After finishing his words, Qin Xiao turned around and left the smelter.
Suzaku, Elder Xuanwu and Root stared wide-eyed.
"You bastard!" Suzaku grabbed Root and asked, "How many things are you hiding!"
"It's gone, it's really gone!" Root begged for mercy in a panic.
"It's good now, I didn't target that kid, but I was defeated by him!" Suzaku threw Root on the ground, extremely annoyed.
"Anyway, the smelter has a lot to do with it, and nothing can be lost!" Xuanwu looked at Root, "How long can it take you to repair those smelters?"
"Back to Elder Xuanwu.
It can't be repaired anymore." At this time, Lute could only tell the truth: "Those maintenance technicians who understand technology have all been eaten by evil chiefs, and there are only a few apprentices left.
They don't even have the principle of smelting furnaces Make it clear, I’m afraid it will get worse and worse.”
"."
When Elder Xuanwu heard this, blue veins protruded from his forehead.
He raised his hand and splattered blood on the spot, sending Lute back to the west.
"Xuanwu, why did you kill him!" Suzaku complained.
"This kind of waste, if I don't kill him, it's hard to solve my hatred!"
"You are such an idiot!" Suzaku stomped his feet: "Lute knows the situation of the smelter best, what if you kill him? We can't be played by that kid in the palm of his hand!"
"What else can I do?!" Xuanwu said angrily: "The sack you made yourself has nothing to do with me.
The smelter is directly under your management.
That kid has no reason to blame me!"
"You!" Suzaku glared: "Good Xuanwu, you don't recognize people when you put on your pants.
If you dare to do this, I will tell you all those shameful things about you!"
"Say it out!" Xuan Wu was not to be outdone: "You think your own butt is clean? At worst, we both die together!"
The two men were at war, and stared at each other for a while.
Suddenly, I feel that it is extremely stupid to fight and conflict at this time.
"It doesn't make any sense for us to hurt each other at this time!"
"That's right, you should think about how to deal with that nasty kid!"
"Well, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"Say it! Don't dawdle!"
"I once heard that there is a laboratory in the city lord's mansion, and there is a mad scientist named Stein in it.
The previous city lord has always said that he is a lunatic, but that guy has indeed created a lot of new things.
He should have some skills!" Xuan Wu said: "You can look for him, that guy should know how to repair the smelting furnace!"
"Stein?!" Suzaku shook his head, "That guy is a lunatic, you asked me to find him, why don't you go by yourself?"
"I'm not familiar with him." Xuanwu stammered: "Besides, there were some grievances before.
That guy will never see me, so it's more appropriate for you to go."
Suzaku's complexion changed back and forth several times.
Although it felt unreliable to make up his mind, there was no other way but this at the moment, so he simply nodded: "Okay, then I'll try it!"
"Come on!" Xuanwu waved his hand: "It is said that Stein likes strawberry cake very much, remember to bring some more for him!"
"All right."
Returning from the smelter to the city lord's office, Qin Xiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, staring in thought.
"City Lord, Elder Qinglong please see me!" Tula walked in and said.
"Let him in!" Qin Xiao turned around and sat on the chair.
"Yes!"
"Master City Lord!" Elder Qinglong walked in, saluted, and said, "I heard that Suzaku and Xuanwu have both gone to the smelter.
I have too many things to do here, and I can't get away."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao showed a half-smile expression: "Really, you are quite well-informed!"
Elder Qinglong was a little embarrassed, neither was it silent, nor was it wrong to continue talking.
After a long while, he sighed: "City Master, Suzaku has been plotting to take over for a long time, please forgive me for not being able to explain clearly for some reason, I just came here to ask, did they make things difficult for you? Did they do anything excessive?"
When Qin Xiao heard the words, he didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Qinglong, if I take this opportunity to carry out a thorough reform of the system in Iron City, what do you think?"
"Total reform?" Qinglong's heart skipped a beat: "My lord, what do you mean by that?"
"It's so stupid to let only four core elders and one city lord participate in the management of such a big city!" Qin Xiao said: "And the system is too rigid and feudal, and many citizens are already dissatisfied.
After Kui Chao, one-third of the people died, and now according to incomplete statistics, there are nearly a thousand people in the team, and they plan to leave Steel City in the near future and go to other places to make a living!"
"I'm worried that this team will grow bigger and bigger!"
"Even if we have enough magic-weave steel ingots and a large number of magic-weave war puppets, but there are no citizens, the city will eventually decline."
"If you want to reverse this situation, you must carry out thorough and fundamental reforms!"
Qinglong was shocked when he heard the words, as if he had a premonition of Qin Xiao's grand ambitions and ambitions, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, city lord, I'm listening!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Qinglong, we are also old friends.
This reform will shake the core of Iron City's rule.
Do you choose to join it, or follow the trend, or sternly reject it?"
"Of course I'm going to join it!" Qinglong said without hesitation, "I will support every decision of the city lord!"
He felt a faint murderous aura in this office.
If I didn't give Qin Xiao a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid that what awaits me may not be death, but endless disasters in the black prison.
"Very good!" Qin Xiao nodded: "As for Suzaku and Xuanwu, they both wanted to target me, but they didn't have enough means, so I turned against them.
It is estimated that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, they will appear on my desk." The two of them's retirement applications."
When Qinglong heard this, he was secretly startled.
In this head-to-head confrontation, Qin Xiao actually decided to eat those two old fritters?
Retirement application?
This is clearly a change of dynasty!
However, once the emperor and the courtiers, since ancient times, the new rulers have been in turmoil and bloody for a while.
I thought that Qin Xiao would be a quiet and inactive king, but he had already planned in his heart.
"Qinglong, I need you to do something!" Qin Xiao said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will give a speech to all residents of Steel City!"
"You must convey this news.
This speech is related to the livelihood of every citizen.
If there is nothing important, you must be present!"
"Yes!" Qinglong nodded vigorously.
at dusk.
Qin Xiao did not go to the steel defense line in the north of the city, but was in the office, preparing the speech for tomorrow noon.
After these days of tempering, the soldiers are already fully proficient in driving and operating the city defense type and the conquest type magic-weave war puppets, and they have also formed cooperation and tacit understanding with each other.
If they enter the battlefield again, they will never be beaten like last time and can only hug together to keep warm.
After sleeping for a whole day, Valinda, who had killed more than a dozen city defense packages after waking up, also came to the defense line early with a [-]-meter long knife, looking at the gradually darkening distance, with the flames of war burning in her eyes.
Tonight, Aluosu also personally guarded.
This was supposed to be the task of Elder Xuanwu, but this guy obviously didn't care about it, and Aluosu was happy to help him sit in the north of the city.
At this time, he was holding a box of exquisite, freshly baked, and extremely attractive strawberry cake, and solemnly handed it to Suzaku.
"Please, please make sure to convince Stein to do us this favor!"
Elder Suzaku looked at him with some doubts.
Isn't it just to ask Stein for help? That guy is crazy, but he is not a murderer.
As for that?
But the subsequent experience made her regret her current choice.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Elder Suzaku carried the strawberry cake and came to the door of the laboratory with anxiety.
Just as he was thinking about how to knock on the door, light suddenly appeared from the glass screen on the wall, showing Stein's big face.
"Who? Come to my laboratory door so late, what's the plan?!"
Elder Suzaku pursed his lips, and said softly, "Mr.
Stein, I am Elder Suzaku from the city.
I brought your favorite strawberry cake.
I would like to ask you to do a trivial matter!"
"Suzaku? Oh~~ Four core elders!" Stein shook his head: "Come in!"
The door opened, Elder Suzaku was overjoyed, and walked in.
