Chapter 262: Recruit Wang Li as the City Lord
But when it became quiet here, Yao Ruoyu suddenly smiled: "A lifelong slave? You are a slave to me in the six realms. Wouldn't I feel like a light on my back all day?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, slashed it with one sword, and directly cut Emperor Li Zhen's head to the ground.
As the Sixth Realm, Emperor Li Zhen should not have been killed so easily, but when he surrendered, he had already taken the initiative to disperse all his strength, and he had no time to resist at this moment. From ancient times to the present, he should have been the first Sixth Realm sect general to die at the hands of the Fourth Realm.
When everyone was shocked when they saw Emperor Zhen’s death, they were shocked. However, without waiting for their persuasion, Yao Ruoyu flashed and killed Li Tianyang and three fifth-level swordsmen of the Sword-Building Sect on the spot.
After killing four people in a row, Yao Ruoyu's movements stopped. However, the remaining Xixia prisoners were so scared that their faces were pale. A few people even had shit and urine, and they were convulsing like spasms.
After silently retracting the sword and returning to the sheath, Yao Ruoyu said coldly: "The First Army Town obeys the order and detains the remaining Xixia people in prison. The evil has been killed, and there is no need to kill them all. It is just that the death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty is difficult to spare. It will be dealt with in three days."
Yang Renjie and others were stunned for a while before reacting, quickly clasped their fists and said yes, and then led the troops to raise all the remaining Xixia people and take them to the prison of Diaoyu City.
"The prince is too determined to kill," until this moment, Wang Li sighed, "It is not easy to practice. Since Emperor Zhendi and others have surrendered, why not accept it patiently and turn it into their own forces."
Yao Ruoyu turned to look at him and laughed: "Sir, since he is dissatisfied, why didn't he say it before?"
Wang Li shook his head and said, "After all, it's a city-state matter, so it's hard for Wang to get in casually."
After patting the scabbard, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Haha, Li Zhendi and others are ambitions. I will still be shocked when I am there. If something happens to me in the future, who can suppress them?"
Wang Li frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously not understanding Yao Ruoyu's answer. However, seeing that he looked calm, Wang Li couldn't continue to ask questions.
"I won't mention this in advance. Since sir, why not stay?" Yao Ruoyu changed the subject and asked suddenly.
He asked abruptly, but Wang Li was not surprised, but chuckled, "What confidence does the prince have to recruit Wang?"
Yao Ruoyu's smile was slightly restrained, he bent down and bowed, and said solemnly: "If sir is willing to stay, Yao is willing to ask sir to be the lord of Diaoyu City."
When Wang Li heard this, his eyes flashed suddenly and he stared at Yao Ruoyu thoughtfully, but the latter had no color change and was still in that solemn expression.
After a long time, Wang Licai smiled bitterly: "The prince is fishing for the people who are fishing for Wang!"
Yao Ruoyu smiled and nodded: "If you don't want to, you can refuse."
Wang Li suddenly burst into laughter and shook his head and said, "If Wang is not in the city, why should he come back? Well, please take care of the leader in the future!"
Seeing Wang Li's reply, Yao Ruoyu made a few polite words and returned to Diaoyu City with Wanyan Fuchan. Wang Li, Xu Xuanrong, Bai Junru and others stayed to take charge of the post-war finals.
On the way back, Yao Ruoyu and Wanyan Fuchan didn't have any communication. The former quickly sat down and recovered as soon as he entered the carriage, while the latter sat silently in a corner of the carriage, staring at Yao Ruoyu with complicated eyes.
But after the carriage entered the Diaoyu City, Wanyan Fuchan couldn't bear it and opened her mouth and wanted to speak.
"I remember, your name is Hu Chan, a native of Tongliang. Because your village was slaughtered by the Jin cavalry and exiled to the city-state."
But before she could speak, Yao Ruoyu, who seemed to be conscious, had already spoken first, and at the same time opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile.
"You, don't you doubt it?" Wanyan Fuchan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.
"Why do you have to doubt?" Yao Ruoyu shrugged and laughed, "I only know that you are my silkworm baby. You have sacrificed your life to save me several times. If you hadn't killed Wanyan Fufeng just now, I wouldn't have escaped. If you really had malice towards me, how could you save me just now?"
Wanyan Fuchan nipped her silver teeth and said sternly: "Aren't you afraid that I have other purposes?"
Smiling helplessly, Yao Ruoyu took her little hand and said softly: "I only know that I like you, and I believe you like me too. Since that's the case, I don't care about my background or something."
Seeing the tenderness and affection in his eyes, Wanyan Fuchan's pretty face was hot. Facing such an understanding answer, she was obviously moved by her heart, but she felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort and entanglement. In the end, she couldn't help but shake Yao Ruoyu's hand away and said angrily: "Idiot! Can you not trust others so easily?"
Looking at the hand that was thrown away, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows, and asked back, "Are you someone else?"
Wanyan Fuchan suddenly stopped and then pointed at him angrily. Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything after a while. He could only push open the car window, jump out, and disappeared outside the car window in an instant.
