Text Chapter 780: Swing a knife and cut meat
Zhenyuan City, the City Lord's Mansion, has never been as lively as it is today.
The gate is slightly arranged, the lights are colorful, inside and out, countless white-clothed nuns are busy coming and going, and the visitors are arranged, after all, every city lord travels with a lot of accompanying guards, junior maids and the like, and it can't make people think that the number of etiquette in Zhenyuan City is not good.
The busiest are the five maids, who keep greeting batches of high-ranking monks, with a smile on their faces, especially the eldest maid Jiang Yi, who greeted Jiang An at the door on behalf of Jiang An, standing straight with her waist, and her heart was even more happy, because so far, the gift list she has received shows that the treasury of Zhenyuan City is indeed unable to fit.
"From the city lord of Rongcheng Wang, the city lord of Fenggao City, the city lord of Songzi, the city lord of Gongyun City, and the city lord of Futong City!"
At this time, Wang Jianfei and the other four city lords slowly landed in shape, Jiang Yi hurriedly went up, gave a blessing to him, and said softly: "The juniors have seen your seniors, and my family is in the mansion to entertain the seniors of the middle realm, please allow the juniors to lead the way."
"Oh, the Daoists in the Middle Realm really came one step earlier, hehe, but, I'm not in a hurry to wait for the four of us, didn't I say that the Daoists of Ande City Yue are about to arrive, let's wait a minute, it's good to be fellow Daoists from the outer realm, it's okay to enter together"
Wang Jianfei said such a thing with a smile.
Jiang Yi didn't know his intentions for a while, so he said: "In this case, the juniors can only comply, but there are a few seniors who can only stand and wait."
"It doesn't matter"
So, Wang Jianfei and the four of them really stood at the gate and waited, whispering and laughing from time to time, which seemed quite natural, and it didn't take long for a group of people to fly in the direction of the city wall, led by a square-faced man with a high level of cultivation, with a thick and somewhat messy beard, but a pair of tiger eyes were righteous and awe-inspiring, and shining.
"Yue Daoyou, it's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a while."
Wang Jianfei and the others took the initiative to greet them.
The square-faced man fell to the ground, with some doubts on his face, and said with his fists clenched: "Why do you wait for the four Taoist friends, I don't know what to do with Yue?"
"What Yue Daoyou said, you and I are both city lords in the outer realm, and it is supposed to be related to each other, and it is also the right thing to wait for you, okay, let's not talk about it yet, I'll go in when I wait for this, don't let the master wait for a long time."
After Wang Jianfei and the others finished speaking, they hugged the square-faced big man and stepped into the mansion, the big man was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not easy to express it directly.
Walking all the way to the main hall of the wide hall, I thought that there would be a scene of singing and dancing and wine inside, but when I entered it, I found that there were no tables and chairs inside, and there were futons on the smooth mirror-like ground, and Jiang An, the city lord of Zhenyuan City, and more than a dozen other high-level monks were talking.
Is this making friends or preaching?
The newcomer couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and then he took the initiative to introduce himself.
"It turned out to be the five city lords of the outer realm, please take a seat, Jiang is very casual here" Jiang An didn't mean to stand up, and stretched out his hand to invite.
Wang Jianfei and the others nodded their heads, and then they were about to find an open space to sit down, and at this time, Jiang An said again: "If you don't mind, Yue Daoyou can sit here."
Jiang An pointed to a futon very close to him and said, not hiding his friendship with Yue Manzi.
The people present were all old foxes who had cultivated to perfection, seeing this, they had their own ideas in their hearts, but they didn't show a trace on their faces, they just smiled and watched Yue Manzi and the others sit down, and those who were nearby whispered hello.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiang is only a thin face, and he can let so many fellow Daoists come, I am really scared, at this time, everyone who should come is here, there should be no more Taoist friends, I will officially start the banquet later."
Jiang An looked around and said slowly.
There were more than twenty upper-level monks present, including nine upper-level second-level monks, who were the city lords of the five cities in the outer realm and the four cities in the middle realm that were linked to Zhenyuan City, and more than a dozen upper-level envoys (deputy city lords) sent by other cities in the middle realm.
Hearing the words of the banquet, these people were a little surprised, originally they thought that Jiang An was deliberately and simply entertaining his colleagues, expressing his dissatisfaction and giving a dismount, and they were already mentally prepared, but Jiang An would not lose his manners.
How did they know that in Jiang An's heart, they didn't even have the qualifications to let him lower his stature to get off Ma Wei, and the number of courtesies he should have would not be less, as for dissatisfaction, hum, just express it directly.
I saw that after Jiang An's voice fell, he waved his sleeves slightly, and everyone felt that there was a flower in front of them, and they were all standing in a small valley with beautiful scenery, with soft grass under their feet, and on both sides of them were exquisite and simple pavilions, in which tables had been set up, on which spiritual food and spiritual wine were placed.
"Please take a seat!"
Jiang An said, walked to the main seat and sat down.
Everyone's faces were a little unnatural, this was clearly not the dismount of the horse! Because no one noticed that the main hall they were in just now was a teleportation array, and all of them were teleported to this space at once, if it was a trap, none of them could escape.
