Han Sui and Ma Teng are willing to risk the world's disapproval. Imposing additional money on liege players in the sphere of influence, which amounts to a new tax, is a red flag. With the lessons of the past, it is only a matter of time before the other NPC princes are called by interests, and it is only a matter of time before they follow up.

The wealth and population of more than 50,000 lord players is a staggering number, and when the princes realize this, it is like a bee falling in love with a flower, and it is difficult to give up.

It is conceivable that different princes will have different scales on this matter, Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Liu Yu of Youzhou have always had the image of loving the people, and the life of the lord players in their jurisdiction may be better; When the lord players of Yongzhou and Sili encountered a tyrant like Dong Zhuo, it was not surprising that the territory was dug three feet into the ground.

Winter for lord players is coming!

Ah Niu's headache was how to make Long Fei avoid the excessive exploitation that might ensue from the princes. Feng Xiangcheng did not have the habit of giving in, it was just Long Fei's special situation, so Ah Niu had to be extra cautious when dealing with this matter. Feng Xiang can proudly bathe in the sun and accept all kinds of eyes, but especially the territory of Long Fei, it is best never to be known, and always manipulate silently in secret!

Just when Ah Niu had not yet made a decision on the matter, Chen Gong continued his report. Long Fei is now facing a difficult situation. Not only is Han Sui's movements, which Chen Gong has been worried about, but there are also some clues that convey information that is unsettling.

More and more players have noticed the remote corner of Dragon Flying City!

Long Fei's upgrade to a first-class city was relatively early, because Chen Gong and others were low-key, and Long Fei's location was quite remote, especially in the early stage of territory construction, it rarely attracted the attention of other players. But this situation, with the passage of time, and Long Fei's flying, gradually changed, especially before the Harmony Chamber of Commerce established an office in Liangzhou, Chen Gong had to send people to trade with nearby territories, and Long Fei gradually surfaced and entered the player's sight.

More and more Jincheng County players are full of curiosity about this remote and mysterious Longfei City, which rarely interacts with the outside world.

"Who is the lord of Dragon Flying City?"

"How is the location of his territory so strange, it is at the exit of a valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is overwhelming!"

"Yes, I have seen that territory from afar outside the city, the walls are full of arrow towers, and the valley is full of multi-layered, three-dimensional fortifications, my God, what is in that lord's head? Is he going to turn the entire territory into a bunker? ”

"It's strange, Long Fei City rarely interacts with the outside world, and players are strictly forbidden to enter that territory for consumption, but it may not be a little strange that they are so fast."

Except for the Five Rats of Jincheng, no player in Liangzhou was able to enter the interior of Longfei City, and some adventurous players tried their best to sneak into Longfei City to explore the secrets. None of them succeeded, "The city was too well defended!" ”

Long Fei's "close neighbor", the city lord of Qingcao City, fifty miles to the northeast, raced against time, and at the beginning of Long Fei's establishment and during the period of Qingcao Town, he sent a force of 500 people to show off his might, but was frightened by Li Jin with the same number of cavalry and went back in a bad way, and since then, he has been secretly paying attention to Long Fei's exhibition.

Long Fei's flying exhibition made him stunned!

Racing against time, I can't figure out why a fledgling territory could have a cavalry force of 500 people in the period of a first-class township? Why is it possible to upgrade to a city so quickly in a state of seclusion? Why is there so much population and money? Why......

It seems that there are only three subordinate territories of Long Fei - people still don't know that those three subordinate territories do not belong to Long Fei, but to Feng Xiang. Dragon Flying City can't have a subordinate territory at all!

Long Feicheng's existence zài makes too many whys pop up in my mind in a race against time.

When the city lord of a first-class city posted the results of his long-term observation of Long Fei on the Internet, Long Fei became famous overnight. More players in Liangzhou want to find out and uncover the mystery of Longfei City, and even some adventurous players from Yongzhou and Yizhou also come here, but Longfei City cannot be open to these players, they can only look at the city and sigh.

"Who is the mysterious Dragon Flying City Lord" has become an unsolved case in the game!

The player's comments on the special territory Ah Niu naturally knew, and Ah Niu was not surprised by this. Long Feicheng can't fly away, to think that so many players can't see the existence of Longfeicheng from beginning to end, it's obviously an unrealistic fantasy, Ah Niu's bottom line is not to let any players show the relationship between Liangzhou Longfei and Qingzhou Fengxiang City, as long as this bottom line is not crossed, the gossip of the outside world will not be taken into account at all.

