Chapter 36: Let's work together to do things (please vote)

Hua Duxiu's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said , " Because they stole my most precious treasure!"

Peng Tianlin asked curiously , " You mean, you're worried that they can use this to blackmail you?"

Hua Duxiu nodded , " That's right."

"Song Yao promised to return the treasure to me in three days. Before he returns it to me, we must not let them know that the silver has been swapped."

Peng Tianlin nodded , " Song Yao is very cunning. He intends to return the things to you after making sure everything is safe. If something goes wrong, he will use this to influence you."

Hua Duxiu said in a deep voice , " Not bad."

Peng Tianlin asked , " How can you be sure that he will return the things to you as promised in three days?"

Hua Duxiu said with a gloomy face , " I will never let him delay for more than three days! Never!"

Peng Tianlin and Wu Haotian looked at each other with complicated expressions.

This kid has a strong desire for revenge?

I’m afraid a lot of things will happen in these three days, right?

By the way, what did he say before, that he wanted to hire all kinds of bandits, robbers, and horse thieves to rob the Shenwei Escort Agency?

That would be quite lively.

Peng Tianlin suddenly shouted , " Someone come!"

A guard immediately rushed in from outside.

Peng Tianlin said sternly , " Order Hadanbaatar to lead his troops to blockade the entire city and close all the city gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

The guards immediately obeyed the order and left.

Peng Tianlin shouted again , " Someone come!"

A guard rushed in and bowed down.

Peng Tianlin said sternly , " Send City Lord Zhao Shentian to see me immediately!"

"yes!"

The guards immediately obeyed the order and left.

Wu Haotian glanced at Peng Tianlin: The Governor is about to start working!

I didn't expect Hua Duxiu could actually convince the governor. Isn't that extraordinary?

Ordinary people may not know this Governor Peng, but as the Lord of Moliu Mansion, Wu Haotian knows him well.

He had heard about it from many top bosses a long time ago.

Peng Tianlin is a person who is very good at forbearance and rarely conflicts with others.

It was precisely because of his character that the top leaders of the empire ordered him to guard the Snake Valley, where all kinds of people mixed together and undercurrents were surging, hoping that he could appease all parties and stabilize the overall situation in the Snake Valley.

Faced with countless strong men, it is easy to suppress them by force, but it is difficult to win them over and restrain them.

Peng Tianlin did a really good job in the early stages.

But later on, the ambitions of the six generals expanded, his appeasement lost its effect, and some unpleasant things happened, which led to Peng Tianlin being transferred from the top level to become the governor of Kunmo Valley, where the political situation was stable and the people were honest.

With his personality, it is really not easy for him to make up his mind to cooperate with Hua Duxiu, to have the nerve to mobilize the army to lock the city, and to have a "fight in the city" with City Lord Zhao Shentian.

If he doesn't move, it's fine. But if he moves, not only will he have to fight with Zhao Shentian, but the local generals in the army, veteran princesses like Shangguan Jie, and native gang forces will probably all jump out at the same time and attack this kind-looking governor!

Peng Tianlin didn't feel nervous at all.

He smiled and said , " Xiu'er, you look very tired. I'm afraid you must have been in a hurry on this journey?"

Hua Duxiu sighed , " Oh, it's my fault for being careless. If I hadn't lost the treasure, I would be taking a bath, drinking tea, and waiting for the thunder from the Shenwei Escort Agency to explode."

Peng Tianlin smiled , " It's okay, at least you can have a cup of tea now. The Demon-Breaking City will be sealed off soon, we can continue the rest of the story slowly."

"However, although your physical skills are strong, your internal strength is mediocre. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will suffer a great loss."

Wu Haotian felt strange.

This Peng Tianlin used to call Hua Duxiu by his full name, then "little brother", and now he just calls him "Xiu'er".

What does it mean?

It is rumored that Miss Peng has a crush on Hua Duxiu. Is this all true?

That's incredible.

Although the Moliu Mansion rarely participates in government affairs and intends to stay out of it, the government is right in front of it, and it is impossible to stay out of it.

Especially top-level sects like the Moliu Mansion.

How many people are watching, from the Governor, princesses of various counties, to the Lord of Demon-Breaking City, famous families in various counties, wealthy businessmen, all want to maintain good relations with the Moliu Mansion, and even try every means to squeeze people in.

The Hua family has been on good terms with the Moliu Mansion for generations.

Second-rate sects like Heqimen are less valuable and can only serve as swords in the hands of local princesses.

A third-rate sect can only be a lackey and can't even make a sword.

Wu Haotian thought to himself: Even the Governor is particularly fond of this boy Hua Duxiu, it seems that my judgment was correct.

This child has unlimited potential in the future!

The position of elder must be given to him, whether he wants it or not!

Just kidding. Although my Moliu Mansion does not serve as a lackey of the government, it would be an honor for my elders to become the governor's son-in-law in the future.

After all, it is the elder who becomes the son-in-law, not the son-in-law who becomes the elder.

One in front and one behind, this is very important.

Thinking of this, Wu Haotian said earnestly , " Xiu'er, I said earlier that if you want to gain a foothold in the world through martial arts, internal force training is an indispensable part. After this matter is over, you should return to the Demonic Flow Mansion as soon as possible to continue your studies. The promise I made to you at the beginning is still valid."

Hua Duxiu shuddered , " I've almost pissed off Elder Niu to death, do you still want me to be the elder?"

Pay attention, this is another honorific, I'm calling you.

Thank you for your face.

Hua Duxiu is such a person. If you respect me one inch, I will respect you one yard.

Hua Gongzi has always believed that this young master is such a humble and easy-going person! He is really a model of an outstanding young man.

