Chapter 641: Threat
In the depths of the Zhao family's mansion in the inner city of Andy City, in a luxuriously decorated living room, Xu Ming Zhang Dapang and Zhao Hu and Zhao Kun sat opposite each other, chatting and enjoying the fragrant tea sent by the maid.
"City Lord Zhao, Your Majesty's order should have already reached your hands! I don't know what City Lord Zhao thinks about His Majesty's order? After chatting for a while, Xu Ming put down the fragrant tea in his hand, looked at Zhao Kun with a solemn expression, and asked softly.
Xu Ming's side children of the Xu family, and also the intermediary between the Xu family and the Zhao family, have earned a lot of wealth from the Zhao family in the past four years, and have a great impression of the Zhao family.
It's just that no matter how good Xu Ming has for the Zhao family, in the face of the family's orders and the orders of the Jade Kingdom, he does not have the slightest power to resist, and at this moment when the Zhao family's future is very fateful, he did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the Zhao family, stand on the side of the three major families and the royal family, and come to persuade the Zhao family to give up resistance, accept the conditions offered by the royal family, and hand over the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology.
"According to the laws of the empire, Your Majesty has no right to ask for the alchemy and metallurgical process in the hands of our Zhao family, and our Zhao family has no obligation to hand over the alchemy and metallurgical process of our Zhao family's foundation to the empire, so I am not ready to accept Your Majesty's order for our Zhao family to hand over the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology!" As soon as Xu Ming's voice fell, Zhao Kun put down the teacup in his hand and said with a calm face.
After four years of career as a city lord, Zhao Kun has begun to adapt to his identity, and he has made rapid progress in dealing with people and things, so he can take charge of himself and handle all the affairs of Andy City, and there is no need for the Zhao family to meddle in the political affairs of Andy City.
For Xu Ming, Zhao Kun didn't have much affection, and the tone of his speech was not very good, which made Xu Ming very unhappy, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"City Lord Zhao, your Zhao family has earned a huge amount of money with the help of advanced alchemy and metallurgical techniques, it's time to hand it over and share it with everyone, otherwise, with the strength of your Zhao family, you can't stop the suppression of the three major families and the royal family, and in the end, you can only leave the family with a ruined family!" Xu Ming, who was very unhappy in his heart, immediately put down his hypocritical disguise, looked at Zhao Kun with a look of resentment and threatened loudly.
In Xu Ming's eyes, under the suppression and attack of the three major families and the royal family, the Zhao family had no chance of victory at all, and in the end there was only one way to go, so he didn't have the slightest scruples when he spoke.
"Our Zhao family is not used to taking out good things to share with everyone, our Zhao family will not take out the alchemy and metallurgical process and hand it over to the royal family, it will be shared by the royal family and the three major families, so the city lord of Xu can leave here to recover his life!" Hearing Xu Ming's threatening voice, Zhao Kun's face changed slightly, and he scolded loudly.
After speaking, Zhao Kun clapped his palms, and the four elite guards entered the living room, picked up Xu Ming and Zhang Dapang and walked towards the outside of the living room.
"You will regret it, you will pay the price for this, your Zhao family dares to refuse the proposal of the royal family and the three major families, and it will definitely be exterminated by the royal family and the three major familiesγγγγ" Xu Ming, who was set up by the two elite guards, looked at Zhao Kun with anger on his face and threatened loudly.
"Xiaohu, the royal family and the three major families can't help but make a move against our Zhao family, how should we deal with it?" When Xu Ming and Zhang Dapang were escorted out, Zhao Kun turned his gaze to Zhao Hu, who was silent on the side, and asked softly.
After four years, Zhao Hu is already fourteen years old, and has become a young and handsome teenager, exuding the breath of youth all over his body, coupled with his long-term cultivation of the Nine Turns of Liuli Jue, his physical fitness is extremely strong, and his figure is also first-class, taking off his clothes, revealing his proud figure, can definitely make countless girls and young women scream.
"It's very simple, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu said with a calm face, not taking the threat of the royal family and the three major families to heart at all.
After four years of development, Andy City has a population of one million, 50,000 city guards and 20,000 guards, these 50,000 city guards and 20,000 guards, at least two years of rigorous training, strength and combat effectiveness are extremely strong, not at all comparable to those armies of the Emerald Country.
In a frontal battle, 50,000 city guards and 20,000 guards could definitely easily defeat the 500,000 imperial army, so Zhao Hu did not take the threat of the royal family and the three major families in his heart at all.
After all, it is difficult for the royal family and the three major families to send an army of 500,000 to attack Andy City. Of course, if the royal family and the three major families sent an army of 500,000 to attack Andy City, Zhao Hu would not mind expanding it on a large scale and expanding the army several times in a short period of time.