"Please!"
"Fellow Daoist, please!"
Everyone was polite to each other, and soon, they each sat down in the pavilion and looked at Jiang An.
Jiang An picked up the wine glass and said softly: "This city has just come to a big war, the conditions are simple, and Jiang doesn't like singing and dancing, so I can only toast all Taoist friends with a glass of water and wine first, and apologize."
"Lord Jiang Cheng is polite, I am equal to drinking this cup!"
"Let's drink this cup!"
The group raised their glasses together, and then drank the first one.
"Good wine!"
An exclamation suddenly sounded, and everyone looked over, but it was Yue Manzi, who was sitting next to Jiang An, grinning and saying.
"Yue Daoyou likes the things in the cup, very good, this wine is the seizure obtained by Jiang Mou by killing the upper echelons of the four clans, the cold fragrant wine, there are three hundred years old, drinking one cup can be worth half a month of penance for monks such as us, you can drink two more cups" Jiang An chuckled.
The others tasted it carefully at this time, and indeed drank the benefits of this spiritual wine, and immediately praised it.
"Jiang City Lord is really heroic! Three hundred years of cold fragrant wine, and only the monks of the upper level of the dwarf fierce clan will have, this wine is them, and they will only drink a glass from time to time on weekdays, today is stained with the light of Jiang City Lord, we can drink happily, come, I will wait for a cup of return to Jiang City Lord, congratulations to Jiang City Lord for breaking the alien race!"
An old man stood up and said righteously, as if he was specially praising Jiang An.
"Congratulations to City Lord Jiang for breaking the alien race!"
The other upper echelons also stood up together, raised their wine glasses, and saluted Jiang An in return.
Jiang An took another drink and said: "Yu Daoyou and other fellow Daoists have a heart, killing the alien race is the mission of my generation of monks, Jiang is just complying with the mandate of heaven, and the support of the middle realm is indispensable to breaking the alien race, but, Yu Daoyou, the future supply of materials, if you can't be on time because of an accident, hehe..."
As soon as he heard this, the old man and the three monks beside him immediately laughed dryly, and said: "No, no, we hereby guarantee that the supply of materials to Zhenyuan City in the future will definitely not be interrupted due to accidents, and in order to express our resistance to foreign races, the supply to Zhenyuan City in the future will be increased by one and a half on the original basis!"
The so-called Dizi City is the rear city assigned to Zhenyuan City, because the thirty-one cities in the middle realm are distinguished and named according to the "Xuanhuang of the Universe Flood Wasteland", among which the four cities of Dizi are the rear of Zhenyuan City, and at the time of the war, they did cut off the supply of Zhenyuan City.
"That's it"
Jiang An replied lightly, but it made the four city lords of Dizi City breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that Jiang An let them go and would not make trouble because of this matter anymore.
"Speaking of this, Jiang suddenly had a proposal" How do you know that Jiang An's words changed sharply, and he said slowly: "I heard that there are thirty-one cities in the middle realm, one city for every four cities to support the outer border, and only Zhige City is one city, it is seven cities for one city, Jiang's Zhenyuan City has consumed a lot in this war, and it is in urgent need of support to prevent the alien race from attacking again, for this reason, the three additional cities in Zhige City will be assigned to Zhenyuan City in the future! I don't know what you Taoist friends think?"
When everyone heard this, Jiang An really found trouble in Zhige City, and he didn't hide it, and directly swung a knife to cut the meat.
Zhige City is very powerful, and it has divided seven cities to supply, three more than the other six cities in the outer border, and it is so rich that it is very rich, and this time the four clans alliance invaded Zhenyuan City, and it is also Zhige City that is connected in series, Jiang An naturally sees it in his eyes, of course, the most important thing is that the concepts of Zhige City and Zhenyuan City are completely opposite, and they are destined to be incompatible, and they will naturally be suppressed if they can be suppressed.
And for today's banquet, Zhige City did not come, and neither did the Zhongjing Desert City that supported Zhige City.
There was some silence in the field for a while, no one wanted to be the first to speak, and was involved in the struggle between the two cities, Jiang An didn't speak, poured wine by himself, and just glanced at the old man slightly.
The old man was bitter in his heart, but he also knew that they could only stand on Jiang An's side, so they could only be the first to say: "Jiang Cheng Lord is reasonable, the so-called capable people work more, and those who work hard, and then divide three cities to Zhenyuan City, I am the first to approve of the word city, what do you think?"
With the person taking the lead, the other monks who didn't want to offend Jiang An immediately became lively, and they all spoke in favor, anyway, it's none of their business, let them fight by themselves.
"It is natural to divide three more cities to Zhenyuan City, but for such a big matter, Jiang Daoyou needs to go to the inner realm to get support from above, otherwise it will not be easy to do."
Yue Manzi on the side said softly.
"Jiang knows it in his heart, Yue Daoyou can rest assured"
Jiang An smiled slightly, looking confident, cutting off Gecheng's flesh was only the first step, he wanted the world to know what kind of fate would happen if he went against Zhenyuan City and was embarrassed by the alien race!
