Chapter 1053: Candidate Dispute
Ji Hao walked into the main hall of the State Council and stood for a while. Everyone in the main hall was making noises and no one looked at him.
After looking around for a while, Ji Hao walked along the wall of the hall to the back corner, patted Si Boyao Meng's shoulder, who was sitting under a large pillar and leaning against the pillar.
Yao Meng woke up suddenly and grabbed the wave axe that was placed beside him.
Seeing that it was Ji Hao, Yao Meng then let out a breath, lowered his voice and greeted him: "Brother Ji Hao, it's you! I was shocked and I thought I was sneaked up by a water demon camping in the wild."
Yao Meng patted the ground beside him, and Ji Hao simply sat down next to him. Yao Meng gasped, grinned and moved his neck, twisting his joints and making a 'crack' sound: "I just had a nightmare... A large group of crocodile demons rushed up overwhelmingly. I dreamed that their thighs were chewed off, and you just slapped them."
Ji Hao looked at Yao Meng's tired face and said in a deep voice: "Your tribe member?"
Yao Meng pointed out outside the hall and said dryly: "The Sishui City has been destroyed, and my Sishui tribe cannot stop the flood at all, so I brought all my tribe members to Puyang to avoid disaster."
Putting down the wave breaking axe, Yao Meng rubbed his hands hard, and looked at Ji Hao awkwardly: "Hey, this, brother Ji Hao..."
Ji Hao frowned and touched Yao Meng's shoulder with his shoulder: "What do you mean? Just say it. We have been having a lifelong friendship together. What's the point of being embarrassed about?"
Yao Meng laughed dryly, looked left and right, and lowered his voice a lot again: "This, brother, I just said it straight. Hey, this, the flood came too quickly. Brother, I took my tribe members and I just ran away in a hurry and couldn't bring out much food. Look, can I allocate some food and grass for my brother?"
Yao Meng swallowed and spitted, looking at Ji Hao with red face: "It doesn't matter, it's okay for us sir. It doesn't matter if we don't eat for three or five days... Besides, we have thick skin and thick flesh, and we can survive even if we eat tree trunks... But the children in the clan can't stand it. Even if it's rice soup, we have to make some to moisten their stomachs every day."
Ji Hao looked at Yao Meng in shock: "The food in your tribe is out of stock? Is there no food or grass distributed here on Puyang?"
Yao Meng spread his hands and looked at Ji Hao with a trace of desolation: "It's been five days since the grain was cut off. Di Shun ordered the grain to be opened to distribute grain, but not much grain is distributed every day, and... My Sishui territory is just a small territory. Hey, what is the food that falls into my hands..."
Ji Hao's face turned gloomy: "Someone took away food? At this time? Does Emperor Shun know?"
Yao Meng shook his head helplessly. He whispered with his eyelids, "It's not a deduction. It's really not that Di Shun doesn't have much food in his hands. The flood is too fierce and too cruel. Who can have food in his hands when he brings his family to Puyang to avoid the disaster?"
With his head tilted, Yao Meng curled his lips to the group of gorgeously dressed and strict-decorated old men standing in front, put his mouth to Ji Hao's ears, and said carefully: "Those big families have food in their hands. For example, there are tens of thousands of large granaries in the Ten-Day House of Ten-Day Country. The underground was hollowed out, and the mountain-like food and meat were stockpiled, but... I emptied my wallet and couldn't buy a grain of rice from them!"
Ji Hao looked at the people in a deep voice and said in a low voice: "Well, I have a palace in Puyang, which is a garden with a large territory. Last time I established the Wanlong Water Seal Formation, I joined forces with the Bohou who had fought against the water demons. If they also brought their tribe members to Puyang, please invite them to live in my palace together."
Ji Hao patted Yao Meng's knee hard and said in a deep voice: "It just so happens that my territory is not strong enough. Two small tribes were making trouble yesterday to grab food. My brothers came over and helped me to suppress the formation. I feel more at ease here."
Yao Meng let out a heavy breath, grabbed Ji Hao's shoulder and shook it. A faint light of water flashed in his eyes: "Brother Ji Hao, don't talk nonsense, you saved our lives..."
After smacking his lips, Yao Meng said dryly: "It's not that I have a difficult life. The few Bohou who acted with us that time had a small territory and were also very harmful to the water demons. They could not stop the flood. They all fled to Puyang with their tribesmen... I'll call them now!"
Ji Hao nodded, took out several bronze tokens from Yaoshan territory from his sleeve and handed them to Yao Meng.
With these tokens, as long as Yao Meng and several other members of Bohou came to Ji Hao's palace, there would naturally be a manager from Yaoshan to be responsible for resettling them.
Yao Meng took the token and went there excitedly. Ji Hao frowned and took out a piece of jade talisman. After engraving a line of information in it with his spiritual sense, he crushed the jade talisman into pieces. He ordered Yaoshan City to allocate more food. With Yao Meng and other people so many people, the food stored in his palace would obviously not last for a few days.
Deep in the hall, Emperor Shun's voice rumbling: "The matter of water control is related to the life and death of the human race..."
Di Shun's words were interrupted very roughly. A tall and thin person with a sharp aura all over his body, like a sharp sword, walked out of the crowd. He shouted loudly: "The matter of water control is related to the life and death of the human race, so we cannot let Si Wenming, a mere junior, intervene! Si Xi just made a big mistake, and Si Wenming will inevitably repeat the same mistake!"
The old man's voice was loud and hard, like two pieces of pig iron colliding hard, and a sharp and fierce aura filled the hall, forcing everyone to feel stuffy in their chests and their whole body felt as uncomfortable as if they were pricked by needles.
Ji Hao looked at the old man in shock. This old guy's aura was even stronger than Si Xi who had proved the witch god that day. Moreover, his aura was stable, mature and sophisticated, and it was not comparable to Si Xi who had just broken through that day.
"When water control is done, we should make plans for the long-term and select virtuous people from the human race to take charge of this matter." Another powerful old man with a strong aura, like a ball of fire, walked out of the crowd. He looked directly at Emperor Shun without fear, and said rumblingly: "This matter is related to the life and death of our human race, so Emperor Shun, this matter cannot be stopped by you alone!"
The hall was quiet and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Someone actually faced the collision with Emperor Shun, who did not respect Emperor Shun's authority at all. The many senior human leaders in the hall were waiting quietly, waiting for Emperor Shun's decision, or waiting for some results that were expected or unexpected to them.
Emperor Shun looked at the two of them with a gloomy expression.
"Gongsun Jian, Suiren Yan... What are the standards of what you call the virtuous human race?"
Di Shun slowly stood up and looked at the two of them coldly: "I haven't seen each other for many years, and they suddenly appeared today. What exactly do they mean?"
Behind Emperor Shun, a dozen extremely terrifying auras suddenly soared into the sky, like more than a dozen strange dragons, instantly shattering the huge auras of Gongsun Jian and Suiren Yan.
