The great elder's words fell into silence among the group.
"You should be aware of Long Ge's positioning. Long Ge is an external violent organization. Their battlefields are always outside, never on the land of Da Xia.
I have a document here. Take a look yourselves, and then you can vote. The final outcome will be determined by the voting result. Whether Yuan Gang can take office depends on our vote, and then we report to Qin Han Lie."
Ning Qi, standing behind, distributed the documents and then left the conference room.
This document contained all of Long Ge's achievements in recent years, including how many people sacrificed and how many were seriously injured and retired. Everything was recorded within.
In the past, no one but the great elder could access this document. The reason for releasing it now was because the great elder did not want Long Ge to fall into the hands of someone who didn't understand it, which would lead to the death of countless Long Ge soldiers.
These soldiers were all the cream of the crop, the elite. No one wished to see these people die.
"In the past five years, Long Ge has suffered thirty thousand deaths, over nineteen thousand serious injuries, and more than sixteen thousand retired due to serious injuries. These figures are the medals of Long Ge, a perfect answer sheet for Da Xia.
The first master of Long Ge has retired. I know many people want to obtain Long Ge. However, from my perspective, I do not wish for Long Ge to become the organization of a single person or a single family. I propose that from now on, every future master of Long Ge can only be selected and promoted from within Long Ge. Do you have any objections?"
He spoke slowly, and the elders present remained silent.
"Since that's the case, let's vote."
"Does Yuan Gang serve as the second master of Long Ge? Do you agree?"
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The sixth elder, the great elder, and the second elder agreed. Only the third, fourth, and fifth elders had not raised their hands to vote.
The three of them did not speak, but it was clear that the third elder's face was full of conflict. Obviously, the third elder was also very conflicted about this matter, but since he didn't say anything, no one knew what he was conflicted about.
At least for now, the vote was tied three to three.
"Since this is the case, the internal court vote is tied three to three. According to the rules and procedures, the military will make a statement. After the military makes its statement, both results will be presented to the Supreme Commander in document form for a decision."
Even if they agreed, it still had to be voted on by the military. After the military voted, the results from the internal court and the military would be presented to the Supreme Commander, who would make the final decision.
If the Supreme Commander agreed, an appointment document would be issued; if not, all requests would be rejected.
"From today onwards, I, Ye Long Lin, officially step down as the master of Long Ge."
...
At the same time, a stretched Hummer stopped at the entrance of a residential area.
The front and rear windows lowered simultaneously.
"Is this the residential area?"
Zheng Shao, in the back seat, asked curiously as he looked at the complex.
In the back row, a man dressed in casual clothing looked gentle. He had dark circles under his eyes, indicating a life of excessive indulgence in wine and women.
"Yes, Young Master Zheng. According to Zhou Feng Ya, it's here. Should I get out and scout the path first?"
A young man beside him said with a fawning smile.
The Zheng family was one of the ten great families.
Although Zheng Qi was not among the most outstanding members of the direct lineage, he was still part of it.
Recently, he had been frequenting various entertainment venues, sampling all kinds of women. He was just about to look for prey when, at a crucial moment, Zhou Feng Ya actually recommended such a good catch.
"Young Master Zheng, it's her."
The subordinate beside him suddenly said.
Just then, Qin Qiu walked out from inside, carrying a basket of vegetables.
"This girl is not bad."
Her delicate demeanor and charming eyes made her a stunner.
She possessed the petite frame of a Southern woman, and her inherent quiet and elegant temperament was truly captivating.
"Get her into the car and take her to the hotel."
"This ten million referral fee was truly worth it," Zheng Qi said with a smile, rubbing his chin.
Mu Han Qi, who had only been in the capital for two days, never expected to encounter an uninvited guest at her doorstep.
"Hello."
The subordinate, whom Zheng Qi called Lai Fu, quickly walked behind Mu Han Qi and spoke politely.
As soon as Mu Han Qi turned around, a white towel was instantly pressed over her mouth and nose. Mu Han Qi realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, but her eyelids grew heavier, and her body couldn't muster any strength.
She was directly taken away from the entrance of the residential area.
In broad daylight, they never considered the feelings of others.
"Drive."
Zhou Feng Ya, who had been watching from the shadows, revealed a smile at the corner of her mouth. She took a sip of coffee, looking at the ten million that had appeared in her bank account.
She was satisfied. Now, all that was left was to notify Ye Long Lin.
At the same time, Yuan Gang, who was guarding outside the Hall of Honor, suddenly received news from a Long Ge soldier, and his expression instantly turned grim.
He turned to go inside, but was blocked by two imperial guards. "General Yuan, a meeting is being held inside. Please excuse us."
Yuan Gang's eyes were filled with killing intent. "If you don't want me to spill blood in the inner
