Chapter 32 Complex Relationships

The lord of Zhenna City is named Li Tianxing.

Yes, the Li royal family all have the surname Li. I don’t know whether the lord of Zhennan City did it intentionally or not. Li Tianxing’s name sounds homophonic, but it is very interesting.

Li Tianxing looks like he is in his thirties, has a fair complexion, a friendly smile, and a round and round appearance. He really looks like an ordinary businessman.

If they hadn't known about it in advance, few people would have guessed that this was the majestic Lord of Zhennan City and a member of the royal family of the past.

At this time, Li Tianxing was smiling and greeting the guests who came to congratulate him.

Even the sects like Wu Feng and others who were forcibly relocated treated them equally and did not show any arrogance because they were under their jurisdiction.

As for Wu Feng's table, Li Tianxing did not miss it and walked over to have a drink with each other.

From this point of view, Litianxing is also very people-friendly.

Regardless of whether he is born with such a personality or is deliberately pretending, Wu Feng's feeling in his heart is that this person is easier to deal with.

"Oops! Brother Wu, what you are doing is wrong. Why don't you call me brother for such a big and good thing?"

Just when everyone present was feeling quite comfortable and enjoying themselves, a voice came out from the gate.

Everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that the person who made the sound was a man who looked like a young master. However, this person was wearing a high-end armor from all over the world.

Since he is wearing military uniform, he must be the guardian of Zhenna City, Mr. Lei Penglai.

As the sound appeared, a sound also came from the other direction.

A fat man with a pale face and beardless body appeared on the other side with a smile.

"Oh my! It's rare for a few adults to show up together. I'm just thinking about a small business. How can I dare to work for the adults and deal with official business?"

Li Tianxing stood up quickly and said, "Now it's a bit rude for me to serve as an official."

This Li Tianxing kept his posture very low, completely without self-consciousness as the Lord of Zhennan City, and acted as if he was Tong Pang's subordinate.

It's okay for those who don't know, but those who know feel that this city lord is doing a cowardly job.

Li Tianxing was completely unaware of the thoughts of others and the onlookers. He just stepped forward diligently and led the young master to sit down at the top.

After some mutual humility, Tong Pang, the fair and tender fat man, took the first seat, while Ray-Ban took the second seat.

But thinking about it, if this big fat man is not unexpected, he should be the supervisor sent by King Li. Think about it, who dares to put the person who represents King Li in the first place?

In this way, there is no problem with this matter.

The fair and tender fat man is none other than the inspector stationed here by King Li, called Tong Pang.

And that young man was the garrison envoy Lei Pen, who came from a family of generals. He became the lord of a city at a young age.

"City Lord Li, what you did today is not authentic." As soon as the fat boy opened his mouth, he looked a little embarrassed.

Hearing what Tong Fat said, Li Tianxing's expression changed. It was clear that Tong Fat was deliberately using him to show off.

However, Li Tianxing's expression returned to normal immediately. If he hadn't paid close attention, he wouldn't have noticed the changes during the interview.

"How dare I call myself City Lord in front of Master Tong? Master Li, aren't you scolding me?"

Tian Xing kept his stance very low, "I will do whatever you say, sir. I must satisfy you."

Li Tianxing's words were very low-profile and humble. He placed himself in a very low position, so that the faces of his subordinates behind him didn't look good.

After all, Li Tianxing is their boss, but now he behaves like this in front of a palace official, and it will be difficult for them to behave well in the future.

Several of the young ones not only had their faces flushed, but also had resentment in their eyes. It seemed that they were likely to leave after today and no longer work for this cowardly city lord.

Seeing what Li Tianxing did, the fat boy rubbed his chin as if it had a beard, but did not give an answer for a long time.

But Li Tianxing, who always maintained a respectful attitude, kept waiting like this.

I don’t know if this fat boy did it on purpose or something, but he actually left Li Tianxing, the dignified Lord of Zhennan City, on the spot.

This was a real slap in the face in front of everyone.

The key is that Li Tianxing just kept his low profile and kept it that way, which made the people behind him even more indignant and unbelievable.

Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, the people under Li Tianxing today will definitely have a life-or-death feud with this fat boy.

If they can't let Tong Fat fall into a big fight, I'm afraid they will no longer be able to walk around in Zhennan City with the name of Zhennan City Lord in the future.

I don't know if Li Tianxing really didn't understand or if he did it on purpose. Anyway, this time he said that he was completely putting his subordinates on the opposite side of Tong Pang.

In the future, these people under him, for the sake of their own reputation, will have to fight with Tong Pang.

