In addition to these martial artists, the Sun family's own expenses? The cost of a super family should be astronomical when you think about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the conversation between the two did not directly answer Zhang Jincai's question just now, Zhang Jincai also understood. Because he and Sun Xiang thought of going together. After the two of them looked at each other, they both smiled knowingly.

Sun Xiang suddenly longed to go to the capital as soon as possible, and he found that Astor City was really too remote and too isolated, and he couldn't get any information about the capital of the Etulto Empire and the central city of the Etula Empire. Sun Ying and Sun Gang are both martial artists, and they should belong to the level of force in the family, and they don't know much about other things.

If he wants to ensure the longevity of the "blood supply" base of Astor City, he must understand the situation of the empire and get in touch with some powerful forces in the empire. "Behind closed doors" not only does it not work to ensure the stability of Astor City, but you may not even know how to die.

Sun Xiang's original plan for the second step was also to go to the capital, but his purpose at that time was to find a cultivation system for cultivating gods. However, after these two days, Sun Xiang's mind changed.

Astor City has become his "home", with the woman he loves, as well as the troika he recognizes. The troika is already his relatives. What's more, the "home" he built with his own hands has a bright future, which not only gives him a place to settle in this world, but also provides sufficient material support for his future cultivation. It is his duty to protect this "home" and lead this "home" to glory.

Therefore, he must go to the capital, expand his influence there, and get the support and recognition of those big people there. Only then can Astor City be truly safe.

In the evening of that day, Bai Liping wrote again. I don't know what the conspiracy of those foreign merchants is, they suddenly changed their attitude and handed over the few people who violated the curfew last night who were hiding in the Yuelai Inn. Today, there are more than 50 new businessmen, and they have already established an alliance with the 40 or so merchants yesterday, and are ready to attack the western suburbs tomorrow.

It was a rare quiet night in the western suburbs.

Early the next morning, Bai Liping wrote that those people had already departed, and last night Astor City was also calm.

Sun Xiang informed Sun Ying to gather all the guards in the western suburbs and come to the outside of the factory to wait for the arrival of the group.

Seeing more than 200 people walking towards the western suburbs from a distance, Sun Xiang showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth. If there are people in the Shenzhou Continent who are familiar with Sun Laoxi, they will definitely know that the evil laughing old evil must not be provoked.

When the group walked in front of Sun Xiang and the others, they automatically stopped. Three gorgeously dressed middle-aged people walked out of the crowd, and after first making a noble salute to Sun Xiang, they said politely: "I have met Lord Sun, we have no malice in coming today, we just want to talk to Zhang Jincai about cooperation." ”

Sun Xiang nodded as a return gift, and then said: "No need, Zhang Jincai has already talked to me yesterday, and all the products of the two of them will be distributed to our Sun family in the future, please go back." Then, he turned his head and said to the guards behind him: "Anyone who dares to break into the western suburbs will be killed, and the corpses will be hung outside the western suburbs." With that, he led Zhang Jincai to turn around and return to the western suburbs.

"Lord Sun! Lord Sun! ”

"Let's talk about it again!"

"Please stay, Lord Sun!"

No matter how the three people shouted, Sun Xiang and Zhang Jincai ignored them at all.

In the face of more than one hundred and fifty fierce warriors, those people really didn't dare to break into the western suburbs. Among these more than 150 people, in addition to the fifty warriors of the Sun family, there were also more than 100 guards from the Bai family and the Zhang family.

Over the next two days, Astor City was once again in disarray. During the day, there were many people looking for trouble on the streets of Astor City, and the garrison led by Chu Sen and Zhang Jinrui attacked everywhere and arrested many people; In the evening, violators of the curfew began to appear again, leaving the garrison without rest.

Fortunately, the number of garrisons in the city of Astor was not five hundred, but fifteen hundred. Among them, 500 people were Yu Qingyuan's original troops, and 700 people were the number of the Sen Wolf Mercenary Group led by Chu Sen. During this time, Chu Sen recruited some old friends, so that the number of garrisons reached 1,500 people.

Among these 1,500 people, only Yu Qingyuan's original 500 people enjoyed the salary of the imperial military, and they were also recognized by the imperial military. The salaries of the remaining 1,000 people were all paid by the two families of the Bai Zhang family, and in fact, they were only recognized by Lord Sun. However, in this remote place, it is enough for Lord Sun to admit it, because Lord Sun has the secret edict of His Majesty the Emperor in his hands.

In fact, if it weren't for the Bai Zhang family's ability to provide for them, with Chu Sen's appeal in the mercenary world, he would have no problem recruiting another thousand people.

