After hearing Jing Chengye's words, the expressions of all the elders changed slightly.
Although everyone knows that what is supposed to come will always come, but when it does come, everyone still cannot calm down.
The special envoy from the Prince's Palace came to Donglin City, obviously to announce the appointment of the new city lord.
Perhaps, the new city lord will also come with him. Once the appointment of the city lord is announced, the new city lord will immediately take office and take control of Donglin City.
"Clan leader, has the special envoy arrived in Donglin City?" the second elder of the Jing family asked with a heavy expression.
"Well, we've already arrived outside Donglin City, and we should be entering the city now!" Jing Chengye nodded.
"Is the new city lord really the elder Wen family?"
During this period, the Jing family also received news that the new city lord might be an elder of the Wen family. The Wen family was the force behind the destroyed Zhao family, which was also the hostile force of the Jing family. During the battle between the Jing family and the Zhao family
, the Zhao family also sent two powerful men in the Daoling Realm to help the Zhao family. If the Wen family elders were to serve as the lord of Donglin City, it is conceivable that the Jing family would have a difficult life in the future.
Although the Jing family is now considered to be in control of Donglin City, the city lord is the city lord, with a large number of armored guards and official status, which is enough to restrict the development of the Jing family, and even cause the Jing family to gradually decline.
"Just take it one step at a time!"
"Even if the Wen family elder is really the city lord, so what? Not long ago, the Zhao family and my Jing family went to war. Who thinks that my Jing family can win? In the end, isn't it the Zhao family that will be destroyed?"
"Yes! It's not that easy to get rid of our Jing family! Our Jing family currently has dozens of Xiantian realm warriors, and it will definitely exceed a hundred in the future. Even the city lord cannot completely ignore the strength of my Jing family."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it.
"Everyone, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to greet you!" Jing Chengye said in a solemn voice.
He called all the family elders over and was going to take them to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the special envoy and see who the new City Lord was. If he was really an elder from the Wen family, he would have to make plans in advance!
"Um!"
"Okay, let's go meet the special envoy and the new city lord."
Jing Chengye and the Jing family elders all left the family residence and came outside the city lord's mansion.
Other families in Donglin City also quickly got the news about this matter, and some secret discussions continued to ferment and spread in the city.
Nowadays in Donglin City, no one or force can compete with the Jing family head-on. Dozens of families, large and small, all perform their duties honestly, but if we say that all the families are of the same mind as the Jing family, then
It’s also self-deception.
There are many families among them who hope that the Jing family will suffer. These families are also waiting for the arrival of the new city lord.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Jing Chengye and others were waiting quietly. Even Lu Qin and Shi Xuan also walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. After the new City Lord arrives, they will leave the City Lord's Mansion.
Finally, a Tianyan car drove slowly and stopped in front of everyone.
A middle-aged warrior who looked to be in his forties or fifties stepped out of the carriage.
He is the special envoy from the Prince's Palace to Donglin City to announce the selection of the new city master. Jing Yan knows this person. When he followed Mulian Tian into the Prince's Palace, he saw this person outside the reception room. Later, after Jing Yan finished refining alchemy
, it was he who took Jing Yan to see the county king Zhou Shangyun.
"Is this sir coming from Lanqu County?" Jing Chengye and others hurried forward to greet him.
Jing Chengye raised his hands in greeting and asked.
"My name is Zhou Che, and I come from the Duke's Palace." Zhou Che looked at Jing Chengye and others and said with a smile.
"Are you all from the Jing family?" Zhou Che naturally had a certain understanding of the situation in Donglin City before he came.
Zhou Che also knew that Jing Yan was from the Jing family. Nowadays, the king of the county treated Jing Yan with great courtesy. He even appointed the elder of the Jing family as the lord of Donglin City because of Jing Yan's relationship.
Therefore, in front of the Jing family, Zhou Che did not put on any airs, but seemed very cordial.
Hearing Zhou Che's tone, Jing Chengye and others' hearts moved slightly. Judging from the meaning, the special envoy seemed to be very warm to the Jing family!
Jing Chengye looked at Zhou Che and then at the carriage of Tianyan Car. No second person came out of the carriage. Could it be that the new city lord didn't come with the special envoy?
The thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, and Jing Chengye said quickly, "I am Jing Chengye, the head of the Jing family. I have met Mr. Zhou Che, the special envoy."
"Haha, no need to be polite." Zhou Che waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I came here this time because Huo Chunyang, the original lord of Donglin City, has been missing for several months. Donglin City needs a new city lord to manage it, so I brought the appointment letter of the new city lord from the prince." Zhou Che said slowly.
.
Jing Chengye and others said nothing, waiting for Zhou Che to continue.
Zhou Che flipped his palm gently, and then there was a golden booklet.
This booklet is the appointment letter of the new city lord of Donglin City.
Jing Chengye and others looked calm on their faces, but they were inevitably a little nervous. If the new city lord was the Wen family, then the Jing family would have to be prepared for a long-term struggle.
