Everything started from an unexpected invitation that the twins received

On the first day of May, in the Fairyland Pavilion of the North City, coon Society, Shangguan Fei, and the

There was an unspoken rule on the invitation: theone servant This was verbally delivered by the officer who sent the invitation

This invitation was unexpected because the commandant occupied a sinecure post He had never interfered in the battles of South City Moreover, on the surface, the twins had looked like they had reconciled They wouldn’t need an authoritative figure like hily, the twins rejected the invitation unanimously The Stone Castle soon sentMaster that it would be better to go to the gathering at Fairyland Pavilion

Out of everyone who knew about the invitation, Gu Shenas theseveral ti the basic salary of several thousand taels in his own na Hence, he knew very clearly the nature of this commandant This commandant would always avoid conflict and would not hesitate to direct his responsibilities to others Getting involved in the twins’ conflict was very unlike hi, the tins arrived at the venue on the invitation This was the first time they met each other after the battle in the Peach Forest They were both aard and kept giving way to each other They were so polite that they didn’t seem like family members at all Later, they both sat in separate corners and never looked at each other again Both ilance and were scared that the other would be up to souan Ru’s servant but in front of hishid his s speech

Gu Shenwei had seen Zhong Heng’s ability to beat about the bush and speak nonsense However, his speech was exceptionally long this ti out for two hours, Gu Shenwei finally fainted He did not understand what the commandant had in mind

The twins had already lost interest There was an expression of tolerance on their faces If it hadn’t been for the Stone Castle’s hint on the iathering long ago

“Ah, Lord Zhong, please be direct Was it the Governor who sent you?” Due to his relations with the Horned Dragon Society, Shangguan Fei knew a littlelaughed and expressed his agree direct” still took 15 minutes However, what he arrived at finally was a sih ranked sinecure administrative official- the Governor A new Governer was appointed every three years The Central Plain, Norland and Shu-lik took turns appointing the new governer

The current Governor was someone fro to the usual practice, all the forces of Jade City had to send a “Protective Talisold and silver

It was called the “Protective Talis his duties, the Governor would write a memorandum of praise when he returned to his country He would praise Jade City for its peacefulness This way, the big poon’t interfere in the matters of this city directly

“So this is how it is How much do you need? Couan Fei had plenty of money and would not take this “bribery” to heart However, the su said startled him

“Oh, it’s like this In suchto donate and it depends on how ive Of course, there are precedents Take the Tenth Young Master’s Kun Society for instance, donating 150,000 would be enough The Ninth Young Master’s Horned Dragon Society has enerous If you don’t have a proble a million would be sufficient”

“What!” The twins stood up iuan Ru still owed Slave Huan ed to accrue hundreds of thousand taels To think that it was still not enough! The two decided to use that th However, they did not wish to waste it on the Governor They didn’t even know the Governor’s naon Society need to give that much?”

“Currently, the territories of several ed with the Horned Dragon Society’s territory Hence… if the territories were to be split, more could be donated”

The twins finally understood what their brotherhis power in the South City In reality, he was exchanging it for a hot potato Shangguan Ru used all of her territory to exchange for Kun Society It turned out to be a blessing due to a uan Ru flat out refused

“I’uan Fei was not very bold but he was not afraid of the officials in the Jade City

Zhong Heng was not angry and his face did not turn red either He took his ti could possibly end on a sour note He took out his tru Master, let’s not sour our relations I’ any of the silver so why am I so concerned? I’ve spentfu and acco However, I have accrued enough experience over the years So, here’s a piece of advice: don’t be too hasty in your refusals Ask around when you’re back and solicit the opinions of others, especially the elders under your authority If you don’t trust me, you can always trust them”

The twins did not trust anyone Those “elders” handed over their money but not their authority In na Master but in reality, they were still loyal to their former masters

The two muttered their retreat hastily They scolded the Governor as they went downstairs, regardless of whether he could hear the the restaurant, the two siblings remembered that they were now ene goodbye

Less than three days later, the twins realised that things were not that simple This “Protective Talisle tael short

Lady Meng had never interfered in the twins’ matters directly This time, she sent their confidantes to visit the twins to tell them the importance of the bribe
