Chapter 118
"No wonder those city lords are vying to slap me, it turns out that Long'er still has such power in his hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info However, isn't it five cities, then there should be five city lords, why are there only four of them?" Zhuge Qingshan asked puzzled.
"The lord of Tai'an City is a rebel and has absconded in fear of sin. Now there is no city lord in Tai'an City, and if my father wants to, he can go to Tai'an City to be the city lord. ā
"Hehe, that relationship is good, in that case, as a father, you can give your mother a good life. Your mother has been married to her father for 17 years, and she has not had a good life, and your grandfather died early, and she has no support from her mother's family, so she has a hard life, and she is sorry for your mother. Zhuge Qingshan said sentimentally.
"Father, these dragons know that you and your mother have suffered a lot over the years, after all, you can't make a fortune hunting, otherwise we wouldn't live in a stone house. Now it's okay, our hard days have passed, what do we want in the future, when my father's leg is cured, you and your mother will go to Tai'an City and become the city lord. Yun Fei thought of the hardships that Zhuge Qingshan and the Li family had endured over the years, his eyes were red again, and tears were rolling in them.
"Okay, my father also went to Tai'an City to live a city lord addiction, hahaha" Zhuge Qingshan is just an ordinary person, he also has **, and he also has ambitions, but he didn't have the ability to realize it before. Now that there is a ready-made city lord, of course he will not refuse. "Long'er, my father's health is very good, when do you think I will treat my father?" Zhuge Qingshan couldn't wait for his legs to get better soon, so that he could be the city lord, otherwise a paralyzed city lord, how could he see people?
"Father's body can be recuperated for another day or two, and at noon the day after tomorrow, Long'er will treat his father. Yun Fei thought for a while, and said after checking Zhuge Qingshan's physical condition. "Father, you can rest, Long'er went out and had a few words to say to General Cai Jing, which will also facilitate you to be the city lord in the future and do a solid and down-to-earth job. ā
"Well, if Long'er has something to do, go away, don't worry about being a father, think about it for yourself, and see how to govern a city in the future. "Zhuge Qingshan really saw the wind and rain, and he didn't become the city lord yet, so he thought about how to govern the city.
A city lord who prepares for a rainy day must be a good city lord!
This sentence was vividly reflected in Zhuge Qingshan in the future.
Yun Fei got down the small building, came to the door, looked at Cai Jing who was standing straight, and said, "General Cai, please come in." ā
As soon as Cai Jing heard that Zhen Guogong was calling him, he immediately said, "My subordinates are here, what do you command?"
"Come in and talk about it!"
Entering the hall, Yun Fei sat on the main seat, and Cai Jing stood below. "General Cai has worked hard, please take a seat. ā
"Thank you, sir!"
At this time, a little maid brought tea and said timidly, "Adults, please use tea." "This little maid was also sent by the city lords to serve Zhuge Qingshan and his wife.
Yun Fei drank tea and asked, "General Cai came here, firstly, because he was ordered by your city lord to protect my parents, and secondly, to wait for me, right?"
Cai Jing nodded, and said in his heart: "Lord Zhenguo Gong is not only a profound cultivator, but he even knows what others think, and he is worthy of being the youngest genius in Great Qin." ā
"The news of my return, you have already told your city lord, right? Then you can send a message and ask your city lord to call the city lords of the other three cities over, I have something to say. Yun Fei said casually.
Cai Jing was taken aback, "How would my lord know that I had sent the Flying Eagle back to report the news?" Cai Jing thought to himself. "Your Excellency is wise, and your subordinates will summon you back. Cai Jing said, and took out a black bird that was not much bigger than a fist, this bird was the Flying Eagle, which was a common communication tool on the mainland. Cai Jing wrote Yun Fei's words on a thin strip and tied them to the legs of the flying eagle, and the flying eagle flapped its wings and flew away.
"General Cai is the deputy commander of the city guard army in Fengcheng, is he interested in going to Tai'an City to be the commander of the city guard?" asked Yun Fei.
Cai Jing didn't understand what Yunfei meant!
