Zhang Xinyi was very happy to hear that Zhang Shunxiao had added another city, but she was not as excited as before. Instead, she asked: "What about the city lord? Have the pirates been eliminated?"
"Of course." Tuoba Xiangchang said, "The city lord is on his way back to the army."
When Prime Minister Tuoba spoke, he stared at Zhang Xinyi, noticed Zhang Xinyi's reaction, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's right."
Zhang Xinyi didn't know why and asked: "Why is this right?"
Prime Minister Tuoba raised his steps and laughed: "The secret cannot be revealed, and it is most unintentional to talk too much."
Seeing Mr. Tuoba leaving, Zhang Xinyi pouted and said softly: "What and what, really, just say some strange things."
In Baker City, Hong Fengliu finished sorting out political affairs and went to Zhang Shunxiao's office.
"Lord, these are the books on Baker City's resources, residents, and military strength. Take a look."
If you want to read some secret books on cultivation, Zhang Shunxiao won't say anything, just take it and read it. As for these political matters, Zhang Shunxiao gets dizzy when he hears it, and directly shakes his hands: "If you don't want to read it, just do it yourself."
Hong Fengliu had long been accustomed to Zhang Shunxiao's style of doing things and knew that he would not read it, so he said: "Lord, I have sorted it all out. When I return to Red Maple City, I will compile it with the original ones to form all kinds of information about our territory."
Zhang Shunxiao knew the importance of this information. With it, he could grasp the status of all cities, towns and other resources in the territory.
"Thankfully I have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do with these things."
"Thank you Lord for your trust." Hong Fengliu said.
"Lord." A soldier stood outside the door and shouted: "I received a letter from Tianyuan City."
Tianyuan City is located in the southwest of Baker City. Zhang Shunxiao usually has no contact with Xue Qian, the lord of Tianyuan City. This time there is a letter, which feels very strange.
"Bring it here." Zhang Shunxiao took the letter and read it.
"Lord, what's in the letter?" Hong Fengliu asked after seeing Zhang Shunxiao read the letter.
Zhang Shunxiao threw the letter on the table and said casually: "It's nothing more than saying that I am the lord and he is the city lord. He is sincerely convinced and willing to join us. In a few days, he will send someone to send resources to show his sincerity."
Hearing this, Hong Fengliu smiled coldly and said, "I guess he got scared when we hit him and wanted to be stable for the time being."
"It doesn't matter if he is sincere or not, it's okay to get some resources for free, hahaha." Zhang Shunxiao laughed after saying this.
After Hong Fengliu thought about it carefully, he withdrew his smile and said with a sad face: "Lord, I think it's better for us not to use these resources. Once we accept them, it will be an agreement for him to join us. When he encounters difficulties, I'm afraid he will need our help." .”
"Just don't help." Zhang Shunxiao said.
"There must be a reason, otherwise how will other cities view us and how will we get other cities to join us in the future?"
Zhang Shunxiao looked at Hong Fengliu and said, "If you think too much, if you are unhappy, just hit him."
"Lord, we don't lack those resources." Hong Fengliu said still firmly.
"Whether you are short of it or not, take it first and then talk about it."
Seeing that Zhang Shunxiao had made up his mind, Hong Fengliu said no more and had no choice but to leave Zhang Shunxiao's office.
In Wenda City, northwest of Tianyuan City, Xue Qian took Zhang Shunxiao's letter sent from Baker City and laughed happily: "This year is really good. After taking Wenda City, we are now on good terms with Hongmaple City. Waiting for us to get it If you go to Xiaquan Tacheng, you no longer need to be afraid of Red Maple City."
Zeng Chengfei, who was standing next to Xue Qian, heard about it and immediately said: "Congratulations to the city lord, the city lord can also be promoted to lord by then."
"Okay, go to the military camp immediately and prepare to attack Circle Tower City."
"Yes." Zeng Chengfei said in response.
Outside the west gate of Circle Tower City, dozens of people stood in two rows and walked out along the gate.
The person on the outside is wearing a white gown and a purple-gold hair crown on his head. He has deep eyes and is about fifty or sixty years old. He is looking at the end of the road.
"Yuan Shangguan, the city lord is coming soon." an official next to him asked.
"Soon." Yuan Shangguan's voice was old and powerful, but also slightly anxious.
Not long after, figures appeared one after another in the distance. As the distance got closer, the figures became clearer and clearer, and the number became larger and larger. Gradually, an army of tens of thousands of people slowly came along the road.
When the army arrived, Yuan Shangguan stepped forward and shouted: "Welcome the city lord back to the city."
A burly, middle-aged man with a beard walked out from the middle of the army. It was Qiu Jin, the lord of Circle Tower City.
"Yuan Zhida, your strategy was very successful in capturing Lingding City this time. I have written it down."
"Thank you City Lord." Yuan Zhida glanced at a young man next to Qiu Jin.
Looking at the young man, he has thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, is very handsome, holds a steel gun in his hand, and looks cold and handsome, I can't help but ask: "City Lord, what is this?"
Qiu Jin followed Yuan Zhida's gaze and said, "Oh, this is Leng Yue, who took refuge with me when I captured Lingding City."
Seeing that she was talking about herself, Leng Yue stepped forward to say hello to Yuan Zhida and retreated to where she was.
Yuan Zhida knew that Qiu Jin had an extra combat hero, and said repeatedly: "Congratulations to the city lord, this will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness."
"Hahaha." Qiu Jin laughed heartily: "We are located in the northwest of the Central Continent. The northwestmost Lingding City has been captured by me. Now I only need to consider going south to capture more cities."
Speaking of this, Yuan Zhida quickly said: "By the way, City Lord, Xue Qian, the Lord of Tianyuan City, has captured Wenda City to the south of us. If we go north, it will be a great threat to us, so we must guard against it."
Qiu Jing had just captured Lingding City, and he was full of fighting spirit. He said: "If there is any threat, I will fight him back if he dares to come."
Yuan Zhida said: "Having said that, we have just finished the battle and need to rest. I will repair the book for them and make friends with them. What do you think, City Lord?"
After many days of fighting abroad, Qiu Jin was very tired and said: "You can decide this matter, go to the city first."
Qiu Jin passed through the crowd and headed into the city. Yuan Zhida and the people who greeted him outside the city followed Qiu Jin into the city.
As soon as they entered the city lord's palace, a soldier rushed over and shouted: "City lord, an army was found in the south. It has entered our territory and is heading towards the city."
When he encountered this incident as soon as he came back, Qiu Jin stopped and said angrily: "Where did it come from? Go and find out."
"Yes." The soldier immediately turned around and left.
Yuan Zhida said: "City Lord, quickly deploy your troops to the south of the city. I guess Xue Qian went directly north to attack us after taking Wenda City."
"Then you still want to write a letter to him, why don't you give me a hand and beat him." Qiu Jin said angrily and led the army south.
To the south of the city, Xue Qian was walking with his army. Zeng Chengfei was following Xue Qian, and there were 20,000 people behind him.
"Qiu Jin has just captured Lingding City, and his combat power has not recovered. We just caught him off guard now."
