Looking at Xia Xianlong, who was crying bitterly, Shen Shuming pondered for a moment and asked, "Really, really let you do anything?"

Hearing this question, anyone's first reaction must be to consider whether they have been fooled.

However, Xia Xianlong did not. He immediately nodded, "That's right." Only if you don't kick me out of the Hidden Dragon, I can do whatever I want. Even if it's a cow and a horse, I'm willing. ”

Shen Shuming smiled: "It's not easy to be a cow or a horse here. However, the dragon head did not want to lose the city. ”

Xia Xianlong was stunned for a moment. After doing it for a long time, I want to be the city lord for Wang Xiaotian!

In fact, being the city lord for Xia Xianlong is not a more difficult punishment to accept than expelling him. But the problem is, I don't know how to do it, and I don't have much experience.

Shen Shuming continued, "From now on, you have nothing to do with the hermit. If you want, we can work with you privately, and if you don't, our hermit people will leave the city completely. ”

"I'm willing!I'm willing!" Xia Xianlong hurriedly agreed.

Shen Shuming nodded and said, "Very good." You have a week to hand over to Wang Xiaotian and get familiar with the city management work. Seven days later, we left here. ”

Although Xia Xianlong's face was depressed, he did not show a desperate look, but had some hope, he hurriedly thanked Shen Shuming, and then grabbed Wang Xiaotian's hands, "Xiaotian, please help me." ”

When Wang Xiaotian heard that Xia Xianlong was going to replace him as the city lord, he was overjoyed all of a sudden. At first, his purpose in driving out the emir was simple, to preserve the names of Uncle Durban and other members of the hermits.

But he didn't expect that if he really became the lord of the city, Dushant would become a cage that bound him, and he himself would become a trapped beast in a cage. He was still young, and he was full of curiosity about the world and couldn't be idle for a moment. Therefore, he desperately wanted to get out of this position, but he was never able to get out of it.

Unexpectedly, this problem was solved by Zhou Ziheng. Xia Xianlong became his top tank. Wang Xiaotian was happy and funny in his heart. Happily, I finally don't have to be bound by this mess anymore.

What's funny is that Xia Xianlong, as the initiator, has always stayed out of the matter and is leisurely, but this time he finally lifted a stone and smashed his own feet.

Retribution, it's too timely!

Wang Xiaotian endured the joy in his heart and asked, "What do you want me to help?"

Xia Xianlong said: "How to govern Dushante?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "If I knew how to deal with it, I wouldn't be able to pull my hair all the time." ”

Xia Xianlong thought for a moment and asked, "Then how many of the ten people you think this time can stay for my use?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "That Ge is really okay." The rest can also stay two or three, but they can't be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and they should start from the grassroots work first. After a while, the job position will be adjusted according to their work situation. ”

Durban said: "Looking at the answers they wrote just now, except for Ge Zhen, the others are simply miserable, do such people want to stay?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes." There used to be a story about a thousand dollars buying horse bones. If we are willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy the bones of BMW, it is enough to show our desire for Maxima. Those who have Maxima, will surely flock to it. ”

In the same way, we can keep these people who are not capable, and those who are capable will definitely come to us when they know about it. In this case, won't the problem of talent be solved?"

Xia Xianlong nodded, "You're right. What else do I need to do?"

Wang Xiaotian spread his hands, "First of all, we must stabilize the people's hearts. However, the fight against local tyrants and the division of land you said is too radical and easy to provoke new riots. I think you can consider starting small and slowly gaining the support of the people. Of course, this is just an immature suggestion on my part. ”

Xia Xianlong asked, "Where are you talking about the small place?"

Wang Xiaotian said: "Meng Ziyun, sympathize with widows and loneliness, let the old have something to rely on, the young can be raised, the people are naturally safe, and the country is naturally rich and strong." Moreover, didn't it be said before, to compensate for the dead and wounded in the riots, this is the first small point. ”

"The second small point is to open schools so that young people can read and write. Dushant is a commercial city. Business dealings inevitably require people who can write and calculate. Through this exam, it can be seen that the literacy rate here is still too low. ”

Xia Xianlong nodded again and again.

Wang Xiaotian continued: "Third, since it has been decided to occupy Dushant. For the treasure left by the previous city lord Emir, there is no need to be polite, and it can be used directly. That's what I just said. ”

"Fourthly, you must develop your own caravans, especially the means of buying and selling grain. In the huge Dushante, almost all of the grain and meat are bought from outside, and once they are targeted and cut off from the food supply, what will so many people eat? I am afraid that if we cannot last even three days, the whole city will be in chaos. ”

Xia Xianlong nodded yes.

At this time, Shen Shuming suddenly said, "We won't leave until a week later." The two of you want to hand over work, and you have time. Now the most important thing is to get me some hot food, I haven't closed my eyes for three days and three nights, and I haven't eaten a bite of hot food to get here as soon as possible. I'm going to have a good meal and sleep for a day and a night. ”

Wang Xiaotian smiled and said to Xia Xianlong: "City Lord Xia, hurry up and make arrangements." ”

Xia Xianlong was stunned for a moment, obviously not adapting to the role change. Then he immediately nodded, "No problem." Shen Zuo, please take a seat. This is arranged. ”

He left in a hurry.

