"Guo Shaozhuang. ”

Jin Daiping walked up to Guo Lanying and smiled.

He was accompanied by two tall and mighty retinues.

But the bloodlines of those two people are only low-grade grades, so they are not worth Lu Ping'an's attention.

"I've seen the Golden City Lord. ”

Guo Lanying also said with a smile on her face.

Jin Daiping said: "I have admired the name of the young owner for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and it was really a heroine among women." ”

Guo Lanying shook her head with a smile and said, "You have won awards, you are the real hero, Lord of the Golden City." ”

Jin Daiping smiled bitterly: "I have done nothing in my life, and the word 'heroic' is completely incompatible, even if you want to be polite, you don't have to be polite to this point." ”

Guo Lanying said: "I'm telling the truth, Lord Jincheng, you dare to come to a chaotic place like Tongning City to be an official, and you still want to manage the chaos in the city, just having this courage is enough to be called a hero." ”

Jin Daiping said: "My courage was given to me by His Majesty and the imperial court, but even so, it is still difficult to govern Tongning City, after all, it needs the full support of someone like you, the young master." ”

Guo Lanying said: "If you really just need support, then our Yanxia Villa is naturally obliged, but I'm afraid that things are not so simple, what you want is more than just support, Lord Jincheng." ”

Jin Daiping smiled: "Young master, you think of me too greedily. ”

Guo Lanying said: "If you want to control the entire Tongning City, you are not greedy enough?"

Jin Daiping said: "I came by the emperor's order, within the territory, it is not the king's land, Your Majesty wants to govern the entire Dongyu Kingdom, including Tongning City, do you think that Your Majesty is also very greedy?"

Guo Lanying said: "Your Majesty, or you are the Lord of the Golden City, there is no problem if you want to govern, but the key is, how do you govern? Do you overthrow all the forces in the city, and then let everyone listen to you, let the City Lord's Mansion control it, or slowly change it under the premise of maintaining stability?"

Jin Daiping said: "Good question, I invited the young owner of the village to come over today, just to talk about these issues, after all, your Yanxia Villa is the number one force in the city, if you want to govern Tongning City well, you will definitely not be able to bypass you." ”

Guo Lanying pretended to be surprised, and said, "Oh, in the eyes of the Golden City Lord, is our Yanxia Mountain Villa really so important? Then why have you been in Tongning City for so many days, and I only received your invitation today." ”

Jin Daiping said: "I'm a newcomer, I must take care of everything before I can invite you over, otherwise it will be too reckless and rude." ”

This was obviously a perfunctory remark, but Guo Lanying deliberately followed his words and said, "Then according to that, the Lord of Jincheng, you don't care about any recklessness and rudeness when you invite forces like Wanrong Commercial Bank to a banquet?"

Jin Daiping said with a smile: "How can they be compared with your Yanxia Villa?" Okay, let's stop standing here and chatting, go in and sit, I have already asked someone to prepare wine and food, but it may not be as good as your Yanxia Villa, if there is anything dissatisfied, please forgive the owner." ”

Guo Lanying also smiled indifferently and said, "I don't have a bad mouth, as long as it's not poisonous." ”

Jin Daiping laughed twice and said, "Young master, you are really joking, please." ”

After that, Guo Lanying, Lu Ping'an and others, under the leadership of Jin Daiyan, walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

The conversation between Guo Lanying and Jin Daiping before sounded harmonious on the surface, but in fact, it was a needle hidden in the cotton, implying a sharp edge, as if the conversation would collapse at any time and tear the skin.

But the fact is that they all control the scale very well, and only vaguely express a certain attitude of their own.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Ping'an expanded his divine sense, mainly to find out if there were any ambushes around.

As a result, he didn't perceive that there was an ambusher, but found that this city lord's mansion was a bit old, as if it hadn't been repaired for a long time, not to mention compared to Yanxia Villa, even the compound of the Demon Slaying Society branch that Lu Ping'an had been to back then was not as good.

It can be seen that for so many years, the city lords of Tongning City have indeed not mixed well.

When they took their seats in the dining hall, hot meals were served.

The dishes are mediocre, not very rich, but not humble either.

Although what Guo Lanying said before was just a joke, even if these meals were really poisonous, Lu Ping'an was not worried at all.

