Chapter Ninety-Six: Cleaning Up the Mess

Wang Xiaotian saw that the emir turned around and entered the city lord's mansion, and ordered loudly as he walked: "Everyone listen, hurry up and pack your belongings, and in an hour and a half, gather in the courtyard." ”

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had always feared that the emir would repent, and ordered his soldiers to fight them to the death. If they can win, it will be a miserable victory. The people that Uncle Durban brought with him may all have to be sacrificed. In that case, they would have completely lost their meaning when they turned back in a hurry this time.

He turned to Uncle Durban and the other members of the hermit and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry we're late. ”

Durban burst into tears, sobbing silently, and choked up, "I knew that the organization had not abandoned us. ”

He looked around at the other hermit members and said excitedly, "Do you see, the organization has not abandoned us. We're not outcasts, we're not!"

Hearing Durban's words, Xia Xianlong lowered his head a little ashamedly.

Because the whole plan was planned by him, all the responsibilities must be borne by him, of course.

At that time, he was only thinking about how to send Princess Nia and the visiting group out of Dushant and successfully complete the mission. did not seriously consider the safety of Uncle Durban.

Now, in retrospect, he felt that he was really cold-blooded, and what he did was chilling. Although this matter can cover up the ruthless truth in the name of "to complete the mission", this is by no means a reason for him to forgive himself!

Under the condemnation of his conscience, Xia Xianlong walked up to Durban and knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry, Uncle Durban." It's me who didn't think it through. I'm sorry for you. ”

Durban stretched out his hand to help Xia Xianlong, shook his head and said, "No." The day we became hermits, we had already dedicated everything to the hermit organization, including our lives and families. No matter how big the sacrifice, we have no regrets. It is a great favor to us that you can come back to save us. So, you don't have to apologize. We should thank you. ”

After saying that, Durban suddenly fell to his knees, and the other members of the hermit also knelt down. Durban said solemnly: "There is no way to repay the great kindness, only to thank the prime minister!"

The two said "I can't do it" and hurriedly went to help Durban and others. However, Durban persevered, meticulously kowtowing three heads before he was willing to get up.

Hua Ziyu walked over and said, "Don't be busy thanking you first. The most important thing at the moment is to quickly find a way to clean up the Dushant mess. ”

Wang Xiaotian patted his head, "That's right." What can we do about this? Well, Uncle Durban, all three of us are outsiders, and even more so amateurs in managing the city. Do you have any ideas?"

Durban thought for a moment and said, "Right now, I think the most important thing is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible." ”

Hua Ziyu nodded and said, "That's right." However, our power is limited. ”

"These soldiers are available," said Durban. They were all natives of Dushante, and they followed the previous city lord, just to eat. If you show them favor, they will surely be willing to serve. ”

"In addition, our identities have been exposed, and we need to react to our superiors as soon as possible and wait for orders from our superiors. However, before the order from the higher authorities comes, we can also help. ”

Hua Ziyu looked at Wang Xiaotian. But seeing Wang Xiaotian's blank face, he asked, "Xiaotian, what do you think?"

Wang Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm a complete layman. If you think it's feasible, I'm okay. ”

Hua Ziyu said: "Since you, the city lord, have agreed, then do so." Uncle Duerban, I'm sorry for you to worry about this. ”

Turban was a little embarrassed. However, he looked at Wang Xiaotian, who still had a little immaturity on his face, didn't say anything, and nodded in response.

Then, he said: "In addition, we must issue a notice to the people of the city to let the people in the city know that the city lord has been replaced." The situation has stabilized, so let's not panic. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "This is no problem." By the way, on the way here just now, I saw a lot of people taking advantage of the fire to rob and commit adulterers. Uncle Duerban, please hurry up and arrange for our people, as well as those soldiers, to go separately to maintain law and order, and if you find any traitors, you will ...... immediately."

He wanted to say that he would be killed immediately, but considering that these soldiers may not be reliable, if they take the opportunity to oppress the people, then all the resentment of the people will fall on him. So, he said: "Immediately detained, and when the day comes, they will be interrogated one by one and convicted." ”

Durban immediately agreed, and then summoned his subordinates and assigned tasks. These subordinates first explained to the soldiers that the new city lord was ready to retain them to see the after-effects. The soldiers were naturally overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Immediately after, the subordinates regrouped the soldiers, each led a team, and patrolled the city, shouting as they patrolled, "On the orders of the new city lord, the curfew will be implemented immediately." Everyone immediately returned home and was not allowed to go out until dawn. Anyone who wanders the streets is arrested pending trial. ”

Soon, in front of the entire city lord's mansion, only Wang Xiaotian, Hua Ziyu, Xia Xianlong, and Uncle Durban were left.

Hua Ziyu looked at the messy City Lord's Mansion inside, and said to Wang Xiaotian: "It's too chaotic here, let's go back to the inn first." ”

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Don't you want to see the appearance of the former city lord of the emir leaving in a gray manner?"

Hua Ziyu shook his head and said, "Why stay here to watch his jokes? People in the rivers and lakes, there is always a time to memorize words, today you fall into the well for others, and others will do the same to you in the future." ”

Xia Xianlong said: "Just left, aren't you worried that he will take the opportunity to entangle the rest and take advantage of our unpreparedness to counterattack?"