Speaking of which, even if the Jing family is very powerful now, the contest with the City Lord's Mansion may still end in the Jing family's defeat.
"Now, I am announcing the appointment of the Lord of Donglin City by the Lord County Prince!"
"Zhou Shangyun, the king of Lanqu County, appointed Jing Tianying of the Jing family as the new city lord of Donglin City." Zhou Che's voice reached the ears of everyone present.
The appointment letter is very short, only this sentence.
But when Jing Chengye and others heard this, their eyes widened.
It's unbelievable, it feels like a dream.
The new city lord, Jing Tianying?
Jing Tianying, who was standing behind Jing Chengye, also looked surprised. He had never thought that he could become the lord of Donglin City.
Jing Tianying stared at Jing Chengye and the other elders. They all had similar expressions. Only then did he become convinced that he had heard correctly.
What Special Envoy Zhou Che said was that he was indeed appointed as the new city lord of Donglin City.
The whole scene was silent for several breaths, and no one reacted for a moment. No one thought that the new city owner would be Jing Tianying, the elder of the Jing family.
There were rumors before that the new city lord will be an elder from the Wen family in Lanqu County. Although the rumors are not 100% certain, everyone thinks that even if the new city lord is not an elder from the Wen family, he will definitely be from Lanqu County.
A big shot from the city, a strong man in the Taoist realm.
As for Jing Tianying, he is currently only at the peak innate realm and has not yet been promoted to Dao Ling. Generally speaking, the city lord of a city needs Dao Ling realm cultivation. He is too weak and cannot control the city at all.
"Is the Lord Jingtianying here?" Zhou Che saw that no one spoke for a while. He coughed lightly and asked again.
"My special envoy, I am Jing Tianying!" Jing Tianying said as he took a few steps forward.
"City Lord Jingtianying, congratulations!" Zhou Che walked to Jingtianying and handed the appointment letter to Jingtianying, "From now on, the management of Donglin City will be your responsibility."
Zhou Che was smiling and enthusiastic.
"Yes!" Jing Tianying took the appointment letter.
"Well, City Lord Jingtianying and Chief Jingchengye, the appointment reading has ended, and the appointment letter has been handed over to the new City Lord. It's time for me to go back," Zhou Che said.
He has no intention of staying in Donglin City any longer. There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the Prince's Mansion.
"Special Envoy Zhou Che, why is it that I, the elder of the Jing family, have been appointed as the new city lord? Your Lord, do you also know that I, the elder of the Jing family, Jing Tianying?" Jing Chengye still couldn't hold it back.
The new city lord is the Jing family, so he is naturally very happy, but if this doubt is not solved, it will be really uncomfortable. Others also looked at Zhou Che, and it was obvious that everyone had this doubt. It was Jing.
Tianying herself was completely confused.
The prince may know about the existence of the Jing family, but does the prince also know about Jing Tianying, a warrior at the peak of his innate realm? Not only does he know about it, the prince also appoints Jing Tianying as the new city lord!
"Haha, I don't know the specific situation very well. However, it should be related to your Jing family's Jing Yan." Zhou Che smiled.
He could understand the confusion of the Jing family! If it hadn't been for Jing Yan's appearance, this new city lord would never have fallen on the Jing family's head.
He couldn't tell the details. But there was no harm in letting the Jing family know that it was because of Jing Yan that the prince appointed Jing Tianying as the lord of Donglin City.
After hearing Zhou Che's words, everyone was slightly startled.
Jing Yan?
In the previous battle with the Zhao family, Jing Yan came back in time and turned the tide with his own efforts. Now the appointment of the new city lord is actually related to Jing Yan? Jing Yan can make the prince of the county appoint the Jing family elder as Donglin.
The new city lord?
Everyone's hearts are filled with ups and downs! Jing Yan's pace seems to be getting faster and faster. Now, even the prince can be affected.
"Everyone, I'll take my leave then. See you later!" Zhou Che bowed his hands to everyone.
"Farewell, your special envoy!" Jing Chengye, Jing Tianying and others all said in unison.
Everyone watched Zhou Che get into the Tianyan car, which quickly left and disappeared on the street.
From the time Zhou Che got off the Tianyan carriage to the appointment of the new city lord, it was less than a cup of tea. But within this cup of tea, the situation of the Jing family seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, the Jing family relied on their family strength to temporarily control Donglin City. But now, the Jing family has completely controlled Donglin City. In the future, who in the Donglin City area will dare to go against the Jing family? That is definitely seeking death.
Lu Qin, Shi Xuan and others who were in the rear stepped forward at this time. They also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the new city lord is a member of the Wen family or someone else from Lanqu County, then Lu Qin and others will be in a very bad situation. Lu Qin and others are already on the same boat as the Jing family, and the new city lord
They will definitely not let them go when dealing with the Jing family. Now that they know that the new city lord is Jing Tianying, their pressure will naturally disappear like the Jing family.
