Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, under the thick sun, the atmosphere in the Acropolis of Qinjia City, which was close to the west, was cold.

Qin family compound.

At this time, almost all the high-level leaders of the Qin family had gathered here.

Sitting on the upper seat of the main hall, Qin Yu, the head of the Qin family, slowly asked, "Are you sure you came straight to my acropolis?"

Hearing the question of the head of the house, more than a dozen people in the audience turned their eyes to a middle-aged man at the end of the seat.

I saw that the man's face was sad, and he nodded slowly and said: "There are two avenues through my Acropolis, one leads directly to the south, which is the official road that ordinary people seek, and the other is directly to my Acropolis. ”

"In this way, is the target of this Yiren really my acropolis?" Qin Yu said, frowning his brows: "How many people are coming?"

When the man heard this, he silently calculated in his heart and said, "There are no less than a thousand. ”

"Thousand?" Qin Yu was stunned: "Are they all martial artists?"

If there are only a thousand people, trying to capture their acropolis is tantamount to a fool's dream, but if these thousand people are all warriors, it will be too terrifying.

You must know that even if their entire acropolis is combined, the number of warriors is at most three thousand, and the number of warriors that can be controlled by them is less than three hundred.

The man sitting at the end also thought of this question, and also determined through some eyeliner that the thousand people were all martial artists.

At this time, when the head of the family asked, he had no choice but to nod honestly and said, "All of them, and there are hundreds of grandmasters." ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of exclamations in the hall.

A strong grandmaster with hundreds of people?

What kind of madness is this famine? How many strong people were sent at once?

Are they planning to break the three-legged situation of this sinful place?

Everyone thought of this, and whispers came and went in the hall.

On the main seat, Qin Yu's heart was also trembling, and a pair of palms grasping the armrests of the table and chair were pinched.

I saw him ponder for a long time before he suddenly spoke: "Quiet!"

Everyone was silent and turned their eyes to the direction of the upper position.

"The strong grandmaster of more than 100 people is no longer something that my Qin family can fight alone, I ordered to go down, let all the children of the family be ready for battle, and immediately send someone to me to ask for help from the other five cities. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

The man at the end stood up and saluted, and slowly retreated, followed by the sound of footsteps running away.

And in that hall, the dozens of people below were once again in deep thought.

After half a ring, I saw a white-haired old man sitting on the right side of the Qin family master asking, "I don't know what the purpose of this Yiren's move is." ”

"Hmph, what else can you do," said a burly Khan in the field, "This Yi people have always been wolf ambitions, and they have long wanted to swallow this evil place alone, if it weren't for the fear of forcing us to join forces with the barbarians, otherwise we would have swept away the forces on our side of the Great Zhou." ”

"Then why aren't they afraid this time?" the white-haired old man continued.

When the burly Khan heard this, he was speechless, and he couldn't think of any reason for the Yiren powerhouse to make such a large-scale dispatch, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

At the same time, I saw that Qin Yu on the main seat was a little tired, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "I've heard of it." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they all gathered their eyes.

I saw that Qin Yu let go of his fingers, and said with a thoughtful expression: "A few days ago, our secret agent came to report that there will be a big secret realm opened in this evil place, and there is an accident with a heavy treasure, so it will attract clouds from all directions." ”

"Shhh

"No matter what, everyone is still ready after they go back, no matter what this Yi people want to do, even if it is a battle, we have to hold out for ten days, otherwise this reinforcement will not arrive, and we will be bulldozed, then my Qin family will become a joke of the world." ”

Qin Yu stopped, and after slowing down, he suddenly got up and said, "And this Cao family and the He family may not necessarily help." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became a lot heavier.

Everyone knows that their Qin family has always been reluctant to walk with the Cao family and the He family, and it can even be said that they have always traveled alone.

At this time, it is difficult to avoid that others will not buy it.

And Qin Yu's words also woke everyone up.

"Don't they understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?" asked the white-haired old man.

"What's the use of understanding," Qin Yu replied: "Our Qin family has been able to produce many juniors in the past few days, and even if his Cao family does not have this incident, I believe it will not be long before they will rise up." ”

"So, there's really nothing I can do about it?"

"Running away?" Qin Yu shook his head and said, "What do you think will be the final result now that hundreds of people in our Qin family have lost their place to live?"

Qin Yu said, completely denying the idea of escaping.

After a long groan, I saw him change his words and say, "But it's not like we don't have a chance." ”

"Oh, why did the head of the house say that?"