"My father wants to be the lord of Tai'an City, is General Cai willing to help my father?" Yun Fei said this, and Cai Jing finally understood.
Cai Jing was full of excitement, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your promotion, Cai Jing is willing to go to the soup and do his best." "Cai Jing doesn't know that this is Yunfei promoting him. From the deputy commander of the city guard army to the commander of the city guard army, it seems that he has not been promoted to any official, but one side is a small city lord, and the other side is the father of the lord of the town country, there is a world of difference. It can be said that as long as Cai Jing is a squad leader under Zhuge Qingshan, it is far better than being a deputy commander in Fengcheng. With the logo of the Zhuge family on his body, who will dare to provoke him in the future? Doing things for the father of Zhenguo Gong, it is difficult to think of Huang Tengda. So in an instant, Cai Jing knew how to choose, he was really glad that this time it was a wise move to squeeze his head to win over the parents who were guarding Yunfei here, look, the reward is coming.
"Well, if you want, it's fine, if you don't want I'll have to find someone else. However, you, a great warrior in the early ninth stage, still have to step up your cultivation, otherwise you can't afford to be responsible for the security of a city. Yunfei said. A great samurai at the beginning of the ninth rank can only barely be regarded as a master, but it is indeed not enough to take charge of the safety of a city. However, what if this city belongs to who has eaten the ambition leopard and dares to make trouble within the jurisdiction of the lord of the town and the innate powerhouse?
"Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates will not dare to slack off, and they will work hard to cultivate and absolutely guarantee the safety of Tai'an City. Cai Jing said loyally.
With Yunfei's current cultivation and eyesight, the art of observing people is still good. He saw that Cai Jing was still a usable person, although his cultivation was a little worse, he still had the heart to promote him, after all, Zhuge Qingshan wanted to be the city lord, it was impossible not to have a reliable person in his hands.
"Okay, you take this, find a place where no one is around, and you should be able to advance to the peak of the ninth level. Yun Fei took out a fragrant fruit and said. The fruit of the innate vine rose, there are nine in total, Yunfei and Xiaohuo, the three ghosts, and one for Jin Zilan, and now there are three left. Taking one for Cai Jing and letting him break through is also a means to buy him, so that he can concentrate on doing things for Zhuge Qingshan in the future. There are still two, Yunfei plans to give one to Zhuge Qingshan, and the other one doesn't know who it will give it to.
Of course, Cai Jing didn't know what the Innate Vine Fruit was, but when he heard Yun Fei say that it could allow him to break through to the peak of the ninth level, he knew that it was definitely a good thing, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was worth a lot. A fruit can make a great samurai in the early stage of the ninth level advance to the peak of the ninth level, can its value be measured by money?
Plopped, Cai Jing knelt down on his knees again, "Thank you for your cultivation, Cai Jing swears here that he will be loyal to the adults and the Zhuge family, and he will never dare to have two hearts, if there is betrayal, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." At this point, Cai Jing has truly returned to the Zhuge family.
"Long'er, come and eat. Lee's voice rang out, and it was time for lunch. Yun Fei got up and asked Cai Jing to go out to see if the city lords were coming, and he went upstairs to reunite with his family.
Yunfei's family was reunited, there were no outsiders, only Zhuge Qingshan, the Li family and Yunfei. The dishes are also hearty, all of which Yunfei likes to eat, which shows that the Li family is attentive. Children are treasures in the hands of their parents, even if he becomes a family and a business, even if he becomes an official and makes a fortune, but in the eyes of his parents, he is still a child.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
A family feast, eaten for an hour. As soon as he finished eating, Cai Jing came in to report that the four city lords had arrived.
Yunfei's territory is the five cities around Lijia Village, and now the eastern clear sky of Tai'an City has escaped, and only four city lords are left. The five cities are Tai'an City, Fengcheng, Yingcheng, Dayang City and Liyuan City.
Lijia Village is now full of people, crowded, and there are no less than 3,000 people. How could so many people stay in the small Lijia Village, so Yun Fei ordered that the redundant soldiers be stationed outside the village, and the four city lords could only enter the Lijia Village with their guards.
