chapter 78
After the crowd calmed down a bit, Ling Gu announced his decision.
Since everyone knows that they are wrong, they must also understand a truth, those who make mistakes always have to pay the price for their words and deeds. If you are directly asked to return to the city, then the prestige and face of the Shuai Mansion will be reduced to a joke. So, I have a solution here, or the same sentence, if you agree, stay, and if you don't, leave. Ling Gu stopped after speaking, and waited for a while to see that no one objected before continuing to speak.
"Bermuda is not what it used to be, and it will become more and more prosperous and powerful in the future. A strong city and country must have a unified leader. Now, Bermuda is scattered, and I am deeply disturbed, so the Shuai Mansion decided to demarcate a hundred miles outside Bermuda and set it as an outer city. β
"The outer city is about to be built on a large scale, and after it is completed, there will be residents within the designated area. And you ...... Do they all choose to stay? β
After Ling Gu asked, the answer was undoubted, after two days of camping in the wild, these people didn't want to leave even one step further. The crowd scrambled to answer, indicating that they were willing to stay.
Ling Gu smiled: "Very good!" Those who remained, if they were not old, weak, sick or disabled, had to participate in the construction of the outer city. The list is registered, and they are not allowed to enter the inner city for three years, and they are all allowed to live in temporary adobe houses. The wages will be paid to the marshal's house, but you will not get the treatment enjoyed by the rest of the city's citizens. β
"If the table is good, you can rent a house in the outer city after five years, and you can buy a house after ten years, and the special list will be eliminated. Can you have any objections? β
Dissent, who dares to have? Besides, such conditions are not difficult to accept, it is not for nothing, and there is no need to sleep in the open air, although it is an outer city, it is always in Bermuda City, isn't it?
The crowd thanked each other, feeling saved.
At the same time as Ling Gu's words were heard at the three gates, the priests posted notices in the city and read the resolution for the illiterate.
[100 miles outside the city, set up an outer city. The main military defense, recruit a large number of young and ambitious people to participate in the construction work after the year, the salary is paid daily, and the excellent ones can be recommended to join the army.
Conscription: Over 15 years old, regardless of race, cultivation, and passing the assessment can join the army.
The People's Livelihood Office will re-enter the information of the city residents, and the city residents are requested to cooperate.
The follow-up construction planning of the outer city will be explained in detail in the future. γ
At the end of the notice, it is covered with a freshly baked red square seal of the Shuaifu, using the tiger pattern of the Shuaifu.
Not to mention what kind of turmoil this notice caused in the city, on the gate of the White Tiger City, after Ling Gu finished speaking, a team of elite soldiers appeared, carrying the spiritual method, but in a few moments, a row of adobe houses were built along the moat, and there were elite soldiers who carried a lot of wood and tree trunks, dropped axes and other tools, and let those people build their own doors and windows.
With a house to shelter from the wind and cold, the crowd rushed up to grab it, but fortunately, there were elite soldiers to deter it, and there was no fist and foot fighting.
Ling Gu watched the elite soldiers settle those crowds, and finally slowly exhaled - fortunately, it didn't happen.
"Let's go back." Bai Yu stretched out his hand to hold Ling Gu's hand, frowned slightly, and then said, "Come out later, just put some warm stones in the swaddling clothes." β
Ling Gu smiled and nodded: "Okay." β
Egg: "......"
The two of them went down the city tower, and the surrounding citizens who were watching the excitement retreated slightly, and they looked at Bai Yu and Ling Gu with fear in their eyes.
Ling Gu was helpless, this vigorous and resolute action was not only efficient, but also bound to leave some negative effects. However, compared to the previous mentality of the city's citizens towards the "free bodyguards" of the Shuai Mansion, Ling Gu would rather they be in awe.
"Brother."
When Ling Gu was about to get into the carriage, he saw a teenager squeezed out of the crowd. It's Ling Zhaowen.
Ling Gu suddenly remembered the last time he saw Ling Zhaowen, the confession that Ling Zhaowen told him and the oiled paper bag that was thrown away by Bai Yu, although he still didn't like Ling Zhaowen very much, but at this time he also stopped and waited for him to come over.
Ling Zhaowen ran to a position two steps away from Ling Gu, and suddenly stopped suddenly, he glanced at Bai Yu carefully, and then shrunk his shoulders, very afraid of Bai Yu's appearance. But he still smiled at Ling Gu and said, "My brother is getting married." β
Ling Gu nodded, everyone in Bermuda City knew about this.
Ling Zhaowen took out a small cloth bag from his arms, pinched it in his hand and did not hand it to Ling Gu. He looked up at Ling Gu, but he didn't dare to look at Ling Gu's eyes, wandering and finally landing on his toes, only looking up at Ling Gu from time to time.
"I ...... I originally wanted to give my brother a gift, but I think there are so many good things in the Shuai Mansion, and I don't think my brother will need it. When Ling Zhaowen said this, he seemed to laugh a little embarrassedly: "I have already worked as a medicine master in a medical hall, and I know that it is difficult to make money, and I can't afford to buy anything for my brother." β
"However, I found this at home, and I don't know if my brother still remembers." Ling Zhaowen said, and hurriedly opened the cloth bag in his hand, revealing the contents inside.
