“Could it be because of the Qingzhi Tournament established by the four academies of the Wind Lightning Empire and the academies of the other cities?”
“Are there any relatives of the Advanced War General, Lord Peak Destroyer, among the disciples of the four academies?”
“Are there people from other Empires or Evil Faction Empires coming back to cause trouble in the Qingzhi Competition?”
“However, he even got Deputy City Lord Jia Shidao to be replaced by Deputy City Lord Han Yunshi.”
“Jia Shidao might be angered to death now, right? But he doesn’t dare to say anything, right? Hahahaha…”
City Lord Yang Wanli left the Military Department while laughing crazily in his heart.
After all, the former Deputy City Lord of Jia Shidao had always been at odds with him, City Lord Yang Wanli.
Now that he, Jia Shidao, had become the deputy commander, City Lord Yang Wanli was very happy.
Little did he know that Dong Lei was here to participate in the Qingzhi Competition…
Moreover, he had to get into the top three of this Qingzhi Competition!
As Dong Lei arranged for Han Yunshi to work as the vice city lord of Jinning City, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Military Department had already quickly ordered the soldiers to vacate the Deputy City Lord Manor.
It allowed Deputy City Lord Han Yunshi to successfully enter.
As the former Deputy City Lord, Jia Shidao was exceptionally angry.
It was already evening. They asked him and his family to immediately move out of the Deputy City Lord Residence.
Jia Shidao was very puzzled and angry. He could not figure out why it was so sudden.
Before he could react, he was arranged to move out of the Deputy City Lord’s residence.
Jia Shidao also received an order from the top War General, Lord Peak Destroyer, from the Military Department.
The order meant that he would be removed from his position as Deputy City Lord.
He also made him a deputy commander-in-chief of Jinning City.
Normally speaking, a city had a City Lord and two Deputy City Lords.
There was also a commander and several deputy commanders.
Compared to the Deputy City Lord, the Deputy Commander’s status was even lower.
Only the City Lord, the Deputy City Lord, and the Commander had their own residences.
No matter how many deputy commanders there were, they could only live in one deputy commander’s residence.
As for the deputy commanders in this deputy commander’s residence, they often fought for space in the house and attacked each other.
Jia Shidao belonged to the local forces in Jinning City, and his family also had a manor.
As he was removed from his position as the Deputy City Lord and became a Vice Commander, Jia Shidao immediately ordered all his subordinates to head to his Manor.
Instead of going to the Deputy Commander’s Residence to fight for rooms and positions with the other Deputy Commanders.
To Jia Shidao, the deputy commander-in-chief’s residence was not a place he liked to go or wanted to go.
Moreover, he had to snatch the space of the house from the deputy commanders.
He, Jia Shidao’s family, would definitely get the most.
However, Jia Shidao was unwilling to go to the deputy commander’s residence.
It was not easy for him to be promoted from a deputy commander to a deputy city lord.
In the end, he had become the deputy commander-in-chief again, which really made him, Jia Shidao, extremely angry.
Therefore, Jia Shidao went to City Lord Yang Wanli angrily to ask for an explanation.
Jia Shidao admitted that he had no conflict with the top War General, Peak Destroyer, who had just advanced!
Moreover, he, Jia Shidao, did not dare to have any conflict with Dong Lei.
The Advanced War General, Peak Destroyer, could kill him easily.
Their Jia family did not dare to provoke the Advanced War General, Peak Destroyer!
The people from the four major families did not dare to provoke the Advanced War Generals.
Not to mention that they were not from the four great families who had obtained the Jia family!
When Jia Shidao left the Deputy City Lord Residence, he grabbed the collar of another soldier from the Military Department and asked why.
The leader of the soldiers had heard Dong Lei’s orders with his own ears.
He did not dare to tell Jia Shidao that it was Dong Lei’s order.
After all, Dong Lei had already personally said that he could not reveal the news that he had come to Jinning City.
He knew his limits. He knew whether to offend an Advanced War General, or a deputy commander, Jia Shidao, who had been demoted.
Therefore, the leading soldier asked Jia Shidao to ask City Lord Yang Wanli. He did not dare to say anything.