Because he had long been accustomed to Wanyan Fuchan's coming and going like the wind, Yao Ruoyu was not worried. He just waited for the girl to leave, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
How could he not know that Wanyan Fuchan's origin was strange? As early as when the Ministry of Personnel first met, he realized that there was something wrong with this woman. However, with the girl on Hurricane Island that day, coupled with the ambiguous relationship in the whale's belly, and the day and night together during this period, how could he still suspect that the other party had bad intentions?
After returning to the leader's mansion, Yao Ruoyu went straight back to his residence. There was a special training room here. Although the effect was not as powerful as the Tongyuan Palace, it also had a small spiritual gathering array, which had certain improvements in both cultivation and recovery.
This retreat lasted until the next morning.
Looking at the dim green jade in his palm, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and put it away. Fortunately, he had this piece of warm jade, otherwise he would not know how much energy he would have to lose to recover this time. However, he had consumed too much wood-type spiritual energy in the warm jade, and he was afraid that he would not be able to use the warm jade for a month.
After stretching, Yao Ruoyu shook his clothes and got up and left the secret room. He called Chen Xiang and Su Mei to prepare hot water for him, take a shower, change his clothes, and then went out.
Yesterday, the Second Army Town suffered a considerable loss. It needed to count the damage, and to deal with prisoners. It also required counting military merits and preparing for rewards. There were many things to do, so the summary of this battle would take two days later. Therefore, Yao Ruoyu did not go out this time to find Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai, but instead wanted to find Wang Li to discuss the appointment of him as the lord of Diaoyu City.
After wandering around the street for a while, Yao Ruoyu went straight to Wang Jin's house. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the carriages and horses crowded at the door, and countless people were crowding at the door, carrying gift boxes, looking like they were coming to visit.
Yao Ruoyu glanced at him and knew that Wang Li had returned had spread, and even the fact that he wanted to appoint the other party as the lord of Diaoyu City had spread. Otherwise, with the embarrassing identity of Wang Li's former former city lord, there would not be many people in the city-state who dared to visit Wang Li now.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu appear, a group of people at the door hurriedly saluted respectfully, while a few of them showed anxiety, fearing that Yao Ruoyu would be missed by the visit to Wang Li.
However, Yao Ruoyu was not interested in paying attention to them and came straight to the door. Just as he was about to talk to the servants at the door, two people walked out of the door, which were Wang Jin and Zhou Zhi.
Seeing Yao Ruoyu, Wang Jin hummed directly, and Zhou Zhize came up with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Prince, why are you here?"
Yao Ruoyu smiled and nodded: "Come to visit Mr. Wang and discuss the next work of the city lord."
Both of them knew that the "Mr. Wang" he was talking about was naturally not Wang Jin. Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "Sir, please come in the main hall."
Yao Ruoyu didn't stay in Wang Li's mansion for too long. Wang Li himself was the lord of Hezhou City and was familiar with the work of managing the city. Therefore, the two discussed for a while and then discussed the work content roughly.
*—*—*—*—*
Just as Yao Ruoyu and Wang Li were discussing matters, Duan Li was hugging his only daughter Duan Yun in Hou Jingru's clinic with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Duan Li's expression excited, Duan Yun laughed softly and said, "Dad, why are you crying? Aren't Yun'er fine?"
Duan Li shook his head in tears, chuckled, "Dad is happy, afraid something will happen to you."
"I have always said something. Since I promised you not to hurt her, I will naturally not hurt her at all."
Song Kai, who was beside him, heard Duan Li say coldly.
Duan Li snorted angrily when he heard this, turned his head and stared at him: "You still have the face to say? Kidnapping Yun'er to threaten me, Song Kai, is this your method as the Ministry of Justice?"
"Song has always been in this style, and he should be used to it after a few days." Song Kai said lightly.
Seeing his cold expression, Duan Li laughed anxiously. But before he could do it, Duan Yun reached out to hold him and smiled, "Dad, it's okay, am I okay? Don't be angry."
At this time, Hou Jingru, who was full of guilt, moved up and said guiltily: "Sorry, Chief Duan..."
After glanced at her, Duan Li sneered: "I dare not be a person! Doctor Hou has a reputation, but he didn't expect that he was such a villain."
Hearing his cold words, Hou Jingru's pretty face turned pale, and her fox eyes even more filled with tears of grievance.
Seeing him taking his anger at Hou Jingru, Song Kai frowned and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with her. I am afraid that she will not agree to this matter. I directly detained her and your daughter."
Duan Li was stunned when he heard this, while Hou Jingru felt more aggrieved, her eyes were slightly red and she almost burst into tears.
After a long time, Duan Li slowly let out a breath and said in a deep voice: "Since the Xixia clan has been eliminated, can I take Yun'er away?"
"Naturally, please." Song Kai nodded slightly when he heard this and said lightly.
Seeing him answering this, Duan Li immediately hugged Duan Yun and walked out quickly, not wanting to stay here for a moment.
Seeing them leave, Song Kai withdrew his gaze and suddenly laughed at Hou Jingru stared at herself with a righteous look, without realizing that she cut her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Unhappy? I had known your attitude, so I locked you up together."
"Brother Kai, you're too much!" Hou Jingru was unwilling to talk to him anymore. After shouting angrily, she turned around and ran out of the house, leaving Song Kai alone standing inside the house.
"Is it too much?" murmured, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Song Kai's lips, "But this is the fastest and most effective way! If not... the First Army Town will be wiped out!"
