Chapter 145: City Lords
"Although I didn't spend much time with him, I could tell he was someone I could trust."
After hearing Qing'er's words, Xia Aoxue sat on the wooden chair in the room, holding her cheeks and muttering.
"I'll tell you~ (whispering)"
Qing'er put her face close to Xia Aoxue's ear and whispered softly:
"I heard that the Queen has sent people to Cangling Mountain to observe Young Master Chentian."
"Huh? Really?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Aoxue asked in surprise, "Where did you hear this? How come I don't know?"
"I heard this yesterday when I went to deliver cakes to the Queen, and the Queen didn't intend to hide it."
Qing'er explained:
"I was just outside the door and heard the Queen and her maid discussing this matter."
"Oh, I see."
Xia Aoxue nodded to show that she understood.
Xia Aoxue nodded in agreement.
“Besides, I think Young Master Chen Tian is a very good person. He is not only handsome, but also very polite and treats the princess very well.
"If he can become the princess's husband, I believe the princess will be happy."
Qing'er said with a smile that as Xia Aoxue's closest maid, she had naturally seen Zhang Chentian's portrait and heard rumors about him.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Xia Aoxue smiled and said in agreement:
"Chentian is a man worthy of trust. I believe he will not let Mother down."
After saying this, Xia Aoxue showed a confident smile on her face.
"Alas, I was about to awaken my King Body a while ago, but my father said there was news about the Exquisite Sacred Heart Grass, so he told me to wait for a while."
Xia Aoxue sighed, with a hint of helplessness and regret in her tone.
"But the eighth-grade exquisite sacred heart grass is not so easy to obtain. It has been almost three months and it has not returned yet."
Xia Aoxue frowned slightly, her eyes revealing her concern for her father's safety.
At this point, Xia Aoxue's face showed worry.
She couldn't help but think of the scene when her father left, and her heart was filled with uneasiness and worry.
"Princess, since the king has said so, there must be a way. After all, he is the ruler of a country and he will not joke with his own life."
Qing'er saw Xia Aoxue's expression and held her hands to comfort her.
"I understand. Don't worry, Qing'er, I'm fine." Xia Aoxue said with a forced smile, trying to hide her inner anxiety.
……
Cang Ling Zhang family!
At this time, seventy percent of the Zhang family members were standing on the training ground.
They looked solemn and their eyes were determined, as if they were waiting for important orders.
"Now that arrangements have been made for the seven southwestern cities, the mayors of each city will depart for their posts tomorrow!"
Zhang Zongyu, the head of the Zhang family, stood on the high platform with a loud and majestic voice.
His eyes scanned the crowd below, confidence and determination gleaming in them.
"But you must remember one thing: no matter where you are or what position you hold, you are all members of the Cangling Zhang family."
Zhang Jingting's voice is filled with pride and responsibility towards his family.
He emphasized the spirit of unity and mutual assistance among family members, and hoped that everyone could work together to contribute to the prosperity and development of the family.
"Any children you give birth to will be sent back to the clan land when they are six years old and educated in the family school. Do you understand?"
Zhang Zongyu stood on the high platform, looking at the dense crowd below and shouted loudly.
"I understand! I understand! I understand!"
Everyone in the Zhang family shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
After saying this, Zhang Zongyu walked down the platform and stopped talking.
After discussion among the top leaders of the Zhang family, it was decided to give the position of Tianshui City Lord to the second elder Zhang Zongyan.
After all, Tianshui City is close to the Zhang family, so there is no need to send someone with particularly strong strength to guard it.
Next, the candidates for the city masters of several other cities were also determined:
The mayor of Tianbao City advocates a charge into battle!
The mayor of Wutan City is Zhang Chenguang!
Zhang Chenwu, the mayor of Wucheng!
The mayor of Jiuyang City, Zhang Chenhu!
Aoki Castle Lord Zhang Yihao!
The mayor of Nanshui City, Zhang Chentian!
As for management experience, there is no need to worry too much.
The Zhang family will send several experienced elders to various cities to assist the newly appointed city lords in management.
These old men are all experienced "old drivers" who have their own unique insights and methods on how to govern the city and handle various affairs.
Coupled with the support and cooperation of local forces in each city, I believe these new city lords will be able to get started quickly and ensure the stable development of the city.
In this way, the Zhang family's ruling position in various places was further consolidated, and at the same time, a solid foundation was laid for the family's prosperity.
Of course, this is also a test for young people like Zhang Chenguang. They are the backbone of the Zhang family's future and have a great impact on the future of the Zhang family.
"Tian'er, you must be careful when you go to Nanshui City. The people there are quite mixed, with all kinds of people. A few years ago, a powerful person above the Spiritual Realm even came here."
Zhang Zongyu's voice was filled with worry and seriousness. He knew that although Nanshui City was not prosperous, it also hid many dangers and challenges.
Especially the appearance of the mysterious strong man who appeared a few years ago made him feel uneasy.
"Even the king was alarmed at the time. As for what happened afterwards, I don't know. I think the court must have blocked the news."
Zhang Zongyu continued, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
He was worried that Zhang Chentian would be in danger. After all, that kind of strong man was not someone Zhang Chentian could deal with at the moment.
Zhang Zongyu looked at Zhang Chentian standing beside him and said solemnly:
"Tian'er, you must be careful and try to avoid conflicts with those unidentified people. If you encounter trouble, seek help from the local court or family in time."
Zhang Chentian nodded seriously, indicating that he understood what Zhang Zongyu meant.
He knew that he had the expectations and responsibilities of his family and had to act with caution.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do. The development of Nanshui City in a few years will definitely surprise you."
Zhang Chentian replied confidently with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Zhang Zongyu laughed heartily, his eyes full of satisfaction. He saw Zhang Chentian's determination and confidence, and believed that he would succeed.
"As for the family and the Abyss, don't worry. With us old guys here, there won't be any problems."
Zhang Zongyu patted Zhang Chentian on the shoulder and comforted him. He knew that Zhang Chentian was most concerned about the safety of his family, so he emphasized it.
Zhang Zongyu looked at his grandson with satisfaction that was beyond words. He believed that Zhang Chentian would not disappoint everyone's expectations and would become the pride of the Zhang family.
Zhang Chentian's heart warmed, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely work hard!"
He was well aware of the weight of the burden on his shoulders and the difficulties of the road ahead, but he was not afraid.
