Film and TV: People in Joy of Life become stronger by reading

Chapter 117 Governor Xue, you have such great authority!

"Boss, this guy was locked in an iron cage when we went there. It took a lot of effort for the brothers to open the cage."

"From this we can see that this person must be someone extraordinary. If we get him in our hands, we might be able to make a fortune!"

After listening to his subordinates' analysis, Xia Qifei also felt that there was some truth in it.

"You two, go outside and get a bucket of cold water and wake him up."

The subordinate turned around and left. Not long after, he came back with a bucket of water and poured it all over Yun Che's face.

A chill came over him, and Yun Che shuddered violently as he woke up from his coma.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, there was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank our village master!"

The subordinate kicked the rude guy in front of him in dissatisfaction.

Yun Che’s face darkened and he raised his hand to slap him.

"Oh!"

The man was knocked flying, his chest sunken in, he was deader than dead!
Xia Qifei and the others were stunned for a moment, and even Yun Che stood there in a daze.

He looked at his palms and was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, my strength has recovered!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura burst out from his body.

Yun Che unexpectedly discovered that after this tempering, his cultivation had actually improved further, and now he had reached the late ninth level.

The excitement gradually subsided, and Yun Che finally had time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Under the powerful aura, many bandits at the scene were frightened and their faces turned pale, and Xia Qifei was no exception.

He didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a powerful warrior in the late ninth level. If he could pull such a person into the water fort, wouldn't it be more helpful to his plan?

Thinking of this, Xia Qifei gritted his teeth, stood up, walked forward, and bowed respectfully.

"My name is Xia Qifei. Congratulations on regaining your freedom!"

Yun Che nodded in satisfaction and retracted his aura.

"Well, you are quite sensible. I was framed by a villain this time, and you saving me is a credit. I allow you to make a request."

A look of joy flashed in Xia Qifei's eyes and he bowed again.

"Sir, I would like to invite you to stay in our water fort for a long time."

Yun Che snorted coldly: "Isn't it just as simple as living here?"

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, sir. I would like to invite you to serve as the elder of our water fort. You can be busy with your work on weekdays. If you encounter special situations, you only need to take action."

"With your late ninth-grade cultivation, it won't be a problem for you to dominate the entire Jiangnan region."

Xia Qifei's face was full of tension.

He did not dare to deceive Yun Che about this matter. After all, the status of Jiangnan Water Village was very sensitive. It would be unwise to offend another late ninth-grade master.

Yun Che fell into deep thought.

He actually preferred to return to Dongyi City, but when he thought of Yun Zhilan's attitude when he left the day before, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

If he returned to Dongyi City now, according to Yun Zhilan's attitude, he would most likely be escorted back to Qing Kingdom.

Since Si Gu Jian was unwilling to come out to rescue him, it meant that his disciple had been abandoned.

Since we can’t go back to Dongyi City, we might as well stay in the water fort for the time being.

I've heard for a long time that Jiangnan is a rich place with many beauties and famous prostitutes. I'd take this opportunity to go shopping!
"Okay, I agree to this, but you can't refuse my request as long as it's not excessive."

"No problem, sir, please go and rest first. I will arrange for someone to prepare a banquet to welcome you."

Xia Qifei sent Yun Che away with a smile on his face.

He didn't expect that recruiting a late ninth-grade master would be so easy. Such a simple thing made him feel a little elated.

Just as he was about to order people to prepare the banquet, one of his men ran in from outside in a panic. "Boss, something bad has happened. Someone shot an arrow just now. There is a letter on the arrow, saying that you have to open it yourself."

Xia Qifei frowned.

This is the headquarters of Jiangnan Water Fort. He has deployed many visible and hidden sentries within a radius of fifty miles. How did the other party get in?
Thinking of this, he stepped forward and picked up the letter, on which were written some conspicuous large words.

Written by Xia Qifei himself!
"How arrogant of you to call me by my first name!"

Xia Qifei's face darkened. He tore open the envelope and his face became extremely gloomy when he saw the contents inside.

……

Two days passed.

Li Chengping didn't seem to be worried at all about Yun Che's disappearance. He took Zhang Han and others to play in Suzhou City every day.

Under the good environment of Suzhou, many brothels have emerged. The girls here have the gentle temperament of the Jiangnan water town, with soft and unique voices.

But beneath her pretty appearance, she doesn't have much talent or skills.

Li Chengping once found a prostitute to listen to his music out of interest. The music he played was just okay, and was far inferior to Si Lili's.

In addition, he found that 90% of the industries on the market were related to the Ming family.

The remaining 10% are made up of powerless small vendors who are scrambling frantically just to make a living.

The prosperous scene of Suzhou is just an illusion. Behind the scenes is the Ming family's endless oppression and exploitation of ordinary people.

When he thought of this, Li Chengping felt a little disgusted with the bustling streets in front of him.

The so-called wealth only allows those wealthy business families to fill their stomachs, while the lives of the common people are still in dire straits.

The so-called prosperity is nothing but an illusion of peace!

Thinking of this, Li Chengping felt annoyed.

"Zhang Han, who is the current governor of Jiangnan Road?"

"Your Highness, the current governor of Jiangnan Road is named Xue Qing, and the governor's office happens to be in Suzhou City."

"That's great, let's go over and meet the Governor!"

Li Chengping smiled coldly, left a silver note on the table, and went straight to the Governor's Mansion with Zhang Han and others.

at the same time.

Inside the Governor's Mansion of Jiangnan Road.

Xue Qing, the current governor of Jiangnan Road, was sitting on a high seat, toasting with Zou Lei, the current censor of Jiangnan Road of the Censorate. The two were chatting happily.

However, as the two of them were the chief officials of Jiangnan Road, they did not talk about local politics, but instead some unsightly topics.

Just as the two were talking happily, the butler walked in with his head lowered.

"Master, the guards are reporting that there is a man outside who claims to be a prince from the capital and asks you to go and greet him."

"Oh, what a bullshit prince! I have never heard of this news. I will just ask the guards to drive him away!"

Xue Qing waved his hands impatiently.

Seeing the butler lowering his head and acting indifferent, he felt a little angry.

Just as he was about to scold them, Xue Qing was dumbfounded when he saw two figures standing at the door.

Fortunately, Zou Lei next to him reacted in time and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Zou Lei, the Censor of Jiangnan Road of the Metropolitan Censorate, pays respect to His Majesty Prince Wen!"

Xue Qing finally came to his senses and knelt down.

"Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Road, pays respect to His Majesty."

His cold eyes swept over the two of them. Li Chengping pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Xue Qing with a half-smile.

"Governor Xue, you have such great authority!"
