Sword God Broken Kong

Chapter 8 Aftermath
In the middle of the west of Xuzhou City, there is a Wenle Mountain with a height of hundreds of feet.

Below Wenle Mountain, there is a flat land of about [-] mu. The City Lord's Mansion of Xuzhou City is located on this wide and flat land.

At this time, in the reception hall with a radius of [-] meters in the city lord's mansion, many important people from Xuzhou city had already gathered.

In the reception hall, there are two rows of carved armchairs. The further forward the figure, the higher the status in Xuzhou City.

Among them, sitting on the three chairs at the front of the reception hall were Liu Wenting, the head of the Liu family in the east of the city, Wang Chengwen, the head of the Wang family in the south of the city, and Chen Zhitong, the head of the Chen family in the north of the city.

Even the seats at the back are full of extraordinary figures in Xuzhou city.

There are about ten or twenty people present here, sitting on dozens of iron-wood carved chairs in the reception hall, waiting for the arrival of Yan Bingliu, the current city lord of Xuzhou City.

"What new instructions did City Lord Yan give this time, why did he bring all ten of us here?"

"Who knows, just woke up from the bed early in the morning, and saw the people from the City Lord's Mansion, and they were brought here."

"Hey, I'm the same as you, and I don't know what happened."

"Don't think about it, City Lord Yan is coming soon!"

After a while, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing white clothes, who looked like a ball of soft cotton, slowly walked in from the door of the reception hall.

"City Lord Yan..."

"City Lord Yan..."

The people sitting in the armchairs saw this amiable old man, no one dared to underestimate him, they all got up from the armchairs to pay respects.

"Um…"

Yan Bingliu smiled, nodded, and walked straight to the top chair in the reception hall.

Sitting on the chair, looking at the people sitting on the chairs in the hall, Yan Bingliu's face showed a serious expression.

"I think everyone may already know. Last night, next to my City Lord's Mansion, in an alley near the edge of Xuzhou City, there were traces of two masters fighting."

"Well, yes, the news, we all already know."

The old man with a gray beard and a long gown with gilt patterns sitting in the front row replied lightly that this is Wang Chengwen, the head of the Wang family.

"It didn't take long for the fight between those two masters to blow up an alley on the western edge of our City Lord's Mansion into ruins."

Everyone under the high platform was stunned. An entire alley, at least [-] meters long, turned into ruins because of the fight between two people.

Even a person in the realm of inner qi can't do it. Could it be that this is the legendary master of the realm of true qi.

Hearing Yan Bingliu's words, a middle-aged man in a yellow shirt sitting in the front row couldn't help frowning, but it was the Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Zhitong.

Chen Zhitong asked Yan Bingliu solemnly: "Could it be that those two mysterious figures are extremely masters in the realm of true energy?"

Upon hearing the words, Yan Bingliu did not reply directly, but took a slow pace, and then said loudly to the people in the hall: "Judging from the traces left by the fighting, it should not have reached the realm of true energy. However, I think it is almost the same , those two people are at least on the verge of breaking through the realm of true qi. Otherwise, they wouldn't have caused such a commotion."

"These two people have such strength, wouldn't they become a factor of instability in Xuzhou City? If they go crazy that day and cause chaos in Xuzhou City, then no one will be able to stop us!"

"This is what I want to tell you. Although the forces behind our city lord's mansion can still suppress these two people. However, you still have to inform your family members recently to be careful when you do things outside. Otherwise, if you provoke yourself After killing these two people, no one can protect you! I, the forces behind Xuzhou City, do not want to provoke such people at will."

Hearing Yan Bingliu's words so solemnly, the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly became silent.

They already knew about the support of top forces behind the City Lord's Mansion.It is also because of the forces behind the City Lord's Mansion that Xuzhou City can stand for hundreds of years without perishing.

However, this time, the forces behind the City Lord's Mansion have already stated that they will not prohibit the actions of these two people. If the unscrupulous disciple under the sect accidentally provokes those two people, it will be a disaster.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone on the chairs looked at each other and replied in unison: "Thank you, City Lord Yan, for reminding us, we will definitely pay attention!"

"Well, but you don't have to worry too much. After all, the two of them may have been seriously injured in such a violent fight last night. They should recover from their injuries in a short time, and they are unlikely to come out for activities. So, don't worry too much for the time being. I'm worried, but if you don't want to cause trouble, it's better for you to notify me."

