The envoy of the Western Factory, "Yang Lin", was so scared that his face turned green when he saw this scene.

The legs were trembling like sieve crumbs.

Behind the audience, the people of Echeng shouted excitedly, "Light the sky lantern! Light the sky lantern!"

The two guards directly pushed Yang Lin into the sacrificial pit.

I heard Yang Lin’s scream “Ah!…” and the sound soon disappeared in the blazing fire.

Professor Liu was stunned by this scene.

But he knew that this was the culture of the "Ghost Square Barbarians".

Neither Su Rou nor Hongshang came, they just stood on the platform and watched from a distance.

The reason why Zhao Xu pushed Yang Lin, the envoy of the West Factory, up was mainly to make the people of Echeng relieve their doubts.

In the morning, he personally interrogated Yang Lin and asked him about the "Mingtang" in the West Factory.

After asking, I realized that the so-called "Military Hall" of the West Factory is a place that specializes in creating various weapons for the West Factory.

The "Mingtang" in Xichang is located in a mysterious place. Yang Lin did not reveal to Zhao Xu the specific location of the "Mingtang".

Zhao Xu was indifferent to this, he only needed to know what the "Bingtang" of the West Factory is. As for where the "Bingtang" of the West Factory is, he naturally had a way to find out.

Everything is natural. Even if someone is suspicious, he will not dare to reveal Zhao Xu's true identity!

After the ceremony of lighting the sky lanterns, Zhao Xu announced that he had reduced taxes to the people in the city for three years.

This decision was supported by the people of Echeng.

People cheered and kept shouting: "City Lord! Leader!"

Even a small city like "Echeng" will collect some taxes.

Zhao Xu suddenly reduced the taxes for the people of "Echeng" for three years, and the people of "Echeng" naturally supported him.

After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Zhao Xu returned to the hall surrounded by everyone.

Hongshang brought Su Rou to welcome him, smiled at Zhao Xuyan, and said, "Chief, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and said to Hongshang: "Ashang, tell the chef to prepare a sumptuous banquet. I want to invite friends who have come from afar."

"Yes, leader!"

A Shang moved his lotus step lightly and turned around and left.

Zhao Xu then called Zheng Mingcheng and ordered him: "General Zheng, Professor Liu has a team member named Lu Qing, who is still on the mountain at the end of Baizi Valley. Send someone to bring this person here!"

"Yes, leader!" Zheng Mingcheng responded and sent two subordinates to carry out this mission.

After Zheng Mingcheng left, Su Rou whispered to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, please let Linlin out too! She, a girl, was placed under house arrest in the room, and she was probably about to die of anxiety."

Zhao Xu forgot about this, nodded and said to Su Rou, "Come with me!"

He took Su Rou to Zhu Linlin's room.

When Zhu Linlin heard a sudden sound from the door, she saw a tall man wearing a bronze mask walking in and retreating in frightened.

Until he saw Su Rou behind the man, he shouted in surprise: "Officer Su!"

"Linlin!"

Su Rou walked over and hugged Zhu Linlin.

Zhu Linlin cried sadly and said, "I thought I would never see you again."

"How could it be, Professor Liu and the others are all very good."

Zhu Linlin looked at Zhao Xu, wanted to speak but stopped, and said, "He..."

Su Rou lay in Zhu Linlin's ear and whispered: "He is Zhao Xu!"

"ah?"

Zhu Linlin's eyes were filled with a look of incredible expression.

Because, the man in front of him was half a head taller than Zhao Xu. Even his figure was different from Zhao Xu, so how could it be Zhao Xu?

"Officer Su, you didn't lie to me, are you?" Zhu Linlin asked in a questioning letter.

Su Rou smiled and said, "What am I lying to you? If he weren't Zhao Xu, how could we survive until now?"

At this time, Zhao Xu spoke to Zhu Linlin and said, "Linlin, are you with Officer Su? Remember, don't run around here."

When Zhu Linlin heard this, the sound of the tall man making a sound was Zhao Xu's voice.

He asked in surprise: "Are you really Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Xu said "Yeah!", nodded, and said, "I still have another identity now, that is, the lord of Echeng!"

Zhu Linlin really couldn't believe how Zhao Xu did all this.

Zhao Xu said to Su Rou: "Officer Su, please take Linlin back to the bedroom first! I'll ask someone to call you and have a meal together!"

"Okay!" Su Rou nodded.

Holding Zhu Linlin's hand, he said, "Linlin, come with me!"

She took Zhu Linlin back to the bedroom where Zhao Xu lived.

As soon as the two of them came in, Zhang Chuyi's eyes locked on Zhu Linlin.

Seeing Su Rou bringing back a beautiful woman, her eyes were full of doubts and confusion.

Zhu Linlin didn't expect that there were other women in the room.

"you......"

"she......"

Zhang Chuyi and Zhu Linlin said in unison.

Su Rou took Zhu Linlin's hand, walked to Zhang Chuyi's approach, and introduced to the two, "I'll introduce it to you."

"This person is Zhang Chuyi, she is a reporter from Huadu Daily."

"This person is named Zhu Linlin, and she is one of the members of the scientific expedition team!"

Zhang Chuyi pulled Su Rou over and said, "Officer Su, won't she have anything to do with the uncle, right?"

"What kind of connection? Linlin is Zhao Xu's good friend!"

Zhu Linlin was generous and took the initiative to reach out to Zhang Chuyi, and said with a smile: "Hello! Mr. Zhao saved his life, his life is my savior."

"He saved you?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Linlin nodded.

Zhang Chuyi told Zhu Linlin: "Miss Zhu, I will tell you. The uncle has become bad now. He is now the largest leader in Echeng. Everyone here listens to him, and it is very likely that you will be included in his concubines in his harem."

puff!

Su Rou couldn't help but laughed and said to Zhang Chuyi: "Chuyi, what are you talking about? How could Zhao Xu be a concubine in the harem?"

Zhang Chuyi explained clearly: "In ancient times, which emperor was not three palaces and six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. He is now the largest leader of Echeng, so he naturally likes whoever woman is his concubine."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, you will scare Linlin! Zhao Xu is not such a person at all, okay?"

"Officer Su, I feel that the uncle has become bad!"

“Where has it gone bad?”

Zhang Chuyi thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out where Zhao Xu had turned bad. She stomped her mouth and said, "Anyway, I think he turned bad."

"Okay, don't be stubborn, girl! Zhao Xu, I'll treat us to a big meal later. You'd better adjust your mood! Otherwise, your uncle will punish you for a few days not to eat."

"Hmph! I don't want to do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started to rumble.

Zhang Chuyi looked embarrassed and said, "I seem to be really hungry!"
