Chapter 512: The Death of the City Lord
Luo Jianxin and Mu Xiaofeng felt that something was wrong after hearing the news, they hurriedly followed the guards out, and Aya also rushed out at this time, he shouted at Mu Xiaofeng and them: "Lord Luo! Brother Mu Xiaofeng! Where are you going? ”
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't take care of Aya anymore, but just told Aya to take care of the store, and they would come if they were in a hurry.
At this time, when Luo Jianxin and Mu Xiaofeng rushed to the vegetable market, they saw a person lying in a pool of blood, and this person also had chickens, ducks and fish scattered on his hands, and it seemed that he was going to cook a big meal.
The two stepped forward to take a closer look at the person who fell to the ground, this person was Ah Wen, and at this time, Ah Wen was no longer breathing, his body was already cold, and it seemed that he was powerless to return to the sky.
"Father!" Aya's screams came from behind Mu Xiaofeng and them, and Aya couldn't rest assured that Mu Xiaofeng and them were relieved, so she secretly followed, but she didn't expect to see her dead father.
"Turn around! Arya! Don't look at it. Mu Xiaofeng stood up at this time and stopped in front of Aya, who obediently leaned her back against Mu Xiaofeng, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing.
At this time, Luo Jianxin also slowly stood up, she didn't expect that the master of Divine Sword City that she had finally found died like this, she summoned the guards and asked who did this.
The guards brought over a person with a big tie at this time, and this person knelt directly in front of Luo Jianxin, this person was the guard who knelt in front of Luo Jianxin in the dungeon before.
But this person was very disdainful, he didn't even look at Luo Jianxin with a straight eye, and he didn't look like he was groveling just now.
"How dare you assassinate the city lord of Divine Sword City? Have you forgotten how you begged me for mercy just now? Arwen just spared your life because of your intercession! Luo Jianxin didn't dare to imagine that the guard who had just been saved by Ah Wen would assassinate Ah Wen.
"Phew! What is the city lord of Divine Sword City, this guy is just a prisoner, and our Bai Da is the city lord of Divine Sword City. I just pretended to lower his guard and kill him. "Although this guy is just a guard in the dungeon, he has followed Bai Yitian for many years and has become Bai Yitian's henchman.
Although Bai Yitian is dead, his power has not been completely eradicated, Luo Jianxin is a little worried at this time, she doesn't know how many people like this there are in Divine Sword City.
At this time, Luo Jianxin gritted her teeth, and she ordered all the 50,000 elite soldiers stationed outside the city to enter the city, and summoned all the people in the city to the vegetable market.
Everyone in the city, including the guards in the city, came to the vegetable market, they looked at each other and didn't know what was happening, but they felt a little uneasy when they saw the 50,000 elite soldiers around them, they had never felt such pressure.
At this time, Luo Jianxin asked the elite soldiers to temporarily set up a platform, and climbed to this high platform by himself, and the guards in the city wanted to gather in front of this platform, and then the elite soldiers defended these guards, and the other people could only stand on tiptoe outside.
Luo Jianxin beckoned to Aya and motioned for him to stand up with him.
Aya didn't know what was going on at this time, but he nodded, wiped the tears from his face, and stood on the platform with Luo Jianxin with the support of the soldiers.
"Child, I want you to take a good look at how I avenged your father." Luo Jianxin touched Aya's head, then turned his head to all the guards and said, "All the guards of Divine Sword City, behead immediately." ”
Hearing Luo Jianxin say this, all the guards immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they didn't know why Luo Jianxin suddenly wanted to kill themselves, and they were powerless to resist in the face of these 50,000 elite soldiers.
This Luo Jianxin's such a cruel order made Mu Xiaofeng can't help but look over, he didn't expect Luo Jianxin to have such a ruthless side.
But Luo Jianxin himself knows very well that Bai Yitian has been in charge of Divine Sword City for so many years, and the forces in it have already penetrated deeply, if she kills these guards, she can't eradicate Bai Yitian's forces, even if she changes someone to sit in the position of the city lord of Divine Sword City, this city lord will lose his life, even if he wants to kill some good people by mistake.
In the face of the pleading of these guards, the elite soldiers around them couldn't bear to start, and they all looked at Luo Jianxin, wanting to see if Luo Jianxin would raise his noble hand.
At this time, Luo Jianxin let out a long sigh, and she shouted loudly to these Divine Sword City guards in the audience: "You keep saying that you didn't do anything, but you really didn't do anything. Let me ask you, as the guardian of a city, the outer enemy against the strong, and the inner security of the people, have you done all this? ”
Luo Jianxin's words made all the guards silent, Divine Sword City has been relatively stable all these years, and there are no foreign invasions, of course, there are no strong foreign enemies.
And Bai Yitian did a lot of evil in Divine Sword City, and they all saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, but no one came out to resist, they didn't do anything, they just became a calm bystander.
Sometimes, although bystanders do not harm others, their silent behavior is only aiding and abetting.
