Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes are created in the times.

If in the era of peace, or in the normal era, a powerhouse in the Holy Domain like Zhao Zhongtian is certainly the backbone of the country, but it is impossible for him to be held in such a high position.

The deputy lord of the city, including five hundred guards (the relevant expenses are paid by the public treasury), this condition is proposed by three neighbors;

The title of Marquis of the City (enjoying the relevant treatment of the former Marquis of Qingwu Kingdom) can be the head of any department of the City Lord's Mansion, and this condition is proposed by the five neighbors.

It can be said that either of these two conditions is enough to make people's hearts move, not to mention that these damned neighbors have almost all promised other riches that are hard to refuse, such as sacrifices, top sacrifices.

The five neighbors of Maple Leaf City were generous, generously giving away things equivalent to two top-level sacrifices, and those who were not so generous also took out things equivalent to ten first-class sacrifices.

Produced by the temple, it must be a high-quality product.

A top-level sacrifice can also be exchanged for at least two pieces of legendary equipment, and if it is Sanctuary equipment, it will start at least twenty pieces.

It can be said that don't look at these families in Maple Leaf City, they seem to be coaxing, but they don't say that they are top-level sacrifices, even if they are first-level sacrifices, most of the families have been saving for several years.

For the sake of Zhao Zhongtian, the neighbors of Maple Leaf City are really out of the way.

"What are they doing here?" Shi Guanglun was incredulous, "With such a big price, just for a Zhao Zhongtian, are they crazy?" ”

"They are not crazy," Ling Wuxiao's eyes were complicated, "Their condition will only be given to Zhao Zhongtian, no matter whether Zhao Zhongtian eventually joins them or not, their goal has been achieved, this is a golden bone, it is really a good calculation." ”

Sun Yuanzheng was stunned for a few seconds. The gaze was complicated: "Brother Ling means that their target is not necessarily Zhao Tianlun, their target may be other Sacred Domain powerhouses?" ”

"That's right," Ling Wuxiao nodded, "As long as this news gets out, I believe the news has already spread." These five cities will definitely reinterpret Zhao Zhongtian's role in the Battle of the Temple Castle in Maple Leaf City, these cities propose to recruit Zhao Zhongtian's treatment, or recruit other strong people's treatment, think about it, how many Sacred Domain powerhouses will be tempted, how many cultivators will be tempted? ”

Not to mention other people, even if they are here, at a certain moment, they have been moved.

"It shouldn't be that simple." Tao Kun shook his head and looked at Niu Han, "Lord Niu, the news of Wanshan Pawnshop is relatively well-informed, you have been with Zhao Zhongtian today, I don't know if there is any information about the legendary powerhouse Tianluo?" ”

What the?

Tianluo?

Tao Kun's words surprised everyone, and their hearts sank together, could it be. Tianluo is back?

If that's the case, then the cities of Iron Rock City will pay such a big price. It's understandable, after all, it's a legendary powerhouse, a strong man in the town.

"Ever since Tianluo was forced into the Void, he has lost his message," Niu Han shook his head, "at least." I didn't hear anything about Tianluo. ”

"As for Zhao Zhongtian, hehe," Niu Han pouted, "Zhao Zhongtian didn't mention these aspects to me, and I estimate that Zhao Zhongtian may not have any recent information about Tianluo." ”

"Forget it." Tao Kun waved his hand, "The question before us now is what price we need to pay if we want to keep Zhao Zhongtian. ”

"First of all, what we need to be sure of is that Zhao Zhongtian can't go." Tao Kun thought for a while, and before the others could speak, he made a final decision, "Otherwise, if Zhao Zhongtian leaves Maple Leaf City on the occasion of a great victory, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of our Maple Leaf City." ”

It's not just fatal, it's devastating.

Tao Kun's words resonated a little in everyone's hearts, no matter how much Zhao Zhongtian played a role in this temple incident, but its role is obvious to all, after all, there are still many people who understand, even if they didn't understand it at the time, they can figure it out afterwards.

If one of the heroes of the Maple Leaf City disaster actually abandoned Maple Leaf City, the consequences are really too serious-

Or, it is suspected that Maple Leaf City suppressed the heroes, and there were many shady scenes, and they lost the support of the people;

Or, it would be even worse to suspect that Maple Leaf City has no future and is doomed to destruction.

