Since he ascended to the throne, he has been working diligently, starting early and working hard.
Even though the city was now stable, he was still busy in front of the palace planning some of the city’s future matters.
At that moment, a soldier came to report that Han Qianqian had returned to the city with his wife.
On hearing this, he immediately got up and hurriedly led a group of people around him towards the outside of the palace to greet Han Qianqian and his wife.
However, when he arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s residence, he did not see Han Qianqian coming, instead, the chief of the soldiers guarding the city was slowly walking over carrying a shovel.
“Where is my brother-in-law?” Fulin Qi asked.
The soldier leader was also bewildered: “Report to the city lord, I don’t know either, I was going to come to inform you, but the alliance lord just told me to go to the marketplace to buy a shovel.”
With those words, he showed the shovel to Fu Lin and the others on purpose.
Fu Lin’s group of executives looked completely dumbfounded.
What was the purpose of buying a shovel?
You don’t even have to use this to kill people.
“Did he say what he was buying this for?” Fulin asked.
The little soldier leader shook his head, “His old man didn’t say this, so I don’t know what it’s for.”
“This Lord Han wouldn’t want to buy this to grow land, would he?”
“This looks like a shovel for digging, what is he going to do with this? It couldn’t be that he wants to have some kind of idyllic life with the alliance’s wife, could it?”
“Although what you’re saying is a bit of a stretch, the connection to this shovel seems to be the biggest possibility at the moment.”
Just as the group of people were talking, over there Han Qianqian slowly walked over with Su Yingxia under the warm greeting of the city folk.
The group of people immediately stopped talking and stood at attention, their faces piled up with smiles as they greeted each other respectfully.
“Brother-in-law, Sister Yingxia, why didn’t you send someone to tell me in advance that you were coming back, and I would send someone to pick you up?” Fu Lin took the lead in welcoming him and said warmly.
“We are not too old to walk, so who needs to pick us up? We can just walk in ourselves, and it’s good to see the scenery along the way.” Han Qianqian said with a polite smile.
“What the alliance master said is extremely true.”
“Yes, yes.”
Behind Fu Lin, a group of executives couldn’t help but patronise him.
“Caili City is still being governed quite well, keep up the good work.” Han Qianqian patted Fu Lin’s shoulder, and then, walked towards the little soldier leader.
Receiving Han Qianqian’s approval, Fu Lin was naturally delighted and turned back to follow Han Qianqian’s lead and walked over as well.
Burning the text
The leader of the soldiers, who had never seen such a battle, was a bit frightened and uncomfortable, and subconsciously took the shovel out of his hand.
Han Qianqian took the shovel and looked at it, it was still in good condition: “How much is it?”
The little leader of the soldiers hastily shook his head: “Hey ……, it’s an honor for my subordinates to …… serve the allied lord, this small amount is not needed.”
“Allied Lord doesn’t mean privileged either, how much should be paid.” With those words, Han Qianqian directly took out a piece of jewellery from his spatial ring and threw it to the little chief, “The extra counts as your hard work.”
A shovel was at most two purple crystals, but the jewellery Han Qianqian gave him was casually worth at least tens of thousands of dollars, which made the little chieftain’s hands a little hot for a while.
“The alliance master has rewarded you, so you should take it.” Fu Lin laughed and said.
Upon hearing this, the little chief nodded and knelt on the ground, saying gratefully, “Many thanks to the alliance master.”
“Taking the money and receiving the reward was meant to encourage you, so don’t get carried away because you are happy. The defence of the city gates is the first step of a city, and the safety of the whole city is on your shoulders.” Han Qianqian said.
“Don’t worry, my subordinate will definitely bow and scrape, and will never let down the trust of the alliance and the city lord.”
“Good, if the City Lord doesn’t need you for anything else, you can go down and go about your business.” Han Qianqian nodded.
He could have simply prevented him from going down, but Han Qianqian had to pull down Fu Lin, and was actually looking after Fu Lin’s face.
Of course, Fu Lin understood Han Qianqian’s intention and looked at the little chief, also giving Han Qianqian enough face: “I don’t have any other business, the alliance master told you to go about your business, so you can go.”
The little chief nodded and took the jewellery and went down with a fart.
At this moment, Han Qianqian looked back at Fulin: “I’m going to dig up a grave, and I’ll take a group of you guys to get some pay on the way, so you can arrange some staff.”
“Digging graves? Wages?”
The group of people were all wondering, looking at each other in confusion ……
