Ten Thousand Sword Masters

After killing the fat and thin assassins, Zhang Jianyun immediately sent a message to Tang Guanshan, instructing him to speed up his operations in Black Horse Town and increase pressure on the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang and the Fish Dragon Gang.

Afterwards, Zhang Jianyun returned home.

"Brother Yun, why are you back so late today?" Lou Qingluan asked.

"Some things at the institute have caused some delays," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Brother Yun, I'll go heat up the food." Lou Qingluan said as she went to the kitchen to heat up the food and brought it out.

Zhang Jianyun ate his meal quickly, rested briefly, and then went inside to meditate and cultivate.

Replaying the scene of his fight with the fat and thin men in black in his mind, Zhang Jianyun felt a wave of fear. If it weren't for Zhu Lan and Mo Dun, he would probably be dead today.

This gave him a sense of urgency; he needed to improve his personal cultivation level as soon as possible and reach the Golden Wheel Realm quickly.

If I can break through to the Golden Wheel Realm, my ability to deal with crises will be greatly enhanced, and I will be able to better deal with this world.

After all, Zhang Jianyun did not expect that just by entering Black Horse Town, before even having a life-or-death conflict with the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang and the Fish Dragon Gang, these two gangs would spend money to hire so many assassins to kill him. Wouldn't it be extremely difficult for him to seize the territory of other towns in the future?

He wondered if he could postpone his promise to promote Xiong Changhai to the History Realm a month later. After all, given the current situation, even if Xiong Changhai wasn't at the History Realm, he could still control Tuanyuan Village.

After some thought, Zhang Jianyun decided not to break his promise.

After all, he had conquered Xiong Changhai through the system. Naturally, because of the system's existence, Xiong Changhai recognized him as his master and would do his best to serve him.

However, Zhang Jianyun hoped that he could gain Xiong Changhai's recognition and receive Xiong Changhai's wholehearted service without relying on the system's constraints.

After making the decision, Zhang Jianyun took out Yang Changping's experience notes and began to study them carefully, calming his mind.

As a new day dawned, Zhang Jianyun went to the slaughterhouse as usual to collect 2000 hostility points, and then headed to the pavilion.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Zhang Jianyun received a message from the county government instructing him to quickly proceed to the county seat to attend the 11 o'clock meeting.

This was the first time Zhang Jianyun had received a summons from the county. He immediately summoned Zhu Yiwen, an advisor, to ask what he needed to prepare for the meeting in the county.

"If the county holds a meeting, it's either to hear recent work reports from various departments, to assign tasks, or to address any unforeseen events. If the message doesn't specify what kind of meeting it is, it probably means there's an emergency. You don't need to prepare anything in advance; just go and wait for instructions," Zhu Yiwen said.

Zhang Jianyun nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, I'll head to the county town then."

Afterwards, Zhang Jianyun went to the stable, led out the Crimson Flame Horse, and galloped off towards Kaiyang City.

The Nine Star Guard Kaiyang County Bureau was located on Baihe Street in Kaiyang City. Zhang Jianyun rode his horse to Kaiyang City, asked for directions, and then went to the county bureau.

Before long, he arrived outside the county bureau.

On either side of the county bureau's main gate stand three stone lions, which is quite a sight.

Two armored soldiers stood guard at the entrance, looking imposing.

As soon as the horse entered the county bureau, a soldier immediately came to greet it.

"May I ask who you are?" the soldier asked politely.

"I am Zhang Jianyun from Cangxi Pavilion, here to attend the meeting," Zhang Jianyun said.

"So it's Pavilion Master Zhang. Give me the horse. The meeting room is in room number one," the armored soldier said, taking the reins from Zhang Jianyun.

Zhang Jianyun went to room number 1. After entering the room, he found a seat with the Cangxi Pavilion sign and sat down. There were already two people sitting in the room.

People arrived at the conference room one after another, and Yang Changping arrived as the meeting time approached.

"Sect Leader~" Zhang Jianyun greeted Yang Changping.

"Seeing the clouds~"

Yang Changping responded, then swapped the Sanhege sign with one next to Zhang Jianyun's, and sat down next to Zhang Jianyun.

"Master, you look much better," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"Haha, not bad. The food at Sanhe Pavilion is indeed much better than that at Cangxi Pavilion," Yang Changping laughed.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Deng De, the commander of the Kaiyang County Bureau of the Nine Star Guard, entered the conference room, and the noisy crowd quieted down.

Deng De sat down at the head of the meeting room, looked around, and saw two empty seats. "Tao Wenshu, why haven't the people from those two departments arrived yet?"

"Sir, the leaders of Little Bull Pavilion and Black Horse Pavilion just sent me a message. They have entered the city and are on their way to the county bureau," said Clerk Tao Luyi.

Deng De nodded upon hearing this, and remained silent, waiting quietly for the two who had not yet arrived.

Before long, the leaders of Xiaoniu Pavilion and Heima Pavilion arrived. They saw Deng De already sitting in the main seat and stood outside the door, not daring to come in.

"Come in and have a seat," Deng De said after glancing at the two of them.

With everyone present, Deng De began to chair the meeting.

"The reason I suddenly called everyone here for this meeting is that I just returned from a meeting at the state headquarters this morning. At the meeting, the state commander-in-chief announced some important news. The third princess of the dynasty has turned 18 and will be traveling the world. Of the thirteen states of the Great Yu Dynasty, the third princess has chosen five states to travel to, and our Ling State is one of them," Deng De said.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room instantly became much more serious. Everyone looked at Deng De solemnly and listened attentively to what he would say next.

Only Zhang Jianyun seemed a little confused, but given the atmosphere, he also maintained a serious demeanor.

"What it means for the princess of the dynasty to travel the world is self-evident. We will never know when the third princess will begin her travels, nor will we know when she will arrive in our Lingzhou, or which parts of Lingzhou she will visit," Deng De said in a deep voice.

Zhang Jianyun roared inwardly, "What does it mean for the princess of the dynasty to travel the world? Tell me! How am I supposed to know what it means if you don't tell me?"

"Therefore, the entire Lingzhou region must be on high alert to welcome the Third Princess's travels," Deng De said.

"Starting today, all government offices will operate on a 24-hour workday, and at least two staff members must remain on duty at the office even after hours. All staff members must maintain a friendly and approachable work attitude and must not engage in any domineering or oppressive behavior towards the public."

"Strengthen daily inspections in the jurisdiction, and promptly handle and report any strange or unusual phenomena discovered."

"Make arrangements with the local gangs and factions to ensure that no large-scale armed clashes occur in the near future."

Deng De's series of arrangements made Zhang Jianyun feel a sense of crisis. It was just a princess's trip, why make such a fuss? People who didn't know better might think that the emperor of the dynasty had come.

"That's about it for today. Please bear with us during this time, as there may be unexpected missions that require our assistance," Deng De said, his tone softening.

"That concludes today's meeting. It's lunchtime now, and the county bureau's canteen has prepared meals for everyone. Please eat before heading back," Deng De said.

After the meeting ended, the attendees started discussing among themselves in small groups, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Master, it's been a long time. Let me treat you to a meal," Zhang Jianyun said.

"The food at the county bureau's canteen is pretty good, let's eat here," Yang Changping said.

"Ahem~" Zhang Jianyun coughed awkwardly a few times. "Sect Master, I have some things I'd like to ask you privately."

Yang Changping was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, let's go out to eat then."

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
