After everyone from the Fifth Family had arrived, Chang Yue glanced at the people sitting at the bottom one by one and said: "I believe you already know the reason why I invited you here today..."
"Hey~ Isn't it just to choose a new city lord?" the head of the Shentu family said carelessly.
"That's right." Chang Yue nodded, "The original city lord Kong Shihang and acting city lord Ji Minglang have died. Now the position of city lord is vacant. If a new city lord is not elected as soon as possible, Mingyue City will fall into chaos sooner or later."
After hearing Chang Yue's words, everyone nodded.
"We at Cangyue Pavilion and the Fifth Family that you all belong to are currently the largest group of interests in Mingyue City, so the position of city lord should be decided by us." Changyue continued.
Uh-huh~~Everyone continued to nod.
"I wonder if you guys... have any thoughts on the position of city lord of Mingyue City?" Chang Yue asked.
The carefree head of the Shentu family was about to say: Of course, Elder Long, who has just broken through to the innate realm, will be in charge.
However, Elder Long spoke first and said, "I think the position of city lord should be held by Pavilion Master Baiyi. I think you all know how much Cangyue Pavilion has paid for Mingyue City and our Fifth Family."
No one can refute this.
As soon as Elder Long finished speaking, Li Changming and Luo Fengqiao echoed.
"I agree with Elder Long's proposal!"
"I agree too."
Of course, people from the other four major aristocratic families knew what Elder Long said was reasonable, but they always looked to the Li family, and their hearts were naturally biased towards the Li family. So when Li Changming said that he agreed with Elder Long, these uncles and uncles suddenly felt a little bit. I hate that iron cannot become steel.
I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it!
If the Li family wants to be the city lord, the other four families will support it even if they try to offend Cangyue Pavilion! However, the real owner gave up first.
"Um... we naturally have no objection to Pavilion Master in White being the city lord, but after all, the girl in White is not as good as Elder Long in cultivation. I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress him if something happens! It's better to let Long..."
The fourth family wanted to continue struggling, so the head of the Kang family took the lead, but was interrupted by Chang Yue before he could finish his words.
"Master Kang, don't worry about this." Chang Yue waved her hand, and then Bai Yuanqi, who was standing behind her, took a step forward, "Let me introduce to you, this is Bai Yuanqi, the elder of Cang Yue Pavilion. Realm Warrior!"
Since she has plans to compete for the city lord, she certainly won't hide it.
As soon as Chang Yue finished speaking, Bai Yuanqi cooperated and released the coercion belonging to the Xiantian Realm warrior. In an instant, everyone in the entire conference hall, except Elder Long, who was also a Xiantian Realm warrior, felt it was difficult to breathe.
Chang Yue waved her hand again, and Bai Yuanqi immediately restrained his aura. Only then did everyone peek at Bai Yuanqi with surprised eyes.
They didn't dare to look them in the face. Although Bai Yuanqi was only Chang Yue's subordinate, he was still a Xiantian realm warrior and a senior they needed to respect.
There are actually Xiantian realm warriors in Cangyue Pavilion! This was something they didn't expect.
"If I become the city lord, Elder Bai will be the deputy city lord. I don't think anyone will open their eyes and cause trouble for me." Chang Yue said with a smile.
"Yes...yes..." Head Kang said awkwardly.
Chang Yue then said: "If we establish ourselves as the new city lord, it means that we are on the opposite side of the Chaoyun Sect. Maybe one day, we will be at odds with the Chaoyun Sect.
If anyone here is confident that he can lead Mingyue City to survive the attack of Chaoyun Sect, then who should be the city leader. "
Chang Yue's words made all the family heads frown involuntarily, that was the Chaoyun Sect! If they had this ability, they wouldn't have been suppressed by Long Shihang and his grandson back then.
He Hongling said at this time: "If Pavilion Master Baiyi serves as the new city lord, will you have the confidence to lead our Mingyue City against Chaoyun Sect?"
"Of course!" Changyue said confidently.
"But that's Chaoyun Sect!" Song Qianqiu said worriedly.
At this time, Grandma Peach Blossom stepped forward, slapped the table fiercely, and said with an impatient expression: "You are warriors after all. How come every one of you, my pavilion master, has said that you are confident, so what do you have to worry about?" of?
