Chapter 458: Warning (1)

“What is it? You…”

The general looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief.

In his imagination, Li Yuanqing and Ye Qiluo should have died at the hands of the rebel army, but why was Li Yuanqing standing here unscathed? If he was still alive, wouldn’t the City Lord be…

The general stumbled back. He was so arrogant just now, but now he no longer had that arrogance.

Li Yuanqing walked to the City Lord’s throne and sat down.

The Great General watched as the throne that he had worked so hard to obtain was so easily taken by someone else, but he did not dare to complain.

If others did not know what kind of strength this Li Yuanqing had, he knew it all too well.

…..

To repel tens of thousands of enemy troops with his own strength, who else could do such a thing other than him? It was this kind of person who was hiding in front of him. There was only one regret in his heart now.

He thought that no matter how strong this fellow was, the two of them were exiled to the wilderness. Facing the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers and the pursuit of many demons, they would die no matter what.

However, he never expected that not only was Li Yuanqing alive and well, but his strength seemed to have increased by another level. He felt that the man in front of him was unpredictable.

Li Yuanqing was like a huge mountain pressing down on his body. However, the pressure had become even greater now. Fortunately, Li Yuanqing’s strength had improved greatly in this short period of time.

The general’s expression changed slightly. He looked around carefully before he dared to take a step forward.

“Senior, I don’t know where the City Lord is trapped. All the citizens of Rong City are looking forward to the City Lord’s return as soon as possible!”

The general knelt on one knee. He was a middle-aged man with gray hair, but he was actually calling a young man with a tender face a senior.

Li Yuanqing’s face darkened as he stared at him quietly.

“Your City Lord has other things to deal with now. Don’t worry, she won’t be back for the time being.”

When the general heard Li Yuanqing’s words, he hurriedly defended himself,”Senior, are you misunderstanding something? I’m just an acting City Lord now. The position of City Lord will always be reserved for the Saintess. As long as the Saintess returns to the city, the City Lord of Rong City will be hers. I won’t dare to touch her!”

Li Yuanqing didn’t have any reason to believe his promise. He just smiled and said,””It doesn’t matter. No matter what you think, your former city lord might become a thing of the past.”

At least the general changed the topic and asked Li Yuanqing,””! wonder what Senior has come here for? Could it be that you’re here just to tell me these things?”

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to leave after bringing the two children back. He did not think too much about it. The overall structural framework of Chengdu had been established, so there would not be any major problems.

Even without Ye Qiluo, the environment in Chengdu shouldn’t have changed much. But when he came back this time, he found that Chengdu had become jittery. After the general became the city lord, he implemented a very strict management policy.

On the surface, the crime rate here had dropped to a very low level, but in fact, it was because of the general’s iron fist suppression. The anger accumulated in the hearts of the people below, and it was difficult to call it a good decision.

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to interfere in the matters of Rong City. He did not have any good feelings towards these so-called generals in the city.

However, there were still hundreds of thousands of people below. If they allowed the general to rule with an iron fist, it would be very unfair to them.

Li Yuanqing took out a piece of paper and casually threw it in front of the general.

This piece of paper was a ban personally issued by their City Lord’s Estate.

Any acts of conflict or going out at night would be regarded as acts of rebellion and would be directly arrested and locked up in prison.

Moreover, there were already many people in the prison. Those who were imprisoned in the prison were not counted as criminal gangs in Chengdu, so they were not counted in the so-called crime rate.

According to the general’s logic, as long as all the criminals were arrested, everything would be safe. That was why the situation was so unique.

The general glanced at the notice and hurriedly explained,””Senior, please don’t misunderstand. This measure is a very useful experience that we have summed up during that month of sealing. It is also because these measures are very effective that they have been passed down. There is definitely no other reason.”

Li Yuanqing snorted coldly and looked at him.”” Forget it, I don’t want to listen to your words. I just want to tell you that I don’t want to see such announcements appear again from now on. Chengdu used to be a very free place. Don’t let it become a prison in your hands.”

Li Yuanqing caught the general and scolded him. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.

No matter what, he was already so old and had lived for so long. In his entire life, no one had ever dared to curse at him like this. Presumably, it was only Li Yuanqing, this kid. After all, his strength was very high..
