After they finished reporting, Tong Meng also got up and saluted back: "Fellow sect friends, Tong is polite, wait for the end of this competition." The city lord's mansion will open the door of the mansion in a few days, and a little wine will be prepared to welcome all Taoist friends to come and gather. ”

As the lord of the city, he is first the chief administrator, and then he is a warrior. Only by ensuring that there is no chaos in the localities can we have a political future. Pull a gang to suppress a gang of this kind of means, he is very skillful, and his posture is very sufficient, and he will not be so stupid as to be arrogant and rude, and offend all the sects.

The heads of the families watched Tong Meng's performance in their attics, watching coldly, with disdain in their hearts.

In particular, although the five major families are not weaker than the sect, they have always been at odds with the city lord. Fortunately, the five major families have deep grievances and will not be together, so that the city lord has the opportunity to win over the small and medium-sized families to suppress the big families. The people of the five major families looked up with their arms crossed, scoffing, thinking about how embarrassed this Tong Meng was when he first came.

When the country was founded, all the ministers of the dragon were rewarded with high-ranking officials. or stay in the capital and occupy a high position, or become a feudal official, most of them shade their descendants, and they also live in temples. Tong Meng's ancestor was also the founder of the country, and he was also the successor of the lineage. However, one wrong step is wrong, and you are restricted everywhere.

When the current emperor was still the crown prince, Tong Meng got too close to one of the princes, although he did not intend to do wrong. But it also led to the fact that he is not treated by the royal family now, so he was sent to this lonely city in Wuzhou, and he was not given a single soldier.

Although he is the lord of a city, this place is remote, which is tantamount to exile, and no one wants to come to those high-ranking officials. The former lord of the city, somehow hung the seal and left for many years. The local tycoons have long since taken care of their unfettered lives, and where are they willing to be restrained by others. coincidentally chose to set him up, wanting him to be a city lord in name only.

He was also a man of great talent, with only a few hundred personal soldiers. Wading through the mountains and rivers of Zhongdu for a year, passing through the Eastern Capital, and then to this wild place in the Northeast. After a lot of hardships, his own soldiers were all killed, and he was left alone to arrive in Wuzhou City in rags.

As soon as he took office, his heart suddenly died. The city of Wuzhou is far away from the emperor and has long been under the control of the imperial court, and the local family controls the political affairs by themselves. For the new city lord who came in embarrassment, except for the fear of the royal family and the fear of harm, there is no fear at all. stumbling everywhere, trying to empty him everywhere. At that time, the five major families had a deep hatred with him Tong Meng and could not reconcile.

Tong Meng endured humiliation for several years, and first paralyzed the major families. Then use all kinds of means, promise all kinds of benefits, win over small and medium-sized families, and fight against the five major families with numbers.

After decades of hard work, he forced him to squeeze out a broad road in the cracks, not only subdued twelve masters for his own use, but also established the Wuzhou army, and the generals under his command were also masters.

A city cannot have two lords, and as the lord of the city, he needs his own authority to be unique. Fifth, everyone does not fall, and Tong Meng can't sleep at night.

But to this day, he does not dare to kill the five major families. He knew that he could have today because the five major families had too deep conflicts of interest, and they were working separately, waiting for each other to eat each other. Once he makes a death move on one of them, he can't guarantee that the four families will not wake up, and it is not known who will kill the deer at that time. The entire city of Wuzhou is prosperous on the surface, but the actual dark tide is turbulent and dangerous.

Tong Meng's current happiest thing is to befriend the sects outside the city, if he can get the support of some sects, he will have a much greater chance of success.

He grew up in Zhongdu back then, and he saw too many political games in the center of power, and his knowledge of right and wrong was naturally incomparable to those of the local giants. He knew that in the entire Liuyun Country, and even in the entire continent, the highest cultivation level was also in the Jindan stage. In addition to the difference in personal combat strength, as long as he gains an advantage in numbers, he can basically dominate Wuzhou City, and he needs to attract more powerful people to stand in his team.

The civil service system is too complicated, it is difficult to keep the people installed by various families, and the relationship is criss-crossed, so he does not dare to trust it too much. But the generals were all raised by him from the grasshoppers in the rivers and lakes and the solitary loose cultivation, especially the twelve overseers, all of whom were strong in cultivation and loyal to him.

The hateful thing is that there are only eleven people now, and the deputy overseers of Nancheng District have been completely wiped out, and the methods are extremely cruel. The secret agents sent out didn't find any clues, so he simply didn't check it either, it must be one of the five major families demonstrating against him.

This incident made him extremely angry, what is the point of checking it or not, anyway, he has to be destroyed to be at ease, where does it matter, which one did it,

However, this event in Wuzhou attracted heroes from all walks of life, which was really a great opportunity for him to be young. In the practice competition more than 70 years ago, he had not yet arrived in Wuzhou, so he didn't know people from all walks of life, and he definitely wouldn't let go of the opportunity to make friends this time. There are also a lot of casual cultivators from other places, and they also happen to attract some masters for their own use.

The "smoke and rain evil youth" Liu Changqing was extremely arrogant, and actually went all the way from the south to the north, challenging Bai Duyun, the number one master in Wuzhou City. If it is according to common sense, if someone defeats the warrior in his jurisdiction, Tong Meng, as the city lord, naturally feels that he has been slapped in the face.

But the "jade sword and silver wire" Bai Duyun is the head of the Bai family, the head of the five families, this person is a young man, a jade sword, not only invincible in the family, but also defeated the first master of all large and small families in one night. In his twenties, he sat on the position of the head of the family, which can be described as a genius and a peerless style.

He is a thorn in Tong Meng's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, and he needs to be removed quickly.

He was not familiar with Liu Changqing, but he also asked his spies to inquire. This person is from the rich land in the south, the city of smoke and rain, scattered cultivation, a jade flute is rampant in the world, challenging countless sects and families, and there are more than ten famous masters alone. acted arrogantly and alone, but there was no way to take him, and he was chased and killed by all walks of life.

I like to challenge the masters of various sects in public, I can't avoid him, I can't beat him, I will lose face if I don't fight, and I will be ashamed if I am defeated.

offended countless sects and families, and people gave him the evil name of "evil youth", so he was called "smoke and rain evil youth", but he was still complacent with this name. This way to the north, there are at least a dozen city-states and wild and dangerous places passing by, and he just let him come over unharmed.

Everywhere you go, you will call in advance to challenge the next famous master. Let it prepare, day by day in the tangle and wait for defeat. It can be described as arrogant, no wonder he is the enemy of the world.

The more information he learned, the happier Tong Meng became, and the more confidence he had in Liu Changqing. It is better for Liu Changqing to defeat Bai Duyun, to deal a blow to the arrogance of the Bai family, it is best to kill him or seriously injure him, and he will have one less enemy.

But no matter whether Liu Changqing wins or loses, he Tong Meng is the profiteer.

As the lord of the city, he is looking forward to the outsider "Smoke and Rain", and if he can be collected for his own use, it will be even more powerful. However, he raised his eyes and looked at the attic floors of the various families, I'm afraid, except for the Bai family, they also think the same, right?
