Two figures walked one after the other, the former panicked and moving as fast as a shooting star.
The latter strolled leisurely, yet managed to keep up closely with the former, gradually closing the distance.
It was incredibly fast; the biting wind blew against my face like a knife, blowing away a layer of white powder.
His face, slightly yellowed and showing signs of aging, appeared much older than before.
There was another city 800 li ahead. She had a good relationship with the city lord of that city, and she would be safe once she entered it.
But for Huihuang, eight hundred li is not a long distance; with her full power, it would only take the time it takes to drink two cups of tea. However, for her now, it is simply insurmountable.
After running for over a hundred miles, Su Qing slapped her to the ground and tied her up using the binding techniques she had learned.
"Let me go, and I'll give you anything you want!"
The female city lord began to beg for mercy.
Su Qing tied the bow, patted her head, and said with a smile, "I want so many things that you can't give me!"
Picking him up, Su Qing returned to where Chris was and threw the female city lord to him.
The familiar binding technique made Chris's eyelids twitch as he looked at the dragon suspiciously: "You haven't been spying on me the whole time, have you?"
Su Qing slapped his younger brother on the back of the head with a stern face: "How dare you talk like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Are you even human?
Chris retorted without backing down.
The two's unrestrained conversation greatly angered the female city lord standing nearby.
These two seem to be ignoring her!
"you……"
"Shut up!"
The two spoke in unison, their cold gazes simultaneously falling on her.
Su Qing turned to look at Chris again, clearly displeased: "You're questioning my character!"
Chris: "Are you human?"
"I swear on my integrity that I would never do something like intentionally spying!"
Chris: "Are you human?"
Su Qing: ?(▼ヘ▼#)
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Su Qing withdrew her fist, feeling instantly refreshed.
Chris and the female city lord each had two large, swollen bumps on their heads.
"I'm your older brother, you're not allowed to talk to me like that!"
After giving a warning, Su Qing grabbed one of the two men in each hand and flew towards the city.
It was midnight. The white fog in the city had dissipated. Although it had caused quite a bit of chaos, fortunately there were no casualties and it was quickly suppressed.
Inside the city lord's mansion, four figures stood.
The female city lord's wounds were treated simply. Su Qing looked at the bandages on her body, coughed lightly, and revealed a serious expression beneath her black robe.
"It seems I still have a soft spot for women. The wounds I inflicted on you are not as bad as the one he stabbed."
Chris was speechless. He wondered which bastard had told him to stab as hard as possible, ideally to incapacitate the opponent in one go.
Is this how you treat your heroes now? The pot you're giving them is really big and round.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw that the female city lord's gaze towards him was somewhat indescribable.
He felt a little awkward, since, strictly speaking, the female city lord had treated him quite well.
His behavior is a classic example of repaying kindness with enmity, which is contrary to chivalry.
He coughed lightly, picked up his water glass, and prepared to moisten his throat to cover up his embarrassment.
Lidodo's face was clean, and she looked more like a sister to the female city lord when she sat down with her. She just kept her head down in silence, as if she didn't know how to face this woman she should call her mother.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming gloomy, Su Qing felt she should lighten the mood: "Don't be like this, it's such a good day, why are you so down? How about we all do a striptease?"
puff!
Chris suddenly spat out the water he had just drunk.
The two women also looked at Su Qing with wistful eyes.
Seeing herself become the center of attention again, Su Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Let me just say a few words, about our disaster-stricken city..."
Su Qing quickly developed a sense of ownership and immediately put herself in the position of the city lord of the disaster city.
"This is a city of disaster for all of us. Let's redistribute the positions. I will reluctantly serve as the city lord, Lidodo as the deputy city lord, and Chris in charge of the city guard."
Su Qing quickly assigned duties: "However, do not announce it to the outside world. Li Duoduo, you will continue to assume your mother's identity. Outside, you will still be the city lord."
"Furthermore, the name of the City of Disaster should be changed to the City of Hope..."
Su Qing quickly dealt with the affairs in the city, giving instructions on matters large and small.
As the lord of the Dragon Territory, he was quite adept at these matters.
Street renovations, shop rezoning, and reorganization of the city guards...
A series of commands.
However, due to the special circumstances of the Chaotic Territory, the development of agriculture and industry is greatly restricted and is not suitable for promotion at the moment; the focus should be placed on commerce.
An auction venue could be established, with an auction held annually, which would be very effective in attracting customers to businesses.
However, that's not urgent for now. The most important thing right now is to quickly seize control of the City of Hope.
However, there aren't many people I can truly trust right now. Chris is one, but I can only use Lidodo temporarily. After all, both sides get what they need, but trust is really out of the question.
As for the female city lord, Su Qing pondered briefly and decided that killing her would not be appropriate, since both of his current capable subordinates had intricate connections with her.
Su Qing placed the contract in front of the female city lord: "Lifetime employment contract, employing you for life for one gold coin."
