Painting of the Nine Immortals Chapter 384: The king is gone
After ten days.
The morning sun is rising, and a pale golden afterglow is cast down, covering this vicissitudes of ancient city.
On the city wall, Chu Zhongtian looked indifferent, wearing a golden robe. Like the supreme emperor above the nine heavens, he is awe-inspiring, not angry and majestic.
Beside him, Huang Er'er is dressed in luxurious purple clothes, he wears a lun scarf on his head and a feather fan in his hand. Without the usual wretched temperament, he was full of wisdom like a counselor.
Below, the leaders of the major forces stand at the forefront, and behind are all the residents of Sin City.
Looking ahead, the heads are crowded, and there are tens of thousands of people.
Everyone has a respectful look on their faces, carefully looking at Chu Zhongtian, the new king.
Ling Xian was also standing in the crowd, looking at Chu Zhongtian on the wall, but his eyes were full of appreciation instead of awe.
Originally, he was still a little worried about whether Chu Zhongtian could survive the scene. But at the moment, seeing that this person is not angry and pretentious, he is relieved immediately.
"I think too much. As a cultivator in the alchemy phase, no matter how unbearable, he will still be a bit majestic, which is enough to shock the people of Sin City." Ling Xian smiled faintly.
Then he turned his gaze to Huang Er'er, and saw that this person was shaking a feather fan, giving people a sense of elegance and wisdom, and he couldn't help but laughed: "On weekdays, he is a foolish man, and when it comes to formal occasions, he barely looks at it. Got it."
He didn't know that if he hadn't given him the position of general manager, Huang Er'er might still be so wretched. Even if he wears gold and silver, it is difficult to change his inner cowardice and outer temperament.
When Huang Er'er knew that he was about to become the top figure in Sin City, his confidence was naturally sufficient, and his external temperament changed accordingly.
It can be said that without Lingxian, there would be no Huang Er'er now.
This is why Huang Er'er is grateful to him.
"Both of them are very good, and I will be relieved if they are there."
Looking at Chu Zhongtian and Huang Er'er on the city wall, Ling Xian smiled faintly, completely relieved, and muttered to himself: "Next, when the ceremony is over, I can leave with peace of mind."
And just as he was talking to himself, Huang Er'er on the wall changed his expression and said: "Brother Chu, the time is almost here, you can start."
"Also."
Chu Zhongtian nodded lightly, full of style. He glanced over the dark crowd below, and said lightly: "Presumably you have already understood the purpose of my gathering here today."
Hearing that, there is still that silence below, without making any sound.
Just three days ago, Chu Zhongtian prepared everything, and then announced it to the whole city to hold a grand ceremony today. From that day on, the people in Sin City had guessed his plan and knew that he was planning to solemnly declare who would rule the Sin City in the future.
"It seems that you have already guessed it, so I won't be nonsense." Chu Zhongtian spoke lightly, scanned the audience with majestic eyes, and slowly uttered a plain but unquestionable word.
"From now on, I, Chu Zhongtian, will be the new ruler of this sin city. If anyone refuses to accept it, please stand up."
The voice fell, and the scene was silent.
Everyone was silent, and their faces were full of complex colors.
Shock, longing, envy, awe and other emotions fill everyone's face. Although everyone had guessed that it would be such a result, when they heard Chu Zhongtian personally say it, they still felt a violent shock and was shocked silently.
In other words, I couldn't say anything.
What else can I say?
The matter is already in front of you. In such a sin city where the three major forces have collapsed, Chu Zhongtian is the strongest one. If he wants to rule Sin City and come to the side, who would dare to say nothing?
Therefore, everyone present was silent and tacitly acquiesced in this result.
When he saw this, the corners of Ling Xian's mouth in the crowd raised, revealing a happy smile. He knew that from this moment on, as long as there were no outside powerhouses in the pill-consolidation period, the city of sin would be the world of Chu Zhongtian.
No, it's his world.
How can he not feel happy in this way?
Chu Zhongtian on the city wall also smiled with joy, feeling that he had not lived up to Ling Xian's expectations, and said: "Very well, since you have no objections, then you will call me City Lord from now on."
Speaking, he turned his gaze to Huang Er'er and said: "I will leave it to you next."
Huang Er'er nodded, and then took a step forward, saying: "Everyone, the so-called state-owned national law, the family has house rules. Now I will read the rules of Sin City."
"In fact, there is nothing. As usual, the City Lord’s Mansion will not control what you should do and how to do it. But there is one thing, I hope you can firmly abide by it. That is taxation."
Huang Er'er shook the feather fan with a bit of strategizing, deciding to win the demeanor of a counselor thousands of miles away, saying: "The common people naturally do not need to pay taxes, but the merchants who open stores in the city, you need to ask the city lord every year. The government pays 30% of the total income."
The voice fell, and the crowd suddenly exploded, but instead of protesting, they applauded.
Be aware that when the three major powers rule, merchants need to pay 50% of the tax, and those civilians also need to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones. However, at the moment, the taxation of the common people has been wiped out, and the merchants have dropped from 50% to 30%. How can this make everyone not happy?
At the moment, everyone looked at Chu Zhongtian with a little more respect. Originally, they still had some resistance to this new ruler, but as soon as this decree came out, they immediately fell to Chu Zhongtian.
Seeing this, Ling Xian, who was hiding in the crowd, nodded in satisfaction. He proposed this law. One is to reduce the pressure on civilians, and the other is to bring the people to their hearts, and to facilitate his implementation of subsequent laws.
After all, his ultimate goal is to turn the city of sin into a city without killings. Only by letting the residents of this city fall in love with him, can he introduce those restrictive laws.
"Well, as soon as this decree comes out, no one will resist Chu Zhongtian in Sin City. In other words, I can leave with peace of mind." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ling Xian's mouth, and he took a step forward. , Walked towards the gate of the city.
His move was immediately noticed by the condescending Chu Zhongtian, and then, he made a ghostly speech that silenced the audience.
"He proposed this decree, and he is the real Lord of Sin City!"
The voice fell down~IndoMTL.com~ The crowd was struck by lightning, and suddenly fell into a sluggish state. After that, they all looked at Lingxian with gratitude, respect, and admiration.
Feeling the countless eager gazes behind him, Ling Xian smiled helplessly, and did not turn his head back, he still walked towards the gate of the city.
As a result, he left a back view of everyone behind.
In the eyes of everyone on the scene, that back figure is neither tall nor free and easy, but it is branded in the hearts of all of them.
Eternal life is indelible.
Because that is the back of the true king of Sin City!
