In addition to accommodating people from the city lord's family, the guards also live in the city lord's mansion on weekdays.
Therefore, the city lord's palace is very large, and the school grounds for guard training are naturally very large, so they can accommodate many people.
The former lord of Yancheng was named Xie Hong, who was also the former head of the Xie family. The current head of the Xie family and the current lord of Yancheng was Xie Hong's wife Liao Qingyuan.
In the Xia Kingdom, each city has a guard army, and this guard army is managed by the city lord of each city.
This city lord has always been selected by the leaders of the Changying Army from among the heads of the big families in each city.
Once selected, this family will have the management rights of a city, but also have the added responsibility of protecting the city.
Once the city lord is chosen, the next city lord will also be selected from that family. The new head of the family will be the new city lord.
Therefore, the choice of the head of the family must not only obtain the support of the family, but also need the consent of at least three of the four leaders of the Changying Army before taking office.
If the family insists on choosing someone who does not agree with the leader of the Changying Army to be the head of the family, the Changying Army will choose a new city leader from other families.
In addition, if the city lord makes a mistake, the leader of the Changying Army has the right to depose him as the family leader and city lord. Similarly, the abolition order also requires the consent of at least three leaders.
Three years ago, during the battle with the Tongtian Sect, the former head of the Xie family, Xie Hong, passed away.
After Xie Hong's death, the Yancheng Guards were without a leader for a while. After discussion among the four of them, Su Yunling decided to let his wife Liao Qingyuan temporarily act as the city leader.
Unexpectedly, Liao Qingyuan's management ability was not inferior to Xie Hong's, so Liao Qingyuan became the city lord for three years.
At present, except for some people in the Xie family who are not convinced by the female head of the family with a foreign surname, Su Yunling and others are very satisfied with the city lord.
Although Liao Qingyuan is a girl with a different surname, she is Xie Hong's wife and a member of the Xie family, so the city lord's mansion in Yancheng is still the residence of the Xie family.
The recruitment competition is also held at Xie's house.
Su Yunling had something to deal with and had to come over later, so it was Tang Yichen who brought Gu Zhiqi to the City Lord's Mansion.
When the two arrived at Xie's house, it was almost nine o'clock. Because it was the first day of the competition and there was a kick-off ceremony, the competition did not start until ten o'clock, so the competition had not officially started yet.
As soon as the two of them entered the city lord's mansion, someone came up to talk to Tang Yichen.
When Gu Zhiqi saw a group of people coming around, he immediately stepped aside and stood aside.
When Tang Yichen saw this, he immediately glanced at her and saw Gu Zhiqi leaning on a pillar nearby, with an expression like "You're busy, I'll wait for you here."
Therefore, Tang Yichen planned to chat with these people for a few words and then find an opportunity to escape. Otherwise, as soon as he left, these people would definitely follow him.
The position where Tang Yichen was surrounded was not far from the gate. Anyone who had just entered could see Tang Yichen at a glance.
As soon as the head of the Yu family walked into the door, he saw Tang Yichen.
The head of the Yu family paused, then immediately straightened his expression and glanced sideways at Yu Hanxing, "It's Tang Yichen. Come on, I'll take you over to get to know him."
When Yu Hanxing heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and then he stepped up to follow the head of the Yu family.
Seeing this, Yu Weiyin on the side immediately stepped up to follow.
Tang Yichen was surrounded by people, and he didn't know whose question he should answer. Suddenly, someone pushed aside the crowd and came to him.
"Fourth Master, long time no see."
As the voice fell, the surrounding area was quiet for a few seconds, and then everyone else looked at the head of the Yu family.
When the group of people saw the head of the Yu family, they subconsciously took a few steps back, and then greeted him one after another.
Tang Yichen naturally knew the head of the Yu family, so he gently nodded to him and politely replied, "Master Yu, long time no see."
The head of the Yu family stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Hanxing, signaling him to say hello to Tang Yichen.
However, Yu Hanxing did not move. The head of the Yu family glanced at him and found that Yu Hanxing was staring straight in a certain direction. Following his gaze, the head of the Yu family saw a very delicate and beautiful girl.
