Chapter 1556 Kowtow? !
City Lord's Mansion.
Jiang Qinglin led a group of core executives and stood in the open space facing the gate.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of chaotic footsteps approached.
Then, a group of luxuriously dressed and imposing people walked in.
The leader was a burly man. He walked up to Jiang Qinglin with his head held high, his face full of arrogance: "Do you know the purpose of this trip?"
"know."
Neither humble nor overbearing, Jiang Qinglin took a brocade box from Sikong Cheng beside him: "This is the seal of the city lord, please keep it."
"This seat has already said that Jiang Jiuxu's lineage—no way!" The man laughed loudly.
"Is it?"
Jiang Qinglin didn't care at all.
The position of city lord that he had so hard to get is gone, will he feel sad or even depressed?
Do not!
At the beginning, he was just a mother who was killed. He knew who the murderer was but couldn't take revenge. He was poisoned by a strange poison and his cultivation was stagnant. He was bullied by his half-brothers all day long, and he lived a lower life than a dog.
Lin Yu promoted him all the way to the position of city lord.
He has seen Lin Yu's abilities and methods with his own eyes.
He also knew Lin Yu's character very well.
Give away the position of city lord for nothing?
Even if he is willing, Lin Yu can't agree!
What's more, before Lin Yu left, he arranged things for everyone, obviously making a layout.
He doesn't care.
He knew that sooner or later the position of city lord would come back, even more glamorous than before.
Today's surrender is just a stopgap measure.
That being the case...
What is there to be depressed about?
It just temporarily lost the position of city lord. Compared with before knowing Lin Yu, those days when life was worse than death, what are they?
Now, I am much happier than those years!
"Let's go." He ordered the senior officials.
Thousands of members of the family had left earlier.
He stayed with a group of high-level executives just to complete the handover, and he should leave after the handover is completed.
"and many more!"
suddenly!
The burly man stepped aside, stood in front of Jiang Qinglin, and said coldly, "Now, you are no longer the Lord of Jinhong City, but I am."
"Yes, congratulations."
Jiang Qinglin nodded and smiled, still neither humble nor overbearing.
Damn!
Seeing the other party's appearance, Jiang Shaoji was very angry.
He was of the same generation as Jiang Shaoyi, who was framed by Lin Yu and killed by the special envoy of Wangcheng, but he was only of the same generation. In fact, his blood relationship was very distant-belonging to the two branches of the Jiang royal family.
Back then, his ancestors and Jiang Qinglin's lineage were all candidates for the mayor of Jinhong City.
Unfortunately……
He's lost.
Why are you so arrogant today?
To put it bluntly, it was the competition of ancestors many years ago, and now they are finally proud.
Of course he has to be proud.
He also wants to see the loss, sadness and grief of the other party.
however……
Jiang Qinglin was neither humble nor overbearing the whole time, and he didn't show the slightest bit of sadness, as if losing the position of city lord...it didn't matter at all.
This made it difficult for Jiang Shaoji to accept.
Years ago, the two bloodlines tried their best to compete for this position, and his bloodline kept holding his breath, but when he came to Jiang Qinglin, he didn't find any pleasure, and he didn't feel the other party's sadness.
It's as if for so many years, I have been clenching my fists to accumulate strength, just waiting for this day to come, and the result...
The fist that was punched out with all the strength missed the target at all!
"Since you are no longer the city lord, according to Jiang's seniority, kowtow to this seat before leaving." Jiang Shaoji stared at Jiang Qinglin coldly.
kowtow?
Everyone's expression froze.
According to seniority, Jiang Shaoji is much higher than Jiang Qinglin.
but!
There is already a long blood relationship between these two branches, let alone family affection...
Even when the two bloodlines meet, they don't call each other by their seniority at all, they just call each other by their first names.
In this situation……
How could Jiang Qinglin kowtow to him?
"What if I refuse?" Jiang Qinglin asked with a smile.
"I don't mind, as an elder, educate the younger generation." Jiang Shaoji stared at him sympathetically.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of masters followed behind him, stepped forward one after another, staring at Jiang Qinglin.
no doubt.
With the deaths of Jiang Jiuxu, Jiang Shaoyi, and Xing Mo, there was only one eighth-level master left beside Jiang Qinglin, and he was not surnamed Jiang—the strength of his lineage had been greatly weakened, far inferior to that of Jiang Shaoji.
Once you do it, you will be crushed!
"Don't go too far!"
Sikong Cheng took a step forward, glared at Jiang Shaoji and scolded angrily: "The higher-ups just ordered to complete the handover with you, but they didn't say that you can rely on the so-called seniority to bully people!"
"This is about my Jiang family, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Shaoji smiled.
"you……"
"fine."
Jiang Qinglin waved his hand, signaling Sikong Cheng not to intervene, and then smiled at Jiang Shaoji: "Before I walked out of Jinhong City, before you actually held the succession ceremony, who do you think... the city defense army listened to?"
Gah!
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoji's expression froze.
"Can you kill me? Can you kill all the city defense forces? Do you dare to kill them all? Or..."
suddenly!
Jiang Qinglin's smile was replaced by coldness and chilling: "You don't want to be the city lord anymore, but plan to fight with me to the death? I'm like this anyway, I don't mind pulling a back!"
Jiang Shaoji stared at him.
Similarly, Jiang Qinglin looked at him intently without any fear.
"Hahaha……"
After a while, Jiang Shaoji laughed loudly: "I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? That's right! Porcelain shouldn't collide with crocks—well, take your people and get out of the brocade." Hongcheng, immediately!"
Jiang Qinglin walked out without saying a word.
When he reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he paused: "We will meet soon, and I hope you can still laugh when we meet next time."
"Really? I'll wait! Remember to kowtow to me next time, hahaha..." Jiang Shaoji laughed again.
Why did he give up in the end?
That's right!
As Jiang Qinglin said, he had just received the seal of the city lord, and he neither held a succession ceremony nor contacted the city defense army.
At this time, the Jinhong City military personnel will only recognize Jiang Qinglin's face.
Once you start...
If it's just the two bloodlines fighting, his side will definitely have the upper hand.
but!
What if Jiang Qinglin desperately ordered the city defense army to encircle and suppress?
Facing an army of tens of thousands, even if his top experts are capable enough to protect themselves, most of the clansmen with average cultivation levels are likely to be slaughtered—he can't bear to die.
Conversely, Jiang Qinglin lost the position of city lord, and might break the pot.
but……
If there is a next time, the situation will be completely different!
He will soon announce his succession and take complete control of the military.
At that time, if Jiang Qinglin dared to come to Jinhong City, he could only let him squeeze and round.
soon.
Jiang Qinglin and others disappeared from sight.
After his side left, Jiang Shaoji showed a cold expression, and said sadly: "Wait for Jiang Qinglin to settle down there, determine where to stay, and find a suitable opportunity..."
He didn't continue talking, but needless to say, the subordinates understood the meaning of the following words.
