City Lord's Mansion was just a simple name, and Li Daoqiang didn't use any other titles.
Until he understands the situation after the change and cannot guarantee his safety after the change, he will keep this name to keep a relatively low profile.
The City Lord's Mansion naturally occupies a huge area. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city within a city or a royal palace. The main body is built in a calm, majestic and spectacular style.
The entire mansion is divided into the front mansion and the back mansion. The front mansion is mainly used for offices, while the back mansion is the residence of Li Daoqiang's family and some more secret places.
The front palace is dominated by three main halls. The Black Dragon Hall in the center is the head of the three halls and is also the most solemn and core place in Black Dragon City.
The front hall was used to discuss important matters, similar to when an emperor went to court, and the back hall was used as Li Daoqiang's study.
When he came to the city lord's mansion for the first time, Li Daoqiang asked Huang Xuemei and others to go to the back mansion to settle down first. He summoned many high-level officials of the current Black Dragon City in the Black Dragon Palace.
Today is different from the past. After swallowing up the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the Black Dragon City is now full of powerful people. There are nearly a hundred masters in the city, including more than eighty women.
There are only about thirty people who can be here at this time. They are either at least at the level of top masters, or they are quite senior and hold high positions with power.
Of course, there are still a few who are qualified, but they are not here because they are too far away and have to sit down.
In addition, this is the most comprehensive gathering of high-level officials from the former Black Dragon Village and the current Black Dragon City.
Yin Zhong, Ancestor Sunflower, Shi Zhixuan, Ouyang Feng, Xiong Ba...
In the main hall, Li Daoqiang sat high up and asked everyone to sit down. He glanced around and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
From now on, his foundation will move to a new level.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. From today on, Black Dragon Village will be renamed Black Dragon City."
Li Daoqiang spoke with some emotion, and everyone seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They stood up and saluted together: "Greetings to the City Lord."
"No need to be polite, sit down." Li Daoqiang waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down, and suddenly said with a hearty smile: "City Lord~! From the head of the family to the city lord, it sounds a bit uncomfortable at first.
However, this change seems much more elegant, and it makes me, Li Daoqiang, become a civilized person. "
Everyone below was speechless, some of them couldn't understand Li Daoqiang's thoughts. Is this self-deprecation? Still happy?
Li Daoqiang didn't care what they thought, and said loudly: "Of course, the most important thing to remember as a human being is your original intention.
Once you are a robber, you will be a robber all your life. I, Li Daoqiang, have never been ashamed of this, but rather proud of it.
Moreover, I have long been accustomed to being a robber, and I can never change it. Even if I change my name, I will still be an upright and aboveboard robber, and no one can stop me.
I have also heard about the discussions that the brothers have had these past few days. Those discussions have been abandoned and are not allowed to be mentioned again.
From today on, although Black Dragon Village has become Black Dragon City, except for no longer blocking roads, other rules remain unchanged.
Directly announce to the world that I, Li Daoqiang, am still the big robber, and all the rules remain unchanged. "
The eyes of most of the people below changed slightly, and they frowned secretly.
Everyone understood that Li Daoqiang still wanted to be that robber and refused to give up his identity as a robber.
It's very outrageous, as if the robbers and bandits succeeded in the uprising and became the emperor, but instead of being the emperor, they continued to be bandits.
Does Li Daoqiang really not care about his 'name' at all?
Most of the people were disappointed. Few people were willing to let the princes and nobles go wrong and insist on being a robber.
More importantly, Li Daoqiang doesn't care about that name, which shows that he is still in an unscrupulous state and mentality. There are really not many people who like such a boss.
Even a little restraint would be good.
But no matter how reluctant it is, no one dares to object. Whether it is the Black Dragon Village in the past or the Black Dragon City now, its existence is deformed and unreasonable.
To put it bluntly, there is only one basis for its existence, the existence of Li Daoqiang himself.
"Yes." Everyone responded together.
"Well, okay, let's not talk about business today. Let's have a drink tonight." Li Daoqiang showed a generous smile.
