Chapter 152 The City Lord's Hidden Majesty
It's a pity that only Cloud City and Strange Wind City are at war, and the other two main cities are too far apart to fight at all. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Nowadays their war is not for the sake of gaining territory, but for development! The benefits of war are beyond imagination, and everyone cannot believe it.
Mr. Zhao, who paid special attention to Midsummer, relied on this to make a windfall.
Only part of their deal was for the City Lord's Mansion, and the other part was for the Qifeng City Chamber of Commerce.
It is said to be the main city, but in fact, the control over the surrounding cities is zero. The resources of the Northern Mountains were already scarce, and it was extremely difficult to even pull up an armed force of 1,000 people. Strange Wind City is a super fringe area with extremely scarce iron ore resources, although it is very rich but has no weapons to use, it is often the target of wars in other cities.
Therefore, selling weapons to Qifeng City will make a lot of money, even if this is a smuggling strictly prohibited by the City Lord's Mansion and there is a danger of being killed if they are caught, they can't stop the traders who want to make money.
And Mr. Zhao is the most profitable among the resellers, he has a special Liang Dao to send weapons out, and he has a very big power, no one can move him, and it makes him rampant, and cooperates with the Gu Clan Weapon Store to make a lot of money together.
The longer the war between the two main cities lasted, the more these people earned, so the war lasted for generations without stopping.
The point is, the people of the two main cities also profited from the war!
The poor can rely on joining the army to eat, the peasants can rely on the city lord's mansion to buy a large amount of grain to live well, and the merchants can smuggle everywhere to make a lot of money, if the war stops, not only the cloud city lord's mansion will be finished, but the economy of the entire cloud city will decline.
This is the development of war, which seems speechless, but in fact it is a very real reality. Of course, if anyone can win the war, they can also rely on the complete trade between the two cities to achieve the same goal as the war.
But they all want to be the boss, so the war will be fought until the winner is decided.

In the castle lord's mansion.
Kaz, the sound of something being smashed rang out, and one after the other.
"What do you say, you're dying of old age! You tell me he was killed by a teenage girl? Are you dreaming?"
The city lord roared.
"Someone, bring it. Xi Yucang was startled and left and shouted.
The two subordinates hurriedly ran over, still carrying Cui Ruliang's iron rod on their shoulders.
"City Lord, Lord Cui, he is dead, and the body is gone, only this weapon has been found. ”
The city lord's face changed greatly, it was impossible for Cui Ruliang to make such a joke, and now the weapon was obviously really in trouble here.
"City Lord, the distinguished guests of Tianfeng City have been waiting for a long time, and if they don't go, they won't be able to delay. The butler rushed in and said anxiously.
The city lord looked uncertain, Cui Ruliang was a martial arts master, he was dead, wouldn't the person who killed him be stronger?
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of who it was, and it was impossible for Qifeng City to have a master of that level, otherwise he would have come to assassinate him earlier, and he would have been plundered almost all the time.
"Xi Yucang, look at the good things you have done, wait for the family law to deal with it!"
At this time, a young man stood up, arched his hand to the city lord and said: "Father, Xi Yincang molested other people's maids on the street, resulting in the slaughter of three city lord's palace guards in a fit of anger. But Xi Yucang was extremely stubborn, relying on Cui Lao's martial arts, but he kept mocking, wanting to kill the man and woman. Can you not listen to Xi Yincang's eldest son? Loyal people can only do it, and everyone will know that it is completely Xi Yincang who killed the elderly, otherwise how can the old people do it with others! This must be dealt with severely, father, what I said is all true, and this time we absolutely cannot cover up Xi Yucang's evil deeds!"
The second son, Xi Liancheng, was extremely vicious, and everyone he saw was dead, who could confirm his words? He directly arrested all the people he saw and killed them, and there was no proof of death!
As for Xi Yucang, hehe, who would believe this gentleman?
"That's right, the child feels that what the second brother said is correct, Xi Yucang, as the eldest son of his father, has corrupted the family so much, how can we feel at ease. The third son, Xi Jinglun, fell into the well, but the firepower was attracted by Xi Liancheng anyway, so he silently added strength.
Even the stewards agreed, but as retainers, they did not speak.
But there is an exception, among these housekeepers, Mr. Zhao is a member of the Zhao family, and his status is extremely high, so he doesn't care about the difference between the lord and the minister, and said directly.
"Xi Yucang's bad habits are hard to change, it's better to be in prison and hone for a good life!"
Xi Yucang was a little dazed at first, and he didn't come back to his senses until now.
"No, no, I didn't kill the elderly, my father believes me, it was Cui Lao who took a fancy to that person's martial arts and did it, no matter what I do!"
"What do you mean, you are clearly framing me, you are spewing blood!" Xi Yucang roared.
"Don't think I don't know, you're secretly ......"
The second son sneered and waved his hand, and suddenly a subordinate who was holding Xi Yucang suddenly punched Xi Yucang's death hole, and Xi Yucang directly softened.
"Father, let's put Xi Yucang in prison, otherwise I might be talking nonsense!"
It doesn't matter if the city lord agrees with it or not, he just pulls it down.
The city lord's face was ugly, he usually favored and ridiculed the most, but he didn't expect these people to grab the handle and do it directly.
"It seems that this chess piece can't go. The city lord looked like he was killing his relatives with righteousness, and he pretended to be sad.
Even the second son and the third son believed it.
It's a pity that the city lord is just a pawn and uses his cunning to kill people, hehe, I just spoil my son, and if I dare to provoke my son, I will kill him.
Now this method is not working, and saving Xi Yucang is not conducive to his rule.
The lord of the castle grieved, and then pretended to be trying to regain his composure and went to receive the distinguished guests.
The second son and the third son glanced coldly at the distant city lord, and the resentment in their hearts became stronger and stronger.
Why let a waste press on our heads, and it will be pressed for decades! Over the years, they have almost died because of Xi Yucang, and this city lord doesn't care about them at all, why can't Xi Yucang kill us even if he kills our top combat power?
Totally unfair, totally unequal!
If it weren't for the support of our respective families, we would have been killed in the dark by Xi Yucang, right?
The sons of the scheming city lord never thought that all this was arranged by the city lord, and even their dead brothers and sisters were because of their father.
Ever heard of the law of the jungle? )
