In the entire Tianwu Continent, the forces are divided into eight levels, of which there are many third-rate and second-rate forces, all of which are established by congenital or even acquired martial artists, and only first-class forces can be regarded as worthy of the table.

And the City Lord's Mansion can be regarded as a first-class force, because the City Lord himself is a cultivator in the Guiyuan Realm, and the requirement of the first-class forces is to have a strong person in the Guiyuan Realm.

What's more, the city lord is directly appointed and dismissed by the Dayue Dynasty, and what he represents behind it is the overlord-level force of the Dayue Dynasty!

You must know that the first-class forces are upward, there are Tribulation Transformation Realm monks who can be called king-level forces, there are Cave Void Realm monks who can be called emperor-level forces, there are Heaven Realm monks who are also honorable forces, and there are transcendent realm powerhouses can be called a holy land!

But this has to go up further, that is, like the Dayue Dynasty, ruling one side, it can be called a hegemon-level force!

In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Yu asked the guards to wait at the door, and stepped forward to face the two guards of the City Lord's Mansion

The two of them reported the trouble, and Xiang Yu came to ask for a meeting. ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them said respectfully: "Xiang Gongzi wait a while, I'll go and report." ”

After a while, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a calm face sat high in the hall, his thick eyebrows were quite majestic, and the maid on the side respectfully helped him make the tea. This person is none other than Tang Zhan, the city lord of Luyang City, who is a friend of Xiang Yu's father, and a strong man who has returned to the Yuan Realm three times!

"Xiaoyu, how is your injury, I have been riddled with mundane things these days, and I really can't go to visit you, don't take it to heart. Taking a sip of tea slightly, Tang Zhan was a little apologetic.

Uncle Tang laughed, but some skin injuries are now fine. Xiang Yu said with a smile.

"Haha, city lord, you are also worrying blindly, I see that Xiang Yu, this kid is not only not injured, but he is also very good!"

At this time, a young man beside Tang Zhan laughed, saying that he was a young man, but he looked at it and felt older than the city lord, and he was a little anxious, with a Chinese face, and a beard, which looked very rough.

This person is none other than Lu Yan, the leader of the Luyang City Guards, a congenital six-fold cultivator, who is Tang Zhan's right-hand man, and has won his trust.

"Oh?!"

Tang Zhan was suspicious, fixed his eyes, and sure enough!

"Heh, it's my clumsiness, Xiaoyu, you are really a big disaster, and there will be a blessing in the future, it seems that the healing medicine I prepared for you is redundant. Tang Zhan shook his head and smiled, obviously seeing that Xiang Yu had broken through, he paused, only to see the bag on his waist flash, and a medicine bottle appeared in his hand, and said: "This is a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill, you have broken through not long ago, and your breath is still unstable, so take it back as a healing medicine and use it." ”

"How can this be, Uncle Tang, my injuries have healed, and it is only a matter of a day or two to stabilize the realm, how can I take your pill. Xiang Yu hurriedly excused himself.

Lu Mad glared at the side, and said angrily: "If you want to take it, you can take it, where is there so much nonsense." ”

"Xiaoyu, you just take it, Uncle Tang, how can I care about a bottle of elixir, don't you take it to make me feel sorry. Tang Zhan opened his mouth to persuade.

Xiang Yu was not a pedantic person, so he got up and saluted: "Then thank you Uncle Tang." ”

"Hmm. ”

Tang Zhan also smiled and nodded.

"Hey, boy, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, why did you come to find the city lord?"

Xiang Yu happily took the pill in his heart, and before he could sit down, he heard Lu Yan ask loudly on the side.

As he spoke, Tang Zhan also looked at Xiang Yu suspiciously.

Xiang Yu paused, and did not beat around the bush, so he opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Tang, you know that the mining area in the south of Zipeng Mountain is the industry that my Xiang family is responsible for, this demon beast disaster, although I will not die, but several mining holes in the mining area have collapsed, this cold winter, it is good that each miner can complete the mining of a thousand catties, and the tax at the end of the month is afraid that it is..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan interjected on the side: "Boy, you don't want the city lord to help your Xiang family evade taxes, the city lord is already worried enough because of the young city lord's affairs, how can he easily interfere in the matter of taxes." ”

Tang Zhan's face also changed after hearing this, how can the matter of paying taxes be simple, if he is not careful, it may be a disaster, although he has a lot of relationship with the Xiang family, but when it comes to this aspect, he cannot be allowed to act imprudently.

