Chapter 230: The Dormant Beast

Looking at Yin Ruoyu not far away smiling like a flower greeting the guests who came to send congratulatory gifts, the little pig muttered in Lu Yunchu's arms: "Look at her like that, it seems that you didn't take it to heart at all about making it difficult for her to take two tests at noon!"

Although Lu Yunchu was moved when he heard what she said, he still wisely closed his mouth. Experience had taught him that once he opened his mouth to talk to her about his sister, there would be a conflict between them.

As he was hesitating about how to get away with Piggy, the conversation between Venerable Perak and the two birthday greetings caught his attention.

"Falling Flower City is the richest place in the Marfa Continent, presumably the city lord's congratulatory gift must be a big deal, can the owner let me wait for a glimpse and feast my eyes?"

The man who spoke was in his early fifties, tall and thick, with a thick beard on his dark, rough face, and a sharp, greedy and brutal look in the eyes of the hawk.

Beside him, a middle-aged man who was almost the same age as him was bent over his waist and nodded his head in agreement: "Yes, yes, and let me wait to open my eyes." ”

Hearing someone mention Falling Flower City, Little Pig couldn't help but cast his attention over, and when he saw that it was two unfamiliar faces, he asked Lu Yunchu softly: "Who are those two people?"

"The tall man is Hu Tuo, the lord of the city, and next to him is Guo Lin, the lord of Tucheng. Lu Yunchu lowered his head and replied in a whisper: "Mengzhong City is adjacent to Tucheng, but Mengzhong City is stronger than Tucheng, and Tucheng has been included in the bag a few years ago. Although Guo Lin is the lord of a city, he is only in name only, and all the materials and income of Tucheng are under the control and disposal of Hu Tuo. ”

As soon as he said this, Piggy remembered the distribution of plates on the map of the Marfa continent in the game.

In the far northwest of the continent, there is an endless desert that occupies almost a quarter of the entire map, and next to the desert is Oasis City, and Tucheng is a small city between Oasis City and the League.

According to Lu Yunchu's statement, Hu Tuo of the League Heavy City has occupied Tucheng in the past few years......

If this is the case, the newly rising Oasis City, which is rich and has no city lord, is not a piece of fat in Hu Tuo's eyes?

Just thinking about it, he heard the Thunderbolt Venerable open his mouth with a haha: "That Flower City Lord has entrusted someone to bring a letter earlier, and he has been busy with official business recently, so he can't participate in the next birthday banquet this time." ”

The city lord of Falling Flower City finally attended his birthday banquet in the future, which originally made the Perak Venerable unhappy.

Although he had said earlier that he would invite guests from all over the world on his fiftieth birthday, the only ones who had really sent invitations were only a few city lords and prestigious sect heads, and Luohua City was one of them.

Among the guests this time, more than half of them were from Ginkgo Villa who came to celebrate his birthday without taking the initiative to invite them, thinking about the city lords and those small sects, which one of them was not licking his face to come to Ginkgo Villa?

The city lord of Falling Flower City, even if he let his beloved disciple personally send an invitation, he never invited him to come to the birthday banquet.

"Since someone has been entrusted to deliver the letter, although the person does not come, presumably the congratulatory gift is also sent to the villa, right?" Hu Tuo asked urgently.

Mengzhong City is located in the northwest region of the Marfa continent, with barren land and scarce materials. As early as Hu Tuo took over the city, he has been committed to expanding his sphere of influence.

Ten years ago, he had no trouble leveling Tucheng, who would have thought that Tucheng was a poorer place, and after the invasion of Tucheng, although his control area was more extensive, its burden seemed to be a little heavier than before the invasion.

As a result, he set his sights on Oasis City, which was becoming more and more prosperous. Of course, his ambitions don't stop there, and his ultimate goal is the most extensive desert region in the Marfa continent.

Although the desert seemed desolate and barren, he believed that there were treasures in the desert, and he believed that it was not groundless.

As long as he takes Oasis City, he will not only be able to control the merchants who come and go to do business in it, and enjoy all kinds of taxes, but most importantly, he will be able to prohibit all walks of life from entering the desert to hunt for treasures as the lord of the three cities (Mengzhong, Tucheng and Oasis City), so that the treasure in the desert will be in his pocket sooner or later.

However, if he went to occupy Oasis City, which was not adjacent to it, under the banner of Minghuang, he was always afraid that it would arouse the public anger of the Marfa Continent, but Guo Lin, the lord of Tucheng City, was a mud that could not support the wall, although he surrendered to him, he could not have external help for him.

Two years after subduing Tucheng, that is, eight years ago, he came up with a clever plan, let dozens of his subordinates pretend to be sand bandits to invade Oasis City, loot and smash eighty percent of the shops in the city, for a time in the Oasis City really caused panic due to heavy losses of people and property, half of the merchants went bankrupt due to heavy losses, more than thirty percent of the shops wanted to transfer at a low price as soon as possible to flee Oasis City, and the remaining less than two percent of the businessmen lived in panic and had no intention of properly doing business.

Seeing that his plan was about to take effect, he would soon be able to buy or annex important shops in the city at a low price as the new owner, so as to monopolize its economy and then rule its people.

However, one morning when he was about to succeed, when he woke up in the Mengzhong City Lord's Mansion, he found that the pillow containing the 500,000 coin tickets was missing, and was replaced by two hard ashlar blocks. Not only that, but when he inspected the City Lord's Mansion, he found that all the valuable families in the mansion had been looted......

There were no casualties among the people in the house, but when asked about everyone, they did not know what had happened during the night.

Hu Tuo himself is a martial arts cultivator, and there are many powerful servants and guards in the mansion, but this person can ransack his city lord's mansion without everyone noticing, and the depth of his mana is really terrifying......

Later, he finally found a note under the two rocks on his pillow, to the effect that he should stop thinking about harming Oasis City in the future, if not, he would not take the pillow that hid his money ticket, but his head!

This note made his scalp tingle and his body sweated like rain, he knew that this person was definitely not talking about fun, and this person wanted to take his head...... It's so convenient......

The next day, a mysterious person suddenly appeared in the oasis city, and he gave a lot of money to the merchants in the city regardless of the return, helping the merchants to regain their strength and exert their strength.

With the support of the mysterious people, the frustrated Oasis City soon regained its former prosperity.

Since then, Hu Tuo no longer dares to extend his claws to Oasis City.

But not daring to stretch out his claws does not mean that he has no such ambition from now on, he has always been like a dormant beast, waiting for an opportunity to hit his prey with one blow.

Now, eight years later, he thinks his opportunity has finally arrived.

That was the 50th birthday of His Holiness Perak.
