Of course, Qin Wentian could also imagine this. He was a bandit after all, and the bandit leader Ye Qianyu was still a prisoner, but he became the leader of a party.
It's just a matter of becoming the commander of one party. As soon as he took office, he killed all three deputy commanders, which can be called the eradication of dissidents. Moreover, they were killed in a dignified manner, and all the three deputy commanders committed were capital crimes.
Therefore, it was strange that the commanders could like Qin Wentian.
"Commander Xiahou, don't worry about it anymore." Qin Wentian responded with a smile, and he didn't fall out with the other party. It was calm, but what he meant was that it had nothing to do with you.
Xia Hou raised his brows and said coldly: "The issue of tribute is related to the Palace Master and even to the Realm Lord. If you, Beicheng District, are seriously holding back, what will the Realm Lord think of you like this? He will only think that I am Li Huocheng.
The commanders are doing things poorly, Qin Wentian, please use your brain more when doing things in the future, and don't just know the brutal killing methods of bandits and become a prisoner."
Qin Wentian's eyes instantly turned cold. Although he was a commander, his status was indeed very embarrassing. Therefore, he wanted to keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble, but he was definitely not afraid of trouble. This Xiahou, relying on his qualifications as an old commander, went straight to the point where people hurt.
, it can be said to be an insult to him.
"The palace master and the commander-in-chief are responsible for the tribute. If you want to blame, it is not Xiahou's turn to lead you. You should take care of your own affairs. You are not qualified to point fingers at me." Qin Wentian replied coldly.
It didn't give Xiahou any face at all.
"You are presumptuous." Xia Hou scolded, and a violent majesty was released from his body. Qin Wentian looked at him unceremoniously. When Xiao Meiren saw this scene, her beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance. She really has personality. She likes this.
The man is much better than that pretty boy Yin Qiu.
"That's enough." An indifferent voice came. Everyone turned around instantly and looked into the void. Then they saw several figures walking towards this side. The leader was the Palace Master of Lihuo Palace.
Next to him, there was a middle-aged man with a calm and peaceful aura. He was wearing simple clothes, but he gave off a very powerful feeling.
This person, Zhuge Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Lihuo City, is a very powerful person. He is at the peak of Immortal Emperor cultivation and the confidant of the Palace Master of Lihuo. He commands the entire Lihuo City. The five commanders are all his direct subordinates.
Behind Palace Master Lihuo, there are two maids, both of whom have extraordinary temperament, are at the level of Immortal Emperor cultivation, and are extremely beautiful. These are the Palace Master's personal attendants, and are naturally the Palace Master's women, with as much power as Palace Master Lihuo.
, he will naturally know how to enjoy himself, and how can he be without a beautiful woman around him? She must not only be beautiful, but also powerful enough, and also considerate, otherwise, she will not be able to serve him all the time.
"Meet the palace lord, meet the chief commander." Each commander bowed and said. As for the two maids, they would maintain enough respect, but after all, they had no status, and there was no need to go out of their way to pay homage.
"Yes." Palace Master Lihuo nodded and said, "It's time to pay tribute again. This time, thank you for your hard work."
"You should do things for the Palace Chief." Commander Xiahou bowed and said.
"Okay, you two will collect the tribute items, count them, and then take out 10% and give them to the commanders." Palace Master Lihuo said to the two maids beside him.
The two maids stepped forward, and the five commanders immediately presented the things to them and bowed slightly, showing great respect and not daring to be a little bit arrogant.
The tributes collected by each commander's office must be recorded in files and handed over together, and a copy should be kept in the commander's office. Generally speaking, the commander's office does not have the courage to embezzle it. If it is embezzled, it is directly a death penalty. It is absolutely not allowed.
There will be even the slightest tolerance. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable. Otherwise, if so many people below embezzle the property of the world lord, what's the point?
"Palace Master, Qin Wentian is guilty." Qin Wentian spoke frankly about this matter. Palace Master Lihuo looked at him and said, "What crime?"
"Due to the rectification of the Commander's Office, the control of Beicheng District was delayed, and many forces were unwilling to pay tribute. This time, the tribute collected by Beicheng District was very small, and the subordinates were guilty. They did not dare to pay 10% of the tribute.
Yes, if the palace master punishes me, there will be no complaints." Qin Wentian said modestly.
The Lord of Lihuo Palace nodded: "The tributes from Beicheng District are the lowest every time. Naturally, I understand this. When you first went there, you had to rectify your subordinates. How dare the three deputy commanders assassinate you?
It's so audacious. Speaking of which, I put you in that position and wronged you. What's the crime?"
The eyes of the other commanders flickered. The palace master was really polite to Qin Wentian. But when they thought about the palace master's plan, everyone understood. After all, everyone knew the reason why the palace master Lihuo put Qin Wentian in that position.
For tribute, but because of the Helan clan.
But tribute will definitely be the lead. Therefore, if Qin Wentian is smart, he should know what to do in the future. Otherwise, if he is of no use, what will the palace owner do with the people of Qianyu Palace?
"Thank you very much, Palace Master, for your understanding. I hope that the Palace Master will give me some time. I guarantee that the tribute from Beicheng District will be normal by then." Qin Wentian said. This is what he wanted to say. He needs time.
If the giant Helan clan wants to fight against them, both his own strength and that of his subordinates are still too weak.
"Oh?" Palace Master Lihuo showed an interesting look and said with a smile: "Since you are so confident, I ask you how long you want."
