When these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar. Even the Lord of Blackstone City, Zhou Yang, looked at Zhou Jin in astonishment. Joining the "Scale Shark Guard" in Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory was actually to be a hostage, and the heirs of various families in Blackstone City were going. Being a hostage can certainly show your sincerity. With such a relationship, Northern Blue Harbor and the Five Cities Alliance are one and the same. If the black-blooded yellow sand horse thieves invade, the other party will definitely support them. Moreover, the strength of the alliance between the two parties is far greater than that of the black-blooded yellow sand horse thieves. The other party will definitely not act rashly. "What's the point of being a master here and serving as a soldier over there!" someone shouted from below. It¡¯s not just this one person shouting below, everyone is talking to each other, and the meeting hall is a mess. "My father had already rejected the proposal of Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory. Why do you want to send it to my door again? You are fooling around. There is a great foundation here waiting for you to inherit. What are you doing there?" Don't talk about others, even Blackstone City Lord Zhou Yang I don't agree with Zhou Jin's approach. "Father, what I say next is not only to explain to everyone, but also to explain to you!" Zhou Jin said with a smile, then turned to everyone, raised his voice and said: "Everyone, the land of five cities is too small, each family's When young people grow up here, their vision will only be limited to the scope of five cities, or even one city. What future and development can such people have? If this continues, our league will be full of people with narrow vision. , our alliance has become less and less developed. Even if Northern Blue Harbor does not annex us, we can only follow behind him and be an unknown follower." The hall became quiet again, and only Zhou Jin's voice was heard echoing. , everyone was thoughtful, and Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, nodded repeatedly, because this Meng Xu was the best in the Five Cities Alliance and had made a name for himself. "Don't we just want to be afraid of horse thieves and follow Beiyu Blue Harbor every day? Don't we want horse thieves to be afraid of us? Don't we want to surpass Beiyu Blue Harbor? Then why don't we let our young people go to Beiyu Blue Harbor to meet us? To see the world and go to the "Scale Shark Guard" to train and make a career, are we willing to lag behind others and follow behind others?" Zhou Jin said in an impassioned tone. When he said these words, Zhou Jin couldn't help but think on his behalf, people must strengthen themselves, people cannot be willing to be weak, and people cannot follow others! After Zhou Jin finished speaking, the meeting hall was solemn. Everyone in the meeting hall looked at each other and exchanged opinions with their eyes. Everyone's movements were very consistent, they were all nodding, and they were all agreeing with what Zhou Jin said. "Brother Zhou is right. Our Five Cities Alliance can't always sit in a well and watch the sky. Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory brings together strong men from all over. If they train and work there, they will surely improve quickly!" It was Zheng Douluo from the Zheng family who echoed Zhou Jin's words. . This Zheng Douluo is young and energetic. He was unconvinced and provocative before, but now he was so excited by Zhou Jin's words that he shouted loudly. Although other people were more calm than Zheng Douluo, they also agreed very much with Zhou Jin's words. As for the leading figures in the hall, they appreciated Zhou Jin's words even more. The Lord of Chiyan City, Chi Ganglie, said to Zhou Jin who was sitting in the middle Said: "Old Zhou, how did you raise your son? He is so amazing. I originally thought that Wen Tiannian had some abilities, but now it seems that he is not as good as this kid of yours!" Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Jin's back with a smile on his face. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I don't know how to raise this kid in my family to have such great ambitions. The Five Cities Alliance is too small for him!" Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family next to him, had a full face. With a look of admiration, she whispered: "Xinxin, you have chosen the right person. With a talent like Zhou Jin, not only the Zhou family will be carried forward in the future, but our Meng family will also grow stronger!" Meng Xinxin, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, did not even hear it. The girl stared at Zhou Jin with her eyes as if she couldn't get enough of the Meng family ancestor's words. However, the head of the Meng family, Meng Zongyuan, who had just arrived, heard this and nodded in agreement. His face was also full of joy. His daughter had such a good home, and his son was a good friend of Zhou Jin. The Meng family had Of course he would be happy if there was a lot of profit. When the Qiu family father and son saw the energetic and impassioned Zhou Jin, both of them were speechless for a moment. In the past two days, they sometimes felt that they could clearly see the gap between themselves and Zhou Jin, but the next moment they would find that they were far away from Zhou Jin. Go further. After being silent for a while, Qiu Wenwei suddenly said in a deep voice: "Father, I want to go to the "Scale Shark Guard" in Blueport, Northern Territory!" Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family, nodded slowly and said, "We should go!" "We should go!" The Five Cities Alliance is self-contained and closed to the outside world. It seems that it has maintained its independence, but in fact it has maintained its backwardness. It is further and further left behind by the outside world. To take the initiative to form an alliance and communicate with the Northern Territory Lineport is to open up our own situation and let others Let's speed up and catch up!" Zhou Jin said loudly, concluding his words in the meeting hall. It¡¯s a coincidence that the wordsAs soon as they fell, warriors from the Zhou family ran in from outside and reported: "Master, the team sent to Brownfield City has been sent back, and the heads of the four major families in Brownfield City have also followed." Hearing this report , there was another commotion in the meeting hall, and everyone's face was filled with joy, because this news meant that the situation in Brown Soil City had stabilized. In the Five-City Alliance, except for the insignificant Huangsha City, which was occupied by horse thieves, the other four cities could still Be one with each other. As long as the situation in these four cities is maintained, nothing will change much from before. At this moment, it can be said that the dust has settled and everything is a foregone conclusion. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Jin retreated behind Zhou Yang's seat, bent down and said: "Father, now Yutucheng and Brown Soil There is no city lord in the city, so I think the Jade City should be handed over to the Meng family, and our elders should be the city lords of the Brown Soil City." Zhou Yang, the Lord of Blackstone City, was stunned, and turned to ask Zhou Jin, "Jade City is the first. Dacheng, don¡¯t our family want it?¡± ¡°Father, Blackstone City is not much smaller than Jade City. Our family has been running it for so long. It is the foundation of our Zhou family. It must be controlled by you personally. The Meng family now belongs to our family. Brothers and allies, we, the Zhou family, have contributed so much in this raid. We, the Zhou family, should repay the favor. On the side of Brown Soil City, our Zhou family must make great efforts to firmly control the two cities of Black Rock and Brown Soil. Jade Earth City is an ally. The Meng family, the Lord of Chiyan City is my father¡¯s friend, so my father can control the Five Cities Alliance!¡± Zhou Jin said in a low voice. Zhou Yang was silent for a while, then said to Zhou Jin with a smile: "As a father, I think it is more appropriate for you to be the city lord!" "Father, you are young and powerful, and you still have control over the Five Cities Alliance for at least several decades. How can you say this? What's going on!" Zhou Jin responded quickly. In fact, one of the reasons why Zhou Jin made up his mind to join the "Scale Shark Guards" in Blueport, Northern Territory was that he did not want to affect Zhou Yang's prestige. Zhou Jin knew that he had performed brilliantly during this period and had made great achievements. After making wise decisions one after another, the Zhou family has forgotten the existence of Ming Zhao, and has become more and more accustomed to obeying his orders and judgments. Even Black Rock City has this trend, not to mention Black Rock City and the Zhou family, today With this behavior in the Yutucheng meeting hall, I am afraid that the same situation will occur here in Yutucheng. "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters among the people. If this trend continues, there will definitely be chaos within the Zhou family and Blackstone City. Even if they have no intention of fighting for power, the people below will do it for various purposes. When he followed Yuntianzong in the world, he saw how many great forces were completely destroyed due to unclear authority and internal struggles for power. Zhou Jin had become more and more identified with Zhou Yang as his father. He didn't want to cause any trouble when Zhou Yang's grand plan was in full swing. Necessary trouble comes. Some words don¡¯t need to be said clearly, but smart people understand. Zhou Yang took a deep look at Zhou Jin, shook his head and said: "You are my biological son, but you are so related to me. Originally, my father wanted to sit in Jade City. , Blackstone City is left to you to take care of, but with your ambition, Blackstone City and the Five Cities Alliance are too small for you, go to Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory!" After saying this, Zhou Yang directed towards