The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Xuanshui City.
It is shaped like a crouching tiger and shows the majesty of the imperial court.
Although the dynasty of this great Zhou Dynasty has shown signs of decline, in this small corner city, the city lord's palace and the more than a thousand city guards under its jurisdiction are still sitting on the ground.
Even the two gangs that run rampant in the city, the Pegasus Gang and the Sanxiang Gang, have to pay a huge sum of money to the Buddha every year.
Needless to say, this huge sum of money was swallowed up by Li Tongfang, the lord of this city.
The atmosphere in the city lord's mansion today was a bit depressing, like a dark cloud covering the sky.
The city guards were also transferred into the mansion.
There were patrols of sergeants coming and going, with swords and armors in hand, and they formed groups of three and three, making the entire city lord's mansion airtight.
But in the courtyard of the mansion, Li Tongfang was sitting under the pavilion with a frown on his face.
After a long time, an old slave came from behind.
"Master, Miss still can't eat..."
In this way, Li Tongfang's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
The eyes under the eyebrows shimmered.
There is some anger and a lot of thinking.
After a moment of silence, Li Tongfang suddenly said: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. You won't starve to death if you don't eat for a few days."
"It's that Lu Ming...that Lu Ming, why did he suddenly become a sixth-grade one!?"
As for the situation in Xuanshui City, Li Tongfang, a local tiger, certainly knows very well.
However, the smart thing about him is that he does not belong to the prince's side, nor to the Prince Lin's house.
"Since you are the lord of the city, you should be loyal to your majesty and guard the land for your majesty!"
This is what Li Tongfang said and what he did.
So this thing became: he could eat both ends without offending anyone, and he lived a very free and unrestrained life.
But now, today, Li Tongfang is a little bit unrestrained.
Lu Ming was so bold that he slaughtered the whole Zhang family without even caring about his own face. He cut off Lu Ting's left hand as a gift for his daughter, and also gave Zhang Yihe's head...
It scared his daughter out of her mind...
Thinking about it, Li Tong couldn't help but think about it carefully.
While I was thinking, a servant suddenly came to report.
"Sir, someone is coming to the door."
"who."
"Lu Yao's son, Lu Ming."
Li Tong stood up quickly and walked quickly towards the door. He suddenly thought of something and asked again.
"What's his attitude and tone?"
The servant was a little puzzled, but he still told the truth: "Master Lu has a very good attitude. He handed over the greeting card and was very polite. It has changed a lot compared to before."
Li Tongfang narrowed his eyes.
I don’t know if this Lu Ming is really behaving well, or if he is coming here with bad intentions.
…
The well-behaved Lu Ming, the concierge of the City Lord's Mansion, was holding tea and sipping it in small sips.
To his right is the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
On the left hand side is the inner courtyard of the city lord's palace, where the soldiers are lined up with a cold light and awe-inspiring momentum.
"Hiss Liu~~"
A sip of tea juice enters your mouth and leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.
While he was savoring the food, hurried footsteps sounded, but it was City Lord Li Tongfang who had already arrived from the inner courtyard and stood in front of the military formation.
Looking at Lu Ming, who was quiet and soft-featured, Li Tong, official, showed off his power and shouted loudly.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
"I came to visit Uncle Li."
Lu Ming put down the tea cup and spoke like this, then frowned and looked confused: "What? I made an agreement with Sister Shanshan yesterday... didn't she tell Uncle Li?"
Li Tongfang narrowed his eyes and remained silent when he saw Lu Ming's expression turned cold.
"Then, she is a bit ignorant."
At this point, the atmosphere suddenly solidified!
Li Tongfang's face suddenly darkened, and when he looked at Lu Ming, Li Tongfang gritted his teeth and spoke.
"How dare you come and provoke me!? Are you crazy?"
"So what if you reach the sixth level of achievement? How can you, an ordinary man, come to the city lord's palace of the Zhou Dynasty just when you want!?"
"You ignorant bitch, you were stupid before, but now you are crazy and stupid! Do you think you will be invincible after achieving the sixth rank!?"
He said this, but the soldiers behind him remained motionless...
Because it is difficult to kill a sixth-grade warrior just by relying on armored soldiers.
Lu Ming also snorted: "Sixth grade is not invincible, and it is not easy to break into the city lord's mansion like yours."
