Chapter 396 The New City Lord of Donglin City
Hearing Jing Chengye's words, the expressions of all the elders changed slightly.
Although everyone knows that what should come will always come, but when it really comes, everyone still can't be calm.
The special envoy of the county prince's mansion came to Donglin City, obviously to announce the appointment of the new city lord.
Perhaps, the new city lord also came along with him. Once the appointment of the city lord is announced, the new city lord will immediately take over the East Lin City.
"Patriarch, has the special envoy arrived at Donglin City?" The second elder of the Jing family asked with a serious expression.
"Well, we've already arrived outside the city of Donglin, and we should be entering the city now!" Jing Chengye nodded his head.
"The new city lord, is it really the old Wen family?"
During this period of time, the Jing family also got news that the new city lord might be the elder of the Wen family. The Wen family is the force behind the exterminated Zhao family, which is the hostile force of the Jing family. During the battle between the Jing family and the Zhao family, the Zhao family also sent two experts from the Dao Spirit Realm to help the Zhao family. If it was the Wen family elder who served as the city lord of Donglin City, it is conceivable that the life of the Jing family will not be easy in the future.
Although the Jing family has now controlled Donglin City, the city lord is the city lord, with a large number of armored guards and official status, which is enough to limit the development of the Jing family, and even make the Jing family gradually decline.
"Let's take one step at a time!"
"Even if the elder Wen's family is really the city lord, so what? Not long ago, the Zhao family fought against my Jing family. Who is optimistic that my Jing family can win? In the end, isn't it the Zhao family that was wiped out?"
"Yes! It's not that easy to mess with my Jing family! My Jing family now has dozens of innate realm warriors, and there will be more than a hundred in the future. Even the city lord can't completely ignore the strength of my Jing family."
"..."
Everyone is talking about it.
"Everyone, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to meet you!" Jing Chengye said in a concentrated voice.
He called all the elders of the family over, just to take them to the city lord's mansion to meet the special envoy, and also to see who the new city lord is. If it is really the elder of Wen's family, then make plans early!
"Um!"
"Okay, let's go to meet the special envoy and the new city owner."
Jing Chengye and Jing's elders both left the family house and came outside the City Lord's Mansion.
The other families in Donglin City,
They also quickly got news about this matter, and some secret discussions, constantly fermenting and brewing, spread in the city.
Now in Donglin City, there is no one or force that can directly contend with the Jing family. Dozens of families, large and small, were all honest and responsible, but to say that all the families were of one mind with the Jing family would be deceiving oneself and others.
Among them, there are many families who hope that the Jing family will suffer. These families are also waiting for the arrival of the new city lord.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Jing Chengye and the others waited quietly. Even Lu Qin and Shi Xuan walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. After the new city lord arrives, they will leave the city lord's mansion.
Finally, a Tianyan car slowly approached and stopped in front of everyone.
From the carriage, stepped down a middle-aged martial artist who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
He is the special envoy of the county prince's mansion who came to Donglin City to announce the selection of the owner of the new city. Jing Yan knew this person. When he followed Mu Liantian into the county palace, he was the one he saw outside the reception room. Later, after Jing Yan finished alchemy, he was also the one who took Jing Yan to see the county king Zhou Shangyun.
"This lord, did you come from Lanqu County?" Jing Chengye and the others hurried forward to meet him.
Jing Chengye asked, bowing his hands in salute.
"My name is Zhou Che, and I come from the Prince's Mansion." Zhou Che looked at Jing Chengye and the others, and said with a smile.
"Are you all from the Jing family?" Before Zhou Che came, he naturally had a certain understanding of the situation in Donglin City.
Zhou Che also knew that Jing Yan was from the Jing family. Now the king of the county treats Jing Yan with extra courtesy, and even because of Jing Yan's relationship, the king of the county even appointed the elder of Jing's family as the city lord of Donglin City.
Therefore, in front of the Jing family, Zhou Che did not put on any airs, but seemed very kind.
Hearing Zhou Che's tone, Jing Chengye and others were slightly moved. It sounds like, Mr. Special Envoy seems to be very warm to the Jing family!
Jing Chengye looked at Zhou Che, and then at the carriage of the Tianyan carriage. There was no second person coming out of the carriage. Could it be that the new city lord didn't come with the special envoy?
Thoughts turned quickly in his mind, Jing Chengye quickly said, "I am Jing Chengye, the head of the Jing family, and I have met Special Envoy Zhou Che."
"Hehe, there's no need to be too polite." Zhou Che waved his hands and said with a smile.
"I came this time because Huo Chunyang, the original city lord of Donglin City, had been missing for several months, and Donglin City needed a new city lord to manage it, so I brought the letter of appointment for the new city lord from the county king." Zhou Che said slowly .
Jing Chengye and the others did not speak any more, waiting for Zhou Che to continue.
Zhou Che flipped the palm of his hand lightly, and then a golden booklet appeared.
This booklet is the letter of appointment for the new city lord of Donglin City.
Jing Chengye and the others looked calm on their faces, but they were unavoidably nervous. If the new city owner is the Wen family, then the Jing family will have to prepare for a long-term struggle.
