"Hmph! Isn't that thanks to your Qinghe Alliance? If it weren't for your suppression, we wouldn't have announced this news at all." Facing the Qinghe City Lord's question, City Lord Bai snorted coldly and said.
"This is not something shameful, why should we hide it?" Qinghe City Lord said calmly.
"Whether we want to hide it or not is a matter between our Baicheng Alliance and the Cheng family. There seems to be no need to let other unrelated people know, right?" Lord Baicheng said disdainfully.
Qinghe City Lord stopped talking. Whether it was City Lord Bai's words or City Lord Zhou's words, he could not judge whether they were true or false.
If the White City Alliance had really joined the Cheng family a year ago, then he really had nothing to say.
Now Zhou Chengzhao and his Qinghe Alliance are willing to hand over the Cheng family's tasks to him only after they surrender to the Cheng family. This is almost impossible.
How could he join the Cheng family in such a big alliance? He is not as spineless as City Lord Bai.
Moreover, although he is the city lord of the Qinghe Alliance, so many deputy city lords will not easily agree to him joining the Cheng family.
"Lord Qinghe, you should believe it now. The White City Alliance has already surrendered to my Cheng family, so if you, the Qinghe Alliance, also want to get the Cheng family's mission, then you can only let the Qinghe Alliance surrender to the Cheng family. This is absolutely unacceptable. Things that may change." City Lord Zhou also said.
Although he did not necessarily want the Qinghe Alliance to join the Cheng family, it was precisely because of this that he had no room for the Qinghe Alliance.
The Baicheng Alliance did not join the Cheng family at first, but the Cheng family also agreed to cooperate with them. That's because the situation at that time was somewhat special.
First of all, City Lord Bai saw the problems that existed in the Cheng family at that time. The Cheng family was somewhat overpopulated, which made it difficult for many people to receive tasks in the Cheng family.
In addition, this cooperation was proposed by City Master Bai himself, not by the Cheng family.
Since the Cheng family can benefit from it, the Cheng family will naturally not reject City Lord Bai.
But the situation is different now. Since cooperating with the Baicheng Alliance, the Cheng family's problems have been effectively solved, so the Cheng family is not in a hurry to expand cooperation partners for the time being.
In this case, the Qinghe Alliance wants to cooperate with the Cheng family, but the Cheng family doesn't care.
Therefore, the conditions will naturally be more stringent. If the Qinghe Alliance does not agree to join the Cheng family, the Cheng family will never give them this opportunity.
If the Qinghe Alliance agrees, it will be a greater achievement for City Lord Zhou, or it will be an unexpected surprise.
Even if they don't agree, City Lord Zhou only needs to let them unblock all the gates, and his mission will be completed, and his contribution will naturally not be less.
"City Lord Zhou, why are the Cheng family so unkind? I promise you to open all the gates now. This can be regarded as a favor to the Cheng family.
Moreover, even if our Qinghe Alliance does not belong to the Cheng family, I think we can still cooperate.
As long as the Cheng family is willing to hand over the task to our Qinghe Alliance, and our Qinghe Alliance is willing to use a large amount of resources in exchange, I think this is not a bad thing for the Cheng family, right? "The Lord of Qinghe City thought for a while and said again.
Although City Lord Zhou had made it very clear, he still didn't want to give up.
Everyone is just for profit. As long as the Cheng family is willing not to surrender to the Qinghe Alliance, it is acceptable to use some resources to cooperate with the Cheng family.
Because he knew very well that as long as he could get the Cheng family's task, it would definitely attract a lot of people.
Just like the White City Alliance, didn't they have a bad life in the past few years?
However, since the Baicheng Alliance released the Cheng family's mission, the situation in the Baicheng Alliance has improved significantly, and each city has gradually become more prosperous.
Judging from the situation of his Qinghe Alliance, the Baicheng Alliance must have made a lot of money in the past two years.
Compared with the Baicheng Alliance, their Qinghe Alliance is even bigger. If they can be like the Baicheng Alliance, they will start to rise after receiving the mission from the Cheng family.
He believed that in less than a year, the Qinghe Alliance would be able to make back all its current losses.
Based on this calculation, it would not be a loss to give the Cheng family a little benefit. At least this way they, the Qinghe Alliance, still belong to themselves, not the Cheng family.
The other deputy city lords were obviously not so shrewd. After hearing the words of the Qinghe City Lord, there was obviously a lot of worry on their faces, but they were all ignored by the Qinghe City Lord.
“City Lord Qinghe, your idea is indeed very good, but I just made it very clear.
If you want to cooperate with our Cheng family, there is only one way to join our Cheng family.
Apart from this, our Cheng family is not interested in any form of cooperation. "City Lord Zhou shook his head, interrupting City Lord Qinghe's dream.
It has to be said that the Lord of Qinghe City is very smart in his calculations. In fact, isn't his cooperation the same as the cooperation with the Baicheng Alliance?
