Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of the Seven Heroes, the Battle That Begins Soon
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he asked tentatively: "City Lord, may as well let me guess, this matter is related to the Seven Cities?"
"Oh, I didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou to know about this?" the city lord's tone was quite surprised, but there was no trace of surprise on his face.
"Lord of the city, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this is the fiancée of Xia, Li Ruoshui, the daughter of the Li family in Zeshui City, presumably the adults should also get the news, right? Besides, the relationship between the Wen family Tie family and Zai Xia is not bad, through getting along in the past few days, things have naturally learned a little, and the Marquis of Kang Zhi'an Kang has also told me something, so it is not surprising that I can guess this matter. Lin Zheng said frankly.
"Hehe, Brother Lin is quick to talk, the old man naturally knows that you generally understand this matter, and I invite you to come today, so I naturally want to ask what you mean. ”
"Please tell me more about it!"
"This is a long story, the Tianxuan Empire controls one-third of the land of the Barbarian Continent, and countless small countries exist in parallel on this continent, and these small countries will often have wars, so our Seven Cities is the local force to suppress these small countries. However, our seven cities need supplies from the Tianxuan Empire every year, and there are some division of resources, and each city is doing its best to expand its own power, so every five years there will be a competition, which is what you heard of as the Seven Heroes for supremacy!"
"Seven cities can actually suppress these small countries?With all due respect, I didn't see the true strength of Wushuang City, could it be that Wushuang City was just a signboard on the surface, secretly" Lin Zheng didn't finish the rest of his words, just looked at the city lord with his eyes.
"Hehe, you are smart, and it is inconvenient for me to reveal the details to you, but you just need to know that the city lord of each of these seven cities has the ability to wipe out any small country under the Tianxuan Empire, and it is effortless!"
"Well, maybe this is also the reason why the five great families in Wushuang City are afraid of the City Lord's Mansion, the strength of these great families does not seem to be weak, but in front of the City Lord, they are very respectful, it seems that this time there is really hope to be able to get close to the so-called disappearing history! It seems that this Kou City Lord is not as simple as it seems!" Lin Zheng said silently in his heart, and then looked up after thinking for a while and said: "Since the City Lord has spoken, Lin will naturally never refuse, please ask the City Lord for orders!"
"Ha Luha, good, very good, in this way, the chances of Wushuang City entering the top three this year have increased a lot!" The city lord's eyes flashed with joy, and then said: "Okay, I'll tell you in detail about the rules of the Seven Heroes Competition, so that you can make some preparations in advance!"
"In fact, it is very simple to compete for hegemony with these seven heroes, all the countries under each city will select elites to participate in this competition, these countries are actually subordinate to our seven cities, don't be surprised, the strength of a city will be stronger than some countries, these things will be clear after a while, after this competition, who will share the largest resources in the next five years, who will expand their territory? And who can step directly into the upper echelons of the imperial city! Who else will be favored by the true power of the Six Paths and so on? Everything will be known after this competition!"
The city lord's words were not finished, but Lin Zheng had already made huge waves in his heart, and finally heard the news about the six realms, no matter what, he must participate in this competition, and he must perform outstandingly, only in this way can he get in touch with the real general power of this continent, so as to get the news about the eldest brother.
Lin Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and listened to the city lord's narration without a trace, which was roughly some of the rules in the competition, but what the city lord said was also very simple, anyway, there were still three months before the competition, and these things would be urgent to talk about later.
"I don't know why the Lord of the Dao Dao City chose us people, don't you doubt the origin of our people?" Lin Zheng waited until the City Lord had almost finished talking before interjecting and asked.
"Hehe, to be honest, I have privately checked with someone, you are all people from a small village at the foot of Wukong Mountain, and you are a disciple of Wukong Gate, and you have not made a sound for three years, and you are a blockbuster. Zhao Yu who killed the Zhao family in the sect assessment, and forced the head of the Zhao family to retreat from his party! Later, after staying in the village for a year, you came to Wushuang City, and met Luo Lingling's grandfather on the way, and killed bandits on the way, and later, "The city lord of Kou said the information he collected one by one, Lin Zheng did not interrupt, just listened quietly, it only took a few days to investigate his people so thoroughly, and he really couldn't underestimate the means of this Wushuang City.
"Presumably some down-and-out nobleman in your family, right?" the city lord asked suddenly.
"I didn't expect the city lord to guess it, yes, we are in the middle of the road, we have been living under the Wukong Mountain all these years, and this time I came to Wushuang City, just to stay temporarily. Dissatisfied with the city lord, this time we came to create a career and revitalize the prestige of the family!" Lin Zheng's words were half-true, but people couldn't find the slightest fault.
"Ha Luha, Lin Xiaoyou, don't worry, no matter what the result of this competition is, my Wushuang City will help you revive the family!" A trace of doubt in the eyes of the Kou City Lord disappeared, and he left a huge temptation for Lin Zheng, of course, the premise is that Lin Zheng can really be tempted by this benefit, to say that to revitalize the prestige of the family, for ordinary families, it is absolutely enough to have the support of such a Wushuang City with huge power, and the Wushuang City, one of the seven cities, has absolute strength, and it is not at all necessary to support a family! But how could the Kou City Lord think of how glorious and powerful Lin Zheng's original family was! Even if he poured out the Heavenly Xuan, he might not be able to regain its glory!
