Ah? "Everyone was bewildered. Why did you attack Longling City instead of being the City Lord? Just for fun? They couldn't be blamed for being angry. Longling City originally had two Divine Domain experts, and now that they were killed by Yan Li, who would protect Longling City in the future if he didn't take responsibility?
"Don't misunderstand, my wife will be the City Lord." Yan Li pointed at Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun's heart thumped. The word "Wife" became very sensitive and heavy, but she couldn't show any abnormalities and could only force her heart to be as still as water.
"Sit down," Yan Li said. Li Xiangjun sat down next to Yan Li, her heart still thumping. She was used to obeying Yan Li, and instinctively felt that something was wrong. This wasn't a matter of whether she sat or not, but the sudden change from a subordinate to a master made her feel like she was in a dream.
All the heads of merchants and factions breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Swallow Dock was willing to take responsibility. Otherwise, their losses would continue until this chaotic world swallowed them up until not even their bones were left.
"Before my wife officially takes over Longling City, I would like to make a few statements and suggestions."
"You say, you say …"
Yan Li knew that Li Xiangjun needed some time to calm her emotions, so he immediately said, "First, Longling City will forever belong to my wife, Li Xiangjun, and has nothing to do with Swallow Dock or me personally. Of course, Swallow Dock and I will forever protect Longling City for my wife. Second, Longling City doesn't belong to any faction, and all internal affairs will be carried out according to the City Lord's announcement. Third, Buluo City's' Taiyan Law 'will be introduced. Fourth, Longling City's permanent residence permit will be issued. All citizens of Longling City will forever enjoy the protection of me and Swallow Dock, and non-citizens will have to apply for a temporary residence permit every ten days. Send officials to set up an official residence to supervise strictly. Fifth, all forces not directly under the City Lord's office are not allowed to interfere with the administration of the City Lord's office, or they will be killed without mercy. Sixth, from now on, all taxes will be handed over to the City Lord's office. Seventh, in the event of an invasion, everyone present must unconditionally send manpower to assist in the defense of the city. "
"Alright," he clapped his hands lightly and pulled Li Xiang Jun's soul back to reality. He stood up and smiled, "You guys can discuss what to do next. I only have one last request, and that is to revive this water city as soon as possible. Let's give the residents some time to prepare. The night market will open as usual tonight. "
At night, Li Xiang Jun dragged her tired body to Yan Li's room. Seeing Yan Li sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating, she wanted to say something but hesitated. She sighed and turned to leave, but was suddenly hugged from behind. She grabbed his hands in surprise, "Young master, did I disturb you?"
"I'm just sitting there in a daze." Yan Li gently blew into Li Xiang Jun's ear.
"You weren't like this before you came." Li Xiang Jun turned around and caressed Yan Li's face and white hair, her voice trembling, "I don't dare to ask in the daytime, young master, what exactly is going on?"
Yan Li thought for a while and told him the whole story. Li Xiang Jun was distressed, her eyes red, "If I knew this, I wouldn't have let you come even if I was scolded by young master!"
"This result is for the best." Yan Li smiled, "Xiang Jun baby, I heard you sigh when I came in. Did those old guys make things difficult for you?"
Li Xiang Jun blushed and shook her head, "No, they have long been afraid of young master's methods. In today's world, they can't help but be in awe of someone who can take down Longling City in one night.
。 Now all the government orders are going smoothly. According to young master's orders, the night market is going on as usual. The order has been restored to 70%. Most of the residents have accepted the reality. A small part of them are people from the five major forces. They are currently locked up and can only be slowly persuaded. The alliance letter has been sent to the Wei palace early in the morning. I believe there will be a reply soon. Oh right, Sufang has just arrived. The father and daughter will come to visit tomorrow morning and thank young master in person. "
Yan Li said, "Shi Dong is an official who really thinks for the people. See if there is a chance to keep him."
"I have the same idea." Li Xiang Jun said.
"Xiang Jun baby is getting smarter and smarter. You think the same as me." Yan Li nibbled Li Xiang Jun's earlobe.
Li Xiang Jun's sensitive area was touched and her whole body softened, "Young, young master, don't mess around... I still have something... to ask..."
"What is it, can't we talk about it after we make out..." Yan Li carried Li Xiang Jun and put her on the bed. Li Xiang Jun did not dare to look at Yan Li. She tilted her head and pushed Yan Li's chest with a red face, "Young master said during the day, that, Madam, what does it mean..."
"Madam is Madam, what other meaning is there?" Yan Li smiled.
Li Xiang Jun said with a trembling voice, "I, how can I, no, I can't, I can't..."
