…

Jiangling Mansion.

The setting sun gradually disappeared, and a cold wind blew.

On top of the parapet in Jiangling Prefecture, Zhang Jingzhi, wearing a Confucian shirt, sat quietly in the depression of the parapet, looking at the gradually darkening sky, and slowly exhaled.

He is not a great cultivator, and his cultivation level is mediocre, but he upholds an awe-inspiring righteousness.

This is his way.

The night is cool.

Zhang Jingzhi, who was sitting alone on the tower, did not move, still quietly looking at Jiangling Mansion.

It was vaguely visible that under the walls of Jianglingfu City, there was thick blood spreading and escaping.

I still remember Luo Hong's hearty performance when he was under the city, and he formed an army with one man and fought against nearly ten thousand soldiers.

"Daluo Dynasty..."

Leaning against the cold masonry of the female wall, in the night, even the warmth stored in the last ray of sunlight has dissipated, Zhang Jingzhi murmured like a raving.

He wants to rely on his own strength to change Jiangling Mansion, but he deeply knows how much filth and sin is hidden behind the glamor and prosperity of Jiangling Mansion.

Unfortunately, he can't do it.

In this case, he needs Luo Hong to help him, which can be regarded as a meeting gift to the Daluo Dynasty.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded softly behind him.

"It's late at night, why is Magistrate Zhang standing alone on the city wall?"

"The Commander-in-Chief has ordered me to take Mr. Zhang back to his mansion to rest. In the next period of time, the Luo family rebels in the north of Saibei may take the opportunity to pass through Jiangling Mansion, and there may be chaos. The Commander-in-Chief has now ordered the prince to gather troops from various mansions.

In Jiangling, I will be in charge of Jiangling Mansion, Mr. Zhang, please don’t cause any extra trouble."

This is a top Jianghu guest with extremely strong Qi, but he is only one step away from being a strong one. He holds a sword in his arms, wears a hat with gray gauze hanging on his head, and has a chilling edge.

The sword energy is drawn but not released.

Zhang Jingzhi took another deep look outside Jiangling Mansion.

Then, he jumped down from the recess in the female wall and glanced at the man wearing a bamboo hat.

"You Jianghu people walk in the world and pay attention to your breath. As the leader of the Meteor Sword Sect, you are willing to be the lackey of the imperial court. Why bother?"

"Don't you know the tragic situation of Feiliujian Pavilion?"

"The scholars in Jiangling are very popular. It is rare to find a Jianghu sect, even if it is only second-rate, but I have always admired it. It is a pity..."

Zhang Jingzhi patted the dust on his hands and said.

Wang Wei, the leader of the Meteor Sword Sect, held his sword and frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

It was just a burst of energy that forced Zhang Jingzhi to leave the city wall.

In fact, Wang Wei didn't care about Zhang Jingzhi, but now Jiangling Mansion is controlled by the prince's power.

The Liu family in Beiling, the Zhou family in Nanling, and the Zhang family in Xiling... all the three major families in Jiangling Mansion also defected.

Ever since Zhang Jingzhi became the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture, she has been fighting endlessly with the three major aristocratic families.

The last sword appreciation meeting caused the three major aristocratic families to completely fall out with Zhang Jingzhi. After all, many geniuses from the three major aristocratic families died at the hands of Luo Hong. Naturally, Zhang Jingzhi chose to protect Luo Hong completely.

Tear your face apart.

Now that the prince's forces have intervened in Jiangling Mansion, the three major aristocratic families and the Meteor Sword Sect, without hesitation, immediately chose to side with the governor sent by the prince.

Zhang Jingzhi was also helpless, he was ignored.

In fact, if his father had not been the former chief assistant, his life might have become a floating corpse in the river.

After all, he is the official of the Great Xia Dynasty, but now... his life is not guaranteed.

Today's Jiangling Mansion is very important. After all, Luo Rentu, with his 300,000 black cavalry and two million migrating people, had to pass through Jiangling Mansion if he wanted to enter the Anping County area.

The prince sent someone to take charge of Jiangling Mansion in advance, with the obvious purpose of dividing the Luo family.

…

Jiangling Mansion, the lanterns are coming on.

This prefectural city, home to most of the literati in Daxia, is like a city that never sleeps, with flower boats floating one after another on the river.

And in a luxurious flower boat.

The heads of the three major families, the Liu family in Beiling, the Zhou family in Nanling, and the Zhang family in Xiling, as well as the heads of many small aristocratic families in Jiangling Prefecture, all gathered here.

Of course, in addition to the heads of the three major families, there is also a shadowy man wearing a brocade robe. This is the powerful man sent by the prince's lineage to take charge of Jiangling Mansion.

