On the second day, Mu Xiaofeng and the others came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, and Zhang Wenyu stepped forward and said to the guards at the door: "Take us in, we have something to find Zhang Fan." The guard looked at Zhang Wenyu in front of him, couldn't help but sneer, pointed the steel gun in his hand at Zhang Wenyu and sneered: "Where do you come from and where do you come from, you still dare to call the name of the city lord, you are really tired, what qualifications do you have to meet the city lord?" ”

Zhang Wenyu snorted coldly at this time, and then said slowly: "That's it!" I saw that Zhang Wenyu's body suddenly swelled, and his eyes were bloodshot, this is the effect of madness, Zhang Wenyu's cultivation over the years has long been able to go crazy anytime and anywhere.

"Huh! Damn orcs again, I'll go tell the city lord, you guys are waiting here. The guards were surprised by Zhang Wenyu's identity as a half-orc, but there was also a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if there was still an irreconcilable contradiction between the humans and the half-orcs in the city.

Not long after the guards entered, Zhang Fan personally went out from the mansion to greet him, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Wenyu and others, but the father quickly recognized Zhang Wenyu. Due to the large number of eyes and ears everywhere, Zhang Fan first took Zhang Wenyu and them into the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and then withdrew the surrounding guards, and said, "Take off the special mask, son, I know it's you." ”

Zhang Wenyu and the others took off the special mask without hesitation, but what Zhang Fan didn't expect was that Mu Xiaofeng and Zhou Linlin also appeared in his sight. Although Zhang Fan knew that when Mu Xiaofeng and Zhou Linlin returned to Luohai City, he knew that the last mission to kill Mu Xiaofeng had failed, but he didn't expect Mu Xiaofeng to dare to appear in front of him.

"Father, I hope you can give me an explanation. At the beginning, you told me that Mu Xiaofeng and they went to the Divine General Academy to train, but this was not the case. Zhang Wenyu's eyes were firm, staring at Zhang Fan in front of him, Zhang Fan was a little unnatural by this gaze, after all, this was a question from his own son.

Zhang Fan nodded at this time, then walked in front of Mu Xiaofeng, looked at Mu Xiaofeng in front of him, and then said: "Yes, I did participate in kidnapping Qiao Cang and killing Qiao's family at the beginning, but you don't know that Qiao Tong and Qu Yifeng are also involved in this matter, otherwise why do you think we can easily kill people under Qu Yifeng's nose?"

Mu Xiaofeng was a little overwhelmed after hearing this, he didn't completely know that his grandfather was also involved in this conspiracy. However, Zhang Fan continued to explain to them that Qu Yifeng didn't know anything else, he just hoped that Mu Xiaofeng could marry Zhou Linlin smoothly, not with Qiao Zi. Qiao Tong also hopes to unite with the Xi family, so Qiao Zi and Xi Mo's marriage is also supported by Qiao Tong, but in fact, Qiao Zi's parents have always opposed this matter, and they feel that Qiao Zi's happiness should be chosen by herself.

These various reasons led to the tragedy of Qiao Zi's family, but Qiao Cang was not here with Zhang Fan, but was taken away by Qiao Tong, Zhang Fan didn't know what Qiao Tong's purpose was, but he knew that Qiao Tong was supported by a very terrible force behind him. Mu Xiaofeng knew at this time that Qiao Tong was behind the God Worship Sect, but he didn't understand why Qiao Tong wanted to take Qiao Cang away for the time being.

Zhang Fan shook his head, let out a long sigh, then patted Zhang Wenyu's shoulder, and said softly: "I originally supported Avaya's rebellion so that the orcs could have a real home, but although Avaya verbally promised the legal status of the orcs, the status quo of the orcs has not changed. Later, I joined forces with Qiao Tong to assist Zhou Hesheng in his rebellion, although the orcs can live in the city, but they still receive people's hostility here, and I am just for the survival of our race. ”

When Zhou Linlin heard Zhang Fan say this, her eyes immediately brightened, and she walked up to Zhang Fan and said to him: "What if I have a way to change your current situation?" ”

Zhang Fan glanced at Zhou Linlin in front of him, Zhou Linlin made the princess of Junguo, of course, she is also Zhou Hesheng's contender for the throne, although Zhou Hesheng suffered a defeat in Luohai City and lost White Feather City, but his strength is still above Zhou Linlin. However, Zhang Fan heard that he was still interested in hearing what Zhou Linlin had to suggest, after all, the old noble forces and the new upstart forces in the place of the Earth Robbery City made the status of the half-orcs very embarrassing.

Zhou Linlin smiled, as long as Zhou Hesheng can be defeated in the future, Zhou Linlin will promise to move all the upstart forces and old noble forces out of the land and rob the city. Because the Acropolis was originally Zhou Heming's henchman, and after Zhou Hesheng took the throne, the old part of the Acropolis was cleared, so the Acropolis can be called the refuge of the two major forces of these land robberies in the future.

And the city will also be fully handed over to Zhang Fan to manage, and he only needs to pay taxes every year, and Zhou Linlin does not participate in any affairs of the city. Even if Zhang Fan killed all the humans in the city, Zhou Linlin would not care, this is a great power.

