Like friends, welcome to the Zongheng Chinese network to read the genuine version, I hope to get everyone's strong support!!

······

What happened in Ning'an City can also be said to be a microcosm of the entire Zhantian Continent, all the cities, although some cities seem to be calm and safe on the surface, but the open and secret battles between various families are essential, often some small families do not know why they will be removed, and at the same time, there will be new family forces, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Although there is the City Lord's Mansion as a management, but the battle between the families, it is rarely involved, as long as it does not harm the interests of others, it is also a river of blood for your two clans, and when the City Lord's Mansion comes forward to clean up the mess, often at this time, the City Lord's Mansion will get a lot of benefits.

And the City Lord's Mansion is also happy to see the battle between the families, the more fierce the fight, the better, especially the battle between the big families, the City Lord's Mansion is the most happy to see.

These big families generally have the capital and strength to compete with the City Lord's Mansion, and these forces are unstable for the City Lord's Mansion.

And these big families have a lot of business in the city, although they will also pay taxes to the city lord's mansion, but although the share is a lot, but this is all on the surface, and it is unknown how much benefit these families have made.

At the same time, the influence of these people in the city is not small, and the City Lord's Mansion does not dare to make things too big, so many things are also turned a blind eye.

Despite this, the City Lord's Mansion does not want to see the existence of this kind of force that is not under his control, and at this time, it will greatly affect the benefits he obtains, and in order to maximize his own interests, he naturally wants these big families to fight among themselves.

And the fight between these big families is to consume each other's strength, which is naturally of great benefit to the city government's control of these forces, and it can also make itself more profitable.

Even some city lords who are quite deep in the city government, and scheming city lords, will take the initiative to provoke some forces to fight hard in order to make profits for fishermen.

Not enough many big families also understand this reason, after all, they can become big in the city, every head of the family is not a fool, there are smart people in the clan, they know how to avoid their own family being used, and avoid large-scale battles, unless this kind of battle is absolutely sure on their side, they will not make a move easily.

In the absence of special circumstances, it will not really give the rival family a hard time, and cheapen the City Lord's Mansion, or cheapen other forces.

It is precisely because of the intricate relationship between the city lord's mansion and the various families and the mutual fear that the city will be in a relatively stable state for a long time.

It is this kind of mutual checks and balances that also allows the warriors living in each city to get a certain amount of security.

Especially for some shops, merchants, and the city lord's mansion will take special care of it, after all, some taxes come from these merchants, and the shops, if they can't ensure the normal operation of these places, it will also affect the city lord's income.

And these merchants, the shops are also very respectful of the City Lord's Mansion, not only because the City Lord's Mansion governs a city, but also because the City Lord's Mansion protects them, so that they can do business and make money with peace of mind.

It is precisely because of the protection of the city lord's mansion that these merchants who have no reliance can do business in the city safely.

At the same time, it also avoids the trouble of some people coming to them, so that they can lose their interests, and can also ensure that they can pay taxes normally, and the two also complement each other.

Although the taxes paid by these merchants are not as good as one-ten-thousandth of those paid by those family forces, these people are honest supporters of the city lord's mansion, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and such merchants also occupy a large share in the city, and together they are also very objective income.

And the current Ning'an City, originally the same, it was only because of the mutual competition between the three forces that the current situation would occur.

There are no pedestrians on the streets, and the shops are closed, and according to common sense, the city lord's mansion has to manage them, after all, this situation is a phenomenon that a city should have.

It's just that now the Mo City Lord of Ning'an City doesn't have time to pay attention to such a thing, and he is also trying to cultivate in order to suppress the two forces, and to completely control Ning'an City in his own hands.

For the sake of resources and survival, the three forces are secretly preparing for war and improving their strength.

And as the side of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord of Mo, if this situation occurs again, it can be completely reflected to the Cloud Heavenly Kingdom, and if there is such a chaos, the Cloud Heavenly Kingdom will naturally send a strong person to come and suppress it.

Disrupting normal life, but it also affects the income of Yun Tianguo, and this situation is naturally managed.

Self-interest always comes first to whom, whether it is a person, a family, or a country.

What's more, Ning'an City is also under the jurisdiction of the Cloud Heaven Kingdom, so if there is a problem, it will naturally be rectified.