Young people nowadays are all hot-tempered and arrogant. There are really not many young people like me with a good temper.

Wu Haotian smiled and said , " My eyes can't be wrong. You are talented and intelligent, and you are kind-hearted. You will definitely be able to carry forward the Demon Flow Mansion in the future. It is very appropriate to grant you the position of elder."

Peng Tianlin asked curiously , " Master Wu, are the rumors true?"

Wu Haotian asked , " Sir, what rumors are you referring to?"

Peng Tianlin stroked his beard and laughed , " Rumor has it that the Demonic Flow House is greedy for the Hua family's tribute and wants to sell the position of elder to Hua Duxiu. Haha, haha!"

Wu Haotian waved his hands , " Nonsense, nonsense!"

Hua Duxiu also laughed: The Hua family is very rich, but the financial resources of the Moliu Mansion are probably several times stronger than those of the Hua family!

After all, it is a top-notch sect with hundreds of years of history. Lack of money? No way.

Wu Haotian said , " Xiu'er, you rejected the olive branch I offered you last time, but I did not take back my order. The title of the youngest elder in the history of the Demonic Flow House is still yours!"

Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes and said , " Let's talk about it later."

As they were chatting, the guard outside said loudly , " Your Excellency, City Lord Zhao Shentian is outside the palace asking to see you!"

The three people in the room looked at each other, and Peng Tianlin said , " You two go back and rest first. I will take care of the show here."

Hua Duxiu asked , " Uncle Lin, don't you need me to cry and complain to you?"

Peng Tianlin laughed and said , " You, kid, have a bad temper."

Hua Duxiu and Wu Haotian said goodbye and left, and Peng Tianlin immediately put on an "extremely furious" look.

He shouted , " Call Zhao Shentian in!"

…

Hua Duxiu and Wu Haotian left the Governor's Mansion through the back door. Wu Haotian said earnestly:

"You have been in the Demonic Flow House for three years. As your teacher, there is something I need to remind you of."

Hua Duxiu asked , " Master, what do you mean?"

Wu Haotian said , " Governor Peng has been in our Trapped Demon Valley for less than half a year, and many things have not been decided yet. You don't understand the officialdom, and you can't see through many things. Why does Shangguan Jie have the courage to challenge the governor of a world? Because he has a bigger and stronger backer behind him."

Hua Duxiu scratched his head , " Huh?"

Wu Haotian said patiently , " Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, especially for those of us in the underworld. We must be more cautious. When it comes to the internal struggles between political parties, we must recognize our own position and not get too involved."

Hua Duxiu said , " Oh."

Wu Haotian was speechless. What the hell, do you understand what I am saying?

After all, the Hua family and the Demonic Flow House have a deep connection, and Hua Duxiu is indeed a rare martial arts genius. If not, Wu Haotian would not risk the great disapproval of the martial arts world and grant the extremely important position of elder to a boy who has only been a disciple for three years and is only seventeen years old.

Wu Haotian sighed and said , " Xiu'er, I have something to say to you."

Hua Duxiu asked , " Ah?"

Wu Haotian said , " You can get close to the government, but stay away from official disputes."

Hua Duxiu said , " Oh."

Wu Hao was very upset and shook his sleeves . " Okay, if you don't understand anything, just go home and ask your father. If there is anything you can't handle, you can come to Mo Liu Mansion to find me at any time."

Wu Haotian was about to leave after saying this, but Hua Duxiu grabbed his sleeve.

She even pulled it like a spoiled child.

Wu Haotian frowned and asked , " What happened again?"

Hua Duxiu said , " I have something I can't handle right now, and I want to ask you something!"

Wu Haotian's face changed. How come this kid does whatever he wants and does what he says?

Although there aren't many people in the back street of the Governor's Mansion, so you don't have to worry about being seen, but is it really okay for a young boy like you to pull and tug at the Lord of the Demonic Flow Mansion?

Wu Haotian asked patiently , " What's the matter? Just tell me."

Hua Duxiu asked , " That old man Song Yao said he would return the things to me at the auction house in Baibao Manor in three days. Why would he return them at the auction house? Is there some trick there?"

Wu Haotian was startled, thought for a moment, and then praised , " Yes, you are thoughtful. If I had mentioned this matter to the Governor just now, I'm afraid it would have embarrassed him."

Hua Duxiu said , " I know."

Wu Haotian looked around to see that there was no one around, and lowered his voice and said , " Under the great monarch of the Dragon Empire, the three great leaders each have their own duties. Among them, the Prime Minister is responsible for the political affairs of the Nine Realms, the Prime Minister is in charge of the military affairs of the Nine Realms, and the Prime Minister is in charge of the Nine Realms Treasure Manor."

Hua Duxiu said , " I know all this, can you tell me something I don't know?"

Wu Haotian was so angry that his stomach hurt.

Why are you so impatient?

Can't you just listen to me slowly?

No wonder several elders were so angry with you that they jointly came to me to make trouble and insisted that I order you to be expelled.

The way you talk, even the one with the best temper will get irritated by you!

Wu Haotian said , " Among the three giants, Lord Zai Zheng is kind and caring for the people. It was with Lord Zai Zheng's support that Governor Peng was transferred to our Trapped Demon Valley. Lord Zai Wei is just the opposite. He advocates the use of force, and his favorite thing to do is to suppress rebellion and weaken the wealthy. Shangguan Jie and his people can be regarded as Lord Zai Wei's vanguard."

Hua Duxiu rolled his eyes , " My time is very precious. I need to send people to deal with Song Yao and his men. Can you please get to the point? You're driving me crazy."

Wu Haotian's hands were trembling slightly.

A stomp of the foot!

Staring with bull eyes!

Wu Haotian shouted , " Just listen to me!"
