Although Li Tianzhao is already a general, he is still very sober. The status of the king is noble, however, there is no real power.

Shou Zhong is the mayor of a big border city, and it is categorically unreasonable to greet each other at the city gate with the 'friendship' of the two.

Looking at the enthusiastic smile on Shouzhong's face, as well as the tone of concern for Shan Qianqi, he pulled the head of Qianshan City out again, saying how deep their friendship was.

These are linked together for a reason.

Sitting in the main seat in the city mayor's mansion, Shan Qianqi felt that it was not new, she often messed around when she was a child, and she also did the position of the mayor of Qianshan City.

It's just that the mayor of a big city like Shou Zhong is so earnest, and Shan Qianqi realized the dignity of Mrs. Wang Jiang.

Li Tianzhao was in a hurry to see his parents, and he didn't want to bring his parents here, he just hoped that Shouzhong didn't know about his parents, and where was he willing to take the initiative to give Shouzhong a chance to get close to them.

So Li Tianzhao asked everyone else to retreat, and then said to Shouzhong: "With my friendship with the city chief, I can't bear such hospitality today." If there is anything to do with the mayor, he may as well tell me directly. ”

Shouzhong was no stranger to Li Tianzhao's temper, and at this time, he did not annoy people in a circle, and immediately replied: "The prestige of the king general, wherever he goes, there will be such enthusiasm, and the spontaneous enthusiasm of the soldiers in the city, what does it have to do with me? ”

Li Tianzhao drank the tea, nodded, and motioned for him to continue.

In fact, when the king was a general, I already had an idea, but at that time, I couldn't bear to betray the kindness of the governor of Beifeng Prefecture. Now that the governor is gone, I don't have any worries, today I sincerely plead to be under the banner of the king! From now on, the only way to protect the city is the king's order!" Shouzhong suddenly said this, Shan Qianqi's eyes couldn't help but light up, but he didn't make a sound because of this.

Li Tianzhao was not surprised, Shouzhong said this, but let him understand that his far-sighted plan to defend the city had been detected by Shouzhong.

But the question is, how did he perceive it?

Or is it that Shouzhong is just thinking of danger in times of peace, plus the governor of Beifeng Prefecture is not a general after his resurrection, and the Beifeng family is not what it used to be, and the two reasons are combined to prompt Shouzhong to change his court?

Shouzhong stared at Li Tianzhao, quietly waiting for his reply.

Li Tianzhao was silent for a long time, and Shan Qianqi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shouzhong City Chief's sincerity, what is the king hesitating about?"

"It's a good thing for the mayor to surrender. Li Tianzhao actually didn't want to agree, because he was still sure about the future of the city, in other words, if he was loyal or not sincere, he would be in charge of the affairs here in the future. However, in the current situation, he has no reason to say no.

Others took the initiative to take refuge, but he turned people away and spread the word, which is tantamount to telling others that the place he Li Tianzhao is eyeing only to seize and not accept refuge, which is tantamount to forcing people to fight back desperately to save themselves. As long as there is a fight, there will be casualties, and the resulting deaths, can Li Tianzhao's fighters understand?

They are bound to feel that they can control the guardian city without fighting, and he, Li Tianzhao, because of his own selfishness, has to refuse to surrender to the loyal Cheng, which will cause unnecessary death.

Li Tianzhao asked himself, if he changed his position with his soldiers, and the important people around him died because of this, nine times out of ten he would think the same.

Although Li Tianzhao was reluctant, if he wanted to refuse Shouzhong's words, he had to have a reason for saying the past, so he said: "It's a good thing that Shouzhong City Mayor looks up to it like this." But I don't know what the mayor wants, and the mayor wants to be under my banner, and I can't let the mayor pay without reaping, but if the mayor asks for it, I can't afford to give it, and of course I don't dare to accept the mayor's wishes. ”

"Defending the city is a place of fierce battles, I have been here for many years, under the long battle, but the merits have not grown, and I owe the king a huge amount of merit, I don't know what year and month it will be able to pay off! In addition to the king generals, who in the world has the ability to make the exploits of its soldiers advance by leaps and bounds? I also received the infection of the king generals, so I have the heart to win the ten thousand battle generals, so I cheekily implore the lonely king to be fulfilled!" Shou Zhong said sincerely.

However, Li Tianzhao knew that these words were still concealed, so he asked: "Why is the city chief willing to take the position of city chief?

"I'm not afraid of the king's jokes, I've been in the guardian city for so many years, and I've always had a lot of good friends with the mayors of the big and small cities. At that time, the mayor of the city guarding the city, I will naturally hand it over to my own people under the Wang General's command. Shouzhong was suddenly so humble, Li Tianzhao listened, but couldn't help laughing.

"I see! The city mayor is not thinking about the vice governor, but the governor!" Li Tianzhao understood, the former governor of Beifeng Prefecture is now a thousand generals, and the most promising thing for the Beifeng family to be promoted to ten thousand generals now is Beifeng Qingyun, but her rank is lower than that of Shouzhong.

