Su Qing and the two headed eastward, hurrying and slowly, and finally arrived safely in Anle City twenty days later.
In these twenty days, they carried out at least five assassinations.
If it weren't for the people from Shadow Tower following them, the two of them would have been scarred long ago.
Su Qing had used up all the poison needles he had brought with him along the way, and there was not much poison left.
After all, she was still too weak and her internal strength was not deep enough. If she hadn't been able to use poison, she probably wouldn't have been able to live with her limbs intact.
She swore that she would never be lazy again, and that she would practice hard this time when she went back, especially her internal strength.
This time someone was protecting her, but what about next time? What about next time?
If she continues to rely on the strength of others, if she is alone one day, her death will come.
After the two of them entered the city, they went straight to the city lord's mansion.
Su Qing changed her Wei hat into a veil so that she could see people more clearly.
She followed Xiao Cheng all the way to the flower hall of the mansion, where a large group of people were already waiting for her.
"Master Xiao, is this our new city lord?"
An old lady with gray hair and over 60 years old asked in disbelief.
She looked at the girl in front of her. She was only fourteen years old at most, and she was still a yellow-haired girl.
If she were to be the city lord, that wouldn't be a joke on Anle City.
As early as a month or two ago, Xiao Cheng ordered Pingcheng to be renamed Anle City.
Su Qing did not speak, but sat directly at the top seat in the flower hall.
Even if she treats the people in the flower hall with courtesy now, she may not be welcomed by them.
On the contrary, it's a bit like putting a hot face on a cold butt.
"Grandma Hua, she is indeed the new city lord of Anle City."
Xiao Cheng replied seriously.
Seeing Xiao Cheng's serious attitude, the people in the flower hall naturally believed his words.
Just asking a yellow-haired girl to be the city leader is not making fun of them.
What can such a yellow-haired girl know? If she becomes the city lord, wouldn't it mean that Anle City will be turned into a mess?
"Seniors, I know what you are thinking. You just think that I, a girl, am not worthy of the position of city lord."
Su Qing said, her voice was like jade beads colliding with each other, clear and loud, and it was a pleasure to listen to it.
"But I kindly ask all the seniors to give me one month to prove myself. If Anle City suffers heavy losses after one month, I will compensate for all the losses and will never break my promise."
Su Qing clasped his fists at them and performed the courtesy of Jianghu, with a sincere attitude.
The Ming Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Donglan Kingdom formed a triangle, and Anle City was located at the center of this triangle.
Anle City is connected to the Donglan Kingdom in the north, the Yan Kingdom in the west, and the Daming Kingdom in the east.
Anyone who owns Anle City is equivalent to owning a cornucopia.
But if Anle City is captured by one of the countries, the other two countries will be in danger.
Therefore, a situation was formed where whoever mobilized troops first would be beaten.
At present, Anle City has just experienced civil strife and is at a weak stage. If it were not at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, it would have been merged long ago.
Su Qing looked at the hesitant people in the flower hall and used her trump card.
"Xiao Cheng, ticket."
After Xiao Cheng got the answer, he went back to his room, took out a box and brought it to the flower hall.
In order to develop Anle City, Su Qing had asked Xiao Cheng to hide 500,000 taels of silver notes in the city lord's mansion. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy now.
Su Qing took out the banknotes and counted them one by one. Each banknote had a face value of 10,000 taels, a total of fifty.
She had no choice but to only have this little change in her house, and the rest was converted into gold and stored in her own Tianyi Bank.
At first, she had too much money and no place to put it, and she was worried about putting it in other people's banks. Fortunately, she opened a bank of her own to store the money.
Xiao Cheng told her everything about Anle City's background. Nowadays, Anle City is prosperous but very poor inside.
She didn't believe it. They could not be moved by the five hundred thousand silver in front of them.
"If you think it's not enough, Tianyi Bank in Anle City is also my property. When the money is not enough, you can go and get it."
Su Qing's words shocked everyone in the flower hall.
Tianyi Bank almost monopolized the bank industry of the Ming Dynasty, and within four years it had spread all over the world, becoming the largest bank in the world.
Granny Hua was in disbelief. She couldn't recover, and it took her a long time to recover.
"Is Tianyi Bank really yours?"
An uncle who was over forty looked at Su Qing with bright eyes, as if he was seeing a piece of gold.
"What if?"
Su Qing spread her hands, shrugged casually, and looked at him innocently.
"Uncle Li, Tianyi Bank belongs to her, as does Jinxiu Pavilion, which is popular all over the capital, and Baichuan Restaurants all over the world. She is also in charge of Shadow Tower now."
After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Su Qing found that her property seemed to be quite small.
Although they are all top-notch, they still sound a little lacking. Once she finishes building Anle City, she can build a villa or something, which should be fine.
"Okay, let's go to Soaring Sky Bank and you will be the city lord for this month. If the situation in Anle City improves after one month, we will recognize you as the new city lord."
After discussing with everyone, Granny Hua decided to agree to Su Qing's January.
In the past, the Shadow Tower was only relatively famous in the assassination community.
But now the Shadow Tower has shown its prominence in the entire world and has become a new star, rising slowly.
"More seniors."
Su Qing has always disliked making promises, because promises are just empty words. What she cares about is actions, and she wants to use actions to prove that she can secure her position as the city lord of Anle City.