"That's all there is to the cake in Maple Leaf City," Chen Zhaozhong, the head of the Chen family, frowned, "Leaving Zhao Zhongtian, we must have sincerity, and this sincerity cannot be lower than that of other cities, otherwise even if we can keep people, we won't be able to keep our hearts." ”

"Hehe," Ling Wuxiao smiled, "The Chen family master is too worried, I believe that Lord Zhao will not leave our Maple Leaf City." ”

Well?

In the conference room, everyone looked at Ling Wuxiao's gaze a little wrong, full of incomprehensible meaning.

Ling Wuxiao's ability to obtain a relatively transcendent status in Maple Leaf City is related to Ling Wuxiao's strength, and it is also related to the rumors of the Ling family, which is rumored to be proficient in divination and has the ability to see through the future......

It's better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't have.

Now, Ling Wuxiao said so, could it be said that Ling Wuxiao could really see through Zhao Zhongtian's next decision?

"It's just a heart-to-heart." Ling Wuxiao was taken aback by the eyes of these guys, and hurriedly explained, "Taking our Maple Leaf City as an example, there are still fights between families, nobles and nobles, and commoners and commoners, how can other cities not have them?" ”

"If I were Zhao Zhongtian, before the catastrophe came, I would not leave Maple Leaf City, a city that already has a certain foundation, and go to another city to work hard again." Ling Wuxiao realized everyone's worries, and at the same time felt funny in his heart, he was also a little vigilant, "After all, there are different circles of interest in any city, as a newcomer, even if Zhao Zhongtian has the confidence to break through the world, he doesn't have enough time to do it. ”

In the end, Ling Wuxiao concluded: "If I were Zhao Zhongtian, I would never be so unwise. ”

It sounded very reasonable, but Tao Kun and the others understood that even so, they couldn't do nothing, waiting for Zhao Zhongtian to show his dedication to benefiting others without self-interest.

"The deputy city lord of Maple Leaf City," Tao Kun smiled bitterly, "It seems that this position must be given to Zhao Zhongtian." ”

"But aren't we running a governance committee?" Chen Zhaozhong was curious.

"The city lord and deputy city lord are responsible to the governance committee," Tao Kun nodded, "As for the governance committee, they are responsible to the council, and they are in mutual supervision. It should be possible to ensure relative fairness and justice, and make sure that our Maple Leaf City will not be destroyed by civil strife. ”

"There is one city lord and two deputy city lords," Sun Yuanzheng took out their plan on behalf of the preparatory team, "There are five members of the governance committee, and when there are differences of opinion on a certain plan. The principle of minority subordination to majority should be adopted, which can be implemented with the consent of four people. ”

"It's the violence of the majority." Shi Guanglun snorted, "The violence of the majority is still a dictatorship. ”

Tao Kun's face was gloomy: "Master Shi, it is impossible for a perfect thing to exist; There is no absolute fairness and justice; Our goal is for the benefit of Maple City as a whole, not for the benefit of anyone in Maple City, so. If you really can't accept it, then you have to accept it, because you have no way back now, and we have no way back either. ”

It is indeed possible to withdraw without an oath; But after the oath, there can be no withdrawal, which has been agreed upon by all.

……

"In fact, we don't have a choice."

Day 2. While the family was having breakfast, Zhao Tianlun asked Zhao Zhongtian about his decision. Zhao Zhongtian replied helplessly.

"Maple Leaf City is a bit of a leaky ship, but other cities are also leaky ships, and there is no difference in nature." Zhao Tianlun explained to Zhao Tianlun in a helpless tone, "But Dad, I am at least familiar with the broken ship of Maple Leaf City, and I also have my own circle on this broken ship, so I rashly joined another broken ship." There is no benefit other than making things worse for us. ”

Zhao Tianlun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really a little worried that Zhao Zhongtian would not be able to resist the temptation and join other cities.

The name of the deputy city lord sounds loud, but no one below listens to you at the time. What is the deputy city lord?

The staff officer doesn't fart without a commander, not to mention that it's still a deputy, a deputy who has parachuted in.

If Zhao Zhongtian has the strength of a legendary powerhouse, then Zhao Tianlun is not worried, after all, strength determines everything, but the problem is that Zhao Zhongtian is only a holy domain, and although the powerhouses of the holy domain are rare, they cannot become a decisive force.

"If I am given enough time to my father, even if it is only for half a year," Zhao Zhongtian still regretted, "Then Daddy, I will choose to leave Maple Leaf City and break into another world, but I don't have this time." ”

The matter of the God of Courage sleeping is now estimated to have spread throughout the entire Rock Plane, and even now the flames of war may have been ignited in the Rock Plane, but because they are at the bottom, they are not aware of it, but they have already felt the chaos in the Qingwu Kingdom. Otherwise, there would not have been the arrival of envoys from the five cities.