Zhou Jin! He nodded, and then said loudly to everyone in the meeting hall: "Wen Tiannian colluded with foreign traitors, and he deserves it. However, the position of alliance leader cannot be left vacant. Who do you think is suitable for this position?" "City Lord Zhou is suitable!" "No, no, Alliance Leader Zhou is the one everyone expects. "Who is suitable?" The city lord Zhou Yang was just being polite to everyone. He raided Jade City last night and killed Wen Tiannian. Today he took control of Brown Soil City without any blood. Among the five cities in the alliance now, except Zhou Yang No one is qualified to be the leader of this alliance. Since no one had any objections, Zhou Yang directly assumed the position of leader of the Five Cities Alliance. In the meeting hall, the heads of the aristocratic families of Jade Earth City, Brown Soil City, and Black Rock City, as well as Chi Ganglie, the lord of Chiyan City, all paid homage to Zhou Yang. Yang surrender. After taking office as the leader of the alliance, City Lord Zhou Yang, no, alliance leader Zhou Yang began to issue orders: "Brother Meng Zongyuan and Mo have made great contributions this time. Now that the position of Lord of Yutu City is vacant, Brother Meng is very suitable. I appoint Brother Meng." Become the Lord of Yutu City! " According to the rules, the position of City Lord should be determined by martial arts, but now no one dares to disobey Zhou Yang's orders, and the Meng family is completely superior to the Zheng family and Zhang family in Yutu City. Meng The ancestor of the family, Meng Xu, steadily suppressed the others. As soon as Zhou Yang issued this order, Meng Zongyuan, Meng Xu, and Meng Xinxin were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned red with excitement. No one expected that after one night, the Meng family would become the lord of the city, with great status and strength. All leap forward instantly! The head of the Meng family, Meng Zongyuan, strode into the hall. After bowing, he said excitedly: "Thank you very much for your support, the leader. Everyone in the Meng family will definitely be loyal to the leader!" Zhou Zhiqiang is in charge."?? said the second appointment. Several major families in Brownfield City all made their fortunes in farming and commerce, and their military force was not very strong. They did not dare to have the slightest objection to this appointment. Elder Zhou Zhiqiang is the youngest among the elders of the Zhou family. He is very similar to Zhou Yang in his work. They are both upright and strict. He was also at the forefront of the attack on Jade City this time. He did not expect this appointment at all. He sat there stunned for a long time before he realized it. , stood up in excitement and knelt down to thank him. "From now on, Blackstone City will be the city where the leader of the alliance resides, and I will also lead the leader of Blackstone City." After Zhou Yang said this, everyone understood that the Zhou family's position in the Five Cities Alliance was completely stable. The Zhou family controlled two cities by itself. The family's allies control the two cities and have no power to oppose him. Everyone also saw the conversation between Zhou Yang and Zhou Jin before making these decisions. Everyone felt that Zhou Jin made these arrangements. The Meng family and Zhou Zhiqiang both looked at Zhou Jin with grateful eyes. The father and son of the Qiu family, who were also in the hall, had calm expressions, but they could not hide the disappointment in their eyes. They came to attack Yutu City as a sacrifice, and they should not expect anything extravagantly. They were lucky to be safe in the future, but Seeing that the Meng family got Jade City and the Zhou family got Brown Soil City, but their own family got nothing, I felt a little disappointed. At this time, alliance leader Zhou Yang turned to the Qiu family and his son, and said in a deep voice: "The Qiu family has contributed a lot this time. Let's wipe out all the mistakes we made in the past. Let's do a good job in Black Rock City!" Speaking of these words, the Qiu family and his son said Looking at each other, they realized one thing. The Qiu family has done so many cruel and sinister things behind their backs and openly. If the Zhou family wants to pursue the case, the Qiu family will disappear and nothing will be left. Now the alliance leader Zhou Yang In this way, it gives the Qiu family a chance to start over. Moreover, the Meng family is about to move into Jade City, and Blackstone City has changed from three families to two, which will give the Qiu family more space. After Zhou Yang becomes the city lord, there are still many places where people are needed to work. If you work hard, there will be more people in the future. The future is still bright! Thinking of this, the depression of the Qiu family and his son was swept away. At the same time, they were moved in their hearts. They had done so much behind their backs, but the other party still had many adults to help them start over. After thinking about this, the Qiu family and his son also stood