Faced with the question of a real person, even Sangbuyundan, the Lord of Shunzhou, could only swallow his anger and explain carefully.
I was afraid of offending Mr. Xuezhen.
"...That Guojie is a local giant, very bold and arrogant... I will definitely send troops to destroy it, stabilize the place, and prevent Longcuo from being invaded again..."
If Guojie heard what Sangbuyundan said, he would probably be angry to death, if not frightened to death.
I was staying at home in the village and was at ease. When did I go to fight the dragon and get the wrong one?
You are a dignified military governor, and you want me to take the blame for you? Even if you let me take the blame, you still have to give me a way to survive, right?
Xuezhenren wears a strange and ancient silkworm face mask, and her expression cannot be seen.
But when she heard Sang Buyundan's explanation, the powerful and terrifying aura became even colder, like heavy snow covering the sky.
She didn't speak, but just standing there was like an iceberg, towering over everyone's hearts, making them breathless.
Sang Buyundan and others suddenly felt chills stand on end.
They had forgotten to be afraid for many years. But now, the long-lost feeling of fear seized their hearts again.
"Sir, it is indeed a misunderstanding..."
Sambuyundan said dryly, swallowing hard, "Today I and others are here to clarify the misunderstanding..."
The Lord of Shunzhou actually stammered when he spoke, and Qianqian Ai Ai. The calm look on his face was almost unbearable.
When Lan Ze saw his father, who had always been aloof and majestic, now so humble and cowardly, he felt a sense of joy in his heart for some reason.
Dad, my daughter thought you were a condor in the sky and not afraid of anything.
It turns out that you are also afraid sometimes.
Luo Ning looked at these trembling Shunzhou senior officials and couldn't help but feel happy.
Haha, aren’t you masters and Buddhas very awesome?
Isn’t he the ruler of Shunzhou?
For many years, you have occupied the land, resources, and power of the Western Fan, and have controlled the life, death, honor, and disgrace of nine million people. You are all arrogant and domineering.
Now, why do you obediently come to my territory and humble yourself in front of a fake real person?
"Huh." Master Xue snorted coldly, which made everyone's hearts tremble.
"I wanted to see my disciple before leaving, but I didn't expect him to be bullied here."
"Ning'er."
Luo Ning immediately saluted, "Master."
When Xuezhenren spoke to Luo Ning, his tone was finally no longer indifferent, but more gentle.
"What's there to do for this mere city lord? Why don't you travel around with me as your master?"
"The world is so vast that you can't even visit it in your lifetime. Why are you so obsessed with worldly wealth and honor that you want to be the Lord of Laoshizi City?"
Luo Ning said respectfully: "Master, this disciple is also experiencing the world of mortals. Didn't the master first become the sect leader, then leave the mountain gate and travel around the world?"
"The great road is pure, while the mortal world is turbid. Only by turning from turbidity to purity can we cut off the worldly ties."
"Only when a disciple knows wealth and honor can he give up wealth and honor, and abandon wealth and honor like a pair of shoes. Only when he knows power can he not be obsessed by power."
"Master once said that fame and fame can obscure your vision, and wealth and honor are just clouds. How can I understand my heart and my true nature unless I understand it personally?"
"Master, please grant me your permission."
These words were very clear and everyone understood them.
Master Xue wanted to take Luo Ning on a journey, but Luo Ning wanted to experience the world of mortals and experience fame and wealth.
From what he said, it seems that he will not always be the city lord, nor does he have any ambitions.
Also, this Master Xue was some kind of sect leader before.
What kind of force does she come from? Sect leader, it sounds very simple.
Luo Ning must not be offended easily!
Master Xue sighed slightly, "You have always had your own opinion, and I won't make things difficult for you as a teacher. Let me ask you, how long do you want to be this city lord?"
Luo Ning muttered: "My disciple knows what Master means. I hope Master will give me ten years. Within ten years, I will no longer be the lord of this city and will definitely leave Shunzhou."
Master Xue nodded, "Ning'er, you are still young, but fame, wealth, and love between men and women are the most corrosive to people's hearts. You have an appointment for ten years, but my teacher is afraid that you will still be in love by then."
Luo Ning said seriously: "My disciple swears that within ten years, he will no longer be the city lord and will definitely leave Shunzhou!"
