Chapter 271: Phantom Tiger City Affairs
Although the Ghost Domain Sword Sect that Li Hu said seemed to be very powerful, Lin Chen didn't take it seriously, could it be that they were even more powerful than the three major clans.
Since ancient times, there have been good people and evil people, the demon clan and the three major clans are ironclad evidence, since the conquest of the three major clans, Lin Chen's confidence has been unprecedentedly high.
Hearing what they said about the Ghost Sword Sect being so powerful, Lin Chen couldn't help but want to see what kind of sect it was.
"City Lord Li, there is no need to worry about this matter, wherever there is a place to live and work in peace and contentment, there must be demons who are murderous, listen to your name, you know that this ghost sect should also be a sect that does not take the right path, if they dare to come and let me go." β
After Lin Chen finished speaking, the city lord of Li Hu rarely smiled slightly, and said, "Chen'er, do you still call the old man the city lord now?"
"It's my father-in-law, and my son-in-law lacks courtesy, so it's no wonder. Lin Chen also said haha, after all, the relationship between the two is not as tense as it was at the beginning, but men are different from men and women, and there are always some suspicions.
What Li Hu is suspicious of is Lin Chen's strong strength, and he has to know the strange ins and outs, you must know that Lin Chen is not a person from Phantom Tiger City, nor is he a person from the Daqing Dynasty, and Li Hu should be suspicious.
"The emperor ordered me to report to the court, and the defense and armaments here will be handed over to you, and you will declare that Cheng is my son-in-law to the outside world, so that everyone can rest assured, to be honest, I don't know whether to be happy or sad with a son-in-law like you, your strength is indeed too strong." β
Li Hu said frankly, Lin Chen's such a person, he is completely unsure, even in the face of those royal family cultivators, Li Hu asked himself to be able to do a drop of water, but for a person like Lin Chen, Li Hu actually couldn't see the truth at all.
What Lin Chen said is true or false, or he is a killer, looking at what Lin Chen did, he was even more ferocious than the killer, no wonder it made people think crankily.
With such thoughts, Li Hu didn't know how to deal with it, just at this time, Liu Ji suddenly ordered him to meet, although Li Hu was a little worried, but at this time there was no other way, the arrival of the second prince of Liu made the Phantom Tiger City a mess.
Now even the first sword of Shushan was defeated in Phantom Tiger City, and for a while, the small Phantom Tiger City actually became a land of dragons and tigers.
Li Hu was originally a person who lived in a remote corner, he didn't like to fight, he didn't like fame and fortune, otherwise he wouldn't have been assigned to such a small city.
But because he couldn't speak, he offended several big officials in the court, so he was assigned here, and he hurriedly held a meeting and asked several veterans in the city to attend.
Lin Chen was also sitting, which showed that Li Hu no longer regarded Lin Chen as an outsider. Some of the more than a dozen veterans are even full of silver hair, they have basically not reached the Spirit Emperor stage, waiting for them to retire and retire, and some people don't even have the gold to retire.
These people are the backbone of the city, and in the face of the recent events in Phantom Tiger City, these people have created a confrontation between the two forces.
"City Lord Li, our Phantom Tiger City is located on the frontier, and we have been bullied by more than a dozen surrounding cities all day long, and now that Lin Chen is your son-in-law and has defeated the first sword of Shushan, it is the time for our Phantom Tiger to become famous. β
"Mr. Wang's words are wrong, our Phantom Tiger City has always aimed not to provoke idle things and not participate in any battles, so we have maintained peace for hundreds of years, and now let us Phantom Tiger City openly make enemies of Shushan and the imperial family, and you will put hundreds of thousands of our compatriots in a disadvantageous realm at this time. β
"Mr. Zhang, don't you want to open a sect and establish a mansion, although the city lord Li Hu is a city lord, but we are located in a wild land, we eat no more than a few buckets of rice every day, and the residents are frugal, which can be compared with the brocade clothes and jade food in the big city, we should take this opportunity to subdue the ten surrounding cities and become a veritable frontier king, so as to compete with the dynasty. β
There are all kinds of voices around, but most of them are for their own interests, and there are a few who are loyal to the Daqing Dynasty, and most of them have been dissatisfied with Shushan and several surrounding cities for a long time.
Lin Chen didn't speak, after all, he was new to the city, and he didn't know much about the situation here, but with Lin Chen's character, it was impossible to be subservient.
Li Hu comforted the people around him: " Don't get excited, I know that the generals have worked hard over the years, and the court really doesn't care much about our phantom tiger, and the treatment of the generals is not too good, but the border is like this, you are not here for a day or two, you have been living here for 20 years, let you change a place, change those cities that live richly, I guess you will not get used to it, I mean we Phantom Tiger is still the previous city, we are veterans or former generals, I am about to go to the dynasty to report on my work, you must not civil strife, everything in the city has two generalsγ β
The two generals of Zhang Wang are the two veterans who just spoke, it is because they have the best relationship with Li Hu, so they are unhappy about the treatment of Phantom Hu, in fact, the border cities are like this, life is completely on their own, and the court only collects money and does not help any government affairs and people's livelihood, and it is completely taken care of by Zhang Wang and the two veterans.
The two of them have worked hard, although some complaints are also deserved,
Li Hu introduced Lin Chen to the two generals and said: "This is the rumored Lin Chen, who is also my son-in-law, you two can discuss with him if you two have any resolution, I will hand it over to the three of you, rest assured, don't let me down." β
Zhang Wang and the others looked at Lin Chen happily when they heard this, although the two of them were old, they were actually still envious of the enthusiastic and energetic young people.
General Zhang first said: "I have long heard of General Lin Chen's prestige, even the second prince and the Shushan Divine Sword are afraid of General Lin, in the future, our Phantom City will have a future, unlike the two of us who are doing some chores in the city, it is completely impossible to fight against the enemy, otherwise it will not provoke the surrounding cities to insult together." β
Lin Chen hurriedly said modestly: "Everyone is a city guard, and they should help each other." β
After a few people saw it, Li Hu was ready to travel far away.
General Zhang's original name was Zhang Peilai, he was over sixty years old this year, and he was still dutifully doing a good job in the defense of the city, he said to Lin Chen: "Phantom Tiger City now has internal troubles outside, and there are contempt from nearby cities outside. β
Although the two knew that Lin Chen was powerful, they looked down on the younger Lin Chen after all, so they took a leisurely try.
"Gather all the soldiers within three of them, and I'll put your military affairs in order. Lin Chen just smiled indifferently after hearing this, this kind of trivial matter, Lin Chen has been there since he was a child.
The soldiers in the city were lax, and they had not rectified military affairs for more than ten years, and this time they heard that they were going to rectify military affairs, and they pulled the assembly order in the middle of the night, but only three or four generals arrived, and everyone else was asleep.
No matter what, Zhang Peilai looked at the four people very embarrassed, and said to Lin Chen: "I'm sorry, there are only so many people gathered in the middle of the night, and the others should be able to meet tomorrow." β