up and asked Zhou. Yang Shili. After saluting the alliance leader Zhou Yang, the Qiu family father and son stood up, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and saluted Zhou Jin again. Qiu Zhenggang said, "My father and son would like to thank Young Master Zhou for your grace, and thank Young Master Zhou for giving us father and son this opportunity!" When everyone saw this scene, they were stunned at first, and then felt that it was natural. The treatment that alliance leader Zhou Yang could give to the Qiu family must be related to Zhou Jin's words. After all this was done, everything settled. The head of the family, Meng Zongyuan, and the Meng family warriors he brought this time stayed behind. Meng family ancestors Meng Xu and Meng Xinxin returned to Black Rock City to move the entire Meng family here. Since Blackstone City was decided to be the alliance leader's future residence, the Zhou family's forces did not stay in Jade City for long. After the Meng family's forces were concentrated in Yut City, the alliance leader Zhou Yang gave one-third of the Zhou family's warriors to Zhou Zhiqiang. , and then led everyone back to Black Rock City. Zhou Jin didn¡¯t have a day to spare these days. He helped allocate forces and swapped the warriors from the Yutucheng aristocratic family and the Brown Soil City aristocratic family so that Zhou Yang could rule these four cities more effectively. By the time the Zhou family left Yutucheng, the alliance leader Zhou Yang's control over the four cities had been completely consolidated. The Four Cities Alliance sent messengers to Northern Territory Blue Harbor to express their willingness to form an alliance, and offered that their children would join Northern Territory Blue Harbor. Hong Kong¡¯s ¡°Scale Shark Guards¡±. From the decision to raid Jade City, to the fierce battle in the alliance leader's mansion, to the stabilization of the hearts of the people in Jade City, and the capture of Brown Soil City without a single blow, then arrangements were made to distribute forces, repay the Meng family's loyalty, gather the centers of each family, and work hard, even though There was a breakthrough in realm, but there was no rest, not even sleep. Because Zhou Jin knew that the black-blooded and yellow-sand horse thieves were watching, and if the situation of the Five Cities Alliance was not firmly determined as soon as possible, the enemy would take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. Zhou Jin, who had not gotten any rest, did not ride a horse on the way back, but asked for a carriage alone. No one said anything about this behavior, because everyone saw his tiredness, and everyone was more and more amazed by Zhou Jin's talent. The young master of the Zhou family not only made rapid progress in martial arts and was unparalleled in resourcefulness, but he was also so proficient in handling government affairs. The heads of the five cities and their families had been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. They thought they were superior in politics and could compare with Zhou Jin. Just like the gap between children and adults, the gap is even more than that. Sitting in the swaying carriage, Zhou Jin began to relax his body. Even if a warrior practices, he cannot tighten himself endlessly. This will not only fail to improve his cultivation, but will damage his body. The body is relaxing, but the mind is not. Zhou Jin is sorting out his thoughts. He is leaving the Five Cities Alliance to join the "Scale Shark Guards" in Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory. Of course, it is not for the sake of adventure and experience. Back then,Following Yuntianzong, he wandered around the world, traveled all over the world, and experienced countless ups and downs, and even went to Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory. As for the fact that my prestige is too high now, it will affect Zhou Yang's status as alliance leader and cause chaos within the Zhou family and the Five Cities Alliance. Although this is the reason, it is not the most important one. Zhou Jin clearly remembered what Ming Zhao said to the "Lord" in the pine forest. Even if the "Lord" had something to do with the siege of Yuntian, he at least knew the inside story of that siege. Ming Zhao who sneaked into the Zhou family was Sent by the "Lord". It has something to do with the siege and killing of Yun Tianzong, which means the siege and killing of himself. It also has something to do with the blood feud in the previous life. He sent people to harm the Zhou family and wanted to usurp the Zhou family's foundation. That means he is incompatible with himself in this life. Such a person Staying near Black Rock City would make it impossible for the Zhou family to have a day of peace, and he would never tolerate it. The blood feud in that life and the threats in this life made Zhou Jin unable to just sit back and wait! Although Zhou Jin never saw the appearance of the "Lord" in the pine forest, Zhou Jin still learned a lot of information from their conversation. This "Lord" is in Blueport, Northern