After saying that, he suddenly laughed evilly: "But guess what, Uncle Li? Although I can't enter your city lord's mansion whenever I want, I can leave whenever I want."
The difficulty in surrounding and killing the sixth-grade warriors is that they cannot restrict the sixth-grade warriors from running away.
There is a limit to manpower. Even a middle-grade warrior has a limit to his health and recovery speed.
In a life-and-death fight with a large army, if the army soldier refuses to retreat, the army soldier can also kill the middle-level warrior... But the problem is that if the middle-level warrior wants to run away, the army soldier has not much to do.
Armor piercing is inherently slow, and a sixth-level warrior can run faster than a war horse, making it difficult for the cavalry to catch up.
In a complex environment like street fighting in the city, this characteristic becomes even more vivid.
Xia uses force to break the ban.
The ferocious expression on Li Tongfang's face slowly faded.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and said again: "Do you know how much crime it would be for a warrior to forcefully break into the city lord's palace?"
Lu Ming said with a smile: "If you want to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan, including all the powerful clans you belong to, you should kill them all. No chickens or dogs will be left behind."
Li Tongfang sighed deeply, and the expression on his face became complicated.
He had already discovered the trouble with Lu Ming.
…
In order to deal with the problem of warriors, especially middle-grade warriors and above, being too strong individually, the Great Zhou court also made several preparations.
One of them is Dongchang, which specializes in supervising and controlling the martial arts in Zhou Dynasty. The second is severe punishments and severe laws. The third is material control. In addition, there are four others that I will not list for now.
Let’s talk about Dongchang and severe punishment first.
The reputation of Dongchang spreads far and wide, and there are many masters in it. The owner of the factory is the famous Mr. Fu, who is in the third-grade golden realm.
Coupled with the heavy code and Dongchang as the executor, any warrior who committed a taboo would be considered dead and would bring disaster to the family clan.
Therefore, the forced entry into the city lord's mansion was a rare occurrence in several years.
However, these two moves scare one kind of person.
A wandering warrior with no home or job.
They have neither a family nor a sect. Even if they break into your city lord's palace in anger, there is no way that your Dongchang will be able to rush to the scene as soon as possible...
Therefore, there is a third method, material control.
This is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to obtain the Qi-Blood Elixir and the Six-Rank True Kung Fu - if these three things were allowed to leak out easily and create a large group of mid-level wandering warriors, then the imperial court would suffer a great sin... …
Let’s talk about Lu Ming.
Li Tongfang knew that Lu Ming was in a very bad situation and that the Sanxiang Gang was about to collapse - which meant that he was not bound by the sect's power.
We also know how Lu Yao died... Of course, how Lu Yao died is not important. What is important is that Dongchang cannot dig Lu Yao out of his grave and kill him again.
——So Lu Ming has no relatives now.
This is a proper sixth-grade wandering warrior.
He is still only sixteen years old, which is when he is young, irritable and impulsive.
In a fit of rage, he broke into your city lord's palace and killed you, Li Tongfang. The worst result would be to exchange one life for another.
Lu Mingjue didn't feel that he was at a loss, but Li Tongfang didn't know about it, but he felt that he was probably at a big loss.
After reading this, Li Tongfang suddenly showed a kind smile on his face.
He waved his sleeves and smiled at Lu Ming.
"My dear nephew, you are making trouble about this matter. Uncle, I am old and have a bad memory. I just remembered that Shanshan mentioned this matter when she got home yesterday... But uncle, I did not entertain you well."
Lu Ming also smiled back: "I wonder if Sister Shanshan is now..."
"Okay, very good. I can eat, sleep and don't have nightmares."
"I can rest assured that."
"But I don't know why my nephew came to visit today."
Lu Ming drank all the tea in his hand and smiled.
"To be honest, seeing Uncle Li is a reason, but it's not the main reason."
"The main purpose is to come and meet the hidden lord of Xuanshui City."
After the words fell, Lu Ming stopped talking.
…
The Lord of the Hidden City is the fourth level of defense against warriors in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Every city must be guarded by middle-grade warriors! Depending on the size of the city being guarded, the strength of the guardian warriors is also different - but they must be middle-grade warriors.
The official salary and salary are the same as those of the city lord, so he is called the hidden city lord.
There is an official mid-level warrior guarding Xuanshui City.
Sixth level realm.
But the divine dragon has its head but not its tail, and no one knows its face or name.