Lin Zheng calmly hugged his fist at the city lord and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the city lord, I hope that the city lord will help you a lot, and in addition, Lin will do his best this time!"
"Ha Luha, good! Very good! If Lin Xiaoyou needs anything, just send someone here, whether it is a spas, an elixir, or a secret method, all the resources of the entire Peerless City will be opened for you!"
These words made Lin Zheng and Li Ruoshui quite moved, after knowing the strength of Wushuang City, the city lord could still say this, obviously to ask Lin Zheng and others to open their mouths, on the one hand, to show their strength, on the other hand, Shi Hui and Lin Zheng and others, from the perspective of etiquette, this Wushuang City Lord did not reveal a drop of water!
Everyone chatted for a while, this time it was really just a small talk, Lin Zheng did not directly ask about the specific strength behind Wushuang City, and the Wushuang City Lord did not ask Lin Zheng about his strength, the three of them chatted about common words, Li Ruoshui calmly dealt with it on the side, many things Li Ruoshui knew more clearly than Lin Zheng, an outsider, everyone chatted until noon, and then agreed on some things, Lin Zheng and Li Ruoshui said goodbye and left.
Back at home, Lin Zheng called Lin Wen and the others together, and told them all the things that went to the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they still showed a sense of joy!
"Lin Wen, you will count how many spars we have now. Lin Zheng said.
"Well, no problem, the Tang family has also sent the bets from the banquet that night, and has added a lot to the original amount, this seems to be befriending us, it seems that it is not only the third brother's subordinates who showed mercy that night, I am afraid that this city lord has also done some activities inside! In this way, now the spar is enough for us to use for a while!" Lin Wen thought for a while and analyzed.
"Well, that's good, it seems that the battle will be around soon!" Lin Zheng said thoughtfully.
"By the way, let's retreat and cultivate these days, Lin Wen, you should be more busy, socialize more with the City Lord's Mansion, and the Wen Tie family! The rest of the people don't have too important things to try to improve their strength, I always feel that this competition is not so simple!" Lin Zheng thought for a while and said: " The seven cities are far more terrifying than we seem, if the seven cities divide the Tianxuan equally, each city controls one-seventh of the Tianxuan, what a terrifying number this seventh, the population alone will be trillions, how many sects are there, how many martial arts geniuses there are, I'm afraid I can't count them, and the seven cities can firmly control the world, it is enough to show the strength of the seven cities!"
Lin Dao, Lin Qian and Lin Wen all nodded, with a serious expression, only Lin Qin had a bitter gourd face, for her, boring cultivation was not suitable for her at all, but she did not object, she knew that if she really encountered any danger, she would not be able to help everyone, and if she dragged everyone back, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself.
Hey, that's it, let's just practice for a while! Lin Qin shook his little head and sighed and pondered alone.
Lin Zheng naturally knew what Lin Qin wanted, but in this situation, he couldn't help Lin Qin, after all, this was a critical step, if this step couldn't get out of the way, and if it didn't go well, then it would be even more difficult to act in the future.
In the remaining half of the day, Lin Zheng met with Wen Tianqing and Tie Muzhan, but he didn't expect these two people to take the initiative to say that they would practice with the elders of the family in the past few days, and there might be no way to communicate from time to time, but if there was something in the Lin Mansion, the two would not refuse, and Lin Zheng immediately understood that the two of them must also be for the matter of this Seven Heroes Competition. There was no concealment at the moment, so he told the two about the City Lord's Mansion, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they were very happy, presumably this time there can be a powerful master to join, and the chances of victory in Wushuang City are a little greater! Everyone encouraged each other, and Wen Tianqing and Tie Muzhan took their leave.
Even Kang Zhi'an rushed over when he heard the letter, firstly to instruct Lin Zheng, and secondly, to resign. Kang Zhi'an's disease has been removed, and he has also stepped into the Sage, and Kang Zhi'an is going to return to the army. Kang Zhi'an left in a hurry, but he left all the assets in Wushuang City to Lin Zheng, good land, mansions, shops, all the assets were handed to Lin Zheng without leaving a penny, Lin Zheng did not refuse, anyway, Lin Zheng looked at these things very lightly, and Kang Zhi'an, as a marquis, is now a sage, so he naturally looks at these things more lightly.
So Lin Zheng made another fortune, which made Old Man Luo almost faint, when did he see so much property? As for Luo Lingling, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she immediately began to sort out all her properties, and before evening, Luo Lingling handed a detailed statistical form to Lin Zheng and the others. Even Li Ruoshui, who is from a family, was taken aback when he saw the assets on the list, this time he gained such wealth in a fraction, in terms of assets alone, Lin Zheng's current worth is no worse than that of ordinary families.
