Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Zheng's expression remained unchanged and he asked tentatively: "Lord City Lord, why don't you let me guess, is this matter related to Qicheng?"
"Oh? I didn't expect that Xiaoyou Lin actually knew about this?" The city lord said in a surprised tone, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.
"Lord City Lord, don't tell secrets in front of me. This is my fiancée, Li Ruoshui, the daughter of the Li family in Zeshui City. I must have gotten the news, right? Besides, the relationship between the Wen family and the Tie family is not bad. Through this After getting along with each other for a few days, I naturally learned some things, and Lord Kang Zhian Kang also told me some things, so it is not surprising that I can guess this matter." Lin Zheng said frankly.
"Haha, Brother Lin is quick to talk. I naturally know that you have a general understanding of this matter. When I invite you here today, I naturally want to ask you what you mean."
"Please give me the details, Lord City Lord!"
"This is a long story. The Tianxuan Empire controls one-third of the land of the Wild Continent. Countless small countries exist side by side on this continent, and these small countries often have wars. Therefore, our seven cities are Suppress the local forces of these small countries. However, our seven cities need supplies from the Tianxuan Empire every year, and some resources are divided. Each city does its best to expand its own power, so every five years There will be a competition, which is what you heard about the Seven Heroes Contest!"
"Seven cities can actually suppress these small countries? With all due respect, I have not seen the true strength of Wushuang City. Could it be that Wushuang City is just a sign on the surface, secretly..." Lin Zheng did not say the rest of the words. After that, he just looked at the city lord with his eyes.
"Haha, you are smart. It is not convenient for me to reveal the details to you, but you only need to know that the city lords of each of these seven cities have the ability to wipe out any small country affiliated with the Tianxuan Empire without any effort. !” City Lord Kou’s words were plain, but there was an unprecedented sense of pride.
"Well, maybe this is also the reason why the five major aristocratic families in Wushuang City are afraid of the City Lord's Mansion. The strength of these major aristocratic families does not seem weak, but they are very respectful in front of the City Lord. It seems that there is really hope this time. We are close to the so-called disappeared history! It seems that this bandit city lord is not as simple as it seems!" Lin Zheng thought silently in his heart, then thought for a while and raised his head and said: "Since the city lord has spoken, Lin will definitely not Refuse, please ask the Lord of the City for everything!"
"Haha, okay, very good. In this way, Wushuang City's chances of entering the top three this year have increased a lot!" The city lord's eyes flashed with joy, and then said: "Okay, let me tell you in detail about this first. The rules of the Seven Heroes Competition, so that you can prepare in advance!"
"Actually, the competition between the seven heroes is very simple. All the countries under each city will select elites to participate in this competition. These countries are actually affiliated with our seven cities. Don't be surprised. A city The strength of China is actually stronger than that of some countries. You will understand these things after a while. After this competition, it will be determined who will get the most resources in the next five years, and who will expand their territory? And who can Go straight into the upper echelons of the imperial city! Who else will win the favor of the real forces such as the Six Paths? Everything will be revealed after this competition! "
The city lord has not finished speaking, but Lin Zheng's heart has already stirred up a huge wave. He finally heard the news about the Six Paths. No matter what, he must participate in this competition, and he must perform outstandingly. Only in this way can he get in touch with this competition. The real big power in the continent, and thus get the news about Big Brother.
Lin Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and listened to the city lord's narration without revealing any trace. It was roughly some rules in the competition, but what the city lord said was also very simple. Anyway, there are still three months before the competition. We will talk about these things later. It came in a hurry too.
"I wonder why the city lord chose us people? Don't you doubt the origins of us people?" Lin Zheng waited until the city lord had finished talking before interjecting and asked.
"Haha, to be honest, I checked with someone privately. You are all from a small village at the foot of Wukong Mountain, and you are a disciple of Wukong Sect. After three years of silence, you became a blockbuster. You were killed in the sect's assessment. Get rid of Zhao Yu of the Zhao family, and force the head of the Zhao family and his party back! Later, after you stayed in the village for a year, you came to Wushuang City, and met Luo Lingling's grandfather on the way. You also killed bandits on the way, and later..." Kou The city lord told the information he had collected one by one. Lin Zheng did not interrupt, but listened quietly. It only took a few days to investigate people like him so thoroughly. He really cannot underestimate this. The means of Wushuang City.
"Your family must be a down-and-out noble, right?" the city lord suddenly asked.
"I didn't expect the Lord City Lord to guess it. Yes, we are from a poor family. We have been living at the foot of Wukong Mountain these years. This time we came to Wushuang City, just for a temporary stay. We are dissatisfied with the City Lord, but this time we came here for Create a career and revitalize the family's prestige!" Lin Zheng's words were half true and half false, but it was hard to fault him at all.
"Haha, don't worry, little friend Lin. No matter what the result of this competition is, our Wushuang City will definitely help you revive your family!" The doubts in Kou City Lord's eyes disappeared, and he left a huge temptation for Lin Zheng. Of course, the premise is that Lin Zheng Zheng can really be tempted by this benefit. To revive the family's prestige, for ordinary families, it is absolutely enough to have the support of such a huge and powerful Wushuang City. Wushuang City, one of the seven cities, With absolute power in his hands, supporting a family is a piece of cake! But how could Lord Kou have thought of how glorious and powerful Lin Zheng’s original family was! Even if you exhaust all the Heavenly Mysteries, you may not be able to regain its glory!
