Xuantian Dragon Zun

Fengli County, City Lord's Mansion!

As soon as Du Long returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned Fu Bo, Sun Lin, and Xia Ye to deal with the important affairs in the territory. The three core members of Fengli County began to report to him the latest work in the territory!

It was the end of 1009, and all the work in the Fengli County territory was progressing smoothly. With the continuous implementation of various preferential policies, the entire territory has long been out of poverty, and achieved a gratifying big profit!

"Master! In the whole year, our income is still quite considerable. Several gold mines, plus the taxes in the territory, should be considered very rich! But the several monster beast legions you formed are all big gold sellers. ah!

With a staff of 100,000 people, the monthly military contribution reached a terrifying 400,000 yuan! Coupled with the average equipment cost of nearly two to three hundred gold coins per person, this cost alone is nearly 30 million!

This is the result of calculations that our monsters, war horses, and black irons all cost nothing!

Several gold mines were exploited with all their strength. Although this big hole was barely filled, the monthly maintenance cost would be an astronomical sum!

We've already been unable to make ends meet, and if we don't think about it, we might not even be able to pay for next month's military lunch! "Fu Bo, the chief steward of the territory, complained to Du Long there.

"Major General!" Sun Lin followed closely behind and began to complain: "You also know that this secret investigation work also requires a lot of money to complete some special tasks, and the Shadow Guard is also starting to have a problem with cash flow. , if it is not resolved quickly, I am afraid it will seriously affect the work of the Shadow Guard!"

Du Long looked at the two core members of the territory with a smile, complaining about their misery and crying for poverty. They looked like they were sitting on the Diaoyutai. Seeing that the two had stopped chattering, he turned his head and glanced at Xia Ye who had been silent from beginning to end.

"Hey! Uncle Xia, they are both crying poor, why are you acting like nothing happened?!" Du Long asked a little puzzled.

Xia Ye smiled and said: "Hehe, Uncle Fu and General Sun are responsible for the big spenders. If I need money here, I can just ask Uncle Fu..."

"Hahaha!" Du Long laughed as soon as he heard it, and took out a large stack of gold tickets and said, "Fu Bo! This is 20 million gold tickets, should it be enough for this year's expenses?!"

Looking at the large stack of gold coins with bright eyes, Fu Bo immediately reached out to take it politely, and then directly counted the number in front of everyone. After confirming that it was indeed 20 million gold coins, he took a long Breathe a sigh of relief.

"Young master! The gold coin came at a really good time! Now all the problems have been solved, and the money that should have been spent in the early stage is almost spent. The next step is just daily supplies and maintenance. It shouldn't be a problem to spend 20 million a year! Uncle Fu said excitedly, and then sighed with tears in his eyes: "Oh! You don't know, young master. I've been urged to ask for this and that every day. It's no use if my hair is almost white, clever woman." It's hard to cook without rice!"

"In short, the affairs of the territory are still difficult for you, Uncle Fu. If there is any hard work, let Uncle Xia do more work. You have to take care of your health!" Du Long said gratefully to the chief steward of the territory.

"Master, you are serious! To gain the appreciation and trust of the young master and the master, and to entrust such an important position to Ah Fu, Ah Fu vowed to do the job well! Master Xia Ye is very capable, and he is also very delicate in doing things, and he also helped Ah Fu is very busy, otherwise..."

"Uncle Fu, I'm sorry! Xia Ye can only help with some details..." Xia Ye hurriedly said modestly.

"Haha, I have survived the busiest period in the early stage, and the next days will be much easier! Uncle Fu doesn't have to work so hard!" Sun Lin interjected with a smile.

"No, no!" Before Forbe and the others could speak, Du Long waved his hands first and said with a serious face: "I think it's still a long time before the easy days! On the contrary, it will be busier next time!"

It was rare to see him with a serious face, the three core members of the territory present immediately put away their smiles, and Fubo was the first to ask seriously: "Master! What do you mean by that?!"

Flipping his hands again, he took out a large stack of gold tickets. Du Long glanced at the three of them solemnly and said, "Fu Bo! Here are 30 million gold tickets, you can take them together!"

"This..." This time, Uncle Fu didn't grab it bluntly like before. Instead, he widened his eyes and said with a puzzled face, "Master! What do you mean? Ten million gold tickets are enough for a whole year, why give me thirty million gold coins?!"

"Ah!" Under the watchful eyes of the three core members, Du Long sighed: "After preparing for so long, the war is finally approaching! It's time for us to enter the pre-war preparation stage in advance and start preparing for the war with an army of 100,000 Supplies are available!"

"ah..."

The three core members of the territory were all dumbfounded. Although they knew that they had made so much preparation and spent a lot of money for this day, when this day was approaching, it felt so unreal!

"Chuan Ben Xiaoqi Zhonglang's general order!" Du Long began to give the order with a serious face. Fu Bo, Sun Lin and Xia Ye all sat up straight subconsciously, waiting for Du Long's latest order.

