Chapter 129 Who agrees and who opposes?
In the silent flow of time.
All over the world, as the newly unearthed information about the "Three Purities Taoist" spreads, more and more people know the title of the so-called "Three Purities Taoist".
Although there are currently no more records about [Three Qing Dao Ancestors], those who can bear the name of Dao Ancestor must be a top figure in ancient times.
Therefore, more and more people began to recite those three names.
"Praise to Taoist Xuanqing!"
"Praise to Fusheng Taoist Ancestor!"
"Praise to the Xuanhuang Wu God, and praise the Xuanhuang Daozu!"
The chanting sounds gradually became louder and louder. Although most of them did not have any pious intentions, they still gathered a little bit of chanting.
The thoughts of sentient beings gathered into a river again, some of which flowed towards Lu Xuan, while the other part of them continuously washed away the [Sanqing Temple] located in the busy city.
This small courtyard, washed away by the thoughts of all living beings, became more and more primitive, profound and majestic.
Later, a layer of mist composed purely of Taoist rhymes actually appeared.
The mist is hazy and chaotic, and the Taoist temple is deep.
Everything happened quietly.
The banquet venue set up by the provincial government is in the center of this residential area.
As the residence of senior federal officials, the center of this residential area is an extremely large building with only one floor, but it is luxuriously decorated. The door is made of complete bronze casting, and there are two stone lions placed at the door.
These days, the price of pure bronze is much higher than that of super alloy.
At this time, the two bronze doors were opened, and Liu Zhong personally stood at the door, greeting the dignitaries who came one after another.
"Director Chen is here? It's the beginning of the school year, and the Department of Education is busy, right?"
"Mayor Luo, long time no see. Dahu City's development has been getting better and better recently. You are indispensable!"
"Director Chu, come here, come here!"
Amid the greetings, dignitaries walked into the huge banquet hall in groups despite being puzzled and confused.
soon.
"Master Wu." Looking at the three people walking side by side, he quickly made a salute and said respectfully: "There are two other gentlemen and ladies, you are here."
As he spoke, he greeted with a smile and continued:
"There are also several officials who are here today with their nephews and nephews. These two will not be bored if they go in. Mr. Wu, please come here and I will take you in!"
The provincial housekeeper kept his posture very low, and Wu Datong nodded slightly to him in order not to hit the smiling man.
Lu Xuan was looking curiously at this time. After all, this was his first time on such an occasion. Everyone coming and going was all gorgeously dressed and full of nobility. The huge banquet hall also exuded the ultimate sense of luxury.
On the contrary, Xiao Yan didn't react at all, his face remained cold, as if he was used to all this.
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Zhong, the three of them walked into the bronze gate side by side. What they saw was a dozen huge round tables, and a high platform at the end.
At this time, the round table was almost full of people, and every one of them outside was a powerful figure.
From the head of a department to the mayor of a first-tier big city, he covers almost all aspects of Langya Province.
Especially those directors, all of whom are big figures standing at the top of a specific provincial administrative agency.
"You two can sit down here. We are both of the same age, so we can communicate with each other."
Liu Zhong arranged for Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue to sit at the last table near the bronze door. As he said, the round table was also empty. The people sitting around were young men and women in their teens and twenties, who looked all their age. Not big.
Wu Datong was led to the first seat and round table under the high platform, which was far away from Lu Xuan.
After taking a glance at the general situation in the field, Lu Xuan pulled Yan Jiangxue to sit down while thinking, and then glanced at the men and women sitting on the round table.
There were six or seven people in total. Except for the little fat man next to Lu Xuan, they were all calm and reserved. However, this chattering little fat man was also the only acquaintance of Lu Xuan at this table besides Xiao Yan.
Well, to be precise, they are also half-acquaintances.
Chen Dao.
"This brother, he looks a bit unfamiliar. I know you. My name is Chen Dao. My father is the director of the Supervision Department of Langya Province. Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!"
The little fat man was smiling all over his face, his eyes were narrowed into slits when he smiled, and his eyes were almost completely covered by fat. Lu Xuan looked helpless.
I had heard these words once before in the old cemetery when I was still bearing Wu Xiaoxu's face.