Therefore, Jia Shidao went to the City Lord’s Mansion angrily to look for City Lord Yang Wanli.
Jia Shidao was a Three-Diamond War General and had quasi King-level strength.
The patriarch of the Jia Manor also had the strength of a Quasi Emperor.
He had spent a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and various equipment and treasures in the Jia family. Coupled with Jia Shidao’s military merits, he had also performed a little.
After being rewarded by the Advanced War General, Lord Xu Zhu, Jia Shidao finally became the deputy city lord.
Now, he was going to be demoted to the position of deputy commander. It really made Jia Shidao feel very uncomfortable and angry.
Only then could Jia Shidao be so bold and abrupt as to directly go to the City Lord Manor to look for City Lord Yang Wanli.
As Jia Shidao entered the City Lord Residence, he saw the smiling City Lord Yang Wanli drinking wine happily.
It was as if something had happened that made him, City Lord Yang Wanli, very happy.
When the servants of the City Lord Manor saw Jia Shidao, they did not dare to stop him.
Looking at Jia Shidao’s gloomy face as he quickly entered the City Lord Residence, as the City Lord’s servants, they could only follow closely behind.
Seeing City Lord Yang Wanli’s body, Jia Shidao was furious and shouted angrily at City Lord Yang Wanli.
“Yang Wanli, you’re the one who messed with me, Jia Shidao, right?”
As soon as Jia Shidao finished speaking, he actually pulled out the Quasi-King-level weapon in his hand. It emitted a light as he looked straight at City Lord Yang Wanli.
City Lord Yang Wanli, who was originally smiling, turned around and saw Jia Shidao’s appearance. He immediately threw away the wine cup in his hand.
Then, City Lord Yang Wanli stood up and held the double-edged Green Steel Sword in his hand. He asked with a disdainful expression.
“What do you mean? Do you want to kill me?”
“I’m about the same level of strength. Why don’t you go and take a look?”
“Besides, why should I, the dignified City Lord of Jinning City, mess with a Deputy City Lord like you?”
“This is the order of the Advanced War General, Lord Peak Destroyer, not mine!”
“I don’t have the right to write such an order letter to make you the deputy commander.”
Jia Shidao was still furious and continued to question Yang Wanli.
“Then 1, Jia Shidao, admit that 1 have no enmity with this Advanced War General, Lord Peak Destroyer!”
“Why did he choose to remove me from my position as the deputy city lord and let Han Yunshi, who came from outside the Dark Cellar, take it?”
“Could it be? Is this Han Yunshi your wife? Hmph…”
After hearing this, City Lord Yang Wanli’s expression changed drastically as he cursed back. The double-edged green steel sword in his hand also emitted a terrifying light, ready to attack Jia Shidao at any time.
“Shut up! Is Han Yunshi someone I, Yang Wanli, can mess with?”
“Let me tell you! Han Yunshi is the woman of the Advanced War General, Lord Peak Destroyer!”
“Moreover, why did the Advanced War General, Peak Destroyer, choose you and not Deputy City Lord Zhong Ruoyun?”
“You have to think about it carefully yourself. How can 1 know about this?”
When Jia Shidao heard City Lord Yang Wanli’s explanation, his expression changed.
It turned out that Han Yunshi had relied on the strength of an Advanced War General, Lord Peak Destroyer, to become the Deputy City Lord of Jinning City.
It was not City Lord Yang Wanli, who had a grudge against him, that had demoted him to the position of deputy commander through connections and money.
In that case, how could he, Jia Shidao, dare to compete with Han Yunshi for the position of Deputy City Lord?!
After all, if the Advanced War General, Peak Destroyer, was angry, he could completely crush the entire Jia family.
Thinking of this, Jia Shidao retracted his Quasi Emperor weapon and cupped his fists at City Lord Yang Wanli to apologize.
“I’m sorry! 1 was angry!”
“I’m really too angry. I apologize to you!”
Then, Jia Shidao turned around and wanted to leave the City Lord Residence and return to his Jia Residence.
At this moment, City Lord Yang Wanli also put away the King-level weapon in his hand and said ruthlessly.
“The next time you, Jia Shidao, dare to come to my residence, try it again!”