Just because he has a bloodline that can remove toxins, even if Guo Lanying is poisoned, he can share the bloodline with her to detoxify her.

Guo Lanying and Jin Daiping sat opposite each other, while Lu Ping'an and Chun Yu Feiqiong stood behind Guo Lanying.

"You guys go down first, I want to talk to Master Guo Shaozhuang alone. ”

Jin Daiping suddenly said to the two entourages behind him.

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Ping'an and the others, in fact, he was hinting to Guo Lanying that the two of them should go out.

But when his two entourages went out, Guo Lanying still didn't speak.

Jin Daiping had no choice but to say helplessly: "Young Zhuang Master, do you want to let your two guards go outside to rest?"

Guo Lanying said: "No, it's good for them to stand here." ”

Jin Daiping smiled bitterly: "Could it be that you are still worried about what I will do to you?"

Guo Lanying smiled: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but do something to you later, with them, at least they can pull me." ”

Jin Daiping said: "Young master, you are really humorous, but since you don't want them to go out, then stay here." Come, try this dish......"

Then, the two of them ate, they first chatted about the dishes, and then Guo Lanying asked Jin Daiping if he was used to eating when he first came here...... In short, it was some homely gossip.

While chatting, Guo Lanying took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that the Lord of the Golden City, you have practiced in Jixia Academy for more than forty years before, how did you become an official in a good manner?"

Jin Daiping said: "Young Owner, why do you care so much about my affairs?

Guo Lanying said: "No matter what you talk about, it must be based on mutual understanding and mutual trust, so it is normal for me to ask about the Lord of Jincheng, of course, if you don't want to say it, then I naturally won't ask more." ”

Jin Daiping smiled and said: "It makes sense, but in fact, there is nothing that cannot be said, it is nothing more than that my talent is limited, and my cultivation is too hard, and I really decided to leave the academy because I have encountered a bottleneck, I have been stagnant in a realm for many years, and no matter how hard I try, I have made no progress, so I want to change my way of living and see if I can gain some new insights." ”

Guo Lanying said: "I see, I don't know how many years you have been an official, have you realized something?

Jin Daiping said: "I really have some understanding, and the bottleneck has been broken through, but in order to be a good official, I sacrificed a lot of energy and time, which can only be said to be a loss and a gain." ”

Guo Lanying said: "Congratulations, take the liberty of asking, what kind of cultivation realm are you now, Lord Jincheng?"

Jin Daiping waved his hand and said, "The realm is low, it's not worth mentioning, but I'm very curious, what kind of cultivation realm is Venerable Master?" I have heard many people say that her strength is unfathomable, but no one knows how strong she is. ”

He deliberately did not answer the question positively, and did not let Guo Lanying continue to be tempted, but asked about Ouyang Xia.

But Guo Lanying would definitely not tell him, so she said, "You should also know that the family master has been in retreat recently, so I don't know what level she has reached. ”

Jin Daiping said: "In this case, there is no need for us to talk about these things anymore, let's talk about Tongning City." ”

Guo Lanying nodded and said, "When I was outside just now, I already raised my question, but I don't know if you will give me an answer, Lord Jincheng?"

Jin Daiping said: "What you are asking is how I plan to govern Tongning City, right? In fact, it is very simple, that is, to make those who do not listen to discipline become obedient. ”

Guo Lanying said: "The question is, what method do you want to use to make everyone listen to you?"

Jin Daiping said: "Xiaozhi moves with reason, I invited other people to a banquet a few days ago, and that's what I did." ”

Guo Lanying asked, "What is the result?"

Jin Daiping shook his head and said: "It's not very good, and then I found out that I still have to convince you Yanxia Villa first, so that I can better convince other forces, because your Yanxia Villa's influence in Tongning City is even greater than I imagined." ”

Guo Lanying knew that what Jin Daiping said was half-true, but she still said curiously: "So that's the case, so how are you going to convince me now?"

Jin Daiping said: "This is a difficult problem, you Yanxia Villa wants money and power, it seems that no matter what, it is difficult for you to really obey the arrangement of my city lord's mansion." ”

Guo Lanying said: "Let's change the word, negotiation, if you want to negotiate, I don't mind hearing your thoughts." ”
