Chapter 936 Return to Yingcheng

With two hundred thousand red soul coins, Du Wenbian solved his urgent need.

Zhou Ran warned: "City Lord Du, as a city lord, you should know that you cannot give anything to outsiders! For the sake of your wife's face, I will not pursue this matter this time. If you do it again, I will not be lenient!"

Du Wenbian quickly knelt down and said: "Champion Hou, I don't dare to do it anymore! I don't do it anymore!"

Zhou Ran stopped talking and left the inn.

Du Wen followed closely, his face full of sadness.

"Marquis Champion, it will be very satisfying to drive the Qing Kingdom's tax department out of the border town, but if you do this, the leader of the Qing Kingdom will definitely be angry. What should we do if he raises an army to invade?"

Zhou Ran was too lazy to pay attention. After returning to the city lord's mansion, he fell into a deep sleep.

After one night, Zhou Ran said goodbye to Du Wenbian and Lin Xuan.

Du Wenbian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhou Ran is the champion of Jingguo, Zhou Ran has been living in the city lord's mansion, and Du Wen is restless as a thorn in his back.

After sending away this great god, I can have a peaceful life and no longer be afraid.

As for Lin Xuan, he looked regretful.

"Zhou... no, layman Qingfeng, I didn't expect that you would leave just after we met again. I also want to follow you, but the Lin family has business to do, and I can't leave. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We There will always be time to meet again.”

Lin Xuan spoke sincerely.

Thanks to Zhou Ran, the Lin family will receive a lot of care in the border town.

In this way, there is no need to worry about others competing with the Lin family for business.

"treasure!"

Zhou Ran said goodbye to Lin Xuan and came to the city lord's wife again.

"Madam, I admire you very much for being a woman. This time, if you hadn't spoken out for justice, I'm afraid Jingguo's face would have been humiliated by City Lord Du! After I leave, if City Lord Du neglects his duties, you must advise him. Ichiban, if he doesn’t listen, just tell me and I’ll make the decision for you!”

"Thank you, Champion!"

The city lord's wife saluted gracefully, while Du Wenbian's face was ashen.

Zhou Ran made a promise to his wife, didn't he put himself on the line?

From now on, how will I, the lord of a border city, see anyone?

After finishing what he wanted to say, Zhou Ran left the border town.

Going all the way south, it didn't take long before we arrived at Qingfeng Mountain.

Zhou Ran went up the mountain and came to Qingfeng Villa.

Li Hu, Liansheng and others immediately came out to greet them.

"Brother Qingfeng, why did it take you so long to be here? There is no news at all. What happened when you went to the capital?" Li Hu asked curiously.

Zhou Ran did not answer, but looked at his apprentice Liansheng.

"Liansheng, have you practiced well during my absence?"

"I practice every day!"

Liansheng nodded heavily, and then started to perform basic skills.

Power burst out from the body. Although it was weak, Zhou Ran knew very well in his heart that Liansheng had reached the threshold of cultivation.

Zhou Ran came to Qingfeng Hall and summoned everyone.

"Everyone, although Qingfeng Mountain has a quiet environment, it has poor resources and is not suitable for cultivation. Therefore, I plan to let you live together in Ying City. Ying City is prosperous and has all kinds of elixirs. It is more convenient for cultivators."

As soon as this statement came out, Li Hu and others were immediately surprised.

Li Huzhan said tremblingly: "Brother Qingfeng, we used to be mountain bandits and were hunted down by various city-states. Will there be any accidents when we go to Ying City?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said,

He said: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one in Jingguo will dare to touch you!"

With these words, Li Hu and others finally felt relieved.

After spending the night at Qingfeng Villa, everyone left the Villa and headed towards Yingcheng.

After several days of trekking, we finally arrived at Yingcheng.

Yingcheng was the capital of the Jing Kingdom, and its prosperity was naturally extraordinary.

Li Hu, Liansheng and others were eye-opening and shocked. When Zhou Ran led everyone to the Champion House, they were even more surprised.

"Master, is this your mansion?" Liansheng asked cautiously.

"Yes, we will live here from now on."

Zhou Ran nodded and led everyone inside.

The palace of the Champion Marquis was so magnificent that it was jaw-dropping. When the maids and servants in the palace saw Zhou Ran, they all knelt down and saluted.

Li Hu said in shock: "Brother Qingfeng, I didn't expect you to have been granted the title of Marquis! I think back then, the head of Jingzong was granted the title of Marquis of Wuyang because of his great contributions, but your title of champion is still above Wuyang Marquis. "

Not only Li Hu, but also the group of people under Li Hu were all excited.

The eldest brother has become a champion. It is said that if a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, his own life can also rise to the top and reach a new level.

Zhou Ran took everyone to get familiar with the environment of Champion Hou's Mansion, and then said to Li Hu: "Li Hu, from today on, you are the steward of Champion Hou's Mansion. You are fully responsible for all matters in the house, and other brothers are also responsible for them." They are all servants of the house.”

"yes!"

Li Hu burst into tears of gratitude. It was a life well spent for him to follow Zhou Ran, his eldest brother.

From today on, he is no longer a bandit, but a steward of the dignified champion prince's house. Even the dignitaries of Jingguo must treat him politely when they see him.

Zhou Ran returned to Champion Hou's Mansion and held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Li Hu and other brothers.

During the banquet, Gongsun Yu was also invited. Gongsun Yu was particularly happy to see Liansheng, Li Hu and others.

Originally, he could only hide in Qingfeng Mountain, but now, thanks to Zhou Ran's help, the Gongsun family has been vindicated, and he has become a superior person in Jing State.

"Uncle Qingfeng, we are finally reunited. I hope that from now on, Jing State will be peaceful and free of disputes, and everyone can live and work in peace!"

Gongsun Yu's words made Zhou Ran's mouth curl slightly.

"Live and work in peace? How can it be so easy?"

Zhou Ran sneered and stopped talking, but drank by himself.

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the palace of Qing State.

The reason was that the King of Qing State was in a bad mood.

The tax commissioner was sent by the King, and his purpose was to use the military power of Qing State to put pressure on the border city and take the opportunity to exploit the border city of Jing State.

Originally, everything was going according to plan, but a champion marquis suddenly appeared inexplicably.

The Marquis of Guanjun drove the tax commissioner of Qing out of the border town and took back the 200,000 red soul coins that the tax commissioner had extorted. When the tax commissioner returned to Qing from the border town, the king was naturally furious.

The tax commissioner was not doing his job well, and the king ordered the execution of all the people, but even so, the king was still not satisfied.

The king of Qing vented his anger on Jing.

"Damn Jing, don't think you can be fearless just because you won a battle at Jianjia Pass! Qing is far more powerful than Jing. You can hold on for a while, but you can't hold on for a lifetime!".

The king talked to himself and found Duan Xuan, the right general of Qing.

"Duan Xuan, is there any news about Bai Chen?"