The four major city lords gathered together and greeted Yun Fei one after another, and the flattery on their faces couldn't be more obvious. It's no wonder that now Yun Fei is in his hands, but he has their future in his hands. Yun Fei's words can allow you to continue to be the lord of the city, enjoy the glory, and be powerful, and it can also make you roll off the stage and have nothing. Therefore, they are trying their best to please them, and they all want to keep the position of the city lord, or go further.
"Lord Zhenguogong, his subordinates are the city lords of Fengcheng, I wonder if my lords are still satisfied with the houses built by their subordinates without authorization?" said a middle-aged man with a big belly and a red face. Rong Bu was wearing a wide city lord official uniform, and he couldn't hide his huge belly, it seemed that his life was quite nourishing, otherwise he wouldn't be so fat.
Fengcheng is a big city, second only to Tai'an City, the economy is prosperous, the people are rich, Rongbu has been the city lord for several years, and has already reaped a lot of benefits, and it is inevitable to get lucky.
Yun Fei looked at the fat man in front of him, smiling so much that his eyes were almost invisible, and he didn't have much affection. "Lord Rong has come from afar, hard work, please take a seat. Yun Fei said tepidly, unable to see joy and sorrow.
Rong Bucheng sat down in fear.
The second city lord is called Xiju, who is the city lord of Yingcheng. This person is more than eight feet tall and has a burly physique, he is a military general, and he has the cultivation of a mid-ninth level samurai. Xiju doesn't like to talk much, and after seeing Yunfei, he just reported his name and origin, and sat next to Rongbu after speaking.
Everyone sweated for Xiju, and said in their hearts that the first time I saw Lord Zhenguo, you also looked like you were going to die, it seems that your position as the city lord has come to an end.
The third was the city lord of Dayang City, an old man with gray hair named Qi Hu. After seeing Yun Fei, Shi Li, who was hunched over, said: "The villain Qi Hu has seen the adult, and the adult is really young and promising, which makes the villain embarrassed." ā
Yun Fei saw that the person who came was an old man, so he was a lot more polite. "Boss, please take a seat, I'm a junior, how can He De receive the great gift of the boss. ā
The last one was the city lord who left the original city, named Su Kang, but a lean young man, no five city lords sat in the hall, and outside were the personal guards of the city lords, who guarded the gate to the death, not to let outsiders disturb them. Because most of the villagers of Lijia Village gathered outside, they all straightened their necks and wanted to see the excitement. Although high-ranking officials and nobles have come to visit from time to time in recent times, it can't reduce their curiosity. The villagers who have lived here for generations have never seen so many outsiders, and they are not ordinary people, they are all unattainable city lords.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry to invite you here today. Yunfei said. "It's just that I invite you to come, it's not that it's okay, but there is something important to discuss. ā
"Lord Zhenguo is polite, we are your subordinates, and it is right to be dispatched. It's just that I don't know why the adults let us come?" Rong Bu asked with a smile in the shape of a Maitreya Buddha.
"yes, yes, I wonder what the adults asked us to do?" the other two asked, only Xiju sat there without speaking.
Yun Feixin said that you really don't know or pretend to be confused, let you come, of course, to take over the matter of the five cities, do you still want to shirk it? Now I am the lord, if I want you to continue to be the city lord, let you continue to do it, I don't want you to continue to do it, it's not just a roll and a cover.
Of course, it was impossible for Yun Fei to say this, and it would be difficult for him to offend these city lords, because he had no one to use. Drove them all away, what about five cities and tens of millions of people?
"Since you don't know, I'll make it clear. Yunfei decided to see the door and told him calmly. "As you all know, Your Majesty has included the five cities of Tai'an and other cities in my territory, so in other words, these five cities are my personal belongings. Since it's my personal belongings, I can do whatever I want, but I consider that you have made a lot of contributions to the city, so I plan to let you discuss it, what should I do?" Yun Fei said everything about this, if they pretended to be confused again, Yun Fei would really beat someone.
Yunfei means that these five cities are all mine, what are you going to do? Do you want to follow me and continue to be the city lord or do you choose another wood to rest?
