"As far as I know, Cangyun City is not mainly aimed at a heaven-level city, but a ground-level, so the 200,000-strong army is already his entire strength, so the current ground-level city of the Muhe Dynasty is an empty city. If we launch a surprise attack at this time, we will definitely be able to occupy this city in a very short time, and then take all the supplies in the city, leaving an empty shell for them, and without reserve resources, the 200,000 army will be defeated. ”

"It's just that at this juncture, it doesn't seem like it's okay to take the initiative to start a war?"

Bai Xing nodded and said, "It's really not good, I'm just giving a suggestion." But if you really want to raise 500,000 troops in two years, you have to go to war. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, I remember your suggestion, now you are responsible for recruiting troops first, and I will go to Yingtianwu Mansion." After a year, whether to rescue or attack is being discussed. ”

"City Lord, what's the matter with calling us over at this time?"

Shang Bai and Wan Sanqian suddenly came to the City Lord's Mansion, and after seeing Zhang Zhao, the two of them quickly stepped forward and greeted them.

"Oh, you two, please take a seat. ”

Arranged for the two to be seated, Zhang Zhao asked: "It's about to be the opening time of Ying Tianwu Mansion, it's the first time I've encountered this, and I hope the two of you can give some advice." ”

"Ying Tianwu Mansion ......."

Shang Bai tightly locked his brows, and then said: "The previous quotas were all set internally, what do you want to do this time?"

"Guilty?"

Zhang Zhaozhen admired the corruption of the previous city lord very much, he was a city lord here, but he really took advantage of everything, and even the quota for entering Ying Tianwu Mansion had to be profitable.

"Since it was predetermined in the past, then this year there will be a fair and just one. ”

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhao said: "In this way, we will divide the number of people who want to participate into three categories. The other cities are in the same category as the knights. The children of the major families in the city are one category, and the major sects are one category, which is divided into three occasions and conducts martial arts competitions. The top ten in each category are eligible to enter the Ying Tianwu Mansion, and all the Demon Emperor Red Gold obtained in it must be handed over unconditionally, what do you think?"

As soon as he heard this, Shang Bai's face became hesitant.

The first few times it was an internal decision, so he could send one person to participate every time, and this time it will naturally be no exception.

It's just that when he just wanted to open his mouth to ask Zhang Zhao for privileges, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

I thought to myself that this merchant's son is not inferior to others, why do you have to be privileged every time?

Moreover, this Ying Tianwu Mansion is not something else, anyone can enter it. There are all strong men born after countless life-and-death battles, and there are as many as a cloud. Coupled with the anger inside, it can disturb people's minds, and if the children of the merchants don't have any strength, then going in is equivalent to death.

Over the years, countless children of the big family have died in Ying Tianwu Mansion, and one of his nephews died there.

"I don't have any opinion, what about you, Master Wan?"

Wan San Qianyi frowned, and said slowly: "If you hand over the Demon Emperor Red Gold for free, I don't think it's appropriate." You see how this is, I paid out of my own pocket to buy back those Demon Emperor Red Gold at half price, and the other half, we can fill it up to the cultivators through taxes or other aspects, so that everyone is motivated, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that some people will not pick it up when they see the Demon Emperor Red Gold. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhao immediately nodded and said, "This is indeed a good way, okay, then according to what the three thousand brothers said." ”

The next morning, as soon as the sun had barely passed the treetops, more than thirty cultivators gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Since the quota was all reserved before, there were not many people who came, and even if they came here, they had the attitude of giving it a try.

Seeing this group of vigorous cultivators, Zhang Zhao said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, this year, I, Zhang Zhao, am the city lord, if nothing else, just for the word fairness. After yesterday's deliberations, I and several patriarchs unanimously decided that the quota would be decided by a competition. Jianghu knights, a group of people from the outer city, a group of people from the city, a group of people from various sects, a group of martial arts competitions, and the top ten winners in each group will have the qualification to go to Yingtianwu Mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present were overjoyed, some people had been practicing hard for many years for Ying Tianwu Mansion, waiting for this opportunity, and some people even if they survived the age of thirty, they didn't see any changes in decision-making, but today, the decision has finally changed, as long as it is a person, there is a chance, but the premise is that you have to get the top ten in the competition.

"Let's sign up, after signing up, go back and inform your friends, your family, let them all come to register, three days later, the competition officially begins. ”

Zhang Zhao arranged for Liang Jing to sign up, and when she came out with paper, pen and ink, all the cultivators consciously lined up, and there was no such swarming scene.

"City Lord, what should you do then?"

Shang Bai knew that Zhang Zhao's age was not very old, definitely not more than thirty years old, so he was curious, he had arranged all the places, so what should he do?

At this time, I saw Zhang Zhao grinning and said lightly: "I am both a city man and a disciple of the sect, I can do anything, and the competition is it." ”

"Haha, this time I can finally see the majesty of the city lord, I didn't come to see you on the second day of your wedding last time, it's really my biggest regret. ”

In fact, not only Shang Bai, but also many family members want to see with their own eyes what this Zhang Zhao is capable of, he can kill the evil sword immortal, let the deep-rooted Wanhua Sect change its name to Ziyang, and the sect's regulations have also been changed.

He is now both the city lord of Rongchang City and the man of the head of the Ziyang Sect, so what is the strength of such a famous person?

Hearing what Shang Bai said, Zhang Zhao grinned and said, "I'll try my best to let the seniors see it, I hope the opponents can last a little longer." ”

"Report!"

At this time, a herald soldier ran over, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "Report to the city lord, the battle report has come from Langxin, and the 30,000 troops and workers have arrived in the desert and are starting to plant greenery." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Well, I know, let's get busy." ”

"So, what kind of dragon battle does Langxin and Chen Yang have, you should all be about the same age, right?

Zhang Zhaoyi frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "No, Langxin and Long Zhan are over thirty years old, and only me and Chen Yang are qualified. ”
