It only took Lang Hua one day to get from Fengwei Mountain to Qingshi, but it took double the time on the way back.
When these two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the end of the morning light, cheers could be heard from the walls outside Langya City.
"Deputy City Lord! It's the Deputy City Lord!"
"The deputy city lord is back!"
"Hurry and report to the City Lord and Director Duan!"
"Open the door! Open the city gate below!"
…
Above the head is a taller and larger star-shaped fortress, and not far away stands the shocking blood-walled castle.
Surrounded by the morning light, the two walked into the gate of the outer city of Langya City one after another.
At this time, many familiar faces have appeared on the roadside.
They laughed, crowded, and noisily greeted Lang Hua.
"Deputy City Lord, we haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yes, we heard from Director Duan and others that you were looking for a place to break through this time."
"Chief, have you gained anything from this outing? Are you not injured? You must have been promoted."
"Look at you who have no eyesight. You see that the leader's steps are steady and his demeanor is more extraordinary than before. He must have been promoted successfully!"
…
Lang Hua smiled at these people and responded to them one by one.
He only said that he found a few groups of corpses in the surrounding districts and counties of Shashi to practice with, and he was not injured. Please don't worry.
After spending a long time at the city gate, more and more people gathered here.
Many migrant workers who were building and strengthening the city wall put down their work and wanted to take a look at this legendary deputy city lord who was unparalleled in the world.
There were also some women who were setting up stalls and doing small businesses in the outer city markets and came over to join in the fun.
These women were attentive and sharp-eyed, and they immediately spotted Xiao Ying standing in front of Lang Hua.
This guy was wearing a loose shirt, he had white skin and big eyes, and the half of his arms that exposed the sleeves were pink and tender. He looked very cute.
"Ah, someone's little girl is so handsome right now."
"Little Nini, how old are you this year? What's your name?"
Someone else magically escaped from his arms with a piece of candy wrapped in a handkerchief, smiling and waving to Xiaoying:
"Little girl, come here, Auntie will give you toffee."
However, Xiaoying seems to be unable to adapt to such a scene.
As soon as he saw the enthusiastic aunties extending their hands, he quickly grabbed Lang Hua's clothes and blocked his face, and hid behind Lang Hua in a panic.
It was as if those rough hands were the claws of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
"Oh, she's still shy, hahaha."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, just leave the candy to your precious grandson."
"Yes, if you don't want to give it, it will melt if you cover it for two more days."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
At this time, a girl with braids walked in from the separate crowd.
Lang Hua took a closer look and found that it was Caiyun who was leading the construction team here.
"Deputy City Lord!"
Caiyun also looked surprised when she saw Lang Hua.
Two big black braids were placed on her chest. Her eyes were bright and energetic, and she looked very energetic.
Since following
After inheriting the earth-type ability "Xi Soil", Caiyun has gradually grown into an ability user who can stand alone.
Usually when Lin Qian is not at the base, she and Xing Wutian work together to strengthen the city defense.
"What? Are you on duty here today?" Lang Hua asked.
"Well, Sister Qian, Sister Qing, and the others are all at the City Lord's Mansion now."
As she answered, she glanced towards Xiaoying, and it was obvious that she was quite curious about the latter's identity.
"My Healing Game"
"Deputy City Lord, do you want to go over now?"
Lang Hua nodded and said, "Well, you should put down your work first and come with me."
…
Passing through the outer city along the long street, I met Xing Wutian and Zheng Yueying at the gate of the inner city.
Lang Hua took them with him. When they reached the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, many people had already come out to greet them.
Looking around, from the Yang couple, Lin Wenjin and his daughter, to Haiping, Lan Xi and Duan Qing siblings.
Basically, the people in charge who led the team to fight outside have returned to the city today. It seems that they got the news of Lang Hua's return today from Fu Lianhe, so they rushed back from various districts in Shashi.
"Uncle Yang, Uncle Lin, how is the situation over there in Shashi?"
"Everything is going well, and many factories are preparing to resume production. The next batch of high borosilicate reagent bottles are already being produced."
"Yes, there is someone over there in Shashi who has information, so you can rest assured."
Not many people came to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion to handle business today. As soon as Lang Hua appeared, everyone dropped other things and turned to look over.
Yang Bensheng asked at this time: "Xiaohua, are you not in any danger?"
