Chapter 1221: Do you want a share of the pie?
Yan Liu has lived in the border town of Muwei for many years and may not have much affection for the border town, but the border town is Muwei's protection.
Once something happens in the border town, Muwei won't be able to maintain it for long.
So his worries are real, and so are his questions.
"Who do you take me for?"
Ling Tian gave him a look. He was not stupid. Since he wanted to use the border town as a retreat, how could he just sell his trump card casually?
Yan Liu still didn't believe it. He stared at him for a long time and saw that his expression remained calm and calm.
Now I believed it somewhat, but I still reminded him.
"Those things of yours can cause a sensation no matter where you throw them."
"I don't know what you want to do, but since you are willing to use it to change the border town."
"That's enough to show how much you attach importance to the border town."
"If you don't want anything to happen to the border town, it's best not to hand those things over to others easily."
"During this period, countless warriors came to the border town and tried to take away those things."
"We spent a lot of effort to save it, and General Gu even hurt his roots because of it. It will be difficult for him to make any progress in this life."
Ling Tian naturally remembers General Gu.
At that time, there were only a few generals in the late stages of the Divine Transformation Realm in Muwei, and General Gu was one of them.
Hearing this, he frowned.
"Injured Dantian?"
"Yes, and the injury is not serious. What I said just now is that it is difficult to make any progress. In fact, at best, his level is slowly declining..."
Although the rate of decline is very slow, it is still falling.
There's no guarantee when he will turn back into an ordinary person.
"Where is he now?"
Ling Tian asked.
He actually has a good impression of this old general.
General Gu has a bad temper, but he is cheerful. After losing to him, he was not dissatisfied, but was very pleased.
This kind of person usually has no evil intentions.
Yan Liu sighed.
"Still in Muwei... I tried to persuade him to go back to the border town to recuperate, but he was not willing to do anything."
"I can't force myself."
The main reason is that there are too many warriors in Muwei now, and it is easy for trouble to happen if no one is keeping an eye on them.
When Xinghai Pavilion attacked Muwei, many generals were killed and wounded, and even fewer could be trusted.
General Gu is here, so he can help stabilize the wooden siege.
Ling Tian thought for a while and said.
"Send someone to inform him that I am back and ask him to come to the border town to meet me."
"Okay...don't you plan to go to Muwei to have a look?"
"No need, I can rest assured that you are keeping an eye on me."
If he had enough time, Ling Tian would like to stay a little longer, and there would be nothing wrong with visiting Muwei.
But it has been a long time since I met Zhongli Mountain.
I don’t know how far Zhonglishan and his gang have gone in researching the path to immortality during this period.
It would be bad if the opponent succeeded in reversing the path to immortality because he arrived too late.
There are too few warriors in the outside world, and their realm is too low.
Once the passage between the two worlds is opened and a monster enters the outside world, it will definitely be a disaster for the outside world.
Ling Tian will never allow this to happen!
Next, Yan Liu carefully explained the situation in the border town to Ling Tian.
If something was unreasonable, Ling Tian also put forward his own opinion.
Neither of them had ever been a city lord, but Ling Tian came from the outside world after all. He had a certain understanding of the company's structure and had a ready-made management framework that he could copy.
Of course, you can’t just take it and use it.
He just told what he knew and let Yan Liu modify the rest according to the actual situation.
That's half a day.
By the time the two of them finished speaking, it was already dark.
Yan Liu was about to ask someone to prepare dinner, but when he turned around, he realized there was someone standing next to him.
He froze for a moment.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Yes, why haven't I left yet... City Lord Yan, what do you think?"
Zhou Xingyun gritted his teeth and said strangely.
Yan Liu was silent for a moment, then he remembered that he asked Zhou Xingyun to come over to talk about something.
But he didn't expect Ling Tian to come back suddenly and was interrupted.
After that...
I was so absorbed in chatting with Ling Tian that I forgot about him.
"Ahem, what, today is inconvenient, how about you come over tomorrow?"
"..."
Zhou Xingyun's face turned dark.
Okay, are you really going to treat him like a human being and come and go as soon as you call him?
He is from the main city!
If his eldest brother hadn't asked him to keep a low profile and not conflict with people from the border town, he would have taught Yan Liu a lesson.
Is it the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm?
Have you reached the threshold of half-step to the Heaven-Shaking Realm?
In front of him, who is in the true half-step world-shaking realm, why don't you just do whatever you want?
Seeing Zhou Xingyun's displeasure, Yan Liu also knew that it would not be a good idea to drive people away after leaving them alone for a long time.
But it would not be good for Zhou Xingyun to continue to stay.
And Zhou Xingyun didn’t know how much of what they just said.
"Who is this?"
Ling Tian looked at Zhou Xingyun and asked.
He had long known that Zhou Xingyun was there, but Yan Liu didn't mention it. He thought he was one of his own.
But judging from Yan Liu’s intention, it seems that’s not the case?
"Zhou Xingyun."
Zhou Xingyun said the name and added.
"Zhou Manshan is my brother."
"The Zhou family?"
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked.
"Then why are you coming to the border town?"
"My brother asked me to assist City Lord Yan and help him stabilize the border city, and..."
After a pause, Zhou Xingyun whispered.
"Yun An'an is dead. Although you didn't kill him, you can't escape your involvement."
"The Yun family is very dissatisfied with this."
"If we hadn't withstood the pressure, the current border town would have changed its owner long ago."
Hearing this, Ling Tian was very surprised. He saw that the border town was now peaceful and developing quite well.
I just thought that the main city had acquiesced in him becoming the city lord.
After all, to the main city, the border town is just a place where nothing matters and is not worth paying attention to.
But they didn't expect that Zhou Manshan helped them.
Ling Tian had no feelings for Zhou Manshan. The two parties just made a deal.
I just didn't expect that the other party would do this.
From this point of view, Zhou Manshan is really obsessed with kendo.
In order to understand the meaning of the sword, he did not hesitate to confront the Yun family, and he probably also suffered from pressure from the Zhou family.
"Your brother……"
"He's fine."
"..."
That's not what I meant to ask.
Zhou Manshan is not a fool. If the Zhou family really couldn't withstand the pressure, they would have just let it go.
He won’t send Zhou Xingyun here either.
Ling Tian asked after a moment of silence.
"Besides helping us stabilize the border town, what else do you have to do?"
"You guessed it?"
Zhou Xingyun raised his eyebrows and praised.
"No wonder my brother admires you so much. It seems that you are indeed a smart man."
"Yes, I have a second purpose here."
"You might as well take a guess?"
Guess what?
Ling Tian knew with his feet that the Zhou family must want some benefits.
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Xingyun, then said calmly.
"Today's development of border towns is a bit beyond your expectations. In your opinion, border towns are just a big cake."
"You, the Zhou family... want a share of the pie."
