Why?

This is probably the most frequently used question, why.

When Chen Xi stood on the city wall and watched Li Baimei lead the people to the Blue Star City with Yanyulou, he naturally thought of these three words in his mind. Why? Why did Li Baimei make such a choice?

In fact, if you think about it, it is not difficult to analyze that Li Baimei's current position is extremely embarrassing. He did have nearly 100,000 soldiers in his hands, but he didn't have a place to protect them. Although Xiangxu City, where the Yanzhou Prefecture is located, is also very large, not everyone can have the strength and luck of Chen Xi, Chen Xi can build a fortress in Blue Star City, but Li Baimei does not have this ability.

The last time Xiangxu City was attacked, Li Baimei decisively gave up the city. Xiangxu City can't be stopped, and defending it can only be trapped to death in the end. Therefore, when it was discovered that hundreds of thousands of abyssal beast armies were attacking Xiangxu City, and there was more than one way, the nearly one million abyssal beast armies on the second road were also heading towards Xiangxu City. Li Baimei made a decision almost without hesitation, and entered his space with an army of 100,000 to hide.

He avoided the battle and lost the city of Xiangxu.

Millions of people in the city died.

When Li Baimei came out of the forbidden area with the centaurs, he felt that he would regret it. But when he saw the ruined Xiangxu City, he suddenly found that his heart was calm and incomprehensible. Then he realized that he was such a cold person. Then he remembered how it was possible for a man who was not ruthless to be in the position of governor of a state?

After Yanzhou Xiangxu City was breached, a part of those abyssal beasts came to Blue Star City, that is, the Tyrannosaurus King who supported Yue Zhao. The other part, which was also an extremely powerful army of abyssal beasts, returned to Haoyue City and participated in an extremely difficult battle. The reason why Li Baimei would escape was because the Abyssal Beast King was exceptionally powerful, and the Tyrannosaurus King was as weak as a child who had just learned to walk compared to that Abyssal Beast King.

The abyssal beast king who let Li Baimei escape was one of the one hundred and eight strongest kings of the Endless Abyss.

So at this time, what did Li Baimei need most? It was a solid fortress, and he couldn't snatch it from the abyss beast, so he had to grab it from his own people. Recently, there has been more and more news about Blue Star City, and rumors that Blue Star City is an impenetrable city have been spreading all around. More and more people know that Blue Star City is indestructible.

When Li Baimei heard the news, how could he not be moved? He felt that this was a gift prepared for him by heaven, and he could easily take the fortress that Chen Xi had worked so hard to build as his own. As long as he gets Blue Star City, then he will be able to gain a foothold in the Tianfu Continent. He didn't know why Blue Star City had such strong walls and such powerful weapons, but he knew that he had to have it.

At this time, the people sent by Lai Hao saw Li Baimei. Li Baimei inquired into Blue Star City in great detail, but he deliberately expressed extreme arrogance. He believed that he had asked how many powerhouses there were in Blue Star City, and the people Lai Hao sent to contact him were actually not very clear, only knowing that there was a cultivator in the Cave Realm of Yanyu Tower in Blue Star City.

Then, Li Baimei began to plan.

As long as Blue Star City is taken down, no matter how strict the abyssal beast crisis is, at least he can ensure that his strength can be preserved.

Chen Xi quietly watched Li Baimei enter the city, thinking about all this in his mind.

"It's that I'm too anxious. ”

He let out a long sigh of relief, his expression a little helpless: "Since the outbreak of the crisis of the Abyssal Beast, I have gradually ignored the darkness in people's hearts. Because I saw more trust between people, I asked Lai Hao to send someone to contact Li Baimei. It is precisely because of this trust that Li Baimei feels that there is an opportunity. ”

Liu Xichen shook his hand: "Not everyone is like this, now we should think about how to keep Blue Star City." Li Baimei was different from Haoyue City last time, and Li Baimei's preparation was obviously more adequate. ”

At this time, news came back from the rumored jade pendant. The small boat sent out by Hei Jue to reconnoiter really found a large group of men and horses on the side of Cuiping Mountain, and there were many siege equipment among them. In other words, Li Baimei is here to rob Blue Star City.

"That's the key. ”

Chen Xi pointed to the six hundred elite armor soldiers: "What are they carrying on them, which can ensure that the city gate is not closed." From Cuiping Mountain to this one hundred and fifty miles, elite cavalry and flying warships can arrive in just over an hour. The task of these elite armorers is to seize the city gates and hold them for an hour."

"But we don't have proof. ”

Lu Guangzeng rubbed his temples: "As long as Li Baimei hasn't come out, we have no evidence." What's more, he is the governor of Yanzhou, and he has absolute rights in Yanzhou. Even if he makes it clear that he wants to go to Blue Star City, what can we do?"

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing: "Why should I give it, because he is the governor of Great Chu?"

Lu Guangzeng was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I forgot, where is still the world of Da Chu now." ”

After Chen Xi arranged it on the city wall, he returned to the city lord's mansion. The City Lord's Mansion is located on the west side of Blue Star City, not far from the original post station. This City Lord's Mansion was newly built later, and when Zisang hated the chaos, Blue Star City was destroyed in a mess, and the City Lord's Mansion was almost demolished. Later, when Chen Xi arranged for people to build a workshop, the people also cleaned up the city lord's mansion by the way.

