Liberty City's largest square is now packed with people. The order was maintained by heavily armed SS soldiers. Today is the day when Yangzhou was officially incorporated into the territory of Yulong. For the people of Liberty City, it suddenly became the people of the Xianglong Empire, which made them a little uncomfortable.

However, notices posted everywhere in the city told them that Yangzhou continued to follow the old rules of a free city. With the exception of the restoration of taxes, civil affairs, military power, and executive power, all the privileges previously enjoyed by the Free City are respected and will not change.

Many people gather here today for this so-called city building ceremony, not because they support the Jade Dragon, but because they want to hear from the mouth of the new duke what he promised in the notice.

At noon, a large convoy began to enter the stadium. The solemn soldiers in the tall canopy of the forest shook the eyes of ordinary people. The Duke of Liberty City is replaced every few years. There was no special ceremony for the inauguration of the duke. Even if it's verbal, it needs to be told to everyone who is now in charge.

The three-tiered gold-topped carriage was as big as a moving palace. A well-dressed young man stood on the top, surrounded by a golden railing. Inside there are beautiful leather seats. Two stunning women, especially the purple one, stood next to the young son. As soon as it appeared, the sound of air pumping could be heard all around.

Yulong smiled and looked at the people below, showing his noble demeanor with his gestures. His words and smile were full of arrogance.

"Ah, look, lo and behold, the young man was really very generous and looked quite handsome. One aunt broke her mouth and said to the other. The aunt also broke her mouth and said sourly, "Yes, I am." I am the Lord of the Lord. When will my son be so pretty?"

An uncle next to him listened and couldn't help laughing at him: "Don't dream. This family is the only son of the famous dragon family. Does the dragon know?" Auntie's face was incredulous, but there was no reason to refute it again. She just flattened her mouth.

Seeing that Aunt Market did not refute, the uncle had a satisfied smile on his face. A young man next to him gently shook him, motioning for him to look across the side. The uncle looked up at the other side. A group of costumed businessmen looked up.

The uncle nodded secretly and pulled the young man next to him to push the crowd to the back.

When the ceremony officially began, the high-pitched voice of the ceremonial officer spread through the square through magic. The salute went off, and then the music rang out. A variety of beautiful tunes are played together. Yulong got out of the car in such an atmosphere. Accompanied by Ariel and Kiya, he stepped onto the red carpet on the ground.

Overnight, a platform dozens of feet above the ground was erected in this square. The stairs are incredible. Yesterday, it was still an empty square. Kia and Ariel stopped when they reached the steps under the high platform. Yulong wanted to go up alone.

On either side of each step stood tall soldiers with serious expressions. The dragon-like character on the soldier's helmet shows his identity. With the high-profile introduction of the ceremonial officials, the jade dragon began to set foot on this high platform.

On this continent, the most important thing is the bloodline, followed by the strength, and then the personality, dozens of zhang of the tower, the head of the person can not be seen at a glance on the steps, as he goes up step by step, the noisy voice begins to become smaller and smaller, and when Long Yu looks at the little monk on the high platform, the voice below is completely inaudible, and there are only the words of the ceremonial officer.

The little monk with a dragon tattoo on his face wears a gold-rimmed Buddhist robe, and his robe glistens in the sunlight. At this time, he was braving the dim light, as if the Buddha had come.

This is the result of the easy. The little monk had a serious face. Although he is also in the fog, he has become a person of the Jade Dragon, because he is the one who is appointed by the Jade Dragon in the King James of the White Territory.

The duke's crown fell on the jade dragon. Freetown is unlike any other. It is no longer an isolated town. In fact, it is the equivalent of a kingdom, and the wealth of this kingdom is so great that it can even rival three empires.

This is also why Freetown was able to support the group of six ten mercenaries and take over the Duke's crown. Since then, Yangzhou has been named Dragon. Most importantly, Yangzhou will exist as the headquarters of the Xingmin Party, which is basically the foundation of the Jade Dragon.

The first thing he did when he ascended to the throne was to announce it to the world, and then to promulgate a series of measures for the benefit of the people. Jade Dragon had long remembered these things. When these terms were clearly communicated to everyone's ears, the crowd below finally boiled.

The 5% reduction in tax revenue is undoubtedly the biggest news for Freetown residents, who are used by mercenary groups all year round. At that time, the people who still complained about Yangzhou's flag change no longer resisted and shouted Long live the duke.

For free cities, the concept of the state has been blurred for a long time, and so has the concept of the state. Here, all races have their own ethnicity, and everyone is familiar with each other. One of the terms promulgated by Jade Dragon himself was that Yang Zhou had the same rights to all races, which made some people and even beasts who had been enemies of Xiang Silong for a long time finally let go of their hearts.

