After Yun Zhiqian heard this, her face was filled with shock. She immediately stood up and looked at the wooden ring in front of her in a daze. She said, "You mean, Lee Shiyuan is a spy?"

When Shi Ling saw her shocked expression, he revealed a puzzled expression and said: "It's just a guess, but I'm not sure yet."

Yun Zhiqian sat back down. Her expression was a bit ugly. She seemed to be unwilling to believe that Lee Shiyuan was a spy. Shi Ling, however, was puzzled and asked: "Who is that Lee Shiyuan to you?"

Yun Zhiqian was stunned. "Why do you ask?"

Shi Ling turned his head to look at the sky outside of the window and said: "You seem to care about him. Even if last time you clearly knew that he drugged you, you did not punish him too much and only hit him with your palm. Right now, you are unwilling to believe that he might even be a Yi Xiao City spy, so I am very curious, what kind of person is he to be able to have such charm that you are not willing to give up on him?"

Yun Zhiqian looked at the side of Shi Ling's face and pursed her lips, as if unwilling to say it. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "When I came to Yi Xiao City, he was the first friend I made."

Shi Ling had a strange expression when he heard that. He said, "Friend?"

Yun Zhiqian shook her head again and said: "He can't be considered a friend. I remember when I first came to Yi Xiao City, I was unfamiliar with the people here. He took care of me for a long time and helped me a lot, so I am very grateful to him."

Shi Ling finally understood when he heard this and said: "That's why you don't want to believe that he's a spy?"

The woman in front of him was still emotional, but it couldn't be blamed on her. After all, she was a girl, and had just entered a strange environment, so it was easy for her to feel grateful that someone would take the initiative to help her.

Shi Ling thought for a while, then said: "How about this, let's do a test and see if he's a spy. If he isn't, then we won't touch him. If he's a spy, then what should we do, I don't need to teach you, right?"

Upon hearing these words, Yun Zhiqian abruptly nodded her head and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

At this moment, Shi Ling smiled and immediately went up to Yun Zhiqian's side and whispered into her ear.

Two hours later …

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion Conference, Yun Zhiqian had changed into a formal attire and was seated at the head of the group. Looking at the many higher ups of the Yi Xiao City below, they included Shi Ling, Lee Shiyuan, as well as the four generals of the Yi Xiao City who had just taken up their posts.

Yun Zhiqian suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Zhao Yuan, is your East District still being attacked frequently by Wolf Bandit recently?"

Behind Shi Ling, a man around 30 years old walked out. He immediately bowed towards Yun Zhiqian and cupped his fist as he said, "Reporting to Lord Mayor, I have investigated the frequency of Wolf Bandit's assault in the past few days. They come to attack almost every day."

After hearing this, Yun Zhiqian revealed a pensive expression. She looked around and asked, "Are Wolf Bandit from the other districts active?"

The other three city leaders also immediately expressed that they were attacked by Wolf Bandit at different times and that at least one to three children would be stolen each time. Shi Ling's face slightly darkened when he heard this, while Lee Shiyuan, who was on the other side, was expressionless.

Yun Zhiqian continued, "I wonder if you have a good plan to resolve this matter?"

The group of people looked at each other without saying anything. It was obvious that they had a headache over this matter and did not know what to do. When Yun Zhiqian saw their expressions, she let out a soft sigh and heard Shi Ling suddenly say, "Lord Mayor, I have an idea!"

Everyone present, including Lee Shiyuan, looked at Shi Ling when Yun Zhiqian said, "I wonder what the First Commander's plan is?"

At this time, Shi Ling revealed a pondering expression, and said: "The main reason why Wolf Bandit dared to be so rampant in our Yi Xiao City is because there are no walls surrounding the mountains, so they can attack us at any time. Also, their understanding of the terrain outside the Yi Xiao City is much higher than ours, so, with the help of their understanding of the terrain, after they have obtained the advantage in our Yi Xiao City, they can quickly escape."

"As for our Yi Xiao City, according to our current strength, it is basically impossible for us to defend against the entire Yi Xiao City, but in order to better protect the citizens of the city, it is actually possible for us to spread our power out, but the result of this is, even if there are officers or soldiers who encounter Wolf Bandit's attack, they will not be able to stop it in time."

"Because of the above reasons, our Yi Xiao City suffered many times at the hands of Wolf Bandit."

Shi Ling analysed the matter of Wolf Bandit's attack, and after Yun Zhiqian finished listening, she nodded her head, indicating that Shi Ling was right, while Lee Shiyuan revealed a disdainful smile, but at this time, Shi Ling continued, "So, I think, rather than spreading out our forces to search for Wolf Bandit around the Yi Xiao City, it's better to gather them together, and combine them into a stronger force to fight them."

Yun Zhiqian frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't I understand what the Commander means?"

It was not only Yun Zhiqian, but the other elders as well. Shi Ling smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, as long as all the children in the city are gathered together and protected by heavy soldiers, won't we be able to guarantee that Wolf Bandit won't be able to steal the children?"

The moment he said that, Lee Shiyuan's pupils slightly constricted. The commanders of the four districts all revealed an excited expression as they thought to themselves, "That's right, why didn't I think of such an idea before? As long as the children are gathered together, then the soldiers and soldiers will no longer have to split up to protect the children, but can all gather together. At that time, it will no longer be possible for Wolf Bandit to have any ideas about the children! "

Yun Zhiqian smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

At this moment, Lee Shiyuan suddenly said, "The idea of a commander seems a bit whimsical."

Shi Ling turned to Lee Shiyuan and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lee Shiyuan put his hands behind his back and said, "Commander, this plan is indeed very good, but have you considered whether the parents of those children would leave their children to us to protect? Even if they were willing, then I would like to ask, in the entire Yi Xiao City, where do you want to place them? It has to be said that the current size of the Yi Xiao City has basically been completely occupied. For the nearly ten thousand children that have been gathered, no matter where you place them, they won't matter. "

The four city leaders also nodded, and felt that Lee Shiyuan was right. Not to mention whether the parents of these children would agree, even if they did, if nearly ten thousand of these children gathered together, there was no place within the Yi Xiao City to place them.

Even if they were to arrange things in batches, it would be unrealistic because even if they were to divide into groups of a thousand people, there was still no place within the Yi Xiao City that could accommodate a thousand people at the same time. If they were to disperse, then the soldiers would also have to disperse along with them.

At this time, Shi Ling smiled and said to Lee Shiyuan: "Since the Yi Xiao City Realm cannot be settled, then why don't we choose to settle outside the city?"
