Chapter Forty-Six: The Lord of the New City

The conference hall is located in the central area, and the construction is simple and unremarkable, but it occupies a relatively large area, which is equivalent to the area of 4-5 stone houses, and there are guards standing on both sides of the door.

When the guards saw Ye Gucheng and the others who were in the dust, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee with a spear in hand, and respectfully shouted in unison, "Your Excellency the God of War." ”

Ye Gucheng responded with his head bowed, handed the reins to the guards on the side, and walked into the conference hall with Xuanyuan Xiu and the others.

The conference hall is also very simple, with a rectangular wooden table dedicated to meeting discussions, and a special sand table on the other side, and basically nothing else.

Both sides of the conference table were already full of people, and when they saw Ye Gucheng coming, they stood up to greet them.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Ye Gucheng smiled apologetically.

If it weren't for the fact that a soldier just happened to see you heading towards the city gate, I am afraid that we will not be able to find you for a while, I have to say, this city you built is really an eye-opener for us!" Zhang Tao glanced at Xuanyuan Xiu indifferently, and after making a joke, he then stretched out his hand and said to the empty seat in the middle: "God of War, please take a seat." ”

Ye Gucheng couldn't help but be stunned, that position was obviously the main position, although he had been in charge for so many years, in the final analysis, other people didn't understand the fortifications and construction, so they could only listen to his orders, and now that the city was basically completed, he could be regarded as a successful retirement, and it was not suitable to continue to be in the main position, right?

Zhang Tao didn't seem to see Ye Gucheng's hesitation, and continued to make a posture of asking to sit.

Ye Gucheng saw that no one was silent, obviously he had already discussed it, if he didn't take a seat, I was afraid it would be too hypocritical! Thinking of this, he slowly stepped forward and sat down.

As for Xuanyuan Xiu, because of his special status, he acquiesced to standing beside Ye Gucheng.

"Now that the people have arrived, let's officially start! Next, let's ask the Xuanyuan patriarch to tell me about the situation in the new city!" Although Zhang Tao is on the left, he dominates the right to speak.

Xuanyuan Zhuo's slightly drooping eyelids crossed a hint of strangeness, and then, as if nothing happened, he said slowly: "The current situation of the new city, or Xuanyuan Wendong will introduce it to you!"

Xuanyuan Wendong has made great achievements in architecture, and the completion of the new city is indispensable, so it naturally occupies a place in the conference hall.

"The construction of the new city is basically completed, the northwest two districts are ethnic areas, mainly responsible for food planting, armor building, war horse breeding and other issues, the southeast side is deployed according to the requirements of the god of war, mainly for the military camp, which is set up according to the cavalry battalion, archer battalion, infantry battalion, and at the same time set up a patrol battalion and a guard house, which is solely responsible for public security in the city. It's just that because there is no skilled carving technician, it is impossible to carve the god of war in the city for the people to admire. Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Wendong looked ashamed.

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng hurriedly explained: "Uncle Wendong, you don't have to take this matter to heart, I don't care. ”

"The God of War is wrong to say this, if it weren't for you, how could our two clans live such a comfortable life! The soldiers of our clan are even more respectful of you, to be honest, I, Zhang Tao, have never served anyone in my life, but to you, I sincerely obey you!" Zhang Tao looked around at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "If there is a city, how can there be no city lord, I propose that the God of War be the city lord." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different expressions, and of course, no one objected.

As for Ye Gucheng, he looked confused.

Ye Gucheng!

The overseas city lord of Baiyun City, with one hand flying immortals outside the sky, dominates the world。。。。。。

。。。。。。

If this city was called Baiyun City, wouldn't I really become the Ye Gucheng in the novel!

What kind of international jokes, a few pounds and taels of his own! Ye Gucheng is still very clear! City Lord! How can he be competent! Immediately, he quickly stood up and said: "Thank you very much for your love, it's just that the kid is still young, and he can make up for advice, City Lord, I don't dare to be!"