Hearing Zhao Hu's words, seeing the relaxed look on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Kun's heart was relieved, he secretly let go of the worries in his heart, and said with a smile: "You have always been in charge of the city guards and the guards. Since you have so much confidence in the city guards and guards, then I have nothing to worry about! β
After speaking, Zhao Kun left the living room, while Zhao Hu sat on the chair in the living room casually, bowing his head and pondering.
In the past four years, Zhao Hu had spent most of his time training the city guards and guards and planning the development of Andy City, and had devoted most of his time to the cultivation of the Nine Turns Glaze Technique and the learning and acceptance of Xiaoyun's infusion knowledge.
After four years, Zhao Hu's cultivation of the Circulating Glass Technique had reached a bottleneck, and in the absence of Heaven and Earth Vitality, it was difficult to make progress, so he could only devote most of his time to learning and receiving the knowledge infused by Xiaoyun.
At this time, Zhao Hu, although he was only fourteen years old, was very strong in terms of physical fitness and combat effectiveness, and he could completely take the enemy's head from the army of ten thousand and come and go freely among the millions of troops, which was also one of the reasons why Zhao Hu did not take the threat of the royal family and the three major families of the Jade Kingdom in his eyes.
"It's a bit boring to study every day, maybe it's time to use this knowledge to help my parents lay a big foundation!" Zhao Hu, who was deep in thought, suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and whispered to himself.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao family refuses to carry out His Majesty's orders, we must use some means to force the Zhao family to comply!" When the news of Xu Ming's failed persuasion reached the ears of Wang Tianyu, Xu Hao, and Li Hongtao, the three of them immediately found Long Kun and said loudly.
"Since the Zhao family has rejected my order, then, the Zhao family should not blame me for being ruthless! Pass my order to let the 1st and 2nd Standing Corps stationed in the Southeast Theater rush to Tianyu City and Tianhong City to put pressure on Andy City! Hearing the words of Wang Tianyu, Xu Hao, and Li Hongtao, Long Kun, who had already received the news, had already received the news, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered loudly.
There are only ten standing legions in the Emerald Country, each standing legion is 100,000 people, and there are only one million standing legions in total, in order to put pressure on the Zhao family, Long Kun used two standing legions of 200,000 troops at once, which is enough to see how much Long Kun attaches importance to the Zhao family.
"Your Majesty, our Wang family has a merchant group of 10,000 people in the southeast region, and I am ready to send this 10,000-person merchant group guard to Andy City to assist the first and second standing legions to put pressure on Andy City and the Zhao family, I hope Your Majesty can allow it!" As soon as Long Kun's voice fell, Wang Tianyu's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said loudly.
"Your Majesty, our Xu family also has a 10,000-person merchant group escort in the Southeast District, and I also want to send this 10,000-person merchant group escort to Andy City to assist the First and Second Standing Legions to put pressure on Andy City and the Zhao family, so that the Zhao family can accept the reality as soon as possible and hand over the alchemy and metallurgical processes, I hope Your Majesty can allow it!" As soon as Wang Tianyu's voice fell, Xu Hao hurriedly responded loudly.
"Your Majesty, our Li family has two merchant groups of 10,000 people in the southeast region, I want these two 10,000-person merchant group guards to be sent to Andy City to assist the first and second standing legions to put pressure on Andy City and the Zhao family, so that the Zhao family will surrender to Your Majesty as soon as possible and carry out Your Majesty's orders, I hope Your Majesty can allow it!" As soon as Xu Hao's voice fell, Li Hongtao hurriedly said loudly.
Hearing the words of Wang Tianyu, Xu Hao, and Li Hongtao, Long Kun immediately knew that the three of them wanted to send someone to monitor the First and Second Standing Legions, so as not to embezzle the Zhao family's industry and wealth, as well as the advanced alchemy and metallurgical technology, and his heart was unhappy for a while.
However, although he was very unhappy in his heart, due to the strength of the three major families, Long Kun still had to give in, and said softly: "Since the three of them are willing to serve the empire, of course I have no reason not to allow it!" However, as I said in the front, after the three of you merchant guards arrived near Andy City, they must accept the control of the first and second standing legions, and are not allowed to act privately, otherwise, these merchant guards will be exterminated by the standing legions, so don't come to me to complain. β
"Your Majesty, rest assured, our royal family's merchant group guards will definitely obey the orders of the First and Second Standing Legions unconditionally, and will not act privately!" As soon as Long Kun's voice fell, Wang Tianyu immediately said loudly.
He sent 10,000 merchant guards just to monitor the first and second standing legions, so as not to let the royal family occupy all the Zhao family's property and wealth, so he didn't mind that the merchant group guards were controlled by the first and second standing legions.
As soon as Wang Tianyu's voice fell, Xu Hao and Li Hongtao also expressed that the merchant group under their command was willing to accept the moderation of the Second and Second Standing Corps and obey the orders of the First and Second Standing Corps.
