In the next half a month, Tang Lang had a very comfortable life, the business of the villa continued to be full, and several business partners also made a lot of money.

A large number of spars were secretly sent back to Canglei Academy, some of them were handed over to Dean Zongbo to continue to strengthen the construction, and more parts were handed over to the hall masters to continue to expand their strength.

The relationship between the three daughters is more harmonious under Hang Xiaoyu's intentional reconciliation, and occasionally has a small gathering with Tang Lang, which makes him happy, and finally acquiesces to the existence of Hang Xiaoyu, but the three daughters are not allowed to seduce other women in three chapters with him, otherwise he will be served by the family law.

If there was no pressure from Dark Flame, Tang Lang was extremely satisfied with his current life, and he felt that he had reached the peak of his life, and even his cultivation was a little slack, and he didn't read the information of the Demon Transformation Sect that he had systematically sorted out.

On this day, Tang Lang was about to go to chat with the third girl, Yao Yeyi hurried from Yuanshui City, and when he saw Tang Lang, he shouted: "I finally found you, go back with me, the city lord has something to look for you!"

"No, no, no, I'm very busy here, I don't have time to go back!" Tang Lang shook his head and refused.

Yao Yeyi scolded with a smile angrily: "What are you busy with! Who doesn't know that you nest in the mountain villa every day to pick up girls, it's a great thing that the city lord is looking for you to have something to do!"

"What's a good thing? Let's hear about it first!" Tang Lang sat motionless in his seat for a long time.

"After the annual city lord evaluation of Shao'an County, the county guard will gather all the city lords in Liaochang City to discuss meritorious deeds and hold the Shao'an annual meeting. At the annual meeting, there will also be a taste of the young talents emerging from various cities, and this year, Yuanshui City has elected you to participate in the annual meeting!"

"What annual meeting? I'm not interested!" Tang Lang was most disgusted by these red tapes, and refused directly without thinking about it.

"Really?" Yao Yeyi showed a wicked smile: "Don't regret it!"

"What is the benefit of this Rausch annual meeting, hurry up and recruit me from the truth!" Tang Lang reacted that there must be a hidden secret, and asked with interest.

Yao Yeyi was not in a hurry now, sat down and said slowly: "This, I ran too fast just now, I am a little thirsty now, and I want to drink some tea......

Tang Lang sneered: "If you want to pinch me, drink tea, it's simple, I'll make you tea to drink!" After speaking, he popped out a fireball from between his fingers, flying around him, and several times almost brushed Yao Yeyi's hair, and another ice arrow flashed in the room, frightening the other party to quickly admit it.

"Okay, I'm not thirsty now! I'll tell you ......."

In addition to the annual evaluation of the nine cities under the jurisdiction of the Shao'an annual meeting, there is also a tradition that the city lords select young talents according to a certain number of places to conduct literary and martial arts competitions, forming a rapid selection of talents, which is a bit similar to the previous Tianqing domestic academy competition.

However, the cultivation level of the Tianlan Empire is much higher than that of the Tianqing Empire, and the cultivation is not limited to the academy, various families, associations and schools of thought contend, in addition to the development of the economy, a very important duty of the city lords is to discover the outstanding young people under their command, give them better opportunities for improvement, and finally become the pillars of the country.

Therefore, at every annual meeting, the candidates nominated by the city lords will try their best to be in front of everyone

The best performance is achieved, and the county guard is happy to give many rewards to the winners, and it is said that this year's winners will have unprecedented prizes and the opportunity to participate in the 10-year Imperial Competition.

"Reward, what reward will the county guard come up with?" Tang Lang heard this, his interest became more and more intense, and he opened his eyes wide and waited for an answer.

"I knew you were going to ask this, I asked someone to inquire clearly early in the morning!" Yao Yeyi said eloquently: "The nine cities of Shao'an County, except for the county town Liaochang City, the remaining eight cities According to last year's ranking, the top four have five places, the last four have only three places, and Liaochang City has ten places, a total of forty-two people!"

"So many people?" Tang Lang frowned.

Yao Yeyi shook his head angrily: "That's more, do you know how many people want the city lord to recommend, a place is hard to buy, you still think it's too much! If you hadn't made a great contribution in the evaluation this year, how could the city lord be willing to give you such a precious place!"

"I helped the city lord earn more than a thousand gold!

Tang Lang felt that it was simply a matter of course to be recommended, and he hated Yao Yeyi's teeth: "As long as you enter the top ten at this annual meeting, you will be rewarded, and the fourth to ten will be rewarded with five hundred spars, and the top three can not only enter the treasure house of the county guard to choose a treasure, but also participate in the imperial competition on behalf of Shao'an County." ”

"Five hundred spars are dispensable, but entering the treasure house of the county guard is a bit of a gimmick, and I have booked this reward first. As for going to participate in the Imperial Competition, I'm not from the Tianlan Empire, I'm afraid something is wrong!" Tang Lang has already put the first three in his pocket.