"Don't shirk the God of War, your ability, the clansmen are all in the eyes, if you are not worthy of being the city lord, who is worthy of being present?" Zhang Tao didn't seem to see Xuanyuan's ugly look, and added fuel to the fire: "Except for you, whoever is the city lord Zhang Tao is not convinced." ”

Isn't this a duck to the shelves?

Ye Gucheng couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Excellence as if asking for help.

Xuanyuan Zhuo seemed to have figured out something, smiled indifferently, and said gently: "Ye Gongzi, you are the Destiny of our clan, my clan naturally serves you as the master, I have discussed with Wuji, the warriors of our clan will be your exclusive guards, for you to send, please don't shirk." ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Wuji's expression became a little strange.

Zhang Tao naturally saw this scene in his eyes, glanced at Xuanyuan Zhuo meaningfully, turned to Ye Gucheng and continued: "From now on, there will be no more the Zhang family, a barbarian tribe, and some will be a brand new army, a legion exclusive to the new city. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"The same is true of my clan, there is no Xuanyuan clan, only the city lord's own soldiers. ”

Xuanyuan Zhuo's words immediately pushed the atmosphere to the most, and even Xuanyuan Wuji was moved.

Ye Gucheng is very happy to become one with the two clans, and they are intimate!

At this point, I can only say: "Thank you for your love, since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, I will work hard to build a harmonious and loving city, and I will live up to your trust." ”

"The old man very much recognizes the ability of the city lord! Xuanyuan Zhuo smiled and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the city director to order the generals to take their positions and customize the city rules." ”

"These things are not urgent, at the moment, there is a more important matter that needs to be decided by the city lord. Zhang Tao slowly took out a strip of oilcloth from his arms, pushed it in front of Ye Gucheng and said, "Two days ago, the patrol received an invitation from the Holy Fire Sect, inviting us to visit the clan, and the Holy Fire Clan also expressed its willingness to join our alliance. ”

"That's a good thing. Ye Gucheng was happy in his heart, and it was naturally the best outcome for all ethnic groups to coexist peacefully.

"I don't think so, the Holy Fire Sect is a tribe of barbarians, barbarians don't know etiquette, they don't understand people's reason, they will always only ask and not pay, I am afraid that this trip is fraudulent, I hope the city lord will think twice. Xuanyuan Zhuo took the lead in expressing his thoughts, in his opinion, the alliance with the Holy Fire Clan is undoubtedly with the tiger, the most important, he is worried that the Holy Fire Sect and the Zhang family have already colluded, if the alliance is successful, he is afraid that the Xuanyuan Clan will have no place to stand.

"Patriarch Xuanyuan is too worried! Not all barbarians don't know etiquette, as long as the Holy Fire Sect is truly united, why should we refuse people thousands of miles away? You know, there are still several tribes eyeing each other in this land, and one more alliance is much stronger than one more enemy tribe!" Zhang Tao's concerns were not wrong.

"Let's not mention that the Holy Fire Sect is accustomed to plundering other people's territory, and Leader Zhang's territory alone has lost a lot! Coupled with the experience of the barbarian clan, now that the alliance is in the alliance, you are not afraid of luring wolves into the house, at that time, if you lose the city, can you afford it?" Although Xuanyuan Zhuo's words were light, his words were prickly, which made Zhang Tao's face suddenly become ugly.

"In the Northern Wasteland, the weak eat the strong, and it is common for various races to peep at each other and plunder, which is the law of survival. Besides, the alliance does not mean that it will be included in the city, we can first examine the authenticity of the other party before making a conclusion, what is the reason why the Xuanyuan patriarch was all killed, do you want to see us isolated and helpless, and one day besieged by all the clans? In this way, the hard work of the city lord and our two clans for so many years has not been in vain?" Zhang Tao became more and more angry, if he did not try his best to restrain himself, he was afraid that he would have to slap the table.

