Chapter 188 The city lord’s anger

When Ding Huan returned to the City Patrol, Yan Mei and Lao Liu were happily counting the crystals inside the patrol.

"Brother Huan..." Seeing Ding Huan coming back, Lao Liu was the first to come forward.

Normally it is not so active, mainly because it discovered a problem, which is that no matter how hard it tries, it cannot build a foundation here.

Since it cannot build a foundation, the world has lost its color and colour to it.

But today, it has found its own value and color of existence.

Bringing a group of younger brothers to show off in Xifeng City, or as an official representative, isn't it for the purpose of building the foundation to be so majestic?

As for revenge for the previous life, haha, if you can’t even build a foundation, what revenge is there?
"Brother Huan..." Yan Mei also came over to greet him.

Seeing that Lao Liu and Yan Mei both called him Brother Huan, Gu Bin, Wu Xun, Bei Huoer and Peng Leizhi also quickly called him Brother Huan.

Ding Huan swept his mind across the ground and saw a pile of crystals, several thousand of them.

It seems that Yan Mei and Lao Liu have reaped a lot this time.

"Well done. From now on, when you patrol the city, just call me captain. Sit down first and let's chat." Ding Huan was very satisfied.

After everyone sat down, Ding Huan said, "From today on, the city patrol will take over the entire West Wind City."

"Huan...Captain, what about the City Lord's Mansion?" Yan Mei didn't understand the situation and asked immediately.

After all, in terms of official position, Ding Huan, the captain of the city patrol guard, is far inferior to the city lord of the City Lord's Mansion.

Ding Huan waved his hand:

"Don't worry about the City Lord's Mansion. If he dares to stop us, Lao Liu can just kill him."

When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately patted his chest:
"Brother Huan, leave it to me."

Captain or not, it doesn't take it to heart. In its eyes, there is no need to complain about what you can do.

Gu Bin and his companions were terrified when they heard this. After all, in the previous division of power, their city patrol guards belonged to the City Lord's Mansion.

Now Ding Huan spoke without taking the City Lord's Mansion seriously, and it was obvious that he was preparing to undermine the city lord.

However, thinking about the Tieli League that was destroyed by Yan Mei and Lao Liu today, and the hundreds of shop owners who helped the Tieli League being killed, they wanted to say something but did not dare to.

Their current captain is no soft-hearted person.

"Yan Mei, you probably won't be able to build your foundation in the short term. If you want to join the sect, then wait. If you don't want to join the sect, why don't you just follow me and practice. What do you think?"

Ding Huan looked at Yan Mei.

Yan Mei said without hesitation: "Brother Huan, I will practice with you."

Ding Huan’s aptitude is not good, but the Extreme Shadow Escape that Ding Huan taught him is definitely an awesome skill among awesome ones.

Moreover, today he saw Ding Huan's method of killing people, that invisible wind blade, which was ridiculously strong. He suspected that even if a foundation-building expert saw Brother Huan, he might not be able to defeat him.

"Okay, I've found a place to live in the Dajing District. When you finish your business and come back, I'll teach you the skills I practice." Ding Huan said immediately.

He does not have a foundation-building technique now, and he is looking for a small courtyard in the Great Crystal District in order to create a foundation-building technique for himself.

With such unique conditions, if you don't find a foundation-building method that suits you, you deserve to be stepped on by others in the future.

"Just give the order, Captain." Although Yan Mei did not pat his chest like Lao Liu, his tone was firm.

He understood Ding Huan's thoughts best. Seclusion and hiding were not the goals. Finding a quiet place to improve one's strength was the real goal.

Ding Huan chose Xifeng City and would never just stand still.

He believed in his own eyes and choices. He chose the Double Soul Sect the first time because he was inexperienced. If he made the wrong choice again, it would mean that he was really bad.

Ding Huan felt that talking to a smart person like Yan Mei was simple:
"Yan Mei, take Lao Liu and the four people here with you to recruit a patrol team in Xifeng City. The number of people... let's decide on 1,200 for now."

"what……"

Gu Bin and others who were envious of Yan Mei just now were shocked by Ding Huan's words.

Recruiting 1,200 people? Is this a rebellion?
Ding Huan said before that we don’t need to worry about the City Lord’s Mansion, but if the City Lord’s Mansion dared to stop him, he would let Lao Liu take action. This was already a rebellious statement.

"Captain, I think, I think..." Gu Bin gritted his teeth and decided to tell what he knew.

Today was such an exciting day. I don’t know how many life and death experiences I experienced.

"We are all family now in the City Patrol, so just say whatever you want to say." Ding Huan said to Gu Bin.

He felt that Gu Bin was wasted, and this guy actually still had some potential.

After getting Ding Huan's approval, Gu Bin quickly said:
“In fact, in East City and South City, there is a leader named Pan Qi, and North City and West City also have a leader named Gu Zhanjian.

These two are both ruthless and have killed countless of our city guards. If we recruit more soldiers, they will definitely attack us."

Ding Huan laughed: "Take a few people with you and clean up the bodies on Shengdao Street. I killed Pan Qi and Gu Zhanjian when I came here just now, so there is no need to worry."

The huge surprise made Gu Bin unable to react for a long time.

In fact, although Yan Mei and Lao Liu led them to kill the people from Tieli League, they did not feel safe.