However, compared to when Zisang was there, the scale of the City Lord's Mansion was much smaller. Everyone just thinks that Chen Xi should have a home of his own, so the construction here is exceptionally warm but not as solemn as the City Lord's Mansion. There are all kinds of small bridges and flowing water in the yard, although it does not occupy a particularly large area, but the scenery is really beautiful. The craftsmen have put a lot of care into the construction, so even the details are perfect and amazing.

A well was drilled in the yard, and on top of the well was a small waterwheel, which used the sail to rotate to extract the water from the well and water the flowers and plants in the yard.

When Chen Xi came in, the atmosphere between Yan Yulou and Li Baimei was obviously a little wrong. Judging from the expression on Yan Yulou's face, it was obvious that the conversation had collapsed. Yan Yulou is not a person who is particularly willing to rely on conversation to solve problems, which can be seen from the character of those black people brought out by his subordinates.

"City Lord. ”

When Yan Yulou saw Chen Xi coming, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists. There is not so much red tape between him and Chen Xi on weekdays, this is for Li Baimei and others to see. Li Baimei tested Chen Xi with the power of cultivation when he came in, and he was obviously a little surprised after he found out that Chen Xi was only a cultivator of the Lingshan Realm. It was a strange thing that a cultivator of the Spirit Mountain Realm could be assisted by an arrogant person like Yan Yulou.

"It turns out that the city lord is so young and promising. ”

Li Baimei smiled and got up to speak, looking kind.

Chen Xi also greeted with a smile, and then walked to the main seat and sat down: "There are more things in the city, and there are more things outside the city, so our time is more precious, what is the purpose of the governor's visit this time, can you tell me directly?"

Chen Xi's opening made Li Baimei's expression change subtly. He was silent for a while before standing up, looked at Chen Xi and said seriously, "I want Blue Star City." ”

As soon as he said this, Yan Yulou's face immediately changed. Yan Yulou's sword eyebrows raised upward, and a sword intent emanated from him. That kind of indomitable sword intent, the people brought by the stabbing Li Baimei felt pain in their hearts. The coercion of cave realm cultivators, especially those with excellent talent like Yan Yulou, was even more unbearable.

"Oh?"

Chen Xi didn't seem to expect Li Baimei to say it so directly, he glanced at Yanyulou and signaled not to do it.

"The Governor thinks that Blue Star City can become a fortress for your 100,000 soldiers, so you came here to sue me, and in the future, this place in Blue Star City will be your Li Baimei's, and it has nothing to do with us people, right?"

Li Baimei shook his head: "I can allow you to continue to live here." ”

"Thank you. ”

Chen Xi clenched his fists, then smiled and asked, "But Lord Governor, how do you think that I will agree? Speaking of this kind of thing, even if I promise the others in Blue Star City, I may not agree." ”

Li Baimei said: "I know what great strength is hidden in Blue Star City, such as that tower. Yanyulou is rumored to be the most difficult one in the dark law division. It is rumored that there is also a mysterious cultivator in the city, and his strength should still be above the Yanyu Tower. So even if I bring some men, it seems impossible to snatch Blue Star City away. But why am I so confident?"

Chen Xi looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

seemed to feel that Chen Xi didn't ask him, and Li Baimei felt a little bored: "Actually, it's not very glorious to say, but it's completely meaningless in this troubled world." Since I know that there is a lot of strength in Blue Star City, why should I come here and why do I have this confidence? is because I am sure that I have found some weaknesses in you, City Lord. ”

Li Baimei took a sip of the hot dishes in the cup in front of him, and said in a somewhat provocative tone: "When the city lord sent someone to contact me, I specially inquired with your envoy. He told me that there were at least one million ordinary people in Blue Star City, and I couldn't understand why you would make such a stupid decision? How much pressure it was to raise millions of ordinary people? It was unimaginable to manage so many people to eat, drink, and face the siege of the Abyssal Beasts. Later, I thought about it, and the reason why I think it's irrational and idiotic to do this is because you're not like me. ”

Li Baimei looked at Chen Xi and said, "I think you are an idiot for doing this, but it doesn't prevent me from respecting you." You are a saint, a true saint. And I'm not, I'm a villain, a villain who can do anything as long as he can keep his strength and survive in the rocks. For example, when I gave up Xiangxu City, and as a result, all the millions of people in Xiangxu City became the food of the abyssal beasts, and I did this kind of thing, but the city lord couldn't do it, right?"

He smiled and pointed outside: "The city lord must have thought that the six hundred armor soldiers I brought were going to snatch the city gate, right? If it was really that simple, wouldn't I have lost a long time ago?" Those six hundred people carried an artifact, not something else but something from the Huang family of the Holy Hall of Tianshu City, which could detect the location of the forbidden area, and then find the gate of the forbidden area, and then penetrate it. I believe that my six hundred subordinates were looked at by the city lord's people, but one person suddenly disappeared among the six hundred people, and one person, found the space that the city lord used to support those people, and then placed a big killing weapon in it, as long as I send a signal, those million people will die at the same time."

Li Baimei rubbed his temples: "I'm really vicious, right?, so Blue Star City is not mine now?" R1058
