Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 555: The competent ones take over

"Look at these censors, they all talk with their buttocks. They are ugly and ugly, are they worthy of comparing with our eldest brother?"

"What's wrong with your virtue?"

"How ridiculous!"

"I think they clearly want to sit in this seat."

Ning Zhongtian's curses were heard in the room.

The news about Shenxiao City has spread, including the news that Li Rui is going to become the elder of Shenxiao City.

The powerful people in the State of Yu had already reached the limit of their patience when they saw Li Rui, a peasant from a humble background, become a marquis, but they watched as Li Rui snatched the fattest piece of meat.

Suddenly I couldn't sit still.

That’s the elder of Shenxiao City!
Now that the Jinting Small Cave Heaven has fallen into the world of immortal cultivation, their sights are of course no longer limited to the State of Yu.

Many powerful people want to take this opportunity to get close to those great immortal sects.

Create an immortal clan for all eternity.

The elder of Shenxiao City is undoubtedly an excellent position.

I don’t know how many people are staring at me.

However, he did not expect that this coveted fairy peach was picked quietly by Li Rui.

Angry from shame.

This is why he instigated the censors to impeach him.

This matter happened far away in the capital, but it reached the ears of Li Rui, the person involved.

Of course Ning Zhongtian was very angry.

Li Rui, however, said calmly, "Fourth brother, alright, now that we have gained an advantage, let's keep a low profile, pack up well, and follow me to Shenxiao City in a few days."

"yes, Sir."

Ning Zhongtian managed to endure it with great difficulty.

See this.

Li Rui had no choice but to add: "I just received news that many young people in the Censorate were demoted to the northern border by His Majesty. What else should we be angry about?"

Li Rui is very capable and holds a high official position.

Those powerful people thought about it and came to the conclusion that he was not worthy of his position.

But the Holy Emperor sent people there to promote virtue, right?

That requires real fistfighting.

What we want is for the capable to take the position.

Talk about it.

It’s also because those young censors don’t know how to judge the situation.

Li Rui went to Shenxiao City because the Holy Emperor asked him to do so.

If the plan is ruined because of this, it would be a huge loss. How could the Holy Emperor not be angry?

If you provoke someone in the right way, being demoted is considered a mercy.

That's how it is in the world.

If you don't understand clearly, you may be used as a tool and lose your life without knowing it.

Not everyone can sit in that position in Shenxiao City.

It's almost the same as expanding territory.

"Master, before we go to Shenxiao City, when will we go to Fengyi?"

Yuan An asked curiously.

His master became a marquis, and a marquis with real power. It is certainly impossible for the Holy Emperor to be trapped in a cage in the capital like a canary. He must have a fiefdom.

Although it is not as great as Yuan Dingting's fief of a state, it is still extremely remarkable.

It’s Donghai City.

A fiefdom of a city.

Such a canonization is very meaningful.

Everyone knows that although Donghai City is nominally the land of Yu State, it has never been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

I can't control it either.

But if Li Rui was granted the title of marquis in Donghai City, it would be different.

It is still not under the control of the imperial court, but at least it is more in line with the etiquette in name, and that is enough.

And look at the entire Yu State.

Only Li Rui can be the Marquis of Donghai City.

Li Rui was a marquis, which was an official title. So by this calculation, Gao Tianxia became a local celebrity.

"We really should go and take a look. We can't just stay here forever."

Li Rui joked.

Yuan An quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter how long you stay."

He asked this question, not because he wanted to drive Li Rui away, on the contrary, he wanted Li Rui to stay for a few more days. The master was conferred, and according to etiquette, he should have followed.

But he has a special identity.

It’s true that he is Li Rui’s disciple, but he is also the future young marquis of Annan Marquisate.

It is inevitable that a future marquis will be criticized if he is conferred the title following another marquis. Even if he doesn't care, there will be people who will poke Li Rui in the back, and he will not allow this.

Seeing Yuan An panic, Li Rui laughed: "Xiao Hu, you have stayed with me long enough. You will be a marquis in the future. When Marquis Yuan goes out, you, the only son, must take care of the family."

"Yes, Master."

Yuan An felt a little reluctant, but since Li Rui said so, he had no choice but to accept it.

Li Rui patted Yuan An on the shoulder.

He turned to Ning Zhongtian and the others and said:

"Fourth brother, call the brothers, it's time to go."

Ning Zhongtian rubbed his hands excitedly when he heard it: "Great, I can't wait to see what it feels like to be a local emperor."

The sea tides rise up and the clouds rise up day by day.

A touch of crimson clouds illuminated the entire Donghai City in red, and the sound of the tide could be heard even when standing at the city gate.

"arrive."

Everyone looked up at the mottled city gate.

Li Rui was still okay, but Ning Zhongtian and the others just couldn't remain calm at all.

This is a holy place in the eyes of warriors all over the world!
It was their first time here, so they were inevitably excited.

And he was even more excited at the thought of meeting City Lord Gao, who was the best in the world.

Li Rui retracted his gaze: "Let's go."

Donghai City is different from other cities in the world. One of the differences is that there are no guards at the city gates, so anyone can enter.

Anyone who dares to do this is either stupid or fearless.

Donghai City is of course the latter.

Which thief is so stupid as to dare to come to Donghai City to cause trouble? Does he think his life is too long?

Donghai City has numerous streets and is as prosperous as Kyoto.

To have such a weather.

Firstly, due to the location of Donghai City, sea transportation is extremely convenient. Secondly, thanks to Gao Tianxia, ​​this city is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Over time, it has become the largest black market in the world.

There is nothing strange in this city.

“It’s a good thing.”

Tan Hu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the vendor who was selling third-level spiritual medicines as if they were carrots.

The same is true of Ge Hong and Wei Ming.

The four of them followed along purely to broaden their horizons.

Li Rui was sealed as soon as he arrived.

It was certainly inappropriate for the Yuan family to come along, so he only brought a few of his closest people.

Again.

Even if my brother becomes rich, he cannot let his brothers become poor.

I will bring it to Shenxiao City later.

Now that he has become an elder, it is of course impossible for him to become a commander without any troops. Ning Zhongtian has now reached Tongxuan, which is the Miaoxuan realm in the world of immortal cultivation. He is qualified to be a deacon, and more importantly, he is trustworthy.

Look while walking.

Soon the group arrived at the easternmost end of Donghai City.

It's near the sea.

The sound of splashing water never stops in my ears.

In front of Li Rui and his companions, a four-story attic appeared, named Donghai Pavilion.

This building is often praised as the best in the world.

Of course it’s not that the building is tall, but the people living in the building are tall, very tall.

Even the Holy Emperor once said that the highest place in the world is only four stories high, and this is what he was talking about.

When Ning Zhongtian and his companions saw Donghai Pavilion, their fingertips began to tremble slightly.

"Is it possible to meet Lord Gao?"

They looked again and saw the eldest brother who was the disciple of City Lord Gao.

"You will definitely see it!"

As if inspired by the mental power of several people, under the surprised gazes of Ning Zhongtian and others.

A tall figure walked out from Donghai Pavilion.

As majestic as a mountain.

"Disciple, I pay my respects to the Master."
