City Lord Han and the others saw that City Lord Meng and the others had been following City Lord Zhou and the others, and their relationship seemed to be very good. At this moment, the City Lords who had not joined the Cheng family began to feel a little jealous.
In fact, after the White City Alliance withdrew, all these city lords gathered together again to meet.
At that time, City Lord Meng and others even persuaded City Lord Han and others to join the Cheng family.
But by that time, everyone's crisis had been resolved, so how could they choose to be controlled by others?
Besides, they were also afraid that this would anger the dynasty. If they do this and attract the dynasty, they are really seeking death.
Of course, they had other plans in mind. Since Mengcheng and others had already joined the Cheng family, they felt that the dynasty would definitely cause trouble for them, so they were actually looking forward to this good show.
In their opinion, even if they have the protection of the Cheng family, the Cheng family may still fight with the dynasty, which will be very lively.
Maybe the collision between the two big forces will benefit small fish and shrimps like them, but not necessarily.
What they never expected was that during this year, the Cheng family even broke the news of building new cities everywhere, but even so, they never saw the dynasty appear.
In fact, some of them, the city lords, even secretly sent letters to the dynasty, telling how the Cheng family bullied nearby cities and how they were expanding their power into the world of cultivation.
I thought they would make the Dynasty come to the Cheng family to cause trouble, but it was still disappointing. The Dynasty seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Although the people from the Dynasty were still there, after all, their letters were sent back by the people from the Dynasty, they never waited for a reply from the Dynasty, nor did they see anyone from the Dynasty come here to cause trouble for the Cheng family.
This makes people very confused, what is going on with this dynasty?
The Cheng family has bullied them right to their doorstep, but the dynasty still turns a blind eye. This is really puzzling.
Later, they heard that the Holy Dynasty outside was very arrogant and occupied cities everywhere, so there were always rumors that the Holy Dynasty was exhausted due to this Holy Dynasty.
At first they didn't quite believe it, but slowly, they seemed to believe it.
After all, if that wasn't the case, why could the dynasty be so willing to let the Cheng family continue to expand and ignore it?
Since the dynasty does not appear, not only will the Cheng family be fine, but also Mengcheng and other cities that have taken refuge with the Cheng family will be fine.
However, what is even more unpleasant is that because Mengcheng and the others have announced that they will be protected by the Cheng family in the future, it is actually equivalent to admitting that they have joined the Cheng family.
It was precisely because of this news that many people who originally supported the Cheng family also had a lot of favorable impressions of these cities. Gradually, he found that these cities that had taken refuge in the Cheng family had become much more prosperous.
This made the city lords who had not taken refuge with the Cheng family envious and felt extremely unhappy.
I didn't expect that they would be involved in such a good thing. Not only were they not punished by the dynasty, but they also received a lot of benefits from the Cheng family, which was really annoying.
Originally, the emergence of Yungui New City had nothing to do with them. However, now that the emergence of Yungui New City has become their neighbor, they thought it would be more appropriate to show up no matter what.
Moreover, they can also take the opportunity to inquire about the Cheng family's situation, and they also need to consider whether they really should seek refuge with the Cheng family.
Now they don't know what the real situation of the dynasty is like. If the dynasty really doesn't care about their affairs, and joining the Cheng family can make their city prosperous, then there is no reason for them to lose such a good opportunity.
Especially when they saw several cities in Mengcheng slowly prospering, they felt really uncomfortable. They also hoped that their cities could prosper like them.
"City Lord Han, look at them, they seem to be getting more and more accustomed to their current status!" Several city lords looked at City Lord Meng and the others who had been following City Lord Zhou, and said with some sourness.
You know, they used to have the same identity.
But now, they seem to have become close confidants of the Cheng family, or in other words, today they are like the owners of this Yunnan-Guizhou New City, and they are just guests.
This feeling really made them feel very unhappy.
But there was nothing they could do. This was the result of their original choices.
Moreover, they wanted to check out the Cheng family today and see if they could get some benefits from the Cheng family.
If they can get benefits, then there is nothing they can't do to take over the Cheng family to rule them.
After entering the new city lord's mansion, everyone sat on both sides.
There are guests on one side and hosts on the other, which makes everyone's mood change even more.
Even City Lord Bai looked at City Lord Meng and the others, and his expressions couldn't help but become thoughtful.
"Today everyone can enjoy the opening ceremony of Yungui New City. I, Zhou, am very happy and thank you very much. Come on, let me toast you all!" When the drinks and food were served, City Lord Zhou raised his glass and said happily.
"Congratulations to City Lord Zhou!" Everyone also raised their wine glasses and said with a smile.
During the banquet, City Lord Zhou even arranged some performances by singers and dancers. Although the performances were wonderful, some people were always absent-minded and did not pay attention to them.
"Are you dissatisfied with their performance? Why are you all a little depressed?" City Master Zhou clapped his hands, asked the performers to go down, and said to City Master Bai and the others.
Hearing what City Lord Zhou said, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Although they did have something to say in their hearts, they were too embarrassed to say it.
"City Lord Zhou, let me tell you the truth. Today, in addition to congratulating City Lord Zhou on opening the new city, Mr. Bai also has something to discuss with City Lord Zhou." City Lord Bai thought for a while and was the first to speak.
"Oh? I wonder what City Lord Bai has to discuss with Zhou?" City Lord Zhou asked.
"Can City Master Zhou please move aside so we can talk about this matter alone?" City Master Bai looked at the others and said.
Although he had a plan in mind, he didn't want others to know about it.
"If that's the case, then please stay here for a while while I talk to City Master Bai alone!" City Master Zhou thought for a while and did not refuse.
So, City Lord Zhou took City Lord Bai into a side hall, leaving the rest of the people confused and looking at each other. They wondered what kind of scandal this City Lord Bai had brought up. Could it be that he was going to be disadvantageous to them?
"I don't know what the hell Baicheng is doing. Are they still plotting against us?" Long City Lord said.
