In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and Tianxuan's acting city director period is about to come. In the next half month, the election campaign in Lanmian City officially began.

Whether Tianxuan can turn from an acting city lord to a regular will soon be known.

The first thing to do is to nominate a candidate for the lord of the castle. Generally speaking, there are 4-5 candidates for a normal city election, all of whom are elected by people from within the city. However, because Lanmian City has a population of only 200,000, all candidates are set at three. But after looking at the list, Tianxuan found that in addition to himself and Wu Xiang, there was also a person named Jim.

"Who's this Jim?" Tianxuan asked his clerk.

"Oh! He is the newly promoted Lord of Brentre in Redstone. The clerk replied.

"Nani? He's already the lord of the city, why didn't he get promoted and come here to participate in the election? In other words, it seems that there are 800,000 people in Red Rock City! This is a promotion, but a demotion! Tianxuan said in surprise.

After a while, Tianxuan called Wu Xiang and asked why outsiders were involved in the nomination of candidates.

Wu Xiang was a little hesitant at first, but after grinding and hard foaming, he finally said something: "Actually, everyone thinks that you are not very good as the city lord, so they nominate an experienced person like Jim to manage it." ”

"Eight... Eight bitter energy! Tianxuan's eyebrows were raised high, his eyes widened and he couldn't understand it at all, and shouted, "What's wrong with me?" I haven't seen that I've been busy with the city's affairs day and night for the past two months, and I've also taken care of the development of the Twilight City. It's all for the benefit of the people, is there a problem with that?"

Wu Xiang waved his hand to signal Tianxuan to calm down, and after he calmed down a lot, he said: "What you did is indeed beneficial to the people, there is no mistake, if there is a mistake, you will be corrected a long time ago." But it's your policies that led to the nomination of Jim for the election. ”

“What？ Why is that? I'm confused about how to listen! Tianxuan frowned and asked Wu Xiang very puzzled.

"I can't say this clearly for a while, but soon you will understand!" After speaking, Wu Xiang walked out with a courtesy.

When Wu Xiang said this, Tianxuan felt extremely depressed, and held his head on the table with his hand, looking lost. For the next few days, he sat in such a depressed way every day until the day before the vote was announced.

The day before the vote was announced, Hercules, Nicos, and Black Carty all congratulated him, not wanting to see Tianxuan's sad face and asking why.

"I'm going to lose!" Tianxuan replied listlessly.

"Why? Isn't this not a vote yet?" Hercules asked.

"Didn't you see that Jim, the lord of Redstone City, was running for the election? I heard that it was because everyone was dissatisfied with me that he was nominated to manage in front! Tianxuan let out a sigh and continued.

"I've heard about this, Jim is indeed the lord of Redstone, and he was already promoted to Brentle's council, but he was suddenly nominated to run here." Black Carty said.

"Tell us what's going on?" Hercules asked.

So, Tianxuan told them exactly what Wu Xiang said to himself.

"Don't be too discouraged, haven't you announced the results of the vote yet? Besides, even if you fail, you learn a lesson, sum up experience, and have a chance in the future! Black Carty comforted.

"How long will you wait like that?"

"In my opinion, Jim won't stay long, and it is estimated that it will be 1-2 years in the transition!" Black Carty said.

"Damn! Forget it, anyway, the channel will be opened in a few months, and if I don't win the election, I'll go home and stop playing! Tianxuan half-squinted his eyes, exhaled, and said as if he didn't care.

"Don't be discouraged! It's not like you at all! Are you going to leave if you don't get elected? Nicolas asked.

"Huh!" Tianxuan was dumbfounded for a while, and after dozens of seconds, he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just talked about it." ”

In this way, with everyone's comfort, Tianxuan spent the day calmly.

The next day, Tianxuan attended the campaign ceremony with a peaceful mood.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Lanmian City, welcome to the city lord election site, after 10 days of operation, we have counted all the 200,000 secret ballots and sorted them out. Let's look forward to the results of the half-month election will be officially announced next, please look at the big screen! ”

When the host's voice fell, the names of the three candidates began to appear on the big screen at the ceremony, and then with a "ding dong", the number of votes appeared below Tianxuan's name - 47,433 votes. After the numbers were displayed, there was a thunderous applause from the audience.

Next, the host announced the number of votes for the second-place candidate Wu Xiang: "Wu Xiang, 45,128 votes." Then there was another thunderous applause from the audience.

Finally, when Jim's votes were announced, everyone held their breath!

"Jim, 101,440 votes." As soon as the host announced, the audience immediately burst into unprecedented applause.

After listening to the host's announcement of the results, Tianxuan was dumbfounded all of a sudden. But out of courtesy, he still forced a smile and handed over the seal to Jim respectfully.

Jim got the ribbon and stepped onto the podium to begin his impassioned speech. However, Tianxuan was in no mood at this time, and faded out of everyone's sight amid thunderous applause.

"Where's Tianxuan?" Nicolas asked Hercules and Hercules next to her.

"Didn't you get there?"

"He's not going to be fine!"

"Impossible!"

"Let's go after him!" Nicolas suggested.

Hercules and Hercarty nodded in agreement, and began to search for Tengen with Nikos.

After a few moments, they finally found Tianxuan, but he was walking towards the underground confinement chamber.

