The helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac.
Wang Shan and his brothers got off the plane and couldn\'t help but wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads.
A general of the Blackguard was directly in charge here.
Jiangcheng City was almost a dragon\'s pool and tiger\'s den.
That was because, in the entire empire, a place that needed a general to be in charge could only have a general-level powerhouse that another country could not control in that area, or there was an unpredictable and terrifying risk.
Otherwise, the generals of the empire\'s Blackguard were actually in the process of constantly patrolling the entire empire.
The vast territory of the empire depended on the continuous patrolling and strengthening of these powerhouses.
It was like a ferocious beast patrolling its territory.
After they passed by, the energy emitted by their psionic power radiation was similar to that of a ferocious beast in nature.
It would leave a deep taste in the local area.
It would let everyone know that they should abide by the rules.
Especially to let those foreign species that had just awakened know that they should be afraid.
So as to prevent these monsters that had just awakened their intelligence but already had strength from harming the civilians.
Therefore, every general was a precious strategic resource.
"That general..." Wang Shan said with lingering fear, "I\'m afraid he\'s a lieutenant general..."
The other two brothers also nodded.
In such a place with a ferocious dragon guarding it.
They knew that it was very important to tuck their tails between their legs.
Otherwise, they wouldn\'t even know how they died.
Every general of the Blackguard had direct authorization from the central government and the imperial family.
Wherever they went, they could deal with all cases related to transcendent being affairs on the spot.
Other than not being able to make a move against civilians, they were almost the modern version of the imperial envoy, the inspector of the eight prefectures!
Their strength was also enough to support their authority.
Every general was one person for one country.
A single person could create a destructive force equivalent to a modern heavy armored army.
In front of such a person, the number was no longer important.
The only one who could deal with a general was another general.
Therefore, the three brothers even restrained their aura and spirit, not daring to put on any airs anymore.
They walked out of the tarmac and walked towards the VIP passage of the airport.
Just as they reached the door, a familiar voice came from behind them.
"Brother Wang..."
Wang Shan and the other two turned their heads and saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Zhang …" Wang Shan immediately greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see!"
The newcomer was wearing simple casual clothes and had a buzz cut. He seemed to be wearing some kind of special watch on his wrist. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and had a pair of exceptionally bright eyes.
He shook hands with the Wang Shan brothers one by one, then asked with a smile, "Are the three brothers also ordered to return to their hometown?"
Wang Shan nodded. "You know my old man's temper …"
"Little Brother, are you also unable to disobey your father's orders?" Wang Shan teased.
"Hehe!" The other party smiled mysteriously. He didn't refute, but he didn't admit it either.
It fit his image.
This was because he was the deputy director of the City of Salvation branch of the Blackguard, Zhang Fengxiao.
He was only 25 years old, but he already had the strength of a major!
It was really rare!
His future was limitless!
Thus, the four of them walked to the VIP passage together. At the entrance of the airport, they each took two taxis that had been booked and rushed back to their hometown.
It wasn't that they didn't have a car in Jiangcheng City.
In fact, with just a phone call, they dared to sit in any luxury car.
But …
They didn't dare!
Because they would get their legs broken.
What the old parents in their hometown hated the most was that they put on airs just because they had some money.
Wang Shan kept an eye out and specially sat in the same car as Zhang Fengxiao.
As the car slowly drove out of the airport parking lot.
Wang Shan asked tentatively, "Little Brother … has your company made a big move in Jiangcheng City recently?"
Zhang Fengxiao listened and naturally knew what the other party wanted to ask. He shook his head and said, "Brother Wang, you know the rules of our company …"
"I can\'t tell you this kind of trade secret …"
"Besides …" he laughed, "I\'m just a minion running errands. How can I come into contact with such a big strategy?"
"In the entire Guangnan branch, there aren\'t many people who can come into contact with such a big strategy!"
Wang Shan understood as soon as he heard that. He immediately smiled and said, "Little Brother, you\'re too serious!"
He thought for a moment and said, "Then, Little Brother, can you explain if your company\'s policy will be adjusted because of this strategy?"
Guangnan directly sent a great Buddha out of nowhere.
His appearance would inevitably lead to a series of changes.
After all, in the past, Guangnan was far away!
Under the rule of the Blackguard, transcendent being and foreign species had considerable freedom as long as they didn\'t touch the red line and bottom line.
However, now, a general had parachuted in.
Without knowing the other party\'s background, many things had become sensitive.
That was because some generals might be extremely conservative. If they encountered such a general, many things that could be fooled in the past would become dangerous.
If they were not careful, they might be treated as a chicken being killed for the monkeys.
Zhang Fengxiao naturally knew what Wang Shan meant. He smiled and said, "Don\'t worry, our company\'s strategy is the same as always!"
There was no need to hide such things.
