Chapter 61: Temptation at a Banquet
Bestenjin took Izanagi, Izanami, and other elders, and rushed all the way to Zhonghai City.
When everyone walked into the hustle and bustle of Zhonghai City, a few streets away, a black castle standing on a hill appeared in view, the castle was shrouded in red light, with the protection of an enchantment. The castle is called Huangquan Castle, and the mountain is called Huangquan Mountain, and several streets surrounding the vicinity are all named after Huangquan.
Hotels, casinos, material stores, all kinds of shops...... The entire two streets are all the property of the Huangquan mercenaries.
Don't be a god frowned, it's also a mercenary group, this is too big.
Amaterasu whispered, "The Huangquan mercenaries started much higher than us, and if they continue to develop, I'm afraid the distance will get bigger and bigger." β
Don't know what to think in your heart: "Remember, be humble. Saying this, his eyes flickered a few times, "I have studied Zhang Mu for many days, and we are humble and gentle, so he will not get along with us." β
Amaterasu straightened up: "Yes! β
A group of people ascended to the castle.
In the hall of the castle, the big names of the Huangquan mercenaries arrived. Zhang Mu and Lei Ming are the leaders, Ye Qianqiu, Scorpion, Leng Yun, Lin Caiyan, Fat Man, Mourning Dog, Du Rongrong, as well as Qin Xiaoshi and Chen Tingting, who broke through yesterday...... All the powerhouses of the Heavenly Spirit Realm!
The mercenaries of the gods were completely shocked.
Don't be very confident in your team, the gap between the gods mercenary group and the Huangquan mercenary group should only be in terms of treatment and industry, and now the idea has been completely subverted, the entire elder group of the Huangquan mercenaries is a heavenly spirit powerhouse, and the number is three or four times that of the gods mercenaries!
This mercenary group is too strong!
The other gods didn't know that there was an alchemy master in Huangquan, and there was a material channel in the mysterious store, so he could refine the Heavenly Pill on a large scale, so that the number of Heavenly Spirit powerhouses exceeded that of the same strength by three or four times. The gods mercenary group also has some trump cards at the bottom of the box, but they will not be used easily, and they are naturally far inferior to the Huangquan mercenaries.
Don't take a step forward, arch your hands, and don't have time to speak.
"Good meat!"
"It's good meat!"
The fat man was eating and drinking, and yelling.
Before the banquet started, the other gods were not seated, and the fat man and Du Rongrong ate and drank first, which was undoubtedly disrespectful.
Thunder will rebuke them.
Zhang Mu smiled slightly, not only didn't care at all, but waved his hand to the guards next to him and said, "It's really useless, take down a few portions of flying dragon meat that I cooked with my own hands." β
"Yes!"
The two mercenaries went down with the meat in their hands.
The other gods stood stupidly in the center of the main hall, completely ignored, and several elders were also very embarrassed.
Zhang Mu saw that the wine and meat were delivered to the fat man and Du Rongrong's table, so he paid attention to a few people, waved his hand and said, "You can find a place to sit at will." β
Lei Ming didn't understand very much: "Wood, what's the matter with you......"
Zhang Mu waved his hand, his gaze fell on His Highness, and he glanced at other gods. When the two look at each other, they discover something in each other's eyes.
Zhang Mu only knew at a glance that Bei Tianshen was a ruthless character, and he would not be humble on the surface, let alone really grovel to anyone. There is a person who is very similar to his eyes, although this person is dead, he has left a deep impression on Zhang Mu - Du Rongrong's uncle Du Yunfeng, a kind of character who can be called a hero.
Such a person may be able to cooperate, but even if he dies, he will not be conquered.
The head of Huangquan is unbelievably young, but other gods dare not underestimate Zhang Mu, Huangquan mercenaries do not have a few simple roles, he can lead such a team to this day, he must be a great figure. Moreover, other gods found that Zhang Mu was very young, but there was something in his eyes that ordinary people did not have, and it was an amazingly keen insight.
"Thank you!"
Betianjin politely retreated to the right side, a little gray and slippery, he sat in the first seat, Izanami, Izanagi, and lined up in turn.
Such a scene is quite like the state banquet of the ancient emperor, Zhang Mu is a young emperor, Lei Ming is the prime minister, sitting in the nearest position, the left side of the hall is the important ministers and generals of the court, and the right side is the envoys of other countries who come to pay tribute. After the two sides sat down, they looked at each other's figures.
Ye Qianqiu first looked at the other gods, and then felt a burning gaze, his gaze immediately moved away, and fell on Izanagi next to him, the eyes of the two were strikingly similar, as sharp as a goshawk, and as fierce as a tiger, full of aggression.
"Huh......"
Ye Qianqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, don't know if the gods are powerful, this Izanagi is a good opponent!
Izanami's gaze fell on an ordinary young man who was silent on the other side, but the scorpion didn't look at her, and looked at the wine glass with no unusual expression. The two had fought each other, but Izanami wasn't sure if the powerful killer who appeared that night was the person in front of him.
The banquet begins.
Zhang Mu only cared about drinking and laughing with the fat people.
Lei Ming really couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an opportunity to pull Zhang Mu to the back of the hall and asked, "Wood, what's wrong with you?" β
"Don't have a problem with the gods."
"What did you say?"
"Don't you see? I'm trying him! β
"Try? But you're insulting them. β
Zhang Mu smiled faintly and said, "What kind of person do you think the other gods are?" How could a person who has come to this day and commanded a strong regiment be so humble and gentle? His strength is about the same as mine, and I've been suspicious since I brought back the relevant information. There are many ways for him to get rid of the official oppression of Kuroshio City, and groveling to us is the next step. After today's events, I'm even more sure, don't have a problem with the gods? β
"How so?"