"He's not going to go to Gusas!" Nicolas said as he rubbed his lips with his fingers.

"Looks like it should be!" Hercules replied.

"Oops!" Nicos patted her buttocks and shouted anxiously, "That's not good!" It wouldn't be good if he was bewitched by Gusas and went down his old path! We've got to pull him back!" ”

Black Katy bowed her head and remained silent.

But Hercules said directly: "Impossible, how can he be so fragile." No fuss! ”

Nikos gave Hercules a blank look and retorted, "What if he becomes like Gusas?" You said! ”

Hercules raised his head and said, "I'm sure I'll give him ......."

"What about him? Kill it? Nicos asked, pouting.

"Huh!" Hercules was stunned for a moment and said, "Beat him up until he wakes up!" ”

"Cut!" Nicolas put her hands on her back and turned sideways, very unhappy.

"Alright, don't argue!" Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Hei Katy hurriedly said, "Tianxuan is in a very lost mood now, in case it is not impossible to be bewitched, let's not argue, let's quietly follow first." If you find that there is a situation, stop it in time, if there is no accident, we will come out quietly, and it will be good if he does not find out! ”

Nicolas and Hercules agreed with Black Carty's suggestion. So, the three of them tiptoed into the underground confinement room with Tianxuan.

At this time, on the last floor of the underground confinement room, Tianxuan slowly walked towards Gu Sas's cell with a blank expression......

"Tianxuan, why are you here?" Gusas sat cross-legged on the ground and asked with a smile.

"If you're in a bad mood, come and relax."

"Hahaha!" Gusas laughed a few times and teased, "Some of them have scattered into the cell." I think you're here to talk! ”

"Huh!" Tianxuan rolled his eyes, sighed and said, "I really can't hide it from Mr., it's true." ”

"So what the hell is going on?"

"Hey!" Tianxuan sighed again and said, "My city lord has lost the election!" And Wu Xiang and I didn't have as many votes as someone who came over temporarily. ”

"I see! Do you know why you lost the election? Gusas asked, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I still haven't figured it out!" Tianxuan drooped his head and said with a depressed face.

"Then tell me what happened!" Gusas said solemnly.

So, Tianxuan spent two hours describing to you what happened from serving as the acting city lord to the day the election results were announced.

After listening to Tianxuan's narration, Gu Sas raised his head slightly, touched his chin and said, "Well, I know what's going on!" ”

"Oh? Do you know why, sir? Tianxuan's eyes opened at this time.

At the same time, in the corner not far away, Nicos whispered: "It seems that Gu Sath is going to teach the evil Tianxuan, let's go out and stop it!" ”

"Slow!" Black Carty grabbed Nicos and whispered in her ear, "Don't be so impulsive, hasn't Gusas spoken yet?" We'll see. ”

"Okay!" Nicols nodded slightly under the persuasion of Black Katy, and continued to stand in place and eavesdrop.

At this time, Gu Sas touched his chin and told Tianxuan his opinion: "You have committed two taboos. ”

"Which two?" Tianxuan asked eagerly.

"First, you've only been in office for a short time, and you've spent most of your time in the Twilight City."

"However, Twilight City has been merged into Lanmian City and has become one!" Tianxuan argued.

Gu Sath shook his head and said, "Although the city of Twilight has been taken over by Lanmian City as a hostitarian city, isn't it still under construction, and what you did there, most people have not seen it with their own eyes and felt it personally. So people will have a sense of dispensability for you. This is your first mistake. ”

"That's what happened. And what about the second one? ”

"The second is that after the destruction of Lanmian City, it is a time when everything is in ruins, no matter what your reason, you should not transfer all the elites in the city to build the Twilight City."

"However, I thought it was in Maya's best interest."

Gusas pointed his finger and said in a strengthened tone, "Yes! It's your idea that's the deadliest. Think about it, as the city lord of Lanmian City, he must first think about the people in the city, and he brought out the elite to support others, how did the people in the city feel. No matter how many great achievements you make, Lanmian City will not get any benefits. ”

"Am I doing something wrong?" Tianxuan squeezed his brows, looking sad.

"Nope! You didn't do anything wrong, it just wasn't right in time. Like Radamandis, after his image in the city has been firmly established, he will have no problem going out for a year and a half, because this time is not worth mentioning for his entire tenure. And you only have two months, but you don't see you for most of the time, that's the crux of the matter! ”

"Oh!" Tianxuan suddenly realized at this time. He raised his head, opened his eyes wide, arched his hand, and said, "Listening to what Mr. said, it made me pause!" I've got it all clear. Thank you very much! ”

"Hmmm! It's good that you can understand, although you are the big hero of Lanmian City, but the people didn't choose you, are you a little disappointed? Gusas asked.

"No, I think it's the opposite, if the people just blindly worship and pin their future on me alone, it's terrible, and it's easy to fall into the abyss!"

"That's good! I'm relieved that you can think so. At the same time, I'm glad you came to me! Gusas said with a smile.

At this time, the three people who were eavesdropping on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Hei Katy hurriedly whispered: "Since there is no problem, let's retreat quickly, so as not to be discovered by him." ”

"Yes, yes! Let's go! With that, the eavesdropping trio tiptoed back the way they came. At this time, it also happened that Tianxuan was saying goodbye to Gu Sath and preparing to leave.