Lin Zheng looked at the city lord calmly and clasped his fists and said: "Thank you city lord for your kindness. I hope you can help me when the time comes. In addition, Lin will do his best in this competition!"
"Haha, good! Very good! If you need anything, little friend Lin, just send someone here. Whether it's crystal stones, elixirs, or secret techniques, all the resources of the entire Wushuang City are available for you!"
These words moved Lin Zheng and Li Ruoshui. After knowing the strength of Wushuang City, the city lord could still say these words. It was obvious that he wanted Lin Zheng and others to open their mouths. On the one hand, it was to show their strength, and on the other hand, On the one hand, there are Shi Hui, Lin Zheng and others. In terms of etiquette and virtue, this unrivaled city lord has done everything right!
Everyone chatted for a while again, this time it was really just casual chatting. Lin Zheng did not directly ask about the specific strength behind Wushuang City, and the owner of Wushuang City did not ask about Lin Zheng's strength. The three of them chatted about everyday things, while Li Ruoshui calmly stood aside. There were many things that Li Ruoshui knew better than Lin Zheng, an outsider. They chatted until noon and agreed on some things before Lin Zheng and Li Ruoshui said goodbye and left.
After returning home, Lin Zheng called Lin Wen and others together and told them everything about going to the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they still looked happy!
"Lin Wen, please check how many crystal stones we have now." Lin Zheng said.
"Well, no problem. The Tang family has also sent over the bets from that night's banquet, and added a lot to the original amount. This seems to be making good friends with us. It seems that not only the third brother was I'm afraid the city lord has also done some activities inside! As a result, the crystals are enough for us to use for a while!" Lin Wen thought for a while and analyzed.
"Well, that's good. It seems that the battle will be soon!" Lin Zheng said thoughtfully.
"By the way, let's practice in seclusion these days. Lin Wen, you should be more busy and socialize more with the City Lord's Mansion and the Wen Tie family! The rest of the people don't have anything too important to do and try their best to improve their strength. I always feel that This competition is not that simple!" Lin Zheng thought for a moment and then said: "The seven cities are far more terrifying than we seem. If the seven cities divide Tianxuan equally, each city controls one-seventh of Tianxuan. , this one-seventh is a terrifying number. The population alone is trillions. There are so many sects and warrior geniuses here that I can't even count them, and the Seven Cities can firmly control them. This world is enough to show the strength of these seven cities!"
Lin Dao, Lin Qian and Lin Wen all nodded with serious expressions. Only Lin Qin looked bitter. For her, boring training was not suitable for her at all, but she had no objection. She knew If you really encounter any danger, it's fine if you can't help others. If you hold others back, you will definitely not be able to forgive yourself.
Why! That’s all! Just practice well once! Lin Qin shook her little head and thought about it with a sigh.
Lin Zheng naturally knew what Lin Qin was thinking, but under such circumstances, Lin Qin had no choice but to do it. After all, this was a crucial step. If this step could not be taken, or it could not be done well, then subsequent actions would be difficult. It’s getting harder.
In the remaining half day, Lin Zheng met Wen Tianqing and Tie Muzhan. Unexpectedly, these two people actually took the initiative to say that they would practice some cultivation with their elders in the past few days. They might not be able to visit frequently, but if something happened to the Lin family, the two families would make arrangements. Without refusing, Lin Zheng immediately understood that the two of them must also be here for this battle of the Seven Heroes. Without hiding anything at the moment, he told the two of them about the city lord's palace. Both of them were stunned for a moment, but then they were very happy. I think that with a powerful master joining this time, Wushuang City's chances of winning are much better. point! After everyone encouraged each other, Wen Tianqing and Tie Muzhan left.
Even Kang Zhi'an rushed over after hearing the news, firstly to give instructions to Lin Zheng, and secondly to say goodbye. The root cause of Kang Zhi'an's illness has been removed, and he has stepped into a saint. Kang Zhi'an is about to return to the army. Kang Zhi'an left in a hurry, but left all the assets in Wushuang City to Lin Zheng, including fertile land, luxury houses, and shops. All the assets were handed over to Lin Zheng without leaving a penny. Lin Zheng did not refuse. Anyway, Lin Zheng was interested in these things. He looked at it very lightly, and as Kang Zhi'an was a Marquis and now a saint, he naturally looked at these things even more lightly.
So Lin Zheng made another fortune, which made Old Luo almost faint. When had he seen so much property? As for Luo Lingling, her eyes were gleaming with excitement, and she immediately started sorting out all her property. Before evening, Luo Lingling handed a detailed statistical form to Lin Zheng and others. Even Li Ruoshui, who came from an aristocratic family, was surprised when he saw the assets on the list. This time he gained such wealth without moving a single cent. In terms of assets alone, Lin Zheng's current net worth is not any worse than that of ordinary aristocratic families.