On the contrary, there was a notice from the higher-ups asking every Blackguard official to publicize it as widely as possible.
The main purpose was to calm the people\'s hearts.
Wang Shan immediately felt relieved when he heard that. As long as the general had no intention of changing the current situation of Guangnan, then it would be easy!
"By the way …" Wang Shan looked at Zhang Fengxiao and asked, "Do you know anything about that descendant of the Ling family?"
Zhang Fengxiao shook his head. "I haven\'t seen him since I met him more than ten years ago …"
"But every year when I come back for the New Year and visit my relatives, my father and Jia Ci always urge me to take the initiative to pay them a visit …"
"I was also tempted once …"
"But when I went, he had already left …"
"All these years, I have also asked someone to inquire about him. He seems to be opening a bookstore in Jiangcheng City …"
Wang Shan listened and asked, "Then did you not use your company\'s system to investigate him?"
When Zhang Fengxiao heard this, his expression immediately turned serious. He looked at Wang Shan seriously and said, "Brother Wang, our department strictly forbids such things!"
"Once it is discovered, you will be fired directly and even have to face a lawsuit!"
It was forbidden to target power and strength at ordinary people. This was the supreme iron law of the Blackguard!
Emperor Gaozong's orders had been engraved into the bones of every black-robed guard from the day they took up their post.
Zhang Fengxiao was no exception.
When Wang Shan saw this, he immediately laughed. "Just kidding … just kidding …"
He didn\'t dare to bear the crime of instigating a Blackguard official to commit dereliction of duty!
The Federal Empire had preferential policies for law-abiding transcendent being.
However, once they broke the law, the cost of breaking the law was also several times that of ordinary people!
Give them a slap and then give them a sweet date.
The Federal Empire and the Blackguard used this method to clearly arrange all the transcendent being and foreign species within the Empire\'s territory.
As for those who didn\'t want to be arranged?
The grass on their graves was already three feet tall!
… …
Ling Ping\ 'an patted his stomach and sat in the courtyard of Uncle Zhang\'s house, lazily basking in the sun.
At his feet, the kitten, Bastet, was lying obediently.
"Comfortable!" He said happily, "Aunt Zhang\'s cooking skills are really unparalleled!"
"She\'s almost catching up to my cooking skills!"
To Ling Ping\ 'an, this was the highest praise.
As a gourmet, he was confident that his cooking skills were already at the level of a state banquet.
In any case, after eating many places and restaurants, he knew that almost no one could cook better than him.
"If young master likes it, then stay for dinner..." Aunt Zhang, who was wearing an apron, said with a smile. Obviously, she was very happy that her cooking skills could be certified.
"Sigh..." Ling Ping\ 'an shook his head, "No... I have to rush back..."
"There\'s still business in the shop..."
Well, he rarely told people about the things he wrote.
The main reason was that there were no results!
"Then the next time young master comes back, I\'ll make it for you again..." Aunt Zhang said with a smile. She was a very simple rural woman. When she smiled, she gave people a sense of loyalty like Uncle Zhang.
"It\'s just that it\'s too troublesome for you..." Ling Ping\ 'an said apologetically.
"It\'s not troublesome..." Aunt Zhang smiled and walked into the inner room.
She opened the kitchen door and looked at the meat that was hung on the beam.
The meat was shining with a certain luster.
They were the meat of monsters!
And they were the meat of great monsters!
There were only a few pieces left!
"Old man..." Aunt Zhang said to her husband, who was washing the dishes, "You have to prepare. You have to go to Nanyang again..."
"Kill a few more great monsters and come back!"
"Yes!" The seemingly honest old village chief smiled and nodded.
There were no longer any monsters that could be hunted in the Federal Empire.
The Blackguard controlled everything from the sky to the swamp to the rivers and seas.
Any foreign species that did not obey the system of the Blackguard were all turned into ashes under the lightning.
And those who were willing to listen to orders entered the protected area.
In the national nature reserves, great monsters swallowed and spat out the moonlight.
Under the requirements of the Blackguard, they cultivated on time and reported on time.
If they were willing to enter society, they would also be arranged.
In short, the situation in the Empire had been like this for the past hundred years.
However, sacrifices were still needed to be made to worship ancestors.
Therefore, they could only go to Nanyang.
They would choose a few evil demons and directly go to their door to kill them. Their skin and meat would be marinated before being transported back.
At this moment, the sound of a car came from outside.
The old village chief poked his head out and saw his son and the three Wang brothers getting out of the car.
He waved his hand and sealed the partition on the wooden beam.
His wife was about to go out, but he stopped her, "Don\'t go..."
The old village chief said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings..."
Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment but still nodded.
… …
Ling Ping\ 'an listened to the sound of the car. He lazily turned his head and saw four people who were older than him getting out of the car.
He raised his eyelids slightly, "They should be the children of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang, right?"