Hearing this, Qin Yu came to a huge map on the right side of the hall and said, "Come, you see, this is the location of our acropolis, and in this direction, I heard that there has been a sudden increase in the city recently. ”

Qin Yu said, stretched out his hand and flipped over the map, and finally dropped his finger on the mountainous terrain that was not too far from the Acropolis.

"What is this?" The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, pondered, and then saw his eyes light up and said, "What the head of the family said is that Star City, which has been in the limelight recently?"

"Hmm," Qin Yu nodded.

"That's right, why didn't I expect that this Cao family's He family and Xu were unwilling to send troops to help, but although this Star City has no friendship with us, it is also more reliable than the Cao family. The burly sweat on the side also patted his forehead and said.

"That's right, I'm going to do that too. Qin Yu said, and walked back to the main seat and sat down: "I heard that there are still God Realm powerhouses in this Star City, if you can ask them to help, this danger will be solved, and at the same time, I heard that the Chen family is now the head of this Star City, if the Star City is involved, then the people of the Chen family will definitely send troops to help, and at that time, with the power of the three cities, even if the Yi people have sent hundreds of grandmaster powerhouses, they will not be able to do anything with us." ”

"But the head of the family, how can we convince the people of Star City to join?" the white-haired old man said to the hearts of most of the people present.

When Qin Yu heard this, he also turned pale.

His fingers lightly tapped on the gauntlet of the table and chair, and he spoke again: "Star City has just been built, and I think I need a large number of materials, if my Qin family wants to invite them, I can start from this aspect." ”

"This is easy to do," the white-haired old man said, "Today, because Dabi was delayed by the Lord of Star City, the materials prepared by our Acropolis happen to be left, if this batch of materials can be said to move them Star City to help, it will be worth it." ”

"Well, then leave this matter to Elder Ge to handle it! But remember, the strength of this Star City is so strong, even if you can't invite them to help, you can't easily offend. ”

"The old man understands. ”

......

Wolong Mountain under the Feiyu Palace.

"Your Highness, this is the financial income and expenditure of our Star City in the past month. Li Lao said, handing over the thick paper in his hand to Zhang Han.

After half a ring, I saw Zhang Han sigh softly: "I'm still short of money!"

In this paper book, all the expenses since Zhang Han and others established Star City were recorded.

Among them, there are three places with the greatest expense, one is the mining of Xuanyin sand.

In the past month or so, nearly 5,000 people have gone to work in the Xuanyin Sand Mine Cave almost every day, even if each person only has five silver coins per day, but there are nearly 75,000 gold coins in a month.

And then there's the investment in recruits.

To recruit new soldiers, each person also has a salary of three gold coins per month, plus the preparation of weapons and armor, etc., almost a soldier needs to invest about 20 gold coins per month.

In this month's time, 10,000 recruits have consumed Zhang Han's nearly 200,000 gold coins, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers now have a high degree of trust in Zhang Han and others, as long as they can eat enough, they would not be so anxious about the salary.

There is also the refining room, in addition to the raw materials used for forging every day, only the workers of more than 100 people need to pay 1,000 gold coins per month, which is only the most basic living security, if those material costs and wear and tear costs are counted together, there is no need for 200,000 gold coins to support the expenses of the refining room.

Of course, it's not all expenses.

In terms of income, Star City's tariffs suddenly began to soar last month, and in just one month, the import and export tariffs were as high as 100,000 gold coins, plus the net profit from the sale of spirit wine was 300,000 gold coins, as well as the gold coin materials looted from the major families, which was just enough to make up for the current spending gap in Star City.

However, in the face of the current expenses of nearly 500,000 gold coins per month, even Zhang Han felt a little headache.

After a long groan, I saw Li Lao ask tentatively: "Your Highness, if it doesn't work, let's sell some of the spirit stones in our hands! With the spirit stone reserves of my Blue Star people, even if we only take out a small part, we can still solve our current difficult situation." ”

When Zhang Han heard this, he shook his head expressionlessly and said: "Spirit stones must not be sold to the outside world, and even Li Lao, you still need to arrange for people to buy spirit stones, this thing, and then it will be the real foothold." ”

"But in this case, I'm afraid that if it drags on for a long time, those recruits and the people will be dissatisfied!" Li Lao said, his face was a little anxious and said: "Even if they don't say it, we can't chill other people's hearts!"

When Zhang Han heard this, he groaned for a while and saw him slowly speak: "Spirit stones can't be sold, but we also have other things!"

"For example, those scrap items in the refining room that don't meet the standards of first-order spiritual treasures but far exceed ordinary weapons, why don't we sell them to the outside world? And those weapons, even if they are priced at twenty gold coins, I think there are a lot of people who buy them. ”
