Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

According to Bei Jun, the city lord of Sifang City is now the Zhou family's turn. The person from the Zhou family is also the two-time city lord. He is a master of cultivation. His name is Zhou Jiankang. He has done a pretty good job. At least the Fu family and the Zhang family have no objections.

Meng Zhao wants to form a closer cooperative relationship and alliance with Sifang City. The first hurdle to break through is Zhou Jiankang, and the second is the Council of Elders. If both sides are dealt with, it is almost done. The Zhou family, the Fu family, and the Zhang family will not have too many opinions.

"What kind of person is Zhou Jiankang?"

Meng Zhao knows very well that different strategies and methods should be used for different people.

It's just like the intersection at work.

At work, if your leader is an upright person who is devoted to studying technology and ability, and especially hates opportunists, then you'd better work hard and don't do small tricks, and you will naturally get promoted.

And if your leader likes to take bribes, accept gifts, and flatter, then even if you hate this behavior, you have to consider this aspect if you want to make progress. This is the reality.

Since Zhou Jiankang is the lord of Sifang City, the nominal number one, and Sifang City has its own behavioral logic and power structure, it means that this person's status and opinions are still relatively important. Meng Zhao needs to understand the other party and make certain preparations, even targeting him.

"According to my observation, Zhou Jiankang is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He is dedicated to the development of Sifang City. Although he has selfish motives, his public spirit is greater than his selfishness. He is definitely a qualified lord. As long as King Meng Long handles public affairs impartially, there will not be too many problems on his side."

Bei Jun also wants to make this happen. With Meng Zhao's help, there may be a chance to return to the land inside the pass in the future.

To be honest, with his martial arts and strength, there is no problem even if he hides back to Shenzhou, but he cannot give up his family and the human race here. He has to stay here because of his family.

Bei Jun's cultivation strength is so high that he has long been free from the so-called hedonism. Even in such a dangerous environment, for him, it is no different from the land inside the Shenzhou Pass.

He wanted to go back all the time, just for the sake of his family's descendants and his own homesickness.

Zhao Ruling suddenly said at this time,

"Bei Jun, in your opinion, how much success does the alliance between King Meng Long and Sifang City have?"

Bei Jun himself couldn't explain this clearly.

After all, he was a celestial being, and he had been away from the so-called power, the so-called middle level, and the so-called bottom level of Sifang City for too long. His perspective on the problem is fundamentally different from that of the people in Sifang City.

He thought it was easy, but the fact might not be so, and he knew it himself.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, he still shook his head and said,

"I don't know. Over the years, I have rarely communicated with people in Sifang City, but there should still be a certain chance of success."

Meng Zhao did not continue to ask questions, but just thought about the meeting later in his mind.

After passing through Zhang's house, they finally came to the center of the ice and snow world, the core of Sifang City, the City Lord's Mansion.

Compared with the vast land of Zhou, Fu, and Zhang San's family, the City Lord's Mansion seems much smaller, and of course, much more exquisite.

At first glance, it is not much different from the official residence in the land inside the Shenzhou Pass. Meng Zhao also thinks it is quite friendly.

The three of them still maintain a hidden state. The patrol guards of the City Lord's Mansion and many masters have never seen them, and they have no idea that someone has sneaked in.

Finally, they came to a hall.

This hall is not big, only about 30 square meters, forming a rectangle. A wooden curtain is divided on the north side, and a small piece is cut out to form a small study inside. Outside, it is a place for guests, with ten tables and chairs alone.

Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling did not take it seriously. Although this Sifang City is named after a city and the place is not small, the number of people in the entire city is also very large, so the population density is extremely high, and the per capita available area is very small.

Even if he is the city lord, the place for receiving guests should be exquisite and suitable.

Bei Jun invited the two to sit down and said that Zhou Jiankang would come to see them soon.

Although there was no tea and no hospitality, it was not impolite.

First, the living environment in Sifang City was obviously not good, and life was not convenient enough. It was inappropriate to blame the other party too much.

Although the real military strength of Sifang City may be above that of the Tingtian clan and the Feng clan, the two are not comparable at all.

The Tingtian clan is one of the hundred clans and the owner of the polar ice field. These people in Sifang City are just guests at best.

Therefore, the Tingtian clan can have tea, but Sifang City may not have it. The resources owned and contacted by the two are not at the same level at all.

Second, they came in without notice, and Zhou Jiankang did not know about it in advance. Of course, it was impossible for him to foresee and leave tea and snacks in this hall in advance for hospitality.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Jiankang finally hurried over.

Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling looked at the city lord from the Zhou family.

At first glance, he was in his twenties, in the prime of youth. In fact, he was already over fifty years old and a master.

His long hair was loose, and in the middle of his forehead, he wore a headband inlaid with cold jade.

His eyes were like stars, and under his right eye, there was a teardrop mole that looked like a red bean.

The facial features of the whole person are delicate, not very handsome, nor very strong and tough, but he gives people a comfortable, friendly and convincing feeling.

Looking at his clothes, he is much more glamorous than ordinary people.

He wears a blue shirt, a light white gauze dress, and a long sword with a sheath hanging around his waist.

The impression given to Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling is that he is very much like a young man from a powerful family in the interior of the country, very stylish and noble.

But the difference is that this person has a majestic temperament. Even if he is born with a pair of affectionate eyes, but with that cold and cold gaze, it can give people a sense of staring at death.

After Zhou Jiankang entered the room, he also observed Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling, then clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully to Beijun,

"Beijun, Jiankang is late, please don't blame me."

His attitude is very humble, but there are many people who pretend to be so.

Meng Zhao could see that this person sincerely respected and feared Bei Jun.

It was a simple truth. Bei Jun was a powerful man and the guardian of Sifang City.

Although Zhou Jiankang was the city lord, he was restrained by the Council of Elders and suppressed by the Zhou, Fu, and Zhang families. He was not a hegemon whose words were law.

For a person like Bei Jun who could decide the future direction of Sifang City, he was of course both respectful and fearful.

In fact, if he was not concerned about the city lord's identity and the presence of two outsiders like Meng Zhaozhao and Ru Ling, he might have had other expressions. (End of this chapter)