The banquet was quickly set up, Li Daoqiang took the lead and started drinking with everyone, and the hall became lively in an instant.
After staying for more than an hour, Li Daoqiang took the lead to leave, followed by Yin Zhong, Sunflower Patriarch and several others also left alone.
The atmosphere in the main hall did not weaken, and seemed to be more lively.
In the corridor on the left side of the Black Dragon Palace, Li Daoqiang walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, and Xiong Ba followed behind. The domineering and gloomy look on his body in the past was completely restrained, and there was a look of respect on his face.
"It's hard work for you to be in charge of the overall situation outside the customs alone, and for you to come all the way here." Li Daoqiang said with a smile.
"Thank you City Lord for your concern. This is what I should do." Xiongba replied without hesitation, his face became more respectful, and there was no trace of the nervousness or vigilance in his heart.
"Hey, what's going on outside the customs now?" Li Daoqiang asked casually.
Xiongba began to talk in detail.
After a long while, Li Daoqiang nodded, without expressing any opinion, but said seriously: "From now on, outside the pass will eventually come under the rule of my Black Dragon City. You must be prepared, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Xiong Ba responded immediately, his heart becoming heavier and heavier.
Still can't escape.
"By the way, you and Youruo haven't seen each other for a long time. I feel ashamed of you and your daughter, but for the sake of my great cause in Black Dragon City, I can only wrong you a little. I hope you don't have any thoughts." Li Daoqiang said. Thinking of something, he sighed slightly.
Xiong Ba's heart was awe-inspiring, and a hint of panic arose, and he immediately lowered his head and said: "For the great cause of the city lord, my subordinates will not hesitate to die."
"Don't say anything about immortality." Li Daoqiang waved his hand, stopped and turned around to look at Xiongba, patted his shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Youruo is a good girl, innocent, lively, cute and beautiful. I like her very much. She treats him as a relative.
Maybe we will all be a family in the future, what do you think? "
Xiong Ba couldn't help but clenched his hands, his heart that had always been extremely vigilant was trembling, and he didn't reply for a while, as if he was enduring something.
Li Daoqiang was not in a hurry, just looked at him with a smile, waiting for his response.
After three breaths, Xiongba seemed to react. He bowed his head deeply and said respectfully: "I have lost my temper for a moment. Please forgive me, City Lord."
"It's all small things, we're all part of the same family, what do you think?" Li Daoqiang smiled angrily and asked again.
Xiongba paused for a moment and then said solemnly: "The city lord is the supreme being in the world. Whatever he says, it will be whatever he says. There is no objection from his subordinates."
"Hahaha, okay, let's go see You Ruo, she misses you too." Li Daoqiang smiled.
"Yes, I'm resigning." Xiong Ba bowed and disappeared quickly.
"Do you think he is pretending? Or does he really love his daughter?" Li Daoqiang asked with interest.
As he spoke, Shi Zhixuan's figure walked out of the darkness not far away, "Whether Xiong Ba is pretending or not, he can't escape the grasp of your city lord."
"You can't say that. If he is sincere, for You Ruo's sake, I will always give him some face. After all, we will probably be a family in the future." Li Daoqiang said seriously.
Shi Zhixuan was silent. When it came to matters between Li Daoqiang and women, he didn't want to get involved.
Li Daoqiang did not force him to join in, and said calmly: "What's wrong?"
"There are quite a few people who have connections with major forces these days, but most of them are normal. I think they don't dare to betray the city lord.
As for all the forces in the Song Kingdom, they have already set off and are rushing towards our Black Dragon City, and no one is ignoring them.
In the north, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan also set out. The rest of the martial arts forces either surrendered, were destroyed, or went south due to the Meng Yuan, and have long been insignificant.
Not surprisingly, the northern countries have secretly reached an agreement to advance and retreat together, mainly Mongolia and Yuan.
As long as Meng Yuan is defeated, they will surrender. "Shi Zhixuan said calmly, telling the situation in the north and south in just a few words.
(sleep.)
