Volume 5 Chapter 31 Mother and Daughter
Thousands of miles south of Wujian City, in the wilderness and wild forests, three battleships stood majestically.
There are three battleships, one large and two small, with a red skull logo prominently placed on the hull.
The Bloody Skeletons are a large force. Although they own three battleships, they have not established a sect. They are the most powerful bandits in the Wind Wolf Region.
More than ten years ago, eleven major forces in the Wind Wolf Territory joined forces to drive the bloody skeleton out of the Wind Wolf Territory.
They actually came back?
What are they plotting?
…
Wu Jian City.
In the auditorium of Tianyun Building.
The Xuanshuang Sword Sect's annual gathering is in full swing.
The city lords, mine owners, and patrol team captains of various towns and cities took turns reporting to Feng Hanshuang on the past year's situation in order. Anyone who completed the goals set at the last meeting could obtain some training resources from Mo Qianqian. The so-called cultivation resources, in addition to the several types of elixirs that Bai Fei helped to refine, also include a variety of elixirs and even weapons, magic weapons, or some low-level but practical talismans.
At the same time, based on what he learned, Feng Hanshuang will also record next year's mission goals in the account book. Some will increase, some will stay the same, and some will decrease appropriately. But no matter which situation it is, the parties involved have no objection.
Some are happy and some are sad!
Among them, there are those who have received generous rewards, and naturally there are also those who have received little or even empty-handed rewards, but fortunately, nothing has happened that is so exaggerated that they need to be replaced.
This is a good thing!
As for the relevant patrol teams, in addition to getting some training resources from Xuanshuang Sword Sect at this time, they are usually tied to various towns and mines. They cannot miss such gatherings. In addition to the previous reason, There is also an obligation to provide additional explanations for various situations.
The city lord in front happily took back the storage ring from Mo Qianqian, bowed and returned to the stage.
The next person who came to the stage was a man in his fifties. Like those before him, he was not of a high level.
Bai Fei knew from the account books that his name was Zhu Tianchuan and he was responsible for managing an immortal crystal mine.
Zhu Tianchuan placed the storage ring on the table in front of Feng Hanshuang, then stood respectfully with his hands down.
Bai Fei saw that his hands were shaking a little.
As his spiritual thoughts entered the storage ring, Feng Hanshuang's face suddenly darkened.
"Tell me about it!" she said slowly.
Zhu Tianchuan couldn't help but shudder, took a deep breath, and said: "Elder, in the past year, the output of Mine No. 5 was not low. We even unearthed some medium-grade or even high-grade fairy crystals, but... But when we were settling the accounts, we were suddenly attacked by several powerful men, all the fairy crystals were plundered, and Captain Ling was also injured."
Feng Hanshuang's face turned cold, and she turned her gaze to Ling Zeliang, the captain of the No. 5 mine patrol team who was waiting at the bottom of the stage. The latter quickly walked up to the stage.
Bai Fei saw that he was in the eighth level of the Immortal Immortal Realm, but his expression was a little depressed at this time, and he was obviously injured.
"Captain Ling, what do you have to say?" Feng Hanshuang asked.
"Back to the elder, I wish what the mine owner said is true. I led the patrol team to fight with those people. I was ashamed and failed to take down the opponent. Fortunately, the opponent seemed to be afraid of something, so he did not attack us. Instead of being ruthless, they were busy escaping. Their subordinates chased them all the way, and finally saw them go up.
A battleship was built, and there was a very obvious skull mark on the battleship. "
Bloody skull? When did they come back? He also took aim at Xuanshuang Sword Sect! Feng Hanshuang felt a chill in her heart.
"I will investigate this clearly. If the situation is true, I will not punish you, but you must also remember, don't take it lightly because it has always been calm. I hope you can learn from this lesson. Captain Ling, you can come Get some healing elixirs from Qianqian, and as for the mine owner, you go down first!"
"Thank you, elder!" Zhu Tianchuan took back the storage ring and resigned respectfully. This was the best result he could think of.
In the next hour or so, there were no unexpected situations like before, and most people got their rewards.
Bai Fei looked away from the account book and looked at the two people coming up.
The account book clearly states that the woman who is coming up now is Yan Dai'e, the city lord of Qianshu City. The account book is also specifically marked with the word "widow". So what does it mean that she brought a girl of about ten years old with her?
"That is Sister Yan's daughter Zhao Zhu'er. Sister Yan is a miserable person. Her husband lost his footing and fell off the cliff shortly after Zhu'er was born..." Feng Hanshuang's gentle voice penetrated Bai Fei's ears.
Bai Fei nodded imperceptibly, but he was thinking in his heart: Senior sister, can you also scream? She is obviously not as old as you, yet you still call her sister?
It is not that a woman has never appeared before as the leader of a city. The only woman who appeared once was just the captain of a certain patrol team. Bai Fei still remembered that her name was Lu Ruoyan, because she looked quite charming. His heroic appearance and the fact that there were only a few women left a deep impression on him.
Although she has witnessed this kind of scene many times and is the lord of a city, Yan Dai'e still looks a little nervous, not to mention her daughter Zhao Zhu'er, who is holding on tightly to her mother's skirt.
Feng Hanshuang smiled at Yan Dai'e, who relaxed a little and handed over the storage ring.
