For ten days, Xiao Chen was recuperating from his injuries with peace of mind, with the help of a large number of pills and precious medicinal materials, coupled with his diligent daily guidance of soul power to reopen the damaged meridians, he was already healed at this moment.

Chu Yue's injuries have also healed by more than eighty percent, and her brother Chu Yang had already put on makeup and gone to Da Chu before Xiao Chen returned, the reason was to inquire about the news.

Actually, the main reason is that he couldn't stay in Jincheng anymore, he lied in front of Wang Xuanye, and then was exposed by his own sister, which was simply disgraceful.

After returning to Jincheng, Wang Xuanye didn't say a word about this matter, and still treated him as a guest.

The more this happened, the more he felt that he had no face to stay, so he found a reasonable reason to leave Jincheng and go to Dachu.

As for whether he could bring back useful news, Wang Xuanye didn't take it seriously, Chu Yue didn't take it seriously, and Xiao Chen didn't take it seriously.

In view of Xiao Chen's physical condition, the father and son of the Wang family rarely come to disturb him these days, seeing that he is recovering well, Wang Xuanye came over in person and invited him to participate in the monthly meeting.

The people who can participate in the deliberations of the City Lord's Mansion, except for the Wang family's father and son and Xiao Chen, there are only three people left, and they are all important people who hold the military and political power of Jincheng.

At the beginning of the meeting, the first person to speak was Wang Xuanye, who made a detailed analysis of the situation of the enemy and us in the recent period.

A while ago, everyone's attention was on the Dark Demon Tower, Jincheng and the Pantheist Sect and the Great Chu Border Army were at peace, Wang Taiji sat in Jincheng, sent more than a dozen envoys to negotiate with the tribes threatened by the Pantheist Sect, and successfully formed an alliance with three large tribes, six medium tribes and two small tribes, and swore to jointly resist the Pantheist Cult,

It is said that the Pantheon Sect and the Great Chu Border Army have lost a lot of manpower in the Dark Demon Tower, and of course they have also cultivated a number of masters who have been promoted to four or five levels in a row.

"Brother Wang, are the people sent to the Dark Demon Tower by Jincheng seriously damaged," the little marquis asked,

"There are more than thirty dead, but most of the remaining people have been upgraded, the least have also been promoted by one level, most of them have been promoted to level three or above, and there are relatively few level five," Wang Xuanye replied: "Generally speaking, taking advantage is more than eating loss,"

The little marquis smiled with relief: "That's good, by the way, there is no news about Heaven and Earth City recently,"

This is what he wants to ask the most, and he can't wait to know about Piao Piao's situation.

Wang Xuanye shook his head: "I was about to tell you, the defense specifications of Heaven and Earth City have risen by at least three grades, and the several groups of spies I sent have suffered heavy casualties, and no one can get in, but according to reliable sources, at this time, the head of the Pantheistic Sect is still the right and left Xian King, and the news about the Holy Maiden and the Holy Sect Master is very strict, and many people don't even know if they have returned to the city,"

Hearing this, the little marquis frowned slightly, but it is certain that the Holy Sect Master has not yet woken up, otherwise the person in charge cannot be the Zuo Xian King.

Wang Taiji glanced at his son and said, "Xuan Ye, tell Xiao Xian's nephew another thing, and let him help us get an idea,"

Wang Xuanye nodded, and then said in a slow voice: "In the past few days, King Qin has sent several groups of people to show goodwill, with an extremely respectful attitude, saying that he wants to form a brotherly alliance with Jincheng, my father and I can't guess what kind of medicine is sold in Li Dingguo's gourd, and we haven't agreed or refused, I want you to help analyze it, Brother Xian,"

"Yes," Xiao Chen expressed surprise at this, what did King Qin want to do,

Wang Taiji put the three letters in front of him and said: "The first two are from the hand of Lu Xianxian, the prime minister of the Qin Palace, and the latter is a letter written by Li Dingguo, the words are extremely sincere, but he only said that he was willing to form an alliance with Jincheng, but he did not mention the Pantheistic Religion, which is unpredictable."

Xiao Chen carefully read the three letters, and said with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is in a hurry, and he can't wait to do it,"

The father and son changed color at the same time, and Wang Taiji slapped the table: "You mean that he wants to plot against Jincheng and deliberately uses this method to confuse us,"

The little marquis waved his hand: "No, what he is trying to do is not Jincheng, but he really wants to form an alliance with Jincheng, there is no doubt about this,"

Wang Xuanye frowned and asked, "What he is trying to do is not Jincheng, what kind of place is that?"

"Great Chu Jiangshan," the little marquis said word by word, and then explained: "Li Dingguo has always coveted the throne, and he has long had the idea of replacing it, he is in cahoots with the Pantheon Sect, just to achieve the ultimate goal of seeking a dynasty and usurping the throne, and he values Jincheng so much at this time, it is nothing more than to leave a back road for himself, in case he loses on the battlefield, he can lead the remnants of the defeated army to hide in Jincheng, and use this place as a basis to accumulate strength to seek great things,"

Wang Taijie snorted: "This King of Qin, it's so calculating,"

"It's not surprising that those who have achieved great things throughout the ages have to consider the road before and behind them," Wang Xuanye said: "Especially if the weak side does not prepare a back road for himself, it will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg, and the success of breaking the kettle cannot be replicated."

Wang Taiji made a decision: "No matter what, he Li Dingguo is uneasy and kind, if one day he is really defeated, how can he not take Jincheng as a bag, at that time Jincheng is the only chance to turn the tables, I will clearly refuse the messenger, let him die of this heart,"

"Don't worry," the little marquis said with a smile: "Uncle City Lord, don't be impatient, I don't think it's a bad thing to form an alliance, and the current situation is that King Qin has a request for us, he wants to leave a way back, and he has to pay some price,"

Hearing this, Wang Xuanye's eyes lit up: "Brother Xian, you mean that we just took the opportunity to open his mouth and slaughter him fiercely, right?"

The little marquis smiled and snapped his fingers: "That's right,"

Wang Taijie looked suspicious: "We are not short of money, if we receive the benefits of King Qin, don't we have to go along with him, and also give him the opportunity to embezzle Jincheng in the future, this is a loss-making deal,"

Xiao Chen looked at Wang Taiji with the eyes of a big ingot, thinking that a local tyrant is a local tyrant, and the words he said were so heroic, especially the sentence "We are not short of money",

Wang Xuanye smiled bitterly, looked at his father and said: "Who said that we must do things after receiving money, we are pretending to form an alliance with the King of Qin, and make a lot of money for him, and when he is busy with his own brothers, can we take care of us, if he is defeated, if there is still a chance to escape here, we will pretend to welcome him into the city, set up an ambush to capture him alive, and then give it to the Emperor of Great Chu, and get a reward;

Wang Taiji's eyes lit up: "According to your son, if you form an alliance with King Qin, we will take advantage of the left and right, right?"

The little marquis smiled and said, "That's right, since it's a business that makes sure you don't lose money, why don't you do it?"

The city lord's uncle laughed and said happily: "Your analysis is very reasonable, it is indeed a business that is sure to make money without losing money, so I will order a banquet to entertain the envoy of the King of Qin, and make a gesture of being willing to form an alliance with him,"

Xiao Chen and Wang Xuanye spoke at the same time - explained: "Don't forget that the lion opens his mouth,"

Wang Taiji nodded, and Xiao Chen said again responsibly: "The sky is asking for the price to pay back on the spot, Uncle City Lord, you must not be soft-mouthed, don't be afraid to scare the envoy of King Qin, the more you want, the less King Qin will doubt your 'sincerity',"
