Chapter 1869 The years are like a song, the vicissitudes of the world!
Yanmu City.
The head of the Jia family smiled and checked into the city lord's mansion.
Seeing that fat body stepping into the city lord's palace, the people of Yanmu City were in despair.
Because it was the same thing when the previous city lord and the Jia family master were in cahoots! Originally they thought that the new city lord would be different, but it seemed that they were all the same.
so.
They are desperate and numb.
In this world... there are too few good people and evil people prevail.
"City Lord, this is a very wise choice, and you will be glad for it in the future."
The head of the Jia family smiled.
Su Xuan gave him a cold look and said: "Since we are cooperating, we must show sincerity.
I want 30% of Yanmu City’s income.
Only 30%."
The head of the Jia family was startled, then laughed loudly: "Okay, just 30%!"
Thirty percent is not a lot, but if you can get an obedient city lord, it will undoubtedly be good.
"In the coming years, I won't care what your Jia family does.
I will try my best to meet your Jia family's requests.
However, I also need some power.
As you said, if you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you.
Since it is cooperation, then cooperate well.
Of course, I am the master of Yanmu City publicly, but secretly it is still your Jia family."
Su Xuandao.
"It seems that the city lord's ambition is not small."
Master Jia narrowed his eyes.
"Just trying to survive."
Su Xuan said lightly: "Besides, you have already won over my family, what else can I do?"
The head of the Jia family was silent for a long time and then said with a smile: "Okay, I will do as you say."
"Also, I came here with an imperial edict. I want to connect with the Water Country and dig a canal to alleviate the Fire Country's crisis."
Su Xuandao.
"This is a good thing, but water channels must be strictly controlled."
"certainly."
Su Xuan nodded, his eyes slightly lowered.
...In the following time, Yanmu City remains the same.
Su Xuan, on the other hand, was focused on the ditch.
He brought in a large number of tools and forcibly gathered a large number of people.
The people of Yanmu City were really desperate now.
The new city lord seems to be more evil than the previous city lords! On this day.
Su Xuan was walking to the place where the canal was to be dug.
"Bad guy!"
Some children threw stones, which caused blood on Su Xuan's forehead.
The guard next to him was furious and drew his sword to catch the child.
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, wiped away the blood on his forehead, but also grabbed the guard: "If a son does not teach his father a lesson, he will arrest his father to dig ditches."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then thought to himself that the new city lord looked polite, but he was not a good person either.
It didn't take long.
The guard caught a man in the midst of crying.
"Dog officer!"
The man is also tough and curses loudly when he opens his mouth.
"If you don't leave, I will kill your child.
My blood will not be shed in vain."
Su Xuan said lightly.
The man paused, suddenly discouraged, his eyes despairing.
...Jia family.
The head of the Jia family burst out laughing after listening to his servant's report.
"Our city lord quickly adapted to his role.
I think within a few years, his notoriety will surpass mine."
The head of the Jia family was very happy.
The city lord cannot be killed.
Rather than killing one by one and eventually provoking the leader of the Fire Nation to take action, it would be better to support an obedient one.
In the eyes of the Jia family leader, Su Xuan, who does not have much ambition and is indecisive, is obviously suitable.
"Continue to monitor."
The head of the Jia family ordered.
...the years that followed.
Su Xuan crazily amassed money, dug channels, and squeezed the people.
In less than a year, Su Xuan became a villain as bad as the head of the Jia family and was notorious.
late at night.
In Su Xuan's study.
Beside the oil lamp, Su Xuan buried his head in planning the excavation of the ditch.
Just one year.
Su Xuan's temples have turned white.
This year, no one knows how much Su Xuan slept in a day.
He was frantically squeezing the people of Yanmu City, and also squeezing himself, in order to dig the ditch as soon as possible.
"City Lord, don't be so desperate."
Su Xuan's wife felt distressed.
"The Fire Nation is getting weaker and weaker. The sooner we dig the ditch, the sooner we can reap benefits.
When I earn enough, I will resign as the city lord."
Su Xuandao.
"Really?"
Lady Su Xuan said happily.
"nature."
Su Xuan replied coldly: "Don't disturb me."
"OK."
She left happily.
Su Xuan looked at it coldly and couldn't help but cough.
He covered his mouth and felt a fishy smell... finally.
After four years.
The ditch was dug.
Many people's eyes felt inexplicably sour when they looked at the river rushing from the Water Kingdom.
This is the hope they work day and night to dig out.
But... could this be their hope?
They couldn't help but think.
"Go! Go quickly!"
"From today on, no one is allowed to approach the water channel without authorization, and any offender will be shot!"
One by one, fierce-looking guards came over and drove them away.
"This is just a way for the dog official and the Jia family to make money..." The people of Yanmu City saw it very clearly, and they were desperate because of it.
City Lord's Mansion.