But he still nodded politely and said:
"Hello, my name is Lu Xuan, and this is my friend, whose surname is Yan."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Chen Dao was not very young, but he was very experienced in speaking and well versed in human relations. With a few sentences, he revived the originally dead atmosphere on the table.
Seeing that the others started to communicate with each other and even began to talk loudly, he turned his head again with a smile on his face:
"Brother Lu, I think you came here with our Wu Zhenshou. Wu Zhenshou has a high position and doesn't communicate much with his subordinates. No wonder I haven't seen you."
Obviously, he regarded Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue as Wu Datong's nephews.
After a pause, Chen Dao whispered again:
"I don't think you know anyone else, Brother Lu. Let me introduce you in advance. The one with the ponytail is Luo Yuanyang, the daughter of Mayor Luo of Dahu City. That..."
Lu Xuan did not interrupt. After listening patiently to what he said, he calmly asked:
"Brother Chen, do you know why this banquet is held? I heard that top leaders from various departments in the province are here, and the mayors of more than a dozen first-tier cities are also here in person."
Chen Dao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile:
"I don't know about that. I came here with my father to see the world, and by the way I met young talents like you, Brother Lu."
Lu Xuan laughed dumbly.
At this time, Chen Dao glanced at Yan Jiangxue, who had a cold face and remained silent, then quickly and politely withdrew his gaze, and asked with a straight face:
"This Yan"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly.
"Ahem!"
There was a cough from the high platform, which resounded throughout the vast banquet hall.
Chen Dao stopped talking. Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue also concentrated on each other and looked up towards the high platform.
At this time, two people were already sitting on the stage. One was a white-haired old man with a wrinkled face and a strong scholarly air. The other was a powerful middle-aged man, full of iron and blood. Qi.
Lu Xuan's mind changed and he guessed the identities of the two people. The old man with a bookish air was probably the head of the provincial government and a Confucian practitioner, and the middle-aged man was naturally Wu Shangpin's father, the chief guard of Langya Province. .
If I remember correctly, it seems to be called Wu Zhongshu?
Just when Lu Xuan's mind was spinning, the voice of the provincial governor on the high platform was mellow. After first expressing a formal welcome to everyone's arrival,
Immediately, he got straight to the point and said it bluntly.
"Actually, in addition to communicating with each other, there is another very important thing for everyone to come here for the banquet this time."
Lu Xuan and Yan Jiangxue both looked solemn at the same time and listened attentively.
"Before talking about this matter, let me introduce it first."
While he was talking, a short middle-aged man flew into the air and landed firmly on the high platform.
The master of the palace said again:
"This is Mr. Jun Sakata, from Sakata Heavy Industries, and one of the directors on the board of directors of Sakata Heavy Industries."
After the words fell, countless people in the banquet hall looked at each other. Wu Datong, who was sitting in the front, looked solemn, as did Lu Xuan.
He glanced at the girl next to him, whose face was as cold as ever, and his thoughts moved slightly.
Sure enough, as Xiao Yan guessed, this so-called banquet was facilitated by the super consortium or Sakata Heavy Industries!
Sakata Heavy Industries, what do you want to do?
Thinking about it, a dangerous brilliance flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.
interesting.
On the high platform, under the gaze of countless top dignitaries of Langya Province, Sakata Jun took over the words of the provincial head and spoke quietly:
"This call for you to come here is the intention of Sakata Heavy Industries. What I say next represents the will of Sakata Heavy Industries!"
After the words fell, the banquet hall became slightly chaotic. All the dignitaries were whispering, realizing that something big would happen today.
Chen Dao also came over at this time and whispered:
"It doesn't feel right. These super consortiums are all so high up. How could they directly intervene in the internal affairs of a province and summon the leaders of all departments?"
After a pause, he continued:
"Are all the powerful people in our provincial government here?"
Lu Xuan didn't answer, just nodded slightly and stared in the direction of the high platform.
At this time, Jun Sakata on the stage continued:
"And the reason for calling everyone here is to discuss one thing."
He emphasized the word 'discuss' very strongly, and there was an unquestionable flavor in his words:
"That is, regarding the joint expulsion of Longque Technology from Langya Province."
As soon as the words fell, the entire banquet hall was in an uproar!
