Chapter 67: Terror Influence

ock~Zhang Liyang, who had come to a standstill, gently closed his eyes, feeling the increasingly powerful beating of his heart within his body. He felt the gushing sound of his blood flowing through h...Outside Flying Dragon City, Zhang Liyang was killing everyone in sight. The anger of Tamu surged to the heavens, but he had no way to stop it.

Inside Feilong City, the atmosphere had become somewhat oppressive.

Although news of Cai Ning's assassination hadn't spread, seeing the sudden appearance of troops and menacing constables on the streets cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

War has only just ended a few months ago, is it going to start again already

Inside the lord's manor, He Houde sat solemnly in the living room. He had been sitting there since last night, not uttering a word, yet one could still sense the fury emanating from him.

Although Cai Ning's safety is not within He Houde's jurisdiction, as the border city of Flying Dragon City, He Houde, the magistrate, is also responsible for the assassination attempt against him.

"General, the princess has arrived."

"Come in quickly!"

He Houde, who had been silent all along, hurriedly stood up from his chair, smoothed his clothes slightly, and quickly walked towards the door.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Mu Yinghua rushing over.

Because Mu Yinghua was a princess, and Cai Ning had not died, Mu Yinghua received the news this morning.

"Your Highness."

"General He, please rise. How is Cai the official doing"

"Your Highness, Lord Cai is alive, but he's heavily injured and still unconscious."

Hearing that Cai Ning was out of danger, Mu Yinghua let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Has the doctor seen it What does he say"

"I watched it last night. It's said that his internal injuries are severe, and with Fei Long City's resources, they can only ensure that Lord Cai's condition doesn't worsen."

Then, we should send Master Cai to Liangzhou City. If that doesn't work, we can even send him to the Imperial City.

"Well, I've already sent people to Liangzhou City."

Although Cai Ning was out of danger, Mu Yinghua still came to the backyard. In the room filled with the pungent smell of medicine, she saw Cai Ning, pale and unconscious.

"Luckily, Lord Cai always wears an inner armor. Otherwise…"

"Have you caught the thief"

"The robber was too strong, and the incident happened so suddenly that our people were unable to apprehend him at the scene."

What about clues None

When asked by Mu Yinghua, He Houde awkwardly smiled and shook his head, touching his nose. "No."

After returning to the living room, both fell silent for a moment.

The thief left no clues, and Cai Ning, the chief administrator, fell into a coma. Mu Yinghua didn't know what to do at that moment. She particularly wanted that person by her side.

After a moment of silence, Ho Hak-tak was the first to speak. “Your Highness, although Mr. Cai has fallen into a coma, Fei Long City still needs to operate as normal. Fei Long City can’t fall into chaos.”

What advice does General He have

To appease the populace, the specific affairs of state in Flying Dragon City may require Your Highness to take personal charge.

“Huh Me” He Houde’s words startled Mu Yinghua.

"Yes, it must be you, Your Highness." In truth, He Houde himself was helpless. As the commander of the border defenses, he had to strengthen the border security after this incident. If he were burdened with political affairs, he would be stretched thin.

But I am a princess, how can I rule a city

"Your Highness, this is just a temporary measure. Once Feilong City calms down, the court will naturally send someone to take over."

As if afraid that Mu Yinghua would disagree, He Houde added afterward, “Your Highness wouldn’t want Feilong City, which has just recovered peace, to erupt in conflict again, would you”

I wanted to continue refusing, but He Houde's last sentence stopped me from speaking.

Although Mu Yinghua hadn't been in Feilong City for long, and the city's climate was rather harsh, she felt a sense of freedom and security there.

Especially when walking outside and receiving the devout prostration of those commoners in the city, Mu Yinghua naturally didn't want to see all this beauty destroyed by war.

Mu Yinghua had never been involved in politics before. Suddenly, she was asked to handle a border city. She felt very uneasy inside.

He Houdé, who had become shrewd, also seemed to see this point and quickly opened his mouth to comfort him, "Your Highness, please rest assured, many government affairs have actually been started by Mr. Cai. We only need to ensure that they can run smoothly."

"Well then." Mu Yinghua also knew the situation was special now, and with no other choice, she could only grit her teeth and agree. "But General He still needs to report this matter to the court as soon as possible and let them send someone over to take over."

Seeing that Mu Yinghua agreed, He Houde also let out a sigh of relief, “Your Highness, rest assured, I have reported this matter. At the same time, I have dispatched people to search carefully inside and outside the city, determined to catch the culprit!”

After the two discussed some details again, the City Lord's Mansion issued an announcement saying that Cai Ning had contracted a cold and that political affairs would temporarily be overseen by Princess Huaqing.

Upon the release of this notice, almost all the citizens of Feilong City were taken aback for a moment, followed by a wave of joy that appeared on their faces.

They don't care whether this is temporary or not. All they know is that Fei Long City is now governed by Princess Huaqing, and that living Bodhisattva is in charge.

Is that all!

If you don't do your best, how can you live with yourself

That is simply blasphemy against one's own faith!!

Therefore, although it was expected that Fei Long City would not be completely chaotic under Mu Yinghua's first term as ruler, there would at least be some turbulence in the administration. However, the result turned out to be a major upheaval!

It's not a wave of obstruction, but a wave of fair winds!

Does the government need to cultivate wasteland

This isn't a small matter, you know. We people were born to dig, like we're masters at it. We can't bear to not till two or three acres of land each day.

What Does the government even care about food

Today, I won't dig out five mu of land, and I will eat dirt!

Digging a ditch Who could be faster than me, Li San!

Who in all of Feilong City doesn't know that He Jiu is the most renowned craftsman!

Want payment

What pay To have a living Bodhisattva do work is an immeasurable blessing that you can't even beg for, what pay!

Therefore, in Feilong City, all the people were full of energy. Even the merchants, hoping to share in the blessings of the living Bodhisattva, worked hard with their resources, contributing both effort and money. At this moment, under Mu Yinghua's governance, the entire Feilong City was united as one rope.

And the result is, often a decree issued in the morning, has results by the afternoon. A three-day workload is done beautifully in one day!

The entire Flying Dragon City seemed to come alive under Mu Yinghua's rule, no, or perhaps it's more accurate to say its vitality erupted!

In this situation, not only was He Houde dumbfounded, but even Mu Yinghua herself looked stunned.

In Mu Yinghua's heart, she only felt that she had done a few things she should have done. She didn't know at all that she actually had such terrifying influence in Flying Dragon City!ed the ship.This river is a tributary of the Huai River, flowing through the northwest region of the Great Qin Dynasty.