Shen Nian left the storage ring, Feng Hanshuang looked at Yan Dai'e, who gradually lowered her head.
After a long time, Feng Hanshuang sighed softly and said, "Sister Yan, you can have one or two, but you can't have three."
Yan Dai'e lowered her head and said: "My subordinates will not make things difficult for the elders. I cannot absolve myself of the blame for my incompetence in doing things. I voluntarily resigned from my position as the Lord of Thousand Trees City. I only hope that the elders will allow my subordinates to return to Wujian City to do their best." It’s hard work.”
"You!... Thousand Tree City is not a small city, and you have the ability to manage it. This situation will not happen again and again. As the city lord, you have repeatedly adopted lenient methods, and you can't stand those poor people... Alas! Forget it, originally I thought I made a wise decision, but now it seems that it may not be good for you."
"Thank you, elder, for your kindness!" Yan Dai'e pulled her daughter Zhao Zhuer to her knees, but Feng Hanshuang did not stop her.
"Elder, I have something to say." A man's voice came from one side of the stage.
"Captain Zhu Chengwei, I know what you want to say. Forget it, I will send someone else to manage Qianshu City. I also hope that you can get along well with the new city lord. Now, you can go to Qianqian and take away the reward you deserve. ." Feng Hanshuang said lightly.
Zhu Chengwei came on stage, glanced at Yan Dai'e who was still kneeling on the ground, then bowed to Feng Hanshuang, and went to take the reward.
"Get up!"
After Yan Dai'e and Zhao Zhu'er got up, Feng Hanshuang continued: "Xuanshuang Sword Sect has clear rewards and punishments. If you deserve rewards, you will reward them, and if you deserve punishments, you will be punished. Yan Dai'e, you have suffered losses for three consecutive years.
Kong, from today on, you will no longer serve as the city lord of Qianshu City. In addition, you will also be punished with three years of hard labor in Tianyun Tower. Do you have any objections? "
Yan Dai'e naturally has no objection. For her, as long as she can stay in Wujian City, she is already satisfied.
However, before she could express her position, her daughter Zhao Zhuer suddenly said: "Sister Fairy, please don't hit my mother, okay?"
As soon as the childish voice came out, Feng Hanshuang almost lost his composure.
Seeing that Yan Dai'e was about to stop her, she immediately waved her hand and said to Zhao Zhuer: "Zhu'er, I won't beat your mother, but if your mother did something wrong, I must give you a certain punishment..."
"Zhu'er knows..." Seeing Feng Hanshuang's pleasant expression, Zhao Zhu'er could not help but feel more courageous, and continued: "Sister Fairy, although Zhu'er is young, she also knows some things."
"Oh, then tell me." Feng Hanshuang said with a smile.
"Sister Fairy, I know that our mission in Thousand Trees City has not been completed, but this is not my mother's fault! My mother is here to help those big brothers and sisters who are in need. She is not even willing to buy toys for Zhu'er on weekdays! My mother is Tell Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, we are satisfied if we have a place to stay. You have to remember that this is given to us by the Xuanshuang Sword Sect. We must be grateful. There are still many people in Qianshu City who don't have enough to eat." Brother and sister, how can you be so playful! Sister Fairy, do you think my mother is right?"
"Yes, your mother is right, but..."
"Sister Fairy, all the brothers and sisters in Qianshu City like my mother very much. Can you let my mother continue to be the city lord? I promise you that I will replace my mother in the Tianyun Tower for three years. Sister Fairy, don't look at it. I’m young, so I can do any chores.”
Feng Hanshuang didn't know what to say for a moment. She glanced at Bai Fei subconsciously, but saw that the other person was indifferent, as if waiting to see her joke. She couldn't help but bite her lips lightly, and her thoughts quickly came to her mind.
"Zhuer, you can do any job. Can you cook?"
"What's wrong with that? My mother always praises Zhuer for her craftsmanship!" Zhao Zhuer said proudly.
"Let's do that, Pearl! From now on, how about you stay in Xuanshuang Sword Sect and cook for us? If you behave well, maybe you will become the fourth generation disciple of Xuanshuang Sword Sect."
Yan Dai'e immediately became excited.
Zhao Zhuer had no such awareness and asked herself: "Then will my mother still be the city lord?"
"That won't work. Not only can you no longer be the city lord, but you will also have to work hard in Tianyun Tower for three years. But...but I promise you that you can come down to see your mother when you are free. Moreover, after three years, if You can become the fourth generation disciple of Xuanshuang Sword Sect, and I will take your mother to the mountain, can you accept it?"
Zhao Zhuer thought for a long time, tilted her head and looked at her mother, and saw that her mouth was trembling, as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
"I accept." Finally, the childish voice resounded in the auditorium where a pindrop could be heard.
After the mother and daughter came off the stage, the reporting process continued for two full hours.
Except for Mine No. 5 and Thousand Tree City, other conditions are considered normal. Generally speaking, in the past year, everyone has completed the set tasks conscientiously.
Among them, Bai Fei met another female city lord. She was much stronger than Yan Dai'e. The town she managed was not as good as Thousand Tree City, and her realm was not even as good as Yan Dai'e's. However, the share she handed over far exceeded the stipulated task target.
Bai Fei paid close attention.
The account book reads: Night Wind City, City Lord Shi Linyao.