The Etullae Empire was now in peacetime, and the supply of the army was strictly controlled within a certain amount. It is not easy for those mercenaries to become soldiers of the Empire. Therefore, it is also a good place for them to become a garrison recognized by Lord Sun, and the most important thing is that they are treated the same as those garrisons recognized by the imperial military.

It may also be that the number of garrisons in Astor City was beyond those people's expectations, so although the two days were chaotic, they were suppressed by the garrison.

Most of those captured were mercenaries and adventurers in Astor City and surrounding cities, and a few were warriors brought by merchants. According to the mercenaries, someone secretly paid them to do so, and promised that they would be acquitted in the future.

Although the chaos of these two days was suppressed, it still had an impact on Astor City. The biggest impact was the reconstruction of Astor City. Some of the timid residents of Astor City, who had been involved in the reconstruction of Astor City, began to cower at home and did not dare to come out, and only some of them continued the reconstruction work, which greatly affected the progress of the reconstruction.

Except inside the city of Aste. In the past two nights, the number of people trying to infiltrate the western suburbs has also begun to increase. Sun Xiang had no choice but to change his work and rest time, sleeping during the day and being on duty at night. Because his divine sense is very powerful, he can detect infiltrators in a more timely manner.

It was also thanks to Sun Xiang's divine sense help. On two nights, nearly 100 people were killed and arrested in the western suburbs. Now, the bodies of nearly 100 people are hanging in the western suburbs, which is very eye-catching.

Faced with this situation, except for Sun Xiang, those high-level personnel in Astor City were anxious and helpless. However, they found that the smile on the corner of Sun Xiang's mouth was getting stronger and stronger, and it was very evil.

On the morning of the fifth day, more than 20 people were arrested by the garrison for causing trouble in the streets. Now, the garrison has captured more than 500 people, all of whom are locked up in the garrison camp in the southeast corner of Astor City.

In the past few days, some merchants from other places have come one after another, and the total number of these merchants and their guards has reached more than 400 people, all of whom live in the Yuelai Inn, and they are almost full of them.

In the afternoon, the situation changed, and Sun Lihai, the second grandfather of the Sun family, came to Astor City with a team of 100 people.

Among these hundred and ten people, except for thirty who wore the costumes of the Sun family, the others were dressed differently and obviously came from different forces. And nine of them are even more noble, showing their aristocratic nature in their gestures. The other warriors were obviously the guards of these nine people.

The arrival of these people made the merchants gathered at the Yuelai Inn look nervous and depressed.

Astor City is back to calm.

Sun Gang, who got the news, immediately rushed to the gate of the city, and after respectfully saluting Sun Lihai, he led the group directly to the western suburbs.

Sun Xiang was woken up from his sleep, and when he came to the living room, he saw the second master of the Sun family and nine people sitting there, talking and laughing easily. Behind them, there were two martial artists standing in each, their strength was obviously stronger than Sun Ying and Sun Gang, and they were also swordsmen-level cultivators.

Seeing Sun Xiang come in with sleepy eyes, the second master of the Sun family was obviously stunned, and then said with a smile: "Come, Xiangzi, I'll introduce you." ”

Under the introduction of the second master of the Sun family, Sun Xiang learned that the nine people were from different business alliances. Although Sun Xiang did not deliberately remember the names of these business alliances, he only knew about it through the introduction of the second master of the Sun family. Counting the Sun family's financial resources business alliances, these business alliances are the top ten business alliances in the Etullai Empire.

After Sun Xiang saw the salute one by one, he turned his head and asked the second master of the Sun family: "Second uncle, which of these business alliances belong to the Yu family and the Zhao family?" ”

The second master of the Sun family was stunned again, and he asked puzzledly: "Are you talking about the Yu family and the Zhao family in the capital?" ”

Sun Xiang nodded.

The second master of the Sun family said suspiciously: "The history of those two families is too short, and their business alliance is not in the top ten. Why do they do it, you ask? ”

Sun Xiang said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's just curiosity." By the way, second uncle, why did you come here? ”

Sun Lihai was even more confused, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone is fine, and we don't often come to the eastern part of the empire, so we came from Cox City all the way to the mountains and rivers, and we walked before and after for ten days. What's wrong? ”

"You arrived in Cox City ten days ago?"

"That's right."

Sun Xiang was also a little confused. He sent a letter to the Sun family asking for help five days ago, and Sun Lihai had already set off by then. Isn't Sun Lihai a reinforcement sent by the old man?

So, he hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, you must have come to discuss cooperation, right?" ”
