Chapter 695: Cuiyun City Lord Mu Qianmei
Mu Qianmei hurried away at night, and the next morning they returned to Magnolia City in the West Rain Country.
The war did not spread to Magnolia City, and it was relatively peaceful, but although there was no war, it was completely different from usual.
With the outbreak of the civil war, one city after another was engulfed in the flames of war, and the displaced people all flowed to the rear, and the area around Magnolia City became a good place for the displaced people to flee for their lives.
There are not only a large number of poor people, but also many wealthy businessmen, who want to transfer materials and property, after all, they still have to transfer to the metropolis, and the largest city in the West Rain Country is Magnolia City, which is more prosperous than Yong'an City, the capital of the West Rain Country, so it is naturally their best choice.
What's more, many businessmen have their own branches in Xiyu Country, and even have their headquarters in Yulan City, so it is easier to transfer.
As the most prosperous city in the Xiyu Country, Yulan City itself has a very dense population, with more than 30 million, and now the influx of a large number of displaced people has tripled, reaching more than 60 million, and a large number of displaced people are still gathering here every day.
With so many people coming here, it is far beyond the city's ability to control it, and there are a lot of fights going on every day, looting, fighting for territory, gang fighting, looting food, etc., and the control of the city is on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion here, there is also a temporary palace, coupled with the intervention of the city defenders, it can barely maintain normal operation, if it were not for a large number of masters of the temporary palace to join, Yulan City would have fallen into hell on earth.
However, a large number of displaced people continue to gather every day, how long can normal order be maintained here?
Liang Xinghe, the lord of Yulan City, has ordered the city gate to be closed and no longer allow the homeless to enter, so the outside of the city has become a temporary shelter for many people.
There was no army outside the city and no people from the city lord's mansion to maintain order, and it was even more chaotic, as it seemed to be a place outside the law, and bloodshed and death occurred in large numbers every day.
Tingxuelou's headquarters is located in Cuiyun Mountain, outside of Yulan City, before Mu Qianmei left, Cuiyun Mountain had already taken in three million displaced people, and during this time, it has grown rapidly, and now it has reached more than 10 million.
Fortunately, Mu Qianmei had already planned to build a Cuiyun City in advance, so for the influx of displaced people, it did not seem panicked, under the leadership of Zhou Yunxi, Tingxue Lou continued to carry out construction, not all the funds were from Tingxue Lou, because there were also rich people among the displaced people, when they heard Zhou Yunxi's introduction, they immediately felt that such a new city would become another prosperous metropolis in Xiyu Country, so they all invested in construction.
Many hooligans also have a livelihood because of this, and building a big city requires countless laborers, if it is usual, it can only be done slowly, because there is not so much labor involved in the construction, but now the most important thing is labor.
Listening to Xuelou seemed to have become the second city lord's mansion of Magnolia City in a blink of an eye, due to the rapid increase in population, a temporary army had to be formed, which was trained by some veterans, and then quickly invested in the construction and maintenance of the new city.
As the emperor, although Zhou Yunxi had never participated in the affairs of the imperial court before, he was familiar with it and understood the process, so he was also handy in management.
He wasn't really bad at specific affairs before, he just didn't like to participate, but the current situation was not up to him, and he couldn't watch the homeless people riot and the situation got out of control, so he could only rise to the challenge and temporarily activate a large number of talents from Tingxue Building and Tingxue Academy, and set up a temporary government in Cuiyun City.
Fortunately, Tingxue Lou has been established for a while, and many of the literati and military generals are ready-made, and with them as the core, and then select some good talents from the homeless people to join, it can be regarded as readily available.
The provisional government of Cuiyun City was the fastest to build, in order not to affect the normal order of Tingxue Tower, Zhou Yunxi handed over the specific affairs of Tingxue Academy to Ji Yuanqiu to handle, and he completely freed up his hands to deal with the affairs of Cuiyun City.
Listening to the affairs of the Xuelou headquarters, Bai Xiaolong has full authority to handle it, and when Zhou Yunxi needs someone, he just needs to ask him.
One is a former emperor, the other is a white dragon with tens of thousands of years of soul, not to mention a new city, even managing a country is very easy.
Now the name Bai Xiaolong, but I heard the most famous name in Xuelou except for Mu Qianmei, here, few people would call him Xiaobai directly, almost everyone called him Bai Hall Master, and when he spoke in private, he needed to mention his name, and they all called him Bai Xiaolong.
When Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were no longer there, he was the highest leader of Tingxue Tower, and the other hall masters were all the only ones who looked ahead.