"The territory of Fengli County has entered a state of second-level combat readiness. No one is allowed to take vacations or act freely outside the station. Generals and officers at all levels are in their positions, ready to enter the state of battle at all times! In the territory, all kinds of material preparations are in full swing!" Du Long Shen Sheng issued a general order, which put Fengli County's territory into a second-level combat readiness state for the first time.

"Follow orders," the three core members also replied seriously.

"Major General! Then, is this entry into the second level of combat readiness done secretly? Or openly?!" Sun Lin, who is in charge of intelligence and security work, was the first to think of this question.

"Secretly! The training of the new Xiaoqi army outside the city of Fengli County continues as usual. The 100,000 Xiaoqi monster army has entered a state of combat readiness and ordered the Flaming Tiger Army to move out of the original station and merge into the monster swamp. Cooperate with offensive and defensive training!" Du Long replied in a deep voice.

"Subordinates understand"

"Okay! There's nothing else to do, let's leave! Uncle Fu, the preparations for war materials must be accelerated, and the preliminary work of material reserves should be completed within three months!" After Du Long made one last statement, he announced the adjournment of the meeting .

After answering, the three of them were ready to leave, but Uncle Fu turned back when he walked to the gate, and said to Du Long who was puzzled: "Master! I forgot to tell you something. A woman came from outside and said that she wanted to discuss with you something important. Because the young master was not in Fengli County, Ah Fu sent them to come back in a few days, and then she would come every one or two days. She will come in two days!"

"Oh?! Did you ask her where she came from?!" Du Long wondered, there was a woman looking for him. After thinking about it, the only women he knew were Jiang Yan and Irene who were rescued in the Monster Forest. Come on!

‘Could it be one of them who came to find me? ’ Du Long thought to himself.

"I asked! But she can only tell you when she sees the young master!" Uncle Fu nodded.

"Okay! Go get busy! Tell the people below that if this woman comes to see me again, bring her in!" Du Long waved his hand.

. . . . . .

In the practice field in the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Du Long and the others were practicing. Since he could no longer take the third-grade spiritual liquid, he could only rely on hard work to increase his strength.

"My lord! There is a girl outside asking to see you!" While practicing, the guards outside the garden gate reported loudly.

"Hee hee! There is a beautiful woman asking to see you, my husband, you will not tell us that you have other old friends outside, okay?!" Princess Huofeng laughed and teased on the spot, Xia Qinglian covered her mouth and chuckled, and did not follow suit. .

"I don't even know who this woman is. Maybe it's Jiang Yan or Ailinda, two women we both know. Since you are curious, it's okay to meet this woman together later!" Du Long shook his head. explained.

"Take her into the living room and let her wait for a while. I'll go and meet you after I wash up!" Du Long then confessed to the guard outside the gate.

Soon, in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Du Long saw the woman sitting on the side drinking tea. Behind her were two heroic maids, who seemed to be two powerful guards.

This woman actually wore a white cloak on her head, and her beautiful face was faintly visible in the white silk scarf, so she couldn't see clearly at all, but she could only vaguely feel that she was a woman with a pretty face.

After sitting down with Huofeng and Qinglian respectively, Du Long carefully sized up the woman on the guest table. He could tell at a glance that the woman had reached the ninth level of cyclone strength, and the two female guards behind her were even more powerful. Reach the fifth to sixth level strength of Qihai!

Facing Du Long's scorching gaze, this girl felt very calm because of wearing a cloak. Seeing her holding the teacup in her white hands like jade, her movements of drinking tea elegantly were not chaotic at all.

"I don't know why this girl is looking for Du?! I heard that you have been waiting in Fengli County for several days?!" Du Long took the lead in breaking the silence and said politely.

Turning her head and glanced, the girl said in a smart voice: "Forgive me for taking the liberty, I wonder if I can ask Lord Du to send the servants back, Ben... the girl doesn't want to leak the news of her coming here!"

Looking at this mysterious woman suspiciously, Du Long still waved away the servants standing beside him, and then said curiously: "As the girl wishes! Can the girl show her true colors?!"

Under the curious gaze of Du Long and the other three, the mysterious woman reached out and gently took off the cloak, and soon, a shatterable, incomparably beautiful face appeared in everyone's eyes.

This is a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as Huofeng and Xia Qinglian. She is a little different from Huofeng's enthusiasm and refreshing, Xia Qinglian's non-human, gentle and graceful beauty!

Her beauty is formed from the inside out, not only revealing a touch of heroism, but also a touch of softness, and the light of wisdom is constantly shining in the blink of her eyes.

Looking at this strange and beautiful girl, Du Long was a little dumbfounded, not because he was stunned by her beauty, but because in his impression, he had never seen this girl before, but why did her eyes bring With obvious hatred? !