What Ah Niu didn't know was that the strongest player forces in Jincheng County had already developed a strong interest in the mysterious Dragon Flying City. As long as people with a little eyesight are not difficult to see, Longfei, which is built by the mountains and valleys, is strategically located, and the territory encloses a huge valley into his own back garden, which is really "lucky" to make people have nothing to say, if the city lord of Longfei is not born lucky, then it can only explain that there are other reasons!

Other than that. Although he acted very low-key, Long Fei was located in the border area of Jincheng County with the momentum of a tiger, which still made the stronger player forces in Jincheng County feel threatened. The land of Liangzhou, which is not calm, has a few more undercurrents.

In addition to the potential threat of NPC princes and players, Chen Gong learned from Mangzhong, Kaza and others that there were also some unfavorable news coming from the Qiang world.

After starting trade cooperation with Fengxiang, the strength of Burning Dangqiang recovered to an astonishing degree, and when the tentacles of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce extended into the Qiang world, the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce in the Qiang world, Burning Dangqiang, got more benefits, as well as amazing wealth. Although the current Burning Qiang has not yet entered the ranks of the strong of the Qiang ethnic group, it has long since lost its former weakness.

The unusual rise of the Qiang has aroused strong concern within the Qiang world, and there are many different versions of the rumors about the mystery of the rise of the Qiang people, one of which is: the Han people in Liangzhou cooperated privately, and the trade with the Han people improved the strength of the territory, as evidenced by the large number of Han goods in the Qiang tribe!

This rumor is very close to the truth!

There are also some speculations, which are ridiculous.

"The efforts made by Burning Dangqiang for the cause of the Qiang people were appreciated by the gods, and the omnipotent gods began to compensate for the sacrifice of Burning Dangqiang. In this way, it is better to restore the strength of Burning Dangqiang, and it will be more certain to hold the secret passage to block the possible attacks of the Han people! ”

"They have found an open-pit gold mine in the mountains, a lot of gold! It is precisely because of the large amount of gold that the burning of Dangqiang can quickly restore its strength. ”……

The only consolation is that no one among the Qiang ethnic groups has clearly pointed out that the cooperation between the Qiang and the Han people has made use of the secret passage of the Eight Treasure Valley, which is a blessing in misfortune.

However, neither Mangzhong nor Chen Gong dared to be careless, once the true situation outside the Eight Treasures Valley was known to the other Qiang tribes, even if Dangqiang was burned, it would be difficult for Dangqiang to openly stand on Ah Niu's side, and Long Fei would likely face an extremely severe test!

An unprecedentedly difficult test!

It wasn't until Chen Gong finished telling that Ah Niu sighed. "I didn't expect that the recent shape of the exhibition has reached this point, and the pressure on the public station is very high! Is the Liangzhou Shanzi Camp only expanded to 4,000 people? After Fengxiang was upgraded to a third-level city, there was an additional heavy infantry training camp in the city, and I have ordered a heavy infantry battalion of 2,000 people to be formed in Fengxiang. ”

Ah Niu, who previously thought that Liangzhou would not need so many troops, now understands how much pressure Chen Gong is under, and is busy hoping to add strength to Liangzhou. The deposit of the special territory is of great significance to Fengxiang, even if the flow of funds is not optimistic, Ah Niu will never be short of two pounds in Longfei's safety investment.

The changes in the forces of the princes of Liangzhou, the power of the players, and the world of the Qiang people, any difficulty is a huge challenge for Long Fei.

The special territory that is extremely important to Fengxiang is in crisis!

Chen Gong thought for a moment, "The lord wants to recall the first deceased soldiers, does he intend to use troops externally in the near future?" If that's the case, the heavy step battalion should stay in Qingzhou for the time being, I plan to let the thunder ride not enter the Xiongnu steppe for this time, and now there is no shortage of the two thousand heavy step battalions in Liangzhou. When the war in Qingzhou is over, it will not be too late to transfer it again. ”

"It's fine. If the situation in Liangzhou continues to deteriorate, the public station can decide whether to increase troops according to the needs of the situation, no matter how much funds and talents are needed, we in Qingzhou are in the base camp, and we will give full support! With Feng Xiang's material resources, can't he meet Long Fei's needs? Public stations don't have to be too economical. Ah Niu said in a deep voice.

