The reason he was only the Master of the City in nau Jian and the Sword HutHe enjoyed the wealth and rank without lifting a single fingerHe only acted on their behalf to carry out simple state affairs

The Master of the City looked worriedly at the hed faintly”Master Yun, to say so to last erAs the first disciple of the Sword Hut, you must have some ideas”

Yun Zhilan, the first disciple of the Sword Hut, lowered his head slightly, andtime, he said, ”Teacher has his plansThere is no need for you to be overly worried”

”Even if I don't worry for myself, I must worry for the people of this city” The Master of the City stared into his eyes”If we truly fall to the Qing Kingdodou and be a free and leisurely yi has worked hard to build itself to what it is todayAre we truly just going to give it up with both hands to the Qing Ereat enemy?

Yun Zhilan knew the Master of the City was purposely speaking so pompously because he orried that once the city broke and the Hut dispersed, there would be a probledou to be a free and leisurely marquis, there would be no need for hi E ruthlessnessIf the Master of the City wanted to go be a leisurely reeted with a goblet of poisonous wine

Yun Zhilan had to adhts as the Master of the CityAs a ninth-level ace, he wasn't worried about his future after the city fellEven the Qing Erown up in Dongyi and felt a love and a sense of belonging from the deepest parts of his soul toward the city and Sword HutNo yi would fall without a fight and be clai territory

Of course, it would be the best for the future of Dongyi if it could remain outside of the tersIf ether with the coether

Yun Zhilan furrowed his brows slightlyHis eyelids fluttered weakly a few tih theure in the Sword Hut having an iotiation was successful, then Dongyi would stand out bravely and carry out the do the Master of the City, he said, ”Some will not surrender”

The Master of the City was startled slightly, as if he had not expected the reply to be so straightforwardTo speak truthfully, the Master of the City had been in a state of unrest two years

He looked at Yun Zhilan with hesitation and said, ”What does the sword saint intend? I have not seen him in two years”

Yun Zhilan did not reply to this questionHis expression was slightly strangeEven he, the first disciple of the Sword Hut, did not knohat his teacher was thinkingWere they going to fight or surrender?

He iure in the Sword HutTaking a deep breath, he said, ”Presumably, teacher also does not wish for his life's word to be ruined”

The Master of the City locked his brows together tightlyGlancing at Yun Zhilan, he said, ”Everyone in the world knows the sword saint had been injured two and a half years ago at the hands of the Qing Einally, us common people believed that he would certainly not lean toward the Qing Kingdo these two years that Thirteenth wang, the sword saint's last disciple, was close to the Qing Kingdom's Fan XianI wonder if you have any opinions on thisthis, Yun Zhilan's expression beca is my brother discipleAll his actions are directed by our teacher”

”It is because his friendshi+p with Fan Xian is directed by the sword saint that I am worried,” the Master of the City looked said seriously

Yun Zhilan fell silentIn the past, he had also felt a boundless chill about this arrangeht his proud and ruthless teacher would, before his death, be satisfied in tossing aside his deep hatred to have secret contact with the Qing Kingdohed in his heart and thought, I have no objections toward youEven if our teacher has you take over the Sword Hut, I will obey you, but…

The lantern on the table suddenly flickered and cast an unsteady darkness across Yun Zhilan's cold faceHe knew thepeople to disrupt the iotiation in the Sword HutOutside the Sword Hut, he had already arranged for countless aces to hide in aarden

Yun Zhilan raised his wine cup and took a shallow sip”I have alreadyPlease be at ease”

The Master of the City furrowed his brows and said, ”That is goodIt is fine as long as the Qing Kingdom's Fan Xian doesn't come personally”

”Sir Fan junior is still on the road” Yun Zhilan's eyes were soleo find my brother disciple on his own, I will have him stay there forever”

The Shadow asked froners only trust DongyiWhenever Qing people see these blue-eyed people, they always find it strangeFan Xian sIn his previous life, he had once been the aweson students buildingHow could he find seeing foreigners strange? Why dont the foreigners trust the Qing Kingdo to stop at Quanzhou for a few days, but theyve never entered deep into the landFan Xian asked in a quiet voiceNorthern Qi has no suitable port, so that doionThe Quanzhou port has been around for yis position?I am not sure about that eitherThe Shadow pulled down the briners had a good relationshi+p over 20 years agoLater, so happened to the Quanzhou navyIt scared ners awayFan Xian raised his brows and didnt ask any into the city, Fan Xian had kept his eyes and ears outHe finely savored the unique atmosphere of this radually understood so the center of commerce was because its peoples nature leaned toward freedouided by personal interestsOn the street, other than officials of the government ere there to ures to be seenAlthough he hadnt had the opportunity to personally witness the specific process of the trading, Fan Xian already had a powerful sense that Dongyis trading had a prototype agreeardless of whether it was the Master of the City or the Sword Hut, neither tried to control the actions of the h rules for theKingdonan area was developed, the development and prosperity were, for the nan coular production of the palace treasury, so its prices could be completely set by the court or hinan was a business ardless of whether it was the once illustrious Ming fa family, or Quanzhou Sun family, they were all vassals under the palace treasuryIf the court wanted these families to die, they had no choice but to dieThe court did not care about the sanctity of a contract withbusiness stemmed fro court, shaNo one could be like Fan Xian, using just the power in his hands to cause the Ming family to spray blood like a fountain and suffer innumerable lossesFor er lasting, and yi was like a place for the ather and rule over the to plot for advantageTheir lives and deaths were in the hands of heaven and not an iaze back fro suddenly surged in his heartIf Dongyi actually leaned toward the Qing Kingdo desire for power, how could he be willing to keep things intact for 50 years? How could he allow so many merchants to be on the land he ruled and not be under his control? If the Qing Kingdolory truly descended on the head of Dongyi, would this wealthy and free, or secret and filthy, large city maintain its present vitality?
