Chapter 394

Both Wen Lan and Wen Song looked expectantly.

In order to control Donglin City, the Wen family paid a lot, but as long as they can succeed, everything is worth it. After the Jing family is defeated, the Wen family can also benefit a lot from the resources produced in the East Lincheng area. After dozens or hundreds of years of operation, it is enough to make up for the price that the Wen family paid this time.

"Patriarch Wen, I have confirmed the selection of the master of Donglin City. Jing Tianying, the patriarch of Donglin City." Zhou Shangyun looked at the two of them and said slowly.

"Hum!" The smile on the corner of Wen Lan's mouth froze instantly.

In my mind, with a bang, it went blank.

What's the meaning?

How is this going?

Didn't it be agreed, everything has been confirmed, is it me, Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, who will be the city lord of Donglin City? Why has it changed now, becoming the elder of the Jing family? What the hell happened?

Wen Lan knew that Zhou Shangyun, the county king, should know why the Wen family insisted on controlling Donglin City, and it was to deal with the Jing family. But now, the king of the county directly appointed the elder Jing family as the city lord of Donglin City.

Isn't this, hitting Wen Jia in the face?

It is conceivable that once this news gets out, the entire Lanqu county city, big and small, will definitely use it as a talking point to make fun of the Wen family!

Wen Lan was stunned for a long time, before taking a deep breath, he looked at Zhou Shangyun.

Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, also switched his eyes alternately between Wen Lan and Zhou Shangyun.

Where is my lord?

What about my castellan position? Wen Song really wanted to shout angrily and question Zhou Shangyun, but he hasn't lost his mind yet. He knew that Zhou Shangyun's temper was not so gentle. If Zhou Shangyun was angered and Zhou Shangyun slapped him directly, he was not sure that he would survive. And even if Zhou Shangyun shot him to death, the Wen family would not be able to take revenge or dare to take revenge.

"My lord, I don't understand this." After Wen Lan took a breath, she forced herself to calm down.

"Is there anything that Patriarch Wen doesn't understand?" Zhou Shangyun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhou Shangyun had expected that the Wen family would not accept this result in silence.

"Your Majesty, although you didn't personally say that you would appoint me, Elder Wen Song of the Wen Family, as the Lord of Donglin City, we all know that this matter is basically settled. What I don't understand is why the Lord He suddenly changed his mind and wanted to appoint the Jing family as the city lords of Donglin City.

Wen Lan asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

After all, he is also the patriarch of the Wen family. Although he is a bit weaker in front of the county king, he is by no means afraid to speak, not to that extent.

"Regarding this matter, I have studied it again in the past two days, and I still think that Elder Wen Song is not suitable to be the mayor of Donglin City." Zhou Shangyun shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, there was a big battle in Donglin City not long ago. The Jing family and the Zhao family fought and killed hundreds of warriors. If the elders of Jing were appointed as the lord of Donglin City, Donglin City may be in chaos in the future. Ah!" Wen Lan was not reconciled.

"This problem has not yet happened, so no one can be sure that it will happen. If Donglin City is really in chaos, then I will definitely take follow-up actions." Zhou Shangyun smiled and said, "But one day I will talk to Patriarch Wen first. Please make it clear that the Wen family should not interfere with the affairs of Donglin City. If you let me know that the Wen family secretly retaliated against the Jing family in Donglin City, I will not ignore it! I need Donglin City to stabilize and grow stronger! "

Hearing Zhou Shangyun's words, Wen Lan's heart trembled again.

It can be seen that Zhou Shangyun's mind has been made up, no matter how much he says, it can't change Zhou Shangyun's mind.

"Since the king of the county has made a decision, I can't say anything. I hope that Donglin City will get better and better!" Wen Lan said insincerely.

"My lord, then we will leave!" Wen Lan stood up and said goodbye.

For a moment, he didn't want to stay in the county palace any longer!

Wen Song also stood up, and the two walked out of the reception room one after the other, and left the county palace.

"Patriarch, what's going on? Why did the county king suddenly change his mind?" Wen Song couldn't help asking Wen Lan after leaving the county palace.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Wen Lan was full of anger, and naturally she couldn't answer Wen Song's question in a good tone.

Moreover, he really didn't know, he himself was full of doubts.

With doubts in their stomachs, the two returned to the family.

Wen Lan called many elders of the Wen family over and informed them of the incident. The elders of the Wen family were a little dumbfounded when they heard this.

"What the hell is the king doing?"

"When we Wen family is easy to bully?"

"Our Wen family paid such a high price to get the support of several other aristocratic families, but the county king directly vetoed it with one word?"

The elders of Wen's family roared indignantly.

This time the Wen family paid such a high price, but in the end they got such a result? This news must be uncontrollable. I believe that within a day, the entire Lanqu County will be known. At that time, the sound of teasing will probably spread throughout the city.

"There must be a reason for the county king to change his mind. Moreover, the newly appointed city lord is still from the Jing family. It seems that the reason for the county king's change of mind has nothing to do with the Jing family!" said the elder of the Wen family ponderingly.

The great elder of the Wen family is considered the brains of the family. When other elders were furious, he was able to analyze calmly.

"Check! Be sure to check! I want to know what made Zhou Shangyun change his mind!" Wen Lan shouted with a livid face.

"Patriarch, Xu Dong, the vice president of the Alchemist Association, is here!" Wen's black-clothed guards walked in from the outside and said.

"Vice President Xu Dong?" Wen Lan's eyes flashed, "Come here quickly!"

After a while, Xu Dong came into the room.

"Mr. Xu Dong!" Wen Lan and the others bowed their hands, very politely.

Xu Dong is a fifth-level alchemist and the vice-chairman of the alchemist association. On weekdays, the Wen family is on good terms with Xu Dong.

"Patriarch Wen, all elders of the Wen family!" Xu Dong also returned the salute.

Xu Dong could also see the strange atmosphere in the room, but he was not surprised at all, because he had already received the news that the owner of Donglin City had been replaced by the Jing family.

The Wen family must be very unhappy knowing that the owner of Donglin City has been replaced.

"Mr. Xu Dong, why are you here?" Wen Lan asked Xu Dong politely after asking Xu Dong to sit down.

"It's nothing, I just heard that the county king has appointed Jing Tianying, a member of the Jing family, as the city lord of Donglin City." Xu Dong raised his eyebrows and said slowly.

"Mr. Xu Dong, you didn't come to see our Wen family's jokes, did you?" an elder Wen's family said in a deep voice.

"Of course not! I just think that everyone may not know why the Duke suddenly changed his decision." Xu Dong smiled, and was not displeased with the tone of the elder Wen's family.
