On the morning of February 8th, Bai Zhengnan left the Zhulong Territory, and Zhang Su and Tang De also left Xuantian Peak. Zhang Su was going to Xuantian City to start forming the Zhulong Legion and integrate the local armed forces in the Zhulong Territory, while Tang De, is about to start his first official inspection of Zhang Tie's territory. In Tang De's words, since he has become the general manager of the Zhulong Territory, he, as the general manager, must know everything about the Zhulong Territory - He had to be well aware of the Zhulong Territory's population, resources, land, tax accounts of each city, and the local wealthy country folk, etc.
Fortunately, when Tang De came to Zhulong Territory this time, he also brought with him several capable and reliable helpers he had found in Jinpeng Bank in the past few years. With someone to help him, he could solve the financial management problems in Zhulong Territory slowly. Slowly straighten it out.
Lu Zhongming and his wife also left, but the feelings Lu Zhongming and his wife expressed to Zhang Tie before leaving directly made Zhang Tie shout that his character had exploded.
The news that Lu Zhongming and his wife are joining the Iron Dragon Sect is not a trivial matter for either Zhang Tie or the Iron Dragon Sect.
Of course Zhang Tie welcomed the decision of Lu Zhongming and his wife with both hands. He had no reason not to welcome it. These were two knights. With the addition of Lu Zhongming and his wife, the iron dragon sect's knightly strength suddenly increased from three to three knights. There are five, two earth knights and three black iron knights. This kind of power is already great in Youzhou and the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion.
Lu Zhongming and his wife left the Zhulong Territory to return to Guzhou to deal with the Minling Sword Sect's affairs. After handling the matters in Guzhou, the two of them would join the Iron Dragon Sect with their disciples.
After Zhang Tie's flying boat was returned to Taiyi Xuanmen, the flying boat given to him by Jin Quandao was still being customized according to Zhang Tie's requirements. In another two months, the only flying boat in the Iron Dragon Sect is Bai Suxian's flying boat. Zhang Tie directly asked Bai Suxian's flying boat to take Lu Zhongming and his wife to Guzhou. The flying boat was fast. It only takes five days to go back and forth from Youzhou to Guzhou. If you take an airship, you may not be able to make it in two months. After Lu Zhongming and his wife have settled the matter between Guzhou and the Minling Sword Sect, Zhang Tie will Just let Feizhou pick up the two of them and their disciples.
Lu Zhongming and his wife chose Shengquan Peak among the Eighteen Peaks of Xuantian as the couple's place to stay in Tielong Sect. Therefore, as soon as Lu Zhongming and his wife left, Zhang Tie called Lu Yishan over. He took a gold ticket of 1 million gold coins to Lu Yishan and asked Lu Yishan to directly start building housing facilities along the Shengquan Peak.
For the cost of building a palace, 1 million gold coins is already a large amount. The iron dragon sect Xuantian Peak's mountain gate has only cost more than 1 million gold coins so far. Half a year ago, even if it were in Xuantian City Buying land to build a villa and courtyard. The total price of an ordinary villa and courtyard covering an area of one acre is only more than 1,000 gold coins. Now because of the bloody people, housing prices outside the city are even cheaper.
Lu Zhongming and his wife came to vote. Zhang Tie naturally wouldn't be stingy about this.
Zhang Tie met Lu Yishan in the main hall of Iron Dragon Sect. After Zhang Tie handed the golden ticket to Lu Yishan, he found that Lu Yishan's expression seemed a little strange today. After getting the golden ticket. There was nothing going on here, but Lu Yishan refused to leave. Instead, he hesitated about what he wanted to say to himself.
"Are you encountering any difficulties? If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I'm not a tiger!" Zhang Tie simply took the initiative and asked.
Zhang Tie said this. Lu Yishan gritted his teeth and turned red. As if he had made up his mind, he knelt down in front of Zhang Tie and kowtowed to Zhang Tie three times, "If the sect master doesn't mind, we, the Lu family, are also willing to do our best for the sect master." The sect leader will work with all his heart, and everyone in the Lu family will never betray him. If he disobeys this, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Yishan, who was still a little worried, and his face became serious, "Do you want to be my general?"
"Exactly!"
"Is this your intention or that of the Lu family? Have you discussed it with the elders of the Lu family?"
"I have discussed it with the elders in the family and the Lu family is willing to serve the sect master!"
Lu Yishan bowed down again. The palms of his hands were aligned and placed flat on the ground in front of his knees. His entire upper body was completely attached to the ground, but his forehead touched his palms. This was a gesture of complete surrender. , Zhang Tie didn't speak, Lu Yishan kept this posture, motionless, to show his sincerity.
Zhang Tie knew that Lu Yishan had heard the news after he accepted Li Tao as his general yesterday. Once he opened his mouth, Zhulong would be able to establish a relationship with him, and at the same time he was optimistic about his future and character. Individuals and families will naturally be tempted to get on board their big ship. The Lu family's choice is a bit surprising, but not too surprising. In addition to actively recruiting the so-called family generals, there are also many who self-recommend themselves. Taixia's Many wealthy families often maintain a large number of retainers. Those retainers are those who recommend themselves to various wealthy families and are willing to be driven. If a retainer's ability is favored or he has made meritorious service, he can advance to the next level and become a general.
