Chapter 143
===================
"Thank you." Lian Yun said sincerely.
The city lord smiled and shook his head: "Even if I wasn't there, you would have thought of it sooner or later."
But the situation is too urgent now. Although Lian Yun is capable, he is still too young and does not have as much experience as him.
I still have to say a few words about the changes.
After getting new inspiration, Lian Yun nodded thoughtfully.
"I'll seriously consider this."
When she gets back, she'll ask Bernie for more information about the puppets.
Lian Yun and his friends really like the environment and cultural customs of Buli Lake City, but given the current situation, they don’t plan to stay there for long.
The next day after the conversation, they packed their bags and prepared to go back.
The city lord was actually a little reluctant to let them go.
They left in the morning. The city lord saw them off to the city gate and said leisurely, "Before you came, I was strolling around the city at this time. I've been forced to work overtime these past few days and it's almost become a habit."
Lian Yun smiled and said, "Are you unhappy about not having to work overtime? That's easy. I'll have plenty of things for you to handle in the coming days."
The city lord waved his hands repeatedly: "Go!"
He paused, his expression changing, and then he added, "If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. If it's inconvenient for you to run around with your status, just send someone."
"I know." Lian Yun met his meaningful gaze, "Don't worry."
Lian Yun took a detour on the way back and went to Jiaota City to meet the city lord.
The mayor of Jiaota City is a middle-aged man with a slightly round figure, a bit like a big white flour bun, but he speaks and acts very straightforwardly, and is serious when serious. He is considered a reliable person.
He was pleasantly surprised and surprised by the arrival of Lian Yun and his companions. After a while, he invited them into the city in a familiar manner and asked about the progress of the trainees in the small town.
After learning that they had been able to get along well with the townspeople and were studying very hard, he happily gave out some more supplies.
Because Lian Yun and his team had just returned from Buli Lake City, they had already received a large number of troops that were more impressive than when they went to Buli Lake City, which was enough to supply the town for some time to come.
My first reaction now is to refuse.
But the Lord of Jiaota City was very serious: "That belongs to Buli Lake City, and this is mine. No matter what, you must accept our kindness."
"After all, our Jiaota City was the first one you contacted. At that time, the condition I set was to give someone away. Now that it has been achieved, how can I, as the city lord, be stingy?"
After refusing repeatedly in vain, Lian Yun had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
The lord of Jiaota City then suggested that they climb up the iconic building of Jiaota City to see the scenery.
"The last time Fang Suo came, he was in a hurry and didn't give us a chance to entertain him." The Lord of Jiaota City smiled.
Lian Yun and Fang Suo exchanged a glance and still politely refused.
"You know, we've been so busy these days. Maybe we can go up to Jiaota and take a look next time?"
The Jiaota City Lord didn't feel embarrassed and nodded with a smile: "Next time, for sure."
Before they left, the Lord of Jiaota City was very tactful and praised Lian Yun for how Fang Suo negotiated.
Fang Suo was caught off guard by everyone's admiring gazes.
On the way back, Fang Suo rode up alongside on a camel and suddenly said, "The attitude of the Jiaota City Lord..."
Lian Yun tilted his head: "Why, is it very different from last time?"
Fang Suo shook his head silently: "Although he was very enthusiastic last time, he didn't give out so many things so unconditionally and generously as this time."
Lian Yun: "Isn't this great?"
Because they were carrying a lot of stuff, the other side realized that they had formed an alliance with the Buli Lake City, which had more supplies and stronger capabilities, and could profit more from them.
Therefore, the Lord of Jiaota City began to think that he could not fall behind Buli Lake City, and deliberately mentioned that Jiaota City had formed an alliance with the small town before Buli Lake City.
Lian Yun pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.
“Healthy competition.”
Absolutely welcome.
"What about that city..."
Lian Yun looked far away in one direction.
The invisible place is the area where the holy city is opened.
Last time, Fang Suo led people from Buli Lake City to Jiaota City, and then left Jiaota City. It would be reasonable to say that her actions were covert and not discovered.
This time, Lian Yun's large army was moving around in a grand manner. Even if Lian Yun wanted to cover it up, the other party probably couldn't pretend not to see it.
So what are their choices?
Lana followed Lian Yun's gaze and instantly understood what Lian Yun was thinking. He asked softly, "Sir, we need to expedite preparations."