As long as Pan Qi comes back, he might even kill the city patrol guards.

"Don't worry, City Lord... No, don't worry, Captain. I, Gu Bin, will definitely do everything the Captain has instructed me to do."

Gu Bin was so excited that he almost mistook Ding Huan for the city lord. Ding Huan stood up:

"Gu Bin, you will serve as Deputy Captain Yan's assistant and recruit patrol guards in Xifeng City. There will be a total of 1,200 people, and the salary will be one crystal stone per month.

In addition, the patrol city guards will also take over the West Wind City Guards. Not everyone can come and go as they please..."

In order to avoid being disturbed in his cultivation, and also to bring more peace to West Wind City.

Ding Huan not only recruited more than a thousand patrol guards, but also asked Yan Mei to take over the city defense. At the same time, he established new laws for West Wind City based on the laws of the Burning Star Lordship.

This included collecting management fees from merchants, some taxes, prohibiting fighting, and reclaiming all houses in West Wind City that did not have title deeds, or were occupied...

Not only that, even the Happy Branch was banned from circulation by Ding Huan.

This thing is a drug. Since he is in charge of West Wind City, this thing must be banned.

It was not until two hours later that Ding Huan left the city patrol and returned to his residence.

It will be hard for a few days, but once West Wind City is stable, he will be at peace.

……

When Ding Huan returned to the courtyard in the Dajing District and began to study the storage bags, Xue Bu's face in the West Wind City Lord's Mansion turned ashen.

Not only was his face pale, but his hands were also shaking.

Ding Huan was really too arrogant. A mere captain of the city patrol guards, he actually dared to recruit city patrol guards in Xifeng City.

Since the West Wind City garrison guards were disbanded, West Wind City has not had a garrison for decades.

"City Lord." When Xue Bu was feeling uneasy, a woman's voice came from outside.

"Yi Yi is back, come in." Xue Bu tried to calm himself down.

A moment later, a woman in black walked in.

She was Xue Bu's confidant Cang Yiyi. She came before Xue Bu, bowed, and said:

"After investigation, it was found that Ding Huan was very powerful. He easily killed Pan Qi, Gu Zhanjian, Shan Huer and Kong Xin. No one helped him in the process. He didn't even use any magic weapon. He only relied on the wind blade..."

Xue Bu, who had been so angry that his face turned blue just now, suddenly calmed down. Pan Qi, Gu Zhanjian, Shan Huer and Kong Xin were all people with similar cultivation levels to him.

"Is Ding Huan a foundation-building cultivator?" Xue Bu asked in a hoarse voice.

Apart from building the foundation, how can one kill these four guys who are at the ninth level of Qi training at the same time?
Cang Yiyi shook his head: "I'm not very clear about this, but if he has established his foundation, why would he come to Xifeng City?"

Xue Bu was silent for a long time before he said:
"I need to retreat recently and work hard to build my foundation. Even if I leave West Wind City after building my foundation, I will kill this bastard.

Yiyi, just keep an eye on the people in the City Lord's Mansion and collect the taxes from the shops in the Central City District. Don't go against Ding Huan's patrolling city guards."

Cang Yiyi remained silent.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Xue Bu frowned.

Cang Yiyi said somewhat uneasily:

“I just received news that Ding Huan has taken over the entire West Wind City, including the Central City District.

It can be said that except for the City Lord's Mansion, all shops must be responsible to the City Patrol Guards, and taxes and management fees must also be paid to the City Patrol Guards. Even the Household Registration Department has been taken over by the City Patrol Guards."

There was one more thing she didn't say. She suspected that after a while, even the City Lord's Mansion would have to pay management fees to Ding Huan.

"Okay, okay..." After Xue Bu said the word "ok" with gritted teeth, he calmed down.

After another half an incense stick of time, he sighed:

"In that case, then just do the Happy Branch business. There's no need to compete with him."

Cang Yiyi had no choice but to say again: "The Happy Branch business has been banned by the city patrol guards. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it in the future."

"Bang!" Xue Bu slapped the coffee table and stood up at the same time.

The emotions he had tried so hard to control could no longer be contained, but they were about to burst out again.

Is it Xue Bu who is the lord of Xifeng City, or is it Ding Huan who is the lord of Xifeng City?

"Go call Ding Huan and tell him that there is an important matter to discuss in the City Lord's Mansion." After walking around the room a few times, Xue Bu decided to confront Ding Huan.

If Xuebu is not given any benefits, will he just sit here and starve? What is the point of building a foundation?

"City Lord, I'm just worried that Ding Huan might have bad intentions..." Cang Yiyi couldn't help but add.

Xue Bu snorted:
"He doesn't dare. Even if the Burning Star Lordship doesn't care about West Wind City, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch if a city lord is killed."

Cang Yiyi thought so too. Xifeng City has existed for so long, and all kinds of changes have happened, but no one dared to touch the city lord.

Xue Bu knew in his heart that he was no match for Ding Huan, but he still had confidence in the City Lord's Mansion.

As long as Ding Huan has not established his foundation, he can use the City Lord's Mansion's trap formation to kill Ding Huan.

In his judgment, the possibility of Ding Huan building a foundation is very small, and at most he is just killing someone above his level.

There is no reason for a cultivator who has established his foundation to stay in Xifeng City.
