Chapter 205: Drive them out of the inner city!
Even worse...
Several soldiers were actually asking outsiders about the price of Night-Shining Dew when they left the city!
What do you want to do?
Are you reselling glow-in-the-dark lotion?
I simply don’t know how to live or die!
If Chenlong hadn't discovered and stopped it in time...
This soldier is likely to make a big mistake.
At that time... the whole family will be finished.
As for Captain Chenlong, he will also bear the responsibility for lax discipline.
It will probably be very difficult for Chenlong to gain the city lord's trust again in the future.
"Sister Xiaoyu, we know we were wrong!"
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu, we will definitely work hard in the future!"
"We will definitely work hard to improve ourselves in the future!"
……
Realizing the seriousness of what Xiaoyu said, everyone immediately stood up straight and repeatedly assured her.
They were simply trying to relax because they had suffered so much in the past and were now suddenly living a good life. They didn't think too much about it, and none of them even considered betraying the city lord!
After all... nobody wants to lose their current life!
What these people didn't know was...
At that moment, hidden in a corner of the wall where they couldn't see, three figures were staring at them.
These were none other than three beast-eared girls wearing dragon armor and capable of burrowing underground.
"Write this down!" The rabbit-eared girl stared at everyone and reminded the catwoman beside her, "Those three people had inappropriate thoughts. We need to keep a close eye on them in the future. If they can repent and change their ways, they can still be entrusted with important tasks. If... they don't repent, they are candidates to be kicked out of the inner city!"
“Okay.” Catwoman nodded, glanced at the three of them, and made a note of it.
Among the crowd, the three soldiers suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, inexplicably sensing a sense of malice.
They were unaware that... they had inquired about the price of Night-Shining Dew from the people of the outer city out of curiosity.
Now... not only have they been criticized, but the city lord has also made a note of it in his little notebook.
Xiao Yu already had a rough idea of the responsibilities of the intelligence department.
In addition to serving as a clandestine inner city defense force, they also had to monitor the heads of various important departments in Dragon City.
For example, the two commanders, Chenlong and Tienan, Xiaoyu and Yingzi, etc...
After all... people change!
He was loyal to Longcheng before, but who knows what will happen in the future!
In order to build his Dragon City into an impregnable fortress.
Xiao Yu explained a series of preventative measures to the three beast-eared girls, as well as who might betray them.
They're simply people with weak willpower, greedy, or whose weaknesses have been exploited by others...
To prevent betrayal, the three beast-eared girls would secretly monitor Chenlong and the others from time to time.
Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion received the news as early as when Chenlong gathered everyone.
Xiao Yu immediately dispatched three beast-eared girls.
A few moments later, the party ended and everyone left.
However, the three beast-eared girls did not leave.
He stared at Xiaoyu and her husband for a long time before quietly leaving.
After the three left, Xiaoyu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
A moment later, inside the city lord's mansion.
"That's how it is!" The rabbit-eared girl reported the situation.
"Hmm, it seems that having Ling Shuang lead people into the inner city today had a pretty good effect!" Xiao Yu looked through the three people's records and nodded with a light smile.
He instructed Chu Ling Shuang to lead a group into the inner city for a tour...
On one hand, it was to brainwash those blacksmith trainees, and on the other hand, it was to give the people in the inner city a warning.
Let them know that the good life they are living now is something many people can only dream of.
Countless people are desperate to live in the inner city.
Even Xue Donglai, the young city lord of the city of ruins, said he was willing to pay a high price and hoped that Xiao Yu would let him live in the inner city.
However... Xiao Yu showed no mercy and refused outright.
The inner city of Dragon City is his backyard, and no outsiders are allowed to live there!
"Just keep a close eye on these three from now on." Xiao Yu flipped through the records of the three soldiers, smiled nonchalantly, and lightly tapped their names with his finger.
Having some minor ideas is normal; as long as you don't actually do anything about it, it's not wrong.
However, a person's words and actions reveal their character.
Judging from their past performance, these three don't seem to be particularly intelligent.
But whatever the reason, whether it's curiosity or greed...
Any private conversation with outsiders is a sign of danger and must be taken very seriously.
After all... many people make mistakes starting with curiosity!
On the contrary, intelligent people like Xiaoyu are truly clear-headed about the world.
Many people, after achieving a good life, assume it's all thanks to their own efforts!
But... only Xiaoyu remained perfectly clear-headed, knowing that she was nothing.
Without the city lord, their small Maple Leaf Tribe and the small Divine Weapon City, with only a few hundred people, would have been wiped out! They too would have long since perished in the bellies of ferocious beasts!
This is what Xiao Yu is most satisfied with.
Xiaoyu is not only very clear-headed herself, but she can also occasionally help Xiaoyu discipline his subordinates.
Ultimately, Xiao Yu had feelings for the people who followed him the earliest.
He would not act rashly unless these people actually betrayed Dragon City.
Now, with Xiaoyu keeping an eye on things and constantly pushing him...
"We'll issue another announcement tomorrow! Dragon City will officially begin its journey three days from now!"
Although the trade fair was short, only four or five days in, all the valuable items and energy stones held by the major powers have already fallen into Dragon City's hands.
There's no point in staying here any longer.
"Also, after the trade fair, I will test everyone's archery skills!"
……
Previously... considering that vegetables such as corn and tomatoes have a very short shelf life.
Many factions only sold goods that could be stored for a long time, such as water and weapons.
However, the next day, when the City Lord's Mansion released its latest poster, many forces became anxious.
With the remaining energy stones in hand, they embarked on another shopping spree.
Dragon Gate Inn, third floor, VIP private room.
"Young City Lord, the trade fair is over, and it's time for us to head back!" The two leaders of Yan City said to Xiao Tian. "Before returning to Yan City, we need to buy some more vegetables and plants, preferably more seedlings."
Originally, they wanted to win back Xiao Yu, so they wouldn't have to spend money on these things.
But now... I have no choice but to buy it, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
"Okay." Xiao Tian rolled his eyes and nodded reluctantly.
In another private room, the two leaders of the Ruins City looked at Xue Donglai and asked, "Young City Lord, we can get Night Dew anytime now. When do we return to the Ruins City?"
"No rush!" Xue Donglai gazed towards the direction of the City of Ruins and said calmly, "I asked the City Lord of Dragon City, and their next destination is the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts! That's exactly the same direction as us!"
"What? Doesn't this save us two days of travel time?"
Upon hearing this, both leaders were overjoyed.
We are indeed traveling the same route as them to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for the time being.
This will probably save them two or three days of walking!
When we return to the City of Ruins, the effects of the Night-Shining Dew and the Bodhi Fruit will last for another three or four days!
