Hearing Qin Xiao say to open the city gates and let those people in, the Elf Patriarch and the others immediately became anxious.
The Elf Patriarch said anxiously, "City Lord, you can't do that. Once all of them enter the Free City, there will be endless trouble."
"It's easy to invite the devil in but hard to send him away. Once this gate is opened, there will definitely be an endless stream of people coming to the Free City. How should we deal with this?"
"We can't open the city gates so easily."
"Yes, we can't open them so easily, City Lord. Otherwise, the situation will be difficult to control."
"Most of these people have evil intentions. If we let them in, they will definitely cause chaos in our Free City."
Several Elf Patriarchs also advised Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao waved his hand and said to them, "I know. Just listen to me first. I have my own plans. At present, there is no better way."
The Elf Patriarch and the others looked at Qin Xiao and hesitated for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and gestured for them to open the city gates. They also retreated to the side.
As soon as the city gates were opened, those people cheered and entered the Free City.
The people who were really scared away by Qin Xiao's words were only a few tens of thousands.
Qin Xiao led the Elf Patriarch and the others to the side and said with a serious face, "This is also an expedient measure. There is no other choice."
"Think about it. If we don't let them in, do we have to keep the city gates closed? Or do we have to drive them all away? "
"I can drive them all away, but isn't that against the purpose of our Free City? We are the Free City. The Free City has always been open to the world. "
"If we close the city gates, won't we lose the heart of freedom?"
"So, after thinking about it, the only solution now is to open the city gates and let those people enter the Free City. Although I know that many of these people didn't come with sincerity, there are still some who sincerely want to join our Free City. "
"We can't erase these people."
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, the Elf Patriarch and the others felt that it was very reasonable. It seemed that there was indeed no better way.
Opening the city gates and letting the people in might not be the best way, but it was the best way to solve the problem at present.
"It's not terrible that there is a problem. What's important is that we already know where the problem is, so what we need to do now is to prevent the problem from spreading."
"With so many people entering our Free City, a lot of things will definitely happen."
"And we just happen to use these things to manage the Free City well, suppress these people, and get rid of those who are not suitable for our Free City."
"Now, the problem.... we will do..........................................................................................................
"Moreover, through this matter, our Free City can also announce to the world that our Free City has strict city rules. Not just anyone can come and do whatever they want in the city. Once they come to the Free City, they must obediently abide by the city rules. Otherwise, they will definitely be kicked out of the Free City. "
"Only when there is a problem can we show the strict side of our Free City. So, letting them in might not be a bad thing. "
"After getting rid of these people, the people who want to enter the Free City will definitely think carefully."
Qin Xiao continued. The Elf Patriarch and the others nodded heavily, indicating that they understood.
Yes, that was indeed the case.
In that case, letting those people enter the Free City was not a bad thing.
Bad things could also become good things. The key was how you looked at it.
Qin Xiao continued, "So now, we have to take action immediately. Elf Patriarch, arrange for all the people you can arrange to closely monitor those who enter the Free City. Mobilize all the Free City Army and be on standby. "
"Once those people violate the city rules, immediately arrest them and punish them according to the city rules. Do not tolerate them."
"If they cause trouble, then let them. There is no need to be afraid of making a big fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better it is for our purge."
"I will oversee the Free City until this matter is resolved."
"Yes, Your Excellency. We will immediately arrange it. With Your Excellency overseeing the Free City, we will be more at ease, "the Elf Patriarch immediately said.
After making the arrangements, Qin Xiao brought Ah Dong back to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Excellency, you have returned!" The Third Senior Yuan had been waiting for Qin Xiao's return.
The Third Senior Yuan's deep gaze fell on Ah Dong. Clearly, he had sensed that Ah Dong was not simple.
The Third Senior Yuan was also not a simple character. Qin Xiao had always wondered whether the Third Senior Yuan was a Half-Sage or a Heavenly Venerate.
Ah Dong glanced at the Third Senior Yuan. Ah Dong's expression was slightly solemn. After a few more glances, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
Judging from Ah Dong's expression, the Third Senior Yuan was very likely to be an Ancient Saint.
Although Qin Xiao had long suspected this, he had not confirmed it, so he did not dare to say it out loud.
Now, it seemed that the Third Senior Yuan was really an Ancient Saint.
However, Qin Xiao was also very relieved. After all, the Third Senior Yuan was left behind by the City Lord of Origin Sword City to manage the City Lord's Mansion and take care of his inheritance. His strength was definitely not weak.
Moreover, the Third Senior Yuan had lived for a very long time. It was difficult for someone who was not an Ancient Saint to live for so long.