"If there is such an opportunity, of course I want to work hard, but there are many competitors in this matter, especially Beifeng Qingyun is still the ex-wife of Wang Jiang, of course Wang Jiang can't be too partial to me, and I don't dare to hope for this, but I feel good if I can be a good deputy governor in the future." Shouzhong's words were self-aware, but Shan Qianqi was confused, she hadn't heard about the north wind and clouds, and she had doubts in her heart, but she didn't explore it at this time.

"Since the mayor of the city knows that I can't give you more care than others, how do you think of the opportunity to compete for the position of governor?" Li Tianzhao listened with a little interest, Shou Zhong is very good at seizing the opportunity, daring to think and dare to do.

"The king will ask, don't dare not answer!" Shou Zhong immediately cheered up, he was also very sure that Li Tianzhao would definitely try to protect the city. With Li Tianzhao's character, it is impossible to be a person who can be mastered by Beifeng Qingyun, so it is impossible to regard the interests of the Beifeng family as very important.

He promised to give up the city in the future, and only exchange Li Tianzhao to help his merits soar, so what reason was there to refuse him? For Li Tianzhao, it was a good thing that would be beneficial and harmless.

"The former governor of the North Wind Prefecture fell to the heaven-level thousand generals, and then he wants to rise to ten thousand generals in the short term, unless there is a king general to help. But Wang Jiang has no friendship with him, but he has a reason to help the north wind and clouds. Beifeng Qingyun is bent on being the governor, so he will ask for help from the general. Seeing that the position of governor that belongs to her in the future is suddenly about to compete with the former governor, she will never be willing to back down. In terms of merit, she must have improved faster. The former governor dragged his family with him, and he was destined to not win at this point, and his personal relationship with Wang Jiang was not as good as the north wind and clouds, and of course Wang Jiang would not help him. In this way, if he wants to hold the position of governor, he has to buy time, and first of all, he can't let the north wind take it away. The only way is to help the son-in-law of the North Wind family, who is now the governor, to fight against the North Wind and buy time for himself. Therefore, in the future, the Beifeng family will inevitably be chaotic because of infighting. A big clan with deep roots like the Beifeng family is difficult for outsiders to replace, and only internal strife can give others a chance. Such an opportunity is hard to come by, no matter which of them wins in the end, they can quickly unite the forces of the North Wind family and restore stability to the situation, and at that time, there will be no way to shake it. ”

The eyes of loyalty are very vicious, and Li Tianzhao has to admire this guy's ability to grasp the opportunity.

Having said that, Li Tianzhao couldn't find a reason to refuse to accept Shouzhong, but he didn't have the slightest reason in his heart to succeed in Shouzhong.

Originally, he didn't really care who was the governor, but now he preferred Beifeng Qingyun to be the governor, although, in fact, the latter became the governor, and there may not be any difference.

However, he is disgusted with loyalty.

Disgust is disgust, but Li Tianzhao can't write it on his face at the moment, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, many things here in the city will have to be helped by the city mayor in the future." ”

"I am willing to serve the king!" Shouzhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said that he would invite Li Tianzhao's parents to come over.

Shouzhong had known the news for a long time, and he only mentioned it now, just because he knew that Li Tianzhao didn't have a good impression of him, and he was afraid that if he invited him over early, he would be misunderstood by Li Tianzhao, and now that the matter is finalized, he is his own person, of course he has no reason to do anything that is not conducive to Li Tianzhao's parents.

Invite someone to come at this moment, of course, only with hospitality, and not be misunderstood.

When Li Tianzhao saw his parents, he saw that they were in a good mood, and introduced their past teammates one by one, and said that he would pass on their swordsmanship as soon as possible.

After Shan Qianqi greeted Li Tianzhao's parents, he found that they only asked her a few words, but they were not enthusiastic, and it seemed that they didn't like her very much.

Shouzhong heard that he was teaching swordsmanship, and since he himself was under Li Tianzhao's banner, he could learn a move according to the rules, of course, he also wanted to learn it earlier, so he hurriedly said: "There is a practice secret room here, which is large and spacious, and the Lone King can use it at any time." ”

"Then after dinner. Li Tianzhao deliberately didn't mention the matter of passing on the loyal sword move, which made him anxious for a while.

During the meal, Shouzhong knew that Li Tianzhao didn't talk much, so he complimented Li Tianzhao's parents and asked them to be the protagonists of the banquet, listening to them talk about the past battles, and everyone else listened and applauded from time to time.

Chen Pi suddenly came over and asked Li Tianzhao to talk to the side, and the two left the table and found a secluded place.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Pi sighed: "About your father." I've been in the middle of a side interview these days, and I've had a couple of late conversations with your father, so I know what they're thinking. So I think you shouldn't be too much for the time being, meet occasionally, eat and drink together, and slowly increase the relative number and duration. Think about it, you are a king and a general, and you are famous all over the world. Your memories of them are all about teaching you how to practice when you were a child. But now, can they still teach you?"

"A thousand battles, please continue. Li Tianzhao listened very carefully and thought.
