Chapter 274: Wei Xuecheng
Starting from Huaicheng, the most prosperous city in the world, or at least the most prosperous city on the surface, thousands of miles to the north is a vibrant plain. There are countless villages and towns on this plain, as well as dense forests and barren mountains, where countless spirits are hidden. This is the most prosperous place in the whole world, the back garden of the Weidao Alliance, and the heart of the Xuanmen.
And beyond this plain, further north, there are towering mountains, barren mountains and mountains, and the vast expanse of mountains is isolated from people.
Beyond this mountain range, you can slowly catch a glimpse of people again, but the city here is far less prosperous than the plain on the other side of the mountain.
Of course, the tallest of the short, there are still cities here that can be taken out, for example, the first city you encounter when you go north from that mountain range, Wei Xuecheng.
Wei Xuecheng is a hall of the Weidao Alliance, adjacent to Qingxi Chongluan, built on a plain with low mountains. Although this kind of terrain is not a big problem for the monks, it is indeed not particularly convenient to get around.
Because of this environment, Wei Xuecheng is much more backward than the city on the other side of the mountain, but because of this, it is much quieter and more beautiful, but it is more in line with the standard of the immortal residence in people's hearts.
Although people who have glimpsed the real situation of this world have a transcendent dislike for the Guardian Alliance, for those born and raised in this world, the Guardian Alliance is a real banner and a mountain that shelters from the wind and rain.
The trust of the people on this soil in the Weidao Alliance is stronger than that of the colleagues on the other side of the mountain, who are closer to the headquarters in Huaicheng—perhaps if they are not so firm, it will be difficult to face the difficult environment.
As one of the halls of the Weidao Alliance, Wei Xuecheng has a transcendent position on this soil, becoming the safest and most sacred place in the minds of settlements near and far.
The old city lord of Wei Xuecheng, a person who is polite, modest and courteous, and never relies on the old to sell the old, has a very high reputation in settlements near and far, let alone in Wei Xuecheng.
It's a pity that the old city lord is already very old, and no one knows when he will die suddenly. But as long as he is alive for a day, the position of this city lord will be as stable as Mount Tai for a day.
Of course, people's respect for the old city lord did not prevent them from discussing after the death of the old city lord, who should be the position of the city lord.
In the hearts of ordinary people, the city lord of Wei Xuecheng was equivalent to the spokesperson of the Guardian Dao Alliance here, and they never thought that the next city lord would not be recognized by the Guardian Alliance, let alone that every city lord would have to provide a large number of souvenirs, Cheng Yi, and hardship fees to the inspectors of the Guardian Alliance to maintain the status of this hall master.
But, of course—if the Guardian Alliance suddenly removes this hall and replaces it with another, they will soon find out—the new hall master will inform them. And their respect and yearning are also easily transferred.
- Wei Xuecheng, but it wasn't Tangkou from the beginning.
For these residents, after the death of the old city lord, the position of the city lord will probably be succeeded by the son of the old city lord, although there is no clear rule that the father will die and the son will succeed, but everyone tacitly calls the young man "the young city lord".
Of course, the old city lord and the "young city lord" knew very well in their hearts that this status had not yet been recognized by the Guardian Alliance.
While all the inhabitants were living in peace, the old lord and his son were looking south in anticipation, hoping to look beyond the mountains to the city of Huai, thousands of miles away.
What they were waiting for was undoubtedly the inspector from Huaicheng, the person who could grasp Wei Xuecheng's assessment results, who might not be insignificant in Huaicheng, but who meant a lot to Wei Xuecheng.
They paid attention to everyone who entered Wei Xuecheng, for fear that this inspector was a person who was conscientious, honest and fair, after all, they were very self-aware, Wei Xuecheng might be one of the best in this plain, but in the south of the mountain range, it could only be regarded as below average.
However, they were also afraid that the Ombudsman was an insatiable man. It was difficult for Wei Xuecheng to feed the people of Huaicheng.
They no longer dare to expect to meet a sensible, honest and selfless inspector who does not love money.
However, their anticipation lasted too long, from spring to summer, a full three months later than expected, and by this time, the inspectors of Huaicheng had not arrived.
Huaicheng seems to have forgotten that there is such a hall on the north side of the mountain.
"What if the Inspector Lion opens his mouth?" the young city lord asked his father for the thousandth and first time.
"Then try your best to feed him, cry and cry poor appropriately, as long as Wei Xuecheng is still a cousin, we still have the next monitoring to turn around. His father comforted him for the thousandth and first time.
"But...... Over the years, the appetite of the people of Huaicheng has grown. The young lord looked at his father with a wistful look, "We will not be able to keep up with their appetites one day." ”
"Guarding Wei Xuecheng, the gold and silver mountains are all here, and the pockets are empty, don't you know how to get them yourself?" his father frowned, and knocked the bluestone slab ground with his cane. In fact, he can walk like a fly without crutches, and he can fly with a sword, and the crutches are just decorations that he uses to show his high morality.
"But we've gone too far by squeezing these residents. The young city lord looked at his father worriedly, "How can they survive if they make money from them again?"
"You really should get out of this city, get out of this top city, take a good turn in the Northern Plains, and see how the people outside Wei Xue City live!" The old city lord was angry and viciously slammed his cane on the ground one by one, "We have already made them live well! People are adaptable, there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and when you use a little more force, you will find that they can still adapt very well!"
He was furious, and suddenly coughed violently as he spoke, almost fainting, so frightened that the young city lord hurriedly handed him the pill, and waited until the old father calmed down a little, and then he muttered, "But...... This is our home, everyone here is my relatives, how can I bear to let them live the same as those outside Wei Xue City......"
His voice became deeper and deeper, almost whispering, and even the old city lord, who was very close to him, could not be heard clearly.
"What if...... If there's another way, can you give it a try?"
Just when the old city lord and his son were thinking about their own plans, the inspector who they were looking forward to and looking forward to was taking two followers to cross the mountains, cross the Qingxi, and come towards Wei Snow City.
