Chapter 760: Replacing the City Lord and Governing the City!
With the arrest of the conspirators, the order in the city was further consolidated.
The reputation of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang also spread throughout the city during this incident, and people began to regard them as guardians.
The city lord was very satisfied with the performance of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang, and he decided to give them higher honors and powers so that they could better serve the city.
Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang accepted the rewards from the city lord, they knew in their hearts that their responsibilities were even greater.
They knew that only by continuous efforts and dedication could they truly protect the city.
As the days passed, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's prestige in the city became higher and higher.
They not only handled the big and small affairs of the city, but also often went deep into the people to understand the needs and difficulties of the people.
During a visit to the people, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang encountered a problem.
An old farmer complained to them that his fields were abandoned due to years of drought, and the livelihood of his family became a problem.
After hearing this, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to go to the old farmer's fields to check the situation in person.
They found that the old farmer's fields had indeed become dry and cracked due to lack of water. If it was not solved in time, it would affect the harvest of the entire village.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang returned to the city lord's mansion. They reported the situation to the city lord and proposed a solution.
They suggested building a canal to bring river water from a distance to the village to solve the drought problem.
The city lord supported their proposal and allocated special funds.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang personally supervised the construction of the canal. They worked with the villagers and worked together for the future of the village.
After months of hard work, the canal was finally built.
When the clear river water slowly flowed into the dry fields, the villagers cheered and they knew that this meant the hope of a good harvest.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the smiles on the faces of the villagers, their hearts were filled with satisfaction and relief.
They knew that their efforts were not in vain, and they brought real changes to the city.
As time went on, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's influence in the city grew.
They not only became the city lord's right-hand men, but also became heroes in the hearts of the people.
However, they also knew that their mission was far from over.
Behind the peace and prosperity of the city, there are still various challenges and threats lurking.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that they must always be vigilant and ready to deal with any problems that may arise.
They believed that as long as they persevered, the city would become better.
In the meeting hall one evening, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discussed the future planning of the city with the city lord.
The city lord looked at the two young people in front of him, his eyes full of admiration and trust.
"Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you have done a good job." There was a hint of fatigue in the city lord's voice, but more of relief. The next thing, just leave it to me to deal with. "
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew that their duties had ended here.
Next, they should naturally continue their journey and their own practice.
After all, a practitioner can't always stay in a city.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang felt an inexplicable loss in their hearts amid the praise of the city lord.
They knew that although they had established immortal achievements in the city, their practice was far from over.
They needed to move forward, explore a wider world, and face more challenges.
"Lord City Lord, we will remember your trust and praise." Luo Chen said respectfully, "But our practice is still long, we can't stand still."
Qing Shuang also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Lord City Lord, although we will leave, we will remember the peace and prosperity of this city in our hearts, and pray for it wherever we go. "
The city lord smiled slightly, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes, "I understand your ambitions, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, you are eagles soaring in the sky, and you should not be bound by this city wall. Go, pursue your path, but remember, this city will always be your home. "
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang bowed deeply, then turned and left the meeting hall.
They knew that the next road would be a new journey.
Before leaving, they decided to tour the city again and say goodbye to those they helped.
They walked through the bustling market, and the people who had been panicked by the conspirators now had happy smiles on their faces.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were filled with relief.
They came to the fields of the old farmer, where the canals had been fully put into use, and the green crops in the fields heralded a bumper harvest season. The old farmer saw them and excitedly shook their hands, "Thanks to you, we have today's harvest. You are the benefactors of our whole family. "
Luo Chen smiled and responded, "This is what we should do. We are also very happy to see you live a good life."
Qing Shuang said softly, "Old man, we are about to embark on a new journey, but we will remember you and hope that your life will get better and better."
After saying goodbye to the old farmer, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued to move forward.
They walked through every corner of the city and said goodbye to the soldiers who had fought side by side one by one.
The soldiers' eyes were full of reluctance, but they knew that Luo Chen and Qing Shuang still had a long way to go.
Finally, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang arrived at the city gate.
They looked back at the city where they had devoted countless efforts, and their hearts were full of emotion.
"Let's go." Luo Chen said softly.
"Well, it's time." Qing Shuang responded.
The two walked out of the city gate side by side and embarked on a new journey.
Their backs seemed particularly firm in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if foreshadowing that although their future path was full of unknowns, they would be fearless and move forward courageously.
......
As time passed.
In a blink of an eye, it was three days later.
At this time, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang had already left the city very far away.
Originally, they planned to go to the next city.
However, as they walked, they were suddenly attracted by some small fights on the way.
"Little thief, don't run."
A man shouted loudly while chasing a short but extremely fast man in black.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this was not their duty, but as practitioners, they could not turn a blind eye to the injustice before their eyes.
Luo Chen nodded gently, and Qing Shuang understood what he meant.
"Let's go and have a look." Qing Shuang said softly.
The two quickly followed and soon caught up with the pursuer.
Luo Chen blocked the way of the man in black, while Qing Shuang blocked the way of the pursuer.
"Brother, what happened?" Luo Chen asked the pursuer politely.
The pursuer panted and pointed at the man in black and said, "This man stole my goods, and I was about to arrest him."
