Zhang Rang had just brought his people to the four western counties, and found that this place was much, much worse than the situation in the information he had obtained before.

At the beginning, the information I got was only that most of the Jianghu forces in these four counties were fighting each other, and they rarely talked about the morality of the rivers and lakes with each other.

And the imperial court didn't care much about this place.

Therefore, the officials in these four counties are basically the emperors themselves.

And the generals in the army either hooked up with the magistrates, or they chose a good place by themselves, saying that they were the army, but in fact it was basically the same as establishing themselves as kings.

Fortunately, this time Zhang Rang came to the four western counties, and Prime Minister Cao also knew that Zhang Rang would inevitably encounter many problems.

So some capable generals were sent to come, among them, there was a person that Zhang Rang had paid attention to a long time ago - Cheng Kuang.

At the beginning, Cheng Kuang was still a small school captain, and when Zhang Rang took people to destroy the Yan family, he saw each other.

At the beginning, Zhang Rang felt that this person's momentum was different from others.

And now Cheng Kuang, who is just in his early thirties, has reached the eightfold cultivation of the Sigang Realm.

I have to admit that there is still time to cultivate in the military, and there is indeed merit in reaching such a level of strength.

Therefore, Zhang Rang deliberately brought Cheng Kuang this time.

After all, he still has an army to manage in Bingzhou, and those people were handed over to Xia Yun Guo Sheng, and the current four western counties are their own fiefdoms, how can they not have their own people in this place.

Even Zhang Rang, for the convenience of doing things, transferred Cao Zi Crying from Bingzhou.

As a result, Zhang Rang went to the four western counties and chose his mansion in Wu County.

But the officials of Wu County did not come to greet him, and no one from the generals of Wu County came to greet him.

The only one who came to greet him turned out to be a part of the Jianghu forces in Wujun.

After all, Zhang Rang's reputation in the rivers and lakes, these people know that they want their lives to be better in the future, and finally come to meet this feudal official, and then be polite.

Zhang Rang never expected that he originally thought that it would be those officials who would come to greet him.

But as a result, the people who came turned out to be all from the rivers and lakes.

Moreover, Zhang Rang learned that these people in the rivers and lakes do not represent all the forces in the rivers and lakes in the entire Wujun.

Because Wujun is close to Xishu, most of the Jianghu forces here have frequent exchanges and even transactions with Xishu.

This is also the reason why some Jianghu forces did not send people to greet Zhang Rang.

Many people are afraid of Zhang Rang, but they are not afraid, the big deal is not to stay in Wujun, they go to Xishu, and they have the same food.

Moreover, Zhang Rang wanted to gain a foothold in Wujun, and with such barren cultivation resources in Wujun, he could not satisfy Zhang Rang and Zhang Rang's subordinates, so even if it was Zhang Rang, he had to do business secretly with Xishu, exchange ideas, and buy and sell some things.

It can be said that in other places, it is Zhang Rang who has the final say.

But in Wujun, it's really hard to say.

Moreover, since these forces in the rivers and lakes are secretly doing some shady business, they naturally have officials or the army behind them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to do those businesses.

They also knew that these officials and generals in the army were not satisfied with the sudden arrival of a person above their heads, so everyone ignored Zhang Rang.

It was estimated that it would not take long for Zhang Rang to feel bored, so he left Wujun and moved the mansion to a place in the other three counties.

The four counties in the west are all a little disobedient, but this kind of problem, Wujun is the most serious.

They felt that even if Zhang Rang wanted to deal with them, he would not attack Wujun first.

But they would never have thought that Tong Tianguan was in Wujun.

Therefore, Zhang Rang set his mansion in Wujun, and the place Zhang Rang chose was the largest city in Wujun County, which was less than a hundred miles away from the customs clearance day, Tianwu City.

Zhang Rang led his subordinates to Tianwu City.

In addition to Zhao Zhong and the two hundred members of the Chaos Division under Zhao Zhong, who accompanied him were the five hundred people of the Blood God Division brought by Duan Qi and Duan Qi.

There are more than 200 people, all of whom are Cheng Kuang and Cao Ziwai, who will be appointed to important positions in the future, as well as their subordinates.

But when Zhang Rang never expected it, when he arrived at the gate of Tianwu City, he didn't see the city lord of Tianwu City.

Zhang Rang looked at the east gate of Tianwu City and smiled coldly, "The face of the city lord of Tianwu City is so big! I, Zhang Rangdu, have already walked outside the gate of Tianwu City, and I haven't seen anyone else." ”

Hearing Zhang Rang's words, Zhao Zhong and Duan Qi knew that the city owner of Tianwu City was unlucky.

What everyone never expected was that just as they were about to enter the city, the soldiers at the city gate actually stopped Zhang Rang and others.

"What kind of person, those who enter Tianwu City with weapons must have a military order from the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise, they can only detain their weapons at the city gate. Take it away when you leave!"

The soldiers at the gate of the city stopped Zhang Rang and the others, which already made everyone a little unhappy.

As a result, you have to leave your weapons here, which is basically an insult to you for the Jianghu people.

Zhang Rang smiled faintly and asked the soldiers at the city gate, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, and I don't need to know who you are. But you need to know that this is Tianwu City, and when you arrive at Tianwu City, you must abide by the rules of Tianwu City. ”

Zhang Rang kept a smile on his face, "I am the Emperor canonized the Duke of Qingguo, and from now on, Wujun Tianwu City will become my mansion." From this moment on, in Tianwu City, the words of the city lord do not count, only if my Qingguo Gongzhang lets him speak, it will count. Do you understand?"

The soldier shook his head, "I'm sorry, we only obey orders with the city lord, the city lord has orders, and all those who enter the city will ...... without a military order."

Poof-

Before the soldier's words were finished, Duan Jue slashed out with a knife and directly split the soldier in two.

Duan Jue took a few steps forward, looking at the other soldiers at the city gate who were a little angry and a little shocked.

"My lord said that from now on, Tianwu City can only be counted if he speaks, and the city lord's words don't count! Don't you understand? If you don't understand, I'll teach you well!"

Duan Qi said, gently stroking the big knife in his hand.

At this moment, the city gate was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone knows that if you stand up and collide with Zhang Rang at this time, the result will be exactly the same as the person who was cut into two pieces just now.

Zhang Rang glanced at the people at the city gate, "It's a good thing to check weapons, but you don't need so many people." Go to a few people to report to the various yamen in the city, and say that from now on, Tianwu City and Qingguo Gong have the final say. ”

As soon as Zhang Rang's words fell, he heard a voice in the city.

"Qingguo Gong has such a big face, as soon as he arrived in Tianwu City, he was going to depose me, the city lord who had worked hard for the imperial court for twenty years?"

Listening to this voice, Zhang Rang could tell that the other party was just a sevenfold of the Sigang Realm.

"Duan Jue, the city lord of Tianwu City is already reluctant to come out to greet him, that is, he doesn't want to see me, since he doesn't want to see me, then when he is alive, don't come to see me. ”

"Yes. Duan Jue arched his hand towards Zhang Rang, jumped to the top of Tianwu City, and smiled at the city lord of Tianwu City who was rushing over, "It's a pity, from now on, there will be no more city lords in Tianwu City." ”
