The entanglement of the county lord made other young talents in the city full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but Zhong Chao only had deep helplessness.

Her invitation to live in her mansion was even more ruthlessly rejected by Zhong Chao.

It's just that, even so, she still followed Zhong Chao all the way to the house that Cang Youqing found, and she didn't want to leave.

Just as Zhong Chao frowned, a message came in, interrupting his drive.

"Your Royal Highness the County Lord, the ranking of the Fucheng Tianjiao list has been released, Zhong Gongzi has been ranked third this time, and the list will be released tomorrow."

Zhong Chao frowned at this, and Yun Xuanxuan was even more dissatisfied: "How is it the third, Zhong Gongzi shouted just now that no one responded for a long time, this kind of lonely defeat should be ranked first." ”

"Ahem, Your Royal Highness the County Lord, the people in the Tiance Building said that Zhong Chaogongzi performed well this time, and most of the reason was that he had an epiphany, and his overall strength was not so high. At the same time, the adults of Tiance Building also said that when Zhong Chao Gongzi invited him to fight, Xiao Wusheng and Yunmeng Shaojun did not come, and if the two came, even if Zhong Gongzi had an epiphany, he would fight him. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, many adults in Tiance Building think that Zhong Chao's son can only become the third ...... Also, Xiao Wusheng and they are really not in Fucheng. ”

The first and second martial artists on the Tianjiao list are not there, this is still the pot of Tiance Building, if they didn't underestimate Zhong Chao's ranking too much, Xiao Wusheng and Yunmeng Shaojun would not have gone out, but waited in the city.

At the same time, it is reasonable to reduce the blessing of the afterglow of epiphany and rank Zhong Chao in third.

It's just that Yun Xuanxuan is not satisfied with this ranking, and so is Zhong Chao.

"Hmph, what this reason and that reason are all excuses, Brother Zhong made the whole city dare not fight, he should be the first, and the others are not convinced, let them challenge themselves."

After speaking, she got up and prepared to use her identity to put pressure on Tiance Tower.

But before she could leave, a voice rang out in the room.

"It's useless, they won't listen to you."

Cang Youqing, who spoke, and her rebuke made Yun Xuanxuan, who was a little jealous and dissatisfied with her, angry.

"I'm the county lord."

"I didn't see that you weren't...... But you are not the only county lord, let alone the prince, and even the prince cannot change the decision of Tiance Tower at will. ”

“……”

These words choked Yun Xuanxuan a little speechless.

Zhong Chao was also curious: "What do you say?" ”

"Brother Zhong also wants to know, yes."

For Zhong Chao, who has always maintained himself, Cang Youqing has a very good attitude.

"That's right, the power of Wuzhou is divided into three parts, one is an official sent by the imperial court, one is a local wealthy family, and one is the Yunlong Palace."

"Of the three, the imperial court is the most distant, and the foundation in Wuzhou is the weakest, but they occupy the righteousness."

"The Yunlong Palace's Mansion is slightly better than the imperial court, but that's it."

"The largest force in Wuzhou is the local gate valve family......"

Cang Youqing really understands a lot, from her words, Zhong Chao also knows that the Yunlong Mansion was originally a branch of the Dayu royal family, and he was afraid that the wealthy families in Wuzhou would become bigger, so the royal family deliberately buried a nail here.

According to the normal situation, it should be that the Yunlong Palace's mansion and the officials sent by the imperial court should unite with each other to compete with the local gate lords.

It's just that this is the idea of the first emperor, and with the passage of time, slowly, the royal family in Zhongzhou is more afraid of these royal families than the gate valve.

After all, it is difficult for the gate valve family to rebel, and even if it succeeds, other gate valve families will not agree.

The royal family is different, they have the same surname and the same origin, and the difficulty of rebellion is several times lower.

As a result, gradually, the royal family guarded the royal palace and weakened their rights.

And the local wealthy families don't like people to share their own interests.

This also makes the current palace unpleasant, although their status in Wuzhou is still noble, but they can't manage Tiance Tower at all.

And the prince can't move, and Yun Xuanxuan, who is still the county lord, can't do it.

"Hmm!

！ ”

This kind of statement that was exposed made Yun Xuanxuan's face very ugly, which also made her sense of Cang Youqing even worse.

"I can't do it, but after all, I'm working hard for Brother Zhong, unlike you, I will only block it."

"Hmph, who said that I was going to stop it, I would help Brother Zhong become the first, and besides, I am eighty percent sure that I can succeed, can you!"

Of course, Yun Xuanxuan can't do it, but she doesn't think Cang Youqing can do it:

"Who wouldn't talk big...... I can't succeed if I'm the county lord, why are you eighty percent sure. ”

"I'm smarter than you!"

"You...... Then let's bet on it, if you don't succeed......"

"If it doesn't work, it's not a big deal, it's just a few days at most."

The last sentence was said by Zhong Chao, who stopped the quarrel between the two...... The main thing is to favor Xiaoqing, he doesn't think that Cang Youqing can convince Tiancelou, he is afraid that she will suffer a loss in the bet, so Zhong Chao stood up.

