"Come on, let's go in and have a look!" Director Zou nodded. He also wanted to go in and see what was going on.
In the past, others were not allowed to enter this treasure house casually, but it is different now. Even the resources inside have been handed over to the Holy Dynasty. Even if there are still resources in there, they must be worthless goods.
And the current situation is very strange. Naturally, they can't control it so much. They want to go in and see why the city lord hasn't come out yet?
Entering the treasure house, the environment inside was a bit dark, but fortunately there were spiritual lamps in the passage, so we could see clearly what was going on inside.
"City Lord! City Lord?" Two people led a group of people into the treasure house, but no sign of the city lord was found. The housekeeper couldn't help but shouted softly.
Because of the small space, apart from the echo of the butler, no other movement was heard in the entire treasure house.
"Mr. Zou, how come the city lord is missing?" the steward asked doubtfully.
Although his voice was not very loud, if there were really people in the treasure house, he should still be able to hear the shout, right?
And his echo was so clear, which was enough to prove how quiet it was in the treasure house. With the strength of the city lord, how could he not hear their movements?
"Something seems not quite right!" Chief Zou suddenly felt that the situation was not very good, and now this situation made him think that something might have happened to the city lord.
"Everyone search separately. If you find the city lord, report it immediately!" the housekeeper asked the people behind him.
"Yes!" Everyone spread out with torches, searching throughout the treasure house.
Although the entrance passage is a bit narrow, after entering the treasure house, it is still very large.
This is like an underground palace. The place is very spacious and there are many rooms inside.
It's just that these rooms are not used to live in people, but are used to store various resources.
All the resources submitted by the various cities in the alliance were collected in these places.
But now, all these rooms are empty, and it is obvious that these resources have been taken away by those from the Holy Dynasty.
Looking at these empty rooms, Director Zou felt a little heartbroken.
Although these resources are not his, the monthly salary the city lord gives them comes from here.
Now that there is nothing here, wouldn't the city lord not even be able to get their salary in the future?
However, this was just a momentary thought. It was so quiet in the treasure house now. Except for their own people and the flickering firelights everywhere, they never found anyone or the city lord.
"Steward, chief, there is a corpse here, and the clothes he wears seem to belong to the city lord!" Just as everyone was looking in many places, someone suddenly heard a voice from the innermost part of the treasure house.
Hearing this voice, Director Zou and the housekeeper were suddenly startled and hurriedly walked towards the innermost part of the treasure house.
"This is..." When they came to the innermost room of the treasure house, there was indeed a corpse lying here.
But the most shocking thing is that this body is actually a mummified corpse, with only skin and bones left, and the appearance of the deceased is completely unrecognizable.
But judging from the clothes he was wearing, there was no doubt that he was the city lord.
"City Lord!" The steward's face was full of shock and grief.
He never thought that the people from the Holy Dynasty not only took away all the resources of their Uucheng Alliance, but also killed their city lord.
Chief Zou looked at the mummy and remained silent without speaking.
Although he had already guessed that this might be the result, when he actually saw it all, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The death of the city lord was enough to show that their cooperation negotiations had failed.
It's just a pity that he doesn't even know how the city lord negotiated with them at that time, nor what step they discussed.
Did the Holy Dynasty disagree from the beginning, or did they kill the city lord because of friction and conflict during the negotiation process?
All of this seems to remain a mystery forever.
"Take the city lord's body out and inform the ladies!" Chief Zou sighed and said helplessly.
I have to say that the city lord is still very smart. He kept several ladies in secret, but he did not hide them in this treasure house.
Maybe he had thought of this a long time ago, otherwise, if he brought these people from the Holy Dynasty, these ladies would only be buried with the city lord.
But now that the city lord is dead, Wucheng's cleverness may change.
After leaving the treasure house and returning to the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, it was still dark, but the entire Wucheng became very quiet.
It seemed that everyone knew that the masters of the Holy Dynasty had left Wucheng, and everyone was fine, so no one shouted in the streets anymore.
But this quiet atmosphere seemed to be a form of silence for the death of the city lord.
When the ladies came out of the secret room and saw the body of the city lord, they burst into tears.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, but for most people, this is just a false alarm.
But for many people, this night is the night their lives end.
The next day, the news that the Wucheng Alliance was attacked by the Holy Dynasty quickly spread to other cities. Even the news that the city lord was killed was not concealed and was spread out together.
Many people didn't seem surprised to hear such news.
Because everyone knows that in this area, the Uucheng Alliance is one of the very few cities that has not declared its affiliation to the Cheng family.
Now that they were attacked by the Holy Dynasty, they were unable to resist the Holy Dynasty, and even the city lord was killed. This was just a matter of course.
But it is extremely fortunate for the other surrounding alliances, especially those between the Qiu Feng Alliance and the Wucheng Alliance.
The next target of the holy pilgrimage will be one of them, so they are particularly worried these days.
But what they never expected was that the Holy Dynasty would skip them and go directly to the Wucheng Alliance.
"Did you see it? This is the power of the Cheng family. The Holy Dynasty has long known that we have joined the Cheng family. There are experts from the Cheng family in the city, so they will directly bypass us and go directly to the Wucheng Alliance. .
Sure enough, without the help of the Cheng family, City Lord Wu would end up dead.
Fortunately, when we saw that the situation was not right, we joined the Cheng family early and invited the experts from the Cheng family to take charge. "Some alliance city lords said with a smile.
"The city lord is wise, otherwise we might be the unlucky ones!" Each of the principals said happily, flattering each other.
