Shushan City, late August.

On this day, Huang Fusong got up very early, and it took him two hours to wash, dress, and breakfast.

In the past, Huangfusong did not have high requirements for this aspect, and it could even be said to be arbitrary. However, not today, he has to receive distant guests.

"The plan of the day is in the morning." Before going out, Huang Fusong took one last look at the grooming mirror, "Hmm! Let's go. ”

A week ago, Huang Fusong received a private message from Mayor Bai. Bai Hong's letter expressed his desire to visit Shushan City in person and meet with him.

Seeing this information, Huang Fusong did not hesitate for a second, and immediately arranged for the secretary to communicate with Bai Shifang and determined the date of the meeting.

"He's supposed to be there, right?" After ten o'clock in the morning, Huang Fusong kept reciting this sentence silently in his heart.

Shushan City is located in the west of Dongzhou, and Baishi is located in the southeast corner of Dongzhou, and the two cities are far apart. Superfast planes also have to take a day ~ night.

Huangfu Song also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Bai Hong and his party to arrive in a short time, but he wanted to see the most courageous warrior in the world.

At ten o'clock, Huang Fusong personally arrived at the gate of the main city, and he kept looking at the avenue. The entourage did not dare to be sloppy, and seriously prepared for the work.

I drank pot after pot of fragrant tea, and the bathroom was used many times, but the avenue was still empty, and there was no shadow of distant guests.

It was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the smoke still covered the city, and the thin sun fell on the clouds, and the city seemed even more towering.

A vehicle marked "White Market" appeared on the gray avenue. At that quarter of an hour, the hearts of the people were settled.

"It's finally here." Huang Fusong said this in his heart.

He led the crowd to the side of the road, and the band played a welcome song.

The car slowly stopped, and Huang Fusong personally opened the door. Bai Hong, dressed in black, slowly got out of the car.

"Hello! Castle Lord! ”

"Hello! Mayor! ”

The two mayors, thousands of miles apart, hugged each other tightly.

At this time, the sun in the sky lifted the fog and sprinkled red light, and the avenue became clear.

An honorable woman also got out of the car.

She looked up at the towering peaks and marveled. Among the peaks, there are buildings erected one after another; Thin mist, reddish sunlight ethereal; Quietly atmosphere.

She felt that the city was simply a wonderland on earth.

"Hello! White Lady! Huangfu Song stretched out his right hand, "The journey has been hard. ”

"Hello! Castle Lord! Zhao Fen shook his hand~ and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!" ”

The group got on the reception car of Shushan City and walked in the direction of the main city.

The sunlight in the sky gradually turned white, the temperature gradually rose, the fog was slowly dispelled, and the face of the city became clearer and clearer.

Bai Hong and Zhao Fen looked at the city built on the mountainside through the car window, and they were amazed in their hearts. Every stone, every road, every house...... Everything is ingenious and magical.

They think about the expanding white market, and then look at the Shushan city built in the mountains, the construction of the white market cannot stop the pace, there is still a long way to go.

"Fin!" Bai Hong stared at the urban pattern outside, "We still have a long way to go, and we still have to sweat to expand the white market." Look here, I only learned about it through videos and photos before, and it didn't shock people. Now that I am in it, I feel its majesty. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Fen looked at the excitement on her white face, and she felt the same way, looking at the appearance of the city, her heart was full of excitement, "The people here have opened up a world in this lofty mountain, and we also have the ability to open up a piece of land." ”

The two of them were indeed infected by the layout of the city, and the fatigue after the long journey slowly dissipated as they talked happily.

Click! The slight sound of tires rubbing against the road after braking and the car stopped in front of a building.

Huangfu Song was already waiting on the steps, and Bai Hong, Zhao Fen and his party immediately caught up.

Huangfu Song walked on the left, white and red in the middle, Zhao Fen on the right, and other entourages behind him, rushing in from the gate.

Everyone went to the restaurant on the first floor, Huang Fusong, Bai Hong, and Zhao Fen had a table, and the rest of the people also gathered around a table for lunch.

"You have come from afar and have not greeted you well, please understand." Huang Fusong sat on the top seat, "Just eat some food." ”

The table in front of me was filled with a variety of dishes, exuding a scent and colorful colors.

Zhao Fen secretly sighed in her heart that since the day she followed her husband Bai Hong to create the White Market, there have been few such sumptuous meals.

"City Lord! Your hospitality will be cherished by me. Bai Hong looked at the delicious and fragrant food in front of him, and sighed in his heart, "Such a sumptuous lunch is too tempting~." ”

Bai Hong also remembered that she hadn't prepared such a sumptuous meal for Zhao Fen for a long time, and she had always had little time for Zhao Fen, who had always been by her side, for the sake of her career.

On this trip to Shushan, Bai Hong also squeezed out time in his busy schedule. After all, the city lord of Shushan took the initiative to contact him twice, and in today's world, Bai Hong has never encountered such a second place. In addition, it is the matter of the adopted daughter White Lotus, he wants to know.