Qin Xiao knew that the City Lord of Origin Sword City was an extremely powerful Ancient Saint. Therefore, it was reasonable to believe that the Third Chief Elder was an Empyrean Saint.
They found a place to sit down. The Third Senior Yuan had already ordered some people to prepare some wine and dishes. Qin Xiao motioned for Ah Dong to sit down and have some wine with him.
Ah Dong did not stand on ceremony with Qin Xiao and sat down. However, Ah Dong was very reticent and almost did not open his mouth to speak.
"Third Senior Yuan, what do you think of the current situation of the Free City?" Qin Xiao asked.
After pouring wine for the two of them, the Third Senior Yuan said faintly, "The current situation is not that bad. This is just the beginning. If it is handled properly in time, there will not be any impact. I am afraid that if it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause damage to the Free City and cause endless trouble in the future. "
"It is difficult to unite the Free City, but it is easy to destroy it."
"Then what do you think is the root of the problem?" Qin Xiao asked.
The Third Senior Yuan looked at Qin Xiao and said solemnly, "The root of the problem is that the Free City is not strong enough. If we are strong enough, we can ensure the absolute majesty of the city rules and ensure the normal operation of the Free City. "
"However, we are obviously not strong enough and the number of people in the Free City Army is not enough."
"Now that more than a million outsiders have come in, it won't be easy to manage them all well."
Yes, strength was the foundation. This was indeed the Free City's shortcoming.
The Free City's strength was indeed a little weak.
It was still possible to stand aloof from worldly affairs.
However, it would be a little dangerous if they were targeted.
More than a million people had entered the Free City this time, and most of them were third-step and fourth-step Heavenly Venerates. Therefore, the situation was indeed a little worrying.
Qin Xiao was also aware of this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Although the Third Senior Yuan might be an Ancient Sage, he did not care about the affairs of the Free City. He only cared about the City Lord Mansion.
Furthermore, his identity was only that of a steward of the City Lord Mansion. Nobody knew how strong he was.
It was not very practical to let the Third Senior Yuan oversee the Free City.
"We don't want trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either."
"Since trouble has come, let's go and deal with it."
"As long as I am around, the Free City will not fall into chaos."
"The Freedom Heart belongs to everyone in the Free City. It belongs to the people of the 10,000 races. If anyone dares to touch it, I won't agree. The people of the 10,000 races will not agree either."
"We have to use our strength to manage the Free City. At the same time, we have to mobilize the strength of the people of the 10,000 races to protect the Free City together."
"The Free City does not belong to one person, but to everyone. Only when everyone is willing to stand up and protect the Free City can it become even more beautiful. "
"Strict city rules are only temporary. They are only forcefully interfering with external forces to help the Free City move towards true freedom and true beauty."
"Only when everyone cherishes this freedom, abides by this freedom, and treats this freedom as their own home, will there still be a need for city rules?"
"The Free City was already developing healthily towards this level. Now that more than a million outsiders have entered, it will definitely have a certain impact."
"However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing. Perhaps it is also a test and a calamity for the Free City."
"If we can pass this test, then the cohesion of the citizens of Freedom City, their ability to protect the city, and their desire for freedom will all increase."
"Everything has its two sides, so we have reason to believe that there is a good side to this trouble. What we need to do is to try our best to find the good side of it and present it to the world. "
It was precisely because of these considerations that Qin Xiao had readily opened the city gates and let everyone in.
Letting them in was not equivalent to admitting that they had joined the Free City.
Letting them in was just to better deal with them. There was a sense of destruction before rebuilding.
Sure enough, trouble came quickly. The Elf Patriarch came looking for them.
"Sir City Lord, I have something to ask of you."
"We have punished the people who violated the city rules. We have also arrested and punished many people. We have even chased some people out of the Free City."
"However, the effect was not good. Most of these people did not restrain themselves. Instead, they had thoughts of rebellion."
"The Free City does not have a prison, so we did not detain them. After the punishment, they were released or chased out of the Free City."
"These people have now gathered together and formed a group of more than 10,000 people. They are resisting our law enforcement in the Free City. They have been temporarily suppressed by the Free City Army."
"However, these people are very fierce. They said that if they are not allowed to stay in the Free City, they will rebel."
"Many people are secretly observing. If these people are not dealt with properly, I'm afraid there will be a group effect. When that time comes, it will be even more difficult to clean up the mess."
"We can't make a decision at the moment, so we ask for your help, Sir City Lord."
After listening to the Elf Patriarch's report, Qin Xiao frowned coldly and snorted. "They are just some evildoers. They are not loyal to the Free City at all. They are just here to seek pleasure."