"They\'re all doing quite well..."
This could be seen from their dressing and bearing.
However...
No matter how well others did, what did it have to do with him?
Ling Ping\ 'an had always respected others, but he respected himself even more.
Because only those who respected themselves would respect others.
Out of politeness, he stood up from the recliner.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, meowed softly at his feet.
"Little darling, you\'re afraid of strangers..." Ling Ping\ 'an looked at it and said, "Then find a random place..."
Meow!
The little guy stood up and slowly walked under the chair before lying down.
Ling Ping\ 'an looked at the four people who were walking towards him.
The three leaders were well-dressed. Judging from their attire, they should be businessmen.
The person following behind him was gentle and had the demeanor of a scholar.
They walked in front of Ling Ping\ 'an and bowed slightly, "You\'re the young master, right?"
"I\'m Wang Shan..." The leader looked to be in his thirties. He stretched out his hand and said very politely.
"Hello..." Ling Ping\ 'an smiled, "You\'re welcome..."
"I\'m Ling Ping\ 'an..."
"Don\'t call me young master..."
"It\'s already 8240 years..."
When Ling Ping\ 'an was young, he had seen these people before.
But at that time, he was too young and his memories were a little blurry.
He only remembered that at that time, more than ten people bowed in front of him and called him\ 'Young Lord\'.
At that time, he didn\'t understand, so he suffered.
Now that he thought about it, it was really embarrassing and shameful!
Now, he naturally couldn\'t be the same as before.
And obviously, these four people had the same thoughts as him.
This could be seen from their demeanor and attitude.
It was really great!
The education of the Federal Empire was not in vain!
Everyone, at least in terms of personality, was free and equal.
Whether he was poor or rich!
This was very important!
Wang Shan looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
He was an ordinary man.
He looked a little lazy, and he was wearing simple clothes from head to toe.
Wearing a pair of cheap glasses on his eye sockets, he really looked nothing special!
Hearing his words, Wang Shan was amused.
"Very good..." he thought in his heart, "This descendant of the Ling family is more tactful than I thought..."
What he was most afraid of was that the other party would rely on his identity as a young master to eat and drink and order him around.
Then it would really be...
Of course, he couldn\'t let him do that.
At that time, he could just find an excuse to run away.
Even if the old man was angry, it would be the same.
Filial piety was one thing.
But foolish filial piety was another.
The small stick received and the big stick left. This rule had been in place for two thousand years.
Since the other party was so tactful, Wang Shan was happy to do so.
Of course, in order to take care of the old man, he still smiled and said, "Young master, you must be joking..."
He immediately straightened his back and said with a smile, "Young master, please allow me to introduce..."
"This is Brother Zhong, Wang Xiao..." A twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old man nodded at Ling Ping\ 'an with a smile, "Greetings, young master!"
"This is Brother Ji, Wang Yi..." A young man with a light beard and tattoos on his hands, who was probably about the same age as Ling Ping\ 'an, nodded reservedly, "Greetings, young master!"
"This is..." Wang Shan introduced again, "Brother Feng Xiao of the Zhang family..."
A young man wearing glasses, who looked gentle and refined, nodded slightly at Ling Ping\ 'an, "Greetings, young master..."
Ling Ping\ 'an shook hands with them one by one, "Hello... hello..."
After all the handshakes were done, he said, "Everyone is too polite..."
"This is not good..."
"Let\'s do as we like in the future..."
"Don\'t call me young master..."
"Call me Little Ling or Ping\ 'an..." He smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Let\'s talk about friends in the future..."
As the four of them listened, their faces were full of smiles.
Obviously, they were extremely tempted by Ling Ping\ 'an\'s suggestion.
After all, they were all educated and had already broadened their horizons and knowledge outside.
Although, when they saw Ling Ping\ 'an, they were still inevitably affected by the idea of\' loyalty to the Ling family\ 'that their parents had instilled in them since they were young.
But...
If possible, who would be willing to be someone else\'s servant?
Now, even gold-diggers knew that they had to work hard to get up.
What's more, they were manly men!
It was only because they were worried about their elders that they didn\'t dare to agree immediately.
Ling Ping\ 'an could tell. He immediately smiled and said, "I\'ll go and talk to the uncles..."
"As for us, we\'ll just treat each other as friends of the same generation..."
Wang Shan felt as if he had been pardoned and immediately said, "Thank you so much!"
He finally stopped using honorifics!
In his opinion, since the Ling family said so, then... even if the old man wanted to get angry, there was no place for him to vent his anger!
Right!
Wang Xiao also said, "Ping\ 'an is really grateful!"
He simply called him by his name.
Wang Yi and Zhang Fengxiao both laughed.
Obviously, they agreed with him.
However, they didn\'t know that pairs of disappointed eyes had already retracted from them.
