The sky is bright and clear today, and Tianxing City is as prosperous and lively as in the past.
Tianxing City is the central provincial capital of Xichuan Province. The Governor's Mansion is located here, and the Imperial Commercial Bank and even the seven major families conduct business here.
It was noon at this time, the sky was still early, and the city was bustling with people.
Suddenly, the huge aqua-blue light curtain covering the whole city opened and closed from above, and a golden dragon boat, escorted by several huge ships, flew directly into the city.
The fleet flew past the city and headed towards the center of Tianxing City.
This scene caused the originally noisy Tianxing City to fall into silence, and soon there was a burst of roaring discussion.
"Hey...how can there be a ship that dares to fly over our Tianxing City!"
"Yes, it is strictly prohibited in the city to fly in the air. Where did these people come from to be so bold?"
A well-informed person explained: "This is an official ship of the Governor's Palace. Of course it can fly in the city."
After everyone heard this, they found that the ship was flying towards the Governor's Mansion in the city.
Someone else said: "By the way, I heard that Governor Zhang of our Xichuan Province has now been officially canonized as the Commander-in-Chief of the Coastal Battlefield and no longer serves as the Governor of Xichuan Province. It seems that the DPRK has arranged a new one. Lord Governor.
I heard that he took office just a few days ago. Could this be the arrival of the new Governor? "
"The new governor? Isn't he promoted from the commander-in-chief and the governor? Who is this person?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, those who can hold the position of governor are those with great hands and eyes. We little people, don't worry about it."
…
While the crowd was chatting, the fleet had already arrived above the Governor's Mansion.
The high-walled compound of the Governor's Mansion is majestic. It is located in the center of Tianxing City and covers an extremely large area. From a high position, you can feel a solemn and majestic atmosphere.
At this moment, on the Dragon Boat, it was Han Feng and his party who had come all the way from Bailong County.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles for a day and a night, they finally arrived at the official residence that symbolized the pinnacle of power in Xichuan Province.
Han Feng stood on the bow of the ship and took a look at the mansion below. He immediately felt that there were many powerful auras in the mansion.
Ling Long on the side reported to Han Fenghui: "Your Majesty Governor, before setting off yesterday, I already sent a summons to the Governor's Mansion, the seven prefectures, twenty-three counties, and the seven major families."
Sure enough, as soon as Linglong finished speaking, in the main hall of the Governor's Palace, a group of men and women in official uniforms sensed the aura in the sky and poured out of the hall one after another, looking into the void.
Seeing this situation, Linglong flew up and loudly said to the people below: "The Governor is here!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in the Governor's Mansion bowed and saluted, shouting: "Welcome to the Governor!"
Seeing this, Han Feng also took away the Dragon Boat and floated down with everyone.
"Everyone, please get up, no need to be polite!"
Han Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up. At the same time, he glanced at the crowd and saw some unfamiliar faces in front of him.
Only a middle-aged man with a square face and a smile standing in the middle of the crowd was recognized by Han Feng at a glance. He was his current "in-laws", Fang Ziqing, the governor of Yumen County.
When Han Feng was looking at the crowd, everyone was also looking at him secretly.
When they saw Han Feng's energetic young face, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At the same time, sensing the undetectable awe-inspiring pressure on Han Feng, they were all secretly horrified by his cultivation.
Later, Linglong stepped forward and introduced the identities of these people one by one to Han Feng.
They are all the governors and county guards of the "seven prefectures and twenty-three counties" of Xichuan Province. They are all fourth-grade officials, and their cultivation levels have reached the star level.
Immediately, Han Feng noticed four figures standing in front of the crowd, namely a white-haired old man, an old woman with a cane, a middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman.
None of the four people were wearing official uniforms, but the Fuyin County guards stood obediently behind the four people, looking at the four figures with awe.
Han Feng scanned his mind and was surprised to find that these four people had reached the moon level.
Immediately, Linglong stepped forward and introduced the identities of the four people to Han Feng.
It turned out that the four of them were the elders and heads of the four major families of the Xichuan Province: the "Lu family", the "Nangong family", the "Jin family" and the "Duanmu family".
The three most powerful forces in Xichuan Province are the Governor's Palace, Tiannan College, and the seven major families that each dominate the province.
Seven of the major families, although not part of the official organization, have obtained imperial titles and the power to form private armies, and are naturally subject to the control of the Governor-General's Palace.
Facing the respectful worship of the four people, Han Feng's attitude was also quite polite.
After all, his friends Jin Buhuan, Lu Yun'er, Nangong Qi, Duan Muxuan and others are the descendants of these four families.
When the two parties met for the first time, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, but Han Feng was keenly aware of something unusual.
Linglong looked at the crowd and frowned. Then he called the two officers on duty at the Governor's Mansion and asked coldly: "Where are the General Soldier and the Governor?"
The two of them were frightened by Linglong's cold gaze, and one of them quickly explained: "Report to the Governor and the Commander.
This morning, both adults sent people to deliver the leave. Today, the Commander-in-Chief is leading the Anton and Annan armies out of the city for drills, and he really can't get away.
In addition, the governor suddenly fell ill recently and was bedridden, so he was unable to come to greet him. "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became a little subtle.
When the new governor arrived, the two adults, the "General Soldier" and the "Governor", who were the governor's right-hand men, did not show up to greet him.
If the commander-in-chief's excuse for military training is excusable, then the governor is in ill health, which is really unbelievable.
After all, the other party heard that he was also a moon-level powerful person. How could he get sick easily, and it was just in time for today.
The two bosses of the Governor's Mansion did not show up, which had already sent out some kind of strong signal.
All the officials present were naturally aware of the "power struggle" existing in the Governor's Mansion, and they were secretly exchanging glances at this moment.
Linglong asked again: "What about the representatives of the Murong family, Tian family and Liu family? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
The official hesitated and said: "This... I don't know yet. How about... we send someone to ask again?"
Of the seven major families, only four representatives arrived. Representatives from the other three families did not show up, not even for a reason.
This attitude can no longer be described as rude, and the fact that the three major families would act like this at the same time was obviously intended to target Han Feng, and most of them were instructed by someone.
When he first took office, he encountered such a situation. Han Feng was undoubtedly given a slap in the face.
Everyone also looked at Han Feng with concern, thinking that the young governor might be furious and launch an attack on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Han Feng's face was like spring breeze and rain, with a warm smile, and he waved his hands to the two officials and said: "There is no need to ask, since you are not coming, there is a reason why you are not coming. Don't talk outside anymore, and Come with me to the hall to talk."
Everyone was secretly frightened when they saw this. Faced with such a situation, they were able to "keep their emotions in check".
It seems that this young governor is not just talented, but also has an excellent temperament, and his evaluation of Han Feng is a little higher.
At the moment, Han Feng asked Zhou Yunmei and others to rest in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, while he led representatives of the four major families and officials into the hall to sit down and talk.
(PS: Today’s update, I’ve been a bit slow lately, so I’ll take a closer look at the follow-up plot.)
