Starting from the wind and clouds, piercing through the heavens

Chapter 27

Zhu Fu.

The atmosphere in the lobby was as stagnant as iron, and everyone had solemn expressions on their faces.

In the middle of the lobby, there was a simple shelf, and the person lying on the shelf was the city guard general who was seriously injured by Liu Ming at the east gate just now.

"Dugu Ming is a ruthless person."

After a long time, Zhu Ronghou, the Patriarch of the Zhu family, took a deep breath, and said in a dark voice, he never thought that Liu Ming would dare to make a move when he entered the city for the first time.

"Patriarch, Lord Liu and Lord Li are here to visit."

The servant came forward to report, Zhu Ronghou also waved his hand, signaling the servant to lead the two Patriarchs in.

"Carry it down, take it to the barracks for a stroll, and let everyone see the masterpiece of our new city lord."

It just so happened that Zhu Ronghou could take the opportunity to hype up and raise the army's resistance to Liu Ming.

Last night, Zhu Ronghou didn't take it seriously when he received the news that Liu Ming was leading the team to serve as the city lord of Qishan City.

Three thousand sergeants, just his Zhu family's guards are enough to deal with it.

As for Liu Ming, even if there are rumors that he personally killed Yanshi,
But a second-rate martial artist is not enough for Zhu Ronghou to take it seriously.

Rumors and the like, it's not that he doesn't know this kind of routine, it's just that Dugu wants to establish a reputation for Liu Ming before he takes office.

Zhu Ronghou discussed with the other two masters this morning, planning to give Liu Ming a blow.

Unexpectedly, this Liu Ming would not take this set.

"Three slaps, two feet, severely injured a second-rate warrior?"

If it weren't for the witnesses of many people on the city wall, Zhu Ronghou couldn't believe it. This is Liu Ming's strength.

The other two masters also walked in, with the same serious look on their faces as Zhu Ronghou.

"Have you heard all about it?"

The Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Jianjun, and the Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Shanhai, both nodded.

"Jian Ke also died in the hands of Dugu Ming."

Li Jianjun added that he and Li Jianke were originally brothers, they were both talented, and both became first-class masters.

One person is in charge of the Li family, and the other is the lord of Qishan City. It became a good story in Qishan City. Many people called the two brothers the "Li Family Twin Heroes".

"Condolences."

Zhu Ronghou knew that Li Jianjie was in a bad mood these two days, so he could use it to make him the first bird to test Liu Ming.

"Grandma said that Dugu Ming is not a good person, and our future life may not be very easy."

"is it?"

Li Jianjun smiled coldly,
"Who is having a hard time, it's not certain."

"The money is monopolized by the three of us, and the army is under the control of the three of us. What kind of trouble can Duguming cause? One month later, if the military salary cannot be paid, he will obediently come to the door to beg us."

Liu Shanhai also showed a disdainful expression.

"Okay, the two Patriarchs have expressed their views, and I, the Zhu family, will naturally accompany me to the end."

Zhu Ronghou didn't finish his sentence, but his servants rushed to report that there was an army gathered at the gate, and the leader claimed to be the lord of Qishan City.

"coming."

Zhu Ronghou had a cunning and cunning smile on his face, and he returned to his seat, not planning to go out to greet him.
"Open the door to welcome guests."

The [-] troops crowded together in darkness, blocking the water around the gate of the Zhu residence.
Passers-by didn't know what happened, but when they saw the shining real sword, they avoided it.

"It seems that Zhu Manor doesn't welcome me, the new city lord."

Liu Ming shook his head, the rules of Qishan City are really weird,
The new city lord had to visit Zhu's house first when he took office, and he had to wait at the door for more than ten minutes.

"Who put the key of the City Lord's Mansion in the Zhu Mansion?"

Liu Ming didn't want to spoil them. Visiting Zhu's house was already his biggest concession. If he still wanted Liu Ming to make a compromise, it would undoubtedly be a dream.

"Going back to the city lord, the subordinates... the subordinates don't know."

Liu Ming nodded. From the looks of it, the three major families in Qishan City controlled not only the economic lifeline of the city, but also their military strength.

No wonder the grandma of the Ming family is confident. Qishan City has been run by her for many years, and the real power has long been in her hands.

"Let's go back."

Liu Ming gave an order, but when he turned around, the gate of Zhu Mansion opened, and the servants shouted loudly:
"The owner of the city stays, and the owner of the family invites you."

But Liu Ming didn't seem to hear it, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion without even turning his head.

The sound of orderly footsteps shook the sky and the earth, shaking people's ears.

In front of the city lord's mansion, Liu Ming pushed the gate open with a single palm. Naturally, the small iron lock was not difficult. If Liu Ming wanted to, he could kick the gate to pieces.

The reason why he chose to go to the Zhu Mansion to get the key was to see the attitude of the Zhu Mansion.

The city lord's mansion is narrow and small, with only three entrances and three exits, it can't accommodate 3000 people.

Liu Ming asked Ye San to leave [-] soldiers as daily guards, and took the rest to the barracks in Qishan City.

After all, it is not good to take them around the city all the time, as it will affect the normal order of the city.

The city lord's mansion was a little messy, Liu Ming arranged for someone to clean it up, and went to the Qinxiang Tower in Qishan City by himself.

"I was negligent before coming here, and I didn't know the details of the three major families in detail."

Liu Ming murmured in a low voice, asked around, and determined the location of Qinxianglou.

Worried about exposing 'Beijiang', Liu Ming disguised himself and walked around, making sure no one was following him, and then entered the Qinxiang Tower.

On the lower floor of Qinxiang Building, Liu Ming carefully browsed through every piece of information on the table, a little surprised,

"The three Patriarchs are all first-class fighters?"

Among them Zhu Ronghou, the Patriarch of the Zhu family, nicknamed Kuangfengdao, the sword was as fast as a god, and countless second-rate warriors died under his hands, as well as several first-rate warriors.

Liu Shanhai, the Patriarch of the Liu Family, started his career as a grassroots bandit. His kung fu is wild and he is good at fisting and kicking.

The Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Jianjun... is Li Jianke's elder brother?

This strength is enough for Liu Ming to treat it with caution.

His current strength is only equivalent to that of a normal first-class martial artist, one against three?Liu Ming still doesn't believe in miracles yet.

"that's it?"

Seeing the end of the information, Liu Ming frowned and asked.

Although this information gave Liu Ming a general understanding of the three Patriarchs, it was not confidential.

It is definitely far from enough to do intelligence.

"What have you 'Beijiang' in Qishan City been doing all these years!"

Liu Ming scolded, in front of him, the leader named Qingyang, who is also the shopkeeper of Qinxianglou.

After being reprimanded by Liu Ming, Qingyang looked embarrassed, but he did not refute.

But thinking about it the other way around, Liu Ming can also see from this that the Qishan City is firmly controlled by the three families and is impeccable.

It will undoubtedly take some effort to break through.

"Start by completely controlling the defending army, and then start with the mine veins, cutting off the raw material sources of the three of them!"

The raw materials are cut, and it will be the three of them who will be passive.

Liu Ming made up his mind and didn't blame Qingyang too much. After ordering him to prepare three good dishes, he got up and went back to the City Lord's Mansion.

"After taking over the Clay Bodhisattva, I will hand over all the intelligence work to him."

Wouldn't it be more effective to have someone who can predict the future preside over the intelligence work?
Liu Ming wandered back to the City Lord's Mansion with a bamboo lunch box in his hand.

But as soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw a sergeant waiting anxiously at the door,
After seeing Liu Ming, the sergeant stepped forward and said anxiously:
"City Lord, something happened to the barracks!"