Durban also said: "Shen Zuo, I have to discuss with others whether to go or stay." I can't accompany you, and I ask the left envoy to forgive me. ”

Shen Shuming nodded.

Waiting for Durban to leave, Shen Shuming said to Wang Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, sit." ”

Wang Xiaotian sat down.

Shen Shuming said: "Your master is very concerned about the killer, you can talk about it." ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately told the story of the matter. During this period, Xia Xianlong took the miscellaneous servants of the City Lord's Mansion and sent a large table of beef, mutton, chicken and duck, flour cakes, and wine.

After Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, Shen Shuming swallowed the meat in his mouth, poured a large sip of mare's milk wine, and asked, "This girl, where is she now?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "She should have been to Dushante." However, I reckon that she is late, that Gulman is dead, that the emir has already left Dushant, that she is powerless to return to heaven by herself, and that she is afraid of being discovered by us, so she will not stay here. ”

Shen Shuming pondered for a moment and said, "The delegation has already set off from Kashgar to Xijing. Unless this girl is looking for death, she will not go to the Eastern Chu Kingdom. You can leave her alone for the time being. However, Xia Xianlong should be reminded to be careful. ”

After saying that, he grabbed another piece of fatty mutton and devoured it.

Wang Xiaotian nodded in response, and just wanted to get up and say goodbye, when he suddenly heard Shen Shuming say again: "You know the relationship between Princess Nia and Cao Lianyou, right?"

Wang Xiaotian paused for a moment and nodded.

Shen Shuming looked at him and said, "Back to Furong Academy, try not to let Princess Nia and Cao Lianyou be alone." ”

Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Shen Shuming shook his head, "I don't know either." This is what your master commanded. ”

Wang Xiaotian listened, didn't say anything, said a few kind words, got up and left.

In a small and cramped room in the slum in the southwest corner of Dushante, Butcher Hu squatted on the ground, talking about the recent movements in the city, while looking at the broken copper and iron all over the floor. He didn't understand why Jessica was going to collect these things.

Jessica was pinching a hole-in-the-hole copper kettle like plasticine while listening to Butcher Hu's report.

When he heard that a tall and strong man appeared at the gate of the city lord's mansion, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and directly entered the mansion, those soldiers on duty did not react in the slightest, and the movements of Jessica's hand immediately stopped.

She immediately looked at Butcher Hu and asked, "How does that strong man look?"

Hu Butcher thought for a while and said: "He is about one meter eighty-five tall, with broad shoulders, a thick figure, he looks tall and strong, wearing a military camouflage combat uniform, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard on his cheeks, and a smile on the corner of his mouth." ”

Jessica asked again, "Are you sure the guards standing guard didn't react in the slightest when he entered the gate?"

Butcher Hu nodded affirmatively.

Jessica's expression suddenly tensed.

Hu Butcher was very puzzled and asked, "Master, where is this guy coming from?"

Jessica said, "A very good guy. He has a natural skill called 'No Man's Land'. After launching this stunt, he can approach anyone with a lower Force level than him if he wants to, without being noticed. ”

"If there is a big difference between him and the target, even if he walks in front of the target, the other party will not be able to detect it. I can't even remember what happened afterwards. ”

Butcher Hu was amazed, "There is such a wonderful thing in the world. ”

Jessica nodded and said, "That's just such a wonderful thing." However, his stunts can only be effective when there is no killing intent. Once he has killing intent, the other party can detect it. I guess it's a special hypnotic stunt. ”

Jessica didn't say it, in fact, she has similar skills, but she doesn't have the corresponding talent. Therefore, she can only achieve the effect of not being noticed when she quietly approaches the target, and there is no way to be like Shen Shuming, who can swagger in front of the target.

Hu Butcher didn't understand, let alone question Jessica's judgment, nodded again and again, and said, "The master knows him so well, does he know him?"

Jessica looked fierce and gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. Even if I skin him and tear him apart, I know him. ”

Seeing Jessica's fierce appearance, Hu Butcher couldn't help but shudder, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Master." Isn't it dangerous for this man to come, and shall we get out of the city as soon as possible?"

Jessica shook her head and said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place." Even if Wang Xiaotian wanted to break his head, he couldn't guess it, I was right under his nose. Besides, we're penniless, and life here is a problem, so where else can we go?"

Hu Butcher lowered his head and stopped talking.

Jessica didn't pay attention to him, and quickly pinched the ball of copper in her hand with both hands, and soon pinched out one, and a lifelike camel came out, with hooves and tails, and a well-defined mane.

When Butcher Hu saw this copper camel, his eyes immediately straightened, and he exclaimed: "It's really beautiful, except that it's much smaller, it's the same as the real thing." ”

Jessica handed the copper camel to the butcher Hu and said, "Go, take it to the bazaar and exchange some money and come back." Don't sell it for less than a thousand gold coins. ”

Hu Butcher stretched out his hands and carefully took the copper camel, for fear of breaking it. Then he hid the bronze camel in his bosom and turned around and walked out quickly.

He walked out of the cramped room, trampled on the garbage, walked through the courtyard full of broken furniture, and walked through the sewage-ridden alley, twisting like a sheep's intestine, to a street. Then, he crossed the three main streets to a market, found a corner, squatted on the ground, and began to sell Jessica's masterpiece.