My pavilion master is willing to take you to play, so you can have some fun! Still looking forward and backward, since we in Cangyue Pavilion can bring out Old Man Bai, a Xiantian realm warrior, we can bring out the second, third, or even fourth one. It’s not your turn to worry about, so just give me your heart. Stuff your belly and put it away! "
Hearing Granny Peach Blossom calling him Old Man Bai, the muscles on Bai Yuanqi's face couldn't help but twitch. It seemed like they hadn't known each other for too long...
"Hmph!" After finishing speaking, Granny Peach Blossom snorted and stood back behind Chang Yue. She proudly swept her arrogant gaze over the juniors who were shrinking their heads, looking as proud as a victorious rooster.
However, after listening to Grandma Taohua's words, everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Is there really some powerful force behind Cangyue Pavilion? Even Chaoyun Sect didn't even take it seriously!
If that's true...
Elder Long spoke at the right moment and said: "Then, regarding the matter of Pavilion Master Baiyi taking office as our new city lord of Mingyue City, does anyone have any opinions?"
Li Changming and Luo Fengqiao originally supported Chang Yue and immediately agreed.
"I have no opinion."
"I don't have any objection either."
Now that it’s come to this, who would have any objections? So the other four family heads stood up and raised their hands to Chang Yue and said in unison:
"I've seen the city lord in white!"
Upon seeing this, Chang Yue stood up with a smile and said to them, "Thank you for not giving up. I hope we can support each other and make Mingyue City stand firm from now on."
"Mingyue City stands firm!"
"Mingyue City stands firm!"
"Mingyue City stands firm!"
…
A beautiful vision is established here.
After the city lord is selected, Chang Yue and the others will also discuss candidates for other positions. After all, to manage a city, only the city lord is not enough. There are also city supervisors, chiefs, city guards, etc.
Now that the city lord and deputy city lord have decided on the people of Cangyue Pavilion, other important positions will be assigned to people from the Fifth Family.
After the general discussion was completed, Chang Yue continued: "As for the city guards, I think that in addition to recruiting young and promising disciples from the Fifth Family and Cangyue Pavilion, we will also recruit some foreign warriors."
"City Lord... this is not good! Those foreign warriors are rude and rude, and they also like to cause trouble. If they are admitted to the city guard, it will be difficult to manage!" He Hongling said.
In the previous discussion, He Hongling had been appointed as the city guard manager, and Li Changming served as his deputy.
Chang Yue heard the words and said: "I know everyone's concerns, but if Mingyue City wants to develop, we can't just rely on our Cangyue Pavilion and the Fifth Family. How many people do we have together? We need to unite all the people who can be united. strength."
After hearing Chang Yue's words, everyone fell into deep thought.
At this time, Chang Yue signaled to Bai Yuanqi, who took out stacks of papers from the storage items and distributed them to the heads of the families.
The heads of each family were shocked when they saw that Bai Yuanqi actually had storage tools, and at the same time they also had a look of envy on their faces.
Cangyue Pavilion is really amazing!
After everyone got the paper, Chang Yue said, "Look, here are some of my opinions on city guard management."
In fact, Changyue didn't know much about city management. What she handed over to the family heads was just some militarized management methods she learned in her previous life. She thought a lot, so she reluctantly scraped some together and put them to use.
She had discussed this with Bai Yuanqi for a long time. Although Bai Yuanqi had never managed a city, he was once the head of the Bai family and had richer management experience than Chang Yue.
But this is enough of a surprise for the family heads. The management methods recorded on paper are something they have never heard of.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" The head of the Shentu family muttered as he watched.
He Hongling quickly read the contents on the paper and felt a deep admiration for Chang Yue. If the guards of Mingyue City can really follow the orders and prohibitions and carry out military orders as stated on the paper, then Mingyue City will definitely have an invincible army. The sharp blade.
Maybe one day I can actually overthrow the Yunzong!
"I can't wait to see what the city lord is thinking. I admire Hong Ling!" He Hongling cupped her hands towards Chang Yue.
Chang Yue waved her hands modestly and said, "Master He, thank you very much. I'm just trying to pick someone up!"
Then the family heads discussed the city guard management plan proposed by Chang Yue.
After the discussion was over, Chang Yue said with an expression of embarrassment: "Everyone, I have another suggestion, I don't know if I should make it or not..."