Zhang Tie looked at Lu Yishan, or to be precise, he looked at the gray hair on Lu Yishan's head after he lowered his head. Those gray hair touched Zhang Tie.
"Okay, get up. From today on, you will be my general. Remember to work for me with your heart in the future. I will naturally not treat the Lu family badly!"
"Greetings, my lord!" Lu Yishan bowed to Zhang Tie again before standing up, with a somewhat excited look on his face.
"Okay, let's go down and do some work..."
Lu Yishan backed away from the ceremony until he reached the door, then turned around and left. Lu Yishan tried his best to keep his footsteps as soft as possible to prevent his footsteps from echoing in the hall.
The main hall in front of us can accommodate thousands of people to hold ceremonies and gatherings here, but at this moment, the main hall is empty. The obsidian floor in the main hall is so smooth and translucent that it can almost reflect people's shadows. Several sandalwood sticks in the main hall The giant wooden pillar exudes the quiet scent of sandalwood, filling the ceremony.
After watching Lu Yishan leave, Zhang Tiecai took a long breath, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the tribute tea inside, then rubbed the delicate porcelain cup with one hand as the temperature gradually cooled down, lowered his head, Think about it...
Different from Li Tao's enterprising spirit, Lu Yishan is more mature and prudent, and he is also cautious in doing things. He is qualified to be his own general. Li Tao can do things, and Lu Yishan can also do things. What Li Tao does may give people He brings surprises by himself, but people like Lu Yishan can do things without mistakes. The Sanyan construction group is very strong and has the construction qualifications of a Class A city. He has such a retainer and construction group around him that he can use. , it will be a lot more convenient in the future.
Lu Yishan is his family general, and Lu Yishan's grandson is his apprentice. To the Lu family, he has dual identities of master and family head. It seems that the Lu family is determined to get on their chariot. Yes, and very urgent...
Why are the Lu family in a hurry
In addition to being optimistic about his future and believing in his character and character, there is probably the same reason why Lu Zhongming and his wife want to join the Iron Dragon Sect, and that is the sense of crisis.
Faced with this situation where the tiger's body was shaken, attacks came from all directions, and heroes and heroes bowed down before him, Zhang Tie did not get carried away by the victory and situation in front of him, but still maintained a clear understanding and insight.
Lu Zhongming and his wife saw the crisis, and the Lu family also saw the crisis. Now that the Taixia Blood Rebellion is spreading, everyone sees the crisis. In this kind of systemic crisis, the instinctive response of all intelligent creatures is to unite.
When it comes to the sense of crisis, neither Lu Zhongming and his wife nor the Lu family felt it more deeply and keenly than Zhang Tie, because before Zhang Tie came to Taixia, he had already experienced the process of continental destruction. He saw with his own eyes the destruction of countless countries, and saw countless people turned into slaves and zombies in front of him, and the destruction of the Hawaiian subcontinent was just the appetizer for this holy war.
Zhang Tie also joined forces, and his actions when approaching Tianjimen and the Guangnan Palace were also in solidarity.
A strong person can be with loneliness and the starry sky, but Zhang Tie, who has witnessed the collision of tens of thousands of knights from the human and demon clans in the earth realm, still dare not say that he is a strong person today, because even if he is an earth knight , sometimes life is also very small, so he can only stick together. What is a real strong person? Zhang Tie's answer to the so-called strong person was still a bit vague before. He felt that his master Zhao Yuan could be regarded as a strong person. After returning from the Earth Yuan Realm, he had a clearer understanding of the strong person in his mind. And a clear definition - only those who can survive alone in the face of the encirclement and strangulation of tens of thousands of knights he saw in the Earth Yuan Realm can truly be called a strong person.
Zhang Tie thinks that he is still far away from such a strong state.
Since we are not strong, we can only stick together.
Just like what Erqida said in the letter he left to himself, the so-called future is just a collection of countless possibilities. There is no definite future. In this holy war, no matter what cards the demons have, no matter what the human race has in store, How bad and pessimistic the situation seems now, but as long as it is not until the last moment, the hope of the human race will always be there, and the countless possible choices in the future are in the hands of the most powerful people.
A person who becomes stronger through practice and reaches the top of the road is strength. A person who can unite more people to form a tower is also a kind of strength - this is Zhang Tie's belief.
After he truly settled down and prepared to take root and develop, Zhang Tie discovered that in these years, he had only focused on cultivation, and there were still too few people around him who could really use him...
The crisp footsteps coming from the door of the hall made the pensive Zhang Tie raise his head.
Bai Suxian walked in from outside the hall with swaying steps, "The 2,000 dead men given to you by the Guangnan Palace have arrived at Xuantian Peak..."
