Zhirong, who thought that he would fall to the ground and be trampled by the horse, suddenly felt a flash of silver light, and then he sat on the body of the wolf king, and the thick fur with silver brilliance ran warmly with Zhirong towards the light of the sun.

The sound of a horn sounded on the right side, and then the same loud sound came from the left side, Sheng Hongyu and Jiang Cheng successfully captured the gates on both sides of the Golden State Mansion, and black smoke rose from inside the state capital, which meant that Shen Heng in the city was also going very smoothly.

Zhirong raised the sword in his hand, and those beasts and ice wolves had already climbed the city wall and began to pounce on the soldiers on the city wall, fierce and merciless biting and howling in the sky resounded throughout the Golden State Capital. The people of the city watched with trepidation as the procession carrying white banners embroidered with black swords rushed in through the gates on the left and right.

Cao Zhen had already disappeared at this time, and Zhirong summoned Jin Shi: "Stop the people who went out to deliver the letter in the Golden State!" In addition, bring another 3,000 soldiers to chase Cao Zhen! "Although Cao Zhen escaped, he would definitely write to the imperial court to ask for support, now that the evil spirit city is rising, it is not the time to experience war, and the news of the capture of the Golden State cannot be known to the imperial court for the time being.

The main gate was opened, and the Shen family soldiers in the city cheered to greet Zhirong, and they looked at Zhirong sitting on the wolf king, as if he was looking at the gods, and knelt on the ground and shouted: "The Lord is mighty!" Long live the Commander-in-Chief! ”

Lord? Zhirong was shocked, and being called the master can be the head of a family, the lord of a city, or a prince and general, but he is called the lord as long as he is in power. She never wanted to be in such a position. However, Shen Jiajun's cheers were higher and higher, and she couldn't say anything at this time.

All the soldiers in the Golden State have been arrested, and the people of the city are shivering on both sides of the street. Zhirong ordered all the prisoners of war to be locked up. And to persuade her to surrender, if it can be used by her, it is naturally better than killing.

And the name of the Golden State is really not wrong. Both the main street and the alleyway are gorgeous, and there are all kinds of shops in the city. If you don't see those scrawny low-level people, you really feel that this place is prosperous.

There were also many large families in the city, most of whom were the officers and soldiers who had escorted the exiled prisoners and settled here. They were only the lowest soldiers in Jingtang, but they could be powerful in the Golden State. Most of the brothels here are exiled prisoners and deserters.

All the men over the age of ten went to pan for gold, and some children and old people died because they could not stand the torture and thus became food for the wild beasts in the neighborhood. However, what shocked Zhirong even more was that some young and middle-aged prisoners were taken to the Dongyue grassland.

This is very strange, the Dongyue grassland is not owned by Jingtang, but an independent area. This Cao Zhen pressed the strong man to work as a coolie, and there must be an ulterior secret in it.

It was a very troublesome task to arrange for the people in the city, because these large families had been living in the city for many years. Collusion with mutual interests, moving one family is moving all the big households, and each household has hundreds or thousands of private troops, although they are detained by Zhirong, but their mansions are also strictly guarded.

"Lord, the heads of several big families in the city want to see you." Sheng Hongyu came over to pray, and then said: "Lord, if you want to expand the great cause in the future, the big families in this golden city may be your reliance, and those thin people are useless. ”

Zhirong gave her a strange look. Sheng Hongyu hurriedly lowered her head, she felt that there seemed to be a cold light in Zhirong's eyes, Bai Zhirong would not have this kind of look in the past.

"Let them in." Zhirong sat upright on Cao Zhen's golden chair, with the fur of the Ice Fox under him. It was very warm.

The inhabitants of several major families stepped in one after another, their heads held high, their faces full of disdain and contempt. I don't take Zhirong as a thing at all. After coming in, a group of people not only did not salute Zhirong, but chatted with each other. Clearly a provocation.

When they came, they expected that Zhirong would not dare to kill these big families, otherwise the commercial chain of this golden city would be broken. The Golden City is no longer a sweet and sweet city, but a dead city. Is their inheritance here for many years comparable to that of others?

In the face of such a group of people, Zhirong didn't speak, drank hot tea by herself, picked up an embroidery look and began to embroider. Be more patient with her? Hmph, what she has is patience.

Embroidering stitch by stitch, thinking about her embroidery through the clouds, Zhirong's technique began to slowly become familiar with a little unfamiliar, she embroidered a snowy ice field at night, and a group of silver wolves as tall as a horse roared at the bright moon in the night sky.