The ceremony lasted two hours. After the ceremony, the motorcade began to return to the main hall of the main house. Jade Dragon couldn't wait to take off his coat. The coat is too tight. As soon as he was panting, Yi and Ye rushed over one after another.

"Big brother, are you so handsome?" Han Xiao said with a smile when he was appointed as the vice duke of Yangzhou. Yulong smiled bitterly and said, "I almost didn't suffocate. "Along with Yi Shui came the little monk who acted as a wand today. The little monk agreed, "Me too." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Qi Qi laughed. "Big brother, what should we do next?" Yi asked excitedly, licking his lips and saying, "Firmly establish a foundation and support the Northeast." "Hello!" Ye shouted excitedly, touching his head. "I've been waiting for you for a long time, brother. When am I going to be a striker?"!"

Jade Dragon smiled and shook his head. "There are many kinds of support. There is no need to send troops. Father, they have a lot of soldiers, thousands of soldiers are useless. Supplies are urgently needed. After all, it's an army of hundreds of thousands. Daily consumption is an astronomical amount. If my estimate is correct, this war will last at least a year. ”

"If you really fight for a year, you won't fight for the fight, but for the money. Han Xiao nodded in understanding. "Well, then, the first thing to do now is to stabilize our foundation first. There are many changes to be made in this free city. Everything has to start all over again. It is impossible to do without an army. Looking at Ye Dao.

Ye knows what it means. Although the eldest brother was reluctant not to fight, he had already made it clear. Ye Wenhao nodded and said, "I listen to the eldest brother" "Well, now you are in charge of defending Liberty City from the air. I hope you can train an army to guard this place as soon as possible. You don't need much force, as long as you can maintain the usual peace and order. Jade Dragon pinched his eyebrows.

Ye nodded and looked at Yi again. "As for the distribution of supplies, Ya'er will take care of it. What Han Xiao needed to do was to establish the Qilong Guard Headquarters as soon as possible. A good intelligence agency cannot do without a good command structure. ”

Yi Xiang nodded. Yulong looked at the little monk again. The little monk was stunned by his eyes. He looked around and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Jade Dragon smiled reservedly and narrowed his eyes. "What do you think?"

After hearing this, the little monk shook his head quickly and said repeatedly, "I am not allowed to betray my teacher. This is a matter of principle. Yulong continued to squint his eyes and said, "I didn't ask you to betray your teacher. I just borrowed it from you. We're all too familiar to use. ”

The little monk immediately retorted: "It's not easy to find someone. You're just an excuse. Yulong didn't rush back: "It's easy to find someone, but it's not easy to find a suitable person like you." Promise me. Promise me. How about I teach you the Dharma?"

Hearing this excellent Buddhism, the little monk's eyes lit up, but his face was still hesitant. Although the achievements of the Buddha displayed by the Jade Dragon are mysterious and unparalleled, and they have never been seen before, what he mentioned still made the little monk uncertain.

"Then, alternatively, you can change your name and wear a veil during your speech." Yulong still did not give up on the little monk. In the end, the little monk was still moved by the supreme dharma and finally nodded. Jade Dragon smiled and clapped his hands. "That's right. ”

Ye and Yi Shuihan glanced at each other and smiled happily. The next day, a religion suddenly sprang up in this free city. They have a strange name, Taoism. In the Tianlu Continent, various religions appeared one after another, but basically they believed in almost all gods.

However, this is not the case with this Taoism. The people of this continent have never heard of the gods they believe in. However, this emerging Taoism has the full support of the Yangzhou government. Not only were there special personnel in charge of the ashram where they preached, but there were also soldiers guarding the main lecture hall.

All religions are fake for the citizens of the free city with the least faith. They only believe in money. However, the Taoist elite, led by the little monks, were very good at deceiving people. Day after day, they came to the scriptures, and many began to be deceived.

In the days that followed, more and more believers increased. To enhance the reputation of Taoism, every devout believer is given a magic pill. According to those Taoist masters, this pill has the effect of nourishing the body and prolonging life.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but with the miraculous recovery of several people suffering from stubborn illnesses after taking medicine, the prestige of Taoism quickly rose. In fact, these pills are diluted reducing agents, and one reducing agent is diluted into 100 small reducing agents. For the average person, the results that can be achieved are still amazing.

A month after the emergence of Taoism, the first Taoist temple in Tianlu was established. Its name is Sanqing Temple. Sanqing Temple is located in Liberty City. It turned out that the headquarters of the Purple Dragon Mercenary Group had all been demolished, and the buildings on the continent had been turned upside down, looking like the Temple of Light.

The temple fair planned by the Taoist Jade Dragon was officially established~!
