Chapter 61: To Each His Own Calculation

May 1, 2018

"Hah, it's over!"

When Zhao Shenlu turned off the projection technique with relief, the relaxed smile on his face was extraordinarily infectious.

However, the people around her couldn't laugh alive.

"Miss, are you serious?" Zhao Lingbo's eyes were round, and because of the excessive strength, he even had a tragic feeling of tearing his eyes, "Why?!" ”

"Because I don't want to do it anymore." Zhao Shenlu said as a matter of course.

"No, don't want to do it?" Zhao Lingbo was stunned again, and then felt that his eyes were staring at him a little painfully.

Zhao Shenlu asked rhetorically: "What's the point of this Golden Jade City Lord doing it?" The benefits are nothing more than two points, one is condescending and controlling the life and death of millions of people, but I have never disdained to control the fate of ants. Most of the time, I want people to do things for me, and I don't have to use my status as the lord of the city, just a smile is enough. The second is that the position of the lord of the city is conducive to accumulating wealth, but you have been with me for so long, do I look like a person who is keen on the pursuit of wealth? ”

Zhao Lingbo subconsciously recalled.

10 years ago, Zhao Shenlu's 17th birthday banquet invited the gold medal orchestra of Jin Yusi Zhulou to perform, and invited the famous god of food in Liantiancheng to cook food, and finally gave generous gifts to the guests. The budget for the banquet is 10,000 thousand spirit stones, and the actual expenditure is 30,000 thousand spirit stones.

8 years ago, it was still the 17th birthday party, Zhao Shenlu set the venue in the Jiutiangang wind layer on a whim, spent a lot of money to build a pavilion in the wind, and invited celebrities from all over the world. The budget for the banquet is 30,000 thousand spirit stones, and the actual expenditure is 10,000 spirit stones.

5 years ago, at the 17th birthday banquet, Zhao Shenlu suddenly wanted to see the full moon, so he still launched the Golden Jade Great Array to change the day, and consumed more than 500,000 spirit stones overnight......

To say that Zhao Shenlu is keen on accumulating money, it is of course utterly absurd, she has never been keen on accumulating money, only keen on consumption!

Zhao Shenlu glanced at Zhao Lingbo: "What are you thinking?" ”

Zhao Lingbo hurriedly replied: "I am recalling the high wind and bright festival since the eldest lady became the city lord. ”

β€”β€”

On the whole, Zhao Shenlu's words are not wrong, she is actually not good as the Lord of Jinyu City......

Zhao Shenlu said: "I must rob this city lord in the past, in order to find someone. Mobilizing the resources of the whole city to find people is, after all, more convenient than me alone. But now that the person has been found, I naturally have no reason to continue to be the lord of this city, and it just so happens that there is an ideal successor here......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Hongxue next to her smiled bitterly: "Shen Lu, don't make such a joke with me." ”

Zhao Hongxue looked at this theoretical biological daughter helplessly, and touched her neck helplessly - although the pinched place did not hurt, there was a kind of hot embarrassment. In front of everyone's eyes, being picked up like a commodity is really shameless.

Although he hadn't thought about any face problems in front of his daughter for a long time.

"I'm okay with you looking for someone to take overβ€”and I'm never in your turn to give adviceβ€”but where am I the ideal successor?"

"Twenty years ago, you were the official city lord of Golden Jade City, you were highly respected, and you received the unanimous support of the elders, and it took me a lot of effort to drive you down."

mentioned the old things back then, Zhao Hongxue was even more embarrassed: "I was young and ignorant at the time. ”

Zhao Shenlu looked at Zhao Hongxue: "Really don't want to?" ”

Zhao Hongxue waved her hand frantically: "I really don't want to, and I really can't do this city lord...... To be honest, if it's someone else's class, I'm probably a little sure, but your class is really not easy to take. I have seen everything you have done in the past 20 years, although you may have done a lot of strategic deployments casually, but your whimsical ideas and geniuses make people sigh at themselves. And you have been running it for 20 years, and this city is no longer something that a mediocrity like me can control. ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "Yes, but a fool like Zhao Hongwu can form a provisional government to replace him." ”

"They don't know whether they live or die." Zhao Hongxue was also not polite, "Fortunately, they have only been in power for more than ten days, and most of them have not reacted yet." If they are really put in power, when the economy of Jinyucheng declines or even collapses, they will be pushed to the guillotine by millions of people! ”

Zhao Shenlu then smiled: "I understand it, no wonder I have been very honest all these years...... However, I have already decided on the handover of the city lord, and I don't want to waste any more time. If you really don't want to do it, then transfer the position to someone else, such as Zhao Hongwu's idiot. When he collapses the Golden Jade City, you will return to the call of the people. ”

When Zhao Hongxue heard this, she finally lowered her head helplessly.

This daughter really saw him through.

