A few days later, at ten o'clock in the morning, a civilian version of the "Banshee" transport plane appeared from the southwest sky and flew over Black Flag City.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Shilong took the three people who had changed their clothes to the Governor's Mansion to meet with the Governor.
In the long metal corridor, four people walked one behind the other. Wherever they passed, the only sound was the "dong-dong" footsteps of the four people.
"District Chief Yuan is indeed right. This Black Flag City is indeed not something we can fight against. Fortunately, District Chief Yuan reminded us, otherwise we would be in danger."
After arriving at Black Flag City, the three of them understood why Yuan Shilong surrendered to Black Flag City in a decent manner.
Yuan Shilong had no choice. Like them, he could only surrender to Black Flag City.
Zhao Hengdao: "District Chief Yuan, when facing the Governor, do you know what we should pay attention to?"
While walking, Yuan Shilong said: "Speak less, listen more, and you will do what I do."
See you chatting, the gate of the Governor's Palace has arrived.
Outside the door, the four of them also saw two soldiers standing guard. They were holding rifles that looked like metal boxes. They were dressed in black armor and wore full-face helmets with round rims. At a glance, they looked like two statues motionless.
move.
When the four people came to the door, the heavy door slowly opened amidst the sound of machinery running.
Seeing this, Yuan Shilong led the three people into the main hall.
As they entered the main hall, the three of them also saw the man wearing black and gold robes on the throne.
So young...
Looking at that young face, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three people behind Yuan Shilong.
They didn't expect that the governor of Black Flag City, who was only in his twenties, would be so young.
When he came to the bottom of the steps, Yuan Shilong knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Sir, I have brought the lords of the three cities."
Seeing Yuan Shilong kneeling down, the three of them looked at each other and quickly knelt down on the ground.
"Cao Zhen, the lord of Yuancheng City, has met your Excellency!"
"The Lord of Xiangcheng City, "Wu Sande", has met your Excellency!"
"The Lord of Shu City "Zhao Heng" has met your Excellency!"
Looking up, Yuan Shilong did not see his wife beside the Lord, which made a trace of doubt flash in his eyes.
The expression on his face was only calm. Looking at the three people at the foot of the steps, Li Meng said calmly: "Get up and talk."
Hearing this, the four of them stood up one after another.
Looking at the four people, Li Meng said again: "Since you are here, it means that you have surrendered to Black Flag City. I don't need you to swear allegiance to me. You surrendered peacefully, and you can enjoy the rights you deserve.
Black Flag City has the rules of Black Flag City. I will not care about what you have done in the past, but from today on, you must abandon everything in the past and act in accordance with the laws of Black Flag City. You cannot break the law. Once you violate it,
, will be severely punished.”
The three people quickly said in unison; "Yes!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Meng said: "Go ahead and take them to familiarize themselves with the process of becoming a district leader."
Lowering his head slightly, Yuan Shilong said: "Yes!"
With that said, Yuan Shilong turned to the three people behind him and said, "Let's go."
Afterwards, Yuan Shilong took the three people away and walked towards the direction of the gate.
Until Yuan Shilong and his party left the hall, Yao Yan walked out from behind a column on one side in a long black dress.
"Sir, why do you want me to hide? If Yuan Shilong can't see me, he will think too much."
Arriving next to Li Meng and looking at the closed door, Yao Yan asked with a puzzled look on her face.
With a faint smile, Li Meng stretched out his right hand, grabbed Yao Yan's wrist, and gently moved it into his arms. Yao Yan took advantage of the situation and sat horizontally in Li Meng's arms.
Holding Yao Yan's waist gently, Li Meng said: "Yuan Shilong and the other three city lords know each other, so naturally they also know you. If they see you by my side, what will the three of them think of your husband?
Say hello to him later so that he doesn't worry too much. If he goes back this time, just follow him back to Qingcheng. I won't let you stay either."
With a slightly red face, Yao Yan put her head on Li Meng's shoulder and said softly: "Thank you, sir."
Yao Yan knew very well in her heart that Yuan Shilong was his destination, and the relationship between her and the adults was just a temporary romance.
"Sir, can I still come to see you in the future?"
In Li Meng's arms, Yao Yan said quietly, and there seemed to be a sense of reluctance in his words.
After spending more than half a month together, Yao Yan suddenly found that it felt good to be around the Governor.
Obviously she only served the Governor for the benefit of her husband, but she gradually became addicted to it and couldn't help herself.
With a faint smile, Li Meng said: "Of course you can, just come to me when you have nothing to do. When the settlements in the scenic tourist areas are built, I will take you to visit them."
With a smile on her face, Yao Yan responded softly: "Well..."

New World, Darwin City, Federal Government Building.
At a certain meeting, Tres gathered with a group of senior military officials.
Except for him and two important civilian officials, the dozen or so people at the table were all senior generals in military uniforms.
"General Arnold failed. Hundreds of thousands of troops suffered heavy losses. Less than half of them were able to come back. Only four of the fourteen mobile fortresses came back, and the others were abandoned on the vast sea ice. They will not be able to return in a short time.
It is already impossible to advance northward. At least for now, facing the threat of alien beasts, we can no longer think about going deep into the north and must focus on defense."
"Secretary-General, give up. We can't break through the obstacles of the alien beasts and occupy the crashed battleship of the alien civilization. We can't do it."
Sitting on the main seat, the expression on Tres' face suddenly changed and he fell into deep thought.
General Arnold led his army back, but he came back too quickly, and as expected, he brought back bad news.
Just near the Hawaiian Islands, the federal army was attacked by alien beasts, suffered heavy losses, and had to withdraw to the New World.
Although Tres was mentally prepared for failure before the army went on the expedition, when it really failed, Tres still couldn't accept it.
With a helpless sigh in his heart, Tres said in the face of everyone's gaze: "Since we have failed, then give up. The urgent task now is to put the technology obtained from Black Flag City into practical use as soon as possible. One day, we will win.
of."
Like Black Flag City, the federal government chose to develop in a low-key manner in a controllable territory to accumulate strength.
After the meeting, Leiters returned to his office.
He was not alone, there were several civilian officials who followed him into the office.
"Right now, we don't have a good way to deal with the alien beasts in the north, but unknown alien civilizations pose a greater threat to us. Should we first put weapon technology into practical use and build some planetary defense systems? In this way, if
Alien civilization appears again, and we have the means to deal with it."
