Volume 40 Chapter 50

On the morning of February 8th, Bai Zhengnan left the Candle Dragon Territory, and Zhang Su and Tang De also left Xuantian Peak afterward. De, is about to start his first official inspection of Zhang Tie's territory. In Tang De's words, since he has become the general manager of Zhulongling, he, as the general manager, must know everything about Zhulongling like the back of his hand— ——The population, resources, land of Zhulong, the tax accounts of various cities, as well as the local rich and rural people, etc., all of these must be well known in his mind.

Fortunately, Tang De came to Zhulongling this time, and he himself brought a few capable and reliable helpers he had found in Jinpeng Bank in the past few years. It can be straightened out slowly.

Lu Zhongming and his wife also left, but what Lu Zhongming and his wife expressed to Zhang Tie before they left made Zhang Tie shout out that his character had exploded.

The news that Lu Zhongming and his wife were going to join the Iron Dragon School was no small matter to Zhang Tie or the Iron Dragon School.

Of course, Zhang Tie welcomed the decision of Lu Zhongming and his wife with both hands. He has no reason not to welcome them. These are two knights. It became five, two earth knights, and three black iron knights. This kind of power is already a big bull in Youzhou and the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion.

Lu Zhongming and his wife left Zhulongling to return to Guzhou to deal with the affairs of the Minling Sword Sect. After dealing with the affairs of Guzhou, the two of them would bring their disciples to join the Iron Dragon School.

After Zhang Tie's flying boat was returned to Taiyi Xuanmen, the flying boat that Jin Quandao gave him was still customized according to Zhang Tie's request, and it would take another two months. Now the only flying boat in Iron Dragon Sect is Bai Suxian's car Flying boat, Zhang Tie directly asked Bai Suxian’s flying boat to send Lu Zhongming and his wife to Guzhou. The speed of the flying boat is so fast that it only takes five days to go back and forth from Youzhou to Guzhou. If you take the flying boat, you may not be able to make it in two months Come on, after Lu Zhongming and his wife deal with the affairs of Guzhou and Minling Sword Sect, Zhang Tie will let Feizhou go and bring them and their disciples back.

Lu Zhongming and his wife chose Shengquan Peak among the Eighteen Peaks of Xuantian as the place where the couple settled in Iron Dragon Sect. Therefore, as soon as Lu Zhongming and his wife left, Zhang Tie called Lu Yishan and took it. The gold ticket of 1 million gold coins was given to Lu Yishan, so that Lu Yishan could directly start building the housing facilities in the line of Shengquanfeng.

For the cost of building palaces and the like, 1 million gold coins is already a large amount. The mountain gate of Iron Dragon Sect Xuantian Peak has only cost more than 1 million gold coins so far. Half a year ago, even if it was in Xuantian City Buying land to build villas and courtyards, the combined price of an ordinary villa courtyard covering an area of ​​one acre can be bought for more than 1,000 gold coins. Now because of the bloody people, the housing prices outside the city are even cheaper.

Lu Zhongming and his wife came to vote, so Zhang Tie would naturally not be stingy about it.

Zhang Tie met Lu Yishan in the main hall of the Iron Dragon Sect. After Zhang Tie handed the golden ticket to Lu Yishan, he found that Lu Yishan looked a little strange today. After getting the golden ticket, there was nothing wrong here. But Lu Yishan didn't leave, but hesitantly talked about what he wanted to say to himself.

"If you encounter any embarrassing things, just tell me if you have anything to say, I'm not a tiger!" Zhang Tie asked simply.

When Zhang Tie said this, Lu Yishan gritted his teeth, his face flushed, as if he had made up his mind, he knelt down in front of Zhang Tie, and kowtowed three times to Zhang Tie, "Like the suzerain! Don't dislike it, my Lu family is also willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the suzerain, and do things for the suzerain with all my heart,

The Lu family will never betray, if they violate this statement, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth. "

Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lu Yishan, who was still a little nervous, and his face became serious, "Do you want to be my general?"

"Exactly!"

"Is this what you mean or your Lu family's meaning? Have you discussed it with the elders of the Lu family?"

"I have already discussed with the elders in the family, and the Lu family is willing to work for the suzerain!"

Lu Yishan bowed down again, his hands and palms were aligned on the ground in front of his knees, his entire upper body was completely attached to the ground, but his forehead touched the palms, this is a gesture of complete surrender , Zhang Tie didn't speak, but Lu Yishan kept this posture, motionless, to show his sincerity.

Zhang Tie knew that Lu Yishan had heard the news after he accepted Li Tao as a general yesterday. Once he opened his mouth, Zhulong could build a relationship with him, and at the same time he was optimistic about his future and his character. Individuals and clans will naturally be tempted to squeeze into this big ship of their own. The choice of the Lu family is a bit unexpected, but it is not too surprising. Many wealthy families in Xia often keep a large number of retainers. Those retainers are the ones who are willing to be driven by various wealthy families.