Lian Yun looked at him: "Yes."
Kaisheng City is the most difficult city to convince among the three.
In fact, Lian Yun had no intention of trying it.
Regardless of whether it was neglected by the main city, or had high hopes for the rising star of the small town, and wanted to break away from the control of the main city...
But Kaisheng City is the birthplace of two sons of God after all. No matter how neglected it is, it will not be ignored to the extent of Jiaota City and Buli Lake City.
Similarly, even if they really surrender to the town, they are not desperate and may turn against it at the last minute.
Lian Yun would inevitably be wary of them and would not trust them as much as he did with the other two cities.
But no matter what, they still cannot predict things that have not happened in the future.
On the way, they stopped at the city of Quoge again and left a considerable amount of food and other supplies. When Peth saw them coming, the cloud of worry that had been hanging over his head for many days finally dissipated.
"Thank you, sir... Thank you." Peth had tears in his eyes.
She led the citizens of the city to hold on for so many days with great difficulty under the extremely scarce supplies. Everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, tightened their belts and followed her orders, just to not abandon the city and wait for this glimmer of hope.
At this moment, I can finally relax.
They... are finally back.
"Sister Fang Suo!"
After hearing the news that Fang Suo and the others had returned, Kuo Kuo was brought over by the innkeeper to see them off.
Kuo Kuo threw himself into Fang Suo's open arms.
"Sister! You're finally back. I missed you so much!"
Fang Suo pinched her little face lovingly: "You've lost weight."
Kuokuo shook his head firmly: "I'm not losing weight! Mom gave me all the food, that's why she lost weight!"
……Mother?
Fang Suo looked at the innkeeper's wife, who looked away awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me? She was the one who called me that."
Fang Suo was stunned for a moment, then understood in an instant.
Although the boss lady was a little distant from the adopted child, she was truly kind to him.
As soon as the school tuition was reduced, she sent Kuo Kuo to study.
During this food crisis, she also withheld her own limited food rations and gave them to Kuo Kuo, who was still growing.
For Kuo Kuo, as she gradually grew up, she gradually understood the boss lady's double-faced character, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and she also understood that her feelings for him were not fake.
One day when I came home from school, the word "Mom" came out of my mouth naturally.
Fang Suo also felt relieved.
She will have to travel around in the days to come. Even if she is not on the way to a mission, she will have to be on standby in the small town. She will come back to Kuoge City but she may not stay there forever.
The only thing I was worried about before was Kuo Kuo.
Now it seems that she no longer has to worry about it.
"Study hard." Fang Suo curled his lips.
Kuo Kuo nodded repeatedly: "I won't let Sister Fang Suo down! Now I am the first in our fighting class!"
Everyone looked at her small body and was surprised.
"From now on, I will protect Quoge City just like my sister did!"
Fang Suo hugged her again, feeling warm in his heart.
Lian Yun lowered his body, his eyebrows curved: "We will have to protect more people by then."
Kuo Kuo nodded proudly.
After saying goodbye to Peth and others, they set off again.
Not long after, Lian Yun was suddenly called.
"……elder sister!"
Hearing Lina's voice, Lian Yun turned around and saw Lina pointing ahead with her eyes wide open.
They set out from the city of Quoge and have now reached the border with the desert. In the distance ahead, bulging sand dunes are moving rapidly, raising fine dust behind them, but because there are too many of them, they are easily noticed.
Anyone who has seen this scene can recognize that it is a large group of flying gerbils running towards this side at a rapid speed.
Ever since Xiaobai was adopted that day, and the town had formed teams to hunt down monsters several times, there had been no trace of flying gerbils near the town.
Now that we are on the edge of the desert, it is not surprising to see it.
But the IQ of flying gerbils is not low. Logically, they will not attack rashly when they see groups of people, especially when there are many people in the group who look like they are not easy to mess with.
Lana didn't take them seriously and just treated them as training for his men.
"Prepare."
At his command, everyone drew their weapons and looked at the sand dunes with alertness, their eyes fixed on them.
As soon as they showed their heads, they rushed over and killed them with their swords.
Whether it was training or actual practice, they had done these movements countless times and had already memorized them.
"...No, wait a minute."