The man in black looked innocent and defended himself, "I didn't steal it, I just passed by, but he insisted that I stole it."
Luo Chen looked at the two people and knew that things might not be as simple as they seemed.
He turned to the man in black and asked gently, "Why are you running away?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "I... I'm just afraid. I've been wronged before, so when I see someone chasing me, I instinctively run away."
Qingshuang's heart softened after hearing this. She knew that there are many unknown hardships in this world.
She turned to the pursuer and said calmly, "Brother, can you tell us what your goods are?"
The pursuer hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth: "It's a batch of medicinal herbs. I'm a drug dealer. These medicinal herbs are very important to me."
Luo Chen nodded, and he turned to the man in black: "Can you prove your innocence?"
The man in black took out a cloth bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were some dried herbs inside: "These are picked by myself. I'm a herbalist. I'm going to sell these medicinal herbs."
Luo Chen and Qingshuang carefully examined the two batches of medicinal herbs and found that although the types were similar, the medicinal herbs of the man in black were obviously of higher quality.
Luo Chen made a judgment in his heart, and he turned to the pursuer: "Big brother, although your herbs are precious, the herbs of this herbalist are of better quality. Perhaps you can sit down and talk to see if there is any misunderstanding."
After listening to Luo Chen's words, the pursuer calmed down. He carefully looked at the herbs of the man in black and found that it was indeed as Luo Chen said.
He realized that he might have misunderstood the other party, so he apologized to the man in black.
The man in black accepted the apology, and the two finally reached a settlement.
The herbalist agreed to sell some of his herbs to the drug dealer, and the drug dealer paid the corresponding fees.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang watched the two reconcile and felt relieved.
They knew that the road to cultivation was long, but every time they helped others, they would improve their own cultivation.
"Thank you for your help." The drug dealer said gratefully.
"You're welcome. This is what we should do." Luo Chen responded with a smile.
Qing Shuang added: "I hope you will be smooth in the future and there will be no more misunderstandings."
After saying goodbye to the two, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang continued on the road to the next city.
They knew that they might encounter many such episodes on their journey, but as long as they insisted on justice and helped others with their hearts, their path of cultivation would be brighter.
As the sun set, the figures of the two stretched out in the golden afterglow, and their hearts were full of expectations for the future and firm beliefs in cultivation.
No matter how rugged the road ahead was, they would go forward hand in hand, because they believed that as long as there was light in their hearts, nothing could not be overcome.
As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a quiet inn and prepared to rest here for a night.
The inn was very lively, and people of all kinds exchanged their stories here.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a corner to sit down, ordered some simple meals, and listened quietly to the conversations around them.
"Have you heard? Recently, a ferocious monster appeared in the mountains outside the city, and it has injured several people." A traveler with a frosted face said.
"Yes, I heard about it too. The monster is said to have three heads and six arms and is extremely cruel." Another businessman-like person echoed.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were moved when they heard this.
They knew that as practitioners, it was also one of their responsibilities to protect the people from the harm of monsters.
They decided to go to the forest early tomorrow morning to see if they could get rid of the harm for the people.
It was late at night, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang went back to their rooms to rest.
They knew that tomorrow would be a new beginning and they would face new challenges.
But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will go on bravely, because they believe that as long as there is love and justice in their hearts, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
The next morning, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang got up early, had a simple breakfast, and then set out on the road to the forest.
The forest was shrouded in mist and the trees were lush, but the two were full of vigilance.
They went deep into the forest and soon heard a series of strange roars.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and knew that the monster was nearby.
They approached the source of the sound carefully and finally saw the legendary monster in an open area.
The monster was indeed as rumored, with three heads and six arms and a hideous face.
It was attacking a group of hunters. Although the hunters fought hard, they were obviously no match for the monster.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang joined the battle immediately without hesitation.
Luo Chen wielded his sword, while Qing Shuang displayed his exquisite swordsmanship. The two cooperated tacitly and quickly attracted the attention of the monster.
The battle was extremely fierce. The monster was powerful, and every attack was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.
But Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually gained the upper hand with their superb martial arts and tacit cooperation.
Finally, with a fine cooperation, Luo Chen stabbed the heart of the monster with a sword, and Qing Shuang cut off its head.
The monster let out a shrill roar, fell to the ground, and turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.
Seeing the monster being eliminated, the hunters came forward to thank Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.
The two responded modestly, then said goodbye and left.
They knew that such things would happen many more times on their path of practice, but as long as they insisted on justice and helped others with their hearts, their path of practice would be brighter.
As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang found a quiet inn to rest again.
They knew that tomorrow would be another new day, and they would continue their journey, continue their practice, and continue to help those in need.
In the room of the inn, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat opposite each other, their eyes full of determination and expectation.
"Qing Shuang, we have helped many people, but the road of practice is still long. Do you regret it?" Luo Chen asked softly.
Qing Shuang smiled slightly and replied: "Luo Chen, I have never regretted it. Although we often face danger, every time I help a person and solve a problem, I can feel my growth. This kind of growth cannot be replaced by any practice."
Luo Chen nodded, he knew that Qing Shuang was speaking from the heart.