Zhang Tie looked at Lu Yishan, to be precise, he looked at the gray hair on Lu Yishan's head after he lowered his head. Those gray hair touched Zhang Tie a bit.

"Okay, get up, from today onwards, you are my general, remember to do things for me with your heart in the future, and I will naturally not treat the Lu family badly!"

"Meet the lord!" Lu Yishan bowed to Zhang Tie again, and then stood up with a look of excitement on his face.

"Okay, let's go down and do things..."

Lu Yishan backed away from the grand ceremony, backed all the way to the door, and then turned to leave. Lu Yishan tried his best to keep his footsteps as quiet as possible, so as not to let the sound of his footsteps reverberate in the hall.

The main hall in front of me can accommodate thousands of people to hold ceremonies and gatherings here, but at this moment, the main hall is empty. The obsidian floor in the main hall is so bright and clean that it can almost reflect people's shadows. The wooden giant pillar exudes a quiet sandalwood fragrance, which fills the ceremony.

Watching Lu Yishan leave, Zhang Tie let out a long breath, took a sip of the tribute tea in the cup in front of him, then stroked the delicate porcelain cup with one hand, lowered his head, meditate...

Different from Li Tao's determination to forge ahead, Lu Yishan is more mature and prudent, and he is cautious in doing things. He is qualified to be his own general. Li Tao can do things, and Lu Yishan can also do things. What Li Tao does may give I am pleasantly surprised, but people like Lu Yishan can do things without making mistakes. The Sanyan construction business group is strong and has the construction qualifications of a first-class big city. I have such a retainer and construction business group by my side. , it will be much more convenient in the future.

Lu Yishan is his general, and Lu Yishan's grandson is his apprentice. For the Lu family, he has the dual status of master and patriarch. It seems that the Lu family is determined to get on their own chariot Yes, and in a hurry...

Why are the Lu family in a hurry?

In addition to being optimistic about my own future and believing in my character and character, there is probably one reason that is the same as the reason why Lu Zhongming and his wife wanted to join the Iron Dragon Sect, and that was the sense of crisis.

Faced with such a situation where the tiger's body was shocked, all directions came to vote, and the hero bowed before bowing his head, Zhang Tie was not dazzled by the victory and situation in front of him, but still maintained a clear understanding and insight.

Lu Zhongming and his wife saw the crisis, and the Lu family also saw the crisis. Now that the Taixia bloody chaos is raging, everyone has seen the crisis. In this kind of systemic crisis, the instinctive response of all intelligent creatures is to hold together.

As far as the sense of crisis is concerned, neither the Lu Zhongming couple nor the Lu family feel more deeply and sharply than Zhang Tie, because before Zhang Tie came to Taixia, he had already experienced the collapse of continents one after another. Seeing the destruction of countless countries with my own eyes, seeing countless people become slaves and walking corpses in front of me, and the destruction of the Weiyi subcontinent is just the appetizer of this Holy Chalk War.

Zhang Tie is also in a group, and his approach to Tianji Gate and Guangnan Yu Palace is also a group.

The strong can be accompanied by loneliness and the starry sky, but Zhang Tie, who has witnessed the collision of tens of thousands of knights from the human and demon races in the earth element world, dare not call himself a strong man even today, because even a knight of the earth , Sometimes life is very small, so he can only hold together. What is a real strong man? Zhang Tie's answer to the so-called strong man was still a little vague before. He felt that his master Zhao Yuan could be regarded as a strong man. After returning from the earth element world, he had a clearer understanding of the strong man in his heart. And a clear definition - only those who can survive alone in the face of the tens of thousands of knights surrounded and strangled by the tens of thousands of knights he saw in the earth element world can truly be called strong.

Zhang Tie thinks that he is still far away from such a strong state.

Since you are not strong, you can only hold a group.

Just like what Erqida said in the letter he left to himself, the so-called future is just a collection of countless possibilities, and there is no definite future. The trump card, no matter how bad and unoptimistic the situation of the human race looks now, but as long as it is not the last moment, the hope of the human race will always be there, and the countless possible choices in the future are in the hands of the most powerful people. hands.

It is strength for a person to become stronger and walk to the top of the road through cultivation, and it is also a kind of strength for a person to unite more people to form a tower - this is Zhang Tie's belief.

After he really settled down and prepared to take root and develop, Zhang Tie realized that these years, he only cared about cultivation, and there were still too few people around him who could really use him...

The sound of crisp footsteps coming from the entrance of the main hall made the pensive Zhang Tie raise his head.

Bai Suxian walked in from the outside of the hall with swaying steps, "The 2,000 dead men given to you by Guangnan Yu Palace have already arrived at Xuantian Peak..."
