It has to be said that every word of City Lord Zhou seems to be in a routine. Whether City Lord Qinghe caters to him from the front or refutes him from the negative, he will fall into the pit he has already set.
Therefore, after being led around by City Lord Zhou for a few times, City Lord Qinghe broke into a cold sweat. He felt that it was too dangerous to talk to City Lord Zhou, and he was accidentally led into a ditch by him.
"City Lord Zhou, is this not appropriate? Although the plague in our Qinghe Alliance has basically been controlled, we are still constantly investigating everyone.
If the blockade is lifted at this time, it is very likely that more people will be infected with the plague again, so City Lord Zhou please forgive me. For the time being, we really cannot open the city gates and let you enter the city! "The Lord of Qinghe City once again refused to let everyone enter the city.
If they were really allowed to enter the city, wouldn't everything be revealed?
"City Lord Zhou, this Qinghe City Lord is too cunning. No matter what excuses we make, he just won't let us enter the city!" City Lord Bai felt very angry in his heart, but he really couldn't find a reason to enter the city. .
There is no way, he does not have the power to command everyone, otherwise, if he has so many masters in the tribulation period, he will lead people to forcefully enter the city.
It's a pity that City Lord Zhou will never allow him to do this.
"Lord Qinghe, we have a heavy responsibility to take advantage of the Qinghe Alliance this time, so we ask Lord Qinghe to make it easier." Seeing Lord Qinghe acting like this, Lord Zhou could only find another excuse.
"City Lord Zhou, this is a bit difficult. Our Qinghe Alliance really can't let everyone enter the city now. I'm really sorry!" Qinghe City Lord said with an embarrassed look.
"Lord Qinghe, to tell you the truth, this mission is very important to us, and time is tight. It is impossible to change lanes now.
So this time I ask the Lord of Qinghe City to give Zhou some face. If he delays his mission, Zhou may be in danger of losing his life. The Lord of Qinghe City doesn’t want to push Zhou to a dead end, right? "City Lord Zhou's expression slowly faded.
Obviously, Qinghe City Lord's repeated refusal to allow them to enter the city has made him dissatisfied.
However, even so, he still had no intention of breaking up directly.
But after his words came out, the faces of Qinghe City Lord and the others became very ugly.
"City Lord, the City Lord is clearly forcing us this week. If we don't let them enter the city, they will probably force us to do so!" Deputy City Lord Ji was both angry and worried.
City Lord Zhou was pressing them step by step, clearly not planning to let them go.
"Then what good idea do you have?" Qinghe City Lord said.
He didn't know what City Lord Zhou meant, but it was his words that really drove him to a dead end.
"City Lord, I really have no choice this time. If they are allowed to enter the city, then the plague we are talking about will definitely be revealed.
But now City Lord Zhou has spoken out about this. If we don't let them in, they will probably force their way in. "Deputy City Lord Ji said helplessly.
Although City Lord Zhou's words seemed to be a request to City Lord Qinghe, in fact this was simply an ultimatum. No matter what the Qinghe Alliance decided, they seemed to have to enter Qingyang City.
"It's a pity that we didn't drag people from other alliances to Qingyang City after all. Otherwise, with the support of other alliances, it might be possible to keep them out of the city." The Lord of Qinghe City also said in a very embarrassed tone.
"City Lord, what should we do now? It's neither letting them in nor letting them in!" Deputy City Lord Ji asked.
Snap, snap, snap!
At this moment, the people on top of the city tower saw a large number of soldiers and horses in the city walking towards the city tower neatly, with a majestic momentum like a rainbow.
"City Lord, our troops are all here. We can fight against the Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family at any time!" More than twenty deputy city lords climbed onto the tower together and said to the Qinghe City Lord.
"Is there really going to be a war?" He looked at the nearly two million troops in the city, and then looked at the tens of thousands of people outside the city.
Although there was a huge difference in numbers between the two sides, and the Qinghe Alliance seemed to have a huge advantage, he felt guilty.
I don’t know if it is really like Deputy City Lord Ji said. If they really can’t defeat the tens of thousands of Cheng family with two million troops, wouldn’t their Qinghe Alliance suffer heavy losses?
You know, the entire Qinghe Alliance only has more than three million people. If two million people are lost here, it goes without saying what a blow it will be to the Qinghe Alliance.
So he hesitated!
"City Lord! Don't they, the Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family, only have this few people combined? As long as the City Lord gives the order, we will open the city and go to war. I guarantee that we can clean them all up easily."
Deputy City Lord Jiang did not understand the trouble that City Lord Qinghe and the others were encountering at this time.
Just seeing that there were tens of thousands of people outside the city was no different from the information they received at the beginning, and they suddenly felt that everything was under their control.
