Cthulhu

Chapter 224

Cheng Cheng asked Niu Ren to bring a dozen people back to Forbidden Martial City, and asked Mary Lou to transfer the headquarters of the Heroes Association to the Jade Girl City in the east. From now on, it will belong to the territory of the Heroes Association, and it is the country they conquered.

Originally, Qunying would have about 2 people, plus Lang Ya's 8000 people, the total is tens of thousands of troops.After so many battles, countless casualties, and re-dividing the army that originally belonged to Lang Ya in Dongsang Kingdom, there are less than [-] people left in the Qunyinghui. The powerful ones stayed, so the overall strength did not decrease but increased.

After fighting many deadly battles, coupled with the fact that most of the members of the Qunyinghui were charged forward, their strength has been steadily improved. The more than 2000 Shura soldiers originally belonging to the Haotian Department have all entered the Killing Heaven Department, and the Xintian Department also has more than 3000 people. , Entered the Haotian Department with strength.As for the Xuantian Department, which has not yet been developed, the monster army conceived by Cheng Cheng has not yet been developed.

Cheng Cheng also gave up his position as the leader of the Heaven Killing Department, and concentrated on being the leader of the Heroes Association, and the Heaven Killing Department was handed over to Stallone to manage it. I believe he can manage it well.With Stallone taking over as the leader of the Heaven Killing Department, Zhu, Niu, Huo, and Pang have no complaints. After all, their strength and potential are on the surface, and it is really impossible for them to catch up with Stallone.

The road was full of wind and dust, but the marching speed of thousands of people from the Qunyinghui was naturally faster. In just two days, they rushed all the way to the outside of the Jade Maiden City.Seeing the many damaged gaps in front of him, Cheng Cheng thought he had come to the wrong place.Where is the city?It was clearly a ruin.

Leading the army into the city, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the scene in the city. Most of the houses in the city were built of stones, and there were huts built with mud walls.

"Fuck, what kind of city did the emperor give you? It's clearly just a slum." Seeing the scene in the city, Howard said angrily with a sad face.

"That's right, what's the use of such a city?" Pang Xie, who was sitting on the horseback and still had the head of a dwarf, echoed loudly.

"I've heard that Jade Maiden City is very poor, but I didn't expect it to be so backward." Zhuge Hua was dejected and extremely depressed.

Cheng Cheng also felt very uncomfortable, this old emperor is too wicked, what kind of territories are they confiscated?And the army weaving has to be formed by itself, shit, it's really ruthless.

"Okay, it's not as bad as I imagined. Fortunately, the territory of Jade Maiden City is large enough. Now that it is the territory of the Heroes Association, we must work hard to transform Jade Maiden City and get out of poverty and become rich." As the leader, Cheng Sheng naturally I can no longer say frustrating words and make things worse, but encourage everyone.

"Yes, within two years, we will completely change the Jade Maiden City. At a glance, it will be full of pavilions, towers and pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and resplendent, making it even better than the imperial capital. Let the emperor regret it." Yuan Shijie also agreed. He said, making everyone laugh, and the toad yawned quite a bit. It is definitely an unimaginable sum to make the Jade Maiden City better than the imperial capital.

However, what Yuan Shijie casually said has become true. In the future, the Jade Girl City will be the place Quan Dou Mo yearns for. If he wants to bring households into the city, he must have enough power and status.

"Okay, let's stop talking, first station the team, go to the city lord's mansion to find someone to be our tour guide, and understand the Jade Woman City first." Stopping everyone's bragging, Cheng Cheng rode his horse to the city lord of the Jade Girl City first. Go to the government.

They found an open space in the city and stationed thousands of members of the Heroes Association.Only then did Cheng Cheng, Zhu, Huo, and Pang, as well as his parents, aunt, Yuan Shijie, Diana, Catherine, Zhenzhen, and others walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Oh, you are the new city lord? You are disrespectful, disrespectful and disrespectful." A man with cross-eyed appearance and dressed like a master came out of the mansion, and saw the middle-aged man sitting in the upper seat with a majestic look. , hurriedly stepped forward and smiled to see the road.

"It's not me, it's him!" Cheng Tianwei, Cheng Cheng's father, who sat on the top seat, pointed to Cheng Cheng next to him and said.

"Oh, hehe, forgive me for not being able to see Mount Tai, or seeing gold inlaid with jade." The master was slightly startled, and then said to Cheng Cheng with a smile.He speaks smoothly and can be called slick in all directions, which shows that this master is not a simple person.

"You are?" Looking at the master's appearance, goosebumps on Cheng Cheng's body shot out.

