On a sunny afternoon, the sun spread over most of the green lawn.
In front of the Longdu City Lord's Mansion, the workers responsible for irrigating the garden vegetation had already finished their work and gathered under the shade of the trees to enjoy the rare comfort.
In the conference room.
Hu Kui was puffing away while holding a cigarette in his mouth. The sparse white hair on his temples was particularly conspicuous, and the wrinkles on his face could not be concealed at all.
The white horse passes by, and the sun and moon fly by.
In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed by, and the young boy at that time has become an uncle who is over forty.
"An urgent message has been sent from Inu City..."
Narrow your eyes.
Hu Kui looked at the document in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Based on the gradual expansion of the scale of the war between the 'Aisha Principality' and the 'Sun Never Sets Empire' in the past six months, the Lord of Zhongli City hopes that our three major fortress cities in the hinterland of Daxia We will once again increase the number of troops deployed on the border, from the original 30,000 to 50,000."
Take a puff of cigarette.
Hu Kui put down the document, looked at the holographic screen in mid-air in the conference room, and asked in a deep voice: "Two of you, do you personally think this request is too much?"
In the screen in the void.
Jin Shijie and Gongsun Su looked at each other, hesitant for a moment.
As the saying goes, time is not forgiving.
The city lords of Fengdu and Snake City have long been replaced. The original boss Jin and Gongsun Youhai both consciously retired to the second line because of their old age.
The current city lords of the two major fortress cities are the same two people who were still young back then.
"It stands to reason that this should be the case. After all, we are all our own people. What's more, the Zhongli family has been stationed at the northern border all year round. It has indeed not been easy over the years."
Lift your chin.
Jin Shijie, who was obviously much older, sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "However, the men and horses we have on hand are not enough, especially Yangcheng on the southern coastline, which is also close to the Empire where the sun never sets. Preparing for war on two fronts is a bit stressful..."
Actually.
In the past twelve years, inexplicable conflicts and wars have broken out all over the world. Countless people have shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, and a large number of massacres have occurred frequently.
But what is gratifying is——
However, the major princes and city lords of the Great Xia Empire united and not only withstood the pressure from the outside, but also achieved peace in the country, and the population and economy have developed rapidly.
But the world is integrated after all.
There were raging flames burning in all directions, and it became increasingly difficult for Daxia to stay alone.
Especially the fortress cities located in border areas are coveted by outsiders all the time. It can be said that if you are not careful, you will fall into an irreversible situation.
"I understand what you mean."
He flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
Hu Kui took a deep breath and said helplessly: "But the objective factors are here. In order to prevent the war from burning into Daxia, we must spare no effort to support those allies on the border."
"I believe both of you should understand the truth behind dying lips and cold teeth..."
He put out the cigarette butt in his hand.
Hu Kui's eyes were bright and he emphasized: "If the Dog City or the Yang City are not protected, our country gate of Daxia will be kicked open by others, and no matter how many people there are, we will not be able to fill this hole."
As soon as these words came out.
The two newly promoted city lords fell into silence at the same time.
They actually know better than anyone else what the overall situation is, but their own difficulties do exist.
In recent years, the birth rate in the Daxia Empire has been getting lower and lower, and the probability of ordinary people awakening to force field talents after reaching the age of 20 has also dropped a lot year by year.
All of this also indirectly led to the failure of the Night Watch inheritance.
It was as if a certain valve in this world had suddenly been closed, revealing something inexplicably strange inside and out.
"Damn it, don't care!"
He slapped the table hard.
Gongsunsu, who was thirty years old, was still very heroic. He stood up and raised his hands and shouted: "Fifty thousand people are fifty thousand people. We can get it together with gritted teeth. At worst, I will issue a decree. As long as the couple has one more child, I will immediately Reward them 100,000 yuan!"
The forehead is covered with black lines.
The corner of Hu Kui's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he was already speechless at this guy's temperament.
But then again, the fertility reward system was actually implemented in Longdu three years ago.
But the problem is, it’s not that everyone doesn’t want to have a baby, it’s that it’s simply difficult to get pregnant.
This has become a major problem for the Daxia Empire and even the world.
He rubbed his temples.
Hu Kui let out a long breath and waved his hand: "Okay, this video conference will end here. You two will prepare. When we are all together, we will send them to Dog City together, as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute, where is the boss? Are they in Longdu?!"
Maybe it's because of habit.
The group of people who participated in the Suicide Squad still call Xue Yun their leader.
Even after becoming a powerful lord of a city, Jin Shijie could not get rid of this habit.
"I heard that three months ago, he alone killed a regular army of more than 10,000 people from the 'Sun Never Sets Empire' on the border of the Yangcheng coastline..."
There was a pause.
Jin Shijie asked cautiously: "So, is this true?"
"There aren't that many people, just over 8,000 enemy troops."
Lighted a cigarette again.
Hu Kui nodded and said calmly: "Moreover, it was not his fault alone. Tana also took action, and the battle was over in less than half an hour."
Hear the words.
Jin Shijie and Gongsun Su were stunned and speechless for a moment.
Good guy.
Even if the two of them take action together, this kind of record is enough for them to look up to.
You know, there are more than 8,000 heads. Even if you chop them with a knife, it will take three days and three nights to kill them all.
But the battle was over in just half an hour, which was a bit outrageous!
"I'm warning you two cheaters, don't bother him now!"
He took a drag of his cigarette silently.
Hu Kui narrowed his eyes, and a hint of sadness flashed between his eyebrows.
"Today is not only his daughter's birthday, but also the death anniversary of his wife."
A wisp of smoke escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Hu Kui closed his eyes and muttered: "In short, give that guy a little private space and don't disturb him."
The two people on the screen were stunned for a moment, and then nodded almost simultaneously in perfect agreement.
...
At the same time, in the rookie training camp located in the south of Longdu City.
A large group of boys and girls were gathering on the playground, and a thin young man was already surrounded in the middle.
"Haha, Gu Xiaoyi, you don't want to go anywhere today!"
The boy at the head was tall and tall, with an inexplicable anger in his brows.
In the middle of the crowd.
Gu Xiaoyi, who was already over 20 years old, narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowds in all directions. A sharp cold light flashed across his eyes in an instant.
"Don't you and the two brothers and sisters from the Hu family call themselves the Three Lowly Guests of Longdu?!"
The leading boy grinned and yelled angrily: "You never thought that you would be alone sometimes, right?!"
"Liao Yang, don't be proud."
He looked around cautiously.
Gu Xiaoyi has a thin body and has perfectly inherited the excellent genes of his father Xiao Gu. He seems to be extremely frail.
"If you are a man, if you have the ability, let's fight one on one. With so many helpers, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
He threw his head back and laughed.
The boy named Liao Yang put his hands on his hips, shook his head and said, "Don't do this to me. The three of you rely on your own power, and you usually don't do much to me. I just want to bully you today." few!"
A big wave of his hand.
With the rise of the biological force field, a huge armed monster immediately stepped out of the void.
Astonishingly, he is a "vehemoth mammoth" who is fully ten meters tall!
"Haha, if I can't offend the Hu brothers and sisters, how can I not offend the garbage born from a servant?!"
As soon as these words came out.
Gu Xiaoyi was startled suddenly, his eyes were immediately covered with mottled bloodshot eyes, and he had unknowingly had murderous intentions.
"Ouch, what I said was too strong. It turns out that a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth..."
suddenly--
A sound like a silver bell suddenly sounded.
Everyone hurriedly looked for a voice, only to see a small figure sitting on the railing not far from the playground, with two white feet swinging back and forth, looking very comfortable and at ease.