It's just that if the Mo City Lord really reports to the above like this, the problems in the city can naturally be solved, but at the same time, it also indirectly shows that the Mo City Lord is not capable, and he will definitely be punished, this is still a trivial matter, and it is even very likely that he will be removed from the position of the city lord.

And this is the last thing that the Mo City Lord wants to see the result, you must know that in order to obtain the position of the City Lord, the Mo City Lord spent a lot of money to get such an errand.

And he was deposed not long after taking office, and the price he spent before will be in vain.

What's more, City Lord Mo doesn't think that he can't even deal with this little matter, as long as the other two forces are eliminated, this Ning'an City is up to himself.

At that time, there is no need to be afraid of this, fear of that, and the city lord of Mo thinks that Ning'an City will inevitably be governed by himself in the future, and he will also be the emperor of the soil here, and his own income does not have to worry.

For various reasons, the City Lord of Mo also reported what happened in Ning'an City.

If you don't encounter anything that can't be solved in particular, there is no city lord who will not move like a report, as a city lord, you naturally have to find a way to solve the problems that occur in your own city, otherwise why do you want to be the city lord.

And the special thing mentioned, the beast tide is one of them, when there is a situation that cannot defend against the attack of the beast tide, it must be reported, and this is not a city matter.

In the jurisdiction of the Cloud Heavenly Kingdom over some remote cities, it is not so strong, and the jurisdiction over them is managed by the city lord himself, and the Cloud Heavenly Kingdom will not interfere with it much.

Especially Ning'an City, even in a small country like Yuntianguo, it is also a remote city, and many times the taxes that can be paid in this kind of small city are too little, and no one wants to come to this kind of place.

It's such a city where few people are willing to come, and if you want to be the lord of the city here, it's not so easy to be, it's just easier than other cities, but it's also extremely free to come here, and generally no one comes here to give orders.

In any case, Ning'an City is still in a relatively calm period, although the atmosphere is very tense, although it gives people the feeling that they can fight at any time, but now it is very safe.

Now Ning'an City is like a calm lake, it looks like it is not prosperous, but there are undercurrents surging underwater, and I don't know when these undercurrents will set off stormy waves.

What will become of this lake in Ning'an City?

······

And in Purple Cloud City, in the palace, in the golden and splendid hall, there is a person with purple and gold boots, wearing a purple and gold robe, a white jade belt around his waist, and a purple and gold crown on his head, exuding a majesty of a superior from his body, which makes people not look directly.

This person is none other than the person in charge of the Purple Cloud Empire, the emperor of the Purple Cloud Empire.

It's just that when this emperor was changing in heaven and earth, there was an inexplicable and wonderful light in his eyes that flashed away.

A weird smile also hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly, "It's also time, I should be ready to do something, and some plans should be started." ”

After saying this, the emperor of the Purple Gold Empire also disappeared into the palace.

And on this day, in the martial arts arena of Ziyun Academy, there was a group of teenagers shouting excitedly around them, with indescribable excitement in their expressions.

And in the center of this group of teenagers, there are three people fighting.

It's just that these three people, one of them is older than the man, about forty years old, and the other two are teenagers of the same age as the teenagers around him.

Seeing this, everyone must be able to guess who these three people are, that's right, which man in his forties is the tutor of Ziyun Academy, and also the mentor of these onlookers around, Tutor Zheng.

And the two people who fought with Tutor Zheng were naturally also his students, and these two people were Shen Tian and Jin Dali.

In the past month, the actual combat ability of Shen Tian and Jin Dali has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And during this month, the two of them will practice with Mentor Zheng every once in a while, which seems to have become a habit.

However, in this regard, these students around them are also very much looking forward to it, because the sparring between Shen Tian and Jin Dali and Tutor Zheng can always make them feel enthusiastic.

At the time of youth, what young person is not full of enthusiasm, and what student does not want to really compete with the instructor.

It's just that I haven't thought about this kind of thought before, after all, the power of the mentor is too strong for them, and it makes them unable to have such an idea.

However, since Shen Tian and Jin Dali fought with Mentor Zheng, it made some militant elements have such an impulse in their hearts, and some students gradually have such thoughts.

It's just that they also know that their strength is not up to the level of fighting with their mentors, but it doesn't prevent them from thinking like this.