The four of them can achieve the position of city lord, of course, they are not stupid, and they all know where to go. "My lord, we are willing to follow you, help you manage the city well, and be willing to be a pawn, and dare not have two hearts. At that moment, everyone said.
"Oh, since you're all willing to do things for me, I can't ask for it. However, Yun Fei changed his words, deliberately prolonged his voice and did not continue, which made the hearts of the four people below tighten.
"If you have anything to say, don't procrastinate, it's not a man's doing. Xiju, who rarely spoke, spoke.
"Gurgle", Rong Bu and the others all beat faster, as if they were the ones who were disrespectful to Yunfei. "How can a fool talk to an adult like that?" they thought to themselves.
Yun Fei listened to Xi Ju's words, and then began to face up to the "Lord Xie's love, Xi Ju must live up to the trust of the adult, and must manage Yingcheng in an orderly and prosperous manner." Xiju stood up and bowed down. "It's just that Yingcheng is close to the southern border, and barbarians often invade, so the military budget and materials are a little tight, and I hope that the adults will be able to solve these difficulties. "As soon as we met, I asked Yunfei for money and things, this Xiju's courage is not ordinary.
Yun Fei knew that south of the southern border, there were some forest indigenous tribes, who were collectively known as barbarians. The barbarians are economically backward, the agriculture is underdeveloped, and the barbarians are particularly able to eat, so there are often famines. Therefore, they set their sights on Daqin, often harassing the southern border of Daqin, making the huge southern region restless, and the people miserable. The barbarian ox is tall and powerful, and it is very difficult to deal with, and the defenders of Great Qin often suffer losses. His Majesty took these into account, so he sent such a military general as Xiju to serve as the lord of Yingcheng, and under the leadership of Xiju, the situation has only improved somewhat, but there is a lack of materials and military funds.
"Okay, there is no problem with materials and military spending, as long as you hold the south firmly, you will give you what you want. Yunfei said. Rong Bu and the others didn't expect that Xiju actually asked Yunfei for money and things and succeeded, and they all sighed that Xiju was lucky. If you meet other lords, you may be removed from your post and investigated, under the pretext that your ability is limited and you neglect your duties. A city lord who can't even raise military expenses and supplies is indeed limited in his ability.
It's just that Yun Fei's next words made them change their opinion of Yun Fei, they no longer said that Yun Fei was good as a lord, but gritted their teeth and hated it.
"Military expenses and supplies will be jointly raised by your three cities plus Tai'an City. Yunfei added.
"What? materials and military expenses are going to be raised for us?" Rong Bu and the others almost didn't go berserk, but they didn't dare to refuse, and reluctantly said: "Yes, yes, yes." ā
"As I said, I promised you to continue to work for me. However, after agreeing, I hope that you all do things well, don't be perfunctory and sloppy, otherwise, it will be like this cup. "Yunfei is going to stand up. I saw Yun Fei holding a large teacup in his hand, made of pure gold, extremely hard. But after a flash of golden light, the golden cup turned into a ball of powder. Yun Fei blew lightly, and the gold dust completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Hiss" Everyone gasped, especially Xiju, who was a military general, because he knew how difficult it was to do this. "This is the horror of the innate powerhouse?" said Xi Ju secretly.
"My lord is angry, how dare we disobey the yang and the yin, and perfunctory. We are willing to do our best to manage the city for the adults and eliminate the worries of the adults. "And immediately they professed their faithfulness,
"Well, since you are willing to serve, then I will not treat you badly, and every year I will reward you richly, and do more good. Announce one, except for Yingcheng, the other four cities only pay one-third of the tax every year, and the rest of you continue to develop the strength of the city, is this okay?" Yunfei changed His Majesty's previous policy of paying two-thirds, allowing them to have more money to develop, but also giving them more opportunities to earn black money.
"However, you must not embezzle that money, if I find out, you should know the consequences, so I don't need to repeat it. Yun Fei said coldly.
Originally, some of them were planning to make black money, but after listening to Yun Fei's cold warning, they completely dispelled this idea.
