Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the end, there were only about 30 bases that were invited to send a mission to the capital, and the other bases were either unable to come or ignored the invitation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past five days, Zhou Xiaoning has also walked around the capital. Although the protection of the capital today has left an area within the fourth ring road, because there are ten bases on the periphery to guard together, there is no shadow of the catastrophe in the capital, and the common people are still living a life similar to the original.

It's just that I don't know how long this calm will last.

Don't look at the four great families who seem to be a harmonious group on the surface, but in the world, they all have plans to annex the other three parties. The strength of the Zhao family is the strongest, the Wang family is second, the gap between the strength of the two families is not very large, if the Zhao family makes a move on the Wang family, even if it can win, it will only end up with a big injury in the end, but it will cheapen the remaining two, so before complete preparation, the Zhao family and the Wang family will not do it.

As the weaker two of the four major families, the Sun family and the Qian family could not compete with the Zhao family and the Wang family, so the two of them chose to form an alliance, so that they had the strength to compete with one family.

It can be said that today's capital is maintained with this delicate balance. This relationship is so fragile that it only takes a strong enough external force to pluck it a little bit, and it will break with the tight strings.

And as one of the few forces qualified to become an "external force", in the past five days, the people of the four great families have not bothered him less. In the end, Zhou Xiaoning couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply closed the door and thanked the guests, even if he went out, he had to use the transformation technique to change his appearance first, so that he stopped a little.

But there are some things that should come and still come.

On the evening of the fifth day, the welcome dinner was held as scheduled, and Zhou Xiaoning was naturally on the list of invitees. In addition to getting to know each other, this dinner is also a time to stand in line. Nominally, of course, a strategic alliance.

Don't underestimate such a strategic alliance, you must know that since everyone present has the ability to reach the capital across multiple regions, it is completely feasible for so many parties to work together to open up a trade road and exchange what they have. After all, not all bases can be like the Two Realms City, you can go to other worlds to obtain resources, each base has its own specialties, but also has its own shortcomings, if you can form a long-term trade, sell your own specialties, buy what you lack, it will have a great role in promoting the development of the base.

In addition, in times of calamity, who can guarantee that their base will never be breached, and when it comes to a real crisis, the benefits of having powerful allies are highlighted. Because of this, most bases are willing to form alliances, but due to geographical location and various reasons in the distribution of interests, the choices made are different.

Today, there are only six bases left that have not explicitly joined the side. What do the other five bases think, Zhou Xiaoning doesn't want to pay attention to it, anyway, he won't join this kind of alliance that is almost a vassal and the four great families, he is not rejecting the alliance, but just wants an equal status.

"Hmph, that's boring."

Zhou Xiaoning sat in a remote corner with a cocktail, and he cast an illusion around him, which could make people subconsciously ignore him, after all, he was too lazy to accompany those people to flatter.

"Why is my brother sitting here alone? But don't think the dinner party is good enough? ”

Sun Cheng walked straight over, after all, Zhou Xiaoning's illusion knowledge reduced his sense of existence, and it was not completely invisible, if someone wanted to find him, they could also find it.

This time the Sun family's operation to recruit other bases did not go well, a total of more than 30 bases, only six bases clearly expressed their willingness to form an alliance with the Sun family, and three bases had an ambiguous and ambiguous attitude, and seemed to be still waiting.

The situation of the Qian family is similar, and there are only five bases that have really reached a strategic alliance.

In contrast, the Zhao family and the Wang family were definitely the big winners this time, and they both recruited ten bases to join their strategic alliance.

Seeing that the strength of the Zhao and Wang families has skyrocketed again, even if they join forces with the Qian family, there is a faint truth that cannot be suppressed, which makes Sun Cheng see it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart. He went to find Zhou Xiaoning with the mentality of giving it a try, he always felt that Zhou Xiaoning, and even his Two Realms City, was not simple, if he could win it over, it would be a great help to the Sun family.

"It's too noisy over there, and I have a headache after staying for a long time, but it's better here, it's clean."

Sun Cheng took good care of himself and others in these five days, as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Sun Cheng didn't come over, since he found it, Zhou Xiaoning would not look at him coldly.

"My brother is very capable, and my brother admires it."

Sun Cheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, but he saw a person passing by him, but as if he hadn't noticed him, he walked straight over. This is very abnormal, you must know that he is also the eldest young master of the Sun family, the future head of the Sun family, and when he sees him, he will change his greetings with reason, instead of thinking about the current situation and turning a blind eye.

In this way, there is only one conclusion, that is, Zhou Xiaoning's ghost. The strength of the people present is not weak, but Zhou Xiaoning was able to hide from so many people, which shows that his strength is strong.

"It's just a fantasy, it's just a small skill of carving insects."

Zhou Xiaoning said very calmly, compared to his big moves, illusions are indeed not worth mentioning, of course, if it is replaced by super illusions such as Moon Reading, Izanagi, and Izanami, it will be another matter.

