"Why are you here, Captain?"
"Why don't you introduce yourself?"
"Haha..." The man smiled, "The name is just a code name. It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I'll ask you, do you think your name is important?"
"Of course, it's just for you personally."
name......
Li Yi chewed on the other party's words and felt that the other party meant something, but it had no direct relationship with the purpose of his coming here.
"I'm not going to fight you, but I'm going to ask you, where are you going to put those players?"
"Haha, Captain, you shouldn't ask me about this, but you should ask yourself! You know, these players you are talking about were not brought in by me."
The other party still looked leisurely and contented, and spoke in an unhurried tone. Facing Li Yi's questioning, he did not show any emotion at all. Li Yi could feel that the other party's emotions did not fluctuate at all.
But he still understood the other party's words, and his tone became sharper. At the same time, the air in this world also changed due to his emotions.
"You mean you don't want to take care of it?"
"Let me put it this way, actually from the beginning, I didn't plan to do anything. Many things were forced." At this point, the city lord put down the teacup in his hand and said leisurely.
"As for what happened in the city hall before, I apologize to you and promise that it will not happen again in the future. The relevant personnel will also be punished and I promise to satisfy you."
This can be regarded as a compromise, but this is not what Li Yi came here for, and he still refuses to give up.
"So you are planning to avoid the important and take the easy way out?"
"I have already said that the players you are talking about have nothing to do with me. I do not deny that they have made a lot of contributions to this city. I have also given them corresponding status and treatment. As for those who will contribute to this city in the future If you are dissatisfied with our development, then I can only say sorry."
Hearing this, Chen Muran couldn't help but speak.
"Even if it goes against your opinion, you shouldn't expel all the senators from the parliament at once, right? What's the difference between that and a dictator?"
Hearing this, the city lord showed a rare solemn look on his face.
"I know how you feel, and I also understand that you think the future development of this city should be as you imagined, but have you ever considered one thing?"
"Do you think this city will continue to develop in such a stable and worry-free way?"
Seeing Chen Muran's confused look, the city lord said again.
"Don't forget, this city was built next to Stormwind City. Do you think Anduin would watch a city that does not belong to his rule develop and grow around him?"
Hearing this, Chen Muran couldn't help but cast his eyes on Li Yi.
In his opinion, shouldn't this red clay base belong to the regiment leader?
However, Li Yi quickly gave him the answer.
"He's right. According to the original agreement, Anduin just gave me a piece of land to develop an army for his use, which is the origin of the National Guard Army, because he needed an army of his own at the beginning. His own militarized troops, and my arrival just gave him an excellent opportunity without attracting the attention of others."
"It is an army composed entirely of descendants. No king will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." City Lord Yifanfa added, and then said, "In fact, in the past few years since you were away, almost every year There were several times when Anduin would send someone to convey some wishes. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I could tell that he was very interested in this city.”
"No one would be uninterested in a city that has developed to this size in just a few years, not to mention that legally speaking, this city already belongs to him."
Having said this, Li Yi was a little helpless. He finally understood why the current lord of Red Earth City did what he did.
It's not that he wants to monopolize power, nor does he want to squeeze out the elders, but he wants to try his best to reduce the imprint of Li Yi's era as much as possible so that he can gain more say in negotiations.
Because urban development does not depend on size, in the final analysis, it still depends on people.
Now he finally understood the other party's intentions.
So those conniving behaviors the other party did?
All at once, he understood the other party's true intention of turning a blind eye to those shady behaviors.
The city lord seemed to understand his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Well, in that case, there's nothing more to say."
Now that he understands the other party's intentions and the current situation of Red Earth City, Li Yi will not be too entangled.
"Then what are your plans for the future? Are you just going to waste your time like this?"
"That's why I'm here waiting for you today. I believe you are a sensible person, so I have another request for your help."
The city lord said bluntly.
"Can I help you?"
To be honest, Li Yi has never seen such a person. He obviously came to trouble him, but in the end, he actually made a request to himself.
Is there something wrong with this matter?
But everything was reasonable and logical. He didn't refuse on the spot, but he also made his request.
"Okay, but you have to agree to a condition first."
"I know, I can guarantee this."
As if waiting for him, as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party nodded and told his next plan.
After listening, Li Yi felt it was reasonable for some reason, but he still looked at Chen Muran, after all, the other party was the person involved.
"Can."
After hearing the other party's plan, Chen Muran pondered for a while, seemed to have secretly discussed it with some of his companions, and finally nodded and agreed to the other party's plan.
And this was what the city lord expected.
"Okay, now I'm going to tell you my request."
Li Yi nodded: "Tell me, if there is anything you need my help with."
…
It didn't take long for Li Yi to leave alone. After returning to the city hall, Li Yi called Xiao Lu, and then came to Stormwind City without stopping.
Looking at the main city where he had just arrived in the past, some memories of the past came to mind. The guards at the city gate were no longer the same soldiers as before, but replaced by several younger and unfamiliar faces.
After checking the identity documents and completing the interrogation, Li Yi took Xiaolu and stepped into this magnificent city again.
Compared to a few years ago, Stormwind City today seems more prosperous, and there are many more shops on the streets that were not there before. The goods sold look much higher-end than those in Stormwind City in the past. For example, Li Yi saw a The store is full of all kinds of technological equipment. Although the items inside are not classified, household appliances and industrial equipment are all mixed together for sale. You can even see some technological products that can be used for military purposes also placed on the table. Seems a bit nondescript.
And judging from the appearance of the shop owner, it was obvious that he didn't know the true purpose of these things.
But this does not prevent him from enthusiastically introducing products to customers.
"Hello, customer, come and take a look at the latest goods in the store. Oh! You are so discerning. This is the latest technology product from the Red Earth City next door. What do you mean by technology? Oh my god, you must be the customer. Are you from out of town? This is the most popular word in Stormwind City recently. Although I don’t know what it means, it doesn’t stop me from recommending it to you. Take a look!”
At this point, the shopkeeper, who didn't know or care what technology meant, took out something from behind the counter.
It was a handheld vacuum cleaner.
But then, his demonstration amazed everyone present, including Li Yidu.
After turning on the power, the shopkeeper pressed the switch, and the vacuum cleaner started buzzing. Then he made an action that Li Yi didn't expect.
He first took a wet towel and wet his face, then pointed the vacuum cleaner at his face, and then pressed it on his face without hesitation.
Li Yi:......
