Under the afterglow of the sun, two fast horses galloped quickly on the streets of Jianlong City. Fortunately, due to the war and the evening, there were not many pedestrians on the streets. This allowed Shen Feng, a road killer who had not yet passed the internship period, to arrive safely.

See Dragon City, the City Lord's Mansion

The slanting sun shines through the wooden windows on the west wall, and although it still gives people a stuffy smell, it no longer has the harshness and heat of noon.

Shentu Yuanwu paced back and forth in a hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed like twisted flowers that had just come out of the pot.

In an open space in the hall, a large wooden table was placed, and on top of the wooden table was a very detailed map of the surroundings of Dragon City.

Seeing that some of the think tanks in Dragon City were holding paper and pens, drawing and drawing on the side, they finally shook their heads and sighed. Some people just closed their eyes and recuperated, but from their haggard faces, it was obvious that they had not rested for several days and nights, and they were almost about to exhaust their lives.

"Lord Castle, why don't you continue to ask for help? No matter what, this is a game of death. Song Shuwen frowned, his voice full of hoarseness due to the chapped mouth and the pain in his throat.

"Don't worry about this Mr. Song, I have been sending someone to do it when it comes to asking for help. The problem is that the enemy siege of the city happened so suddenly, and seeing that there were no troops around Dragon City that could be mobilized. So, in this regard, there is not much hope. ”

Seeing Song Shuwen say this, Shentu Yuanwu waved his hand and said.

"It is indeed a game of death, and all we can do now is to defend ourselves and prevent the enemy from breaking through the city gates. I just don't know if General Qiu and General Lin can hold on!" Zhuang Boyu closed his eyes and said with a painful face.

"It's really not possible, just lead the whole army out of the city to meet the enemy and fight them to the death. In that way, even if you die, everyone will die as you deserve. Guan Xinghe frowned and gritted his teeth and said.

"Hey, then, the spirit is there, but there is no way back!" Shentu Yuanwu looked blankly at the bloody remnant sun hanging outside the window, and muttered.

"Report!"

As the voice sounded, I saw a herald rush in from outside. As soon as he entered the threshold, he bowed to Shentu Yuanwu, and Qiu Dahai, the "Fengzi Battalion", brought Lord Shen Feng and Shen to ask for a meeting.

"Shen Feng, hehe, it's finally here!" Shentu Yuanwu smiled, the wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed, he glanced at the think tank that was all looking at him, shook his head and smiled: "This Shen Feng, tsk, that's a holy grace! Hehe, let them in!"

Seeing the herald leave, Shentu Yuanwu smiled at everyone: "Okay, let's change the topic, and take a good look at this character who makes my ears hear the cocoon, what kind of talent is there! Gentlemen, pay attention, this is the first time he has come, a few of you, you should talk more leisurely, other people's families are not right, you are not noses and faces are not looking for trouble, young people, we should encourage more and give more opportunities, only in this way, our Dragon City can get more talents." The old man said something that some people don't like to hear, if they pin their hopes for seeing Dragon City on those family forces that are like rotten trees, hmph! With their greed, sooner or later, the people of Dragon City will be miserable and scattered. ”

"Hehe, although the city lord's words have some hatred for iron and steel, they are a bit radical and serious. No matter how greedy those family forces are, can they see that Longcheng is not his own home? If he really wants to toss the people unspeakably miserable, will they be able to get it? Hahahaha, although some of the hundred-year-old clans have been completely defeated, there are still some people who understand things!" Zhuang Boyu, the old scholar, stroked his long beard and said with a smile.

"No! Mr. Zhuang's students disagreed, over the years, you can see that these families have done good deeds, and when this kind of behavior gradually becomes a habit and character, they will inevitably do more things out of line. What the city lord said, it is indeed necessary to guard against it!" Guan Xinghe directly waved his hand and interjected, expressing his support for Shentu Yuanwu.

"Hahahaha, after so many years, it seems that Mr. Guan still can't let go of his inferiority complex from a poor background. How can you do this? You can't target the big clans in everything and everywhere, right? You know, seeing that the wealth of these big clans in Dragon City is enough to be worth half an empire. Zhuang Boyu said with deep contempt.

"There is something I don't know if you have heard of it, the last time we talked about Shen Feng, it was spread outside the next day, and then the major families and forces sent a large number of people to Shen Mansion to rob the secret recipe. Jiagu also suddenly interjected.

"It's just rumors, don't believe it, Mr. Jiagu is really idle, and he has time to listen to those rumors. From a certain point of view, Long Chengye is half a student of Zhuang Boyu, so no matter what he does, he has always silently supported Mr. Zhuang's point of view. Now seeing that Jiagu also used this excuse to imply that Mr. Zhuang's remarks were problematic, he jumped out directly.

