Cheng Yu didn't want to offend all the foreign dynasties at once, so he wanted to start with one foreign dynasty first. If he chooses another foreign city to attack, he will attack Tianhai City casually, although this will not make people suspicious of him. But it also brought trouble to his plan.
First of all, Cheng Yu had already obtained more information from Xu Quan with a map, although it was impossible for Xu Quan to know all the foreign countries. He knew the Xiaohai Dynasty relatively well.
Because Xiao Wai Chao was next to Longying Wai Chao, which they had worked for before, so Xu Quan knew these two Wai Chao relatively well.
Moreover, the two foreign countries have been in conflict for a long time and are irreconcilable. At least the reason is because of resource issues.
In addition, there is another important reason, which is that Lanxin City is located at the junction of Longying Waichao and Xiao Waichao. The cities outside the border are unstable, and it is normal to be involved in competition for resources at any time.
Furthermore, I heard from Xu Quan that Lanxin City originally belonged to Waiying Waichao, but later it was snatched away by Xiao Waichao.
Therefore, from all aspects of the situation, Lanxin City is a good place for Cheng Yu to take action.
However, Xu Quan also made one thing very clear. It is precisely because of the special location and status of Lanxin City that it is different from other cities.
Because people from the dynasty are directly stationed in Blue Heart City, it is very different from other cities. Like other cities, the city lord is the most powerful force in a city. Although there are some forces in the city that are as powerful as the city lord, the city lord always holds the dominant position.
But this Lan Xin City is different, because it is between two foreign dynasties, and Lan Xin City was originally snatched by the Long Ying Wai Dynasty, Xiaohai Dynasty will naturally be wary of Long Ying Wai Dynasty at any time. snatch.
Therefore, it is understandable that there are many people from Xiaowai Dynasty stationed in Lanxin City. Although this Blue Heart City is a first-level city like Tianhai City, their city lord is also a monk in the late stage of integration.
However, compared with those who were at court outside Xiao, the strength of this city lord's mansion was relatively weak. However, this Blue Heart City is still managed by the city lord of Blue Heart City, and these Xiao Wai Chao people are just to guard against Long Ying Wai Chao.
However, despite this, once there is a war, the Blue Heart City will be controlled by the people from Xiaowai. Although Lan Jiang, the lord of Lanxin City, was very dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to do anything.
Moreover, fortunately, although Blue Heart City is important, wars occasionally occur, but not many. Therefore, Lan Xin is basically in charge of this Blue Heart City.
In addition, another thing that makes Lan Xin particularly dissatisfied is that because of the stationing of these people from outside the court, in addition to paying heavy taxes to the dynasty every year, he also has to pay a lot of taxes to these people stationed there.
Xiao Wai Chao believes that these people are stationed in Lanxin City to protect Wai Chao's sphere of influence. It is understandable that they have obtained some resources.
Therefore, Xiaohai and North Korea turned a blind eye to Lan Jiang's repeated complaints. Lan Jiang was angry when he didn't get a response. The wool came from the sheep, so he could only count all these heavy taxes on everyone in the city, including the ordinary people in the city.
In addition, except for the people of Blue Heart City, all outsiders who want to enter Blue Heart City need to pay an entry fee. What is even more infuriating is that for outsiders, not only does it cost money to enter the city, but they also have to pay an exit fee when leaving the city.
For those monks who want to go to other places via Blue Heart City, they are naturally angry. Some monks wanted to fly directly from the city.
However, this huge Blue Heart City has already set up a no-fly formation. It is simply impossible for them to fly over. Their only way is to enter the city.
So, they wanted to go directly to the city. However, for monks with lower cultivation levels, they are naturally unable to force their way into the city under the protection of the city guards.
For those monks with higher cultivation level, although they can force their way into the city, their results will not be very good. Because unlike other cities, there are experts from the outer court stationed here. They can't even stop the people from the Longying outer court, let alone these monks who break into the city.
The final result was that these monks paid dozens or even dozens of times more than the entry and exit fees. Of course, this is still a good thing, some of them were directly killed by them, and everything on them belongs to Lan Xincheng and these garrison masters.
Outsiders hate and fear Lan Xin City, but how much better can this Lan Xin City be? Various taxes have made the local people miserable. In addition to ordinary families, these people also include businessmen, nobles, wealthy families, cultivator families, etc.
But there is no way. Their foundation is here. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to leave Blue Heart City and go elsewhere.
As for those noble families, how could Lan Jiang let them leave so easily? If these nobles, wealthy families, and cultivator families all leave, and only rely on ordinary people, where will he collect these taxes?
Therefore, the people of Lanxin City dare not speak out in anger towards the city lord's mansion. Because they know very well that a city lord's mansion may not be scary. What is scary is that there are experts behind the city lord's mansion. If they dare to resist, they will die.
Cheng Yu also took great pains to deal with the dynasty. After asking about all the situations, he decided where to start.
Therefore, he first learned about Lanxin City from Xu Quan, and then got a thorough understanding of Lanxin City from other places. Finally, he felt that Lanxin City was indeed a good place for him to take action.
However, the only thing that Cheng Yu didn't need to know was the strength of the masters stationed in Lanxin City from Xiaohai Dynasty.
However, Cheng Yu didn't want the other party to know their situation, so he asked Bai Li, Bai Yi and Bai Er to dispatch the three immortal bones first.
The remaining eighteen immortal bones stayed near Lanxin City. In this way, if nothing happens, Bai Li and the three of them can solve Lanxin City.
If there is an accident, the remaining eighteen masters can assist the three of them at any time.
After arranging everything, Cheng Yu set off to the city again. For him, this was a trip. While having fun leisurely, they were waiting for news from Lanxin City.
Although Cheng Yu can contact Bai Li and the others, he cannot see everything about Bai Li as clearly as Yao Na's Qu Kong Mirror. This is something he cannot do.
What he can do is to give instructions to Baili at any time and let them act according to his orders.
However, Bai Li and the others originally had some consciousness of their own, although not much, but enough to move around in the human world.
