Views:

The first time Zhang Tie saw Zhang Taixuan, he saw the shadow of Lan Yunxi on this man's face.

To be fair, if Zhang Tie were to choose a man who was most lethal to women and looked like an uncle, Zhang Taixuan should be ranked first.

From the appearance, this man is in his forties or fifties, with a face like a crown jewel, meticulously combed hair, and eyes as bright as stars. He has the demeanor of a noble family leader and a humble gentleman.

Zhang Taixuan's appearance did not show how strong he was, but in this room, surrounded by the elders of Huaiyuan Hall, this man's aura was extremely powerful. Zhang Tie felt it carefully and was slightly surprised in his heart. On his body, he felt the same knightly aura as the Demon Commander, or even more powerful than the Demon Commander.

Zhang Taixuan is about to advance to become an Earth Knight - this is the first feeling in Zhang Tie's heart. No wonder he dares to have the ambition to compete for the position of Youzhou Governor.

Zhang Tie was sizing up Zhang Taixuan, and Zhang Taixuan was also sizing up Zhang Tie.

Among all the family members of Huaiyuantang, Zhang Tie's appearance is not that outstanding. He is neither as beautiful as Yushu Linfeng nor as beautiful as Pan An. He is just tall and straight, with a calm and calm demeanor. However, Zhang Tie's appearance reveals His age makes him very eye-catching, and he is unique among all the elders of Huaiyuantang.

Even Zhang Tie didn't know why. Since he left Black Flame City until now, his appearance has always been that of sixteen or seventeen years old. This appearance is ten years younger than his actual age.

"Greetings to the head of the family!" Zhang Tie bowed to Zhang Taixuan with his hands crossed.

The first time I met Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Tie also did enough etiquette. Facing this man who might be his future father-in-law, he also wanted to leave a good impression on Zhang Taixuan. If this man feels that he is too arrogant and frivolous, this man will be a mountain in front of him and Lan Yunxi in the future.

Seeing Zhang Tie's performance, a smile appeared on Zhang Taixuan's face, and he said in a warm voice, "Elder Mu Shen, please take a seat!"

Zhang Tie sat down below Elder Mu Yuan.

"Elder Mu En, Elder Mu Shen has just arrived and may not be clear about some things yet. Please introduce to Elder Mu Shen the things we just talked about!"

"Yes!" Elder Mun En responded, and then gave Zhang Tie a brief and concise introduction to some of the things that had happened in Youzhou City in the past two days.

In the past two days in Youzhou City, the battle for governor is approaching. All the information became clear.

The fight for the governorship of Youzhou this time is indeed within a battlefield where the Huntian Orb evolved.

Nine local families in Youzhou, including Huaiyuantang, participated in the competition for governor. That’s nine candidates. Among these nine candidates, only two can truly be called strong opponents of Huaiyuantang. Of these two parties, one is the Lu family from Lingfeng County in Youzhou, and the other is the Gu family from Donghe County in Youzhou.

There are 10 knights in the Lu family. The Lu family is a noble family in Youzhou. Its head, Lu Dingzhi, is also a hereditary earl and has a prominent reputation in Youzhou. A few years ago, he had paid homage to Taixia Shaofu Zhong Guanling, and his roots were deep. He is the most vocal person competing for the title of governor of Youzhou this time.

The Gu family of Donghe County is also a local power. Although the family is not a hereditary noble family, in Youzhou, when it comes to the Gu family, everyone is familiar with it. The Gu family has 8 knights. The 8 knights of the Gu family Among the knights, the most eye-catching ones are the head and young master of the Gu family. The head of the Gu family, Gu Dashou, and the young master of the Gu family, Gu Qingyun. The father and son are both knights. They are unique in Youzhou and can be regarded as a good story. Gu Dashou had a son at an old age. Among the knights, Gu Dashou was not seen as very tyrannical, but the reputation of Gu Dashou's son Gu Qingyun was still far higher than that of his father.

Because in Youzhou, when it comes to the words "cultivation genius", Gu Qingyun deserves the title. Gu Qingyun advanced to the rank of War Spirit at the age of sixteen, and was later accepted as a disciple by the elders of Zhitian Pavilion, one of the seven major sects of Taixia. Six years after entering Zhitian Pavilion, at the age of 22, he advanced to the rank of Black Iron Knight. Famous in Youzhou. It is said that in that Zhitian Pavilion, Gu Qingyun is also highly appreciated by the sect leaders and has a bright future.

The Lu family and the Gu family, in every aspect, are superior to Huaiyuantang, which has just taken root in Youzhou.

In addition to these two families, the other six families that want to compete for the governorship of Youzhou are the Yan family of Chaoyang County, the Liu family of Changshan County, the Ximen family of Xingbei County, the Sun family of Guide County, and the Sanquan County The Guo family and the Li family in Miyun County.

These families are all local wealthy families, and each has its own support. In Weiling County, there are basically more than three knights guarding the families. This time these families participated in the battle for the governor, and each of them was equally ambitious and well-prepared. Come.

