"City Master Bai, it's not that I don't want you to come into the city to talk, but my Qingyang City has not been peaceful recently and some bad things have happened, so I don't allow anyone to enter the city for the time being. I also ask City Master Bai to express my gratitude to you on my behalf. City Lord Zhou apologized." City Lord Qinghe said.
"I don't know what the bad thing is? Please make it clear, Lord Qinghe!" Lord Bai asked, but he was very suspicious in his heart.
"Actually, this is not a secret. A plague has recently appeared in our Qinghe Alliance. Many people in various cities have contracted the disease and died, so we have to close the city gates. Please forgive me, Lord Bai!" said Lord Qinghe.
"Is there such a coincidence? As soon as we arrived, a plague appeared in your Qinghe Alliance?" City Lord Bai said very suspiciously.
"City Lord Bai is wrong. As early as a few months ago, plague appeared in our Qinghe Alliance, so we had to close the gates of each city to prevent the plague from spreading to other places and avoiding more innocent people. Die from the plague!" said the Lord of Qinghe City.
"How many months ago? What does Qinghe City Lord mean that the Qinghe Alliance suddenly closed the city gates in the past few months because of the emergence of the plague?" City Lord Bai asked, stunned.
"That's right!" Qinghe City Lord nodded.
"But if Bai is not at fault, the Qinghe Alliance did not close all the cities at that time. The closure of the cities in the Qinghe Alliance was just the passage to our Baicheng Alliance.
I don’t know how the Qinghe Alliance should explain this? "City Lord Bai is not a fool. Qinghe City Lord's remarks are obviously just looking for an excuse to deny that the Qinghe Alliance is just to suppress the Baicheng Alliance.
But will he believe it?
If the plague really appeared in the Qinghe Alliance, then everyone would have known the news for a long time. How could it be that they had never heard of the plague in the Qinghe Alliance for so long?
"City Lord Bai didn't know that the plague had happened to people who came to the Qinghe Alliance from the South Gate from the beginning, and there were more than one. So in order to prevent more infected people from entering the Qinghe Alliance, we naturally had no choice but to The south gate of Qinghe City is closed.
What Qinghe did was definitely not against the Baicheng Alliance. If this caused misunderstanding to City Lord Baicheng, Qinghe would like to apologize to City Lord Baicheng! "Qinghe City Lord explained.
"Then the purpose of Qinghe City Lord's coming is to suspect that our people from the Baicheng Alliance have brought the plague to your Qinghe Alliance?" City Lord Bai said with a straight face.
"Master Bai City, please don't get me wrong. I just said that the infected people came in through the south gate. But the south gate leads to more than just your White City Alliance?
Moreover, if there is a plague in the White City Alliance, the Lord of White City should have known about it for a long time. It can be seen that this plague naturally spread from other places! " Qinghe City Lord said.
"So, Bai really misunderstood City Master Qinghe?" City Master Bai sneered.
Although the other party said exactly what he said, he didn't believe what the other party said at all.
"City Master Bai, we are all old acquaintances. It is normal for us to have some misunderstandings. However, it would be nice if everyone made it clear. So I also ask for your forgiveness, City Master Bai. It is indeed inconvenient for the Qinghe Alliance to receive you now, so please give it a try for the time being. Go back, when we control all the plagues, we will definitely come to the White City Alliance to visit you!" said the Lord of Qinghe City.
"City Lord Qinghe, don't rush me away yet, I'm just curious!" City Lord Bai said with a smile.
"What are you curious about, City Master Bai?" City Master Qinghe asked with a frown.
"It's very simple. If the plague really appeared in the Qinghe Alliance, why did the Yangchuan Alliance, Lingcheng Alliance and other alliances surrounding our Baicheng Alliance close the gateway to our Baicheng Alliance at the same time?
Is it possible that the plague appeared in these alliances at the same time? "City Lord Bai said with a smile.
"How do I know about this... things between other alliances? Maybe... this is just a coincidence!" The Lord of Qinghe City was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"It turned out to be a coincidence. I thought it was agreed upon by your alliance?" City Lord Bai said with a "sudden realization".
"How is this possible? Our Qinghe Alliance closed the south gate of Qingyang City entirely because of this epidemic. It has nothing to do with the other alliances!" said the Lord of Qinghe City.
"City Lord Qinghe, let me tell you this, this time I just brought City Lord Zhou from the Cheng family here, so it's not like I can just go back.
Even if I believe what City Lord Qinghe said now, if I put it in front of City Lord Zhou, does Lord Qinghe think City Lord Zhou would believe it? "City Lord Bai said with a sneer.
"I don't quite understand what City Lord Bai said. What I said is all true. Why doesn't City Lord Zhou believe it?" City Lord Qinghe said.
