Chapter 1089: Open and honest
The three tribe leaders did not think that Xiao Cheng would stay in Yunxiao City all the time. Xiao Cheng was definitely not the first city lord to be enfeoffed to Yunxiao City. The first few city lords all plundered a layer of skin, which was more cruel than bandits, and then took the plundered wealth to a better place.*
Yunxiao City looks like this, and it is impossible to keep people. Not to mention outsiders, local people want to escape from this place once they have the opportunity. The three of them have the ability to leave here, but they are unwilling to leave Yunxiao City, which was born and raised.
"Yes, this is what I worry about the most. I must not let him discover that treasure, otherwise he will definitely take the treasure away. In that case, our Yunxiao City will be completely finished. Where should our local residents go?" Ma Yuanxiang sighed.
"I don't know when he will propose the conditions. I hope I won't plunder it too much and leave us a way out!" Lin Hongbo said with a wry smile on his own.
"It's more important to say that he said it would be after the ceremony, and the conditions would definitely be raised after the ceremony!"
The dead dog was walking slowly among the fields, blowing a gentle breeze, and its ethereal bangs fluttered in the wind. Suddenly, his ears shook, stopped, his eyes lit up, and he spit out the grass stems beside his mouth, and said in surprise: "There is still treasure hidden in Yunxiao City? What treasure?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect to hear such a secret by chance. Should I tell the turtle boy? Well, Master Rong Gou think about it, he is quite filial to Master Dog..." Dead Dog said to himself, and after saying that, he flew into the sky.
...
Xiao Cheng took his group to walk around Yunxiao City, and learned about the customs and cultures here. He was always a little uncomfortable with the numb and submissive eyes of the indigenous people. He felt that the whole city was filled with breathless death breath, with a deep evening breath and no vitality.
"Sir, it may be difficult to rebuild Yunxiao City!" Tu Yuanjia withdrew his gaze from a distance and frowned and sighed.
Xiao Cheng nodded and smiled, "It's a bit difficult, but if Yunxiao City is successfully rebuilt, it will be of great benefit. The geographical location here is extremely special, and it is located in the center of the entire cultivation world, with well-connected transportation."
Xiao Cheng turned around and saw the situation on the floating island, and smiled and said, "Imagine filling the dry lake. Let the surface of the floating island be covered with green vegetation and build a prosperous city. It is actually very good. Renovating these is not too difficult and not a big problem."
Tu Yuanjia showed a bright smile and keenly realized that Xiao Cheng had a big plan. In a few simple words, he outlined a magnificent blueprint, and Xiao Cheng seemed to be confident.
"Hey, boy, come here, I'll tell you something very important!" At this time, the sound of a dead dog came from Xiao Cheng's mind. Xiao Cheng turned around and saw the dead dog standing on a small hill.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Cheng flashed to the dead dog. Seeing that the dead dog was mysterious, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Hey. Just now, Master Dog is wandering around, guess what did Master Dog hear?" Dead Dog grinned and told Xiao Cheng what he had heard before.
"Oh? I have this? I just said why they seemed to be very resistant. It turned out that they were worried that I would plunder Yunxiao City!" Xiao Cheng suddenly realized and smiled and said, "I'll go see them and talk to you!"
"Hehe, boy, why are you not enlightened? The point of Dog Master is talking about treasures, treasures!" The dead dog hurriedly caught up with Xiao Cheng and reminded him with a heartbroken heart.
"Don't care too much about any treasure. Now I am the city lord, everything here belongs to me. Why do you have to hold the treasure in your own hands?" Xiao Cheng smiled and said, as he immediately flew into the distant sky.
"Well, it seems that there is a little reason!" The dead dog thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded. Then he noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Chengfei's direction, and reminded at the top of his voice: "Hey, it's not over there, it's east!"
...
In the secret room, the three clan leaders finally did not agree on a good solution, so they could only wait, and when the city lord lost his patience to leave here on his own. Then when the three were about to leave, a black shadow flashed in the dark secret room, and Xiao Cheng directly escaped into the secret room.
The three of them suddenly saw Xiao Cheng appear out of thin air, and they were really shocked. When they remembered the topic they had just discussed, their faces changed drastically. Could it be that he had heard the conversation just now? Didn’t he have learned about the existence of the treasure?
"Greetings to the city lord!" The three of them came to their senses and immediately bowed, their palms covered with sweat.
"No need to be polite, you will be your own people in the future." Xiao Cheng waved his hand and said straight to the point: "I think you must have some concerns. I might as well tell you my plans to wait. I don't plan to leave here in a short time. My plan is to rebuild the entire Yunxiao City and turn it into a prosperous city.
I think you can stay here because you have feelings for it. Naturally, I hope Yunxiao City will become better, and my plan to rebuild it is also inseparable from your support!”
The three of them stood up, and after hearing Xiao Cheng's words, they were all stunned. They looked at each other and saw the surprise and hesitation in each other's eyes. Rebuilding Yunxiao City is indeed good news, but rebuilding a city is not a joke. It requires huge financial, material and manpower, not just talk.
Although as indigenous people, they all hope that Yunxiao City will become better, the three of them are not children, but over fifty-year-olds, and they will not easily believe Xiao Cheng's one-sided words. Even if they believe that Xiao Cheng has this determination, they will not believe that Xiao Cheng has this ability.
Just talking about the financial resources consumed in rebuilding Yunxiao City are astronomical. Moreover, Yunxiao City has nothing but stone, sand and soil. It was completely hollowed out a thousand years ago. What should I use to rebuild Yunxiao City?
"I am bluntly, of course we hope that Yunxiao City will be better in the future, but it is almost impossible to rebuild Yunxiao City. Even if Yunxiao City can be rebuilt, what can we use to maintain the prosperity of Yunxiao City?" Ma Yuanxiang simply shook his head openly and said.
"Thank you for your love for Yunxiao City. We...we don't think you can rebuild Yunxiao City!" Lin Hongbo vetoed more bluntly. He had said this to this point, and there was no need for him to hide anything.
Xiao Cheng seemed to have expected the reaction of the three of them to be like this, and smiled faintly and said, "I know this sounds unbelievable. It's good for you to listen now. Let's continue watching. Don't forget about the afternoon ceremony!"
Xiao Cheng came here to make it clear. He didn't expect the three of them to believe it immediately. After hearing his plans, the three of them had at least a thought, and would not think about it or disobey it. Whether it was him or the indigenous people here, the goals were actually the same.
After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, he left the secret room without asking where the treasure was hidden. He left three old patriarchs looking at each other, guessing how true or false Xiao Cheng's words were.
