Xiankou City, that is, the name of the largest central node of Jingzhou City led by Yuan Yaocheng, was named by Zhuge Liang, because the construction layout of this node city is like a high mountain that has been broken open, so it is named Xiankou City, which has a population of 500,000, including a permanent population of 100,000, and an average daily flow of nearly 100,000 people, which is an important hub for H Province to connect with the provinces below.
Where there are people, there is exploitation, injustice and dirty, Xiankou City is no exception, behind its prosperity of people coming and going, some people starve to death, some people freeze to death, some people are innocently killed, even if Yuan Yaocheng was brainwashed by Zhuge Liang and is absolutely loyal to Huayu, but his humanity is still retained, and greed is one of human nature.
On May 7, the first year of the empire, today is the busiest day since Yuan Yaocheng took office, and even when he first took office, he was not as busy as today, because today, the army of the Gaia Empire going to N Province will rest here, and Yuan Yaocheng, who received this notice, has been busy since the moment he received the notice, and even his subordinates have been busy with him.
The snow in the city and on the city walls was cleared, and occasionally a person who was frozen to death in the city was found to have his body secretly burned, and the roadside beggars were secretly placed in remote rooms, and all the filth was cleaned up, and most of the rooms were also cleared, and even if the rooms were occupied, they were driven out, and they were all crammed into a large warehouse for the time being, and when it was night, the city of Xiankou had been completely renewed.
Looking at the appearance of the street in front of him, Yuan Yaocheng nodded with satisfaction, "Fortunately, my superpowers worked, otherwise I wouldn't be able to clean up in a day, I should give myself a little more reward, and find two beauties to enjoy before the army comes." โ
When Yuan Yaocheng went to enjoy the beauty, the army of the Gaia Empire had quietly come to 10 miles outside Xiankou City, and Hua Yu walked down from the air fortress under the protection of the guards.
Seeing the scene of Xiankou City from a distance, Hua Yu couldn't help frowning, "Empress, what time is it?" โ
"11 o'clock in the evening."
"It's 11 o'clock, why is Xiankou City as bright as daytime, didn't you say that the empire is now short of energy, and you are not allowed to waste energy at will? Who is the ruler of Xiankou Castle? Hua Yu said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen estimated that he was informed that the Imperial army would rest here today, so he turned on all the searchlights on the city wall at night." Su Qin walked over and said.
"Who notified?" Hua Yu asked.
"Wechen." Su Qin replied.
Hua Yu sighed: "Hey~~~ Ji Zi, don't be like this in the future, I used to hate such officials very much, I want to be a Ming Jun, and I can only see the real thing by secret private visits, as soon as you notify me like this, everything bad will be hidden by him." โ
"Hasn't that person been brainwashed by Prime Minister Zhuge ? He is absolutely loyal to His Majesty, so I didn't think about it that much. Su Qin explained.
"Although that person is absolutely loyal to me, Kong Ming said that he just made him loyal to me, but he did not change their character, otherwise they are an unconscious puppet, such a person is not able to manage the city, so they actually still retain the root nature of human beings, and there may be corruption, this phenomenon must be severely cracked down on in my empire." After Hua Yu finished speaking, he took out a single snowmobile and sat on it, "You guys then swaggered over, Saber, you have to listen to Marshal Su's words, otherwise I will let you go back, I will secretly go to Xiankou City first." โ
As soon as the words fell, the solo snowmobile rushed out, and the rolled snow splashed the person standing next to the snowmobile.
"Captain of the Thirteenth Guard, join me to secretly protect Your Majesty." Wang Yu shouted at the guards standing around, and immediately disappeared in an instant, and the thirteen people wearing the windbreakers of the "Grim Reaper" captain standing in front of the guards responded and disappeared in an instant.
"Hey~~~ I estimate that the leader of Xiankou City is going to suffer." Su Qin sighed and said.
"Sir, you don't have to be so emotional, Your Majesty's behavior is a blessing to the people." Pang Tong, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, walked over, looked at the snowmobile in the distance and said with a smile.
"Well, that's true, Empress, inform me that the Governor of the Third Army will stay behind and be responsible for the surrounding guards, and the Governors of the other Army will then go with me to Xiankou City." Su Qin nodded and said.
"Yes, Marshal." The Empress replied.
A total of 5 group armies were dispatched to N Province this time, namely the First Group Army, the Second Group Army, the Third Group Army, the First Vanguard Group Army, and the Second Pioneer Group Army, and Su Qin was appointed by Huayu as the commander of the whole army.
As for Huayu, the Gaia Empire advertised that Huayu was still in the Miracle City, the capital of the empire, in fact, Huayu secretly followed, and with him came Saber, the pro-guard army led by Wang Yu, at this moment the pro-guard army is no longer just Wang Yu himself plus his thirteen apprentices, his thirteen apprentices also have their own apprentices, it should be said that they are students, Wang Yu in order to cultivate a strong pro-guard army for Huayu, when his thirteen apprentices learned to dissolve, he applied for the establishment of a Death Academy, Wang Yu himself served as the first principal of the Death God Academy, and his thirteen apprentices were the first teachers in the Academy, the Academy only accepts ordinary people, because only ordinary people can be transformed into the Grim Reaper, but these ordinary people are also the elite of ordinary people, otherwise they are not eligible to enter the Death God Academy, and only after learning the beginning of the understanding can they be eligible to join the Guards, and those who join the Guards directly have the rank of captain, and have the treatment of the rank of captain.

The southern gate of Xiankou City.