She embroidered so intently, those big families couldn't bear it, one of the old men with a fierce face coughed a few times, but Zhirong still ignored it and focused on embroidery. The big families wanted to sit, but there were no seats for them in the hall, and they were thirsty and had no tea. I could only watch Zhirong embroider in that high position.

"Commander Bai, although you have captured the Golden City, you can't help but ignore us too much!" After an hour of waiting, these people finally couldn't stand Zhirong's cold treatment. The head of the largest family in the city was the first to speak.

Listening to the cold words, Zhirong only felt funny, these people were pretentious, thinking that this golden city would not be able to operate without them? Jokes, as long as there are people, there is nothing that cannot be done, and the most important thing in this city is gold and manpower. She remained silent to see what else the men were trying to do.

"Commander Bai, we came here this time to sign a golden agreement with you to be the city lord, if you still treat us like this, then the position of the city lord will not be able to sit firmly." The old man's tone had become angry at this time.

At this time, another middle-aged man stood up and said sharply: "Cao Zhen in the past wants to accept our agreement and share the glory with us." Our major families not only have private troops in the city, but also other state capitals, do you think that if you occupy this city, this city will really be yours? This northern border is up to our families, even the general state capital has to give us a few points, what is a poor place like Evil Spirit City? ”

Zhirong stretched his waist and rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the various family heads below one by one. It turns out that these people are so arrogant because they think they have bargaining chips. It turned out that the city lords of the various state capitals in the north were all such a wretch, and Cao Zhen had soldiers who had to sign an agreement with these people.

"Are you hungry?" Zhirong asked indifferently a completely inappropriate sentence. Then he touched his stomach: "I'm a little hungry." ”

The heads of several families looked at each other, completely unaware of what she meant. But. After standing for an hour, I was indeed tired, thirsty, and hungry. The old master's angry eyes seemed to bubble up: "If Commander Bai signs an agreement, we will have our own good wine and good meat to treat each other!" ”

"Old master. What shall you do if I do not let you go? Zhirong asked with a smile.

"Our private army will riot. At that time, there will be unrest in the city, each of our families has gunpowder hidden, all under the Golden City, you can't find it at all, at that time the Golden City is in ruins, even if you take it, it's useless! The old man's voice was heavy, threatening.

Zhirong looked at them appreciatively and clapped his hands: "Ruthless enough, that's why we can survive here!" ”

Zhirong stood up and swept her sharp gaze over everyone, "Let me ask you again if you're hungry?" ”

"The old man is not hungry!" The leading old master really couldn't stand Zhirong's arrogance. He thought that Zhirong would sign the agreement obediently, but he didn't expect to treat them like this, even if his stomach was rumbling, he said that he was not hungry, and Zuo was just a meal.

Sneered. Zhirong said slowly: "In the past, the Golden State was also a major grain-producing state, but later it was found that it was rich in gold, so it was all panning for gold. The good land has become gold, but the remaining fertile land is pitiful. In the winter, you don't have enough food to survive on the grain delivered by the grain state, but you have gold so you can afford it, and those who can't afford it will starve to death. ”

The head of a family laughed and smugly: "So what. This is the survival rule of our Golden State, that is, if you don't sign the agreement, the grain will not be distributed to you! ”

At this time, Ling'er came in with a plate of pastries and trotted to Zhirong: "Lord." The pastries of the major families really have their own characteristics, I have tasted a lot, these are the best, you can try them? ”

Zhirong sat with her in a large golden chair. took a piece of osmanthus cake and took a small bite: "Hmm." Grain is indeed better than gold. ”

The faces of the people below are all green, and listening to the meaning of what this little girl just said, the various families have been broken. Their families are now in the hands of this ugly monster in front of them.

"Bai Zhirong. What exactly do you want to do? It's better to say it. ”

"Bai Zhirong, if you kill my whole family, someone will definitely take revenge, you dare!"

"It's delicious, but it's choking." Zhirong put down the pastry and swept them coldly: "I forgot to tell you that your so-called gunpowder has been completely cleared by my commander, and all your private troops who resist and surrender without putting down their weapons have been beheaded." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp below, and they dared to come over to negotiate with Zhirong on the basis of these. However, it was all in vain. Where are they willing.

"There is also news that has just come that the king of the northern realm has taken the grain state. Oh, will your food not be cut off? Without my words, the King of the North would not have given you a grain of rice! Zhirong fed Ling'er a snack, and this little girl whispered in her ear just now that it brought such good news.

