Donglin City can only be regarded as a small city within the area of Lanqu County City. The position of the city lord of such a city should not be very important.
No matter what, Jing Yan needs to give it a try. Even if he can't get the position of city lord, he can't let a member of the Wen family become the city lord of Donglin City.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Donglin City, Huo Chunyang, disappeared a few months ago and his whereabouts are still unknown. I wonder if the new Lord of Donglin City has been chosen?" Jing Yan asked tentatively.
He already knew from Mu Liantian that the candidate for the city master of Donglin City was almost an elder of the Wen family. But in front of Zhou Shangyun at this time, it was best for him to pretend not to know, so as not to arouse Zhou Shangyun's resentment
.
Zhou Shangyun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jing Yan. He knew that Jing Yan was from Donglin City, there was a Jing family in Donglin City, and Jing Yan was a descendant of the Jing family. Recently, the Jing family had a relationship with another family in Donglin City, the Zhao family.
The Zhao family launched a war, and eventually the Zhao family was destroyed. There was no vacancy for the mayor of Donglin City, and I'm afraid the Jing family's eyes were also on it.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Shangyun understood Jing Yan's thoughts.
"The candidate for the lord of Donglin City has already been selected, and he is Elder Wen Song of the Wen family. What, Jing Yan, do you have any ideas about the lord of Donglin City?" Zhou Shangyun asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty the County King!"
"I will tell the truth. This Wen family has a grudge against me. If the Wen family is allowed to go to Donglin City to serve as the city lord, it will definitely pose a threat to the development of the Jing family. I asked Manager Mulian Tian to take me into the Prince's Mansion just because I wanted to see him.
Lord Prince, I hope you can change your mind."
"I know that I speak softly, but for the sake of the development of my family, I can only be brave enough to plead." Jing Yan did not think that the prince was unaware of what was happening in Donglin City.
Zhou Shangyun should have known for a long time that the Wen family has a relationship with the Zhao family. Because the Zhao family was destroyed and the two elders of the Wen family in the Daoling realm died, the Wen family was active in Lanqu County at all costs in order to control Donglin City.
After hearing Jing Yan's words, Zhou Shangyun nodded and his expression became more serious.
"Do you have any suggestions for the candidate for the city master of Donglin City? Jing Yan, you have done me a big favor this time. If you can recommend a suitable candidate, I can agree to it," Zhou Shangyun said.
Zhou Shangyun didn't attach much importance to the choice of the city master of Donglin City. Whether it was someone from the Wen family or someone recommended by Jing Yan, it made no difference to him personally.
The difficulty lies mainly in the pressure from the Wen family and several big aristocratic families. The Wen family made great sacrifices in order to obtain the position of city lord, and persuaded several other aristocratic families in Lanqu County to recommend the Wen family elder Wen Song.
As the lord of Donglin City. If Zhou Shangyun suddenly changes his mind and changes his mind to someone else, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Wen family and several aristocratic families.
However, in order to repay Jing Yan's favor, he had no choice but to act arbitrarily once again.
Jing Yan's eyes lit up slightly. When he heard Zhou Shangyun ask this question, Jing Yan knew there was something going on.
As for when to choose...
Jing Yan himself definitely does not have time to serve as the city lord of Donglin City. If he wants to serve as the city lord, he must return to Donglin City to take charge, which is obviously inappropriate.
As his mind raced, Jing Yan thought of a candidate.
"Your Excellency, I think Jing Tianying, the elder of the Jing family, should be qualified for the job. Although Jing Tianying is still at the peak of the innate realm, with the support of the family, he should still be able to convince the public." Jing Yan considered it.
.
Jing Tianying is currently at the peak of Xiantian, but with Jing Tianying's talent, if sufficient resources are obtained, the hope of being promoted to the Taoist realm in the future is quite high.
"Well!" Zhou Shangyun said thoughtfully, "The cultivation level of the peak innate realm is indeed a bit weak. But fortunately, with the support of your family, you can control Donglin City. Okay, then I will let you, the elder of the Jing family,
Become the city lord of Donglin City. But I’ll be the first to say something ugly. If Donglin City is turned into a mess, I will be held accountable."
"Please rest assured, Lord Prince, I guarantee that Donglin City will develop better and better. However, I am a little worried about the Wen family. If the Wen family takes revenge, Donglin City may not be able to stop it," Jing Yan said.
.
"You kid!" Zhou Shangyun smiled and glared at Jing Yan.
"I will warn the Wen family." Zhou Shangyun shook his head gently and said.
"Thank you, Lord Prince!" Jing Yan quickly thanked him.
Today, Donglin City has been controlled by the Jing family, and with Jing Tianying becoming the lord of Donglin City, Donglin City can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. As long as there are no powerful forces like the Wen family, Donglin City will continue to grow.
Continuous development is never difficult.
"Okay, you go and have a rest! During this period of time, you are temporarily staying in the Prince's Mansion. I will tell you when the matter of becoming the lord of Donglin City is confirmed." Zhou Shangyun waved to Jing Yan.
Zhou Shangyun became more and more satisfied with Jing Yan. Although Jing Yan gave him a difficult problem this time, Jing Yan's stability made Zhou Shangyun very satisfied.
If Jing Yan is the kind of arrogant person who sticks to his head when he achieves a little bit of success, maybe Zhou Shangyun will agree to Jing Yan's request, but the friendship between the two may be gone in the future.
"Yes!" Jing Yan responded, suppressing his joy, turned around and left quickly.
The problem of Donglin City was successfully solved, and a big stone in Jing Yan's heart was also removed.
During this period of time, I was living in the Prince's Mansion, so I could try practicing Nine Suns Connecting Heaven to see how effective this top-notch body-refining secret method was.
"Jing Yan!"
Just before Jing Yan returned to the house where he was temporarily living, he saw Bai Xue in a white dress waiting there.
"Baixue City Lord." Jing Yan stepped forward to greet him.
"Grandpa, thank you." Bai Xue looked at Jing Yan.
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." Jing Yan said with a smile.
"You are at Daoyi College, has anyone given you any trouble?" Bai Xue asked instead.
Jing Yan was slightly startled.
Bai Xue seems to want to say that if someone in Daoyi College makes trouble for her, she will help her stand up!
I had been to the First Academy for a long time, and I did encounter trouble some time ago. However, this trouble has been solved by Fang Ruoyu.
"No one from Daoyi College has troubled me." Jing Yan smiled.
"Well, that's good." Bai Xue nodded, "That's okay, I'm leaving. I will return to Duanyang City tomorrow. If you want to see me in the future, you can go to Duanyang City to find me."
With that said, Bai Xue turned around and left.
Jing Yan looked at Bai Xue's back and thought, he really has a straightforward and decisive character.
Shaking his head, Jing Yan entered the room where he lived temporarily, the same room where he had previously refined Prodan and Mizuki Pill.