Although on the surface his expression didn't seem to change much, he was very nervous inside.
Because he knows best that all this is just made up by himself.
If the masters of the Cheng family refused to leave or even entered Qingyang City, he really didn't know what to do?
The reason why he wanted to make this up was because he didn't want to admit that the Qinghe Alliance was deliberately embarrassing the Baicheng Alliance, and he also wanted to delay more time. Everything had to wait until people from other alliances arrived.
If the Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family can really be sent away in this way, then the Qinghe Alliance will not only get out of trouble, but even if they come back in the future, at least the people from other alliances will be here, so they don't have to worry so much.
"I think City Lord Qinghe knows best whether it is true or not, but I will truthfully tell City Lord Zhou what City Lord Qinghe just said. As for whether City Lord Zhou will believe it, just wait here!" City Lord Bai Don't talk nonsense to him anymore.
Anyway, the plague is definitely fake. If the plague really happened, would the White City Alliance not get any news at all?
However, this matter still has to be resolved by City Lord Zhou in the end. Even if City Lord Zhou really believes the rhetoric of the Qinghe Alliance, he will try his best to make City Lord Zhou not believe it.
Looking at the back of City Lord Bai leading his people away, and then looking at the Cheng family and others not far away, the face of City Lord Qinghe looked very ugly.
"City Lord, what should we do? Neither City Lord Bai nor the Cheng family will believe this rhetoric! If this is not true, if this happens to them, then the Cheng family will really be furious!" Deputy Ji The city lord said worriedly.
If it were just the Baicheng Alliance, of course they would have nothing to fear. What they were afraid of was just the Cheng family.
Now the Baicheng Alliance is the power of the Cheng family. If the Cheng family knew that the Qinghe Alliance was deceiving them, it would be difficult for them to start a war.
"As long as they don't enter the city, how will they know whether what I say is true or false? Anyway, as long as we insist that all this happened because of the plague!" said the Lord of Qinghe City.
Now that things have come to this, even if it is false, it must become true at this time.
"City Lord, is this really possible? What if they want to force their way into the city?" Deputy City Lord Ji said.
"It doesn't matter, we have to stall for time. As long as we wait until people from other alliances arrive, it doesn't matter if they find out by then.
The worst case scenario is that everyone will die. I don’t think the Cheng family wants to be enemies with so many alliances, right? "The Lord of Qinghe City said harshly.
Now that things have happened, we can only do nothing.
"That can only be like this!" Deputy City Lord Ji felt that he felt really uneasy now.
He always felt that such a lie would be seen through by the masters of the Cheng family. How embarrassing would it be for their Qinghe Alliance?
But it's not up to him to make the decision. He is just the deputy city lord of Qingyang City.
At this time, City Lord Zhou had already listened to City Lord Bai recount the conversation he had just had with City Lord Qinghe.
However, the words of City Lord Qinghe have little credibility, so City Lord Bai does not need to add any extra fuel to his words. As long as he is a normal person, no one will believe these words.
"Is this what Qinghe City Lord really said?" Zhou City Lord said lightly, unable to tell what he was thinking.
"Yes! Everyone heard clearly, he said everything was because of the plague.
But in all my time, I have never heard of any news about the plague.
Moreover, even if the plague does appear in Qingyang City, it is impossible that all the alliances around me, the Baicheng Alliance, will be so coincidental, and the plague will appear at the same time, and I, the Baicheng Alliance, who is in the middle, will be fine.
The Lord of Qinghe City said this because he clearly did not want to admit that he blocked the pass to deal with our White City Alliance.
In this way, we have no reason to blame them. "City Lord Bai said.
"Of course I understand this. Let's go and talk to him!" City Lord Zhou nodded and said.
Of course he would not believe such an obvious lie, but they insisted that it was because of the plague, and it seemed that they had no way to expose their lies!
"City Lord Zhou, what do you decide to tell them?" City Lord Bai couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that City Lord Zhou was not planning to leave Qingyang City because of this.
If City Lord Zhou planned to leave like this, he would be very worried that this operation would fail.
But now City Lord Zhou has to go to meet City Lord Qinghe in person, which shows that their Baicheng Alliance still has great hope.
"Go over and meet him first!" City Lord Zhou shook his head but did not tell City Lord Bai.
So City Lord Bai could only take the others and follow City Lord Zhou to approach the south gate again.
"City Lord, all of them are here, are they really planning to start a war with us?" Seeing the Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family coming, Deputy City Lord Ji couldn't help but feel very nervous.
"Are our troops and horses ready?" Qinghe City Lord also became very nervous.
From the bottom of his heart, he absolutely did not want to start a war with the Cheng family, especially before other alliances arrived.
But if the Cheng family really wants to force it, they can only try their best to resist it, and there is no way they can easily break the city!