"Okay." Master Xuezhen nodded, "This is what you said, I will remember it. If you violate your oath, you will no longer be my successor and you are not worthy of being my disciple."
When Sangbuyundan and others heard this, they felt relieved.
ten years!
Luo Ning is leaving after all!
Young people like to mess around, so what if we let them fool around for ten years?
But Luo Ning said: "Master, don't worry about your disciple. Disciple is your master's disciple. Even if your cultivation level is not high now, you will never be bullied by anyone."
"Master, please don't worry about me. You can just go on a wander."
"Besides, there are really not many people in the world who would dare to harm me unless my whole family is buried with me."
Master Xuezhen shook his head, "I'm not worried about you being such a fool, so I still have to stay for a while longer."
After saying that, she looked at Sang Buyundan and others, "You are the landlords of Shunzhou, and my disciple is a guest. If he has any shortcomings, huh..."
When Sangbuyundan and others heard this eerie "hum", their hearts were shaken.
"Don't worry, Lord Zhenjun." Sangbuyundan expressed his position hurriedly.
"Lord Luo City is a disciple of the true king and a retainer of the princess. Who dares to touch him? If anyone does anything bad to Lord Luo City and Long Cuogui again, we will never sit idly by and watch..."
Xuezhen didn't pay any attention to Sangbuyundan and others, and hid in the city lord's palace.
However, the fearful and terrifying pressure before has also disappeared.
Sambuyundan and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone broke into a cold sweat.
fine.
Although Master Xuezhen didn't want to pay attention to them, he had no intention of getting things done.
As long as you and Luo Ning turn their differences into friendship, then everything will be fine.
They could see that Master Xue was very fond of Luo Ning, his disciple.
If Luo Ning is touched and Master Xue is offended, it will be an unbearable price for any of them.
"Don't worry, Commander Jie, my master is in a good mood today, otherwise he wouldn't show up." Luo Ning smiled and smoked a dry cigarette, "Please come this way!"
………
Luo Ning took Sangbuyundan and others into the city lord's palace, and Sangbulanze in the carriage naturally followed.
When we arrived at the Return Hall in the front yard, the banquet had already been arranged.
After all, Sangbuyundan is the lord of Shunzhou. Since he came in person, at least there is still a reception banquet.
When everyone was seated, Luo Ning said straight to the point:
"Commander Jie, everyone, last time a large group of bandits attacked, I, Long Cuo, led an army with few generals, and almost suffered a catastrophe."
"How can this Longcuo territory, which is hundreds of miles away and has a population of 14.5 million people, not be guarded by thousands of soldiers and horses?"
"Nowadays, the world is uneasy, and nowhere is peaceful. Let's just say that in Shunzhou, there are not one hundred thousand but eighty thousand bandits who are kings of the mountains. There are so many demons and monsters. How can I defend these three hundred soldiers?"
"So my master is worried about me and won't want to leave for a while. As long as she is here, I will be restrained and I won't be able to do anything freely."
Sang Buyundan and others secretly said: "It's not just you who can't let go? We are too. When will your real master get out? He won't stay with you until you become the city lord and leave Shunzhou, right?"
Everyone suddenly became nervous, wondering what conditions Luo Ning would offer next.
To be fair, it is indeed difficult for 300 troops to defend the entire Longcuo Territory.
But Luo Ning continued: "If Long Cuo is wrong in taking it, how can I explain it to the princess? Jun Shuai, Long Cuo is the princess's dowry territory!"
Sangbuyundan showed a bitter smile. As smart as he was, how could he not know what this Xia boy was thinking?
He decided to give away his daughter Lanze first so that Luo Ning's conditions would be lower and he would be embarrassed to ask for too much.
It can't be said to be unsmart.
"Lan Ze." Sang Buyundan immediately changed the subject and looked at Lan Ze beside him, "Why don't you propose a toast to Lord Luo City?"
"Didn't you admire City Lord Luo for a long time and say that he is a rare young hero? Isn't it that you asked me to bring you here this time just to get to know Lord City of Luo?"
Lan Ze was stunned.
Dad, what did I say?
I said that I have admired Luo Ning for a long time? I said that Luo Ning is a young hero. I begged you to bring me to Longcuo City? I want to know Luo Ning?
For a moment, Lan Ze felt that his father was not only fickle, but also a bit shameless!
