Chapter 696: Visiting

Then, Vic said with a little pride: "The current Qingyuan City can be said to be the most prosperous city in the entire continent, and it has only been less than half a year, and the tax revenue is already more than ten times that of the three cities of Ula, Zhongping and Moyun combined, and this is still a lot of preferential policies issued by the city lord, otherwise, it will be more." ”

Mingyue didn't care about any taxes or anything, and said a little impatiently: "Then it can't be like this, don't you go out to do errands or something?"

Vic was speechless, they just made decisions in the City Lord's Mansion, and the rest of the things were left to their stewards, and they really didn't expect this. Vic looked at the crowded crowd in front of him and said very sincerely: "Well, this matter should be dealt with, if it goes on like this, not only will our people come out to make trouble, but these civilians should not continue like this." ”

The other two chief stewards also nodded, feeling that this matter should be solved as much as possible, and it can't damage the image of the city and affect the lives of residents because of taxes, but this matter is very difficult, and you can't drive out all the people who are not registered in Qingyuan City, so you have to study it slowly and think of a perfect solution.

Finally, the convoy came to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, the flow of people here became slightly sparse, and the breeze and bright moon that opened the road did not have a feeling of difficulty, plus the guards of the City Lord's Mansion accompanied them, those who lived near the City Lord's Mansion naturally recognized their outfits, and when they saw the convoy coming from afar, they took the initiative to get out of the way, and then stood on the side of the road, looked at the convoy curiously, and these strangers, guessing what the identity of some people was, and they could actually let the guards of the City Lord's Mansion escort them.

Vic: They are still very reliable, before leaving. They have already arranged a qiē. So. Along the way, although those civilians were very curious about the convoy, there were all kinds of conjectures.

But soon, those civilians got the news that they didn't know who it was, Qingfeng and their people were a small caravan, and they brought a lot of precious magical beasts, and these magical beasts were taken by the city lord, so they summoned them to discuss the purchase. The civilians suddenly realized, and some merchants also confirmed this rumor from various channels, envying this small caravan at the same time, they also wondered if they could also get some rare magical beasts, they did not want to buy them for the city lord to earn gold coins from them, but wanted to use this to meet with the three city lords and establish a good relationship, so as to obtain more convenience and benefits in the future.

Entering the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Hongshang and the others also got out of the carriage, and Qingfeng, Mingyue, Locke, Nuosen and others respectfully gathered around Baker and Hawke. Led by the three Vic, make your way through a vast meadow. Walk towards the castle with perseverance in the center. Petty looked at the City Lord's Mansion, which was slightly empty, but gave people a quiet, peaceful, and natural feeling, and sighed: "It's really a good place, compared to the outside, it's like two worlds." ”

Penny nodded and said, "yes, although it looks a bit simple here, it has a feeling of living in the wild, which is really nice." ”

Anna blinked and admired the surrounding scenery with big eyes, and she really liked this place in her heart, thinking that it would be good if she could live here for the rest of her life, but when she saw the bright moon walking in front, there was nothing else in her heart, and her heart was occupied by this man.

Sometimes, Anna is also very puzzled, I don't know why, she has only met Mingyue a few times, why she will fall in love with this man who doesn't like to talk very much, and is a little wooden, and the only answer she can find is that she was naked by this man.

Every time she thinks of this, Anna feels her heart pounding, her cheeks are red, and the feeling of being watched by her beloved man really makes her feel a little suffocated, but she is not uncomfortable at all, but she still enjoys it, and at the same time, she also has a faint expectation in her heart, looking forward to being able to become one with her beloved man.

At this time, Yaheng and the others had already received the news, and Ouyang Feng came to greet them outside the castle, Yaheng, Angelo and Gail, first respectfully greeted Baker and Hawke, and then didn't care about reuniting with their families, so they led the way in front and invited Baker and Hawke to enter the castle to visit and rest.

The people who are qualified to work in the castle are basically from the three cities of Ula, Zhongping and Moyun, they have all followed Yaheng and the three of them for many years, and they are trustworthy, and because there are too many things during this time, most of these people are not in the castle, but are busy with their own affairs outside, so except for some servants and guards, there are almost no people in the castle, which seems a little deserted.

Yaheng took a group of people, starting from the first floor, each room and purpose, are introduced in great detail, the first, second and third floors, basically are office areas, occasionally there are some lounges, used to entertain visitors, and the others are also taken a simple route, without any excessive decoration, no luxurious furnishings, only the thick and soft animal skin on the ground, which is the most luxurious decoration in the castle.

