The thirteen mansions of Chuzhou, the largest mansion is naturally located in the center of Chuzhou, covering an area of not the widest, but it is the richest Vermilion Bird Mansion in Chuzhou, the Vermilion Bird Mansion is named after the mythical beast Vermilion Bird, naturally because the land of the Vermilion Bird Mansion is outstanding people, and the most abundant is the fire plane tree, the plane tree is known as the phoenix tree, and the Vermilion Bird is just another name for the phoenix, and the phoenix is full of treasures, which is not bad.

In addition to the abundant precious fire plane wood, there are also flame gems produced in the sedimentary river under the Vermilion Bird Mountain, and this flame gem is undoubtedly priceless, whether it is made into jewelry to wear, or used as a spirit soldier to build, it is an extremely precious material, of course, in addition to these, the land of the Vermilion Bird Mansion is also fertile as oil, and the production is one percent higher than that of other places in Chuzhou, and the most important thing is that there are few natural disasters in the Vermilion Bird Mansion, and it is a little difficult for this kind of place not to prosper.

Chuzhou is adjacent to the wild rainforest in the south, and in this land of 100,000 mountains and rivers, there are countless southern barbarian tribes, and the southern barbarians are like the northern Hu perennial raids on the frontier, but compared with the 100,000 cavalry of the Northern Hu Dynasty, or even hundreds of thousands, compared with the scale of millions, the southern wild rainforest border, the largest raid is only so three or five thousand people, and most of the time, it is the kind of tribal form of raiding, and the number of people is sometimes dozens or hundreds.

But don't look at the scale of this kind of raid is not large, but it is better than the number of times, in a whole year, there are only a handful of people who have not been harassed, if you calculate, the Nanban killed in this southern Xinjiang every year, and the soldiers killed by the Nanban are not inferior to the northern Xinjiang, but compared with the huge number of deaths in the northern Xinjiang, the number of deaths in the southern Xinjiang is a little cumulative.

Because of the threat of the Southern Barbarians, the Tianlong Empire has established three major legions in each of the three southern states, and the most elite of the three major legions in Chuzhou is undoubtedly the Vermilion Bird Legion, the establishment of the Vermilion Bird Legion is also 100,000, and the commander of the legion is Chen Nan, one of the nine marquis of Zhennan.

Chen Nan and Nan Longyun are both former classmates of His Majesty today, and they are also the most loyal supporters of His Majesty the Emperor today, but compared with Nan Longyun, Chen Nan has been in the army for more than ten years, and the southern frontier of the empire has always been the strongest place for the nobles of the empire, so it is also meaningful for Chen Nan, the emperor's most trusted courtier, to be appointed as the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion.

Although Chen Nan is the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, after all, he belongs to an outsider, and the source of the Vermilion Bird Legion is from Chuzhou, and Chuzhou has a deep-rooted local nobles, each of these nobles has a good private army, and the three major legions under the empire are also controlled by these nobles in the perennial erosion.

Although Chen Nan is the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion, there is only one and a half divisions that can really be controlled, and the remaining three and a half are controlled by the wealthy nobles of Chuzhou, and the most representative of the wealthy nobles of Chuzhou is the Huang, Gong, Shi, and Pang four families, of which the Huang family is also a marquis, but it is not a feudal marquis of this dynasty, but a hereditary marquis before the two dynasties, the Huang family of the Marquis of Jingnan, the Huang family of the three generations of Houmen is deeply rooted in Chuzhou, and it is the leader of the nobles in Chuzhou.

The surname Gong is a wealthy family, not expensive but expensive, the Gong and Huang families are three generations of in-laws, and the old lady of the Huang family is the daughter of the Gong family, so the Gong family has always looked forward to the Huang family, the Shi family, the Pang family is also a noble and a noble, and also has an in-law relationship with the Huang family, but the Shi family and the Pang family have more marriages, and the marriage with the Huang family is more because of the need for interests.

But in any case, the Zhuque Mansion in Chuzhou is the master of these four families, the Huang family has soldiers, and the other three have also held military power through the Huang family over the years, and there are many children in the clan, and the Huang family is still dominating the position of the city lord of the Vermilion Bird City, if it is not for the Vermilion Bird City or the Chuzhou Governance Office, the Huang family may be able to cover the sky with one hand.

Gong Jie is the leader of the Gong family's generation, his father is the contemporary head of the family, and if there are not too many accidents, Gong Jie will inherit his father's position and become the head of the next generation, Gong Jie is not only smooth on the psychic road, but also quite experienced in dealing with people, and his father's intentional cultivation has allowed him to begin to contact some family affairs, laying the foundation for him to succeed him, and Gong Jie has always done well, so he also knows more secrets in the family.

