Chapter 151: Changes in Blue Dragon City (3)
Qinglong City has just been put in order, and Qing Yi has to make a decision next, he must choose the next heir of Qinglong City, and then receive training.
Although he was only forty-three years old at this time, and he still had many years to govern the Blue Dragon City, it would take a lot of time to cultivate the heir of the Green Dragon City, and in the process of the heir being tested, if the heir was found to be of bad character or not loyal enough, he would have enough time to replace the heir.
The heir of Qinglong City is confirmed by the city lord, but it is not completely confirmed by the city lord, after all, it is related to the future of the Holy Medicine Valley, and whether the heir of Qinglong City can finally ascend to the position of the city lord depends on the meaning of the Holy Medicine Valley.
Qing Yi already had three candidates before, one was her daughter Qingyue, who had received a good education and strict training since she was a child, and her strength and achievements in Qinglong City were also obvious to all.
The second is Qingyi's nephew Qingqian, who is four years younger than Qingyue, talented and diligent, and has been cultivated since childhood like Qingyue.
But what Qing Yi likes the most is actually the third person, that is, his own righteous son, named Qingtan, he has no gorgeous background, and he doesn't like to be showy, usually taciturn, not pandering, not flattering, and looks a little arrogant. But he is the most upright, loyal and righteous, and will not be easily shaken by external objects.
Qingyi thought about it for a long time, but still chose Qingtan.
He had just finished writing cursive for his heir, and before the ink had dried, another bad thing happened.
I don't know the news from there, but it quickly spread like crazy throughout Qinglong City.
The sensational and tragic plague that had gradually been forgotten by people was once again mentioned by men, women and children in the streets.
The reason for mentioning it is that someone found that the source of the plague was a remote village called Pure Water Village. Originally, only Qing Yi and his henchmen knew about this matter, and he didn't mean to hide it, but the news he found at that time did not play a role in the control of the plague, so he was thrown aside.
I didn't expect this matter to be mentioned again, and some people also found that among the original villagers of Jingshui Village, twenty-one people were outsiders, that is, the group of outsiders who Qingyi took in a year ago.
After those twenty-one people came to Pure Water Village, Pure Water Village became a barren land, and an unprecedented plague broke out in Qinglong City, and the source of the plague was Pure Water Village, and it was difficult for people not to connect these together.
Because of the kindness of the city lord Qing Yi, he brought about the destruction of the entire Qinglong City.
Here's how the news spread.
Those who have died because of the disaster, those who still dare not go out in fear, and those who still dream at night will still be awakened...... After knowing the news, he could no longer suppress his grievances, pain, and resentment, and the spearhead was suddenly pointed at the city lord Qing Yi, who brought disaster to Qinglong City, and it was he who made the entire Qinglong City fall apart, making their lives bleak and frightened.
The accusations and curses were all smashed at Qing Yi, the city lord who had been working hard for Qinglong City for more than 20 years, and under the instigation of such a message that didn't even know the truth or falsehood, he became the sinner referred to by the entire Qinglong City.
Even if Qing Yi walked on the road, he would be spit on, smashed vegetable leaves, and thrown rotten eggs, but he didn't blame, he didn't blame, he just said sorry and smiled.
Can he do that? This is the people he has guarded for more than 20 years, and it is indeed under his governance that such a disaster happened in Qinglong City, and it was he who did not protect his people well.
The rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and the people's emotions are getting more and more intense, and when they reach the back, people are like crazy, they don't open shops, they don't work, and even the affairs at home are just gathered in groups outside the city lord's mansion, shouting slogans for Qing Yi to get out of Qinglong City. With a kitchen knife and axe, if there is a slight disagreement, it will fight at any time.
Qing Yi suddenly aged several years, and he began to think about whether it was time for him to let go.
No one in this world can easily shake Qing Yi's determination, and the only people who can make him compromise and give in are the city's citizens who he has worked hard and tried his best to protect, if they really want him to leave, then no matter how reluctant he is, he can only follow their wishes, this is probably the last thing he can do for them as the city lord of Qinglong City.
That morning, I got up early as usual, put on the simple blue robe, took the vermilion pen, and read the mountains of letters on the bookcase with great care, where there was a murder, where there was a disaster, as in the past twenty years, I sat meticulously in my own work.
When the henchman pushed the door in, he just dropped the last stroke, and before the henchman could speak, he had already stood up, waved his hand at his henchman and said: "Time flies so fast, I don't have to get up early and work in the dark anymore, I should also go to the mountains and forests to live happily, to be honest, I haven't left Qinglong City for many years." ”
He said it lightly and open-mindedly, but his henchman saw two lines of tears slipping from the corners of his eyes, he loved the city so much, but he couldn't escape the fate of being expelled.
The City Lord's Mansion has long been crowded with people, surrounding the entire City Lord's Mansion, men, women and children, widows and lonely, they are standing there neatly, just as lively as the day he succeeded to the position of the city lord more than 20 years ago, but it is a pity that their eyes looking at him are no longer admiration and love, but hatred, is complaining, that fiery gaze, his sincerity, burned out a big hole.
A path dispersed in the crowd, and surrounded by everyone, a man and a woman came to him holding hands, two people he was familiar with, and the last thing he wanted to see.
"Daddy......"
The woman was interrupted by Qing Yi as soon as she spoke, "Yue'er, why are it you?" Why do that? ”
Qingyue's eyes widened, and she was very surprised, "Dad, why are you ...... I'm not ......."
Qing Yi knew what Qing Yue wanted to say, it was nothing more than asking him how he knew that it was a rumor from her, or how could he be sure that it was her? When Qing Yi first learned about this, his shock was far from being describable in words, the well-behaved and lovely little girl in his impression had unconsciously grown into his strangest appearance under the immersion of the years.
"Yue'er, what else is there to say, the matter has come to this point, there is no intention to say more." The man pulled Qingyue over, looking at Qingyue's self-blaming appearance, a little annoyed, "Qingyi City Lord, oh no, it's the former city lord, if you hadn't stubbornly prevented me from being with Yue'er, and you would have given the position of city lord to an outsider who has no blood relationship with you, Yue'er and I wouldn't have taken such painstaking efforts, you could have been your city lord quietly, and then enjoy the joy of family after abdication, but you have to be stubborn, and we are also forced to be helpless." ”