Lian Yun suddenly raised his hand with a bad look on his face, and Lana quickly stopped.
Lian Yun opened the telepathy of the main pet.
"Master! Master! Don't do it!"
Lian Yun lowered his head and looked at the white ball in the cloth bag in his arms, which was struggling to get out. After a lot of effort, its little head finally emerged, and it shook off its fur and jumped down.
Lian Yun narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's going on?"
As soon as Lana opened her mouth, she felt Xiaobai begin to struggle to get out.
Xiaobai spoke softly, and as he spoke, his body grew bigger: "Master! Wait!"
Before long, it expanded to the size of a small building.
Before Lian Yun could say anything, it rushed towards the group of flying gerbils.
"Xiaobai!" Lian Yun suddenly became nervous.
Although it often goes out to fight monsters with Lana and the others, this is a large group.
The little white-haired boy didn't turn back either.
Strangely, as soon as it approached the sand dunes, the flying gerbils hiding under the gravel suddenly jumped out.
They raised their faces, blinked their scarlet eyes, and moved their noses to catch Xiaobai's scent.
The next second, they suddenly froze.
"squeak!"
Xiaobai let out a loud scream, and the flying sand rats immediately arched their bodies and lowered their heads towards the snow-white rat in front of them.
“…Xiaobai?” Lian Yun was stunned.
Xiaobai then turned around, raised his front paws and clasped them together with some pride and shyness.
"Originally... I wanted to give the master a surprise."
It turned out that it had been going out day and night these days and coming back covered in dust because it was going to unite the flying sand rats from various tribes, big and small.
Repeat the process of finding the leader to fight - win - and then find the next group.
The result now is that almost all the flying gerbils in the desert are here.
Lian Yun was really relieved: "Xiaobai..."
It turns out it has been doing this quietly.
Xiaobai has grown up, but he still keeps his baby voice in front of Lianyun: "I was away for several days this time, and they were worried because they couldn't find me."
So when they approached the desert, Xiaobai's scent appeared again near the desert, and they rushed over without stopping to find their leader.
It was intended to give Lian Yun a surprise, but it was accidentally delivered early.
Lian Yun felt completely soft inside.
She realized that the tense atmosphere of these days had an impact even on Xiaobai.
It felt the tension and bustle of the town, and knew that the war would break out soon.
If it weren't smart, perhaps it could just be a pet and ignore everything.
But it has a stronger physique, talent and ability than any other flying gerbil.
It was taken in by its owner when it was young.
Now that it has grown up, it can help its owner.
At Xiaobai's command again, the flying sand rats flew away in groups, and no one knew where they hid.
Lian Yun returned to the town before dinner. When Gary saw the supplies they brought back, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Done?"
"It's done."
Lian Yun felt a little sad when he saw Gary's relieved smile.
"Thank you for your hard work these days."
The population of the town increased suddenly, and the food problem fell on the shoulders of the executive officer, Gary, even though he always talked and laughed with Lian Yun, and on the surface it was Lian Yun who should be worried.
But Lian Yun knew that his pressure was no less than his own.
Lian Yun took out his experience book, which indeed had organized the experiences he had gained in Buli Lake City and Jiaota City in recent days.
Including street construction, government affairs processing methods, etc.
Gary took it and nodded with satisfaction: "It's very useful."
"Next time I go, I plan to bring this batch of vegetable seeds with me. I remember that it's time for us to harvest it?" Lian Yun asked.
"We harvested it yesterday," Gerry said. "It's a large batch. I figured even if your negotiations fail, this output would be enough to last for a while."
But I didn't expect Lian Yun to bring back such a big surprise.
A wave has already been sent to Kuoge City, and so many are still left. It seems that Buli Lake City is really generous.
"There are also blueprints for street lights. The city lord wants a copy too."
Lian Yun briefly described the feeling the city lord gave her these days. Overall, the other party was a good ally.
Gary chuckled. "That's great. It's just a blueprint. Next time, bring a few blueprints of the little gadgets I've researched."
It doesn't matter.
No matter how precious or rare it is, it is not as valuable as the help you need at this time.
"By the way, go find Luo. He's been waiting for you since yesterday."
Lian Yun's eyes lit up, and he guessed without him saying, "Is it glass?"
Gerry smiled and nodded: "It has been tested and can be used."
