"Cooperation? I wonder what City Lord Zhou means by this cooperation?" Deputy City Lord Meng was stunned and looked at Lord Xianyue and Lord Long.
They originally sent Lord Xianyue and Lord Long to the secular world to seek help from the Cheng family.
But he didn't know how the two of them talked with the Cheng family.
At least he was really happy when the Cheng family's master appeared just now. He felt that City Lord Xian Yue and Lord Long City really lived up to expectations and actually succeeded in bringing reinforcements from the Cheng family.
Especially when he saw that the Cheng family's reinforcements were so strong and actually invited masters who had transcended the tribulation period, he was even more delighted.
But now, after hearing City Lord Zhou's words, he had an uneasy or even ominous premonition.
Looking at the two City Masters Xian Yue again, seeing their embarrassed expressions, he felt that it might not be that simple.
But thinking about it, the Cheng family seems to be a little too generous.
They didn't have any friendship with the Cheng family. If they could send some people here, everyone in Hongcheng would be extremely grateful.
But now, not only did they send people, but they also sent masters who had transcended the tribulation period.
I don't know how City Master Xian Yue and the others got the Cheng family to send such experts. They probably spent a lot of money in this.
Now the White City Alliance army has indeed been driven out of Hongcheng by them, but I don't know if they can all afford this cost!
"Let's find a quiet place to have a good talk first!" Zhou Heng said lightly.
"But the Baicheng Alliance's army is still outside the city..." Deputy City Lord Meng looked at the Baicheng Alliance's army outside the city, although they were driven out of Hongcheng by the Cheng family's masters.
But those people did not leave, but still stood outside the city, looking at Hongcheng with eager eyes, as if they had not given up the idea of capturing Hongcheng, and were ready to continue attacking Hongcheng at any time.
If they leave the north gate at this time, he is really worried that the White City Alliance army will come in again.
"Don't worry, as long as we are still in Hongcheng, they will not dare to step into Hongcheng again!" Zhou Heng turned away from the city and said nonchalantly.
Before the cooperation was settled, it was impossible for him to do anything for Hong Cheng.
Moreover, as long as the cooperation is not negotiated, he will lead his people to leave Hongcheng immediately, and even remind the Baicheng Alliance to attack Hongcheng.
Sometimes, in order to achieve your own goals, you just have to do whatever it takes.
It is always more appropriate for your interests to be in your own hands, not in the hands of others.
"Then...Okay! Seniors, please come with me to my humble residence for a detailed discussion!" Deputy City Lord Meng saw that although the Baicheng Alliance's army was still stationed outside Hongcheng, it did not intend to attack Hongcheng again. So he was relieved for the time being.
Moreover, he also saw the strength of masters like the Cheng family.
As long as they are still in Hongcheng, those in the Baicheng Alliance should really not dare to attack Hongcheng again.
Unless they want to be killed instantly like the late Mahayana monk before.
The forces of the White City Alliance are powerful, but he knows it very well. The masters in the late Mahayana period were hard-earned, and even they could hardly lose such a general.
If the Cheng family were to kill a few more masters of this level, even if the entire White City Alliance army was not killed, the White City Alliance would suffer heavy losses.
Amid everyone's curiosity and confusion, Deputy City Lord Meng and several other city lords left the north gate with the Cheng family's masters.
They didn't understand that the White City Alliance's army was just outside the city.
Since the masters of the Cheng family have already arrived, and they are such peerless masters, why don't they just go out and directly defeat or repel the White City Alliance army?
"Everyone obeys the order. No one is allowed to leave the North Gate without my order! As long as the Baicheng Alliance dares to step into Hongcheng, they will be killed!" After Deputy City Lord Meng left, the North Gate guard shouted to everyone.
"Yes!" Perhaps they saw the domineering power of the masters of the Cheng family. When they heard such words again, their number of soldiers instantly increased.
The moment they shouted, they seemed to have transformed into the masters of the Cheng family.
As long as the White City Alliance army dares to come in, they will kill them with one sword. Although just thinking about it, it already made their blood boil.
Meng Mansion!
Deputy City Lord Meng brought everyone to his mansion. Since City Lord Hong didn't know what the situation was now, it was impossible for him to directly occupy the City Lord's Mansion.
Therefore, for the time being, he can only replace the City Lord's Palace with his Meng Palace.
"Seniors, please have tea!" In the hall, everyone was seated and tea was served, Deputy City Lord Meng said politely.
"Thank you!"
"City Lord Zhou, can you tell us what you mean by cooperation before?" Deputy City Lord Meng said straight to the point without mincing words.
After all, the crisis in Hongcheng has not been resolved, and Hongcheng's army may attack the city again at any time. He does not have so much time to waste.
"The matter is actually very simple. Lord Xianyue and Lord Long came to the small town of Yunnan and Guizhou to find me and wanted me to send troops to support Hongcheng.
However, I can't make the decision on this matter, so I can only ask the head of our family for instructions.
Our master is kind-hearted and willing to send troops to help you, but he has put a condition on you.
As long as you are willing to accept this condition, then our Cheng family can not only help you drive away the White City Alliance army outside the city, but we can even protect your cities from being threatened by the White City Alliance! "Zhou Heng also explained simply.
"Conditions? I wonder what kind of conditions your master proposed?" Deputy City Master Meng and the other city masters present finally understood how City Master Xian Yue and the others invited the experts from the Cheng family.
However, the condition proposed by the head of the Cheng family may not be that simple.
"The conditions are very simple. As long as each of your cities is willing to join my Cheng family in the future, then all your current difficulties will be solved!" City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"You want us to join the Cheng family? This..." All the city lords were suddenly shocked. They felt that this condition was too much, but they couldn't say it out loud.
Under such a special situation, the head of the Cheng family proposed such conditions, which was tantamount to taking advantage of the situation.
Everyone's original favorable impression of the Cheng family suddenly disappeared without a trace!
"City Lord Zhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to agree to your terms, Lord Zhou!" Deputy City Lord Meng shook his head and said.
If they agreed to City Lord Zhou, even if they drove away the Baicheng Alliance, but fell into the hands of the Cheng family, wouldn't the result be the same?
In this case, why should they invite reinforcements? They might as well fight to the death with the White City Alliance army!
