In the office of the city lord's palace.
Xue Yun sat slumped on the sofa, looking out the window at the lawn, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment——
An Ruxuan and Zhao Lihua were playing outside with their two little guys. If Hu Kui hadn't suddenly appeared, everyone would have been embarrassed to death by the twins.
"Didn't I say that I would send a car to pick you up?"
He personally poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Yun.
Picked up a cigarette.
Hu Kui sat down slowly and joked: "I didn't expect that you were quite conscious this time. You didn't need me to send someone to invite you at all. You came in advance yourself."
He sighed helplessly.
Xue Yun shrugged his shoulders, picked up the tea cup in front of him, raised his head and took a swig of water.
"Don't mention it."
Shaked his head.
Xue Yun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Last night, I almost tortured me to death. Now there are a lot of people in my family. If you come to your place as soon as possible, at least you can stay in peace..."
No matter how conscious he was, he really couldn't stay at home at all.
All the topics in the crowd revolved around the bed between him and An Ruxuan last night. Xue Yun was a grown man and it didn't matter to him, but girls were thin-skinned, so it was better to take An Ruxuan to the city lord's mansion to hide.
"last night?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Glancing at An Ruxuan on the lawn outside the window, a wisp of smoke escaped from the corner of Hu Kui's mouth, and he said with a strange expression: "Can it be said that you two..."
"Okay, stop it!"
Raise your hand column.
Xue Yun suddenly burst into laughter and quickly changed the subject: "Business matters. Yesterday you said you wanted to talk to me alone. Now we are the only ones in the office. How about it? Have you thought of a way to deal with the imperial army?"
Although they had previously defeated Fengdu's army.
But today, the territory of Longdu is still not peaceful. In addition to the forces in the three major fortress cities, the biggest threat is the tens of thousands of troops from the imperial city of Hudu.
This force is not only well-equipped, but also has countless experts. It is not as easy to deal with as imagined.
"Don't be anxious. If you want peace in the world, it won't happen overnight."
The bullet dropped a plume of cigarette ash.
Hu Kui shook his head silently and sighed: "What's more, today's Great Xia Empire is already riddled with holes, and princes from all over the country are rising up. It is definitely not a headache for our Longdu family."
Except the Imperial City and Hudu.
The eleven fortresses and cities of the Great Xia Empire were in charge of their own affairs. Some had their roots wiped out and fled, and some chose to retain their strength and stay behind closed doors. However, more princes were like the Phoenix Capital, taking the initiative to assess the situation and simply take action. It describes the opportunists who bully the weak and fear the strong in troubled times.
The huge empire of human civilization has long since fallen apart and exists in name only!
He raised his eyebrows.
Xue Yun put down the teacup and asked, "So, what do you mean..."
"To be honest, what Dragon City really needs today is morale."
He took a drag of his cigarette silently.
Hu Kui looked moved and said in a deep voice: "Since the death of my father and Bei Gong Mu, the world has thought that Longdu has lost its support. Especially, in the end, even you disappeared for many years without any reason. Almost all forces regard us as It’s a soft persimmon, so I think you can knead it as you like.”
In troubled times, everything is based on strength.
If you want to gain a foothold in the dealings of all forces, having absolute force as a deterrent is an indispensable condition.
If you continue to be weak, you will inevitably get beaten——
This is a basic rule that will never be changed.
"But, it's different now."
The conversation suddenly changed.
Hu Kui slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with sharpness, and said bluntly: "Because, you are back..."
Return to your hometown and become famous in one battle.
Xue Yun, with only one man's strength, drove back tens of thousands of Fengdu's troops, and even captured the opponent's general alive.
His tyrannical strength and extraordinary bravery are witnessed by almost everyone.
"As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct..."
He snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.
Hu Kui's eyes were blazing and he said solemnly: "In fact, the position of Minister of Longdu's War Preparedness Department has always been vacant. It's time for you to share the responsibilities and obligations for me."
The implication is that it already stands out.
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun couldn't help but froze on the spot. After a brief moment of astonishment, he finally showed an indescribable bitter smile.
"I know you are not the kind of person who is greedy for power."
He pondered for a moment.
Hu Kui sighed softly and also laughed dumbly: "In your heart, freedom is more important than anything else. You have never wanted to be constrained by these false names. In fact, I am not like that."
"but......"
There was a pause.
Hu Kui took a deep breath and said word by word: "Some things always need people to do it."
The whole person was stunned.
Xue Yun's eyes widened, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and inexplicable ripples suddenly rippled in his heart.
"Xue Yun, brother, I need your help..."
Narrow your eyes.
Hu Kui in front of him secretly gritted his teeth and continued in a deep voice: "Today's Longdu also needs you to take charge of the overall situation!"
In an instant.
The whole office suddenly became quiet, to the point where you could hear a pin drop.
"Your grandfather has seen people forcing girls into prostitution, but he has never seen anyone force people to become officials..."
I couldn't help but cursed.
Xue Yun suddenly crossed his legs, pretending to be helpless and said: "Come on, it's settled, I will be responsible for the Longdu War Preparedness Department first!"
Not waiting for Hu Kui to react.
Xue Yun stepped forward and snatched the cigarette from his hand, took one out, lit it on his own, puffed out smoke and said, "But first, we have to make a three-part agreement!"
"You guy..."
Grinning.
Hu Kui nodded immediately and responded: "Okay, as long as you are willing to take charge of the overall situation, no matter what the conditions, just speak casually."
"First!"
He stretched out his index finger and shook it.
Xue Yun said in a deep voice: "From now on, all matters related to the War Preparedness Department can only be subject to my instructions. Other departments are not allowed to interfere with the decisions of the War Readiness Department, including you."
"no problem."
Spread your hands.
Hu Kui readily agreed to this request.
"second......"
Narrow your eyes.
Xue Yun's expression was serious as he continued: "Any individual or group in the city must unconditionally cooperate with my work, especially those damn powerful and powerful families. They must not be allowed to interfere with them and violate them. At this critical moment, you, the city lord, must Step forward to calm the situation, otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry on the spot and killing them directly!"
The apocalyptic wasteland era.
The major powerful families are the mainstay of the upper echelons of society. Many powerful night watchmen are the descendants of these families. Even the lords of the princes and cities occasionally have to show some favor to these families.
after all.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Listen to the opinions of the major powerful families in the city, organize and pool the power of these families for your own use.
This is almost a required course for the lord of a fortress city...
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Hu Kui thought for a moment, and finally nodded reluctantly.
"at last--"
He raised his eyebrows.
A smirk appeared at the corner of Xue Yun's mouth, he stretched out his hand and shook his five fingers, emphasizing: "Since it is a job, we have to calculate the salary clearly. My price is not cheap. It seems that we have been in love for many years." Come on, I'll give you a 95% discount at most, so you kid can't even think of defaulting on it!"
ah? !
I couldn't help being stunned.
Hu Kui was speechless for a moment, and he completely lost his temper towards Xue Yun.
