Chapter 921: Retreat as Advance
Chapter 920: Retreat is the advance
Sure enough, as expected, the Lord of Filhan seemed to be eager to drive his team out of Filhan's territory; However, it can also be seen from the opposite side that the city lord of Filhan does not want to meet with him, he just does not want to see a fight in his territory, and he is also worried that his strength will affect his position as the city lord. After all, such a great force was three or four hours away from Philhan City, and if Zhou Chen really wanted to make a move, he didn't even have time to ask for help.
For a city lord, this idea is normal.
As long as the city lord of Philhan does not take the initiative to be an enemy of himself, Zhou Chen will not be embarrassed by him, not only because of his strength, but also for the promise of Joyna; Zhou Chen smiled indifferently, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "What else can this king plan, he doesn't plan to reclaim the land around the mine to ensure that everyone is not hungry, no matter how bad it is, he can only come to Filhan City to exchange the spar for food, and do some small business!" ”
"Huh"
Even though the lights in the main hall were not bright, Zhou Chen could still clearly see that the face of the city lord of Filhan was instantly gloomy.
"Prince, you have a large number of men, and they are stationed in the territory of my Philhan City, and even a hundred miles away from my Philhan City, this matter is really inappropriate!" The city lord of Philhan had a gloomy face and asked coldly: "And the lord of this city heard that the prince is about to raise the banner and become king, if this matter spreads, there will be someone in the territory of my Philhan City who has set himself up as the king, I am afraid it will not be easy to give an explanation to the heavenly city; The lord of the city is very optimistic about you, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of you, and he hopes that the prince will not cut off this son-in-law's affection. ”
The words of the city lord of Filhan were full of emotion, which made people not only feel the ease of the son-in-law, but also the helplessness in their hearts, but also the strong sense of threat; If Zhou Chen did not leave the territory of Philhan City, he would definitely meet each other.
"Father, although the prince has established himself as king in the territory of Philhan City, he has never thought of threatening his father. Nowadays, although the number of princes is large, the cultivation is too low, and the foundation is relatively weak; If you leave Philhan City and wander away, you may be chased by other city lords. Father, please give us some time, as long as it stabilizes, the prince ......"
Joyna saw that the city lord of Philhan was a little annoyed, for fear that the two of them would have a strong tone and break up unhappily, so she quickly stood up and spoke for Zhou Chen; But before Joyna finished speaking, Zhou Chen reached out and grabbed her and signaled her not to say anything more, Joyna looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled face, but she still stopped and sat down; Zhou Chen smiled slightly, looked at the city lord of Filhan, and said: "The concerns of the city lord This king understands, in fact, this king does not want to stay in the mine, the terrain of the mine is wide, even the mountains are extremely flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is indeed not a good place to garrison." It's just that the king's mine is there, where else can the king go? ”
Kindness!
The city lord of Philhan naturally heard the meaning of Zhou Chen's words, and it seemed that there was something in Zhou Chen's words, so he asked lightly: "The prince will tell me what he plans in his heart!" ”
"Okay."
Zhou Chen hurriedly replied, suddenly stood up from the chair, took the map handed by the magician, and walked towards the city lord of Filhan; The two guards guarding next to the city lord of Fairhan quickly stopped Zhou Chen, for fear that he would take the initiative against Fairhan City, Zhou Chen glanced at the two guards who rushed up, and said coldly: "If this king wants to do bad to Fairhan City, you two can't stop this king." ”
"Stand down."
The city lord of Filhan reprimanded, and the two guards hurriedly retreated.
Walking to the city lord of Philhan, Zhou Chen presented the map drawn by the heavenly evil, pointed to the outermost area in the southeast of Filhan City's territory and said, "City Lord, this king can leave the mine with his troops; However, the king wants to take this territory and replace the Xiyao mine that is close to this territory with the mine owned by this king. ”
"This place?"
The city lord of Filhan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Chen to make such a plan, he looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled face, and asked, "Prince, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
"Rocky Mountains."
"Now that you know that this is a rocky mountain range, you should know the situation here, this place is extremely dangerous, and bandits are rampant around. Although that land is the territory of the city lord, the city lord has sent troops to strangle him many times, but it has no effect, and even the soldiers have been defeated. Are you really decided? The city lord of Philhan asked with a suspicious face.
"Yes."
Zhou Chen nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Since the city lord said so, it can also be seen that the city lord cares about Joyna, and Aiwu and Wu don't want me to die; The Lord of the Castle knows who I really am, and I know my situation, and I must establish my own territory as soon as possible, and this is the best place, this move is indeed dangerous, but there is also a great opportunity. ”
"This city lord understands, Zhou Chen! In fact, the lord of this city is very optimistic about you, and Joyna has to follow you, so the lord of this city naturally does not want to see her suffer; It's just that you have a special identity, and you are pretending to be Prince Simon, this king really doesn't dare to protect you, I hope you can understand. The city lord of Filhan took a deep breath and said.
"With the words of the city lord, I am relieved."
Zhou Chen nodded solemnly, he had a little more affection for the city lord of Philhan, it seems that the city lord of Philhan is really fond of Joyna, as a father, he doesn't want to see his daughter sad and painful, but as the city lord, he wants to ensure the safety of the entire city, and he can't let Zhou Chen live here for a long time.
"One more thing."
The city lord of Philhan hesitated for a moment and said, "Be careful of the Black Armor Divine Order. ”
Kindness?
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he felt really right before, the city lord of Philhan and the Black Armor God Group did secretly collude, and the condition for collusion was himself. However, Zhou Chen can also understand that against the Schiller family, the strength of the city lord of Philhan is indeed invincible, and he united with the Black Armor God Regiment just to be able to win; There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world, Zhou Chen also understood this truth, and did not ask how the two colluded, nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you." ”
"This trip must be full of dangers, and the king is really powerless in terms of troops, but in terms of food, grass, and weapons, the lord of the city can provide it."
"Thank you, city lord."
"You and my son-in-law have a drink." The city lord of Filhan smiled slightly, and said with a wine glass.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and drank with the city lord of Filhan with a wine glass; Because the two were very close to each other, the voice was very low, outsiders didn't hear what the two talked about at all, only saw that the two were close, and they were puzzled, only Joyna was happy in her heart, which was exactly what she wanted to see.
A few days later, the engagement ceremony of Zhou Chen and Princess Joyna was held, and with the blessing of all the people, the two became husband and wife; At the same time, the Lord of Filhan City ordered someone to build a blade prepared for Zhou Chen, and the weapons were all excellent weapons, which could at least double the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