This kind of careful thinking, the smart Cang Youqing naturally noticed it, and because of this, she laughed.

"Brother Zhong doesn't believe that I can succeed either."

"No...... In my eyes, you are the smartest, if you are a man, you will definitely be able to enter the cabinet and become a leader. ”

"Hehe, it's too pompous, the concubine is just a little clever."

After laughing, she told her plan.

"Brother Zhong, I'm not joking, I'm really sure that you will be the first...... Wait for the concubine to go to Tiance Tower, tell the administrator there, and say that if you don't list Brother Zhong as the first on the list tomorrow, after that, you will release the news and don't want to be included in the Wuzhou Tianjiao list. ”

“？！

”

As soon as Cang Youqing's words were said, Zhong Chao was confused and didn't understand the meaning of this, but soon, he thought of something.

"I see...... If I become the undisputed number one, and my name is not on the Wuzhou Tianjiao list, then the prestige of the entire list will dissipate most of it. ”

The recognized number one is reluctant to make the list, and after learning the news, what will others think of this list?

Of course, there are many cats, and this list is not credible.

If it really ends up in this situation, the Tianjiao list sent by Tiance Lou will be completely useless, and at that time, Tiance Lou will get into a big trouble.

They don't want to fall into such a situation, they can only rank Zhong Chao first.

Thinking of this, Zhong Chao looked at Cang Youqing's gaze and sighed.

"That's a good idea, you really deserve to be my female Zhuge ."

"Female Zhuge ?"

"It's okay, don't worry about that."

Zhong Chao was sighing, and Yun Xuanxuan next to him also widened her eyes, and she had a feeling of getting to know Cang Youqing again.

It's just that the sighs of the two don't care too much.

After saying her plan, she didn't stop talking, but continued to smile: "Brother Zhong, the threat that you won't be on the list is more than that...... It also implies that you are going to go to another state capital, which they cannot afford. ”

“？？？ Why? ”

"I know, I know."

It was Yun Xuanxuan who was in a hurry, and after glancing at Cang Youqing, she quickly told Zhong Chao the news she knew.

"It's to compete with other state capitals!"

"Luck?"

Seeing that Zhong Chao was still puzzled, Yun Xuanxuan and Cang Youqing said a word to Zhong Chao from the beginning.

"In normal times, there is competition between state capitals, and they try to keep talent locally. But at that time, the competition was not fierce, and the overall flow of talents was to Zhongzhou, but now, the situation is different, and the competition for talents is a life-and-death event. ”

"I've heard my father say this, the black fog is coming, disasters are frequent, and the gate valve families in the major state capitals will desperately enhance their strength. And the first battle they fought for was the battle for luck. ”

"The Tianjiao list is not only in Wuzhou, but also in other state capitals, and in the end, Zhongzhou will have a general list. This list is extremely important for state capitals. ”

Yun Xuanxuan: "That state capital occupies the most position on the overall list, and heaven and earth will bless that area, so that the state capital will not only have more opportunities, but also have a smaller probability of a black fog crisis......

Between the two of them, Zhong Chao understood that the people on the list were very important to the state capital, and as long as those gate valve families were not brainless, they would not push Tianjiao out.

Once this is done, there are too few warriors who end up on the overall list, and it is they who pit themselves.

And because this world is ancient, the foundation of each gate valve world is on the local mines, spiritual veins, various resources, and spiritual fields, which makes them unable to run if they want to.

People leave their hometowns, leave their basic plates, and go to other places, ordinary people are fine, as long as they find someone to stutter, they can live, but the status of these family lords needs countless offerings.

Without the mine and Lingtian, their family background is downgraded to be considered lucky.

If they are unlucky, or if they meet a ruthless person, their family may be removed from the list.

Every time after the Black Mist Crisis, there will be many families that will completely decline.

Therefore, in order to save themselves, they not only will not push away the genius of their own state capital, but will also desperately keep it.

Knowing this, Zhong Chao also knew that Cang Youqing's double threat was real and effective.

It's just that there is a big premise for such a threat.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhong Chao and asked cautiously.

"Brother Zhong, are you confident that you will win the first place?"

Yes, first, in this world where the power belongs to the individual and the strong can fight hundreds, only the first not to be on the list can give a heavy blow to the Tianjiao list and make the prestige of the list lose completely.

Only by leaving the state capital for the first time can those families feel painful.

If Zhong Chao didn't have the strength to win the first place, the threat he made would become a joke.

Thinking about this, Zhong Chao didn't feel pressured, but laughed.

"First faith...... I naturally have. ”

"Under the Grandmaster, no one can defeat me."

When he said this, Zhong Chao was extremely confident.

While speaking, Zhong Chao also looked at himself, the most important thing was to pay attention to his second heart (the ruins of the North Underworld), in the space of the second heart that was expanded by the empty Stygian stone, there was a metal, which was shining and reflecting.

The metal is not big, but the color is extremely precious, and just by induction, there is an illusion that it will not be immortal after thousands of eons.

The name of this metal is - Celestial Light Gilt!
