Tielin City is considered a large city, and the Chu family is the only large family in Tielin City, and they are in an unshakable overlord position in Tielin City. Although in recent years, the bandits in Tielin City have been rampant, causing Tielin City to gradually decline, and the Chu family has also been affected, and gradually faded out of the stage of the Hongling Empire, but the foundation of the Chu family is there, and the large family is not so simple to say, even the Black Knife Village does not dare to ignore the Chu family, otherwise the Black Knife Village will not give in to the matter of Chu Keke, which shows that the Chu family still has some deterrent power against the Black Knife Village.

When twilight gradually fell on Tielin City, the entire Tielin City became unusually quiet, and there was no anger that a large city should have, of course, all of this was affected by the Black Knife Village. In the past, Tielin City was very lively even at night, but since the appearance of the Black Knife Village, this grand occasion no longer exists. People only vaguely remember the previous situation of Tielin City, and now there are only hard days in Tielin City, who will reminisce

Today, the Chu family was originally very lively, because the problem that plagued the Chu family was finally solved, that is, the matter of the godson of the big boss of the Black Knife Village wanted to go to the second lady, and today a very powerful person came to help the Chu family solve the problem of the Black Knife Village.

After defeating Chu Keke, Ling Xi took Luo Ji to the Chu family. The Chu family is quite friendly, and they arranged good accommodations for Ling Xi and Luo Ji respectively, and there are people who serve them specially, and the treatment can be said to be quite high.

After hearing that Ling Xi easily defeated Chu Keke, many young people in the Chu family wanted to see Ling Xi. At the beginning, Ling Xi's residence was full of people from the Chu family, all wanting to see the true face of Ling Xi's Lushan. Thinking that nothing could go wrong, Ling Xi stayed at his residence honestly and ignored the noise outside the door. In the end, it was Chu Tiannan who spoke, and the talents of the Chu family dispersed.

After the people of the Chu family left, Ling Xi felt quieter.

When the moon rose in mid-air, Ling Xi looked up, and he knew that Chu Tiannan was going to send someone to invite him to talk at this time.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before there was a knock on the door outside, and someone said outside:

"Brother Shiyu, excuse me, our family master asks you to come over. ”

Really.

Ling Xi smiled and followed the people waiting outside the door. Ling Xi knew very well that Chu Tiannan was talking to him for nothing more than Chu Keke's affairs, although the Chu family was under the banner of recruiting relatives through martial arts competitions, it was impossible for the Chu family to marry Chu Keke until the last resort. If he doesn't marry Chu Keke, the Chu family will definitely come up with generous conditions, and Chu Tiannan should have wanted to negotiate terms with him when he asked him to go over. He doesn't have any conditions, the Chu family is not really recruiting relatives, but it is good news for him, he doesn't want to have an unreasonable relationship with other girls, he can also take this opportunity to inquire about the matter of the Black Knife Village.

On the other side, there is a side hall of the Chu family, Chu Tiannan and Chu Keke are both inside, and the other two are Chu Keke's sister and younger brother, that is, Chu Yao, the third lady of the Chu family, and Chu Xinghe, the son of the Chu family, the former is about the same age as Ling Xi, and the latter is younger, only twelve years old.

Chu Tiannan was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on the paper, but there was a portrait on one piece of paper, which was exactly what Ling Xi looked like.

After a long time, Chu Tiannan put down the paper in his hand, looked at the three people in the side hall, and said:

"Do you know this Ling Xi?,"

Chu Xinghe hurriedly raised his hand and said:

"I know, I know, this Ling Xi is known as the fifth hero of the Hongling Empire, and the original four heroes are neck and neck, after the battle of the gods in Shenzhou, his position is even higher, and the world is rumored that he can compete with the prince in the future, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"This Ling Xi is indeed powerful, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is looking for him all over the world, and I don't know where he is. ”

Chu Yao followed.

A hint of brilliance flashed in Chu Keke's beautiful eyes, and he said in a low voice:

"Grandpa, do you suspect that Shi Yu is Ling Xi?"

