Chapter 898: The People's Heart
"When will the support given to you in the city arrive?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and felt that it was not a wise move to go to Mingyuan City so recklessly.
"Looking at the direction of their activities, I can't count on them in a short time. Huang Yuchen said: "It may be until we take Mingyuan City that they can all arrive." ”
When Zhuang Lexian heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Then what should I do? Send someone to find out the bottom first?"
After Zhuang Lexian finished saying this, the eyes of the two of them and Huang Yuchen turned to the shadow in unison.
If you want to travel back and forth between Kang City and Mingyuan City in a short time, the most suitable candidates are Shadow and Su Rong, and the two can easily hide their whereabouts.
Rapid Shadow looked at Huang Yuchen, his face did not change much, and he said softly: "I can do this, two hundred miles away plus espionage intelligence, Su Rong and I can go back and forth in three days." ”
"If the speed is faster, it should be able to catch up with Fan Liao when he leads people into the city. Zhuang Lexian said: "Just to see what kind of attitude this Shi Fei has towards Fan Liao, we can start later." ”
And at this moment, Su Rong's figure appeared quietly in the courtyard, silently, Huang Yuchen was the first to discover Su Rong's figure, and asked her with a smile: "Senior, I'm sorry for your trip." ”
Su Rong didn't speak, just nodded slightly, paused, and asked, "Killing?"
Huang Yuchen immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't kill, don't kill, don't kill anyone, I just need to know the situation and distribution of forces in Mingyuan City, Shi Fei is a person and the number of masters in the city." ”
Hearing this, Su Rong nodded, and then looked at the shadow. Jiying and Su Rong glanced at each other, immediately got up, turned to Huang Yuchen and said, "Three days later, we will meet in the City Lord's Mansion. ”
After speaking, the figures of Jiying and Su Rong quickly disappeared, and the speed was extremely fast.
Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai, who were watching from the side, were a little stunned, but they didn't expect these two to leave as soon as they said they wouldn't ask a word of superfluous words.
"Tomorrow morning, they should be able to reach Mingyuan City. Huang Yuchen said to Zhuang Lexian: "After learning about the situation inside, we will decide how to act." ”
"Then we're all leaving, can you do it yourself?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Yin Cai on the side and said, "Can he protect you by himself." Your identity has been revealed, and since Fan Liao can know that you are in Ekang City, others must also know. ”
"If they send someone to find you in advance, killing you is the easiest way to do it. ”
Huang Yuchen smiled lightly when he heard this, and said, "With Yin Cai and forty breeders here, it is impossible for ordinary martial artists to kill me, unless it is a venerable." Huang Yuchen said, taking out his transparent long sword from the gate of time and space, and looked at Zhuang Lexian.
"Besides, I can't run if I can't beat me? I'm a man of the Space-Time Gate. Huang Yuchen checked the formation spells in the long sword, and found that the spells were relatively stable, so he threw the long sword into it again.
By opening and closing the door of time and space many times, Huang Yuchen has become very proficient in this process, and can basically move as he likes, and the gate of time and space does not appear in a fixed place, but can appear anywhere around him.
This greatly improves the efficiency of the use of the gate of time and space, with this kind of thing in hand, there are really not many people who can kill Huang Yuchen.
"Anyway, after we're gone, you just have to be careful. Zhuang Lexian said: "Those two teleporters don't necessarily care about your life. ”
"Well, let's not talk about that. Huang Yuchen said softly: "Instead of worrying about these, it is better to think about how to rectify the city, during the war, this city cannot always be a paradise, in the future, when we leave here, Wang Junliang will inevitably follow, the last barrier of the city will be broken, and it will immediately become a borderless land, what will the people here do." ”
"You don't have anyone and no soldiers now, and it's impossible to defend the city. Zhuang Lexian said: "There are only forty feeders you can use, no matter how powerful they are, after all, the number of people is limited, and now what you should worry about the most is not Mingyuan City, but Xiwangfu." ”
Huang Yuchen chuckled and nodded, but he didn't take this matter to heart in his heart, he had an instantaneous person like Shadow Surong by his side, plus Yin Cai and forty feeders, there were not many people who could pose a threat to him in this world.
"Okay, go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look, this small courtyard is temporarily kept, and it may still be useful in the future. Huang Yuchen stood up, looked at Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai behind him, and walked straight out of the small courtyard.
Huang Yuchen now knows the situation of Ekang City well, and at this moment he has completely recovered Ekang City, but such a small city is sparsely populated, and the nearby villages and towns have almost been looted, Huang Yuchen has an idea in his mind, but now is not the time to implement it.
The population of the surrounding villages and towns is not one in ten, and most of the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, Huang Yuchen wants to move all these people into Ekang City, in the city, at least their lives can be guaranteed, but now Huang Yuchen really does not have enough people in his hands to do this, and Fan Liao took away a large amount of grain in the city when he left, if all the surrounding people move in, it may also cause a food crisis in Ekang City.