"Let's dine." Huangfu Song was the first to move his chopsticks, "When the food is cold, there is no taste." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Fen said, "Thank you for your hospitality. ”

"City Lord!" Bai Hong took a bite of the moist braised pork ribs, "Can you give me a cooking book?" The meal was delicious, and I wanted my chef to make such a hearty meal as well. ”

"No problem." Huangfu Song smiled proudly.

"Thank you!" Zhao Fen said, "I really want to like the taste. ”

The three of them had a pleasant conversation and enjoyed the food.

After an hour, the whole meal was finished. After that, everyone drank tea, coffee, etc., and rested for half an hour. At two o'clock, people from both sides sat in the meeting room.

The two sides carried out exchanges on population, urban construction, military, science, culture, and so on. The atmosphere of the whole exchange meeting was very good, and everyone spoke freely and talked about their own opinions.

The exchange meeting lasted for more than three hours, and it was also because everyone's mouth was dry, and they couldn't talk anymore before the talks ended.

Only Huangfu Song, Bai Hong, and Zhao Fen were left in the conference room. The rest of the people left the meeting room, and the Shushan people took the Baishi people to the rest room.

"City Lord!" Bai Hong spoke, "I apologize profusely. ”

"We're sorry for you." Zhao Fen also said, "We didn't expect your nephew to be killed. ”

"Ugh!" Huangfu Song turned his head and came back again, "Calamity, God wants to take away the life, no one can stop it." It's just that I didn't expect it to come so early, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people. ”

"We'd love to hear about everything." Bai Hong's tone of request, and Bai Lian on the side also nodded.

Huangfusong did not refuse them either. One thing at a time, like the sunshine outside the window, endlessly. The ins and outs of everything, he said unhurriedly.

The two listened to Huangfu Song's story, and became more and more convinced that the white lotus who appeared in Shushan City was their adopted daughter. They did not interrupt him, but listened quietly.

"That's how it happened." Huangfu Song endured the pain in his heart, "You don't have to blame yourself. After all, Li Li was not forced by Bai Lian, but voluntarily followed her. ”

Both were in a heavy mood.

"City Lord! You have lost so much for the sake of my daughter. Bai Hong said, "Within my ability, I will repay your kindness in this life." ”

"Yes, I think the same as my husband, you have done so much for my daughter." Zhao Fen said, "We do our best to repay this kindness." ”

"I'm ashamed to say that." Huang Fusong couldn't hold back his sadness anymore, and said lonely, "I didn't do anything for your daughter, it's my nephew Li Li, and he has been taking care of her." Now Li Li is gone, and Bai Lian is nowhere to be found. I didn't take care of the white lotus for my nephew Li Li, who he was willing to exchange his life for. ”

Huangfu Song sent people to Qingfeng City, which was already in ruins and full of corpses. They collected the video, and in the end, the place where the white lotus appeared was blasted into a mound of earth by several *s.

"It's really hard to talk about something like this." Bai Hong said, "We came to Shushan to personally put a stick of incense on Li Li's tomb. ”

"I'm afraid our daughter is no longer alive." Zhao Fen said, "We also searched the rubble several times, but we didn't even find her body." Castle Lord! We can't see White Lotus, but we want to kowtow to the people she spent with in her lifetime. ”

The two of them no longer had the slightest hope for Bai Lian's survival. A few powerful shells had blown up that place, and how could a flesh and blood body survive, it should have been reduced to ashes.

"Okay!" Huangfu Song stood up slowly, "While it's not dark, I'll take you to see Li Li's tomb." ”

"There's the lord of the city." The two said in unison.

When they went to the cemetery to offer incense, only Huangfu Song, Bai Hong, Zhao Fen and one guard went to the cemetery, and the others stayed to sign the project of cooperation between the two sides.

The sun in the sky climbed to the west, and the golden afterglow was engulfed in a thin mist.

The wind blew their sleeves, and Zhao Fen's hair floated. The fallen leaves on the cemetery rose and fell, and the yellow on the branches fluttered and fluttered, and then was blown away. A few branches withered, clattered, and fell to the ground.

Bai Hong and Zhao Fen took a lot of effort to light the incense.

"Li Li! Thank you for taking care of my daughter. Zhao Fen bowed deeply, "You are in the Spirit of Heaven, bless us to find the White Lotus." Live or die, you helped us find her. ”

"Thank you! Lili! Bai Hong also bowed, "You have to bless Bai Lian to return to us!" ”

The wind blew harder, and the branches swayed. The fog in the distance also slowly spread. A few crows, wah-wah, clutched the shaking branches and snorted in the wind.

"Let's go!" "I'll come back when we have time." ”

The group returned to the office building, and the people who stayed behind had already signed off on the project.

"City Lord! Thank you for your hospitality. Bai Hong held Huangfu Song's hand, "In the future, you must come to my city." ”

"Mayor White! Thank you for coming to visit Li Li, he will definitely be happy. Huangfu held it tightly, "I must pay attention to Bailian, if she is still alive, she should return to Shushan." ”

"Thank you!" White Red let go of his hand.

"Thank you!" Zhao Fen shook hands politely and said goodbye.

"Mayor White! I'm going to see your Free City. ”

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"