In fact, he doesn't have to worry too much about listening to the affairs of Xuelou now, there are so many hall masters in charge, as the hall master of the Chuangong Hall, he only needs to check the cultivation situation from time to time, so he also has a lot of time to accompany Zhou Yunxi to the New City Lord's Mansion in Cuiyun City to assist Zhou Yunxi in handling daily affairs.
Cuiyun City was created by Mu Qianmei herself, she was the first city lord, although she was not there, but everyone knew that the city lord of this new city was Mu Qianmei.
However, there are not many real buildings in the city, many of which are temporary dwellings, buildings, roads, shops, etc., are in full swing.
After Mu Qianmei and her entourage returned to Yulan City, they did not immediately return to Tingxue Tower, but went to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.
Wu Changhao's accidental stabbing cast a shadow over the entire city, and sadness spread rapidly in the city.
Liang Xinghe personally led the crowd to greet Mu Qianmei and his party outside the city lord's mansion, and when Mu Qianmei came to the city lord's mansion, Liang Xinghe greeted everyone and said with a sad face:
"Lord Mu Lou returned triumphantly, he should have been warmly welcomed and celebrated, but the emperor died, the situation was critical, and everything could only be made up for when the situation stabilized."
Mu Qianmei also said with a sad expression:
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to be poisoned by this, and when I heard the bad news, we set off for our return immediately, and now, the matter of Dabi is no longer important."
Liang Xinghe said slowly:
"Let's go in, let's go in and talk about it."
As he spoke, he led Mu Qianmei and his party into the City Lord's Mansion.
After sitting down, Liang Xinghe spoke:
"The emperor's coffin will not arrive until three days later, and now the palace is preparing for the burial."
Mu Qianmei asked with a solemn expression:
"I wonder what the battle is going on?"
Liang Xinghe replied cautiously:
"According to the news spread by the war report, after the assassination of the emperor, it aroused the resentment of the army, and now a crazy counterattack is being carried out, and the enemy is retreating one after another."
"However, there are also a small number of people who began to secretly take refuge in their opponents because of the death of the emperor, which caused a very bad impact and greatly damaged the morale of the army."
Tong Xuan Dao said sadly:
"The emperor is dead, the dragons are leaderless, it can't go on like this, what are the plans of the imperial court?"
Liang Xinghe frowned and replied:
"The emperor has no heirs, according to the rules of inheritance of the throne, the second prince should inherit the throne, but the emperor is the second prince who bought murder, so naturally he cannot inherit the throne, and the current government is temporarily represented by the prime minister."
"This temporary court is also divided into several factions, some are loyal to the emperor and want to avenge the emperor, and some are beginning to want to transfer their positions and go to the second prince."
"In short, it's just a gibberish."
After Mu Qianmei and her entourage learned the details of the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, they said goodbye and left.
The other contestants also went back to their own gangs or academies, and Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng took Abbot Puhui, Tongxuan Daoist and Miaoyue Shitai to Tingxue Tower.
When the young building owner returned, the main characters of the Xue Building were waiting outside the gate, and the leaders were Zhou Yunxi, Ji Yuanqiu and Bai Xiaolong, as well as the hall masters of each hall, and the main backbone personnel, all arrived.
There were a lot of onlookers, in addition to the disciples and students who listened to Xuelou, there were also many homeless people and businessmen who came to invest.
Of course, there are also many characters from various gangs in the rivers and lakes, and for a time, outside the entire Cuiyun Mountain, there are crowds of people, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
Due to the death of the emperor, everyone did not make a too warm welcome ceremony, but many people's faces couldn't help showing excited expressions.
Because the news that Mu Qianmei won the individual championship in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List has spread to all corners of Magnolia City, and she has become a hero of the West Rain Country.
This is the most glorious time in the West Rain Country in 10,000 years, isn't it really exciting?
It's a pity that the death of the emperor has shrouded the Xiyu Kingdom in a very strong atmosphere of sadness, so no one celebrates such a victory.
Back in Cuiyun Mountain, the three abbots of Puhui were completely stunned by the scene in front of them, how long had they not come, and this place had turned into a city?
Although many buildings are under construction and have not yet really taken shape, judging from the layout in front of them, this newly built city is even more magnificent than Magnolia City!
In fact, not only did they sigh, but even Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were deeply stunned, in such a short period of time, so many displaced people had increased here, and the construction of the city had already taken a rough shape, and it seemed that it had indeed changed a lot.
Zhou Yunxi introduced:
"Young lord, in order to facilitate the management of this newly built city, we have set up a temporary city lord's mansion, and the young lord is the first city lord of Cuiyun City, everyone hopes that Cuiyun City can develop rapidly under the leadership of City Lord Mu, and strive to surpass Magnolia City."
Mu Qianmei said unexpectedly:
"I'm the lord of the city? How does this work? The lord of the castle should be appointed by the imperial court. ”