"There are a lot of pictures, so I can bear it!"
Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little suddenly realized.
There are a lot of pictures, so I can bear it!
Zhang Mu intentionally or unintentionally stimulated other gods, and even had an obvious insulting nature.
If the other gods were angry on the spot, or showed the normal reaction they should have, Zhang Mu might have made amends, and the result would not be the same as now. Because other gods are too tolerant, Zhang Mu tried to provoke him several times, but not only could he bear it, but his subordinates were very tolerant.
This person, there is a problem. He approached the Huangquan mercenaries, I'm afraid there was a purpose!
"What is he trying to do?"
"I don't know, but Lao Hei, you have been with me for so long, you should understand me." Zhang Mu patted Lei Ming's shoulder, "Believe me, I will be measured." β
"Okay!"
The two returned to the main hall.
Another feast of wine and meat.
Bei Tianshen found an opportunity to stand up and say to Zhang Mu: "The head of the regiment is the governor of the China Maritime Investigation Bureau, and he is also the special envoy of the Provincial Investigation Bureau, I wonder if you can help and break the current predicament for the gods and mercenaries?" β
"I've heard a little about the mercenaries of the gods. Although I was entrusted by the Wind Chaser Sage to serve as a special envoy for investigation, I was able to investigate some matters beyond my authority, but externally and internally, the supervision power should be in the hands of the Ministry of Law. Besides, Chila is not a big deal, you are the lord of a city, even if there is a special envoy of the Supreme Court Department, there is no reason to do anything to him. β
The main task of the Bureau of Investigation is external.
In the area of urban internal management, the Investigation Bureau is out of control, and only then can the Ministry of Justice exercise its supervisory power. The military, finance, and legal departments of Kuroshio City are all descendants of Chila, and such a dictatorship cannot be shaken.
Even if Zhang Mu pulls Chi La down from the position of city lord, the three departments and nine bureaus cannot be eliminated, even if the grass is eradicated and completely eliminated, the Green Alliance will send other city lords to take office. As long as someone in Kuroshio City is the city lord, the human race is a big threat to seize power and divide power, and the life of the gods and mercenaries will not be easy.
Zhang Mu suddenly made a suggestion: "To tell you the truth, the governor has given me an important task. If you are willing to join us, complete the mission, build great achievements, and be praised by the governor, you do not need to be afraid of Chila. β
"What is the mission?" The other gods hastened and said, "I will do everything I can!" β
Zhang Mu did not move his expression to exert his mind control, hoping to eavesdrop on some special news from the hearts of other gods. What Zhang Mu didn't expect was that there was no special secret in the heart of the other gods, or that this person was quite cautious and did not put important ideas on the surface, so that Zhang Mu could not read them at all.
Mind mastery can only read the most active thoughts, and is therefore easily deceived or concealed.
The rest of the mercenaries were unusual.
"Within the jurisdiction of Shanghai, it is said that a strange treasure has been unearthed." Zhang Mu said slowly: "It is said to be a piece of thunder god wood that has grown for tens of thousands of years, it is an A-level material, and it has great power. Once we get it, we will definitely have great benefits. β
Betianjin cautiously asked, "Is this related to the governor's mission?" β
Zhang Mu smiled: "Naturally, it has a relationship." β
Don't hesitate: "Okay, count me in!" β
"If there are all the mercenaries of the gods, we will naturally be strengthened." Zhang Mu was halfway through speaking, and then said: "However, I have to warn one thing in advance, this task may be dangerous. β
βweishenmeοΌβ
"If something happens to Shenmu, the news will spread. The people who want to get it are not only us, but also some other hidden mysterious shili, even including the natives, and even the West Sea has some movements. In this scramble, there is a chance that there will be a dispute. β
"Haha...... Who has survived to this day who has not experienced a hundred battles? The mercenaries of the gods below themselves, no one will be afraid of battle! β
Zhang Mu stood up: "Since this is the case, we will do it together, and after the matter is completed, you will have a share of the credit!" I will take the opportunity to speak for you in the main city, with the protection of the main city, even if there is shili in the place, Chira will not dare to touch you easily! β
Lei Ming became more and more incomprehensible, this was Zhang Mu's deliberate arrangement.
Zhang Mu doesn't trust other gods at all, since he doesn't trust them at all, weishenme wants to invite other gods to participate in the mission? Did he deliberately create an illusion to make other gods think that Zhang Mu trusted him, or did he have other plans?
Don't be a god who is about to speak.
"Commander, something happened in the mine!" A Huangquan mercenary rushed into the main hall and half-knelt down under His Highness: "The mine cave has been attacked by the natives!" β
"The pit?"
Zhang Mu was shocked.
Lei Ming was also surprised.
This is really not Zhang Mu's arrangement, the pit is really in trouble!
Zhang Mu hurriedly contacted the scout bug.
The mine where the Aurora is located is surrounded by a large group of natives, including some familiar faces, such as the Black Elves. There are no black elves among the natives of Xihai Province, and nine times out of ten, the black elf clan is the remnants of the Black Horn mercenaries of the Embarrassment.
Could it be that it was discovered that the pit was very important to Huangquan, so the attack on the pit was launched?
Inside the mine there are large piles of corpses that have not completed the ritual.
Secrets can't be divulged!
"Lao Hei stayed to accompany the head of the Celestial Gods." Zhang Mu stood up, "The others follow me!" β
Don't be a god and hurriedly said, "Someone dares to challenge Huangquan? Huang Quan helped the gods mercenaries in Black Tide City, and this time the gods were willing to take action to solve the problems for the Huang Quan mercenaries. β
Zhang Mu didn't have a mother-in-law, and he couldn't delay it because of the urgency of time, so he agreed immediately.
The banquet ended halfway through.
Zhang Mu quickly set off and went to the mine.