Li Liping came over at this time and said, "Yes, I heard from your Uncle Yang that there are many black beasts in the sea near Qingshi, and they are more difficult to deal with than the monsters on land."
She also looked around Lang Hua, looking carefully.
Looking at it like this, she really saw some traces of battle on Lang Hua.
"Is it possible that... you have already fought with the sea beast? Huh? Your aura... you were injured, and twice. What happened?"
Lang Hua could only scratch his head and said sheepishly: "It's a long story, but in short, isn't he back in full?"
"you……"
Li Liping wanted to say something at this time, but Lin Wenjin winked at her and said:
"Okay, okay, Xiaohua has been gone for a day, let's go in and talk first."
Then she nodded and stopped talking.
When the group of people came to the council hall on the fourth floor of the City Lord's Mansion and closed the door, Li Liping's face suddenly dropped.
Looking at Lang Hua standing obediently in front of the table, her usual gentle face was gone, replaced by a stern expression.
Lang Hua, who lowered his head, was taller, while Li Liping, who stood upright, actually only reached the opponent's chin.
But at this moment, the bystanders felt that she was taller than Lang Hua.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but think: The mistress of Langya City is really worthy of her name...
When the atmosphere is tense, the person involved is the most uncomfortable.
At this time, Lang Hua was like a primary school student being scolded by his head teacher. Every second felt like a year had passed.
without
After a while, he couldn't hold back and apologized: "Actually, I just... uh... had a normal fight, and I won, right? Besides, fighting is not commonplace at this time, so I will suffer some injuries." It’s normal to have some blood.”
"A little injured and bleeding? You put it lightly." Li Liping pointed at the clothes on Lang Hua and said, "Tell yourself, are the clothes you are wearing the same ones you wore when you went out? What kind of battle can break all the clothes? Now? Is it still commonplace... commonplace food can seriously injure a person twice?"
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and suddenly she asked as if she had discovered something: "And why do you only have this single piece of clothing on you? Where is the personal soft armor that Wu Ke made for you? Could it be that the battle was so brutal that even the snake scales were broken..."
As she talked, Li Liping believed her guess.
She hurriedly grabbed Lang Hua's wrist and pulled a ray of Bingqinglian energy into Lang Hua's body to explore.
"How is it?" Yang Bensheng asked.
After a while, Li Liping said quietly, "It's okay, no hidden injuries. And... I've even advanced to the first level."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
"Wait...what did you mean by promotion?"
"The deputy city lord has been promoted to another level? Not the first level, but the first level?"
"It was the early stage of the fourth level before, so now it is the fifth level??"
"Good guy, City Lord Yang is still in the middle of the fourth level, and there has been no movement for a long time..."
"The deputy city lord has caught up so quickly?"
"hiss--"
At the same time, everyone looked at Lang Hua as if they had seen a ghost.
Lang Hua admitted indifferently: "It was just a fluke, it's just the early stage of the fifth level."
"Fifth level, it's just the early stage to pay him back." Lin Wenjin rolled his eyes wildly and said he couldn't stand it anymore.
After hearing Lang Hua's admission of promotion, Li Liping immediately put away her stern look and glared at Lang Hua reproachfully.
Li Liping's information was astonishing, and it did not exceed Lang Hua's expectations.
This is also related to her character and her career as a surgeon before the disaster. No matter what she encounters, Li Liping can observe more carefully than others.
In addition, Lang Hua didn't want to hide anything from his own people, so it was time to find time to make it clear to everyone about the Black Mist Condensation Core.
This trip to Qingshi may be a good opportunity.
"You, you, are all deputy city lords, and you don't know the severity yet. If something happens to you, what will you do to the 12,000 people living in Langya City? What will you do to me and your Uncle Yang? manage……"
Lang Hua grinned broadly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. There are still you and Uncle Yang Shulin in the base."
Unexpectedly, Li Liping looked at him and said seriously: "You know, Xiaohua. This place can be without me, without you, Uncle Yang, and without many people, but it can't be without you. Remember, if next time..."
Seeing this, Lang Hua quickly raised his hands and surrendered: "I promise, I will take Hai Ping, Lan Xi and the others with me next time."
His assurance stopped Li Liping from talking.
Li Liping knew that for a character like Lang Hua, no matter how much she said, it would be useless.
For this reason, she could only look at the other party with a resentful look, and sighed sourly: "That's all, you have greater responsibilities now and your wings have become stronger. I can't control you."
