Chapter 205 Account
"Junior Brother Ling is a warrior from Fuzhou. Some time ago, he went to Qizhou to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Competition and won the first place in the Heavenly Class competition. This is why he is qualified to become the personal guard of the city lord of any of the Five States." Guard Cheng explained to President Xu.

"It's just that my junior brother has good vision and chose our Yingzhou." Speaking of this, Cheng Qinwei actually showed a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

"So that's it, so that's it!" All the doubts on Xu Jingduo's face disappeared, and he nodded with a smile.

Xu Jingduo then explained to the two people across from him, "I've been so busy lately that I forgot about the Five States Martial Arts Show."

After saying that, President Xu burst into another hearty laugh.

His laughter seemed extremely empty in the empty reception hall.

In fact, President Xu naturally knew about the Five States Martial Arts Show.

Because his son Xu Yingyang also followed Yingzhou Martial Arts School to participate in the Five States Martial Arts Competition.

Jiang Xuan participated in the Five States Martial Arts Competition in Qizhou. During the competition, even when he was a Fuzhou warrior Ling Honghe, he received an invitation from the Yingzhou Martial Arts School.

Even Yingzhou Martial Arts School sent Xu Jingduo's eldest son Xu Yingyang to personally invite him.

Jiang Xuan naturally knew all this.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, President Xu must have been so busy that he forgot about this matter.

After all, if one is not one who pays close attention to the Five States Martial Arts Performance, it would be difficult to connect the Five States Martial Arts Performance with the matter of the city lord's personal guards.

The most important thing is that President Xu had no idea that one of the rewards for the Five States Martial Arts Competition was that he could become the personal guard of the mayor of any of the five states.

"However, President Xu doesn't seem to care much about his son. Otherwise, even if he was very busy, how could he forget about the Five States Martial Arts Competition, which is so important to Xu Yingyang? Or is it that he really has something more important to do and can't spare the time to think about it..."

Jiang Xuan pondered in his heart.

Just as Jiang Xuan was organizing his thoughts, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"President Xu, please don't underestimate my junior brother. When he signed up for the Five States Martial Arts Competition, he was only an eighth-level Heavenly Rank warrior. Who could have imagined that he would be able to break through during the competition and become a peak warrior?"

It was Cheng Qinwei's words that echoed throughout the hall.

"So no matter from which aspect, Junior Brother Ling has met the standards to become the City Lord's personal guard."

When Cheng Qinwei said this, although his tone seemed like he was joking with President Xu, or even showing off, his meaning was truly expressing what he wanted to say.

Just now, Xu Jingduo felt that his son's performance was somewhat disappointing.

But after hearing what Cheng Qinwei said, he felt relieved.

Xu Jingduo showed a look of surprise when he heard that the person sitting in front of him, the personal guard of Yingzhou City Lord who had just arrived from Fuzhou, was so young but had such amazing qualifications.

He understood that this was something his son could not compare to. Even before he actually met this personal guard of Ling, he had never heard of such amazing qualifications.

It seems that the Fuzhou warrior Ling Honghe was only one step away from breaking through to become a peak warrior, the top type of warrior at the eighth level of the Heavenly Stage.

As for a Heavenly Rank warrior, even one at the eighth level of Heavenly Rank, he would have no chance of winning against a peak warrior.

"Of course, of course! Guard Ling is so young, yet he's able to take first place in the Heavenly Class and become a peak warrior. No matter how you look at it, he's definitely a leader among warriors, and one of those with extremely rare qualifications."

As he spoke, Xu Jingduo's face was full of admiration for Ling Honghe.

The two exchanged pleasantries. Although the topic revolved around the Fuzhou warrior Ling Honghe, they were both focused on praising him without even glancing at the "Ling Honghe" at the center of the conversation. Jiang Xuan felt a little embarrassed by the two people's flattery, but he couldn't show it on his face and could only smile along with them.

After some more pleasantries, the three of them finally got down to business.

Cheng Qinwei straightened his expression and said, "President Xu, Junior Brother Ling and I are here to discuss a series of issues related to the Five States Martial Arts Show. We're here to discuss the specific details with you."

"Okay, just give me your orders." Xu Jingduo replied readily.

Xu Jingduo waved his hand, and the maid waiting at the door of the hall came towards them, carrying a tray with three exquisite tea bowls on it.

Cheng Qinwei took the tea bowl, took a sip, and put the tea bowl back on the table.

Jiang Xuan simply took it politely, placed it on the table, and did not touch the tea bowl again.

The maid took back the tea bowl and left.

"Now that the Five States Martial Arts Show has concluded, there will undoubtedly be some guests visiting Yingzhou. The City Lord's Mansion hopes that the Chamber of Commerce will make good preparations and try to create some excitement to make Yingzhou more prosperous. Of course, President Xu will still have to take care of these matters."

After hearing this, Xu Jingduo nodded. It was obvious that he had guessed most of what Cheng Qinwei said in advance.

"Also, within this month, if any conflicts arise, whether between merchants, merchants and the public, or tourists from other states, President Xu is requested not to act rashly, let alone resort to violence. All matters should be reported to the City Lord's Mansion first, and the City Lord's Mansion will make appropriate arrangements."

"President Xu, please inform everyone about this and make sure this matter is properly coordinated."

After Cheng Qinwei finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl again, but did not drink the tea. He was silent for a moment and continued to give instructions.

"The people of Yingzhou naturally approve of President Xu's actions, but the people of other states don't recognize our Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, we must carefully consider everything and not let the people of other states misunderstand Yingzhou, let alone damage the image of Yingzhou City."

Upon hearing this, President Xu's face paused, but he immediately returned to his smiling expression.

"Okay, okay. The Chamber of Commerce will follow the City Lord's Mansion's instructions."

Hearing this, Brother Cheng's smile returned to his face, and he looked like before, much more amiable.

After the matter was settled, the three of them stood up, and Jiang Xuan and Senior Brother Cheng left the Xu Mansion.

After coming to Xu's house and listening to what he had said, Jiang Xuan understood the purpose of this trip.

It seems that City Lord Li not only wants him to follow Senior Brother Cheng to familiarize himself with Yingzhou City, but also wants him to understand and learn Senior Brother Cheng's style of doing things, as well as to be able to respond to the upcoming activities in Yingzhou.

"It seems that City Lord Li wants to see my performance in this event. This event should not be so simple." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

However, Jiang Xuan still had doubts in his heart.

That is, the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion clearly has officials who are specifically responsible for managing Yingzhou's business, so why should the personal guards who are specifically responsible for protecting the city lord be asked to do this?

Don’t you believe in the officials’ ability to do their work?
Have the guards lost their function of protecting the city lord and have nothing to do?

Or do you trust the loyalty of your personal guards too much?
……

Jiang Xuan thought of several situations in his mind, but still couldn't get a definite answer.