Yaheng's three people and three chief stewards worked on the third floor, the fourth floor was where all kinds of documents were stored, and the fifth floor was expected to be Yaheng's resting place, but during this time, they were too busy, so the fifth floor had not been used. Along the stairs, a group of people climbed to the top of the castle, stood on top of the castle, looked down, and had a panoramic view of Qingyuan City.

Holding on to the half-height wall, enjoying the soft sea breeze, looking at the bustling slightly bloated city, everyone's mood is involuntarily relaxed, this feeling of looking down on the common people is really good.

Ouyang Feng experienced the feeling of being on top, and said with some worry: "Let's stand here, isn't it too dazzling?"

Ya Heng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged a magic circle here, we can see the outside, but the people outside can't see us." ”

Ouyang Feng smiled evilly and said, "How can I feel like a voyeur." Yaheng rolled his eyes. Baker and Hawke stood quietly by the battlements, giving people the feeling of being immersed in the beautiful scenery, but in fact, the two were communicating with their advanced cultivation.

Baker said: "When I first came in, I thought that this place was a little too simple, but now, I think this place is really good, it is much stronger than the old-fashioned and decaying place in our holy city, and I believe that living here will be a lot better." ”

Hawke smiled and said, "What, are you tired of staying in the Holy City?"

Baker asked rhetorically: "Don't you stay in one place for more than a hundred years, don't you bother? Alas, it's really like leaving the Holy City, putting aside those worries, and enjoying the life of ordinary people." ”

Hawke also sighed, "Who isn't, but what can we do? There is still a large family in the Holy City that needs to be taken care of, so we can't really stay here and not go back." ”

Baker pondered for a moment, and asked with some hesitation: "You say, are we too self-righteous? The younger generations in the family have also grown up, do they really need our guidance? Shouldn't we also let go? This world no longer belongs to us old guys." ”

Hawke was silent, thinking of Dodd's growth for so long, as well as the excellence of those younger generations of the family, he sighed and said: "Yes, we are really old, and it is really time to let go and hand over the family to the next generation." ”

Baker and Hawke looked at each other and smiled slightly, and they had already made a decision in their hearts. Yaheng walked up to Baker and Hawke's side and asked softly, "Two seniors, how is it here?"

Although Baker liked it very much, in order to maintain the demeanor of his predecessors, he just nodded slightly and said, "It's not bad, it's the best place I've ever seen except for the Holy City and the Cave Mansion." ”

Hawke nodded in agreement, "Well, it's just that there are too many people here, and it's a bit noisy. ”

Yaheng originally wanted to show off in front of the two old guys, but when he heard the tepid comments of the two old guys, his face was very embarrassed.

Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "I think it's very good here, what are you afraid of when there are more people? ”

For Ouyang Feng's wealth fans, Baker and Hawke were very disdainful and sneered, with Ouyang Feng's current qiē, even if they couldn't compare to those inheritance families in the Holy City, they could be regarded as the richest people second to none, but they didn't expect this product to care so much about such a small amount of money.

A few little children were small and couldn't see the scenery outside the wall, so they were held by their mothers, looking at this new world with wide eyes, and they also knew that this would be their new home, so they looked very seriously, as if they wanted to keep everything in front of them in their hearts, so as not to get lost when they ran out to play in the future.

Since the little girl came here, she seemed very excited, pulling Hongshang and a few other big sisters, pointing there for a while and saying that it was the place they had just passed, and then pointing to the place where there were many people on the other side, saying that there must be something good for sale, and shouting that she must go and see it if she had time.

Hongshang listened to the little girl's guidance with a smile, and asked Anna, who seemed a little cramped and uneasy, "What's wrong?"

Anna awkwardly denied it: "What's there, what's there to be nervous about, it's just to look at the scenery." Hongshang glanced at Mingyue, who was also a little nervous, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more.

After spending some time on the roof of the castle, everyone came to the lounge on the fifth floor, which was very comfortable, and the chairs were covered with thick and soft animal skins, and the feeling of sitting was no worse than that of a sofa.

Locke and the others and a few little children did not stay, under the leadership of Vic and a few people, they left the castle directly and went to the living area prepared for them at the back, the elders of the three families, eating together and living together during this time, have become accustomed to this kind of group life.