Chu Keke said this, Chu Yao and Chu Xinghe both looked at her in surprise, Chu Yao shook his head and said:

"Impossible, Tielin City is so far away from the Divine Continent, Ling Xi can come here from the Divine Continent in such a short time?"

Chu Xinghe also shook his head and said:

"I also think it's impossible, although this Shi Yu is powerful, it is far less than Ling Xi, you must know that Ling Xi has single-handedly overturned two half-step Hantian seals and a half-step Xiao Fanzun, not to mention the destruction of many creation seals of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce in the back, these alone are beyond the reach of Shi Yu. ”

"It's really impossible, but I just have a feeling that this Shiyu is not simple. ”

Chu Tiannan said in a deep voice.

Chu Keke saw the trace of worry between Chu Tiannan's eyebrows, she knew what Chu Tiannan was worried about, and said:

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry, when Shi Yu comes to you, besides, what is Shi Yu's origin and what does it have to do with us, the relationship between our Chu family and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce is so tense, even if Shi Yu is Ling Xi, our Chu family can't care about it, that's something that the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce should worry about, our Chu family can just pretend not to know." ”

Chu Tiannan nodded, the trace of worry between his eyebrows completely disappeared, and he said:

"Keke is right, even if Shi Yu is Ling Xi, it has nothing to do with our Chu family, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce has no reason to blame our Chu family. ”

Knock knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the hall, and a voice came, saying:

"Old master, I brought Shi Yu here. ”

The four grandchildren in the hall glanced at each other, and Chu Tiannan then said:

"Let him in. ”

The highest center of power in a city is undoubtedly the city lord's mansion, except for those special cities, most cities have their own power center city lord's mansion. Of course, there are also some cities that do not have a city lord's mansion, such as Yancheng, where Ling Xi went, and Yancheng does not have a city lord's mansion.

Tielin City also has the City Lord's Mansion, but the City Lord's Mansion of Tielin City is not the center of power, and the word power and the City Lord's Mansion of Tielin City are so pale and powerless together. Because of the raging bandits, the city lord's mansion of Tielin City was not well governed, which led to the development of bandits to the point where it is today, and the status of the city lord's mansion has also fallen again and again, becoming a dispensable existence, most people have ignored the existence of the city lord's mansion, and the city lord's mansion has also taken advantage of the situation to become invisible in Tielin City.

In the City Lord's Mansion, there is a person sitting in the lonely hall, and he is Xiao Chengfeng, the city lord of Tielin City.

Xiao Chengfeng looked at the lonely city lord's hall, and a trace of unwillingness and guilt flashed in his eyes,

"Alas!"

After a long time, Xiao Chengfeng sighed, and his helpless sigh immediately spread in the City Lord's Hall. In the huge Iron Forest City, no matter who accused him of being incompetent, it was his inaction that made the Black Knife Village grow into what it is today. The whole city is full of voices accusing him, but who can understand his difficulties, he can neither deal with nor report the Black Knife Village.

I don't know how long later, a man walked in the dim and lonely hall, and saw the man kneeling on one knee and saying:

"City Lord, there is a letter from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, do you want to read it?"

Xiao Chengfeng glanced up at the man, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said:

"Don't look. ”

The man in front of the hall hesitated for a moment and said:

"However, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce said that it is a very urgent matter, if you don't look at it, the villain is afraid ······"

"What? Isn't that clear enough?"

Xiao Chengfeng said lightly, and even his tone changed.

"Got it, the villain quits. ”

The person in front of the hall also knew what Xiao Chengfeng's attitude was towards the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, so he hurriedly said, and withdrew from the hall after speaking.

After the man withdrew, Xiao Chengfeng's face softened, he knew very well what the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was looking for him, most likely for Ling Xi, who had been spreading so much recently. He had heard a little about Ling Xi's affairs, but he didn't care about these things anymore, and he wouldn't help the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce arrest Ling Xi, because the Black Knife Village could develop into what it is today, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce couldn't get out of it.