Hua Yu was standing here with a serious face, and he was in a very bad mood at the moment, because he saw a line of banners above the city gate, which read, "Warmly welcome the soldiers of the motherland to come and rest!" โ
"Empress, what's the name of the commander here?" Hua Yu asked in a low voice.
"Yuan Yaocheng, a 39-year-old man, superpower, level 100, the superpower is called Snow Spirit, you can summon a snow spirit to fight, that Snow Spirit is good at ice magic, in this icy and snowy environment, its power will be strengthened, with his current level to summon the snow spirit in such an environment can exert a maximum of six levels of power, the resistance to fire energy is very weak, he himself used to be a civil servant, but after 15 years as a civil servant, he is still a small clerk." The Empress replied.
"Is that so? Ability is very useful at this time, but he is estimated to be poor, he is still a small staff member for 15 years, how bad should this character be, or how bad his ability should be, how could Kong Ming send someone like him to manage such an important hub as Xiankou City? Hua Yu said puzzled.
"According to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, what he values is his superpowers, as for the ability to govern, he also has a son named Yuan Zhi, although he is an ordinary person, but he has a great talent for management, Prime Minister Zhuge means to let Yuan Yaocheng lay the foundation first, and then let Yuan Zhi take over Xiankou City." The Empress replied.
"Oh, then I'll go and see this Yuan Zhi, if he really has that ability, I will reward him with a Devil Fruit, or let Dr. Sun transform it, and directly let him take over the position of commander of Xiankou City."
Hua Yu walked towards the city, and as soon as he walked through the city gate, he saw two soldiers wearing high-particle power armor flying over and stopped in front of Hua Yu.
"Hey, boy, ordinary people can't enter Xiankou City today, didn't you see the words written on the city gate?" One of the soldiers said.
Hua Yu was stunned, he was actually forbidden to enter the city he built, "Huh? I saw it, but I didn't see it and said I couldn't enter. โ
"You're blind, come here, I'll show you." The soldier grabbed Hua Yu's collar and dragged it out, not noticing Hua Yu's expression at all, this is still since Hua Yu became the emperor of the Gaia Empire, he has not disguised himself and has been treated so rudely by the soldiers of his own empire, but Hua Yu held back his anger, he wanted to see what this soldier could point out.
The soldier dragged Hua Yu outside the city gate, pointed to the banner on the city gate and said, "Don't you see the small line under the big characters?" Non-Imperial soldiers are not allowed to enter. โ
Hua Yu took a closer look, only to find that there was indeed a line of small characters under the big characters, which was just read out by the soldier, "Make no mistake, it's so small, who can see it?" โ
"How did I see that? Tell you, you broke into the imperial city without permission, this has violated the laws of the empire, this military master sees that you are a first offense, as long as you hand over the fine of 10,000 miracle coins, he will spare you, otherwise he will follow me into the dungeon of Xiankou City. The soldier raised his Gauss rifle in his hand and threatened.
"Oh, isn't this just an excuse to blackmail? I wonder why there is no one guarding the city gate, and someone came as soon as I entered the city gate, you are fishing to enforce the law! Hua Yu shook his hand and said.
"What's the matter, what kind of hand are you kidding, hurry up and get the money, otherwise I will arrest you and go to jail." Just now, the soldier who dragged Hua Yu out was about to grab Hua Yu's shoulder again, and Hua Yu immediately reached out and grabbed the soldier's wrist.
"I advise you not to move, I saved your life just now, tell me, all the words on this banner, the small print that wraps the line, who wrote it, if you don't make it clear, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Hua Yu said and took out a card printed with the coat of arms of the Gaia Empire, the soldier glanced at the card in Hua Yu's hand, and his legs were weak with fright, if Hua Yu hadn't grabbed his wrist, I am afraid he would have fallen to the ground, and the other soldier knelt down directly, kowtowed and confessed his mistake: "General, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, but recently the heating gems are not enough, and my family is so cold that I can't stand it, we just came up with such a ghost idea, and ask the general to spare his life." โ
"Oh, is that so?" Hua Yu let go of his hand, and the soldier who was caught collapsed to the ground at once, and then immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Hua Yu, "General, we don't want to do this, if it weren't really cold and there was no way, we wouldn't have done such an illegal thing!" โ
"Hmph, breaking the law is breaking the law, don't make excuses, but if your situation is true, the crimes you committed today can be forgiven, but you will report to the military headquarters tomorrow and receive a month of devil training."
Hearing the words "devil training", the two soldiers were almost not scared, but this is much better than being held in a cell or dismissed, the two naturally accepted it happily, and then told Hua Yu about their lives and family organization, Hua Yu asked the empress to check, and found that the situation was indeed true, and this check also found other problems, not only these two people are in this case, many soldiers guarding the door are deducted from the supply of heating gems every day.
"Okay, you two remember to report to the military headquarters tomorrow, so retreat."
"Thank you, General, thank you, General." The two soldiers immediately got up and ran back.
"It seems that they should have been embezzled by the top, at the beginning of people, their nature is good, many people will not do bad things unless they have to, many of them are forced to go to a point of no return, and the culprits of this phenomenon are not only these people themselves and social relations, but also the inaction of officials, the first two I can't completely change, but the last one is what I can do, the empire's anti-corruption must be carried out to the end."
Hua Yu's eyes suddenly looked at the air on the side and said, "You can protect in secret, but without my permission, you must not act without permission, unless I didn't find out, you know?" โ
"No." Suddenly, a voice came out of the air, but the source of the sound was nowhere to be seen.
"Let's go into the city, I want to see, look at the detained soldiers, who gave him so much courage?" (To be continued.) )
