More than a year has passed since Wang Dalu was attacked at the foot of the mountain in the North District.
During this period of time, no one in the North District government was allowed to leave the house. Whether it was the newly promoted martial artists, the Wuzong or the people in the Duyuan Realm on the back mountain of the North District, they were working hard to learn martial arts and practice without slacking off.
Wang Dalu gathered up his strength and walked down the back mountain to the government hall to discuss important matters with Li Jinbao.
When Wang Dalu entered the entrance hall, he saw Li Jinbao sitting on a chair reading letters.
Li Jinbao saw Wang Dalu come in, greeted him with a smile and reported to him what happened during this period.
Wang Dalu sat on the main seat by himself and asked Li Jinbao to sit at the bottom and report to him.
Li Jinbao bowed and saluted, sat down and said.
"During this period, our Mainland Chamber of Commerce has opened three branches, seven or eight restaurants, and more than ten shops. President Lu Mi has been traveling back and forth in major cities in the Hou Dynasty for more than a year."
"Well, my brother Lu Mi has indeed worked very hard. It seems that I have chosen the right person to host the Chamber of Commerce. However, it is not good to worry about these horrors and delay his practice. In your opinion, how should I make up for it?
"
"Students have all the decisions made by adults."
Wang Dalu thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had given Old Turtle some blood from the mouths of ancient real beasts before, and wanted him to make some gift rings, so he said.
"Then it's up to you to go to Old Man Turtle and ask how the rings I asked him to make are doing. If they are done, you can choose three of them, and they will be considered as gifts from me. Li Zhaocai
There is also something for my brother Lu Mi to show his merits."
Wang Dalu rewarded him and Li Zhaocai with a Nawu Mijie ring, which made Li Jinbao very grateful, because he knew that Nawu Mijie items with a radius of several feet were considered rare in the Eastern Wasteland, and were all used by the imperial court, aristocratic families, and sects.
The family before them also had two or three gift bracelets, but they were looted in the disaster and no longer survived.
"By the way, what's the situation like for Ma Chang and the disciples of Luofengpo now after they come down from the mountain?"
Nowadays, those former Luofengpo disciples in the North District Mansion who have advanced to the Duyuan realm have gone down the mountain and returned to their hometowns half a year ago.
And Ma Chang, a former North District prisoner, was also appointed by Wang Dalu as the head of the newly established "Mainland Bodyguard Agency" six months ago.
Li Jinbao thought of this and immediately replied.
"Ma Chang and three people from the Duyuan Realm recruited bodyguards to protect them in Nanshan City when they were first established. Now they are accompanying President Lu Mi to protect them and continue to recruit people in major cities."
After talking about Ma Chang's situation, Li Jinbao began to talk to Wang Dalu about the current situation of the playboys who returned to their respective families.
"Song Li, Zhao She and the dozen or so others have begun to be gradually appreciated and reused in their respective families, and have begun to set up spies and cultivate influence for the adults."
"In particular, Song Li wrote back and said that he has persuaded his father, Earl Song, to consider siding with your father, Mr. Wang Gang, to support the eldest son of the Li family of the Hou Dynasty to succeed to the next position."
After Wang Dalu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Ma Changna used to travel around the world a lot. He is a generous and loyal man who is suitable for managing an escort agency. As for Song Li and others, they can provide me with a lot of help in the future struggle for hegemony in the Hou Dynasty."
Wang Dalu paused, then remembered something and asked again.
"So what major actions has the Third District Deacon's Office made in the past year?"
"The students have been setting up spies in front of the deacons' houses in the three districts and at the foot of the mountains as early as when the adults were practicing in seclusion. They also have people like Ning Yu as internal agents. It can be said that they know everything about what the three deacons do on a daily basis."
"Except for the South District deacon Zhang Du, who is still here, the other two district deacons Li Tao and Wang Ning made an appointment to go to Hou Chao together a month ago. And the Zhang Du who once attacked the students has been gone since Li Tao and Wang Ning left.
He was a guest with Baron Lu Yu in the palace of Nanshan City and never returned to the mountain to take charge, so he should be afraid that the Lord will harm him."
Wang Dalu was very funny when he heard this.
"What about them?"
Although Wang Dalu didn't say it clearly, Li Jinbao knew that Wang Dalu was referring to Ning Yu and others who were lurking in the third area as he mentioned just now, so he replied.
"Four martial sects from Ning Yu's group have successfully transformed into the Wild Danjudu and returned to their respective families to lie dormant, waiting for your master's instructions."
Seeing that Wang Dalu was speechless, Li Jinbao bowed his body slightly and lowered his voice to remind him intentionally.
"Sir, as the disciples of Luo Fengpo left Beiqu Mountain and rushed back to their respective families, and revealed the Yuan Duan realm on their bodies, it has caused some people to speculate that you or your father, Mr. Wang Gang, has Desolate Pills in your hands.
