Along the way, Meng Bai was already extremely excited. He jumped up and down on the carriage and cheered, "Oh! My master is the lord of the city, my master is the lord of the city, haha! " In his eyes, even a supervisor in charge of a mine was an extremely important official. The lord of the city was an existence that was even more difficult to look up to.
Chen Zhen snorted coldly and mocked, "Yunxiao, look at what a promising disciple you've taken in."
Li Yunxiao chuckled and said, "He's just a kid. Isn't his dream to be a general or a divine guard?"
His own emaciated body wasn't much bigger than Meng Bai's, and when he spoke these words that sounded like he was proud of his age and experience, it caused everyone to look at each other in astonishment. A fifteen year old brat's vision was more profound than all the old ghosts present.
Li Chunyang and Li Changfeng looked at each other and were secretly delighted. It must be the long-term guidance of that expert behind him that he could raise such an outstanding disciple. As for whether that expert was Gu Feiyang himself or his disciple, it did not matter. As long as Yunxiao grew up step by step under his guidance, it would be enough.
"Master, how do you know that my dream is to be a general! When you become the lord of the city, make me a general! When I return with the army, I'll show off in front of Uncle Li and the others! "
Meng Bai's eyes lit up, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "When you become a Martial Lord, I'll make you a general." After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. His eyes slightly focused in front of him and a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Martial Lord?!" Meng Bai immediately became discouraged and said with a bitter face, "If I had the strength of a Martial Lord, I would be the commander of the Divine Guards of the Kingdom. Why would I still be a general?"
Xiao Qingwang's expression also changed. He sensed some auras in front of him and looked at Li Yunxiao in surprise. He said, "Could it be those stinky brats?"
Li Yunxiao nodded slightly and did not speak. Everyone was confused. After a while, they all sensed something and revealed astonished expressions. He was even more amazed by the strength of Li Yunxiao's Divine Sense, which had reached an abnormal level.
In front of the carriage, an awe-inspiring aura blew towards them. On the official road, rows of soldiers stood neatly, armed with silver spears and armors. They were all ready to go. The vigorous formation was like a steel ingot that was deeply inserted into the ground, giving people a feeling that they were as tall and unmoving as a mountain.
Li Chunyang's eyes lit up, and he praised sincerely, "If I had a million soldiers like this, I could sweep through all the empires in the Sky Martial Continent!"
Chen Dasheng glared at him and said, "Dream on. Two thousand people is already a heaven-defying existence. I have no idea how these people are trained. I dare say that if the two armies were to fight, even if the other side had two thousand Martial Grand Masters, they might not be able to defeat these people. "
The carriage came to a stop and Li Yunxiao stepped out of the carriage lightly. He looked ahead with an indifferent expression.
A soldier dismounted from a white horse and quickly walked forward, kneeling on one knee and said, "King Wucheng, please bring us to Yanwu City. We want to follow King Wucheng!"
Li Yunxiao laughed and said, "Bai Cheng Feng, you guys have not graduated yet. Staying in the academy to continue cultivating your strength is the right way. I am going to Yanwu City to join the Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild. Do you think I will really stay there and become some ghost city lord? All of you can go back. "
These two thousand soldiers were the student army of Jia Lan Academy. During the time they followed Li Yunxiao, not only did they make a lot of money, their cultivation had also increased by leaps and bounds. Under the guidance of the Killing Aura Art, their combat strength had increased greatly. Now, their worship and respect for Li Yunxiao could not be any greater.
This soldier was dressed like Bai Cheng Feng. After the battle in the wilderness, he had been seriously injured. After this period of recuperation, he had more or less recovered. His strength was even showing signs of a breakthrough.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Right now is still the holidays. We will go back when school starts." His idea was to catch up first and think about it after school starts.
Bai Cheng Feng was elected as the leader by the two thousand people. When he came out to talk to Li Yunxiao, the gazes of the thousands of people behind him were all on him. If he could not complete the mission, he would not have the face to go back and see them.
"Let them follow you. I found that following you is much better than cultivating on my own." Luo Yunshang said with a sweet smile. Even when she was constantly using her Nine Yang Energy to heal Xiao Qingwang and Chen Dasheng, her improvement was much better than cultivating on her own.
Bai Cheng Feng was overjoyed. Without waiting for Li Yunxiao's reply, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Luo!" He suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, Young Master Yun has agreed!"
"Oh! ~! That's great! Long live, long live! "
"I knew Young Master Yun would agree! That's great!"
The two thousand people suddenly burst into cheers. Among them, there was no lack of female students. Their eyes were like little stars, their faces full of happiness. Among them, Luo Landuo sighed softly.
Lin Yu, who was beside her, seemed to feel something. She forcefully grabbed her hand and said softly, "He is very strong now, but I will work hard. With him as my goal, I will defeat him sooner or later!"
