Where's My City Lord's Mansion?

Zhou Wanwan walked around the city wall and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "What's wrong with that? This city is truly prosperous!"

Zhou Wanwan closed her eyes and slowly channeled spiritual energy into the trees.

The more spiritual energy is transferred, the faster these tree trunks will regenerate.

The old trees have already started working, first dismantling these city walls, which were all made of blue bricks and were of very high quality.

These trees were all planted by construction teams; they have extensive experience.

The city walls were quickly dismantled, and the Old Scholar Tree seemed to greet the other trees in Suiyuan City, saying, "Hey! You've worked hard, brothers!"

The trees nearby were completely dumbfounded. "Good heavens, Old Scholar Tree! How old must such a thick Old Scholar Tree be?"

The Old Scholar Tree looked at them and asked, "How many years have you been here?"

The trees in the forest said, "I've been here for over 100 years."

"I've been here for over 200 years!"

"Tch... What's so great about that? I've been here for over 500 years!"

The tree next to him laughed loudly, "Are you over 500 years old? You look at most 200 years old."

One tree looked at the Old Scholar Tree and exclaimed, "Wow! It can actually walk!"

Everyone then discovered that the Old Scholar Tree could not only talk, but it could actually walk.

The Old Scholar Tree boasted to them:

"Walking isn't that difficult. As long as Wanwan is there, we can walk."

We ran from Dongshan Prefecture to the capital, and then from the capital to here. I could have run from the capital to here in just one day.

The trees all shook their heads and said, "Oh dear! How can you boast so much? No tree is that powerful!"

"Yeah, yeah, I don't believe it."

Then they saw thousands of trees starting to dismantle the city wall. The trees panicked. "Hey! What are you trees doing? Why are you tearing down the city wall for no reason?"

"These blue bricks were hard to transport; they cost a very high price."

The Old Scholar Tree said calmly, "If these bricks weren't worth anything, we wouldn't want them! I'm just asking if you'd be willing to work with us."

The trees fell silent as Zhou Wanwan directly replenished their spiritual energy.

The trees pulled themselves out of their roots and began to slowly walk.

"Hahaha... Who would have thought that I, a tree, could walk?"

"No, I need to go for a run around the city."

"Me too! Me too! Me too!"

The dozens of trees were overjoyed.

Before the Old Scholar Tree could finish speaking, the trees shot out.

The Old Scholar Tree roared, "You unlucky kids, what are you trying to do? If you go out like this and humans find you, what will happen?"

But these trees weren't about to listen to him.

A group of trees took a stroll around the city, and they were so happy that they jumped and danced.

Thankfully it's nighttime, otherwise it would have scared someone to death.

In the middle of the night, most of the people there are drunkards, staggering and swaying as they look at the tree-lined path.

"Ouch! What just ran past?"

Why are people so tall these days? I bet they're several meters tall!

A man nearby said, "Brother, you're really drunk. How much fake alcohol did you drink? How could someone several meters tall be like that?"

"I feel like those are trees. Can trees walk?"

Everyone around them laughed, and soon they went back to sleep.

Those trees ran a long way and finally came back.

They asked breathlessly, "Boss, what do you want us to do?"

The Old Scholar Tree said, "Just tear down all these city walls, quickly."

Many hands make light work, and many trees provide even greater strength.

Dismantling a city wall is extremely tiring, but fortunately, these trees are very fast, and the wall was quickly dismantled.

Having city walls alone isn't enough!

The Yanmen Pass is in a terrible state now.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "I think their houses here are really beautiful. Why don't we move back to our house too?"

Before she could finish speaking, the trees had already started to be moved.

The entire city was stunned, and even more trees joined in.

Overnight, the trees were exhausted, and with great difficulty, they finished moving all the houses and city walls of Suiyuan City.

When they got home, they still had to demolish all the houses in Yanmen Pass.

What's the point of having those dilapidated houses?

Not only did they have to demolish the houses, they also had to start building city walls.

The trees sighed and said, "This project is just too massive! It's exhausting! Waaah!"

"I'm so tired! Why did we have to move things from that city to this one?"

The old trees scoffed:

"You're obviously a newbie, you don't know anything. This is our Wanwan's territory."

"Of course we're moving it to our own territory. Let's get to work, it'll be dawn soon."

Those trees were incredibly tired that night.

Not only were they tired, Wanwan was also quite tired, as she spent the night replenishing their spiritual energy.

Lingbao had a lot of ginseng roots harvested and a lot of ginseng soup made. Zhou Wanwan drank three bowls of ginseng soup in one night.

She stretched and said, "No, I have to go to sleep now. Let's stop here for today! I think that's enough."

All the houses at Yanmen Pass have been demolished and replaced with new ones. The city walls have also been completely renovated and are now incredibly sturdy.

Moreover, all these city walls were made of cement, and not only that, she expanded Yanmen Pass several times over.

Originally, Yanmen Pass was just a small border town, but now it has expanded several times over.

Zhou Wanwan couldn't bear it any longer, so she found a large inn and checked in.

The inn had long been emptied of people, and Zhou Wanwan was staying in the most luxurious private room.

It was incredibly comfortable. Of course, Zhou Wanwan felt there was still room for improvement in the inn.

Now, Black Wind Stronghold has designed flush toilets, so all the inns under Zhou Wanwan's name use these high-end flush toilets.

Zhou Wanwan fell asleep as soon as she lay down; she slept soundly.

The entire border region was in an uproar.

When the city lord of Suiyuan City woke up, there was already a great commotion outside.

He rubbed his eyes and said, "What's going on today? Why is it so noisy at this hour?"

He opened his eyes and found himself lying in a pile of mud. He sat up with a "whoop".

The concubine beside him whimpered, "Master, what's wrong? So early in the morning... Ah! What's going on?"

The steward rushed over and said, "Lord, something terrible has happened! You must go out and see! Something terrible has occurred in our city!"

The city lord hurriedly said:

"A major event? What could be more important than the loss of my City Lord's Mansion? Where is my City Lord's Mansion? Where is my City Lord's Mansion?"

This city lord's mansion cost me tens of thousands of taels of gold.
