In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
During these three days, Zhou Hong moved out of Black Orchid Manor and into the City Lord's Mansion.
Hei Xiaolu also moved into the City Lord's Mansion with him.
Zhou Hong dismissed the original servants of the City Lord's Mansion and recruited several hundred new ones.
Then, Zhou Hong officially began working in the City Lord's Mansion.
All the officials of Wumeng City, from high to low, came to pay their respects.
Of course, Zhou Hong removed some of Luobo Gan's relatives and the like from their positions. For example, the former captain of the Wumeng City Guard and the Chief of Wumeng City Guards were all relatives of Luobo Gan. Zhou Hong naturally could not let them hold such important positions.
Therefore, Zhou Hong's first task upon taking office was to summon Hei Xiaolu's nine elder sisters, their husbands, and others. He appointed them to important positions, and they were naturally very willing.
"Report!" On the fifth day, a soldier rushed in from outside the door. This soldier was formerly one of Luobo Gan's subordinates and was named A Jia. Zhou Hong saw that he was reliable and not a relative of Luobo Gan, having climbed up step by step through his own abilities. Therefore, he kept him to assist Zhou Hong in managing Wumeng City.
"What is it?"
"Lord City Lord, we have received a letter from Ali Tuo Tuo," A Jia said quickly.
Zhou Hong's brow furrowed slightly. He was just thinking about when he should go and find the demon king forces under Wumeng City's jurisdiction, when he unexpectedly received a letter from Ali Tuo Tuo.
"Bring the letter here."
A Jia quickly delivered the letter. Zhou Hong opened it, and a voice immediately came from inside: "I don't care who the new City Lord is now. As long as you obediently follow orders, anyone can be City Lord. New City Lord of Wumeng City, listen to me. Within three days, you will send 15 beautiful women to my mountain. Additionally, raise the cultivation quota for all the names on the list I sent to the maximum. Ali Tuo Tuo."
Zhou Hong let out a cold snort. Before Zhou Hong could even go to find him, he directly sent a letter in a commanding tone. Did he really think he was still the same as the old Luobo Gan?
"Lord City Lord, please comply quickly. This Ali Tuo Tuo is not to be trifled with. When Luobo Gan was the City Lord, he also used to send a letter whenever he wanted something. Luobo Gan dared not delay and would immediately comply, and even send a reply with gifts," A Jia urged.
"Hmph, do you think I'm the same as the old Luobo Gan?" Zhou Hong snorted coldly.
"Lord City Lord, then how do you think we should handle this?"
"Help me write him a reply."
"Alright!" A Jia immediately fetched paper and pen, seemingly preparing to write for Zhou Hong.
However, Zhou Hong did not say anything.
"Lord City Lord, what should the letter say?" A Jia asked, holding the pen.
"There's no need to say anything. Go and get me a bucket of, no, ten buckets of shit."
"Ah?" A Jia doubted if he had heard correctly. Wasn't he supposed to write a reply to Ali Tuo Tuo? What was he going to do with ten buckets of shit?
"Don't ask so many questions, just do as you're told."
"Yes." A Jia immediately took the order and left.
Hei Lan walked out from the side. Since Zhou Hong moved into the City Lord's Mansion, Hei Lan had also visited frequently. Zhou Hong was naturally not stingy with his father-in-law, and directly appointed him as the Deputy City Lord of Wumeng City.
"Zhou Hong, what are you doing?" Hei Lan asked curiously.
"What do you think? This Ali Tuo Tuo is truly arrogant. It's one thing that he didn't come to pay his respects when I became City Lord, but he actually sent a letter ordering me to do things. Fine, I'll send him a reply too. My reply will have no words, only ten buckets of shit."
"Ugh!" Hei Lan was speechless for a moment. He felt that Zhou Hong was quite playful. However, when Ali Tuo Tuo received the letter and opened the envelope, ten buckets of shit would spray out, which was indeed quite satisfying.
Soon, A Jia arrived with his subordinates, carrying ten buckets of shit. On the way, the soldiers carried the buckets in one hand and covered their noses with the other. They couldn't help but discuss among themselves that when Luobo Gan was the City Lord before, he also seemed to have received such a gift from Zhou Hong. They didn't expect this new City Lord to be quite fond of playing with shit.
"Lord City Lord, the ten buckets of shit you wanted have arrived." A Jia placed the ten buckets in the main hall.
Zhou Hong immediately folded the letter, then refined a storage space inside the letter, and loaded all ten buckets of shit into it. As soon as the envelope was opened, it would gush out.
With their current strength as Magicians, they could easily refine a storage bag. Zhou Hong simply placed the storage bag inside the letter, which was not a difficult skill; most demonic cultivators could do it.
"Send someone to deliver this letter to Ali Tuo Tuo. It's best not to hand it to him directly, but to his subordinates, and then run away quickly. I'm afraid Ali Tuo Tuo will kill someone after opening the envelope."
"Yes, Lord City Lord." A Jia immediately went personally.
About half an hour later, in Ali Tuo Tuo's base camp, within a mountain range where thousands of large and small caves had been dug, a fierce man with a full beard sat at the highest point of the largest cave.
"Report." A subordinate hurried in from outside the cave.
"What is it?"
"Great Boss, the new City Lord of Wumeng City sent someone with a reply."
"Just a reply, nothing else?"
"Yes."
The bearded great boss was indeed Ali Tuo Tuo, a Rank Four Demon King.
"What does that new City Lord mean? I asked him to send me 15 beautiful women, but he didn't send the women and instead sent me a letter. Does he not take my words seriously at all?" Ali Tuo Tuo's face immediately became furious.
"Bring the letter here."
"Yes!" The subordinate personally delivered Zhou Hong's letter.
Ali Tuo Tuo opened Zhou Hong's letter in front of his subordinates, wanting to see what was inside.
However, the moment he opened the envelope, with a bang, a foul odor exploded from within. At such close range and caught completely off guard, Ali Tuo Tuo had not expected it at all. In an instant, he was completely drenched in shit.
Not only that, but the four stone walls of the entire cave were also splattered with excrement. Instantly, the entire cave reeked.
"Damn it!" Hundreds of subordinates in the cave couldn't help but curse, covering their noses and running out of the cave.
Ali Tuo Tuo, at the center of the shit bomb, was even worse off, completely transformed into a shit-covered person.
"Ahhhh!" Ali Tuo Tuo roared in anger. His roar, through the earth, traveled for hundreds of kilometers, causing several mountains to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.
"Zhou Hong, I will kill you!" Ali Tuo Tuo had no time to clean the shit off himself. He immediately shot into the sky and flew towards Wumeng City.