"It's not simple, if you can really get into the top three, the county guard will definitely give you an imperial identity! Tang Lang, you don't know, if you can really stand out in the imperial competition, you will have a chance to enter the dragon pool. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and most of the top ten grandmasters of the current empire have entered the Dragon Pool back then!"

"What the hell is the Dragon Pool?" Tang Lang thought of a huge hot spring pool, and some people soaked in it, showing a refreshing expression......

"Hey!" Yao Yeyi saw Tang Lang's distraction, and shouted in front of his eyes: "The Dragon Transformation Pool is an important inheritance of the Tianlan Empire, which can bring out the potential of people at full speed, but the outside world does not know what the specific situation is, and those who have entered it are also required not to reveal any information. ”

"So mysterious?" Tang Lang was completely aroused by his interest in the annual meeting and the follow-up imperial competition, jumped up, and walked towards the door.

"What are you going to do?" Yao Yeyi asked loudly.

Tang Lang replied without looking back: "City Lord's Mansion ......"

The introduction of Feng Honglang, the city lord of Yuanshui City, to Tang Lang was also similar, except that he added an official position of the city lord's mansion to the branch, this position was in charge of all the financial statistics and expenditures within the jurisdiction of the entire Yuanshui City, and his power was more than twice as large as that of the previous staff.

"City Lord, you have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, so you don't mind my Tianqing identity?" Tang Lang asked rhetorically.

Feng Honglang laughed: "I'm a city lord, don't I even have this kind of mind? Besides, the Tianqing Kingdom has always been an existence attached to Tianlan, and it is not a hostile force!"

Tang Lang threw out a long-standing doubt: "Since the city lord also thinks that Tianqing is a subordinate of Tianlan, why did Tianlan start this time when Dark Flame invaded Tianqing."

Finally indifferent, no action at all?"

Feng Honglang sighed and said: "I have no way of knowing this, there must be some purpose for the decision of the high-level! rest assured, Tianlan will definitely not sit idly by and watch Dark Yan grow his strength, and will definitely intervene." ”

"Anyway, I don't expect to restore the world by pretending to be someone else's hand, everything still has to rely on my own strength!" Tang Lang said categorically.

"Tang Lang, don't be so indignant, just make sure you have a clear conscience! You finally come to me for a trip, stay for dinner for a while, I will introduce the other two young people who participated in the annual meeting to you, you have a good chat, and then it will depend on you to cooperate with each other!" Feng Honglang changed the topic.

There were three places in Yuanshuicheng's annual meeting, Tang Lang occupied one, and the other two were You Ning, a young officer from the military, and Wen Yuyu, an outstanding disciple of the largest local sect, the Hurricane Sect, both of whom had participated in the annual meeting many times.

After listening to Feng Honglang's introduction, Tang Lang said vigilantly: "Wen Yuyu, I don't know what it has to do with the Wen family?"

Feng Honglang smiled bitterly: "He is the eldest son of the Wen family, he has been found to be extremely talented since he was a child, and he was sent to the Wind Sect to practice by the Wen family, and he really lived up to expectations and became one of the most prominent disciples of the Wind Sect in the past ten years!"

Tang Lang sneered: "City Lord, the Wen family and the Bao family are now on the same page with my Chamber of Commerce, and they have framed me many times, so that I can cooperate with him, aren't you afraid that we will fight among ourselves first?"

"I can't help it! The Blastwind Sect's forces in Yuanshui City are intertwined, and every year there will be a place sponsored by them at the annual meeting, and I can't directly refuse. Feng Honglang is also helpless.

"Okay!" Tang Lang accepted calmly: "As long as he doesn't come to provoke me, I won't deliberately trouble him, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and Feng Honglang smiled awkwardly: "I know that you kid won't suffer." I will also warn Wen Yuyu not to allow him to deliberately cause trouble, if he dares to affect the results of this annual meeting, even if the Blastwind Sect pleads, I will sanction him!"

Not long after, the other two came to the City Lord's Mansion one after another.

Wen Yuyu was as his name suggested, wearing a sky-blue robe, with long black hair and a shawl, and a kind and gentle smile, like a piece of beautiful jade, but Tang Lang always felt that the other party's gaze at him showed a hint of chill from time to time.

And You Ning, a young officer from the military, didn't want to be as tiger-backed as Tang Lang imagined, but his figure was a little thin, but every muscle seemed to contain endless power, and it would explode at any time, with a capable suit and a faint scar on his face, the whole person was faintly full of evil.

While Tang Lang looked at the two of them, the two of them also cast their eyes on him, and they also wanted to see what was so special about this newcomer who suddenly rose in Yuanshui City.

Feng Honglang broke the silence between the three of them and said: "This annual meeting, Yuanshui City will rely on the cooperation of the three of you, and any personal grievances cannot be brought to the annual meeting, if it affects the overall results of Yuanshui City, it will definitely be held accountable by the city lord!"

"City Lord, please rest assured!" The first to respond was Wen Yuyu, who showed a hearty smile towards Tang Lang: "I am now representing the Yuanshui City Wind Sect, and it has nothing to do with the Wen family from which I was born, so please don't mind Brother Tang!"