Chongbao, students are afraid that Li Tao and Wang Ning are returning to the court at this time for this matter. If it cannot be resolved early, I am afraid that Mr. Wang and Mr. Lu will be in a lot of trouble at the meeting in half a year."
Although the current North District Prefecture was established less than three years ago, it is already more impressive than the other three districts.
The criminals and prisoners in the other three districts all fled their respective mining areas under the instigation of Ning Yu and others and took refuge in the North District House.
Li Tao and other district three deacons just turned a blind eye and had no choice but to do nothing. In order not to affect the jade mining, those who left could only recruit nearby villagers to fill the vacancies.
The Deacon Mansion in the Third District is just a sick tiger with its teeth pulled out. It can only hide and defend and dare not cause trouble again.
Before Wang Dalu went into seclusion, he had already discussed with Li Jinbao that the origins of those who sought refuge with him would be investigated, and those who committed crimes and should be punished were not allowed to be admitted.
Mentioning the deacons of the third district, especially Li Tao, Wang Dalu was filled with hatred and had a ferocious look on his face.
"In three months, Uncle Lu Yu will leave to attend the triennial meeting like my father. At that time, we will first eliminate the deacon Zhang Du of the West District who is staying in the city lord's palace."
After talking about the business, Wang Dalu was about to leave the palace. As soon as he walked out of the door, he turned around and asked Li Jinbao to go to Old Man Gui to pick up the gift ring. He also asked for a gift bracelet for him to give to Master Li as a birthday gift.
Li Shishi once mentioned her birthday and said that since her parents died and her relatives were no longer around, no one specially prepared birthday gifts for her.
Wang Dalu couldn't help but write down Li Shishi's birthday. Seeing that the date was coming in more than ten days, he asked Li Jinbao to handle the matter.
Li Jinbao wanted to persuade Wang Dalu to ask him to hand it over to Master Li in person, but he was obviously superfluous.
However, he knew that Wang Dalu could only realize matters of love on his own, and no one else could help him. He could only look at Wang Dalu's retreating figure, shake his head and sigh.
"Where does love come from in this world?"
"It's unspeakable, it's unspeakable..."
Nanshan City Lord's Mansion.
Baron Lu Yu and South District Deacon Zhang were both drinking wine and chatting here and there.
Since Li Tao and Wang Ning returned to Hou City to resume their duties, he came to the city lord's mansion and said that he wanted to learn about political affairs from Lu Yu.
Although Lu Yu didn't know that Zhang Du, Li Tao and Wang Ning had intercepted and killed Wang Dalu near Beiqu Town, he did know that they had a deep grudge with Wang Dalu and sooner or later there would be a fight between them.
The two kept raising glasses to each other, tacitly understanding everything without saying anything.
On the official road, which was hundreds of miles away from Nanshan City, dozens of tall horses galloped past.
Li Tao and Wang Ning were walking back to Guangyuan City, the main city of the Hou Dynasty.
In the last incident of intercepting Wang Dalu, Li Tao was the most seriously injured among the three. He withstood the blow from Li Jinbao who had reached the peak of his womb, and it took him more than half a year to recover. Although Wang Ning was injured and unconscious at the time, he was just fighting with Wang Dalu.
It's just that the vitality of fighting is exhausted, and it will be fine in a few days.
Both of them knew that they were far from Wang Dalu's opponent now, so they had to return to their master to explain the seriousness of the situation.
During this time, it was heard from time to time that the former Luofengpo children had been raised in the North District for more than a year, but they all returned home and their cultivation levels had reached the realm of crossing the Yuan.
Anyone with some Taoist cultivation will sneer at this news. They know very well what the Wild Pill is. If the disciples of Luofengpo can enter the realm of Yuan Du Yuan after staying in the North District for a year and a half, wouldn't it mean that Wang Dalu has mastered it?
There are a lot of wild elixirs on it. How is this possible? It's pure nonsense.
However, Li Tao and Wang Ning knew Wang Dalu very well. They had a deep understanding of how evil Wang Dalu was. Even the people around Wang Dalu showed strange behavior.
The two of them recalled the anomalies that had occurred in the back mountain of Bei District Fu before, and vaguely guessed that the strange phenomenon might have been caused by the disciples of Luofengpo who traveled to Yuan together.
Regardless of whether the two people's guesses were correct or not, they were enough to attract the attention and attention of them and even the forces behind them, which is why they rode back to the court today.
Seeing Guangyuan City in sight, Li Tao said to Wang Ning.
"Brother Wang, as soon as we enter Guangyuan City today, you and I may belong to our respective camps and be hostile to each other. I hope you will take care of me!"
Wang Ning looked at Li Tao's thick eyebrows and fierce face, clasped his fists and said something.
"treasure!"
At this time, Wang Dalu's hometown, Wolong City, was experiencing strange phenomena, with dark clouds and wind and rain accompanied by strong winds and lightning.