"Listen to me," Yan Li shook Li Xiang Jun's slender shoulders, "When I brought you out of the brothel, I really did not think about this. However, I usually like to touch you and take advantage of you. Now that I have your body, I have to be responsible for you. Moreover, I really can't imagine the scene of you being betrothed to someone else. If it really happened, I would definitely go crazy. "
"Young master..." Li Xiang Jun's beautiful eyes slowly filled with tears. She turned her head and looked at Yan Li in a daze, "I used to think that as long as I stayed by young master's side, I would be very satisfied. But now that I have obtained all of this, I realized that I have always been longing for it. Even though it is wrong, even though this kind of greedy face is very hateful, at this moment, I still can't help but feel happy. I love Young Master. From the moment Young Master saved me, the birth of my true name, my life, and everything else, they all exist for Young Master … Young Master, it's great that I met you, it's great … "
"I'm very happy that you told me everything in your heart." Yan Li used his elbows to support himself on both sides of Li Xiang Jun's body, and used his hands to wipe away the tears on Li Xiang Jun's face, "Don't cry, don't cry, right now, I am only giving you a name. When the dust settles in the future, I will definitely give you a grand wedding."
"Wu wu …" Li Xiang Jun hugged Yan Li and cried even more fiercely. It took a long time before she gradually calmed down. "Young master... I forgot one thing."
"What?" Yan Li said.
"Today is my period..." Li Xiang Jun said embarrassedly.
"Ai, just take it as I said it in vain. Go to sleep." Yan Li fell asleep.
Li Xiang Jun's tears turned into a smile, she pounded Yan Li and said: "Young master is so bad."
Yan Li opened his eyes and smiled. He hugged Li Xiang Jun and said: "After a busy day, you are exhausted. How about this for today, I will make a pillow for you. Sleep well."
"No, there are two more things." Li Xiang Jun struggled to sit up.
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
Li Xiang Jun said: "First, the three corps sent a letter asking when we can return to Swallow Dock."
"Now."
"Now is fine, but..."
"But what?"
"We can't openly return. The three corps will be stationed in the form of employment. Gather all the important people in the city, go to a public place, and sign a defense agreement with the leaders of the three corps. This has to be done with great fanfare, it is best to let the whole world know."
Li Xiang Jun's beautiful eyes brightened: "I understand, young master wants to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. If Swallow Dock is not reorganized, even if someone comes to deal with us in the future, if it is beyond our control, the three corps can disband at any time to preserve their strength. No wonder young master doesn't agree to gather forces to attack Dragon Order City. "
"Smart." Yan Li smiled and praised. "Now is different from the past. My two nephews are also here. First, we must ensure their safety."
Li Xiang Jun nodded to show that she understood, then took out a letter and handed it to Yan Li: "This was given to me by the Heavenly Policy Tower. They said that young master must read it."
"Oh?" Yan Li took the letter and opened it, only to see that it was beautiful and neat. It was enough to appreciate the calligraphy and was very comfortable to look at. Inside the letter:
"Greetings, Flowing Tree. I already know about the changes in Dragon Order City. Jun's name has shaken the world, it is worthy of celebration. Today, I sent this letter from a thousand li. One is to greet you, the other is to cancel the agreement in Bitter Sea. Without waiting for your letter, I changed my mind. I am extremely ashamed. When I sent the letter, Flowing Tree had already set out to explain the cause and effect. I hope that the young master will first read the letter.
There is even a manuscript? He rubbed the letter and found that there really was something inside. He flipped it open and saw that it was two pages of paper. After opening it, it was also full of writing. The handwriting was the same as the letter, but the content didn't seem to belong to the original owner. It was copied from somewhere else.
"Yi, it's actually [General Wen Lun]!" Li Xiang Jun read a few lines and suddenly cried out in surprise.
"What is it?" Yan Li didn't understand.
Li Xiang Jun explained: "This article was first published in the Book of Heavenly Secrets in the fourth year of the Qi Yuan era. The general content talks about the importance of a person's knowledge. It advocates that the country should provide for the common people to go to school and select the best of the best to pass down from generation to generation, allowing the common people to also have the right to choose their own destiny. Because the emphasis of the manuscript was very clear, it showed that the people in power bullied men and women and treated human lives as if they were grass. It aroused the sympathy of a portion of the scholars. Afterwards, it was quickly banned by the Dragon Emperor's court and the Heavenly Guidelines Building was boycotted. Recently, the person who wrote this article appeared again. Just yesterday, I heard that he became the new owner of the Heavenly Guidelines Building. "
"Oh? What's his name? "Yan Li said.
Li Xiang Jun said: "Ouyang Bu, a cobbler who loves to read. I've heard of him before. He is very famous in his hometown, Jinghe County. He has been a child prodigy since he was young. He has a real name but doesn't cultivate. He claims that he wants to find out the truth of this world. It's said that he has already gathered many followers and many of them are famous experts in the cultivation world."
"Find out the truth?" Yan Li frowned. "This person is either playing to the gallery or he has other intentions. If it's not both, then he's a madman. Moreover, the opinion of [General Wen Lun] is something that no ruler wants to see."
"Why is that?" Li Xiang Jun was puzzled. "Everyone has the opportunity to improve and change their destiny. Then, wouldn't the country become stronger faster?" It was because she was unable to change her destiny that she was sold to a brothel as a prostitute under natural disasters and the persecution of power. Putting herself in the shoes of others, this article resonated deeply.