Luo Jianxin saw that these guards stopped talking, so he continued: "Bai Yitian is powerful in Divine Sword City, I believe you all know, you are already derelict in your duty as a guard, even if you don't resist, even if you sue the overlord." But for the first time in so many years, I know about the situation in Excalibur City, do you think you deserve to die? ”
There were a few of Bai Yitian's henchmen among the guards, and they wanted to fight their way out of the encirclement, but they were cut into meat sauce when they first came into contact with the elite soldiers around them.
The guards all fell to their knees and drooped their heads at this time, knowing that they would not escape death today, so they all stretched their necks and waited for the big knife to cut off their heads.
Luo Jianxin nodded in satisfaction, and then she opened the Nine Yuan Solution, and took out thousands of flying swords from behind her, all of which were suspended around the guard's neck under Luo Jianxin's control.
Luo Jianxin had just mastered the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, and at this time, her second use already seemed to be practice makes perfect, thanks to Aya's iron ring.
"Aya! I have avenged you. Luo Jianxin smiled slightly, only to see her fingers flick slightly, thousands of flying swords slashed down at the same time, and the guards fell to the ground one after another.
Aya was stunned when he saw this scene, he was too young to see such a cruel scene, but Luo Jianxin told him that in the future, if he wanted to sit firmly in the position of the city lord of Divine Sword City, he must be both strong and soft, cruel to enemies, and kind to friends.
It was because Awen was too merciful that he mistrusted the guards of the dungeon that he caused the murder, and Luo Jianxin didn't want Aya to suffer the same thing.
After hearing this, Aya nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly he came back to his senses, Luo Jianxin wanted to become the city lord of Divine Sword City.
"Lord Luo! Aya is still young, and I am afraid that the position of the city lord will not be able to sit. ”
"It's okay, I'll send a cronie to assist, but it must be you who inherits the position of the city lord of Divine Sword City, and when the time comes, I will explain the situation to the overlord and let your family forever reinstate Divine Sword City." However, in addition to governing the city, you still have to devote yourself to cultivating your craftsman skills, and I hope that you can also become the top craftsman of the hegemony like your father. ”
After hearing this, Aya immediately knelt down in front of Luo Jianxin, and he swore that he would definitely work hard and not live up to Luo Jianxin's trust in him.
Luo Jianxin nodded, and then she announced the news to everyone in Divine Sword City, and everyone was very surprised when they heard it, this Aya was a child about ten years old, how could he sit in the position of the city lord.
The opposition began to rise one after another, which made Luo Jianxin a little dissatisfied, the flying sword in her hand slowly rose and flew in front of those people, these flying swords were all pointed at these people, as if threatening them, if anyone has any more objections, the next person to fall on his head will be that person.
At this time, the people also quieted down, although they didn't have any expectations for this Aya City Lord, but under the pressure of Luo Jianxin, they all half-knelt on the ground and saluted Aya, and shouted loudly: "See the City Lord." ”
Luo Jianxin showed a smile of satisfaction when she saw that everyone was obedient, she had been in a tense state just now, and this smile made her really relieved.
At this time, Luo Jianxin slowly retreated behind Aya, and then nudged Aya forward and asked him to accept everyone's worship.
Aya looked at these people kneeling on the ground, her eyes were a little stunned, this child has experienced too many things in this short period of time, and he doesn't know how to let him digest it for a while.
"Say something, please? Everybody's waiting down there. Luo Jianxin leaned down and whispered next to Aya's ear, which brought Aya back to her senses.
Aya took a deep breath at this time, he glanced at the people in the audience, and then plucked up the courage and shouted in a childish voice: "From today onwards!" I am the lord of Excalibur City. ”
The people were silent, and occasionally some people sneered, these people didn't expect to wait for such a sentence from Aya for so long, which was really disappointing.
Hearing someone laughing, this made Luo Jianxin frown slightly, she was very dissatisfied, and was ready to command the flying sword to fly towards the few people who had just laughed.
But at this time, Aya suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Luo Jianxin, he turned his head to Luo Jianxin and showed an innocent smile, and said, "Leave it to me." ”
Although Luo Jianxin was a little apprehensive at this time, she was not sure if this ten-year-old child would be able to control such a situation, but when she saw Aya's confident smile, she let go of those people for the time being, so Luo Jianxin took back all the flying swords, and her nine-solution state was lifted.
"I know everyone will have doubts about me, a teenager, if this little guy can really manage Excalibur City well? But think about it, I'm just like you, we all live on the same street, in the business of making iron and selling swords. No one knows you better than I do, for I am you. ”
Aya's words made the people in the audience quiet, and these people all looked directly at the child on the stage, and some expectations began to grow in their eyes.
And Luo Jianxin was also impressed by Aya, he didn't expect this kid to say such a thing.
At this time, Aya saw that the people had been pacified by himself, so he cleared his throat and continued: "Starting tomorrow, the taxes of all shops in Excalibur City will be reduced across the board, and each shop will only need to pay a basic tax of one gold coin per month, and there will be graded taxes for weapons of different qualities, and part of these collected taxes will be used to establish a chamber of commerce. In the future, this chamber of commerce will provide low-interest loans to various shops to facilitate the turnover of funds. ”
Aya's own decree was issued less than an hour after he took office, and this decree surprised everyone, everyone did not expect this teenager to make such a wise and decisive decision, and it was precisely because he came out of the shop.