Hearing these words, an old man in black with gloomy eyes in the front row changed his expression. It was Liu Wenting, the head of the Liu Family.

"It should be difficult for people like this to be interested in our place, and it may be possible to leave in two days. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much. As long as those two people make the first move, our City Lord's Mansion will never Stand by and watch."

"Then thank you, City Lord Yan first!"

Everyone in the armchairs stood up to express their thanks. ??
"Hehe, you're welcome. I am the lord of Xuzhou City. The affairs of Xuzhou City are also my duties. I should handle them. There is one more thing. On the 20th day of next month, I will abdicate and let the virtuous At that time, I had been the city owner for [-] years, and it was time for me to take a good rest."

After Yan Bingliu said this, Wang Chengwen, the Patriarch of the Wang family, suddenly became ugly.

"I dare to ask City Lord Yan, the next City Lord of Xuzhou City is my third son, Wang Xinglin."

Wang Chengwen stroked his gray beard with his hands, frowned, and asked Yan Bingliu, the city lord sitting in front of him.

"Hey, it's Wang Xinglin, but it's not from your Wang family, but Wang Xinglin, the guest Qing of my City Lord's Mansion, and Wang Xinglin who will be the next City Lord of Xuzhou City!"

Yan Bingliu looked at Wang Chengwen indifferently, and replied with a half-hearted smile.

"My son Xinglin, after being expelled from the Wang family ten years ago, came to the City Lord's Mansion and became a guest servant of the City Lord's Mansion. I still know about this." In Wang Chengwen's cloudy eyes, a complex expression flashed.

When he expelled Wang Xinglin from the Wang family, it was also for the face of the Wang family.

Ten years ago, Wang Chengwen, in his fifties, saw his third son, Wang Xinglin, the most intelligent and capable, and his wife had only one daughter.

So he planned to make his daughter-in-law Sun Yuanyuan a concubine, and make his third son Wang Xinglin marry Chen Qingfang, the daughter of Chen Zhitong, the head of the Chen family.

But Wang Chengwen never expected that Wang Xinglin loved his wife and daughter deeply, refused to agree, and quarreled loudly with him.

In a fit of anger, Wang Chengwen expelled his third son, Wang Xinglin, and his family from the Wang family.

Although after the incident, Wang Chengwen regretted it very much, but what can he do if he regrets it?

Could it be that he was asked to admit his mistake to his son, one of the three great families in Xuzhou City, the head of the Wang family?Isn't this a joke for others to see?

It was precisely because of this that the news of recalling Wang Xinglin back to the Wang family was delayed.

"When you expelled Wang Xinglin from the Wang family, he was no longer a member of your Wang family. What? Now that you know that your former son is about to become the city lord of Xuzhou City, you can't help but come to curry favor?"

Yan Bingliu looked at Wang Chengwen who seemed to be a few years older suddenly, and the look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Wang Chengwen, who was on the seat, seemed to be waving his hands all the time, and asked in a trembling voice:

"No, my son... no, the next City Lord, how are you doing now?"

"Wang Xinglin is very good. After leaving the cage-like Wang family, he has been living well. His wife and daughter are now living in the City Lord's Mansion."

"Really? That's good, that's good!"

Wang Chengwen's eyes were blank, looking at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.

"On the fifteenth day of next month, please come to the City Lord's Mansion to congratulate the new City Lord on his ascension."

Liu Wenting stood up from the seat, cupped his hands towards Yan Bingliu who was sitting on the armchair, and said in a warm voice:

"Definitely, definitely! The old city lord has an invitation, how dare the next few people refuse to obey! Haha~"

"City Lord Yan, don't worry, we will definitely come to join us."

After Liu Wenting stood up, people behind him got up from their chairs and congratulated Yan Bingliu.

Seeing this, Yan Bingliu showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Well, then here, I will thank a few of you first."

"City Lord Yan is too polite, just for your face, who of us dare not come!"

Chen Zhitong looked at Wang Chengwen who was in a daze, and smiled dryly at Yan Bingliu:

"That's right! Haha... When the new city lord takes over on June [-]th, my Chen family will also come to congratulate me."

"Well, if that's the case, then the matter is over. It seems that the time is almost noon, I wonder if you would like to have lunch as a guest in my city lord's mansion?"

"Strictly invite City Lord, dare not refuse."
