Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye Fan Yi has been staying at the City Lord's Mansion for six days.
In addition to practicing boxing and tempering his body every day, the young man would take him to the Yunze Lingkuang Mountains to hunt hybrid beasts.
But these few times, Fu Lao was in charge, and every time he hunted small beasts that were ten or twenty years old. Seeing that Fan Yi was getting more and more relaxed when fighting, Fu Lao slowly walked deeper into the mountains.
The strange thing is that in the past five days, Jin Xiao Shengdou never took the initiative to say a word, and Fan Yi communicated several times, but there was no response either.
This made Fan Yi suddenly lose confidence.
The incorporation of spirits into his body continued, but as usual, it circled around in his body and then disappeared. Even if the cyclone was condensed, although there was no Xiao Shengdou to cause trouble, it would automatically disperse every time.
Early this morning.
The old man came to look for Fan Yi as usual. Behind the old man were three warriors wearing silver armor. They all held a wooden plate in their hands, with three thin and black items placed on them.
Seeing Fan Yi still walking and practicing boxing, the old man stepped forward and said:
"Fan Yi, stop practicing now. Come and take a look at the black scale python armor I asked the craftsmen to make for you."
Hearing this, Fan Yi stopped practicing, clasped his fists at Fu Lao, then approached another warrior, picked up a piece of armor and looked at it.
I was secretly surprised in my heart.
The elder asked Fan Yi to take off his long robe and asked the young man to put on the armor of the one-horned black-scaled python.
When Fan Yigang put on the armor, he found that it was light and breathable, and not as restrictive as the silver armor worn by warriors.
At this time, the old man smiled and said:
"There are two other pieces. You should also keep them in the Fang Cun Tiger Card. These are good things. Don't take them out to show others casually."
Fan Yi nodded, and he casually made a gesture, and saw the two pieces of armor automatically fly towards the Fang Cun Tiger Brand and disappear.
After the elder asked Fan Yi to stand still, he couldn't help but punch the young man in the heart. Although the force was somewhat restrained, when the fist landed on the young man, it still sent out ripples of energy.
Fan Yi was seen stepping back a few feet, but he didn't feel much pain on his body.
Fan Yi was shocked again. This armor was really extraordinary. He thought that with this armor, he could protect his body even if he was attacked by swords and axes from monks in the Four Realms.
Fan Yi has already made plans to give the remaining two pieces of armor to his father and second uncle, which will increase his combat power a lot.
Fan Yi clasped his fists at Fu Lao again, originally thinking that Fu Lao was going to take him into the mountains for hunting again.
The old man smiled and said:
"There is no need to go hunting in the mountains today. The Lin family and the Shangguan family are getting married today. We will go with the city lord to the Lin family to congratulate you and reunite you with your family."
After hearing this, Fan Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly turned around and went to the room to pack his things, and happily followed the elder to the main hall.
After five days of continuous intensive training, he had long wanted to see his family.
Fan Yi murmured in his heart: I don’t know if the Li family has approached his father. They should have reached an alliance. I don’t care, it will all be clear after they meet.
At this moment, Qin Sheng was already standing at the door of the hall.
Seeing three carriages waiting at the bottom of the stairs, Fu Lao and Fan Yi quickened their pace to meet them.
When Qin Sheng saw Fan Yi, he already smiled and said:
"Fan Yi, you will ride in the same carriage as me today. I have something to tell you."
Fan Yi was a little surprised, but still followed Qin Sheng onto the sedan chair.
Qin Sheng sat upright this time and said:
"Fan Yi, you have been stationed in the City Lord's Mansion for a while, how is it? Are you still getting used to it?"
Fan Yi nodded hurriedly and replied:
"When you come to eat, you open your mouth and stretch out your hands, you get used to it, you get used to it."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng laughed loudly and said after laughing:
"You are also an interesting person. I know it is not easy for you to practice with Mr. Fu during this period. But do you know why I arranged it this way?"
Fan Yi shook his head.
Qin Sheng was very satisfied with Fan Yi's attitude and said playfully:
"If you were asked to live in the City Lord's Mansion from now on, would you be willing?"
Fan Yi was even more puzzled by what Qin Sheng wanted to express. He just looked at Qin Sheng with some confusion and did not answer.
Qin Sheng frowned slightly. He seemed to be considering his words, and finally said slowly:
"Fan Yi, do you know that our Rongcheng is attached to the Wuzong of Qingyun Prefecture. Some time ago, I received a secret order from the sect, asking me to go to Wuzong to meet with the various city lords."
"As for what happened, I don't know very well. It's just that this time I feel that it will be different from before. Maybe something big will happen. So once I leave Rongcheng this time, I don't know when I will come back."
Seeing that Fan Yigang was about to ask, Qin Sheng raised his hand to stop him and said:
"Listen to me first. The mansion elder and I have decided to train you to be the next city lord of Rong City, so we have ordered you to move into the city lord's mansion, and the mansion elder will assist you step by step. Do you understand now?"
Fan Yi was already shocked in his heart, but the expression on his face was still calm. Except for the stunned look in his eyes, he did not react too much.
Seeing the young man's expression, Qin Sheng felt a little more appreciative. He just smiled and waited for the young man's answer.
Fan Yi took a few deep breaths before saying:
"City Lord, I'm just a Third Realm monk. I can't be the City Lord of Rongcheng no matter what. Can I choose not to accept it?"
Qin Sheng smiled and replied:
"cannot."
Qin Sheng answered decisively, with an unquestionable tone in his words.
Qin Sheng stretched out his big hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and said sincerely:
"I know that once I entrust Rongcheng to you, the responsibility on my shoulders will be very heavy, but there is nothing I can do about it."
"For people of your father's generation, cultivation is like climbing a mountain with a heavy load, and it is difficult to make progress."
"In this martial arts trial, you are the only one who came out on top with your cultivation in the third realm and as a martial arts junior master."
"I believe that when you grow up in the future, you will be able to protect the people of Rongcheng. What you lack now is not talent, but time."
"As for how much time I can give you, Mr. Fu and I are both unsure. In addition, Mr. Fu can help you, but don't rely too much on it."
"do you understand?"
Fan Yi listened to Qin Sheng's words and already knew that Qin Sheng had made a decision and could not change it.
Fan Yi thought for a long time and finally nodded and said:
"I can only do my best. But don't worry, city lord, as long as I, Fan Yi, are here, whether it is defending against enemies in Rongcheng or rushing into battle, I will definitely be at the forefront."
Hearing this, Qin Sheng laughed again.
Qin Sheng originally had a hint of doubt in his heart, but after hearing the young man's promise, he completely gave up his doubts.
Qin Sheng knew Fan Yi's temperament, and as long as he said something, he would definitely do it.
The two talked a lot on the sedan chair.
Qin Sheng continued to exchange his experience in governing Rongcheng with Fan Yi, and even explained clearly how to contain the major families in Rongcheng through means and methods.
On the one hand, Fan Yi was shocked when he heard this. After all, there was no way to contain this matter.
On the other hand, he finally understood what Machiavellian tactics were.
Qin Sheng was willing to tell him so much, and he seemed to be making a huge gamble.
He is gambling on people's hearts with a city.