Tong Pang remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lei Ban watched for a long time and then smiled slightly: "Master Tong, you are wrong. Lord Licheng is sincerely apologizing. How can you say something? Treating Lord Licheng like this, this

It’s because I’m still angry!”

Fatty Tong rolled his strange eyes and glanced at Ray-Ban with a smile on his face.

"Master Lei, are you avenging the injustice of Licheng Lord?"

"Hahahaha, don't you dare." Lei Ban also laughed and said, but he didn't mean to dare at all.

To be honest, Lei Ban and Li Tianxing had no friendship or sympathy. A branch of the royal family was obviously the target of being squeezed out, and there was no need to fawn over them.

It's just that the south city of this town is located on the border. In King Li's plan to expand outward, Zhengna City will naturally become the base of advance. As the actual highest military commander, he naturally hopes to do something.

Unfortunately, the southern city of this town is not in the form of a pure military fortress, but a border town that pays equal attention to both the military and civilians.

This means that there are still civil servants in this city who are as important as him.

Even though it is slightly inferior to itself because it is in the form of a border, it is not far behind. The rights of both parties therefore have many overlaps and areas that need to be fought for.

This is related to the future expansion to the south, where there will be more benefits and the delineation of credit.

Therefore, in Lei-Ban's eyes, Li Tianxing is just like air.

The people who really compete with him are the civil officials here, that is, the herdsmen officials in Zhenna City.

Originally, the two of them were evenly matched, but for some reason, the inspector sent by King Li to supervise them, Tong Pang,...

This damn eunuch actually favored that damn herdsman officer, secretly or overtly, and hindered many of his things.

Therefore, when I saw Tong Pang and Li Tian were having trouble with their behavior this time, I decided to stir up trouble and make the two of them miserable.

Even if this Li Tianxing is a soft doll, he still feels disgusted with this fat boy and cannot let him go smoothly.

"Haha, City Lord Li, you are really mistaken. How could I, Tong Pang, give birth to the City Lord over such a trivial matter? I really regard the City Lord as a good friend!"

Then Tong Pang's face changed again, "But Lord Li, you don't consider me, Tong Pang, a friend!"

He turned to Ray-Ban and said, "It's useless for you to do this. We still have some understanding of each other when we make friends. It's not like you can sow discord with just a few words."

Lei Ban laughed loudly and pointed at Tongpang, but he coughed repeatedly and was speechless.

What a fat boy, he wants to be a good person, but he needs others to be a bad person. It seems that there are indeed many tracks in his head.

Tong Pang just looked at Ray-Ban, sneered and said nothing.

Lei-Ban laughed for a long time. Seeing Tong Pang's reaction, he was obviously a little embarrassed and couldn't bear it anymore. At this moment, he came to put out the fire.

"Lord Li, this is your fault. We are all officials in the same court, so why don't you invite me to come?"

Another official, about forty or fifty years old, wearing a green robe came in.

According to the regulations of the country, this military officer wears a red robe and the civil servants wear a green robe.

Needless to say, the official who came in was Zuo Qing, the herdsman official from Zhenna City.

Zuo Qing was originally an official in the capital, but he was transferred to Nancheng because of the collective wishes of the civil servants in the DPRK.

It turns out that although the Li kings in this dynasty were relatively powerful, the Li country had always had the Li kings sit on the throne, with the civil servants controlling the affairs of the country, and the military attachés only going on expeditions.

However, the previous Li Wang did not pay much attention to external expansion, so the strength of the military commanders was not great, but the strength of the civilian officials was extraordinary.

Even for a long period of time, it is not wrong to say that the Li king and the civil servants jointly governed the Li country.

It's just that the kings of this generation were relatively strong, and after gaining the support of military commanders, they did many things to capture some of the original civil servants' forces.

Under such circumstances, civil servants would of course have to resist.

When kings of Li quarreled with civil officials, they would of course turn to support the generals. However, the generals who founded the country were also divided into two categories. One type was those who followed the rules and were on the side of the nobles.

However, they and this King Li were on the same side.

Usually, these nobles are suppressed quite severely by the civil servants.

In addition, there are some border generals who are neither used by the kings nor favored by the civil officials, nor do they associate with the nobles. Instead, they do their own thing and form a force.

Lei Peng, the garrison envoy of Nancheng in this town, belongs to such a family of frontier generals.

In this way, the entire Zhenna City will have conflicts and constraints with each other, making it impossible for one family to dominate.

After clarifying this context, we can see the power of this Li King.

He actually doesn't trust anyone, does cheer you, make good use of these people.

Although it is not very good in terms of unity, here in Zhenna City, obedience to the court is guaranteed.
