Chapter 346: City Lord Zeng's Idea of Collecting Wealth
When night falls, the whole Linhuan City is brilliantly lit, and the night is as prosperous and noisy as ever.
The big names of various forces rushed to the road of the city lord's mansion one by one.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was wide open, and Steward Liao of the City Lord's Mansion had already led the guards to wait for the arrival of the big men outside the door.
Some people from small forces had already arrived quickly, and they had already gone to the conference hall under the warm reception of Steward Liao of the City Lord's Mansion.
And the top three families in the city, the Ma family, the Mo family, and the Pan family, the three heads of the family arrived late, and they arrived at the city lord's mansion at the same time.
Steward Liao saw the three of them arriving at the same time, and his heart froze, and he quickly said respectfully:
"The head of the Mo family, the head of the Pan family, and the head of the Ma family, please come in quickly, the city lord has been waiting for more than three of them!"
The expressions of the three family heads were different, Mo Xinwen, the head of the Mo family, was smiling, Pan Bojian, the head of the Pan family, was expressionless, and Ma Linfeng, the head of the Ma family, had a cold and arrogant face.
After the three of them glanced at each other, they stepped into the City Lord's Mansion and headed for the conference hall at the same time.
This afternoon, the city lord suddenly called everyone to gather tonight to discuss important matters.
Not long after this Zeng city lord came to Huancheng, he summoned various forces in the city for the first time, but I don't know if he is preparing for the new officials to take office with three fires and give them a horse, or what?
The three of them had already made up their minds that if Zeng Haolong was not interested and harmed the interests of their family, they would join forces to deal with Zeng Haolong and advance and retreat together.
They are not afraid of Zeng Haolong and the Zeng family behind them, there is a strong grandmaster behind the three major families, and if they join forces, the Zeng family will give face.
In the conference hall, more than 20 heads of families and gang forces in Linhuan City sat down one after another, and Zeng Haolong had not yet appeared, so these people talked in a low voice with their neighbors, exchanged all kinds of things, and talked about various interests and cooperation.
When the heads of the three major families entered the conference hall, everyone was silent, and their eyes flickered to look at the three family heads.
Many people nodded slightly at the same time.
After the three of them sat down, seeing everyone's statements, Mo Xinwen smiled at everyone, and Ma Linfeng and Pan Bojian also kindly greeted the head of the family.
When everyone arrived, the pot-bellied Zeng Haolong entered the conference hall with several henchmen.
After everyone saw Zeng Haolong's arrival, they closed their mouths one after another, and their eyes wandered on Zeng Haolong.
Zeng Haolong strode onto the main seat, and after naturally sitting down, his face was very serious: "Everyone, I hurriedly summoned everyone to come here today for a major event, a major event about all the forces in Lianzhou!" ”
Zeng Haolong's tone was very heavy, but he was excited in his heart, he was still thinking about how to collect money in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that when he and his concubine just played a game for women and men, the notice of the county guard had already been issued.
When everyone heard Zeng Haolong's words, especially about the major events of the entire Lianzhou forces, their faces froze.
This is no joke about the major events in Lianzhou as a whole.
Everyone looked at Zeng Haolong in unison.
"Presumably, you all know that we have five states in the southeast of the Yu Dynasty, and four of them have been taken by the King of Chu, and they are about to become one of the top overlords of the Yu Dynasty."
Zeng Haolong's solemn face showed a hint of fear, they were the closest place to Huanzhou in Linhuan City, in case the King of Chu dealt with Lianzhou, they would bear the brunt.
"So what?"
The head of the Ma family, who had a cold and arrogant face, said disapprovingly.
What does this top overlord have to do with them, if the king of Chu wants to attack, he can just surrender directly.
As long as he throws fast, the king of Chu can't do anything about himself.
What are you afraid of!
There are also many people who have the same thoughts, their faces have not changed at all, they are ready to surrender, and the gifts for the surrender of the king of Chu have been prepared.
Zeng Haolong glanced at everyone and knew what they were thinking, not only him before, but even the Zeng family behind him had such an idea, and even secretly prepared a letter.
But now it's different.
Zeng Haolong showed a trace of sadness and said: "I think you also know that the major forces in Lianzhou are gathered in Liancang Mansion. ”
Everyone nodded slightly, their faces showed an extremely solemn look, this is a top force, who is not afraid of these small forces.
Linhuan City, where he is located, is one of the eleven cities of Linhuan County, and Linhuan County is only one of the eight counties of Lianhuan Prefecture.
And the entire Lianhuan Mansion belongs to the territory of Fengxuelou, one of the top forces, and this is still half of the territory of Fengxuelou.
This is the horror of the top powers.
Zeng Haolong continued: "Just yesterday, our five top forces in Lianzhou have decided to join forces to deal with the King of Chu! ”
"What!"
The leaders of the various forces, who had remained calm, suddenly stood up one by one and said in horror:
"Are the five major forces crazy?"
"What do they want to do?"
"The King of Chu is the overlord who controls the land of the four states, and we still want to deal with the King of Chu in a single Lianzhou?"