"Hahaha, my brother is too modest, you make my brother very ashamed." Sun Cheng laughed self-deprecatingly, and at the same time raised his glass and touched Zhou Xiaoning.

Taking a sip of wine, the smile on Sun Cheng's face was closed, and he decided to get to the point: "Brother, my brother will be honest with you." Now the four major families in the capital, my Sun family and the Qian family are weak, although the two families join forces, they are not afraid of the Zhao family and the Wang family, but with the formation of the strategic alliance, the disadvantages of our two families are becoming more and more serious, so my brother implores you, join our alliance, with your strength, you can definitely let us win back a city. ”

"Brother Sun, since you have said so, I will not lose face. But I hope that we are in a cooperative relationship, not vassal. ”

"Of course, of course, once we form an alliance, we will all be friends, where there will be any difference between up and down, you think too much."

Sun Cheng's words seemed to be comforting Zhou Xiaoning, but both of them knew that once the alliance was reached, the internal right to speak would still be determined according to their respective strengths, the stronger the strength, the more effective the words were, and on the contrary, they would be regarded as deaf ears.

Zhou Xiaoning is very confident in the power of the Two Realms City, and there may be some gaps compared to the Zhao family and the Wang family, but it is still no problem to single out the Sun family or the Qian family, after all, he also has two bases, and it is no worse than the Sun family and the Qian family.

"I hope Brother Sun can remember what he said today."

"So, you agreed?"

"Hmm."

Zhou Xiaoning nodded and agreed. Anyway, the Two Realms City also needs some allies, rather than choosing those families that don't understand, it is better to choose to form an alliance with the Sun family, anyway, Sun Cheng is also his acquaintance, if there is any dispute, it is better to solve it through him.

"That's great, let's go, come with me and get to know the allies of the Alliance."

Sun Cheng's face bloomed with joy, and he immediately pulled Zhou Xiaoning towards the small group belonging to the Sun and Qian families.

At this time, the entire banquet hall can basically be divided into three groups, led by the Zhao family, the Wang family, and Sun Qian. And around them are the representatives of the base who have chosen to ally with them.

And when Sun Cheng took Zhou Xiaoning to pass by the periphery of the Wang family's group, he was suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute."

Wang Hao originally attended this dinner on behalf of the Wang family, he just persuaded four bases to join the alliance of the Wang family, and now the number of allies of the Wang family is the largest among the four major families, I believe that this time I will go, and I will definitely be rewarded by the head of the family.

And at this moment, the fragments of the life card on Wang Hao's body began to glow red. You must know that this life card fragment is from Wang Yu's life card, after Wang Yu's death, his life card cracked, Wang Zhenxing immediately smashed the life card into more than a dozen pieces, and handed them over to the trustworthy clansmen, so that they could find the murderer who killed Wang Yu. As long as the murderer is within a hundred meters of the Destiny Fragment, the Destiny Fragment will glow, just like now.

"Wang Hao, don't be rude to our Sun family's guests!"

Sun Cheng saw that Wang Hao stopped Zhou Xiaoning, and knew that there must be something here, but he now represents the face of the Sun family, Zhou Xiaoning just agreed to join their Sun family's alliance, if Wang Hao makes it difficult at this time, then where will their Sun family's face go?

"Sun Cheng, I advise you to get out of the way, this is a grudge between our Wang family and this kid, don't meddle in your affairs."

A trace of disdain flashed in Wang Hao's eyes, he admitted that Sun Cheng's talent was very good, and with the advanced exercises and cultivation resources provided by the Sun family, he had raised his strength to the fourth-order level in less than a year. But at most, that's it, if you are not the chosen one, it will be difficult to break through the bottleneck, which is the sadness of ordinary people.

"I don't care what grievances there are between your Wang family and my brother, today I will protect him."

Sun Cheng stood in front of Wang Hao and released his momentum to press him.

Wang Hao is also at the level of the fourth order, no worse than Sun Cheng, and immediately released his divine sense and confronted Sun Cheng-for-tat.

Seeing that there was movement here, the Qian family, who had always been in the same advance and retreat with the Sun family, hurriedly rushed over and stood with Sun Cheng to show their support for Sun Cheng.

"Sun Cheng, Qian Hao, very good, today's is, our Wang family is not finished."

Although Wang Hao is not afraid of Sun Cheng, Qian Hao makes him jealous, you must know that Qian Hao's strength has reached the fifth order, and the natural skill Zhenshan Palm is even more powerful, even Wang Yu does not dare to say that he will win without secret moves, let alone him Wang Hao.

Although Wang Hao was disappointed that he failed to catch Zhou Xiaoning, it was also a great achievement to find the murderer who killed Wang Yu, and it was not too late to report today's humiliation in the future.