Speaking of which, even if the Jing family is very powerful now, the contest with the City Lord's Mansion may end in the Jing family's failure.
"Now, I am announcing the appointment of Lord County King to the City Lord of Donglin City!"
"Zhou Shangyun, the king of Lanqu County, appointed Jing Tianying from the Jing family as the new city lord of Donglin City." Zhou Che's voice reached the ears of everyone present.
The appointment letter is very short, only this sentence.
But when Jing Chengye and the others heard this sentence, their eyes widened.
It's unbelievable, it feels like a dream.
The new city lord, Jing Tianying?
Jing Tianying, who was standing behind Jing Chengye, also had a look of astonishment on his face. He never thought that he could also become the city lord of Donglin City.
Jing Tianying stared at Jing Chengye and the other elders, all of them had similar expressions. Only then did he become sure that he had heard correctly.
What Special Envoy Zhou Che said was that he was indeed appointed as the new city lord of Donglin City.
The whole scene was completely silent for a few breaths, and everyone didn't react for a while. No one thought that the new city owner would be Jing Tianying, the elder of the Jing family.
There had been rumors before that the new city lord would be the elder of the Wen family in Lanqu County. Although the rumors are not 100% certain, everyone also believes that even if the new city lord is not an elder from the Wen family, he must be a big shot from Lanqu County, a strong man in the Dao Lingjing.
As for Jing Tianying, she is currently only at the peak of the innate realm, and has not yet been promoted to Dao Ling. Generally speaking, the lord of a city needs to be cultivated in the Dao Spiritual Realm. The strength is too weak to control the city at all.
"Is City Lord Jing Tianying here?" Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Zhou Che coughed lightly and asked again.
"Master Special Envoy, I am Jing Tianying!" Jing Tianying said, taking a few steps forward.
"City Lord Jing Tianying, congratulations!" Zhou Che walked to Jing Tianying and handed the letter of appointment to Jing Tianying, "From now on, the management of Donglin City will be your responsibility."
Zhou Che smiled all over his face and was very enthusiastic.
"Yes!" Jing Tianying took the letter of appointment.
"Well, City Lord Jing Tianying, Patriarch Jing Chengye, the announcement of the appointment has ended, and the letter of appointment has been handed over to the new City Lord. I should go back too." Zhou Che said.
He didn't intend to stay longer in Donglin City. There are still many things that need to be dealt with in the county prince's mansion.
"Special envoy Zhou Che, why is my Jing family elder the appointment of the new city lord? Your lord, you also know Jing Tianying, the elder of my Jing family?" Jing Chengye still couldn't hold back.
The new city owner is the Jing family, so he is naturally very happy, but if this doubt is not resolved, it will be really uncomfortable. The others also looked at Zhou Che, obviously everyone had such doubts. Even Jing Tianying herself was completely confused.
The King of the County may know the existence of the Jing family, but Jing Tianying, a martial artist at the peak of innate realm, the King of the County also knows about it? Not only did he know, the Duke of the County, he also appointed Jing Tianying as the new city lord!
"Hehe, I'm not very clear about the specific situation. However, it should be related to Jing Yan from your Jing family." Zhou Che laughed.
He can understand the Jing family's confusion! If it wasn't for the appearance of Jing Yan, then the new city lord would never have fallen on the head of the Jing family.
He couldn't say the details. But let the Jing family know that it was because of Jing Yan that the county king appointed Jing Tianying as the lord of Donglin City, which is fine.
Hearing Zhou Che's words, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Jing Yan?
In the previous battle with the Zhao family, Jing Yan came back in time to turn the tide on his own, but now the appointment of the new city lord has something to do with Jing Yan? Jing Yan, can you let the king of the county appoint the elder Jing as the new city lord of Donglin City?
Everyone's hearts are full of ups and downs! Jing Yan's pace seemed to be getting faster and faster. Now even the king of the county can influence it.
"Everyone, then I'll take my leave. I'll see you later!" Zhou Che bowed his hands to everyone.
"Congratulations, Mr. Special Envoy!" Jing Chengye, Jing Tianying and others said in unison.
Everyone watched Zhou Che get into the Tianyan car, and the Tianyan car left quickly and disappeared on the street.
From when Zhou Che got off the Tianyan carriage to when the appointment of the new city lord ended, it was less than a cup of tea. But within this cup of tea, the Jing family's situation seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, the Jing family temporarily controlled Donglin City relying on their family strength. But now, the Jing family has completely controlled Donglin City. In the future, in the area of Donglin City, who would dare to oppose the Jing family? That is definitely courting death.
Lu Qin, Shi Xuan and others in the rear stepped forward at this time. They also breathed a sigh of relief.
If the new city owner is from the Wen family or someone else from Lanqu county, then the situation of Lu Qin and others will be very bad. Lu Qin and the others were already in the same boat as the Jing family, and Xincheng mainly dealt with the Jing family, and they would definitely not let them go. Now knowing that the new city lord is Jing Tianying, their pressure, like the Jing family's, naturally disappeared.