"One hundred years, my subordinates guarantee that among all the forces in Beicheng District, no force will dare to pay less tribute." Qin Wentian bowed and said. He didn't know how long it would take, but one hundred years is what he wanted.
To buy some time, in this case, at least within this hundred years, the Lord of Lihuo Palace will not touch him or Ye Qianyu.
The Lord of Lihuo Palace stared at Qin Wentian, but Zhuge Xiong said next to him: "What will happen if you don't do what you said in a hundred years?"
"Let the palace master do whatever he wants." Qin Wentian bowed and said.
"The Palace Master values you very much and is not willing to deal with you. However, you are my subordinate. Since you dare to promise the Palace Master, then if you fail to do it in a hundred years, I will deal with Ye Qianyu. If you
If we do, I will plead with the palace master on behalf of Ye Qianyu, what do you think?" Zhuge Xiong said with a smile.
Looking at Zhuge Xiong's wise eyes, Qin Wentian nodded and said, "Okay."
One hundred years is a long time for Qin Wentian. He doesn't want it to really take that long, but he must make the time as long as possible. But for the Lord of Lihuo Palace, one hundred years is actually not that long.
That's just ten tributes. It has taken him too many hundred years to reach his current state of cultivation.
"Since Commander Zhuge has said it, I will wait and see." Palace Master Lihuo said with a smile. Although Qin Wentian did not make any achievements after taking office, he killed the three lieutenants, which still made Palace Master Lihuo quite happy.
Satisfied, he hoped that Qin Wentian was such a person so that he could help him remove some of the Helan clan's power.
The Lord of Lihuo Palace met everyone, chatted for a while and then left. With his status, he naturally did not need to stay here for too long. He only needed an interview. The two maids returned 10% of the tribute.
In the hands of everyone, Qin Wentian's did not fall, and Qin Wentian did not refuse.
"Commander Qin, would you like to come and sit with me?" Xiao Meiren winked at Qin Wentian, her arms almost touching him. However, everyone had already known how this Xiao Meiren was, so they were not surprised.
, only Yin Qiu was unhappy. In fact, he and Xiao Meiren were kindred spirits, and they had always coveted Xiao Meiren's beauty.
"No, I have to go back and reorganize the commander's office." Qin Wentian refused with a smile.
"Then if I have a chance, can I go to the Beicheng District Commander's Mansion to find you?" Xiao Meiren seemed to have known that Qin Wentian would refuse, and giggled.
"If Commander Xiao is interested, he can do it at any time. I'm afraid Qin will not entertain him well."
"As long as you personally entertain me." Xiao Meiren leaned against Qin Wentian's arm. Qin Wentian stepped away slightly. Then he saw Xiao Meiren giggle and leave through the air. Her long skirt fluttered and her white legs were extremely beautiful.
Tempting.
"Xiao Meiren, wait for me." Yin Qiu chased after her directly.
"Humph." Xia Hou glanced at Qin Wentian coldly, snorted coldly, and then left.
Lin Ba glanced at Qin Wentian, nodded with a smile, and left. Finally, Qin Wentian left in a blink of an eye. He turned around and glanced in a certain direction. That was the direction of Lihuo Prison. He never dared to forget it.
, there are still people inside waiting for him to rescue.
She must be very unaccustomed to that dark, humid and gloomy place. Although the girl was always smiling and charming, Qin Wentian could tell how bad her situation was.
…………
Although Qin Wentian made a hundred-year promise to the Lord of Lihuo Palace, after returning to the Beicheng District Commandery Mansion, he did not take any action. He just plunged into the training platform and practiced in seclusion.
Today's Commander's Mansion can almost be said to be absolutely controlled by Qin Wentian. Even if someone has different intentions, it may be someone from the Helan family, but at least on the surface, Qin Wentian absolutely controls the Commander's Mansion, but the people in Beicheng District
The Commander's Mansion remained so low-key that many people's expectations gradually subsided.
The last time tribute was collected, many people did not pay tribute, and the Commander's Office did not take any action after that. Now, there are still periods of time in Beicheng District from time to time. Apart from handling some minor matters, the Commander's Office has done nothing at all. It seems that it has been given to major forces.
A reason for refusing to pay tribute.
In fact, this is indeed the case. As time goes by, everyone gradually forgets the iron-blooded methods of the new commander who killed three deputy commanders in just three months after taking office. It seems that on that occasion, the new commander was frightened by the soul-killing needle.
, not daring to make any more moves.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. This time the tribute was paid, Beicheng District was as bleak as last time. When he left the Fire Palace, Qin Wentian naturally encountered some cynicism again. Xiao Mei was still seducing him, and Commander Xiahou was still
He was not pleasing to the eye, but Qin Wentian seemed to be indifferent to all this. It seemed that, like many previous commanders, he was just busy protecting himself when he was the commander of Beicheng District, and he was so low-key that people would forget his existence.
The Helan family seemed to be unable to find a chance to attack him. They couldn't just rush into the commander's mansion and assassinate him, right?
There was no action in the Commander's Mansion. In Lihuo City, there was an inconspicuous thing, a slightly powerful person appeared.
He is a master of formations. His attainments in formations are very powerful. He is at the level of the first-level Immortal Emperor, but the formations he carves at will can deal with intermediate-level Immortal Emperors. It is said that this master is also good at refining weapons.
The formations he is best at are sealing formations. As long as they fall into his formations, people who are much stronger than him will die. In a short time, many small and large forces in Lihuo City will be killed.
Treat him as a distinguished guest!
PS: This is the third update. I believe everyone can guess who this master is, right?
