Chapter 249 Guardian Position
But this time it wasn’t about being betrayed or cheated, it was just that I was really unlucky.
Even the merchants who cooperated with them suffered misfortune. Their business was tea, which had to be transported from south to north, and the distance was long, so they had to use waterways.
As a result, the entire boat capsized and several people died. One of the dead was his little cousin, who was only fourteen years old that year.
From then on, the Du family not only fell into sorrow, but also into poverty, and was in an embarrassing situation where they had to spend every penny carefully.
If this is all, then his Du family can still survive.
Who would have thought that just wanting to live a peaceful life farming could lead to such bad luck.
While other families had a bumper harvest, their crops were attacked by insects and they had no harvest at all.
At this point, the whole family felt as if God was against them.
For a time, the whole family lost hope in life and began to give up. If they couldn’t even harvest anything from farming, what was the point of farming?
Just as they were waiting to die, they met Lin Rufeng and others who specialized in picking up money from beggars and returning it to them.
So the family decided to sell themselves, at least there was someone to stutter.
At that time, they all thought that they were going to be slaves, but no one imagined that they were going to be residents of another place.
Although Houqian City had not been built at that time, the family still saw hope and actively joined in the construction.
Later, a little master came, a little kid who was only five years old. No one believed that such a little guy could be the master?
But as new and interesting things appeared one after another, everyone was completely convinced. So what if you are young? As long as you have the ability, it will be fine!
In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
The young master has grown up, and Houqian City has been built. It has become something that no one dared to dream of.
In Lu Yu's arrangement, the police and the army were to be the people's faith, but what she didn't know was that in the eyes of everyone in Hou Qiancheng, Lu Yu was their faith.
Dewey looked at the person in front of him, his eyes full of respect, and he was glad for his original decision.
Some time ago, the city lord sent back a letter, which revealed the reasons for the defeat of their Du family, the Xiao family and several other families.
It turned out that all the luck and fortune were taken away by that evil monk.
He hated it and had been looking forward to the opportunity to deal with that evil monk.
Now, the time has come.
He stood up suddenly and bowed to Lu Yu at a ninety degree angle, "Lord City Lord, there is a young man in my family who is good at martial arts and is willing to join the army and go to Shangjing."
Lu Yu played with the teacup lid and thought for only three seconds before nodding in agreement.
"If anyone from the Xiao family wants to join the army, they can go find Lin Rufeng."
She knew the hatred in their hearts, and she was willing to give them this chance for revenge.
Dewey's eyes turned red when he heard this. They could finally get their revenge.
"I would like to thank the city lord on behalf of everyone."
Lu Yu nodded slightly and didn't say much. Xie Huanzhu and Lu Rong were confused because the atmosphere was so weird.
After a period of silence, the person in charge of household registration came. She was a lovely girl with a very sweet name, Sun Tiantian.
Xie Huanzhu actively reported her name and some other information.
She was quite happy to join her sister's territory.
Lu Rong was even happier than Xie Huanzhu. As a snake, he finally got an identity certificate from a human. It really gave the snake a sense of accomplishment.
Soon Sun Tiantian registered Xie Huanzhu's information and directly registered it in Lu Yu's household registration.
When it was Lu Rong's turn, Lu Yu raised her hand to stop. Lu Rong suddenly became nervous. Could it be that Miss Lu Yu didn't want him to be in the same household registration book with her?
"Don't be nervous. It's not that we don't want you to register, but some things are better explained."
Lu Yu spoke to Lu Rong in a gentle voice, waved his hand, and the entire office was surrounded invisibly.
Dewey and the household registration office staff only had some idea of this situation, but Xie Huanzhu and Lu Rong saw it clearly and didn't understand what she was trying to do.
Lu Yu looked at Du Wei and the household registration office staff and said, "His identity is very special and should have been kept secret, but I think since I brought him here, I have recognized him.
If you hide his true identity from him, it will be unfair to him, and it will also be unfair to you."
After she said this, Xie Huanzhu and Lu Rong understood what she meant. Xie Huanzhu had no objection, but was happy to see it happen.
Lu Rong was stunned. Revealing his true identity? This, this would probably scare everyone to death.
"Ms. Lu, Ms. Lu Yu, I, I, I'm fine, you don't have to announce it."
"Don't refuse yet, just listen to me." Lu Yu raised his hand, signaling him not to panic.
"The purpose of publishing your true identity is actually to appoint you to a position."
"What position?" Lu Rong was a little confused. Could he still be an official?
"My position is Guardian." Lu Yu pointed out the window, "Do you like this city?"
When Lu Rong heard the word "guardian", his head felt warm, his chest swelled, and a surge of emotion spread.
"I like it, I like it very much!"
Lu Yu smiled, "I'm glad you like it. Are you willing to protect this city?"
"Yes, yes." Lu Rong blurted out without any thought, and he seemed extremely excited.
Xie Huanzhu covered her mouth and laughed. This was truly a win-win situation. It not only helped Lu Rong blend into the crowd, but also found the strongest guards for Hou Qiancheng.
Dewey and the household registration office staff looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the identity of this child who had such high expectations from the city lord.
Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Du Wei and Sun Tiantian seriously.
"What do you think of me? Since the construction of Houqian City, I have taken out many things that do not exist in this world."
"Although no one of you has ever asked, you must have thought in your heart that I might be a monster or a god, right?"
"It's a god, not a monster." Dewey and Sun Tiantian spoke anxiously in unison. They didn't want the city lord to misunderstand what they were thinking at all.
Lu Yu naturally knew that they did not think of her as a monster. She asked this question just to pave the way for Lu Rong's identity so that they could accept it better.
"I'm glad you didn't mistake me for a monster, but I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not a deity. I'm just an ordinary person with some abilities."
Lu Yuyi glanced at Lu Rong and said meaningfully, "However, there are indeed gods and demons in this world, but mortals rarely come into contact with them."
Dewey and Sun Tiantian widened their eyes when they heard this. The city lord said it was true, so did that mean she had seen it?
"Lord City Lord, have you ever seen gods and monsters?"
"Yeah!" Lu Yu nodded, "I've seen monsters, but I haven't seen..."
She wanted to say that she had never seen a god, but suddenly Zhang Beike's image appeared in her mind. She remembered that the old abbot called him "Saint".
This saint must be a god!
Dewey and Sun Tiantian didn't notice what she hadn't finished saying at all. They only remembered that she had said she had seen a monster.
They were shocked. Their city lord was indeed extraordinary. He had even seen the monsters in the mythological stories.
"Lord City Lord, where did you see the monster?" Dewey asked nervously. He also wanted to see it.