It was a small wooden plaque, the style of a pendant, the wooden plaque was engraved with a Ling character, the inscription was very deep, but it had been ground shallowly, and it could be seen that it had been some years.
Ling Gu didn't have any memory of the original owner, so naturally he didn't have any memory of this thing, so he only looked up at Ling Zhaowen and waited for him to speak.
Ling Zhaowen saw that Ling Gu didn't remember, his face was a little embarrassed, but then his expression became lonely again, and his voice was a little softer: "This is left by my father." My brother had always carried it with him before, but once...... I forcibly snatched it. This is the only thing left by my father, my brother is married, and I don't know what to give you, so I want to give this back to you. β
Ling Zhaowen handed over the wooden sign with both hands, lowered his head and said, "Whether my brother believes it or not, I hope my brother is happy." β
Ling Gu's mood was complicated. To be honest, based on what Ling Zhaowen did before, Ling Gu really didn't think he was a good person. But think about it again, Ling Zhaowen's age is the age when a person's mentality changes the most, and it seems a little unkind if he really doesn't forgive.
Fortunately, at this time, Bai Yu saw his embarrassment. This time, there was the name "the relics of the original owner's father" pressing, and so many city residents were watching, Bai Yu naturally didn't want to throw things away again, so he glanced at Topaz who was waiting on the side of the frame.
Huang Chubby was a little chubby, walked to Ling Zhaowen, reached out and took the cloth bag and accepted it.
Ling Gu saw that Huang Yu accepted it, and he also understood that it was Bai Yu's acquiescence. So he coughed lightly and tugged at the corners of Ling Zhaowen's mouth: "Thank you." β
Ling Zhaowen raised his head and showed a bright smile, but he was a little shy: "No, no thanks." Brother, then I'll go first. β
With that, Ling Zhaowen turned around and ran away quickly.
Ling Gu and Bai Yu got into the carriage, and on the small table fixed in the carriage, there was already the cloth bag.
Bai Yu frowned and said, "Throw it away." β
Ling Gu looked at him helplessly: "Forget it." Anyway, I also took possession of the original owner's body, which is the only relic of his father's mother, keep it. Do I have a private library? β
Bai Yu nodded: "Yes, there is a treasury in the Shuai Mansion." β
Originally, Bai Yu wanted to talk about Ling Gu's domain, but after thinking about it, the thing that Ling Zhaowen gave was naturally not allowed to put Ling Gu in the domain. As for the treasury, the Shuai Mansion is really there, and most of the things in it are tribute from other city-states, Bai Yu doesn't care too much, so he hands it all over to Luzhu to take care of.
Ling Gu shrugged, stretched out his hand to wrap the cloth bag and put it aside, and said, "Then go back and find a box to put in the warehouse." β
Bai Yu saw Ling Gu's indifferent attitude, and his brows finally relaxed. Then Bai Yu reached out and grabbed Ling Gu's hand, smiling.
"What?" Ling Gu raised his eyebrows.
"We'll be married tomorrow." Bai Yu's fingers gently slid into Ling Gu's cuffs, and his fingertips were warm and dry, making Ling Gu feel very comfortable.
Ling Gu smiled deliberately: "Is it possible that Lord Commander is still nervous before marriage?" β
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "You said that when you got married, there was a surprise for me." β
Ling Gu blinked, and thought for a momentβas if, that's what he said.
The smile on the corner of Bai Yu's mouth deepened a little: "I'm looking forward to it." β
Ling Gu also smiled, looking at Bai Yu's eyes with affection. He had an unbelievable feeling that I had found my lover. It's like something that I thought I would never touch, and it was suddenly sent to my hand, and that kind of happiness tugged at the corners of Ling Gu's mouth and his heartbeat, and every blood agitation was a blessing of happiness.
"Bai Yu, I ......"
Ling Gu opened his mouth, but swallowed the rest of the words.
"I know." Bai Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Ling Gu into his arms, repeating, "I know everything." β
Ling Gu didn't speak, and raised his head to kiss Bai Yu gently.
It was a day of great significance for Bermuda, and the hustle and bustle of the city endured. But for the people of Shuaifu, the "heavy dΓ meaning" of this day is completely different.
Except for Bai Yu, Qin Qian, and Mu Ying in the Shuai Mansion, no one really experienced what happened 10,000 years ago. But in the demon beast clan, there is a memory inheritance, so they have such a strong affection for the unmasked "domain master". Now, the domain lord has completed the marriage, completing the wedding that was not completed 10,000 years ago.
For the demon beasts with those memories and inheritance, this happy event is not a simple carnival, it is more like a solemn ritual - it is rewriting the tragic ending of 10,000 years ago.
When I returned to the Commander's Mansion, I looked at the brand-new, red-silk Commander's Mansion, the red quilt that had been replaced in advance in the bedroom, and the happy smiles on everyone's faces......
Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang......
Ling Gu looked at the sky - it's over, he is the one who was nervous before marriage.
