Chapter 257 Confrontation (5)
If someone comes to Nanyun City again, they will be shocked by the changes here. In just two and a half years, this place has changed from a deserted city, a cancerous tumor in Xiling, to an ordinary big city that looks quite distinctive.

That's right, an ordinary big city that looks quite distinctive.

Its characteristic lies in the unique and special layout of its buildings and streets, and some of the items sold in the city are unique and interesting. However, even if these are interesting and special, it is just an ordinary big city in the eyes of others, and there is no need to pay more attention.

Today, two years later, Nanyun City is finally slowly opening to the outside world, but the flow of people coming and going is not too much, and most of them are walking businessmen.

This kind of achievement is not comparable to other prosperous big cities, but it is still enough to surprise many people.

After all, in the eyes of most people, this abandoned city will only be a waste of money in the hands of Bai Shuilong, without any achievements and improvements. Who would have thought that it would really come alive.

Of course, some people are ironic in their hearts: If they are given the amount of silver that Bai Shuilong invested in Nanyun City, they can also bring Nanyun City back to life, and they can do it several times better than Bai Shuilong .

More people predicted that Nanyun City could only reach such a level that it could allow people to survive, but it was poorer than ordinary small towns.

The words of these outsiders can't affect Shuilong, let alone the people in Nanyun City.

In the past two years, the people who had always respected Shuilong had already truly returned their hearts to her and Nanyun City.

On this day, it was snowing in the sky, and the pear-like snow was falling on the houses on the ground, and the streets were full of children's laughter.

From the faces of the people in Nanyun City, it can be seen that this year is the most comfortable and happy winter for them.

Winters in the past were despair and fear for them, because the arrival of winter meant that some of them would die of starvation and cold, and no one would have the leisure to enjoy the snow scenery.

'Da da da' the rapid sound of horseshoes reached everyone's ears.

When the adults saw the galloping horses approaching in the distance, they all showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

"Ah—" A scream suddenly sounded.

It turned out that a group of children were playing around on the street. When they saw the galloping horses approaching, they rushed away. Only one child ran a little slower and fell into the snow. Seeing the horse's hoof that was about to step on him, the child stared. His eyes were wide open, full of anger and terror, but he didn't even cry.

In Nanyun City, as long as the children are not one or two years old, they have experienced the hardships of life in the past, and their character and strength are beyond the comparison of ordinary children of the same age.

When the horseman saw the child, he couldn't pull the rein anymore, so he didn't intend to pull it, thinking it would depend on the child's luck.

Perhaps he was lucky that the horse's hoof just missed him.

A figure quickly came over, stabbed the horizontal knife into the horse, sprayed hot horse blood, and dyed the child's face red.

"Horse riding is not allowed in Nanyun City. Didn't you see the sign when you entered the city!" A tall man stood on the ground and scolded the rider in a cold voice.

The man was wearing a dark blue tight-fitting military uniform, with armor on the joints of his body, a scabbard on his waist, and a dark blue totem carved on the silver-white armor on his right shoulder.

"It's a law enforcement guard." The people of Nanyun City recognized this person's identity, and many young people's eyes showed envy.

The law enforcement guards are a group of people personally selected by the city lord to serve as the guards in charge of order in Nanyun City.

This is second only to the city lord's personal guard army, and the young people in Nanyun City most want to join the army. I heard that after becoming a law enforcement guard, the chances of becoming the city lord's personal guard army are even higher.

For the young people in Nanyun City, being able to become a law enforcement guard is a supreme honor, and they can also get many privileges, better treatment, and the respect of the people.

"I'm here to convey the emperor's will to Nanyun City Lord, how dare you treat me like this!" the man on the ground shouted angrily.

The law enforcement guard said coldly: "This is Nanyun City, so you have to follow the rules of Nanyun City."

"you--"

The law enforcement man ignored him, turned around and said to the blood-stained child on the ground, "Still up?"

"Legs are numb." The child blushed and said embarrassedly.

"Useless stuff." The law enforcement guard laughed and scolded, reaching out to help him.

The child shook his head and said stubbornly, "No, I can do it myself."

The law enforcement guard nodded, and really withdrew his hand.

At this time, two men and women in law enforcement uniforms approached not far away. They looked at the galloping horses on the ground and the angry man in Xiling costumes. They understood what happened without asking. .

The tall law enforcement man stepped forward and pulled out the big knife stuck in the horse's belly, shook off the blood on the knife surface, retracted the scabbard, and said to the two people behind: "You take him to the law enforcement department." While speaking, he walked up to the man and stretched out his hands to search his body.

The Xiling man was taken aback. Seeing him pull out the bright yellow imperial edict scroll from his arms, his face became more and more ugly, "You are committing a crime! You...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by the female law enforcement guard, and handed it to the man who came with him, "You delay."

The man smiled helplessly, "Yes, yes, who told you that you are a woman." After saying that, he really dragged the Xiling man away.

People in Nanyun City don't have a good impression of people from Xiling Kingdom, especially the arrogant Xiling people who came out of the imperial city.

After the two nodded to the tall law enforcement guard, they dragged them away.

The tall law enforcement guard rushed towards the city lord's mansion with the imperial decree.

At noon two days later, the people of Nanyun City saw a carriage driving on the street, and watched the carriage leave one by one.

They all know that in Nanyun City, only the city lord can ride a horse and a carriage.This is not Shuilong's own request, but the request of the people.

From this point alone, it is enough to see their respect and love for Shuilong.

Sitting in the carriage were Shuilong and Changsun Rongji.

"It has been more than half a year since I went to Qiyang City for the last time and then returned to Nanyun City." Shui Long secretly calculated.

Changsun Rongji noticed her words.

'Go' to Qiyang City and 'back' to Nanyun City.

The number of going and returning is enough for him to tell whether Shuilong has a high or low sense of belonging to the two places.

Shui Long thought that the last half a year they stayed in Nanyun City was actually not that long, more time was spent elsewhere, so much time has passed before they knew it.

"This year's Chinese New Year, the envoys from the two countries will spend together in Xiling, do they have to be there?"