Zhao Hongxue was indeed thinking about this idea in his heart, if Zhao Shenlu really wanted to hand over the shift, then he would push Zhao Hongwu to the front of the stage. In his opinion, although Zhao Hongwu and his ilk are both talented and sparse, they will definitely not be qualified Jinyu City Lords, but they can act as a filter to filter out Zhao Shenlu's poison. Then, it is possible for him, a mediocre talent, to take over the position of city lord.

β€”β€”

At the same time, in the Golden Jade City, in a secluded restaurant box, Zhao Hongwu was stunned as he watched the projection that was gradually extinguishing, and Zhao Shenlu's last few words were still echoing in his mind.

She's gone?!

The position of city lord was handed over to Zhao Hongxue to inherit?

What kind of play is this? She finally got out of the seventeen chain locks and set things right, now is the time to rebuild her authority, why did she retreat bravely!?

This doesn't make sense!

If something is abnormal, it is a demon! Zhao Hongwu took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "You say, what poisonous tricks are hidden here?" ”

At the dinner table, there were also seven or eight Zhao elders of the same age as Zhao Hongwu.

As the losers of the coup d'Γ©tat, they originally accompanied Zhao Hongwu to warm up and drink to drown their sorrows, but unexpectedly heard Zhao Shenlu's resignation announcement at the wine bureau. The patriarchs all wore shocked expressions and groaned.

"Could it be...... A test of loyalty? One veteran speculated, "It's a deliberate gesture of resignation to see how others react." If you don't keep her seriously, you're disloyal to her......"

"Makes sense!"

"So that's the case, it's really a vicious scheming, without further ado, let's go to the book to save it immediately!"

"A simple epistle has no strength, and it is better to write in the blood of all people...... It just so happens that I work as a director of a cultural company, and I can buy services such as 10,000 autographs at a discounted price. I'm going to contact ......."

Seeing that the elders were about to take action with great interest, Zhao Hongwu's brows became more and more furrowed: "Is it that simple?" Zhao Shenlu has always hated that kind of reckless flattery without technical content, and this kind of thing as the Book of Blood of the People may be effective for ordinary city lords, but in her opinion, it may be more like a joke. Moreover, what she said just now, is she really acting? She has found all the people in the class, Zhao Hongxue...... It's a pretty reasonable choice. ”

When the patriarchs heard this, they immediately stopped and looked at each other.

"That, Hong Wugong, in your opinion, what does she mean?"

"I don't understand." Zhao Hongwu said, "I just think that maybe she really wants to abdicate." But now I can't figure out why. ”

After being silent for a while, someone suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe she's going to die." ”

The people around him were shocked when they heard this.

"What are you nervous about, old man? This kind of thing can be said casually? What if she hears it? ”

"Brother String Player, it's rare for you not to die, but don't do it yourself......"

The old man named String Bullet was the old man who was planted by Zhao Shen yesterday in full view of everyone, declaring that he was going to break out at noon the next day. Later, when he returned home, he invited a famous doctor to rectify it with a bankrupt attitude, and finally dissolved the sigil - and according to the famous doctor, the sigil was really merciful to Zhao Shenlu's subordinates.

"I'm telling the truth, what is there to die? What's more, if she wants to listen, she can hear everyone's conversation just now, and you are only scared now, don't you think it's too late? The old man gritted his teeth and said, "With that girl's greedy nature, if she hadn't encountered some big trouble, how could she suddenly resign and not do anything?" She is obviously afraid that if she continues to stay in office, she will be seen as weak! I'll just say, the collision of the Shattered Moon Sword Array that day seemed to destroy the world, she was in the center, how could she be safe and sound! It is likely that he had already received a fatal serious injury at that time, and he was just surviving! ”

"String Playing Gong, your guess is too subjective......"

"Then why do you think she resigned?" The old man cites his arguments, "If you want me to say, if you are brave enough, you can order all the people now and fight her to the death!" This was our last ......."

Before he finished speaking, the old man froze suddenly, and then his seven orifices bled and fell unconscious.

Next to him, Zhao Hongwu withdrew his right hand and said expressionlessly: "Brother String Playing Talisman Seal broke out, and he was delirious, I can't remember the words he talked nonsense just now." ”

The rest of the patriarchs nodded one after another: "Exactly, we can't remember." ”

"However, Zhao Shenlu's resignation really can't be taken lightly......," Zhao Hongwu frowned, "What should I do?" ”

When the crowd was at a loss, someone sighed and said, "At this time, of course, it is necessary to keep the light and keep quiet." ”

"Hong Wen? What do you think? ”

"Zhao Shenlu's resignation is true nine times out of ten, and she is looking for Zhao Hongxue to take over, most of which is also serious...... However, do you think that with Zhao Hongxue, it is possible to take over Zhao Shenlu's position smoothly? Not to mention Zhao Hongxue, who in the world can sit on the throne of the Golden Jade City Lord? If Zhao Hongxue really takes over, she will definitely make a big mess. Therefore, during this period, we must not act rashly, but put on a posture of pious atonement and ignore current political issues. When Zhao Hongxue is anxious and scolded by Wanmin, let's go out of the mountain in time to take over the endgame. ”