However, the situation here is definitely much better than that of the imperial capital, this year is a good harvest year, and only the imperial capital has missed the agricultural time due to the war, which interrupted the trade routes, so it may cause famine. Although the rest of the world is also changing, and the grain, grass and population are the root of the grabbing by all forces, it has not yet reached the point of starving to death.
It is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. Huang Yuchen must now think of a way to achieve long-term peace and stability, and after taking the surrounding cities, he can use the fastest time to establish the prestige of the Prayer Heaven Empire again, so that the people have a sense of attachment, and avoid such things as possible in the future.
Although he was very relaxed in front of Zhuang Lexian and others, the pressure in it was only known to Huang Yuchen himself, things had come to this point, and he was no longer representing himself, but representing the entire Qitian Empire, representing the new imperial power of the Qitian Empire, and representing the entire Dongwang Mansion, if Huang Yuchen failed, it would mean the defeat of his eldest brother Huang Yuanwu, and it would also mean the failure of the entire Dongwang Mansion.
Therefore, when Huang Yuchen was doing this, he had to think carefully, otherwise he would not have arranged for Jiying and Su Rong to go to Mingyuan City first, according to his previous way of doing things, he could directly let Zhuang Lexian take the giant to Mingyuan City, with Zhuang Lexian's temper and the giant's combat power, it would definitely cause great oppression to everyone in Mingyuan City.
It's just that although this is easy, it is not the best way to win the hearts and minds of the people. He didn't want him to completely use force to recover the lost land of Qitian, nor did he want the people to feel that the new Qitian Dynasty was a dynasty dominated by force of suppression, and such rights could not be stabilized.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the original snow has been swept away, revealing the bluestone road below, a group of people are busy in the square in front of the door, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion has also been completely cleared, and two majestic stone lions are squatting in front of the City Lord's Mansion, stealing an indescribable majesty.
Huang Yuchen saw the two stone lions frowning slightly, he suddenly knew why Fan Liao didn't want to live in the City Lord's Mansion at the beginning, the Martial Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion were only one of the reasons, this City Lord's Mansion looked like a strange majesty, which was incompatible with the state of the people in Ekang City, and if he lived here for a long time, he would also be estranged from the people.
"Big man, these two stones at the door, help me throw them. Huang Yuchen pointed to the two stone lions at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, whispered to the giant, and then ignored them and went straight into the City Lord's Mansion.
When the giant heard Huang Yuchen's words, he stepped forward directly, and the stone that was tall enough for one person was like carrying a duck under his hands, and he picked up the two stone lions at the door with an extremely easy hand, and slowly walked to the corner of the city lord's mansion, and the people who were still in a pile of debris and watched the people working in the square were stunned, and they were also afraid of this giant who was more than a foot tall.
Huang Yuchen walked into the City Lord's Mansion and saw Wang Junliang and Pang Qi head-on, Pang Qi was directing the people to clean the courtyard, and Wang Junliang was standing in front of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, not knowing what to think again.
The city lord's mansion has almost been cleaned up, and the snow that was originally piled up has been gathered together and ready to be pushed out; this time, Pang Qi gathered more than 100 people, and it was very quick and efficient to sit up.
Huang Yuchen slowly walked to Pang Qi's side and said softly: "Old Pang, it's hard work. ”
Pang Qi didn't expect Huang Yuchen to come, and when he heard Huang Yuchen's voice, he immediately turned around, and when he saw that it was Huang Yuchen, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My lord is serious, this is what the old man should do." ”
"I looked at the two stone lions at the door and let the big man throw them. Huang Yuchen said to Pang Qi: "I think I still have to talk to Pang Lao." ”
"Adults don't have to. Pang Qi was a little flattered and said, "This is the adult's Ekang City, not the decrepit Ekang City." ”
Huang Yuchen smiled slightly, and said: "Old Pang said that he laughed, this is not the city of the younger generation, but the hometown of the seniors, and the city lord is not here to be a blessing, but should be for the benefit of this place." Oppressing the people with the fears of others should not be what a dynasty should be. ”
When Pang Qi heard this, he bowed deeply to Huang Yuchen and didn't say a word, but it was obvious that Huang Yuchen's purpose had been achieved.
What people want to see is a bright future, not a gloomy tomorrow. Although the city of Ekang is in the heart, it depends on the yearning for the empire that is common in the hearts of the people of Ekangcheng, not the merits of his emperor Yuchen. The current Huang Yuchen must show a clear attitude to completely dispel the worries of the entire people in Ekang City.
He asked the giant to throw away the two stone lions at the doorway, and that was the beginning of this step.