"Since you have no intention of choosing these cities, Dad," Zhao Tianlun pointed to the special gifts and gift lists piled up on the side, "Then these things ......"

"Where you come from, you can go wherever you go," Zhao Zhongtian looked at Gris and Mao Jingkai who were eating on the side, and smiled, "Grace, Mao Jingkai, today I will trouble you to join me in presenting these gifts to the Lord." ”

Geris and Mao Jingkai hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and respectfully received orders from Zhao Zhongtian.

Zhao Mansion is not without people, but since Zhao Zhongtian does not plan to leave, and Gris and Mao Jingkai have the heart to take refuge, then these labors do not need to be used in vain.

What's more, although Zhao Zhongtian was willing to stay in Maple Leaf City, it didn't mean that he didn't have other ideas.

"In that case," Zhao Tianlun thought for a while, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later, Dad, then just go back as soon as possible, so as not to make the Tao City Lord worried." ”

"It's okay," Zhao Zhongtian nodded, "Only by deciding earlier can we reflect our sincerity, show our determination, and also contribute to the stability of Maple Leaf City." ”

Whether to do it or not is a matter of stance, but when to do it is a matter of attitude.

If Zhao Zhongtian didn't want to disappoint the hearts of the people of Maple Leaf City, and didn't want to make the powerhouses of Maple City feel guilty, the sooner this matter was resolved, the better.

"The lord decided earlier to dispel the influence of these cities," Gris agreed with Zhao Tianlun's suggestion, "If we delay it too late, maybe the conspiracy of these cities will really succeed." ”

Although Maple Leaf City is located in a remote area, there are not many strong people in the Holy Domain, but there are still warriors and mages who are not weak, before Maple Leaf City has not torn its face with these cities, if someone is attracted by the treatment of these cities to leave Maple Leaf City, it will be more or less troublesome, after all, the flow of personnel and the number of cultivators will affect the overall strength of Maple Leaf City.

In fact, the influence of the Qianjin City Bone has already appeared, and it has already caused fluctuations in the hearts of the people in Maple Leaf City.

"Sir, will you leave us?"

"Sir, you can't go."

"Sir, our Maple Leaf City is no worse than any city, really."

The carriage was traveling in Maple Leaf City, and Zhao Tianlun found that after yesterday's temple incident had been brewed and reflected, Zhao Zhongtian's performance in this crisis had begun to spread.

What was also spread was the invitation and attention of these five cities to Zhao Zhongtian, and the shocking treatment that these five cities promised to Zhao Zhongtian.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is the impetus of the five good neighbors in Maple Leaf City, and even the promotion of it himself.

Anything that can add to the blockage of Maple Leaf City and affect the stability of Maple Leaf City, for these friendly neighbors of Maple City, it is better to do than not to do nothing.

If Maple Leaf City is really demoralized because of this, it will not only reduce or even eliminate the threat from Maple Leaf City for them, but even give them an excellent opportunity to annex Maple Leaf City.

Squirrels need to store food for the winter, so these cities also need to strengthen their strength in order to meet the catastrophe. It could even be argued that annexing neighbors is a way for these cities to store their food for the winter.

However, it is now the eve of the storm's fall, and before the first drop of rain falls, no one knows how big this storm will be and how big it will be.

Zhao Zhongtian opened the window of the carriage and repeatedly explained his decision to the citizens of Maple Leaf City who were questioning, but there were too many people who were worried about the future of Maple Leaf City, and there were too many people who were worried about Zhao Zhongtian's departure, so that before he had gone half the way, Zhao Zhongtian had already explained that the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was distorted.

It's really tiring and torturous to say it over and over again.

"Image, keep the image," Zhao Tianlun sat in the carriage, and saw that Zhao Zhongtian was showing signs of madness, so he hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Dad, the current Maple Leaf City is your stage, even if you don't intend to use this stage, at least you can't let your image drop points." ”

Zhao Zhongtian glanced at Zhao Tianlun sadly and sighed, the image thing is really useless to him, but the image is very important to Zhao Tianlun.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes.

Zhao Zhongtian didn't want to bring reputation loss to Zhao Tianlun because of his carelessness.

Just when Zhao Zhongtian was pressing his heart and feeling anxious, the sound of horses' hooves came from the side, listening to his voice, the sound of horses' hooves came from the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Zhongtian's heart moved......

Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion has already made up its mind, and I don't know what kind of conditions Tao Kun will propose. (To be continued.) )