Chen Gong nodded, "The other strangers are curious about Long Fei, and they have tried many times, but I'm not too worried about these, they will disperse when they feel bored after a long time; Other Qiang ethnic groups were amazed at the spread of the Burning Dangqiang, but they did not have enough evidence to prove Mangzhong's relationship with us. Mang Zhong has a good personal relationship with the lord. After Dangqiang tasted the sweetness in the agency business with the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, it was impossible to give up cooperation with us lightly, and he would try his best to help us get through the sadness when something happened;

Now what I'm most worried about is Han Sui, Long Fei is within Han Sui's sphere of influence, it's just a matter of asking for some money and food, I'm afraid that they will be insatiable and greedy. The so-called horseman is innocent and guilty, and the top-grade Xiqiang war horse ridden by Thunder is very attractive to princes like Han Sui. Changing places, in other words, I am Han Sui, and I know that a first-class city has nearly a thousand high-quality war horses, it is hard to imagine not having the idea of taking these war horses as already owned, in that case......"

Chen Gong stopped and didn't continue, Ah Niu has never been a stupid person who is slow to react, and Chen Gong doesn't need to say anything anymore.

A certain city lord took a deep breath, it was quite difficult to deal with this trouble, although he was not alive yet. But Chen Gong was so solemn that Ah Niu didn't dare to leave anything to chance.

"What does the public platform mean?"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly: "If that situation is born, it is not possible to refuse unreasonable demands and fight with Han Sui, even if we do our best to have a showdown with Han Sui, our chances of winning in Jincheng County are not great, and it will also expose the fact that Long Fei belongs to Fengxiang City, which is obviously not advisable; If you show too much weakness, you will inevitably become a vassal of the princes, and you will be given what you want. Thinking about it again and again, unless Han Sui can feel that we are not easy to deal with, and the forcible attack outweighs the loss, so as to take the initiative to reduce the exploitation of us, it will be difficult to resolve this matter safely. ”

A certain city lord hung his head and thought for a while, and looked at Chen Gong with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Gongtai plans to upgrade Longfei to a second-level city?" ”

"The lord is wise, the palace does have this plan!"

A smile appeared on Chen Gong's face, this was the first time Ah Niu had seen Chen Gong not so strict since he came to Liangzhou this time.

"If I'm not mistaken, Long Fei has already met the conditions for upgrading to a second-tier city, right?"

"Yes. The two most time-consuming projects in the first-class city stage are the Chi Road and the Stone City Wall, which took a lot of time to complete in Fengxiang City, but Long Fei did not have his own subordinate territory at all, and only needed to lay the Chi Road to the three subsidiary territories; As for the stone city wall, the mountain walls at both ends of Babao Valley are natural city walls, and the stone city wall of Longfei has only two sides, and the amount of work has been greatly reduced. As for the population, there are thousands of villagers who help us raise them, and Long Fei can be promoted to a second-class city at any time. Chen Gong said with a smile.

Ah Niu frowned, and said categorically: "Let's do it, I'll leave it to you for the time being!" If their demands are not too excessive, the public should give alms to the poor and satisfy their demands; If they have to take our war horses as vegetables grown in his field, then it depends on how many soldiers they are willing to let die outside the Eight Treasure Valley! ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Chen Gong's idea was actually very simple, first to improve the strength of Long Fei City as much as possible, and use a solid defense system. It will bring a certain amount of deterrence to the forces with bad intentions, thus minimizing the possibility of a violent conflict.

The pride and strength of Fengxiang people precipitated in their bones and flowing in their blood make Fengxiang people never afraid of any challenge. Ah Niu can make some kind of concessions and compromises because of Long Fei's special circumstances, but if the other party crosses the low line of tolerance, Fengxiang people do not hesitate to use the most drastic means to protect their rights and interests!

In the troubled times, whether you can survive and breathe fresh air freely depends on your strength!

Now that Liangzhou has many second-tier cities, upgrading will not be an eyesore at this time. The second-level city can have a maximum of 10,000 troops, and with the defense system of Babao Valley, even if Han Sui covets the nearly 1,000 Xiqiang war horses in Longfei City, he has to think carefully about whether the price paid is directly proportional to the benefits obtained.

"People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, and some details do not know how the public station is prepared to respond. If the shape really deteriorates to the point where it is necessary to fight each other, Longdang Town, Pastoral Town, and Iron Hammer Town are all outside the Eight Treasure Valley, and there is no danger to defend, what should be done with these three subsidiary territories? Ah Niu asked in a deep voice, he has become accustomed to thinking about how to deal with the worst-case scenario when making decisions, so as not to be at a loss at that time.

"Withdraw to the Eight Treasure Valley!"

The area of Babao Valley is very large, there is a water source in the valley, and most of the grain and grass materials in the territory of Liangzhou are stored in the valley, and the secret road at the bottom of the valley can lead to the camp of the Qiang people in Shaodang, even if it is besieged for a long time, there will be no risk of cutting off water and food. With just a few more camps, the population problem will be solved.