Compared with the temptation of resources to the Cheng family, it is obvious that expanding the territory is more attractive to the Cheng family.
Although the Cheng family is now very powerful and its influence on the world of cultivation is constantly increasing, compared to the entire world, the current Cheng family is obviously nothing.
Therefore, the Cheng family now needs to continue to expand its sphere of influence.
Apart from anything else, the power of this dynasty alone is countless times greater than that of the Cheng family.
However, he didn't know that their family leader and the Dynasty had been enemies for a long time, and there would be a battle that they had to fight with the Dynasty in the future.
If he had known about it, he would probably spare no effort to help the Cheng family expand their power more actively.
“City Lord Zhou, don’t you want to know how many resources our Qinghe Alliance is willing to provide to your Cheng family?
Maybe after you hear this number, you won’t be so insistent anymore! "City Lord Qinghe saw that City Lord Zhou was so determined and that the other party rejected such a good proposal without even asking. This really made him feel very unhappy.
"Lord Qinghe, I have made it very clear to you that the only way to get the right to issue tasks from our Cheng family is to join the Cheng family.
So I'm not interested in how many resources your Qinghe Alliance is willing to provide. "City Lord Zhou refused again.
"The Cheng family has gone too far. Then you mean that all forces that want to cooperate with the Cheng family must join the Cheng family? Then aren't you blatantly annexing us?" Deputy City Lord Huang finally couldn't bear it anymore. , refuted with great dissatisfaction.
Originally, their city lord said that he would provide a large amount of resources to the Cheng family in exchange for the Cheng family's right to issue tasks, but he didn't agree with it.
But what he didn't expect was that the Cheng family's ambitions were greater than he imagined.
They have no interest in the resources provided by their city lord and only want to annex them. The world has never seen such a shameless force.
There are many forces in the world of cultivation, just like these alliances.
Some alliances themselves are also very powerful, even many times stronger than the Qinghe Alliance.
But even if this is the case, they will not see forces weaker than themselves trying to annex them, because at least they have a bottom line.
But this time the Cheng family is much more arrogant. If you want to cooperate with the Cheng family, you must join their Cheng family.
How is this different from annexation?
In the eyes of the Cheng family, there is no such thing as cooperation or non-cooperation, because everything will eventually become the Cheng family's own.
If they have all joined the Cheng family, why should they cooperate? They all belong to the Cheng family anyway!
How can the Cheng family not make people angry with such an attitude!
In fact, deputy city lord Huang was not the only one who was angry about the Cheng family's attitude. The other deputy city lords were also very angry.
But who makes them inferior to others?
Although they knew that there were nearly two million troops in Qingyang City, no one dared to reveal these two million troops and start a war with these people.
Because they know that even if they successfully defeat the people in front of them, or even kill them, it will not solve the fundamental problem, but will bring disaster to the Qinghe Alliance.
After all, the Cheng family is still here. If they kill these people or completely break the relationship between the two parties, the Cheng family will never let them go.
"Deputy City Lord Huang, don't say this nonsense. You have to know that it is not our Cheng family who wants to cooperate with you, but you who want to cooperate with my Cheng family.
Since it is cooperation, both parties must pursue their own interests.
If you are unwilling to accept the conditions for cooperation, you can not cooperate. How can you talk about annexation? "City Lord Zhou said calmly.
This is the world. Whoever has a strong fist has the right to speak.
The Cheng family does not need to cooperate with these forces at all. In addition, the Cheng family is far stronger than them, so naturally there is no need to worry about being restrained by others.
But the Qinghe Alliance is different. Now it has been greatly affected by the rise of the Cheng family.
If you cooperate with the Cheng family, their current situation can indeed be effectively alleviated.
But if they don't cooperate, it's really hard to predict what will happen in the future.
And if the Cheng family really wants to attack their Xiangxiu in the future, they will definitely not be able to stop him.
However, the Cheng family is not going to push them to that step just yet, because the head of the family does not allow him to do so.
"What you said is correct, but what you are doing is forcibly annexing other people's forces!" Deputy City Lord Huang said unwillingly.
"If Deputy City Master Huang insists on saying that, then I have nothing to do. However, the attitude of our Cheng family has always been very clear. If you want to cooperate, you will belong to the Cheng family. If you don't cooperate, our Cheng family will not force you.
If our Cheng family really wanted to annex you, do you think I would still be standing here talking to you so much? Think about it for yourselves.
In addition, I also want the Lord of Qinghe City to do me a favor! "City Lord Zhou said impatiently.
"What do you want City Lord Zhou to do for me?" Regarding City Lord Zhou's statement, City Lord Qinghe knew that it was really impossible for him to get the Cheng family to agree to cooperate with them.
“You should notify the other alliances that have blocked the pass now and ask them to rush to Qingyang City as quickly as possible.
If they don’t show up within a month, then our Cheng family will have to visit them in person! "City Lord Zhou said sternly.