Wang Xiaotian pointed to the sky, "I have been prepared for a long time, and I have arranged the strictest monitoring to keep an eye on his every move." ”

Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong suddenly realized. When Wang Xiaotian said surveillance, he must be referring to that steel behemoth. They were immediately relieved at the thought of the infinite power of the orange fire dragon it was shooting.

The four of them returned to the inn, Wang Xiaotian first helped the three of them bandage their wounds, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, until the third pole of the sun, Wang Xiaotian woke up naturally. He washed up, walked out of the room slowly, and saw the innkeeper trotting all the way over.

The boss ran to Wang Xiaotian and bowed very respectfully, "Oh, the villain just found out that you are the new city lord, so you are really lazy." ”

Although this inn has always worked closely with the Yu Firm, it does not essentially belong to the hermit organization, nor is it a peripheral member of it. So, a lot of their things are kept secret from this boss.

Wang Xiaotian smiled and said, "There is no slacking. It feels good to stay with you. ”

The boss smiled and said, "It's good if you're satisfied." There are a few things that have been prepared in the private room in front of you, and the breakfast is passable, so please enjoy your face and taste it. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded and asked, "What about Professor Hua and Teacher Xia, as well as Uncle Duerban?"

The boss said, "They've been waiting there for a long time." ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Then why didn't you wake me up earlier." ”

The boss smiled again: "You are the lord of a city. In Dushante, you are the biggest. You didn't wake up, who would dare to disturb?"

Wang Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this. No wonder everyone wants to be a big official? When a big official doesn't say anything, and is still obeyed by people everywhere, how can he be uncomfortable? Those big officials are arrogant, arrogant, and lascivious, and they are all used to being out of these people's habits, right?

Thinking of this, he was not impressed by the enthusiasm of the boss at all. Quicken your pace and walk towards the private room.

The boss also noticed Wang Xiaotian's mood change, and he was both apprehensive and surprised. He couldn't figure it out, what he said was wrong, which made Wang Xiaotian unhappy?

When I entered the private room, I saw three people sitting at the table, but they didn't move their chopsticks. Wang Xiaotian suddenly apologized, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I've waited for you for a long time." I didn't know if you would have waited for me to eat with me, or you wouldn't have slept until this time. ”

The three stood up to greet them. Hua Ziyu stretched out her hand and invited Wang Xiaotian to sit on the main seat, and said, "Wait for you." If it weren't for you for yesterday's incident, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have the opportunity to sit together. ”

"That's right. My old man's life, thanks to the city lord, you can save it. Let me be here, what is the point of waiting for the city lord to eat? No matter how you want to express your gratitude, you should be. ”

Wang Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The two seniors have tormented me. I'm just lucky. If it weren't for Professor Hua's fight with the Emir first, which led him to use a trick, I discovered the flaw. The first time I faced him, I might not win. ”

Wang Xiaotian's words complimented Hua Ziyu from the side.

Hearing Wang Xiaotian say this, Hua Ziyu's heart was much more comfortable. At the same time, it also made Hua Ziyu feel that her defeat was not due to lack of strength, but because she faced Emir's strange scimitar for the first time and did not take enough precautions.

In fact, even if Hua Ziyu had enough defense, she could only block Emir's attack, and it was impossible to defeat him. Because the Emir's flaw is in the wrist, and the wrist has a bracer with incredible defensive power.

Without sword intent, Hua Ziyu's strength can't pierce Emir's wrist at all, how can he defeat him?

Wang Xiaotian picked up a baked bun and asked while eating, "Uncle, has order been restored in the city now?"

Durban ate the mutton dough and replied, "They came to report just now, and now they have basically recovered." They are counting last night's losses. In addition, the butler of the City Lord's Mansion came just now, saying that before the former City Lord Emir left, he specially ordered him to stay, register the property of the City Lord's Mansion, and give it to you for your attention. He's working on it right now, and it's going to take about two days to complete. Please be patient. ”

Wang Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "Two days, how many things are in the City Lord's Mansion, and it will take so long?"

"According to the butler, the emir took only some money and food, clothing, and the belongings of his family. Over the years, he has collected all the treasures, and he has left them all to you. ”

Wang Xiaotian stopped chewing, thought for a moment, and said, "I only need to use a room in the City Lord's Mansion to rest." All other valuable things, after the housekeeper has counted them, all of them are sealed and sealed. ”

Durban exchanged glances with Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong, and said, "Emir has been a city lord for more than ten years, has collected countless amounts of money, and has also collected countless treasures of great value, don't you want any of them?"

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I don't want to." If it weren't for the fact that the emir would surely make a comeback with the support of the Canaanite Federation, I would have distributed all the gold and silver treasures he had collected to the common people. ”

Xia Xianlong said: "Then why don't you divide it now? If you do this, won't the people be grateful to you? We can also quickly establish a firm foundation in Dushant." ”

Wang Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Because, I don't know Master's intentions. He's an old man, and he probably doesn't want us to occupy this place. If we need to evacuate, we will harm the people by distributing the gold and silver treasures. ”

Xia Xianlong snorted and said, "What's wrong with fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields?"