Judging from the current situation of all parties, Huaiyuantang is probably only ranked third in terms of strength in this competition for governorship. It is not as strong as the superiors but more than more than the inferiors. In this battle for the governorship of Youzhou, the future of Huaiyuantang now looks like It is not optimistic. Among the many people who came to Youzhou to watch the excitement, few people thought that the position of governor of Youzhou this time would go to Huaiyuantang. The current handicap offered by the casino in Youzhou City, The odds of Huaiyuantang are 1 and 1.35. This odds, understood conversely, means that in the eyes of most people, the winning rate of Huaiyuantang is less than 30%. Those who are staring outside the Huaiyuantang Hall at the moment include people sent by various families in Youzhou who regard Huaiyuantang as their competitors, and people from the casinos in Youzhou City. Especially the latter, they are even more concerned about Huaiyuantang's every move. Concerned.

After listening to Elder Mu En's brief and concise introduction, Zhang Tie's face became serious. At this time, Youzhou City was really a tiger looming over a dragon. Masters from all walks of life gathered together and appeared on stage, each one eyeing the position of governor. .

After saying this, Elder Moon paused for a moment, "This is the current situation in Youzhou City. Just after talking about these situations, the head of the family was talking to the elders about the Huntian Treasure Ball, and here you are!"

Zhang Tie nodded, and when he heard the Huntian Treasure Ball, his thoughts suddenly started to rise again.

After Elder Moon finished speaking, Zhang Taixuan coughed twice and waited until everyone's eyes were focused on him again before he spoke, "The Huntian Orb is a rare treasure, but this rare treasure comes from the underground world. The discovery of the Huntian Treasure Ball is not unique to the Tianji Sect, nor is it unique. I have seen this kind of thing in the Taihang Fortress in the Diyuan World during my years of fighting in the Diyuan Realm, and personally entered the Huntian Treasure Ball. I have experienced it in the ball, and therefore, I have probably guessed what is going on in this competition for governor. I will tell it so that the elders can have a reference for preparation... "

More than twenty minutes later, the meeting ended. After the elders and Zhang Taixuan politely excused themselves, they walked out of the room one by one, not in a relaxed mood.

In Zhang Tie's heart, at this time, his mind was filled with what Zhang Taixuan had just said about the Hun Tian Treasure Ball. After listening to Zhang Taixuan's introduction, Zhang Tie was not thinking about this governor's battle, but the mysterious Earth Yuan Realm.

Zhang Tie didn't notice that after they left, Count Changfeng stroked a strange and colorful ring on his hand, and looked at his back with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Elder Mu Shen!" Elder Mu Yuan called out to him when he walked out of the attic.

"Elder Mu Yuan!" Zhang Tie stopped and bowed slightly to Elder Mu Yuan.

"Can your body recover in the past few days?" Elder Mu Yuan asked with concern.

"Thank you Elder Mu Yuan for your concern. This time I took my mother out to relax. Along the way, my mother was in a happy mood and her health has basically recovered!"

"Oh, that's good!" Elder Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief obviously, "This competition for the position of governor of Youzhou is no small matter. Elder Mu Shen must deal with it carefully!"

"I know, for Huaiyuantang, I will go all out this time!"

Elder Mu Yuan nodded, touched his beard, and suddenly asked Zhang Tie a question, "I wonder what Elder Mu Shen thought when he heard about Gu Qingyun of the Gu family just now?"

Zhang Tie was a little confused about what Elder Mu Yuan meant. He pondered for a few seconds before speaking, "Gu Qingyun of the Gu family is indeed a genius. Not only is he extremely talented, but he also has the support of the Gu family and Taixia Qi." It can be said that the great sect has no false disciples despite its great reputation."

"In this Youzhou, everyone knows that the Gu family has a genius named Gu Qingyun who is famous in Youzhou. Doesn't Elder Mu Shen want to replace him?"

Instead? Elder Mu Yuan's words really shocked Zhang Tie. To be honest, he really didn't have such a domineering thought.

Looking at Zhang Tie's somewhat astonished face, Elder Mu Yuan smiled. The smile was full of wisdom and sophistication, "Within the Huntian Orb, we must fight for the position of governor of Huaiyuantang. Why didn't Elder Mu Shen kill two birds with one stone and fight for himself? Think about it, Gu Qingyun became a war spirit at the age of 16 and became famous in Youzhou, and then he rose up the ladder step by step and became famous. Didn't Elder Mu Shen realize this? In the way of Taoism, there is more than enough loss. What is the rest? The word reputation. The wine, sex, wealth, fame, wealth, power, help and help in this world all revolve around the word reputation. To become a knight, the path of cultivation ahead will be more and more perfect. The narrower and steeper it is, the harder it is to climb up the alley, and the stronger the strength required. Whether it is in the Weiyi subcontinent or in Taixia, Elder Mu Shen can see that there are people who have never been known to climb to high places. Turn two, turn three, call?”

Zhang Tie was stunned and felt that the more he savored Elder Mu Yuan's words, the more infinite flavor they had.

"Looking at the history of five thousand years, there are very few unknown people who can achieve something! Is it something that is done or is it not done? Is it done by nature or man-made?" After leaving these last words with emotion, Elder Mu Yuan sighed and left. .

Zhang Tie stood stunned for a moment and bowed deeply to Elder Mu Yuan's back again...