"My name is Guo Funong, and I am the acting city lord of the Jade Maiden City. With you here, I can finally abdicate." In his tone, there was a sense of ease as if a big stone had landed on him. He was really afraid of the position of the city lord.

"From your tone, it seems that you don't want to be the city lord?" Cheng Cheng asked suspiciously.

Guo Funong was a little embarrassed, pulled his mustache at the corner of his mouth, and said: "To be honest, the most feared thing for officials in the empire is to be assigned to this Jade Woman City, which is no different from being assigned to the frontier. Such bitter cold In such a land, it is more practical to be an official than to be a citizen."

Cheng Cheng smiled in relief. Judging from the scene in Yufu City, being an official here is indeed a hard job, and it is estimated that there is no money to be made. Whoever's brain is pinched by his thigh is willing to come here to be an official.

"You arrange someone to be our guide. We want to know about the situation in Jade Girl City." Now that he has accepted this fiefdom, Cheng Cheng doesn't complain any more. Who let himself be fooled by the old emperor?
"Okay, that's fine."

Guo Funong, who looks like the master's acting lord, called out a girl from the lord's mansion. She looked eighteen or nineteen, and although she wasn't a big beauty, she was still pretty, with a bit of naughty taste, and she had two braids tied into the sky.

"This is the little girl Guoguo. She is very familiar with every place in Jade Girl City. It would be great to have her as your guide." Guofunong pointed to the girl beside him and introduced her, then said to her: " Hurry up and call the city lord!"

"Why should I call him City Lord? He's not as old as me, so he's more like a younger brother." Playing with a lock of braids pulled from behind to his chest, Guoguo looked at Chengcheng curiously, and said without timidity at all. .

"Am I that young?" Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said with a bitter face.

"Hmph, of course, if you don't believe me, if you ask them, you look like a little brat." Guoguo made everyone in the room laugh when he said this.It is rare for people in the empire to dare to speak of Cheng Cheng like this, but her frankness has also won her a lot of popularity, and everyone immediately fell in love with this girl.

"Guoguo, you are messing around. He is here to take over as the lord of the Jade Girl City. You have to think twice before you speak, or you will cause big trouble. Fortunately, the lord of the city is open-minded and doesn't care about it. Don't push yourself too hard." Guo Funong is indeed a master , blocked Cheng Cheng all of a sudden, if he cares about it, he is narrow-minded.

Guoguo pursed her small mouth and snorted, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Did I say I don't care about it?" There was an ignorant smile on the corner of his mouth, Cheng Sheng always liked to play cards out of common sense.

"City Master, my little girl is young and ignorant, if you want to punish me, punish me." Guofunong's complexion changed slightly, and he said hastily.

"What am I going to punish you for? Just punish her to be our tour guide for two days. If you don't satisfy us, both of you, father and daughter, will be punished." Cheng Cheng said threateningly with his face turning cold.

"It's not easy to handle. No one in Jade Maiden City knows as much as I do. I can't stop any trees with bird's nests, and any fish in any river. I can't handle the board. . " Guoguo looked full of confidence, not bowing his head at all.

"Okay, you can take us around the city now." Cheng Cheng also got up, and together with everyone, they went to visit the Jade Girl City led by Guoguo.

Guofunong heaved a sigh of relief, as soon as Cheng Cheng's punishment came out, he knew he was scaring his daughter Guoguo.

This Guoguo is indeed lively and active. She is familiar with the city to such an extent that she knows exactly what kind of poultry the family feeds. She takes a group of people around the city and introduces them as they walk. She knows every tree. Can tell so little reason, I really don't know how she knows so clearly.

Cheng Sheng also thinks this girl is very cute and she is a good tour guide.

"The name of this lake is Weeping Tears Lake." Pointing to the crystal-clear lake in front of him, Guoguo's tone suddenly felt sad.

"Weeping Lake, what a strange name, what's the origin?" Every time Guoguo said something, she would always tell the origin, that's why Stallone asked.

"Of course there is. In the past years of wars in the empire, the men in the city were captured and served as soldiers to fight. In the entire city, only women are left."

"This is the origin of the name Jade Maiden City, right?" Cheng Cheng answered directly after hearing Zhuge Hua tell such a story.

"Yes, it is said that there was no such lake in the city, and all the men in the city were taken to join the army to fight, and the remaining women were crying all day long, and the tears became more and more, and finally gathered into this small lake, and the lake The water in it has never dried up." After speaking, Guoguo's eyes were red, and she looked like a sentimental woman.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little emotional. Although they didn't necessarily believe that the lake was made of tears, they thought of the cruelty of war, which brought tears to the people of the empire forever, tears that could not be dried up.