Lu Xuan frowned suddenly and subconsciously glanced at the girl next to him. Xiao Yan's expression did not change, and he just listened quietly.
"What do you think?" he asked quietly.
Xiao Yan responded softly:
"Most likely it's because public dissatisfaction has become more and more intense during this period. They want to cause a big incident and divert attention. At the same time."
After a pause, she calmly analyzed:
"At the same time, we also plan to completely break up with Longque Technology and put the fight that was originally hidden in the dark into the open. This has already reached a very dangerous moment. If we go further, it will be a life-and-death fight for the top leaders of both sides."
The men and women at the same table heard this and looked at him in astonishment. Even Chen Dao was surprised, with a look of admiration on his face.
They didn't expect that this girl with an extremely stunning appearance but aloofness could analyze so many things in just a moment, and she seemed to be right!
Several young men and women were nervous, realizing that they should not come to the banquet this time, and were forced into a vortex of fighting between two or even more super consortiums!
At this time, Xiao Yan showed the calmness and insight that belonged to the eldest princess of Longque Science and Technology, and said concisely:
"If I guess correctly, they should have reporters ready. Once all the senior officials present confirm that they have signed a petition to expel Longque Technology, they will immediately hold a press conference to allow all officials to appear."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Xuan could respond, someone appeared on the high platform.
Sakata Jun waited quietly for a moment for everyone to discuss. Then he pressed his palm down and unleashed the power of the Earth Immortal. The entire banquet hall fell silent again.
"at present."
He said calmly:
"We have invited all media to be ready. After you sign the joint letter, you will represent Langya Province and attend this press conference to fully announce the deportation recommendations to the public."
Chen Dao and others suddenly turned their eyes and looked at Yan Jiangxue in shock and astonishment. The latter remained motionless, just sitting quietly, without even the slightest wave of emotion in his expression.
After a moment, Chen Dao swallowed and tugged at the corner of Lu Xuan's clothes:
"Brother Lu, the guy next to you is really awesome!"
After a pause, sadness appeared on his face:
"I knew I wouldn't come. Brother Lu, do you think we can sneak away now? Anyway, we are not the key players in this banquet. We are just here to make soy sauce."
Lu Xuan smiled softly, meaningfully:
"The people above won't let anyone leave before the banquet is over."
"Hey." Chen Dao sighed again and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Lu, why do you think the palace master and the chief guard agreed to such a thing? They couldn't be coerced, right?"
"Who knows?" Lu Xuan lowered his eyelids, and there was no change in expression on his face.
When Chen Dao was about to say something, suddenly.
"and."
On the high platform, Jun Sakata continued to say calmly:
"At this moment, among the thirteen provinces on East Wednesday, twenty-eight provincial capitals are having banquets that are unique to this place. I think everyone should understand what I mean and what Sakata Heavy Industries means."
After a pause, he asked:
"Is there anyone who doesn't intend to participate in this joint effort to expel Longque Technology from Langya Province?"
The banquet hall was completely silent. After a while, a heavenly being stood up and made a respectful salute:
"The master of the palace, the chief warden, and this Mr. Jun Sakata, I will not participate, please still invite me."
The words fell.
‘Boom! ’
Sakata Junyi pointed, half of the body of the heavenly being exploded, and he collapsed to the ground, dying!
The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
"Next, is anyone else planning to quit?"
Jun Sakata looked around domineeringly and waited for a moment, but no one dared to answer.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, he folded his hands and said lightly:
"In that case, let's officially start the discussion and signing of the expulsion of Longque Technology. Well, let me ask one last time, who agrees and who opposes this matter?"
There was silence.
The smile on Jun Sakata's face became even more satisfied, and he was about to continue saying something.
"I object."
A calm voice spoke.
The trembling dignitaries in the banquet hall all looked sideways, looking at the last table as if they were fools.
Chen Dao's face was confused, and he turned his head stiffly and looked at the calm-looking Brother Lu next to him.
"You're crazy!" He tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes next to him, but the next moment.
Chen Dao saw Brother Lu standing up calmly, with clear eyes, neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor scared nor scared, but he just repeated it calmly.
"I am opposed to this incident, so who agrees and who opposes my objection?"