"City Lord, the Cheng family really takes themselves too seriously. Even just a few people want to fight with our Qinghe Alliance. With just a few people like them, even without the help of other alliances, we can still make them come back without any return. !" Deputy City Lord Huang also said.
"City Lord Qinghe, how are you thinking? Do you want to borrow this or not?" Just when City Lord Qinghe didn't know how to explain the situation to these deputy city lords, City Lord Zhou outside the city once again spoke.
"City Lord, he said borrowing a way? What does that mean?" Deputy City Lord Huang asked with some confusion.
"Deputy City Lord Huang, this is what happened...!" So, Deputy City Lord Ji on the side briefly told these deputy City Lords what had just happened.
"So that's it, hum! The city lord is really bullying people this week. He is clearly trying to force us to open the city.
City Lord, if you ask me, let's not agree to any excuses. Let's just go to war.
We have two million people here, are we still afraid of such a small number of them? "After hearing these things, Deputy City Lord Huang was furious and wanted to start a war right away.
"City Master Huang, you must not be impulsive in this matter. According to what I observed just now, there are quite a few experts in the tribulation stage coming from the Cheng family this time, at least ten or more.
If we act impulsively and really fall out with the Cheng family, then even if we defeat the Cheng family now, what will we do in the future?
Moreover, if we really kill the Cheng family's tribulation period, then we will really set a big trap, so we must not take this matter lightly. "Deputy City Lord Ji quickly reminded.
Although he is the deputy city lord of Qingyang City, the lord of Qinghe City is always in charge of Qinghe City.
He has always been in charge of Qingyang City, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the lord of Qingyang City.
As the person in charge of Qingyang City, he naturally did not want to start a war with the Cheng family here.
What's more, Qingyang City is the gateway for the Baicheng Alliance to go north. Now the Baicheng Alliance has surrendered to the Cheng family, which means that if the Qinghe Alliance completely offends the Cheng family and the Cheng family wants to go to war with the Qinghe Alliance, then Qingyang The city is in dire straits, it will definitely become a place for attacks by the Cheng family's beasts.
"City Lord, let me see, since the City Lord said this week that he was leaving with a heavy responsibility and was just borrowing a passage from us, then we should just obey him and let them enter the city to borrow a passage.
We have not offended them, so after entering the city, can they still kill innocent people indiscriminately in our city?
And they all said that they have important responsibilities, so there is no reason for them to stay in our Qinghe Alliance and not leave, right? They had to leave even if they entered the city. After all, they had a mission of their own choosing. Deputy City Lord Jiang suggested.
"Is this... feasible?" Qinghe City Lord frowned.
"I'm afraid it won't work. As we said before, we closed the city gate because of the plague, not because we closed the south gate to target the White City Alliance.
If we let them into the city, then they will know that our Qinghe Alliance does not have any plague at all, then how can we cover up this lie? "Deputy City Lord Ji said.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have said that there was a plague in the city." At this moment, the Lord of Qinghe City suddenly regretted it, feeling that he had really shot himself in the foot this time.
"But if we hadn't said that at the beginning, the Cheng family would have taken action against us long ago." Deputy City Lord Ji said.
Although the lie of Qinghe City Lord is not correct, it is not necessarily wrong.
Moreover, even if they didn't say there was a plague, they still had to find another explanation to explain why they wanted to block the pass in the direction of the White City Alliance.
Otherwise, they can tell the Cheng family directly that we are doing this to deal with the White City Alliance?
It would be strange if the Cheng family started a war if they were not directly provoked!
Therefore, Qinghe City Lord's method is not wrong, it's just that they are now in a new dilemma.
"This won't work, and that won't work either, so what should we do?" Deputy City Lord Huang said impatiently.
"If it doesn't work, we can only open the city. Even if the Cheng family really finds out everything, the worst thing we can do is stop blocking the city gate and let them come and go freely." Deputy City Master Jiang said.
"In that case, what's the point of all the effort we put into it?" Deputy City Lord Huang said.
"Then who makes our strength inferior to the Cheng family? Moreover, people from other alliances have not come here. If we fight against the Cheng family like this, it will obviously be very uneconomical.
If everyone is really unwilling, I have another way! Deputy City Lord Jiang said.
"What can be done?" Qinghe City Lord asked.
"Let's compromise with the Cheng family first. If they want to make things difficult for us, then we will lift the blockade first.
After they leave, or until people from other alliances arrive, everyone can add up the total. If everyone is willing to come forward to confront the Cheng family, then we can just re-block the gate. Deputy City Lord Jiang said.
"In this case, wouldn't we, the Qinghe Alliance, have to go back on our word and break our promise?" The Lord of Qinghe City frowned, obviously feeling that this was a bit too embarrassing!