When the Great Xia battle rankings were still available, Wen Yiwei was fifteenth on the Great Xia rankings.

He was very powerful, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task by Prince Xia Ji and intervene in Jiangling Mansion.

And Wen Yiwei did live up to his heavy responsibility. After entering Jiangling Mansion, he completely ignored Zhang Jingzhi and ordered Wang Wei of the Meteor Sword Sect to monitor him and completely control the Jiangling Mansion's army.

Moreover, with the issuance of the crown prince's order, the government troops from various prefectures around Jiangling Mansion were mobilized and gathered in Jiangling.

Today, nearly 100,000 government troops are stationed around Jiangling Mansion.

This is a very terrifying force.

In the flower boat, people were drinking wine, the strong smell of wine was filling the air, and the sound of laughter and chatter was endless.

The heads of the three major aristocratic families kept toasting to Wen Yiwei, but the heads of other small aristocratic families were not qualified to toast.

Wen Yiwei didn't say anything.

A second-grade monk rushed in quickly.

"To report to the Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Jingzhi stood on the tower all day and night, while Commander Sun of the government army left the tower early and disappeared without a trace."

The flower boat suddenly became quiet.

The head of the Liu family sneered: "Commander Sun has left the tower? Is there any need to think about it? Zhang Jingzhi has sent people to move reinforcements."

"Now, Zhang Jingzhi has been completely ignored in Jiangling Mansion. He has offended the prince, and his end will be miserable. It is all his own fault."

The head of the Zhou family raised the wine cup, raised it suddenly, and the wine went into his throat. His eyes were indifferent: "Back then, Luo Hong killed countless people at the 'Sword Appreciation Conference' supervised by Duke Wei. Three of my family's geniuses were killed and injured.

Countless...this son has committed a heinous crime, but Zhang Jingzhi protected him, and his crime is unforgivable."

"Commander, why don't you kill Zhang Jingzhi directly? Keep him alive for fear of future troubles!"

The conflict between the heads of these three major aristocratic families and Zhang Jingzhi has long since broken out.

After Zhang Jingzhi became the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture, he continued to interfere with their industries. Even the black industries they were involved in were eliminated by Zhang Jingzhi. Countless wealth that should have belonged to them went into the Jiangling Prefecture's treasury, which made them hate Zhang Jingzhi.

urgent.

Now that Zhang Jingzhi has lost power, they will naturally step on her.

The head of the Liu family smiled: "The head of the Zhou family is serious. Zhang Jingzhi's father is the highly respected Zhang Shoufu. Now that Zhang Shoufu has just passed away, how can he kill Zhang Jingzhi?"

"Besides, the governor naturally has a purpose in keeping Zhang Jingzhi."

"Zhang Jingzhi is now in Jiangling Mansion, isolated and helpless. Who can he find for reinforcements?"

"Only Luo Hong."

"I heard that Na Luo Hong established his own dynasty in Western Xinjiang and named his country Da Luo. He was treasonous and unethical. Now Zhang Jingzhi is afraid that he wants to betray Da Xia and join Da Luo."

The words of the head of the Liu family made the atmosphere in the flower boat much clearer.

The head of the Zhang family in Xiling laughed: "Ha... Zhang Jingzhi has really helped us a lot. If Luo Hong dares to come, he will never come back."

"Now in the Jiangling Mansion, there are not only the Governor, a master on the Heavenly Ranking, but also twelve weak first-class members from the three major families including me, the Meteor Sword Sect and other forces..."

"There are 10,000 garrison troops inside the city, and 100,000 government troops outside the city."

"If Luo Hong dares to come, without Zhang Jingzhi's protection this time, he will never be able to leave Jiangling Mansion again."

The head of the Zhang family said confidently.

"The governor kept Zhang Jingzhi, probably also to attract Luo Hong."

Wen Yiwei glanced at the head of the Zhang family. He just wanted to say, you really think too much...

The three major aristocratic families and the Meteor Sword Sect all want to kill Luo Hong because Luo Hong once killed their genius.

However, Wen Yiwei's intelligence system is much stronger than those of these three aristocratic families.

Nowadays, Luo Hong is surrounded by many powerful people. If he really goes to Jiangling, he, Wen Yiwei, can't stop him.

Therefore, he is not as optimistic as the three major aristocratic families, but looks a little sad when he looks at them. This is the sadness of unequal information.

Today's Luo Hong is not someone you can afford to offend.

Fortunately, before he left, Prince Xia Ji gave him a talisman. This talisman was a defensive talisman. As long as he was not allowed to go out, no one would be allowed to enter Jiangling City once it was activated. The prince said that even if it was not done by Land Immortal himself,

Otherwise it would be impossible to break.

Once Land Immortal takes action, it means breaking the rules, and the rules will deal with him.
