I saw Feng Mingyuan again on the afternoon of the second day after Bailang attacked and massacred more than thirty people in the Liao family.
Bailang calmed down for a moment before personally reporting the detailed details to the city lord's palace. Firstly, he wanted to be as detailed as possible; secondly, he also wanted to spare some time so that he could observe the subtle changes in the surrounding situation.
Now the remaining two companies that disrupted the industrial park have withdrawn, and there is no new news yet. The entire industrial park is also rapidly returning to its previous pace. The blast furnaces are not stopping and the molten iron is constantly flowing. The bustling scene returns again.
The heads of the Zhou and Hou families were probably laughing their faces off while hiding at home. They certainly didn't expect that the cost of four shipments of food would be immediate results. Not to mention whether there will be recurrences in the future, for now, it is already worth the money, and now it has bought them a crucial period of repair time.
Only then did Bailang feel that the situation was temporarily stable, so he sorted out the details and reported them to the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, a copy of the rough news was sent to the city lord's palace that night.
This time I saw Feng Mingyuan in the study. Also with him is Zhou Zhonghao.
Different from the previous time when Feng Mingyuan's brows were filled with gloom, this time when we saw Feng Mingyuan again, he was smiling and full of energy. As soon as they met, he asked the attendant below to show Bailang his seat.
It was Bailang's first time to see Feng Mingyuan sitting on a stool.
"Bailang, I didn't expect you to act so quickly! You were so tough! It only took less than ten days to solve the industrial park's predicament. What's even more commendable is that so far, we haven't leaked our secrets, and even Even the ordnance was tightly covered.
Your contribution is not small! "
This was the first time Bailang heard the word "credit" in Feng Mingyuan's mouth. I don't know if it's because I'm too excited, or if I really think Bailang has some merit.
Of course, Bai Lang himself believed that Feng Mingyuan's mention of "credit" was mostly due to excitement. We can't expect a person who uses his knife shop as a chamber pot and can be used as a price to waste at will, to change so quickly.
I don’t regard you as one of my own, and I don’t even think about you as a human being. So Bai Lang didn't take Feng Mingyuan's words to heart at all. He was curious whether the pie that Feng Mingyuan drew for him would be honored, or whether he would just not mention it.
Bailang only sat on half of his buttocks. After hearing Feng Mingyuan's words of appreciation, he quickly raised his hands and said: "Bailang just did his job, and he doesn't deserve to be praised like this. And although the people in the industrial park ran away to death, Escape, but I don’t know if he will return later. If he comes back, the situation may change again."
"Hahaha! You are very humble. If someone else had made such a contribution, they would have wanted to be known all over the city. It's hard for you to be so calm. This is very good. To achieve great things, you need to be calm. OK.
You may not know what it means to get rid of those flies and mosquitoes this time. Because Liu Jianyu withstood my energy, they were ready to secretly take advantage of me. But opportunities don't come often. He dares to come once, but he may not dare to come a second time. Unless there are other variables.
So for the time being, the industrial park should be stable. This is much better than the limit I thought you could do before! "
Feng Mingyuan was indeed very happy, and laughed for a while while talking. He could imagine the faces of those guys who had suffered a lot. At this point, they probably haven’t figured out who was killing them, right? Including Liu Jianyu, everyone must be confused in the short term. This was a big blow to Feng Mingyuan, who had been suffering from cowardice for such a long time. It's like moving back to the same city.
"Bai Lang doesn't dare to ask for credit." You said you were being humble, so Bai Lang was naturally humble to the end.
However, Feng Mingyuan changed the subject later and said: "For the time being, you continue to guard the industrial park and continue to hide your methods. If anything happens, you can report it later. Now you can follow Zhou Zhonghao down to receive the reward."
After the matter was reported, Bailang didn't expect that there would be a reward. So he quickly stood up from the stool, thanked him with a big gift, and expressed his loyalty casually.
Zhou Zhonghao responded and led Bailang out of Feng Mingyuan's study, turning to the warehouse at the back of the city lord's mansion.
Show your belt, show the city lord's warrant, and then sign for it. After completing this series of procedures, Bailang had a brocade box in his hand.
"Master Zhou, what's inside?"
"Open it and take a look. Inside are three small Pei Yuan Pills and three Bone Strengthening Pills. There are also some gold and silver that will be sent to Ma Sheng Alley later, but they won't make any announcement about it. Just know it yourself." Zhou Zhonghao smiled and patted Bai Lang on the shoulder, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.
This posture means you have something to say! Bai Lang was surprised that Feng Mingyuan was so generous this time. At the same time, he was also curious about what Zhou Zhonghao was planning to say, as he left room for words.
"Lord Zhou, don't worry, Bai Lang won't have to worry about it. But with such a heavy reward, to be honest with you, I don't feel at ease. Please give me some advice." Bai Lang said as he opened the box and touched the one inside, and then the attribute panel prompts He picked up the jade bottle of [Xiao Pei Yuan Dan] and tried to stuff it into Zhou Zhonghao's hand.
However, he was blocked by Zhou Zhonghao.
"You are so generous. Are you willing to put this kind of thing into someone's hand?" Zhou Zhonghao shook his head with a half-smile, and then said: "Keep the thing, my cultivation has been stuck for more than a day or two. My talent is That's it, the external power of the elixir is empty and useless."
"Master Zhou is too modest, but the time has not come yet. The day when your master will make great progress in cultivation will definitely come in the future."
"Haha, this horse is not well photographed. Qi practitioners have their own business. I have come to the end of my practice in this life, and there is no chance to save it.
But it is rare for you to have such strength at your age. The future is definitely bright. Moreover, the city lord also takes a fancy to your ability and intends to train you. Therefore, it is often necessary to take a longer-term view. Don't always admire the three melons and two dates in front of you. "
Bailang didn't understand much when he heard this. Especially the last sentence "three melons and two dates" made him confused. I could only look at Zhou Zhonghao without knowing what to say.
However, Zhou Zhonghao patted the brocade box held in Bai Lang's hand, and Bai Lang woke up immediately.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, Bai Lang is not a ungrateful person. The city lord's previous words were just a whim, and Bai Lang will not keep them in mind. Now that I am satisfied with this rich reward, how can I dare to ask for anything else?" Bai Lang said respectfully. He expressed his stance respectfully, while secretly thinking that it was true. The cakes painted by the City Lord's Mansion are just cakes after all. However, there are a lot of things in the brocade box in his hand, which is considered a heavy reward for him. Not a loss.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhonghao was very satisfied with Bai Lang's answer, nodded, and said goodbye to Bai Lang. As he said before, Bai Lang's talent for cultivation was already pretty good. It seemed to him that Feng Mingyuan really wanted to train Bai Lang as a general. So relationships have to start to be maintained.
Bailang didn't understand Zhou Zhonghao's words, but he didn't care. He joins the knife studio to make a living. It's the same now, except that I have more hope for "independence" and don't want to continue to be someone else's chamber pot. Therefore, whether it was Feng Mingyuan or the knife studio, Bai Lang had his own plans in mind. It was completely impossible for him to "loyalty" to someone single-mindedly, and it was not the way he planned.