Su Xuan and the head of the Jia family were drinking happily.
"Once the water canal is opened, we will undoubtedly control the lifeline! In the Fire Country, water is more expensive than gold!"
The head of the Jia family was glowing red.
In the past, the head of the Jia family did not dare to think about this, because digging canals requires a lot of manpower, rich knowledge, and a deep understanding of geography.
Otherwise, given the vastly different topography between the Fire Country and the Water Country, it would be impossible to dig a ditch.
Therefore, Su Xuan's success was extremely unexpected to the head of the Jia family.
"so what?"
Su Xuan asked calmly.
At this moment, his temples were turning white, and he looked like he was entering his twilight years.
"We are going to get rich."
The head of the Jia family laughed.
but.
Su Xuan took a sip of wine, but interrupted him: "No, it's not us."
"What do you mean?"
The head of the Jia family was startled, then said displeased.
"Ahem..." Su Xuan coughed up blood, but didn't care and said, "It's the common people who are going to get rich."
"Su Xuan, do you want to die?"
The head of the Jia family slapped the table and stood up, furious.
Su Xuan just looked at him calmly and said: "The wine is poisonous, you won't survive today."
"What?"
The head of the Jia family was startled and then became furious: "Where is the antidote?"
"There is no antidote."
Su Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"Looking for death, looking for death!"
The head of the Jia family was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Come here, catch this bastard."
"Don't bother, I will die with you."
Su Xuan took a sip of wine, his eyes full of guilt.
"I have hurt many people over the years, and I want to forgive myself for that."
The head of the Jia family was startled, and then became furious: "Have you been pretending all these years?"
"why not?"
Su Xuan replied softly: "I am not a good person, but I am not a bad person who can take people's lives lightly."
"Are you so not afraid of death?
What about your relatives, do you want to drag them to death together?"
The head of the Jia family grabbed Su Xuan's collar and said with a ferocious face: "And even if I die, the Jia family will still be here! Nothing... will change! This is how the world is!"
"No, there will be some changes after all."
Su Xuan kept coughing up blood: "I'm afraid of death, but there are some things that need to be repaid at the risk of life.
As for my relatives...they have long since fallen."
"You..." "Family...Master, what's wrong, a large group of people rushed into the Jia family. The Jia family is finished!"
A guard rushed in covered in blood.
"How is it possible? How can my Jia family's guards be defeated by a bunch of stupid people?"
The head of the Jia family was furious.
"He... they wear fine armor, hold weapons, and are very skilled..." the guard cried.
"How..." The head of the Jia family shouted subconsciously, but then looked at Su Xuan: "Is it you?"
"Over the years, I have not only dug ditches."
Su Xuan breathed out a breath.
"Without my Jia family, there will still be Liu family and Ye family!"
The head of the Jia family shouted angrily.
"No, at least there won't be any more Yanmu City."
Su Xuan said softly.
soon.
A middle-aged man who resembled Su Xuan walked in.
"City Lord."
His eyes were sad.
"From now on, you will continue to be this evil person.
However, Yanmu City will prosper."
Su Xuan said softly.
"yes!"
The middle-aged man nodded.
From now on, he will pretend to be Su Xuan and continue to manage Yanmu City.
And he is the father of the child who threw the stone at Su Xuan.
In the past few years, he had personally witnessed Su Xuan's plans in Yanmu City.
"Yammu City needs a villain, otherwise other villains will break in.
This is how the world is, and I understood it after I got to know the Jia family.
I have wronged you in this life."
Su Xuan's eyes slowly became lifeless.
"Don't feel wronged.
The city lord is the one who feels wronged."
The middle-aged man bowed deeply.
"No, I'm guilty.
I may do good things, but I also do bad things.
People like me deserve to die."
Su Xuan murmured and gradually died.
This is not redemption, but atonement.
...in the valley.
The black and white old ape looked at it, silently for a long time.
"Master, is the senior brother coming out?"
Fahai asked.
"Old man, are you trying to trick senior brother?"
Cang Feng and Golden Fire Fox asked.
Time...two years have passed.
Su Xuan had been in the illusion for nearly two years, but they all completed the third trial within half a year.
This made both Cang Feng and Jin Huo suspect that the old black and white ape was plotting against Su Xuan.
According to their understanding, entering the fantasy world for at most half a year was already too much for Su Xuan.
The black-and-white old ape was rarely angry, and his eyes were a little complicated.
"I'll pick him up."
He said and disappeared in an instant.
Inside the door.
The old black and white ape grabbed into nothingness, and Su Xuan was pulled out from his deep sleep.
Su Xuan's face...had a bit of sadness and vicissitudes of life.
The black and white old ape looked at it and sighed deeply.
"I still think you are not suitable for the Taiping Ancient Alliance.
But you... are not a bad person after all."
He whispered, gently carried Su Xuan on his back, and took him away from the illusion.
