate facial features began to distort, but everyone's shock didn't stop——
Xia Zhizhu asked the other five city lords respectively, "What kind of covenant do you need?"
The Beta City Lord was the first to speak out, and said boldly: "No time limit covenant! We like the character of the Mu City Lord, and I will make this friend!"
Xia Zhizhu's heart shrank, and he looked at the other people.
At this time Liu Shuhua turned around in shock, stood up in a daze and looked at the chief seat.
Zhang Mo fell into deep thought. He didn't like Mu Xishan's reckless character, but he could think of his wife's gradually healing face, and the magic of the Kaori mask. The flowers in the soaking liquid, he had seen Mu Xishan picking such things when he was in the quarantine area. I thought it was useless at first, but I didn't expect that this person was not as useless as he thought, but Zhang Mo was still watching——
The female city lord of Delta next to her glanced at Jiang Qi, and said sweetly, "...I also want to have no time limit."
Down came the soft voice of Santo Alpha: "None, a covenant with no time limit." This man has a soft ear and is easy to follow.
Xia Zhizhu looked at the last two. With the increase of the time-limited covenant, Liu Shuhua's face became more and more ugly, and he stared closely at the vicinity of the main seat.
The Lord Gamma hesitated a little.The signing is certain, but the first few people suddenly changed the covenant time limit from "monthly" to "no time limit" without any discussion, which put him under pressure.Because she has the best relationship with Zhang Mo, she looks at Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo thought for a long time, and finally said firmly: "Unlimited covenant!" He also wanted to see, this person who had the courage to resist the union, accept the dwarves, become an eternal partner with Jiang Qi, and heal his wife, can do it. What to bring... Before that, he doesn't mind making a little "investment" first, although this investment with the nature of a gambler is not in line with his character.
Seeing how many people were like this, City Master Gamma sighed and said, "The covenant without time limit."
Even Jiang Qi was a little surprised by this result, and the people below were even more shocked and speechless!
Liu Shuhua murmured in disbelief: "...how is this possible?" Both Zhang Mo and Jiang Qi are willing to form an alliance with Mu Xishan, or an alliance with no time limit.With this item alone, Mu Xishan can obtain a total of 130 covenant points. In tomorrow's rating evaluation, he will become the first city lord in history to be promoted to a four-star ruling rank after only half a month in office.
Fu Yingjun clearly told him that Jiang Qi and Mu Xishan had known each other for too short a time, and the bond was very shallow. Mu Xishan had never entered the political center of the north at all.And he only needs to borrow black crystals to catch Jiang Qi, catch the sight of other city lords, step on Mu Xishan's head, and occupy a place in the northern high-level ruling circle.A few minutes ago, he also thought so when he signed the nineteen covenants, but now...
There was a sudden plop in the conference hall, and when I heard the sound, I saw Liu Shuhua's legs limp and fell to the ground.
The handsome face was slightly pale, and he whispered, "How could it be like this..." Liu Shuhua was not so stupid as to be hopeless, he thought that what he offended was a bug that could be stepped on, who knew it would be a snake that would bite back? !
"How are you? Where did you fall?" City Lord B hurriedly pulled up Liu Shuhua, Liu Shuhua shook his head to shake off those thoughts, cheered himself up, got up from the ground and sat back in his seat, barely supporting the mask as if nothing had happened, "... Nothing, just a sudden sprained ankle."
He still has weight, his black crystal... Thinking about it, Liu Shuhua slowly raised his head, looking at Mu Xishan from the corner of his eye.