"Hehe! Leader Zhang is serious! The old man is just expressing his thoughts, not aiming at anything! Since you and I are both vassals of the city lord, it is better to let the city lord take the idea. "Xuanyuan's real intention is actually to test it, and now that he sees that Zhang Tao is not as calm as he imagined, he naturally no longer fights with words.

Ye Gucheng's ideal is that the world is peaceful, in this regard, Zhang Tao's joint strategy is even more popular with him, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Back then, when the two clans were united, I said that if there is a difference of opinion, the two clans will vote together, and now that I am the city lord, I can't break the rules, therefore, I propose to vote, with the principle of minority obeying the majority, agree with the alliance of the Holy Fire Sect soldiers, please raise your hand." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Tao was the first to raise his hand, and all the generals of the Zhang family also raised their hands to follow suit, of course, only Zhang Yueli was an exception.

Zhang Yueli is a straight person, admits death, is good to her, she is relieved, and if she is not good to her, she will never forget that the Holy Fire Sect plundered her territory in the past, killed her good playmates, and had such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, how could she be willing to reconcile with the other party! It's just that, in the face of her father's angry gaze, she could only reluctantly and slowly raise her hand.

Xuanyuan Zhuo naturally saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but show a sly smile.

I have to say that this result was unexpected by Ye Gucheng, the side that raised his hand was actually a barbarian tribe, and no one in the Xuanyuan clan raised his hand to agree. frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "If you don't agree with the alliance, please raise your hand." ”

Xuanyuan Zhuo was naturally the first to take the lead, and the clansmen have always looked at the patriarch with the head of the horse, and the patriarch raised his hand, and the clansmen all obeyed.

And sure enough, it was!

"Okay, please put your hands down. ”

Ye Gucheng felt very disappointed, after many years of getting along, the two clans still went their separate ways, completely ignoring the overall situation, whether it was right or wrong, and only obeyed the patriarch's orders!

Now that the votes on both sides are the same, the decisive vote still fell on his head! His fingertips tapped the table a few times, and he muttered: "Six years ago, we slept all the way in the open air, and the soldiers of the two nationalities fought bloodily, during which our soldiers lost their comrades-in-arms, their children lost their fathers, their wives lost their husbands, and the old people lost their children. I don't want to fight again, and I don't want the soldiers to fight on the battlefield in blood, if we can coexist peacefully, it will be our best choice, so I agree with Leader Zhang's view that we should be in alliance. ”

Xuanyuan Zhuozhuo's face sank slightly when he heard this result.

Ye Gucheng saw this scene in his eyes, and hurriedly remedied: "Of course, Patriarch Xuanyuan's concerns are also reasonable, we really shouldn't act rashly until we find out the truth, therefore, I decided not to go to the Holy Fire Sect tribe, let the Holy Fire Sect come to the new city to negotiate, and only allow a few followers to enter the city." I wonder if you have any objections?"

"The city lord is wise, and Zhang Tao has no objection. ”

Zhang Tao voted, and the generals of the barbarian tribes naturally agreed one after another, but Zhang Yueli did not say a word.

"Xuanyuan has no objection, and is willing to obey the orders of the city lord. "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, Xuanyuan Excellence can only take a superficial position.

"We will do what the city lord commands. ”

The generals also expressed their positions.

"Okay! Pass them all! Trouble Leader Zhang to arrange the alliance. At this point, Ye Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, city lord, we will do our best. ”

"Next, I announce the appointment of personnel, Leader Zhang and Xuanyuan Patriarch are each the deputy city lords, who will assist me in handling all matters in the city, Xuanyuan Wendong will appoint the chief commander of the building, responsible for the repair of buildings in the city and land development, and the remaining generals of each clan will be appointed by the two deputy city lords at their discretion, and I will issue the city rules to the notice boards everywhere later, I don't know if you have any objections?"

"We have no objections. ”

"Okay, if nothing else, the meeting ends. Ye Gucheng drew an end to this meeting.

"The city lord is wise, we will retire. ”

The crowd got up and retreated.
