The group of envoys from the Hudu Imperial City in front of them were killed instantly. Their cold corpses fell in the hall, with a look of horror and shock still on their faces.
"Brother Zhongli, what are you" Xue Yun couldn't help but ponder.
"A letter of submission."
There was no hesitation between his brows.
Zhong Lizhan waved his hand gently and said solemnly: "At the same time, it also represents the determination of our 'Dog City' to resist to the end."
Killed the imperial envoy in one fell swoop.
"Dog City" has completely broken up with the Daxia royal family, and there is no way back.
The reason why Zhong Lizhan did this was to gain Xue Yun's absolute trust.
He raised his eyebrows.
Seeing the cold corpses on the side, Xue Yun felt a little moved in his heart.
These so-called imperial city missions are nothing more than pawns sent by Xuanyuan Hong to test the city lords of various princes.
The purpose is to force the major princes to take action. Only in this way can Xuanyuan Hong take the opportunity to gain support from both the government and the public, and wipe out the local forces in all the fortress cities in one fell swoop.
??In fact.
The imperial envoys from Longdu have also left Hexi a long time ago. God knows what kind of chaos the Great Xia Empire will be like in the future.
He waved his hand gently.
Zhong Lizhan acted calmly and calmly, and Tong Maoer immediately understood the tacit understanding formed over the years even without having to speak.
"Father, Uncle Xue, you two have a chat while my brothers and I retreat first!"
He kicked away the corpse beside him and winked at his subordinates.
Tong Maoer quickly led everyone to clean up the corpses, and then exited the hall one after another.
"My dear brother, let's form an alliance."
Looking back at the bustling night view outside the attic.
Zhong Lizhan's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Whether you are willing or not, we people will have to fight against the Imperial City. The Xuanyuan royal family has a profound heritage, and the Imperial City Tiger City is even more powerful. If we go it alone, any fortress city will not be able to fight alone." Not their match."
"For the current plan, we can only stay together to keep ourselves warm, so that we will not be defeated by the royal family"
The eyes are profound.
Zhongli Chan looked at Xue Yun and suggested: "To be honest, brother, I have notified the other city lords and agreed to find a hidden place to get together on the ninth day of the lunar month next month. It is very likely that we will form a unified front and work together." In response to the upcoming turmoil in the Daxia Empire."
As soon as these words came out.
Even though Xue Yun has a very strong psychological quality, he was still a little shocked.
Leaving aside the Imperial City and the Tiger City for now, the big bosses from the eleven fortress cities gathered together to discuss important matters. Such a grand occasion was probably only possible during the founding period of the country five hundred years ago.
"Brother Zhongli, why are you doing this?"
He shook his head silently.
Xue Yun sighed helplessly and reminded: "Today's princes from all over the country are not monolithic. They follow the trend and even waver on the wall. There are many people. These clowns are more hateful than the enemy. They are definitely not acceptable. A trustworthy guy.¡±
It is easy to guard against a gentleman, but even more difficult to guard against a villain.
Since ancient times, people have been unpredictable, and no one knows who is worthy of trust. As long as the interests are large enough, when faced with a crisis, more people will choose to backstab their allies at critical moments.
"I see."
??Take a deep breath.
Zhong Lizhan nodded and explained: "But today's Dog City is still under attack from both sides. If we don't make a decision, even with Senior Zhang Mufeng sitting in the city, it will be difficult to guarantee that the Aisha Principality will not take advantage of the chaos again. Invasion."
There was a pause.
The city lord in front of him looked helpless and sighed: "This time there is an army of tens of thousands, but who can guarantee that the next time there is civil strife in Daxia, they will dispatch hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops. Across the border?!¡±
Grit your teeth.
Zhong Lizhan said firmly: "The matter is so important that I don't dare to gamble at all, and I can't afford to gamble"
no doubt.
Zhong Lizhan¡¯s doubts are not groundless.
Although Zhang Mufeng is strong, the Principality of Aisha, one of the five major civilizations in the world, is by no means weak.
In his country, there are also strong men who can rival Zhang Mufeng, and there are far more than one.
As long as the benefits are big enough.
"Bao Buqi, this bunch of bellicose lunatics, will take advantage of Da Xia'sDuring the chaos, the whole country mobilized to raid the border again.
By that time, unless the royal family of Great Xia can stop its plan to seize power in the fortress city, "Dog City" will simply not be able to withstand such a strong offensive, and all the prosperity in front of it will be turned into scorched earth.
"Good guy."
I couldn¡¯t help but laugh.
Xue Yun suddenly felt a little pity for the newly recognized eldest brother. Although he was very confident about his high position and power, he had to find a job in his position. He had too many things to worry about.
"So, brother, you have no choice but to be the one in the spotlight?"
¡°It¡¯s appropriate to be a first-timer, even if it¡¯s inappropriate.¡±
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Putting his hands on the handrails of the pavilion, Zhong Lizhan said sadly: "Who allowed the foundation of our ancestors to be established in this extremely cold northern border? I would also like to settle down in a corner and live a carefree and leisurely life, but it's a pity that Ah, God won't give me this chance at all"
We are on the border, surrounded by internal and external attacks.
The special geographical location has already determined that Zhong Lizhan cannot wait and see what happens like others.
"learn."
Xue Yun shrugged his shoulders and asked: "Brother, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple."
Zhong Lizhan's eyes were as bright as a torch and he suggested: "At that time, the princes from all over the Xia will gather together. I hope you can attend the meeting on behalf of Longdu to discuss the plan to fight against the imperial city."
He was suddenly startled.
Xue Yun was immediately dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak to emphasize his identity, he was abruptly interrupted by Zhong Lizhan.
"Brother Wei knows that the current city lord Hu Kui is your best friend, and you have not been qualified for any substantive position within Longdu."
"These things are not the point"
??Smile wisely.
Raising his hand and patting Xue Yun's shoulder, Zhong Lizhan emphasized: "The point is that everyone in the world knows that you are the descendant of Beigong Mu. This is enough. As long as you accompany Hu Kui to attend the meeting, plus my support, I believe those princes have nothing to say, and the right to speak in Longdu will still be in your hands."
I have already figured everything out.
Having been in the power arena for many years, it must be said that Zhong Lizhan has an extremely keen sense of politics.
He had already realized that Xue Yun in front of him actually had the ability to influence Longdu's decision-making.
"Next, what you and I have to do is very clear."
Narrowing your eyes.
Zhong Lizhan said in a deep voice: "That is, convince all the city lords to form an alliance of princes specifically targeting the royal family. In addition to joining forces vertically and horizontally, they will then use the name of Qing Jun to attack Hudu in one fell swoop!"
As soon as these words came out.
Even though Xue Yuntian was not afraid of anything, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
