Snow, Blood......

One white and one red, when blended together, turned into a dark color.

The sunlight was refracted by the snow and looked white and miserable, without a trace of temperature.

The corpses of Kaitiankou were spread out in large areas, and the terrible aura still filled the air, some beasts followed the smell of blood to find and gnaw on the corpses, and a group of vultures also circled in the sky, ready to enjoy the next feast.

Groups of adventurers appeared one after another, looking at the blood-soaked snow with frightened or complicated expressions, and then avoided it far away and entered the wild realm.

Qibei. Nord returned to Xiling City with a hundred black-armored troops, and the five wolf generals and eight star generals followed obediently behind him, and everyone in the city looked at him with awe.

No one doubted that Qi Bei could control Xiling City, and those who bet that he would definitely lose in three or five days slapped themselves one by one.

In front of the City Lord's Mansion, there is still a residual smell of blood, and when Qi North went to Kaitiankou, the people of the three major forces came to attack the City Lord's Mansion, and the people who watched the excitement thought that Qi North was going to be finished.

But the strange scene that followed was jaw-dropping, the people of the blood wolf and the stars suddenly fought back, and cooperated with the black armor army in the city lord's mansion to kill the phantom's people without leaving a piece of armor.

Then Qi Bei returned safely, followed by the five wolf generals and the eight star lords, many people figured out the taste, and dared to love that the city lord had quietly subdued the blood wolves and stars among the three major forces.

The City Lord's Mansion recruited thousands of qualified warriors and magicians, these people were divided into groups of ten, with a black-armored sergeant as the team leader, divided into a hundred groups to take turns patrolling in Xiling City, and killed hundreds of people who were fighting in Xiling City, which made everyone believe that what Qi Bei said was not a lie, and Xiling City became unprecedentedly stable.

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Qi Bei was dressed in a brocade robe and looked at the map of Xiling City hanging in the hall.

Xiling City is indeed very large, about the size of half of the Golden Leaf Imperial City.

At this time, Qi Bei's eyes were fixed on the Xicheng District, which occupied nearly one-fifth of the area of Xiling City, but there was not a single smooth street, not a single good house, and there were about 180,000 poor people living there.

Most of these poor people are old and weak, and many of them are the families of some adventurers and merchants, and after these adventurers and merchants died in the chaos of Xicheng Ling, their families were reduced to the slums.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" the phantom walked behind Qi Bei and said softly, a pair of jade hands habitually pressing his shoulders for him.

"Look at my territory, the next snowstorm should not be far away, I was thinking, this is how to settle these poor people in Xicheng District. "Qi Beidao.

The phantom was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he remembered, and the whole person was suddenly in a daze.

Qi Bei turned his head, but saw that the phantom's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, took her hand and let her sit on his lap, and gently stroked her face with his big hand, and said, "No matter what you go through, I will be by your side in the future." ”

The phantom didn't speak, just shook his head, tears sliding down in strings.

"Good, don't cry, the phantom doesn't cry......" Qi Bei hurriedly hugged the phantom into his arms and comforted him softly, not quite understanding why she was so sad all of a sudden.

Outside, a hint of pain flashed in the eyes of King Kong who was clubbed like a pillar, he had always thought that his sister was too young to remember what had happened back then, but now it seems that she actually remembered it all along, but she only said it from the end.

The one-eyed man next to him saw that his eyes were full of anger like a brass bell, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently put his hand on his shoulder.

King Kong turned his head and looked at the worried gaze of One-Eye, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and his eyes were full of anger.

At this time, Murong Xingchen entered the City Lord's Mansion, followed by the three elf girls of the Smoke Spirit.

After hearing the report, the phantom wiped a handful of tears, jumped up from Qi Bei's arms, and ran to the backyard.

Murong Xingchen was still wrapped in a headscarf, covering his face with a light veil, revealing only a trace of star-like beautiful eyes.

"Xingchen, do you want this young master?" Qi Bei asked with a smile, stepping forward and pushing Murong Xingchen into the hall.

Behind him, the three elf girls exchanged glances.

Murong Xingchen ignored Qi Bei's verbal teasing, and as soon as he entered, his eyes stayed on the map hanging in the hall, and when he saw that the slum area in Xicheng was circled with red lines, he couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise.

Qi Bei noticed Murong Xingchen's gaze, and remembered her identity as a Murong healer, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are here for this poor man?"

"Hmm. Murong Xingchen nodded.

At this time, the three elf girls quietly retreated, and by the way, closed the door in the hall.

Qi Bei remembered what Yan Ling had said, and a strange feeling flashed in his heart, these three girls are really doing their best, it seems that they are determined to get Murong Xingchen together with him.

"Xingchen, do you think we have a heart? I was just thinking about how to settle these poor people. Qi Bei pulled over the chair and sat next to Murong Xingchen.

"Really, do you have any way?" Murong Xingchen's gaze at Qi Bei softened a lot, she had also thought about it before, but the chaos in Xiling City made her walk on thin ice, and without absolute domination, her transformation of the slum would only become the target of public criticism.

"I don't have a detailed plan yet, but before the next snowstorm comes, build a batch of simple brick and stone houses, let them spend this winter first, and then wait for Young Master Ben to integrate all walks of life, there are many jobs that don't take much effort, and they can also make a living on their own. "Qi Beidao.

Murong Xingchen's beautiful eyes flashed with a faint brilliance, and she looked at Qi Beidao: "Are you really willing to help them? ”

In the eyes of the aristocracy, isn't it only their own interests? Aren't the people of the lower classes all cheap? The nobles in Murong Xingchen's heart are like this, no matter how personable they are on the surface, how gentlemanly and elegant they are, their nobility is only highlighted by trampling on the bodies of the people at the bottom.

Qi Bei smiled faintly and said, "Do you think so?" In fact, I help them to help myself, the prosperity of a territory is not measured by gold coins alone, the standard of measurement is the overall living standard of the territory, if everyone in my territory is rich, and there is no longer hunger and poverty, then this is the biggest benefit I get." ”

Qi Bei didn't want to hypocritically say that there was no class distinction in his territory, and in any era, any race, class was inevitable.

Murong Xingchen looked at Qi Bei in a daze, she saw this side of him for the first time, and it made her heart move.

Qi Bei peeled a fruit, reached out and pulled down Murong Xingchen's veil, and handed the fruit to her mouth.

Murong Xingchen raised his hand to take the fruit, but Qi Bei dodged it, and then brought the fruit to her mouth again, his eyes domineering.
