In order to befriend Zhao Yun, Long Yi was really willing to spend a lot of money. Together with the imperial edict conferring Zhao Yun as the City Lord, there was also a huge sum of one million taels of gold. Less than half of the money was used to rebuild the palace, and the remaining money became the first test of Hu Qing's ability to govern the people and politics.
The first order made by Hu Qing was to recruit a lot of men of sacrifice, imitating the Shadow Guards of the Celestial Supreme Palace. They were called "Thrush Birds" and rushed to various parts of the Immortal Forest of the Demon Realm to collect information from all directions. Hu Lan also urged that they should focus most of their energy on monitoring Tianyi City. Long Yi casually gave Solitary Cloud City to Zhao Yun. Whether he was sincere or not, they had to be on guard. Solitary Cloud City had already been owned by Zhao Yun. Anyone who wanted to get their hands on it had to taste the means of the two sisters first.
The second order issued by Hu Qing was to select the smart, active, and powerful young men of the Heavenly Fox Clan to serve as the deputy generals and deputies of the various armies and halls. In name, it was to gradually take over the former subordinates of Xiong Meng and hold the real power in their hands. After this order was issued, Hu Yan, Hu Bin, and other young men stood out. Hu Qing ordered them to come to the Hu Mansion to personally train them, using both kindness and power, which could be regarded as the initial foundation of the new City Lord's Mansion.
Then Hu Qing and Zhao Yun met with the nobles they knew before, and used them to spread the goodwill of the new dynasty to comfort the uneasy old nobles. At the same time, they ordered a year of tax exemption, light punishment, simplified administration, and rest for the people, and focused on supporting agriculture, business, and trade. For a time, Solitary Cloud City, which had many things to do, showed an unprecedented new atmosphere, and the people all cheered.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "You two are really worthy of being the female Zhuge Liang. In just a few days, you have managed such a mess to become so prosperous."
Hu Qing, however, shook her head. "We took over Solitary Cloud City too late. Even though we had some spare time to communicate with the nobles, it will still take some time before we can convince them to accept us wholeheartedly. Moreover, Solitary Cloud City was a gift from Long Yi. Rather than saying that they respected us, they respected Long Yi. Right now the surrounding cities are all afraid of Long Yi's face, they won't dare to plot against us. But if our relationship with Long Yi is strained, then we will face the unfavorable situation of being besieged by everyone.
Therefore, we must increase the number of people with special abilities, and form a formidable army. Only then can we truly have a foothold. And all of this depended on Langjun's reputation. I've already ordered people to go to Immortal Grove to recruit warriors. I believe that many hot-blooded youths will pledge allegiance to our Clear Mist Palace. "
The name "Qing Lan Palace" was given to the new palace by Zhao Yun. Hu Qing and the other two girls thought of Zhao Yun's deep affection. After refusing twice, they happily agreed.
Zhao Yun asked again, "I wonder if those people sent to find Senior Brother have found any clues?"
Hu Lan said, "Elder Sister drew Senior Brother's picture and handed it to Hu Yan to copy. Three hundred people went back and forth to search within a thousand miles of the Myriad Flow Abyss, but there was no result. In addition, Long Yi also sent someone to inform that thirty thousand elite scouts were sent to search the entire demon realm. Even if Senior Brother went to other demon realms, he would immediately receive the news. "
Zhao Yun said, "I feel that the key is still the mysterious woman at the bottom of the abyss. How about this, you order the thrush birds to continue searching everywhere. Even if it's looking for a needle in a haystack, you can't relax. I will explore the Myriad Flow Abyss again. "
Yulan's boudoir was silent. Zhao Yun's trip was still fruitless, so he could only return helplessly.
His slightly relieved heart was now filled with anxiety, "Even if Senior Brother was really saved by that woman, they have been missing for so long. Could it be that they encountered an accident?"
Hu Qing comforted him, "Before seeing the results, Langjun shouldn't make wild guesses. That will only add to your troubles. Long Yi's words are right. Senior Brother has lived through tens of thousands of years peacefully. How could an accident happen so easily? Let's wait for the good news. "
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Zhao Yun diligently cultivated his swordsmanship and cultivated the Four Symbols Vital Energy. On the other hand, he visited the bottom of the abyss three times. However, he returned disappointed every time. He could only suppress his worries.
On this day, Zhao Yun woke up early in the morning to practice his swordsmanship. His swordsmanship was filled with endless worries. Hu Qing leaned on the railing and observed Zhao Yun's gloomy expression. However, he couldn't think of any way to ease Langjun's worries, "Langjun and Senior Brother have a deep relationship. Even with his iron-like willpower, he will still suffer from pain and worry. Sigh, it's a pity that Xiao Lan and I have been trying to persuade him for days. I'm afraid it's useless. He faces us all day long. He's fed up with delicacies. If there are other acquaintances here, they might be able to cheer him up. "
However, Hu Lan lazily shouted from his gums, "Sister, why did you wake up so early? Do you have to deal with the reports again? Hu Bin, this brat, has been nurtured for so long. Can't he take charge of something on his own? "
Hu Qing said in annoyance, "Little Lan, you're a child yourself. Why are you talking about others? You should also cultivate diligently. Langjun has been practicing his swordsmanship since dawn. "
Hu Qing slowly stood up and muttered, "What's the point of cultivating? We're already?????? "As if realizing something, he hurriedly covered his cherry-red lips with his fair and slender hand.
Hu Qing glared fiercely at Hu Lan. Before he could speak, Zhao Yun had already interjected, "Lan 'er, what did you want to say just now? Why did it break halfway? This isn't like you. "
Hu Lan rolled his eyes and said, "I mean, we're cultivating to save Brother Yun. Now that Brother Yun is already by our side to protect us, it's useless for us to cultivate."
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "That's right. A man's sword naturally has to protect his beloved woman. Now that my cultivation has truly advanced to the middle stage of the Tribulation Passing realm, if you're not interested in cultivating, then forget about the mental cultivation method. "
He hadn't cursed for a long time. At this time, he inadvertently said it, and his mood became much more cheerful.
Hu Lan said with a smile, "The middle stage of the Tribulation Passing realm. Congratulations, congratulations. Today, there are not many people in the world who can withstand the power of Brother Yun's sword. Even old thieves like Ziwei and Xu Lianghu can forget about taking advantage of him! " At this point, she suddenly paused and then cheered, "Brother Yun, we've been so busy that we forgot about this big advantage. Now that we've taken over Solitary Cloud City, it can be said that the heavens are really helping us. "
Zhao Yun asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Even Hu Qing didn't guess what Hu Lan meant. "Little Lan, you're talking nonsense early in the morning."
"It seems that Sister's brain isn't as good as mine."
Hu Qing was really helpless. "You've always been smarter than me. At this time, you still want to take credit in front of Langjun. Really??? You still have to keep us in suspense. "
