The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World - Chapter 619
c619 Meeting
Since they had seen everything, Yao Yan let go. She lay on the sofa and showed Li Meng her beauty.
Holding the brush, Li Meng started to paint on the drawing board…
After a few strokes, Li Meng frowned slightly, tore off the drawing paper from the drawing board and threw it on the ground.
Seeing this, 666 hurried forward and laid a new layer of paper.
“Huh…”
After taking a deep breath, Li Meng calmed down, looked at Yao Yan, and painted on the drawing paper again.
After a few more strokes, Li Meng frowned slightly, tore off the drawing paper again and threw it on the ground.
Looking at the two pieces of drawing paper on the ground, Li Meng laughed dumbly and shook his head.
I didn’t expect that he, who was so determined, would be affected by Yao Yan.
This human curiosity is really strong, and it actually shook his willpower.
Giving the palette and brush to 666, Li Meng turned and walked towards Yao Yan.
Seeing the Governor coming over, Yao Yan looked puzzled and asked in confusion: “My Lord, what’s wrong?”
Beside Yao Yan, Li Meng sat down, stretched out his right hand, pinched her chin, and said with a smile: “Before painting, you have to calm my heart.”
She was stunned, but Yao Yan was not a fool. She naturally knew what the Lord meant.
Her face was slightly red, and there was only shyness in Yao Yan’s eyes. She didn’t dare to look directly at Li Meng’s eyes and nodded.
With a slight smile, Li Meng stood up, bent down and picked up Yao Yan in a princess hug, and strode towards the bedroom.
At this time, 666 naturally wouldn’t follow, she just watched Li Meng holding Yao Yan away.
A few days later…
The cold wind was howling, the snow was rolling, and in the dim sky and earth, under the clouds, a “Banshee” transport plane was flying close to the clouds.
In the dim sky, the engine spewing bluish-white flames was so dazzling.
Sitting in the cabin, Yuan Shilong looked through the window at the land covered by snow outside, with a thoughtful look on his face.
His left hand habitually rested on the bracelet on his right wrist, and his fingertips gently stroked the bracelet.
When he went to Black Flag City, he had his wife by his side, but now, he returned to Qingcheng alone.
I don’t know how Yan’er is doing…
His face was calm. Although he left Yan’er with the governor, Yuan Shilong didn’t think he was wrong.
People die for money, and birds die for food. He wanted to secure his position and must have a seat in the power center of Black Flag City.
This position was difficult for him to get alone, but he had a beautiful wife. As long as he had a little relationship with the governor, he would have a better future.
Yan’er would understand him. He did this not only for himself, but also for Yan’er, because he knew very well what his Yan’er wanted.
Women all hope that their husbands can be high above and become the ones in power, and his Yan’er would not want him to be just a civilian with nothing.
Time flies so fast. After leaving Black Flag City, half a month has passed before he knew it.
During this half month, he was not idle. He borrowed a sum of money in the name of the district government and also issued a tender to all construction companies for the renovation project of Qingcheng.
At the same time, he also sent envoys to Yuancheng, Shucheng, and Xiangcheng to meet with the city lords of the three cities in Yuancheng.
Today is the day to meet with the city lords of the three cities. Early in the morning, he took the “Banshee” transport plane to Yuancheng.
“District Chief, we are here…”
The civilian version of the “Banshee” transport plane is manned, not unmanned.
For settlements outside, Black Flag City allows the construction of a city guard, similar to the armed police, and more or less some “Banshee” transport planes will be equipped.
Just ahead, among the mountains, a city stands in the ice and snow.
Because the envoys were sent in advance to greet, the soldiers on the city wall saw the approaching “Banshee” transport plane, but they just looked at it curiously.
The engine roared, and the Banshee transport plane, which had lowered its altitude, flew low over the city wall and flew towards the City Lord’s Mansion in the city.
“What is that?”
The roar from the sky attracted the attention of pedestrians on the street, and they all looked up at the sky.
As they watched, the Banshee transport plane flew over the building at a low altitude, causing a burst of exclamations.
Soon, just a few minutes later, the Banshee transport plane arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion and slowly landed in the outer courtyard.
In front of the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, the three people who received the news had been waiting for a long time. They looked at the descending Banshee transport plane with uncertain expressions on their faces.
As the cabin door slowly opened, Yuan Shilong came out in a black military coat and leather shoes.
Although he had been prepared, Yuan Shilong couldn’t help shivering as soon as he left the cabin.
Seeing Yuan Shilong coming over in a brand new military coat, one person said sarcastically: “Long time no see, City Lord Yuan is really getting more and more powerful.”
Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhao Heng, Wu Sande, Cao Zhen, the three city lords, Yuan Shilong’s face was calm.
He chose to ignore Wu Sande’s sarcasm.
Cao Zhen laughed and said: “It’s cold outside, let’s talk inside.”
Led by Cao Zhen, a group of four people entered the City Lord’s Mansion.
In a meeting room, four people sat on the sofa around a stove.
As soon as he sat down, Cao Zhen said, “Since the news of the coalition’s failure came back, I was very worried about my brother’s safety. Now it seems that my brother is not only fine, but also living a good life. I am relieved.”
Zhao Heng also looked at Yuan Shilong with curiosity and asked, “City Lord Yuan, it has been more than a year. What happened in Qingcheng after the coalition’s failure?”
Facing the gazes of the three people, Yuan Shilong’s expression was calm, and he said calmly, “I am no longer the city lord, but the district head of the Qingcheng settlement. Qingcheng is no longer the Qingcheng of the past, but a settlement under the Black Flag City.”
Hearing this, the three people showed understanding on their faces. They had guessed this answer long ago.
The Black Flag City has already come to the door. As the losing party, how can Qingcheng remain unscathed?
With a smile, Cao Zhen asked, “I wonder why District Chief Yuan met with us this time? In the past, our four cities had close contacts, but now, I’m afraid District Chief Yuan can no longer make the decision.”
With a faint smile, Yuan Shilong said, “You are right, but I believe that our contacts will be closer in the future.”
With a slight twitch of his eyebrows, Zhao Heng said in a deep voice, “District Chief Yuan, we are all acquaintances. If you have something to say, just say it. We don’t like to play dumb.”
The smile on his face disappeared. Facing the gazes of the three people, Yuan Shilong said calmly, “Then I won’t waste words. This time I came to lobby the three of you, no, to be precise, to issue the ultimatum from Black Flag City to the three of you.”
With a slight frown, the expressions on the faces of the three people sank when they heard what Yuan Shilong said.