"Hahahaha, all the details of my Jiagu were copied by Mr. Long. However, you can't blame me for this, the lord of the city can testify, because when I went to those masters to apprentice, they didn't accept me. I had nothing to do but wander around and listen to some gossip! If I had Mr. Long's apprenticeship skills, I wouldn't have had time for such a boring thing. No matter what it is, as long as you ask the teacher, who has the leisure time to think?" Seeing that Long Chengye shouted so fiercely, Jia Gu also did not show weakness, and directly smiled with a gun.

"Actually, if Mr. Jiagu really wants to apprentice, Zhuang can make a recommendation!"

"Ouch, Mr. Zhuang, you can spare me, at my age, I can't apprentice or worship the church!"

"Hahahaha, worship the church? Jiagu is the same, although you don't worship the church, but you have entered the cave room a lot of times, right?"

"Hahahaha!

"That's it, why don't I ask the little guy to send you which tiger whip of my family will I send you tomorrow?"

"Jiagu, you didn't mention that I forgot, the home remedies you asked me to find last time, I really found it, wait until I go back in the evening, I will ask the housekeeper to send it to you, but if Mr. Ram really gives you a tiger whip, you can keep it, and you can use it when you go back." ”

Just when a group of people were chatting and farting, Guan Xinghe slowly closed his eyes, he did this for two purposes, the first was to maximize his energy. The second is that they are accustomed to the fact that when others talk about this kind of topic, they directly choose to avoid or remain silent. You can say that he doesn't understand communication or taste, or even unity, but, no matter how you comment, Guan Xinghe is still Guan Xinghe, although his ability is not too great, but he is very serious in doing things, and he doesn't like to talk about this kind of windy, poor-born ascetic or righteous gentleman.

Shentu Yuanwu was still standing at the window, with his back to a group of laughing think tanks, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Such a think tank can really save Jianlong City?" As for whether Jiagu Yiran didn't raise it, whether he really looked for the secret recipe, he didn't know. He only knew that behind Zhuang Boyu, there was also an intricate network of relationships, and Zhuang Boyu benefited from the network, but he was also firmly bound in it.

In addition, as the city lord, he also has his own information channels, so he knows that it is true that His Majesty's will is leaked, it is true that the major families are besieging the Shen Mansion, and it is also true that Shen Feng in turn directly destroyed these families in Jianlong City. This is the key to what he really wants to see Shen Feng and it is best to be able to take it for himself.

After all, the Hundred Years Great Clan had existed for so long that almost many people had forgotten about the existence of the City Lord in Dragon City, long enough to influence any decision made by the City Lord.

"Hmph! I'm biased? I deliberately target the major families? If I don't clean them up, I'm afraid that the position of the city lord of Dragon City will be snatched away by them! The influence of the big clan in other places has nothing to do with me, but now that I, Shentu Yuanwu, am about to become a puppet in their hands, how can I tolerate this? Hmph, let's toss! When the war is over, I will slowly clean you up. Zhuang Boyu, Zhuang Boyu, you are also a late festival!"

At this time, Shentu Yuanwu's face, under the last ray of sunlight, looked extremely gloomy and hideous. However, when he turned around, he still looked smiling, and quipped: "Hehe, Mr. Jiagu, are they all true? Hahahaha, it seems that you can't take off the good name of this old man!"

For everyone's teasing, Jiagu was not angry, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Well, it's just an old hobby, just like Mr. Zhuang's love of reading, it's all harmless." It's nothing!"

"Come on, Mr. Jiagu, don't put gold on your face, you compare your behavior with Mr. Zhuang's study? Do you forget who was blocked into the house by her husband last month and beaten all the time? And just after the New Year, who was in a hurry to climb over the wall, and almost broke his bones? This kind of thing, whether it's an interest or a hobby, you said that you don't go to see so many green buildings in Longcheng, why do you go to the streets and alleys to hook up with other people's big girls and little daughters-in-law whenever you have time? This is not a glorious thing, so don't use this to tarnish Mr. Zhuang's reputation. Long Chengye saw that Jiagu was still pulling Mr. Zhuang together, so he said unceremoniously.

"Oh? Mr. Long knows so much about my affairs? Could it be that you have been secretly worshipping me? Didn't you say that you are a student of Mr. Zhuang? Why did you suddenly have the idea of changing your court? Let me tell you, this is not good, Mr. Zhuang is so good to you, how can you just leave? This will not only damage your own reputation, but also affect my friendship with Mr. Zhuang. Therefore, you are still a student of Mr. Zhuang in a down-to-earth manner, and striving to get ahead as soon as possible is the right way. Although Jia Gu Yiran did not say it explicitly, everyone present heard his dissatisfaction.

It's just that I don't know if Jiagu is intentional or unintentional, in short, after he finished speaking, everyone sighed in their hearts, "Zhuang Boyu is secretly investigating the details of everyone?
