Walking into the central hall, the first thing Xu Yang saw was a very clean earthen kang and two pairs of wooden shoes neatly placed. The attire of this middle-aged man was not too obviously different from that of his men, with only some minor changes.

The middle-aged man got on the earthen kang first, and then knelt in front of the square table. Next to him was a middle-aged woman, who knelt beside him and served him tea.

After finishing all this, the man waved his hand gently, and the middle-aged woman quickly and consciously walked out of the room. Once again, only Xu Yang and the middle-aged man were left around.

"To be honest with you, I am only the governor of Changle County in Yingzhou.

In the entire Yingzhou continent, there are at least several thousand county towns as large as Changle County.

This is also an important reference factor for me to rule out your identity as an assassin. If you are really an assassin who infiltrated from the outside continent, you would not target a small governor like me to assassinate me. "

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head. His face was full of vicissitudes, but there was a hint of unwillingness and loneliness in his eyes, and all of this was captured by Xu Yang.

"To be honest with you, sir, I am just an outsider who came from the end of the wasteland."

After hearing this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar word, the middle-aged man in front of him was shocked. He instinctively put down the teacup in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

“No wonder you are so powerful. In the endless wasteland, a mysterious strong man appeared again. And such a top strong man actually appeared in my mansion.”

The middle-aged man's face seemed to be filled with shock, and there was a hint of secret joy, but more of it was a feeling of uneasiness.

"how?

I see from your expression that you seem to be very afraid of the people from the end of the wasteland!"

“Your Excellency may not know that there has always been a legend circulating throughout the Eternal Night Dynasty that the end of the wasteland is connected to a place outside the Eternal Night Dynasty world.

Therefore, everyone who came from that place was a top-level fighter with extraordinary talents and abilities!

If any power can obtain the support of life outside the end of the wasteland, then this power will surely rise in a short period of time."

"Of course, as the saying goes, a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure!

Some forces that are not strong enough and have received help from life forms outside the end of the wasteland will also be destroyed early and be besieged by nearby forces. Such examples are not uncommon. "

After hearing this, Xu Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, since I came to you, it is also a kind of fate. I will help you get what you want. At least from now on, you will no longer be a governor of a small county city."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, but soon his expression became lonely again.

"Forget it. I am just a piece of trash abandoned by the family. Even if I get help from a top-level expert like you, it will be impossible for me to return to the core of power in the family."

Hearing this, Xu Yang seemed to have grasped some important information.

"Oh, by the way, you said that the sword technique you used before was inherited from the Yun lineage. Could it be that your surname is Yun?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "The people in the county town call me Third Master Yun, but in fact I am the bloodline of the entire Yingzhou Wang family. Now the Wang Yunhou of the entire Yunzhou is my distant cousin.

The direct bloodline of Wang Zu controlled by Yun Hou is now the actual controller of the entire Yingzhou.

I am considered a branch of the Yun family, but when everyone was still young, I was considered an outstanding figure and had a glimmer of hope of getting my hands on the throne.

But later, under the pressure of various disputes, our line was finally defeated and kicked out of the core of power. In the following hundreds of years, we were constantly squeezed out by other branches of the family, and all the power and territory that originally belonged to us were divided up.

Until now, when I became a small county governor, this kind of suppression has gradually subsided, because those family branches that can get involved in the royal power, who would pay more attention to me, a small county governor?"

"So this is why you're so depressed all day long?"

Xu Yang looked at Yun San in front of him and asked with a smile.

"I'm not a conceited person, but you should be able to understand how a person who has climbed to the top of a mountain and seen the vast sky would feel when he returns to the original wellhead."

Xu Yang nodded gently: "I can understand, but have you ever thought about using your strength to take back everything that belongs to you?"

"By me?

There has long been no such opportunity, because there is a clear regulation in the entire Yingzhou that the county-level forces can not maintain more than three hundred private soldiers.

Anyone who exceeds this standard without authorization will become a criminal in the eyes of law enforcement officers and will be expelled overnight.

Every county town has a special law enforcement hall, which, to put it bluntly, are the spies of the royal family.

The Law Enforcement Hall in each county town has a total of 5,000 people. Although I am nominally the highest official in Changle County, in terms of strength, the Law Enforcement Hall is the real local boss. Even the 300 guards under my command dare not provoke them. "

"As for the 100,000 people in the county city under my jurisdiction, they basically have to look at the faces of the law enforcers. No ordinary person dares to provoke the people of the Law Enforcement Hall. Even if you are just an ordinary low-ranking soldier in the Law Enforcement Hall, you have privileges that are superior to others."

After listening to Yun Sanye's words, Xu Yang roughly understood the power system of the Yingzhou continent.

"Apart from the county city, is there no other power system?

Mr. Wang will not directly govern these thousands of county towns, right?"

“Of course not. There are about 3,000 county towns in the entire Yingzhou Continent. Basically, an alliance will be established for every 20 to 30 county towns, and every dozen alliances will be divided into a region.

The core branches of Wang Zu are basically the leaders of the strongest forces in the dozen major regions of Yingzhou.

This is how the royal family rules the entire Yingzhou.

That’s why I said that once you are kicked out of the core of royal power, it is almost impossible to turn things around.

Because there are too many mountains in front of us, and the foundation that originally belonged to me has been divided up, my influence is gone, which means that I will never have the opportunity to return to the core of power. "

Xu Yang shook his head: "According to what you said, is it possible that there are no conflicts of interest between the major regions, major alliances, and even major county cities?

As long as there are conflicts of interest, you will need strong military force to demonstrate your influence, and this is the best way for you to expand your influence!"