"No, no, no, Brother Lu, you misunderstood me, I didn't think about tax evasion, this month's mining tax must not be paid, but I already have a solution, I just want to ask the Zhang family if they have discussed the matter of the mining area with the city lord." ”

Xiang Yu hurriedly explained, and his quick words almost disrupted his thinking.

Tang Zhan understood, Xiang Yu said this before he knew what he meant, looking at his embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will report to the imperial court this time to pay taxes, and explain in detail the collapse of the mining area, your Xiang family has an extraordinary status in the imperial court, and there will be nothing to be embarrassed." ”

After hearing this, Xiang Yu felt a little relieved. That's right, although the Xiang family is now showing weakness in the court, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and not everyone can be offended.

What's more, among the Xiang family now, the second son, Xiang Ye, is like the sky, fighting all over the imperial capital and the invincible opponents of the younger generation, and he actually broke through to the peak of the acquired realm two years ago! It is known as the first genius of the Xiang family in thousands of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even the first genius of the imperial capital. Someone once said that except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who saw the head and tail of the divine dragon, no one in the younger generation may be his opponent, and most of them may not be his enemies!

"However, the steward of the Zhang family did come to see me, and also said that the mining area of your Xiang family collapsed and was not well managed, and asked me to report to the imperial court to redivide that mining area. The white wolf with empty gloves is simply delusional! I really don't know if the Zhang family is so blind to no one, it's really too deceitful!"

Speaking of the Zhang family, Tang Zhan's face suddenly became gloomy, and even Xiang Yu could see the anger in his eyes. This made him a little strange, it seems that Tang Zhan hates the people of the Zhang family more than his Xiang family, could it be that someone in the Zhang family has offended Tang Zhan? But it is okay, it saves a lot of things, and can let the City Lord's Mansion and the Xiang family deal with the Zhang family in Luyang City together.

"My lord, I think it's better to do it according to my method, I'll take my brothers to the Zhang family's shop to check if I'm fine, so that I can make a trip, even if I can't drive them out of Luyang City, I will disgust the Zhang family's dog!" Lu snorted, his voice was a little angry.

Tang Zhan's face suddenly turned grim, and he ordered: "Don't mess around, I have my own sense of proportion." ”

Before the words fell, a maid hurriedly walked into the hall and said respectfully: "Lord City Lord, the young City Lord is out of the customs." ”

After hearing this, Tang Zhan looked overjoyed.

"Well, you go down. ”

Tang Zhan snorted and glanced at Lu Yan, Xiang Yu knew that he might have something to discuss with Lu Yan, so he got up and saluted: "Uncle Tang, since Tang Long is out of the customs, I'll go see him first, I haven't seen him for several days." ”

"Okay, then you can go. Tang Zhan responded.

With that, Xiang Yu retreated and walked towards Tang Long's room.

......

The City Lord's Mansion was very large, and it took a while to go back and forth before he arrived at Tang Long's room, and Xiang Yu was about to enter.

The two guards hurriedly stopped: "Xiang Gongzi, wait a minute, the young city lord is bathing inside, please wait a while." ”

Xiang Yu suddenly glared, he came to see him with his injuries, and dared to let himself wait? ! ”

The voice was so loud that it seemed that it was afraid that others would not hear it, and the maid passing by was holding back when she heard it, and the two guards laughed directly.

"Bastard! Let him in. An angry voice came from the room.

Xiang Yu smiled smugly and swaggered in.

In the room, a man in a bathrobe sat on a chair drinking tea, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute face, and the eight-pack abs were a little conspicuous and heroic. This person is Xiang Yu's friend Tang Long.

"Bastard, why didn't you smash you to death when the mine collapsed, why didn't you run away from me at home. ”

Putting down the teacup, Tang Long teased mercilessly, obviously haunted by what he had just said.

"Hehe, I said I missed you, do you believe it, I haven't seen you drink with me for many days, and I'm not used to it. Xiang Yu smiled, disagreed, and sat down to pour himself a cup of tea.

"Well, I want to, too, but..."

Speaking of this, Tang Long gritted his teeth a little, as if he had been greatly humiliated.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiang Yu heard that something was wrong, and said with a straight face.

"I... I'm divorced!"