The faces of the three masters also turned pale, the five top forces in Lianzhou were terrifying, but the King of Chu was even more terrifying.
The combination of your five major forces may not be able to take the next state, and you still have to deal with the king of Chu who has won the land of the four states.
Brains broken?
The most terrifying thing is that if the five major forces have decided to unite against the King of Chu, then unless these small forces run now, they will only be forced to join the alliance of the five major forces under the deterrence of the top forces.
So that's why everyone here is so nervous.
Now that the king of Chu has not yet attacked, if he surrenders, he will be destroyed by the five major forces as soon as possible.
"Everyone, don't worry, listen to me." Zeng Haolong was also shocked when he first saw the news, but the news that followed made him excited.
"It is impossible for our alliance of five major forces to be so stupid, how can it be possible to deal with the King of Chu alone, they have already united the imperial court." Zeng Haolong said confidently.
"Even if they unite with the imperial court, they may not be able to defeat the King of Chu." The smile that Mo Xinwen had always maintained on his face had disappeared, and his face was pale.
The struggle between the big forces and the big forces, if ordinary people are cannon fodder, they are high-level cannon fodder.
Originally, he had no grievances with the king of Chu, and a letter of surrender could solve the matter.
If you join this alliance, you may disappear in a battle before you surrender.
"yes."
"Their top forces can fight a protracted war, can we, this is too pitiful."
As the head of the Mo family spoke, some of the masters of small forces also discussed.
At this moment, there was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and the lords of the small forces lived up to their previous bearing, and they were worried one by one.
"Ahem!" Zeng Haolong looked at everyone's appearance, cleared his throat and said:
"What if the court adds King Yu!"
Zeng Haolong's voice echoed in the lobby, quieting the entire lobby.
Everyone looked at Zeng Haolong with wide eyes, and the three masters couldn't help but straighten up.
Zeng Haolong changed his comfortable posture, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile on his face: "In less than three days, the news of the imperial court and King Yu's dispatch of troops will reach here!" ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and at this moment, a leader stood up and said quickly: "I agree, our Lian family is willing to follow in the footsteps of the five major forces!" ”
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
"I agree."
Everyone became excited one by one, they didn't want to deal with King Chu before because they didn't see any hope of victory.
Now that the imperial court has added the king of honor and all the forces in Lianzhou, how can the king of Chu stop it.
If the king of Chu is defeated, the king of Chu will be under the command of the entire four states, and they can't drink the soup, so they can always grab a little bit of the residue.
The three masters glanced at each other, and they all nodded, and a wave of enthusiasm surged into their hearts, they also had to do a big job and join this big battle.
Seeing that everyone expressed their attitudes, Zeng Haolong smiled, the more than twenty people present are enough to represent the entire Linhuan City, so it is time to talk about the next move.
"It seems that everyone's consciousness is very high, the city lord can tell you, now the major forces are ready, Fengxue Lou will send 200,000 troops to our Linhuan City in three days, and then the major forces will send the army one after another, half a month later, King Yu and the imperial army will arrive, and then we will enter Huanzhou from Linhuan City!"
Zeng Haolong's excited voice resounded in the lobby.
Everyone became more and more excited when they heard this, the king and the court, this is an existence stronger than the five major forces, if their family is taken by a certain person, wouldn't it be soaring!
"We support City Lord Zeng!"
"That's right, what City Lord Zeng tells us to do, we will do it!"
"City Lord Zeng, your arrival has made our entire Linhuan City lucky!"
One by one, the lords of power said excitedly, looking at the city lord Zeng with great respect, in this way, once they attacked Huanzhou, they would become the most critical support transportation point in Huancheng.
That's a lot of work!
Don't talk about them, the entire Linhuan City is going to take off!
Seeing everyone's recognized attitude, Zeng Haolong also stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Very good, so we want them to see the best face of our Linhuan City and welcome them with the best attitude!" ”
Everyone nodded in unison, don't Zeng Haolong say, if this is what they have to do.
"Therefore, the city lord plans to make a big change to the entire Linhuan City in the next few days, first of all, the old military uniforms and old weapons of the city guards will be replaced with new ones."
"Where is the road broken, don't repair it, dig it up directly, replace it with a new one, the city gate, what street, change the paint of the ............" Zeng Haolong waved his hand, his eyes showed the flames of battle, and he kept telling everything to be rectified, and he wanted to make the entire Linhuan City the most expensive and costly............
No, all the things that have a bad impact have to be replaced, so that the whole Linhuan City will have a new look!
Listening to Zeng Haolong's words, everyone's excited faces slowly disappeared, what did Zeng Haolong mean by stepping on a horse, how could they not understand.
Zeng Haolong continued: "All this can't rely on us alone, but on the entire Linhuan City, so I hope that everyone will call on the people in the city to donate money and donate money from tomorrow, work and contribute, and contribute to our Linhuan City to welcome the arrival of the imperial army!" ”
Hearing Zeng Haolong's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and their faces showed an excited smile again.
That's right, everyone has to work together!
"The city lord is righteous!"
