Chapter 625: Crisis

After more than ten days of sailing, Chen Tianci and his party finally came to a deep-sea town closest to Zijin City. www.biquge.info This is a recently built transit town.

After the collapse of the Zijin City-State, the army of the original Zijin City-State was also divided, some followed the Xincheng-State, and some pulled up the team and went it alone.

They kept blaming each other, saying that it was the other party's cause that the good Zijin city-state fell apart. It's a lot of noise, and there will be a few fights.

Therefore, in the vast sea area centered on the Purple City, there has been a long period of war. The people living in this area suffered terribly, and the city-states were affected as a result.

Economic development has suffered setbacks to varying degrees.

Purple City was originally a big city of consumption. Originally, small and medium-sized cities in the Zijin City-State relied on consumption to drive economic growth, but since their independence, this internal demand for consumption-driven economic growth has become import and export trade, which not only increases tariffs, but also affects the war from time to time.

In the face of a sharp economic downturn, the city-states continued to be financially strained. The battle at the front was a cannon fire and a thousand taels of gold, but the rear was in danger of running out of the treasury.

Both the Purple City and the other city-states began to compromise after realizing this problem. However, for the sake of their own interests, each city-state did not want to hand over the dominance to a single city, which led to the establishment of a large number of neutral trade transit cities.

In addition to Tianci and the others, what they have now arrived at is one of the many trading towns built near the Purple City. It is a small town built on a relatively low submarine hill.

From afar, Chen Tianci saw the general appearance of the town through an external monitor. It covers an area of only a few hundred acres and has a triangular shape as a whole. The location of each triangular tip is a port terminal in and out.

This is very different from most deep-sea cities that are built in circles. Maybe it's because it's limited by the terrain, Chen Tianci thought so, and drove the deep-sea flying boat slowly into the nearest port.

On the wharf, the docking position of the ship is neatly planned. The berthing position that Chen Tianci received was a berthing dock located on the innermost side. He drove the flying boat to the designated area and slowly entered the port.

Before the ship could come to a stop, a large number of warships suddenly appeared outside the aquifer in the distance. The warships came from three directions and met not far from the town, and a great battle broke out.

Ion cannons, ray guns, laser beams dance around the sea. From time to time, a battleship was hit, and then it was carried headlong towards the small city below. The people of the town fled in terror.

The various flying boats quickly left the harbor and fled quickly towards the distant sea.

Chen Tianci did not leave. Both his and Ye Luoqiu's faces were very ugly. Because many of the warships in the melee were the warships of Zijin City, and the situation seemed to be that several parties would attack the Zijin City fleet.

More and more battleships were wounded. Many warships were badly wounded and entered the small city to repair them. Among them, the battleships of Purple City occupy a large part.

It is also strange to say that the fleets of all parties, which were fighting fiercely outside, became honest after entering this small city. Chen Tianci suddenly discovered that no matter how fierce the battleships fought and how fierce the battle was, all the artillery fire seemed to avoid the location of this small city.

And the small city side even added a few more energy shields to the aqueduct at the moment when the battle broke out at the beginning. The city's electricity facilities were even interrupted for a while before power was restored.

"It seems that the situation in Zijin City is really not optimistic." Chen Tianci said.

He didn't expect that in just a few years, Purple City would become the situation it is today. A huge city-state not only fell apart, but was also suppressed by the union of independent city-states.

When Chen Tianci thought of this, guilt suddenly flashed in his heart. He had personally promised Long Bixin that he would do his best to help Shen Ziyi after Shen Ziyi came to power, but he broke his promise.

All this, although there is a plan of the Ferris Sect in it, there is also Chen Tianci's responsibility. If he had clarified the misunderstanding earlier, if he had been able to pay more attention, and even if he had been able to continue to help Shen Ziyi secretly, maybe it would not be the current situation.

But now, it's too late to say anything, the only thing Chen Tianci has to do now is to clarify the misunderstanding between him and Shen Ziyi, and remove the nasty instruction in Shen Ziyi's body, so that it can't continue to make trouble.

Only in that way can Chen Tianci help Shen Ziyi again without any worries, and can he help Shen Ziyi stabilize the current situation to the greatest extent. He believed he could have that ability.

As long as he can clear up the misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianci glanced back at his back. Shen Yun stood silently behind him. Since the outbreak of the big war outside Xiaocheng, Shen Yun has been standing silently behind Chen Tianci.

His brow furrowed, staring at the image displayed on the external display. The Zijin warships were surrounded by the coalition forces of many city-states, and they were defeated one after another.

When Chen Tianci looked over, Shen Yun also happened to look at Chen Tianci. He frowned and asked, "Is the current situation in Purple City so unfavorable?" ”

Chen Tianci shook his head slightly. "To be honest, I didn't expect the current situation in Purple City to be like this. When I was forced to leave, the strength of Zijin City was still very strong. At that time, many cities were said to have declared their independence, but the situation was far from deteriorating. ”

"So, it's only been the last few years?" Shen Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chen Tianci looked at Ye Luoqiu. The situation in Zijin City has always been followed up by Ye Luoqiu, what happened and what happened, only Ye Luoqiu knows here.

Ye Luoqiu was slightly silent for a while, and said: "Soon after Ziyi took power, because he was too tough, he was opposed by many elders within Zijin City. They formed a cabinet and forced Ziyi to hand over the power in his hands. ”

"There is such a thing!" Chen Tianci and Shen Yun were shocked at the same time.

Ye Luoqiu nodded slightly. "Many of the cabinet members are veterans in Zijin City, and they are quite influential in various industries. Except for Tang Lao, who strongly supported Shen Ziyi, the rest of the elders were almost one-sided against Ziyi's continued rule. At one point, the two sides were at a stalemate. In order to stabilize the situation, Ziyi had to compromise with them. ”

"What did she compromise?" Chen Tianci asked. Shen Yun also looked concerned.

"Her pattern is very similar to yours, except that she is forced, and most of the military power is surrendered." Ye Luoqiu glanced at Chen Tianci and said.

This news surprised Chen Tianci and Shen Yun at the same time.