Luo Landuo smiled sweetly and gently leaned her head on Lin Yu's arm. Her gaze was fixed on Li Yunxiao in the distance. She knew that the two of them would never cross paths again.
However, at the very least, everyone was running forward with all their might on the road leading to the endless martial path.
"Just wait and see, Li Yunxiao! I was wrong to look down on you in the past. But as long as I strive forward bravely, we will meet again sooner or later on the road of martial arts! "
Luo Landuo tightly held Lin Yu's hand as the two of them leaned against each other.
Li Yunxiao smiled bitterly and turned to Luo Yunshang, "I'm only going to participate in a Chamber of Commerce. I'm not going to fight a war. Moreover, I'm used to being a lone wolf. I definitely won't be the City Lord. "
Li Chunyang suddenly said, "Yunxiao, if these two thousand people continue to develop, will they still be ordinary soldiers of the secular world?"
Li Yunxiao's expression changed, "Master, you mean …"
Xiao Qingwang was also moved, "That's right. If this force is nurtured, it will far surpass ordinary soldiers. Although most of them are still Martial Warriors, I can feel the murderous intent in their bones. When they display it, it won't be any weaker than ordinary Guardian Divine Guards. "
Li Chunyang smiled, "Yunxiao, don't you want to transcend the secular world? As the saying goes, a good man needs three helpers. If you have this force and us to help you, you will soon be able to establish a force that surpasses ordinary countries. "
Chen Dasheng's eyes also lit up, "That's right. We have gathered at least half of the Aquasky Nation's forces here. Moreover, our potential is limitless. Why don't we use Yanwu City as a foundation and develop our own force, eventually becoming an existence like the Heavenly Congregation Sect! "
The Heavenly Congregation Sect was the backing of the Fire Crow Empire and also the true controller of the Fire Crow Empire! Even in the entire Tianwu Continent, it was a famous existence. Although everyone felt that it was a bit exaggerated to develop into such an existence, at least they could use it as a goal and achieve some status.
In Li Yunxiao's eyes, the Heavenly Congregation Sect was naturally nothing. It was just a second-rate or third-rate force in the Tianwu Continent. However, he was slightly tempted to establish a force that belonged to him. Although he was unparalleled in his previous life, he had always been a lone wolf without any support. He had been besieged and severely injured by various major forces many times. If he had strong support, he would not have been in such a difficult situation.
Although he was ranked third on the Heaven and Earth Reputation List and seemed majestic, those major forces that had existed for tens of thousands of years on the continent could easily surround and attack him with hundreds of people. They could even take turns to kill him. As the saying goes, a good man needs three helpers. Back on Snowfall Peak, if Qu Hongyan had not been afraid that the Divine Firmament Palace could not bear the losses and had mobilized the entire sect to kill him, he would not have been able to leave safely.
He looked at the cheering student army and had a thought. These were all teenagers and had great potential. Moreover, their talents could be said to be the best in the Tianshui Nation. If he could guide them, their future achievements would be limitless. It was not impossible for them to become a first-rate force in the continent.
"In that case, I'll bring them along and give it a try." Li Yunxiao said softly, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He looked into the endless distance and said in a voice that only he could hear, "My title in my previous life was Pojun, so I'll give you guys a name, Dubhe."
…
Yanwu City was indeed the most prosperous city in the Tianshui Nation. In addition to the upcoming Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, it was already very lively. All the main streets were under martial law. A large number of foreign businessmen were flowing in, and all kinds of checks had become extremely strict. The hotels were already full, and even the various residences had begun to accommodate outsiders.
Li Yunxiao's arrival caused quite a stir. The previous City Lord had already emptied his family's assets and was waiting to return to the capital to enjoy his old age.
The City Lord Registrar Wu Zishi was about to report to Li Yunxiao, but he was interrupted by the latter. "Just tell me how much money I have now, how much I can collect every year, and how much my expenses are every year. I'm not interested in the rest."
Since he planned to establish his own force, the most important thing was, of course, money. In his previous life, Li Yunxiao, who basically had no concept of money, also felt the pressure. He felt that feeding a few thousand people was a great burden.
Wu Zishi was stunned. He had seen many City Lords talk about money, but this was the first time he saw one talk about money without any scruples. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly calculated. One had to know that this City Lord was different from the previous ones. In the past, they would leave immediately after stepping down. This time, it was the newly conferred King of Martial City. Yanwu City was his fief for generations.
"The annual tax revenue is about 300 million gold coins. 150 million gold coins are paid to the national treasury. The various city expenses are close to 100 million gold coins. The savings are about 50 million gold coins. But this time, the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce has thousands of merchants entering in just a few days. The taxes are a total of 120 million gold coins. Currently, the treasury has a balance of 150 million gold coins. "
All the projects in Yanwu City were handled by him, so he quickly explained the general situation.