"My lord, it is rumored that the city lord of Tai'an City has absconded in fear of sin, what is the position of the city lord?" Qi Hu asked.
"There are already good candidates for this, you don't have to be careful. Yun Fei was a little afraid to say it, thinking that there was a suspicion of cronyism, but on the other hand, Tai'an City is his own, so who should be the city lord to report to them?" "The city lord of Tai'an City is my father Zhuge Qingshan, what objections do you have?"
"Zhuge Qingshan, isn't that Zhuge Yunfei's father?" Thinking of this, everyone had no objections, and said one after another: "There is no objection, it is most appropriate for Master Zhuge to take the responsibility." ā
"Since there is no objection, then you have to help my father, who has no experience and is not familiar with management, it all depends on you. ā
"Okay, okay. "Rong Bu is about to start scolding, and if you have no experience, you still want your father to be the city lord?
"Okay, that's pretty much it, I hope you go back and do your job well, and don't let me down. Yunfei felt that it was almost enough, so he issued an eviction order.
"Okay, my lord, you're busy, I'll retire. Rong Bu and the others got up and prepared to leave Lijia Village and go back to their respective cities.
"By the way, Lord Rong, your deputy commander of the city guard army will follow me in the future, you won't have an opinion, right?" Rong Bu was about to leave Lijia Village, and Yun Fei's voice rang out, almost making Rong Bu vomit blood.
Don't dig the foot of the wall like this!
"Who the adults want, the subordinates have no opinion. Rong Bu said weakly, and I don't know if Yunfei heard it.
After the four city lords left, Yun Fei was a lot more relaxed, and the top priority was to treat Zhuge Qingshan's leg disease.
Yunfei returned home, just like the prodigal son found a home, facing those two most familiar faces all day long, and his ordinary life was exactly the same as before. It's just that too much has changed, Yunfei's cultivation has skyrocketed, Zhuge Qingshan is paralyzed in bed, and the stone house has become a two-story small building. However, the feeling of home has not faded at all, but has become more and more intense.
Although Zhuge Qingshan was paralyzed in bed, the return of his precious son brought one good news after another, and his spirit and body suddenly improved, if he couldn't get out of bed and walk, he would be no different from a normal person.
In the past two days, the Li family has completely resumed the role of a housewife, and all the food and shelter are personally held, so that the maids below feel that they have nothing to do. The busiest woman, especially the one who is busy with her husband and children, is the happiest woman, and Lee has deeply realized this.
At noon on the third day, a rare round of warm winter sun appeared in the sky, and Yun Fei knew that it was time to treat his father's leg disease. After two or three days of cultivation, Zhuge Qingshan has improved, his face is ruddy, and his body is also full of vitality. After being paralyzed in bed for a long time and not seeing the sun, Zhuge Qingshan's body is full of yin energy, and the blood in the paralyzed legs is not circulating, and the power of masculinity has been lost, and he needs to use the radiation of the warm sun to drive away the yin energy.
A city guard soldier came in and carried Zhuge Qingshan to the backyard. Yunfei's current home has a small garden at the back, which shows that Rongbu used his heart and wanted to please Yunfei as much as possible.
Yun Fei instructed Cai Jing to let him lead his soldiers to guard the gate strictly, and no one could come in without his order. Cai Jing had just received Yunfei's great favor, and he was worried that he had nothing to reciprocate, so he dared to be careless, and immediately took two or three hundred city guards to surround the entire mansion to death, even a fly would not want to fly over.
Three o'clock in the afternoon had arrived, and it was the time of the day when the yang energy was at its peak, and Yun Fei knew that the best time had come. Yun Fei opened the titanium radium box and carefully took out the resurrection pill inside. "Father, take it, and then don't care about anything, the dragon will protect the Dharma for you. ā
Zhuge Qingshan has no reason to oppose it, he can't wait for it, and he does what he says at the moment. As soon as the resurrection pill entered Zhuge Qingshan's mouth, it immediately turned into a warm current and slowly flowed into Zhuge Qingshan's stomach. Zhuge Qingshan hadn't reacted yet, and the Resurrection Pill had already disappeared without a trace.