"I forgot to tell you, since I, Bai Zhirong, have not dared to do anything since I entered the northern border, I will do everything to kill people and set fires. Don't threaten me with revenge! From now on, the Golden City Lord no longer needs to sign agreements with the major families. I don't think you can figure it out for a while, so you might as well go to prison and think about it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Cheng grabbed these people, put them in shackles and leg shackles, gagged them and sent them to prison.

"They were not given water and food. Every day, I propose to bring someone to watch me eat. Zhirong sat down again, but there was some uneasiness in his heart, there was no news from Shen Qing's side for a long time, and Cao Zhen was afraid that he had already crossed the defense line and entered the Dongyue grassland.

"Lord! We've taken the Golden State plus the Evil Spirit City, and the capital of the central northern realm is also in our pocket, so you can form a small country and fight the king of the north. Why did you lock up all the big families in the Golden State, how did this state capital run, and there would be chaos in the city. ”

Sheng Hongyu really didn't understand Zhirong's persistence, it was just a paper agreement, why should she care so much, in such a drastic way, in this way, those big families would have people who surrendered.

Zhirong sighed and shook his head: "Hongyu, what you said is to the good people, and to the evil, you must use evil to fight evil." These people are not as good as those fanatics in Evil Spirit City, if I give up one step, they will take ten steps forward, since they have taken the Golden State, there is no agreement, I am the supreme ruler here. ”

As if she suddenly remembered something, her eyes flashed: "Don't say anything in the future to compete with the king of the north, you have to remember that I and the king of the north are interdependent." Without him, did you think the Golden State would have taken it so easily? ”

Jin Zixuan must have arrived in Liangzhou day and night, and captured Liangzhou City as quickly as possible. His purpose was to control the largest grain producing area in the north, and the second purpose was to enable Zhirong to secure the Golden State. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent someone to bring the news quickly.

Zhirong thought of the twin flowers of Evil Spirit City again, she and Jin Zixuan were just like that flower now, but the difference was that Jin Zixuan gave her more.

"Lord, Shen Qing and Jin Shi are back." Shen Heng came in to pray, and then Shen Qing and Jin Shi came in and knelt on the ground.

"Lord, his subordinates are incompetent, Cao Zhen has run away!" Shen Qing said and kowtowed fiercely: "Please punish the Lord!" ”

Seeing this, Jin Shi also kowtowed and said: "It's the fault of his subordinates, he has already caught Cao Zhen, Deputy Commander Shen asked his subordinates to escort Cao Zhen back, but I fell for that guy's trick, the king of the Heiyuan tribe, the largest tribe in the Dongyue grassland, rescued him, it's all the fault of his subordinates, please punish the lord!" ”

The forces behind Cao Zhen are really powerful. However, seeing that the two love generals were not injured, Zhirong was already very satisfied.

"Naturally, I will be punished, I have arrested some stubborn people, you two are in charge of the trial, and you must judge a result that I am satisfied with." Put those pretentious guys in the hands of Shen Qing, I believe it will be more effective.

In the following days, Zhirong took Shen Heng, Jiang Cheng and others to rectify the prisoners and settle the people. Without those big households, the people still look honest and afraid, and Zhirong also knows that re-establishing the business chain is not an overnight thing, but she has her own way.

She posted notices everywhere, interrogated the head of a large family at the gate of the state capital every day, and summoned the whole city to watch. Some big families who refused to surrender Zhirong were not polite and made a decision on the spot, raided their homes, and beheaded those who did evil. All the stolen family property was used to build the Golden City.

At this time, the people were boiling, and they finally saw the dawn of life. Especially for those who can only pan for gold for a living, Zhirong allows them to study and do business, and the Golden City is gradually abolishing the untouchability system. Some people with brains set up shops, some people went to do chores, and no matter what they did, they didn't have to go hungry or cold.

For them, Zhirong is a living bodhisattva sent by heaven.

The gold panning system has also been modified by Zhirong, and those who dig for gold can choose to stay on their own, and the treatment on the gold mine has been improved, and the old and weak are definitely not accepted. And those captives were also exiled prisoners, seeing Zhirong being so Mingzheng, some of them chose to live and work in peace and contentment, and some chose to join the Shen family's army.

So far, the number of the Shen family's army has reached 50,000.

The Golden City is a waste waiting to be rebuilt, and it is very lively every day. However, the thorn in Zhirong's heart is still there, and that is Cao Zhen who fled to the Dongyue grassland.

If this person doesn't catch it, there will be trouble, and it seems that he will have to go to the Dongyue grassland after all. (To be continued......)