Zhang Fan pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, he knew that although Zhou Linlin had promised so many things, she must need things in exchange, so he asked, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess needs me to do?" There's no way I'm going to publicly jump out in support of the princess. ”

Zhou Linlin smiled, of course she knew that it was impossible for Zhang Fan to openly fight against Zhou Hesheng, otherwise he could easily send someone to destroy the city and rob the city. Zhou Linlin nodded, she agreed with Zhang Fan's opinion, and replied: "As long as my eldest brother is looking for the city lord to use troops, the city lord can postpone it again and again and wait and see what happens." ”

Zhang Fan was quite satisfied with Zhou Linlin's request, and he reached an agreement with Zhou Linlin. At this time, Zhang Fan revealed a piece of news to Zhou Linlin, that is, not all the orcs in Junguo were robbing the city. The Acropolis is undergoing the cultivation of orcs under the leadership of Xi Chen, and most of the orcs brought over by Zhang Fan in the city of Earth Tribulation City, more new orcs will be born in the Acropolis in the future.

If this war cannot be resolved within ten years, then Zhou Linlin will face a group of half-orc troops who obey Zhou Hesheng. Only then did everyone realize that He Qian's conjecture was right, and the women that Zhou He Sheng captured near the royal capital were to cultivate half-orcs.

He Qian, who knew the news, trembled, clenched her hands into fists, and then looked at Zhang Fan. She swore that she would definitely help Zhou Linlin end this war quickly, she didn't want to think back to her previous experience, the empty eyes in the dark cell, it was a more terrible place than hell.

Zhang Fan looked at He Qian in front of him and sighed, he knew that the previous experience had planted a seed in He Qian's heart, and she would definitely not let something like this happen again. After Zhang Fan and Zhou Linlin reached an agreement, they planned to send Zhou Linlin and them back, the city could not let them stay here for a long time, and the north was still a safe place for them.

Although Zhang Fan hoped that Zhang Wenyu could stay by his side, Zhang Wenyu decided to follow Zhou Linlin and them back to Luohai City, although Zhang Wenyu could understand what his father did, but he still couldn't accept it for the time being.

Just as Zhang Fan was about to go out, suddenly a guard ran to Zhang Fan in a panic and reported to him that the strength of the old nobles of the city had colluded with the troops of the country to attack the city. Now the soldiers and horses have come to the south gate of the Earth Robbery City, and they may attack at any time.

Zhang Fan frowned at this time, it was too dangerous to send Zhou Linlin out of the city at this time, the terrain of the city was open, and the other party was only in a position at the south gate, so the north should have set up an ambush. As long as the people who escaped from the Underground Robbery City would definitely be ambushed, and Zhou Linlin and the others would definitely not be able to deal with the ambush troops.

Zhou Linlin smiled at this time, she didn't think this was a bad thing, because the rebellion of the old noble forces gave Zhang Fan a good excuse to wipe out all the old nobles. So Zhou Linlin suggested that Zhang Fan first imprison all the remaining old nobles in the city, and beware of collusion between inside and outside.

Zhang Fan instantly understood what Zhou Linlin meant, it was naturally feasible for the upstart forces to move to the Divine Acropolis in the future, because their foundation in the Underground Robbery City itself was not deep. And the old nobles have been living in the city for many years, and it is very difficult to get them to leave the city.

Zhang Fan then arranged for people to imprison all the old nobles in the city, no matter whether the troops of Heguo could capture and rob the city, the lives of these old nobles would be difficult to protect. However, Zhang Fan also sent someone to contact Zhou Hesheng at this time, because there were a large number of troops in the country, and the defense of the city alone was not very good. Zhang Fan could only settle Zhou Linlin and them in the City Lord's Mansion at this time, and then wait for the news of the return of the royal capital while holding on to the city.

Ten days have passed, and the city has resisted wave after wave of attacks from Heguo, but the city is already very dilapidated, and you can see how fierce the attack has been in the past ten days from the scars on the city wall. But by this time, the messenger to the royal capital had returned, his clothes were in tatters, and the shoes on the soles of his feet were torn, revealing his toes.

The messenger knelt in front of Zhang Fan, and before he even had time to take a sip of water, he hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, the king refuses to send troops to rescue. ”

Zhang Fan frowned at this time, he didn't expect that Zhou Hesheng would give up on himself at this time. He first handed the messenger a cup of tea, and then asked him to slow down and slowly tell himself why Zhou Hesheng would refuse to help him.

It turned out that Zhou Hesheng was worried that if he sent troops to rescue at this time, then the guards of the royal capital would be empty, and if Zhou Linlin sent troops to attack, then the royal capital would be in crisis. Zhou Linlin heard the messenger say this on the side, and a smile was on her face, in fact, these things had long been expected by Zhou Linlin, this Heguo's dispatch of troops gave her a great opportunity to subdue the hearts of the people who robbed the city, as long as she could help Zhang Fan repel Heguo, then she was getting closer and closer to defeating Zhou Hesheng.