"Master, the letterhead that the eldest young master asked people to send back quickly, it seems that there is something urgent!" "Gong Zheng is the patrol of Vermilion Bird City, assisting the city lord to take care of the government affairs of a government, this position is important and important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, because the establishment of the patrol government actually has the intention of dividing the power of the city lord, but the city lord of Vermilion Bird City is the Huang family, although the position of Gong Zheng is important, but it does not play a too important role, so Gong Zheng is very idle every day, and when the housekeeper walks in at this moment, Gong Zheng is showing affection.

Gong Zheng frowned slightly, obviously he was disturbed and was not in a very good mood to paint, but he knew that this housekeeper would not come in in a hurry if he had something important, Gong Zheng took the letterhead, opened it, looked at it, looked at it at a glance, and read the letter in a moment, after Gong Zheng finished reading the letter, he sat on the chair instead, and groaned, and said for a long time: "Gong Fu, a few people over there in Nanquan Village are still idle!"

"Back to the master, since the last time, it has been placed over there, but the master wants to use it!"

"Well, you go and pass on a message in person, I want a person's surname, pay 1,000 in advance, and pay 2,000 after the deed, but you must be quick, it is best to deal with it quietly!"

"I don't know who the master said?"

"The little rabbit cub of the Leng family, Leng Zhuo!" Gong Zheng knocked on the table and said lightly.

"Earl Ghost Boy, isn't he in the Imperial Capital?"

"Don't ask so much, just go and get them ready, and if the target comes up, I'll give them a message!"

"Got it, sir!"

The housekeeper turned to leave, but Gong Zheng stood up, picked up the brush again, dipped it in some ink, and quickly flew on the scroll, which was a rosefinch lying on the plane tree, but at this moment the rosefinch was cold in his eyes, his wings were about to fly, and bursts of murderous aura came from the scroll.

Huang, Gong, Shi, and Pang are the representatives of the local forces in Chuzhou, and Chen Nan and Nan Longyun are naturally the nails planted by the royal family in Chuzhou, and the two are destined to compete for interests and rights.

Leng Invincible and Nan Longyun are very close, and Leng Invincible dared to openly give the Huang family not to come to the stage, and refused the Huang family's solicitation, this is the hatred, although Leng Invincible has been much more low-key for so many years, but these years he has been quite close to Nan Longyun, if Leng Invincible is just a nameless, it doesn't matter, the key is that Leng Invincible has a lot of appeal, which can not be prevented.

Leng Invincible is a smelly and hard stone, the kind that is soft and hard and does not eat, but it offends countless people, in the past, there was a Guogong behind the town, although everyone also did something, but no one dared to do it blatantly, at most, it was the fan fire blowing on the side, but it was the group of people in Dijing who really wanted the Leng family to die, but the current situation is different, maybe the general nobles, local big families don't know, but people like them in high positions naturally know what happened in Dijing.

Leng Wushu fell out with the Wei family, the Leng family kid actually dared to put the Wei family's pigeon at the engagement ceremony, I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, the old man of the Leng family is like this, and the Leng family kid is the same, this is the self-inflicted abuse that can't live, the thorn of the Leng family is also time to pull out, get rid of the Leng family kid, the old one can't last two years, when the Leng family is cut off from their grandchildren, what kind of summoning power, the impact will all be dissipated with the death of the person, and the Nanxing Mansion will not be at their disposal at that time.

Leng Zhuo didn't know that someone had already opened a big net in front of him and was waiting for him as a big fish, and because of his escape from marriage, the chain reaction caused by the Leng family was already standing on the cusp of the stormy waves, Leng Invincible's assassination was just a small outbreak, and more conspiracies, assassinations would follow, and Leng Zhuo didn't show up, but once he appeared, as the only descendant of the Leng family, he was destined to be involved in this constant scissors and messy right and wrong.

Through Xiaoxiang Mansion, it is the middle belly of Chuzhou, Zhuque Mansion, it is also the seat of the state administration, the territory of Zhuque Mansion is dominated by plains, the only high mountain is the Wutong Mountains, the Wutong River originating from the Wutong Mountains passes through the Zhuque City, all the way to the north, and another river confluence forms another important tributary of the Tianhe, Wanjiang River, Wanjiang River passes through Chuzhou, flows into the northwest lake of Yangzhou, West Lake, this river, is also a very important waterway channel.

"According to what the shopkeeper said, if you go all the way down this pipeline, you can reach the largest city in Suzaku Mansion, Suzaku City, go south through Suzaku Mansion, and pass Dawan Mansion is Nanxing Mansion, and finally arrive home!" Leng Zhuo said and stretched, but his expression was a little excited, after all, there was his home in this world, although he didn't have much impression of that home.
