Douluo: Wuhun Dragon Roar Spear, I, the Lord of the North

Chapter 181: Lou Gao’s joining and arrangements for the North!
Early the next morning, Shui Bing'er went to help Shui Xinrou deal with the affairs of Tianshui College, while Liu Yanyang went to the Jibei City alone.

Early morning three days later.

At the gate of the Far North City, the Soul Master Corps stood in an orderly manner. The Corps Commander, Hott, at the front, raised his head and looked into the distance from time to time.

Yesterday he received news that their city lord Liu Yanyang would arrive in the Extreme North City today, so he brought his army of soul masters to wait here early in the morning.

Soon, Liu Yanyang's figure appeared at the end of the road. Hao Te was the first to notice it. He immediately bowed, clenched his right fist and punched his chest, shouting, "Hao Te, the commander of the Extreme North City Soul Master Corps, welcomes the Lord of the City."

The soldiers behind him did the same thing and shouted in unison, "We welcome the Lord City Lord."

Seeing the unified movements and neat appearance of the Soul Master Corps, Liu Yanyang couldn't help but nod his head. This was what he wanted to see, a disciplined army.

Then he walked forward slowly, patted Hao Te on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, when you break through to Soul Saint, I will have someone find you a soul beast that best suits you."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." Hao Te immediately knelt on one knee, his eyes full of fiery color.

Liu Yanyang helped him up, then looked at the soldiers behind him and said loudly, "As long as you do your best, I will not treat any of you unfairly."

After some passionate encouragement, Liu Yanyang got on the carriage and drove towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yanyang got off the carriage and saw Yang Wudi and a short and fat old man with disheveled hair and a dirty face standing at the gate.

Liu Yanyang immediately stepped forward, greeted Yang Wudi, turned his head and looked at the old man beside him, and said solemnly, "I guess you are the president of the Blacksmith Association, Senior Lou Gao, one of the three great blacksmiths. I am Liu Yanyang, a junior, nice to meet you."

"No, no." Seeing Liu Yanyang bowing slightly to him, Lou Gao quickly stepped aside and said, "I'm just a blacksmith. The Duke of the North doesn't have to do this."

Liu Yanyang shook his head and said with a smile, "Senior's skills are truly superb. I will have to rely on your skills in the future!"

As he spoke, Liu Yanyang took out the Peacock Feather from the storage soul guide and handed it to Lou Gao.

Lou Gao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately took the Peacock Feather and began to observe it carefully.

He kept murmuring, "Good stuff, good stuff"

After a few minutes, Lou Gao reluctantly put down the Peacock Feather in his hand, then raised his head and stared at Liu Yanyang with burning eyes and said, "Duke of the Northern Territory, are you going to let me dismantle this weapon too?"

Liu Yanyang nodded and shook his head, then took out the blueprint of the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle from the storage soul guide and handed it to Lou Gao.

Taking the blueprint, Lou Gao looked down at the intricate design process and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After reading it carefully, he looked up and said in surprise, "If the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle can be manufactured, it will kill the title!"

After he finished speaking, Yang Wudi's eyelids twitched. He looked at the drawings in Lou Gao's hand in astonishment, then turned to look at Liu Yanyang, wanting to know if it was true.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyang nodded slightly and said with a smile, "So Senior, you know why I have to rely on you. You are the only one here who can make this thing."

Hearing this, Lou Gao looked at Liu Yanyang excitedly, and carefully put the manufacturing drawings of the Peacock Feather and the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle into the storage soul guide.

Then, he walked in front of Liu Yanyang, bowed slightly, and said solemnly with a serious face, "Thank you for your respect, Lord City Lord. I will never let you down."

Liu Yanyang hurriedly helped Lou Gao up, nodded with a smile, "In that case, I will leave it to you, senior. If you need anything, just go to the legion commander Hao Te. He will meet all the requirements of you and the Blacksmith Association."

After a heart-to-heart talk, Liu Yanyang and the other two entered the City Lord's Mansion and had a sumptuous lunch together.

Yang Wudi bid farewell to Liu Yanyang and went to Tiandou City alone. He still liked to stay with Dugu Bo, so that they could discuss the way of poison together.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyang did not stop him. After sending Yang Wudi away, he summoned Hao Te and said, "In the next few years, you have to do these things well." "First, open up the official roads throughout the north, so that all cities are closely connected through the official roads. As for the money, don't worry, the Tiandou royal family will send a large number of gold soul coins."

"Second, we need to establish a welfare system for the common people and reduce taxes. We must not allow people to be without clothes, food, or shelter."

"Third, establish a welfare system for soul masters, including free awakening, soul master subsidies, and a series of other policies."

"Fourth, set up an inspection team, one openly and one secretly, to monitor the entire Northland. No situation of spirit masters bullying civilians should occur."

"In these cities in the north, any princes and nobles who extort money from the people and force civilian spirit masters to become their own will be arrested and publicly executed."

"Make sure everyone knows that all these favorable changes are due to the reforms of the Duke of the North and Lady Ice and Snow."

"I understand, Lord City Lord," Hao Te said respectfully, then turned and left, passing Liu Yanyang's order to the army.

After staying in the Far North City for two days and confirming that the general direction of the future was correct, Liu Yanyang left the Far North City.

three days later.

After returning to Tianshui City again, Liu Yanyang rushed to Tianshui College without stopping. On the way, he saw the carriage of Tianshui College, and Liu Yanyang walked forward to stop it.

Watching Shui Xinrou and Shui Bing'er getting off the carriage, Liu Yanyang breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they caught up.

"Bing'er, be careful on the way." Liu Yanyang also said softly while holding Shui Bing'er's hand.

Shui Bing'er nodded and looked at Liu Yanyang with gentle eyes, "Ayang, I hope that when we meet next time, you have already broken through to Soul Saint."

"Sure." Liu Yanyang hugged Shui Bing'er in his arms and smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her.

Afterwards, Shui Bing'er boarded the carriage. Liu Yanyang stood there and watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, murmuring, "I will come to find you when I break through to Soul Saint. I hope you have a safe journey."

After saying this, Liu Yanyang set off towards Tiandou City without staying for long.

……

A month later.

Liu Yanyang returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, said something to the Blue Silver King, and began his long life of seclusion.

On the other side, Shui Bing'er and her companions headed westward, killing corrupted soul masters, evil bandits, and princes and nobles who exploited the common people along the way.

In order to express their gratitude, the people who were rescued spontaneously built sculptures for Shui Bing'er and others to commemorate their deeds and let future generations admire them.

one year later.

The Tianshui team traveled westward and arrived at the mountains less than 300 kilometers away from Hanhai City. It was night, and they planned to camp again and set off again early the next morning.

It was autumn and the weather was beginning to get a little cold. Shui Bing'er found some firewood and lit it, and the seven girls sat around it.

Just at this moment, waves of wolf howls were heard in the distance, which instantly alerted the seven people. Shui Bing'er stood up, looked at the source of the sound, and said solemnly, "It is likely that they are wolf bandits, and there are quite a lot of them."