Territory. Judging from the fact that he can often see "Sky Thunder Killing Kill", this "Lord" has a very high status in Blueport, Northern Territory. He may even be one of the "Ten Elders" a member of. In addition, this "Lord" is extremely powerful. I didn't see him take action that time, but judging from the momentum and pressure exuded by this "Lord", he has surpassed Zhou Yang at this time. In other words, The realm of this "Lord" is very likely to have reached the peak of the "Metal Realm", and may even exceed it. Now Zhou Jin's martial arts realm continues to break through, but he is still too far away from the level of this "Lord" and is not an opponent at all. But from the words he heard in Songlin, Zhou Jin can know that "Heavenly Thunder Killing Slash" can Restrain this "Lord"! The sword "Sky Thunder Killing Slash" belongs to the commander of the "Scale Shark Guards", and the commander of the "Scale Shark Guards" is determined by a martial arts competition. As long as you join the "Scale Shark Guards", you will be the strongest among them. , you can become the leader, and you can get this "Heavenly Thunder Killing Slash". Not to mention, by joining the "Scale Shark Guard", you become a member of the Northern Territory Blue Harbor, which will be a lot more convenient when tracing the identity of the "Lord". Joining the Northern Territory Blue Harbor and joining the "Scale Shark Guards", in a sense, becomes the hostage of the Five Cities Alliance in the Northern Territory Blue Harbor. In exchange for the alliance between the Five Cities Alliance and the Northern Territory Blue Harbor, you can let your father The alliance leader's position is more secure, and he can trace the true identity of the "Lord", he can trace the truth behind the siege of Yun Tianzong, he can obtain the sword "Heavenly Thunder Killing Slash", and he can get rid of this hidden threat to the Zhou family Northern Blue Harbor told Zhou Jin that he had to go. There were too many reasons why he had to go! Zhou Jin fell into a deep sleep while thinking, and slept all the way back to Black Rock City. Only when he arrived in front of Zhou's house did someone wake him up. At this time, the Zhou family's attitude towards Zhou Jin was completely different from before. Everyone was in awe. Anyone who is careful can find one thing: who is related to this series of changes in the Zhou family! The Zhou family suddenly became powerful in Black Rock City. They formed an alliance with the Meng family, won the city lord competition, and raided Jade City after becoming the city lord. Now the Zhou family is the first family in the Five Cities Alliance, and the head of the family has become the leader! All of this started after the young master recovered from serious injuries and cheered up from decadence. A little inquiry will reveal that every major event in the Zhou family has the promotion and participation of young master Zhou Jin behind it. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ But Zhou Jin has made up his mind to keep a low profile and no longer show his face. On the one hand, he does not want to affect the prestige of the alliance leader Zhou Yang. On the other hand, Ming Zhao's disappearance may have attracted the attention of the "lord". If he is too high-profile, Maybe we can attract this great god. Moreover, during the raid on Jade City and the battle with the former leader Wen Tiannian, Zhou Jin made another breakthrough in martial arts when he was about to die. However, he was so busy these days that he had no time to observe carefully. You need to hurry up and study and practice. Although Black Rock City and the Five Cities Alliance are at peace, there are stronger and more terrifying enemies outside. Only by strengthening yourself can you deal with them. "Uncle Hu, I have to practice in seclusion, and all the guests who came to visit me have disappeared. I have to bother you, Uncle Hu, to protect the law these days!" Zhou Jin ordered. Uncle Hu did not participate in the raid on Jade City. He stayed behind in Black Rock City. After all, the Zhou family was full of powerful people and needed a reliable and loyal figure to stay behind. When Zhou Jin returned home, Uncle Hu was so excited that he burst into tears. He had already heard about it. Zhou Jin's performance in Jade City, Uncle Hubei has always been there to lament the prosperity of the Zhou family and the young master's bright future. The head of the Zhou family has become the leader of the five-city alliance, and Blackstone City has become the leader's home city. This is a great event for the Zhou family. The celebration is already being prepared. Everyone has heard about Zhou Jin's performance in Jade City, and they allKnowing that the alliance leader Zhou Yang trusted him, many people came to congratulate Zhou Yang and then wanted to meet Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin declined all these social interactions and wanted to concentrate on practicing martial arts. "Young Master, please rest assured, I will definitely protect you!" Uncle Huber agreed simply to Zhou Jin's instructions.