The head of the Song family said: "It doesn't matter if the city lord just says so."
If they had some objections to Chang Yue's role as city lord before, now they are convinced.
"I would like to set up a library in the city lord's palace for the warriors who join the city guard to browse. As you all know, the conditions for those foreign warriors to practice martial arts are not good. They lack both good martial arts and good martial arts. If We can provide some martial arts and exercises for them to practice, and I think it will definitely increase their sense of belonging to Mingyue City."
After Chang Yue finished speaking, all the family heads fell into deep thought. Since they were going to build a library, it was obvious where the books would come from. Naturally, they would be donated by each family.
Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Changyue said: "Everyone, the collection of books in the library does not require the unique skills of the donors. I think there are always some martial arts or martial arts that are not top-notch collected from other places in each family's collection. Kung Fu, right?"
In fact, if she really wants to build a library, Changyue has enough in her own hands. She has a large collection of books from the Tao family, as well as those from the Bai family, and what she has obtained by killing so many enemies...
But does it mean that she has to take full responsibility for this matter? Since Mingyue City belongs to everyone, everyone must participate in its construction. Only in this way will everyone have a better understanding of this city and this community of interests. Have a sense of belonging and participation, and be more willing to devote your efforts to it.
"Let's do this, I'll create an intermediate skill!" Changyue said.
In the Tao family's large collection of books, although there is only one high-level exercise called "Taohua Nuo", there are still several intermediate-level exercises.
Hearing this, all the family heads showed surprise on their faces. You must know that their family skills are only at the intermediate level. They didn't expect the city lord's palace to be so generous.
Since it is a library built for the city guards, the disciples of their fifth family can naturally read it!
At this time, the head of the Kang family said: "City Lord, it's not that we are unwilling to donate the collection of books, but...if the recruited city guards are mixed with people who harbor evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous..."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"That's the truth!"
…
Hearing this, several other family heads nodded in agreement.
Chang Yue heard the words and said with a smile: "Please rest assured about this. Do you think that when we select city guards, we will recruit anyone? I have my own means of kicking out those who harbor evil intentions!"
"I don't know what you are worried about. Could it be that my girl doesn't take this into consideration?" Granny Peach Blossom said with disgust on her face, "You should just listen to my girl and save yourself the embarrassment!"
"Mother-in-law!" Changyue glared at Grandma Peach Blossom.
Then Grandma Peach Blossom smiled and said: "Oh, oh, I just don't say it, old lady! We girls are still kind-hearted." After saying that, she stopped smiling and secretly glared at several family heads.
"Since the city lord has a plan, then our Li family has no reason not to agree." Li Changming took the lead in expressing support for Chang Yue on behalf of the Li family.
The Li family all supported it, and naturally the other four families no longer had any objections.
"My He family agrees!"
"My Song family agrees!"
"My Kang family also agrees!"
"My Shentu family also agrees!"
Then there was another discussion among each family on how to donate the book collection, and it was not until evening that each family left the city lord's mansion one after another.
The next day, several announcements were posted outside the city lord's mansion.
The announcement announced the identity of the new city lord and the new composition of the city lord's palace, as well as the new city rules of Mingyue City in the future, and the news that Mingyue City's city guards would recruit external personnel.
As soon as these messages came out, they immediately aroused a large number of warriors to watch and discuss, especially the last message caused the widest range of discussions.
Who decides who the lord of Mingyue City is? Ordinary warriors cannot decide, so they naturally won't care. But it's different when they enter the city guard. This is related to their vital interests.
"Come on, let's go back and tell the gang leader the news!"
"Go back quickly and inform the boss that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting city guards!"
…
Even some warriors and leaders of small forces are considering whether to join the Mingyue City Guards.
Mingyue City has always been controlled by the Fifth Family and Cangyue Pavilion. It is very difficult for small forces to get ahead here, but what if they also become one of them?
With the idea of joining if they can't beat them, all the small forces in Mingyue City began to prepare to participate in the city guard election.
All powerful warriors were like this, not to mention those lone warriors. The entire Mingyue City became boiling for a while.
The news that Mingyue City was recruiting city guards also reached Lihua Village. Li Gui, the leader of the village, walked into the house with a happy face. As soon as he entered the door, he said to his granddaughter Jinhua:
"Quick, Jinhua, go to the city with grandpa!"