Chen Gong had already decided that this was almost the only feasible method that could be thought of at the moment, at this time, it was no longer possible to expect the production of the dependent territories to continue, and there was always a price to pay for war.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Feng Xiang will not start the battle with a tough attitude.

In the final analysis, every war is a game of interests, and war is only a means to gain interests, not an end!

The camp of Burning Dangqiang is no longer the shabby appearance when Ah Niu first went there, and the trade with Fengxiang City has allowed Burning Dangqiang to obtain a large number of urgently needed materials, becoming the main spokesperson of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce in the Qiang world, and it has made Burning Dangqiang gain amazing benefits. Now the Qiang has become a veritable rich tribe in the Qiang world, according to Kaza, "This is the result of our deliberate keeping a low profile!" ”

The growing strength of the ethnic group has significantly improved the status of the Qiang Lingmang in the Qiang world, and the majesty in his expression and demeanor is more magnificent, and he has not seen anyone who is not enough, but when Mangzhong heard that the city lord of Fengxiang came to visit, he suddenly lost his usual calmness, and stood up from the tent with a tiger, "Where is Brother Aniu?" ”

Ah Niu is a friend of Mangzhong and Kaza, and the cooperative relationship between Fengxiang and Burning Dangqiang is like glue, and A Niu was ceremoniously received by Burning Dangqiang.

After handing over Uncle Kassan's letter to Kaza, a certain city lord quickly talked to Mang Zhong about the recent discussion of burning Dangqiang in the Qiang world, which was not only a matter of burning Dangqiang, but also involved the safety of the special territory Longfei City.

Mangzhong's attitude towards this matter is very cautious, as the leader of the clan, Mangzhong knows that once the matter of Burning Dangqiang and Feng Xiang's cooperation through the secret path is revealed, Burning Dangqiang will become an outlier in the Qiang world, and the clansmen will never be able to raise their heads.

"Brother Niu, it's best for us to use the secret passage as many times as possible during this time, just in case, I even want to temporarily close the secret passage and wait to avoid the limelight before opening it. I have discussed with Mr. Chen, the closure of the secret passage will not have much impact on your Dragon Flying City, and the reason why it has not been implemented yet is because the materials traded by the Harmony Chamber of Commerce with us all depend on this secret passage for transportation......"

Speaking of this, Mangzhong wanted to speak and stopped, Ah Niu had already learned the whole story of this matter from Chen Gong before he came here, and he had already planned it.

"Brother Mangzhong, don't scruple, there is nothing wrong with your idea being reasonable, in the current situation, it is no longer realistic for the Harmony Chamber of Commerce to continue to use the secret passage to transport goods, and temporary closure can reduce the chance of being revealed.

I'll go say hello to the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, and Qian Xixi won't embarrass you again in this matter. The Heqi Chamber of Commerce is bent on becoming the most influential chamber of commerce in the Qiang region, the scale of trade will only get bigger and bigger, and it is unrealistic to rely too much on secret road transportation, the chamber of commerce must find a way to establish a safe and stable trade channel, and the goods produced in the Central Plains will enter the Qiang region through this channel, and the goods used by the Qiang brothers to trade can also easily enter the Central Plains from this channel! ”

"Yes, it is imperative to open up new trade routes. This is not only a matter of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, but also a matter within our burning of Qiang, if there is a place where we need to help, Ah Niu just commands! Mangzhong was overjoyed.

With the words of Brother Mangzhong, Ah Niu was relieved. For everyone's friendship and happy cooperation, please drink this cup to the full! A certain city lord raised his glass from afar, and smiled and gestured to Mangzhong and Kaza.

"!"

"!"

Before leaving, Ah Niu explained to Mangzhong and Kaza about the shape that Long Fei was now facing, and solemnly proposed to the two that if Long Fei exploded in the city, he hoped that Burning Dangqiang would help as much as possible.

Mangzhong and Kaza readily agreed.

After the Heqi Chamber of Commerce entered the Qiang world, the interests of Burning Dangqiang have been firmly tied to Fengxiang City, and if the special territory of Long Fei falls, it will inevitably have a direct impact on Burning Dangqiang. Therefore, it is reasonable for Mang Zhong and others to make such a statement.

Ah Niu stayed in Liangzhou for two days, and during the two days, in addition to going to the Zaodangqiang camp through the secret road and gathering with Mangzhong and Kaza, Ah Niu focused on in-depth exchanges with Chen Gong on the various problems that Long Fei may face in the future and how to deal with them.

Two days later, Niu left in a hurry. (To be continued)
