In this gamble, they lost badly.

The defeat of the Gu family implicated them, not only spent a lot of silver taels to ransom people, but also went to the blacklist of the City Lord's Mansion and the Zhang family, and it was difficult to be in Dongsheng City in the future.

And among these families, the Ma family is undoubtedly the one who regrets it the most.

Previously, due to the incident between Ma Jinzhi and Ma Xiuwu, Ma Xiuqi's righteous annihilation of relatives made Zhang Hanlin look at the head of the Ma family with admiration, and he also had a certain good impression of the Ma family, and the relationship with Ma Xinlin and Martin was not bad.

So before the Gu family and the Zhang family went to war, Zhang Hanlin specially went to the Ma family to pull him down to the Zhang family's camp, but because of Ma Xiuqi's indecision and short-sightedness, the Ma family lost this opportunity to soar.

However, fortunately, the Ma family did not take refuge in the Zhang family, nor did they fall to the Gu family, so they did not suffer any losses in this war.

But even so, the atmosphere of the Ma family is even more gloomy, Ma Xiuqi really wants to say at the moment, there was an opportunity to soar in front of me, I didn't cherish it, if I could do it again, I would... (Mistracked.) ）

However, compared to Ma Xiuqi and Ma Xinlin, although Zhang Hanlin rejected her confession, the two can still be friends.

But because of this incident, Ma Xinlin felt very guilty and had no face to see Zhang Hanlin.

At that time, he persuaded his father to join forces with the Zhang family many times, but Ma Xiuqi insisted on going his own way, which led to the current situation.

Since the end of the war, Ma Xinlin has barely spoken a word to Matthew, locked herself in the room, and even Martin went to see him, without saying a word.

In the study, Ma Xiuqi said to Wang Ping beside him: "Am I really wrong?"

Wang Ping was silent, because judging from the results, Ma Xiuqi's original decision was indeed wrong, but at that time, Ma Xiuqi made such a decision for the sake of the future of the Ma family, and the starting point was good, but the bet was wrong.

Matthew Qi got up and walked outside the study, and let out a long sigh, his back seemed to be a little stiff.

"Come with me to see Xinlin. ”

Chiba Castle.

Ye Zhengguan and Che Chiqian and Che Chi Wanxing were discussing matters related to the suppression of bandits.

Last night, Che Chi Qianxiong and the others came to visit, which surprised Ye Zhengguan, because the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Che Chi clan was not bad, but it was not very good.

When the two learned from the two that the Du family and the Wei family secretly colluded to protect the horse bandit gang to commit murder and evil, Ye Zhengguan was not much surprised, because as the city lord of Chiba City, he had heard little about this matter, but because of the prestige of the two families, Ye Zhengguan did not want to conflict with the two families.

But when he heard from Che Chi Qianxiong that Dongsheng City was preparing to send troops to suppress bandits and clear the borderland, he was very suspicious.

The Borderlands is the link and forbidden land of the three cities, and since the agreement between the three cities, the Borderlands has been in a state of self-destruction, and no one has dared to use troops against the Borderlands for many years.

How dare he be in vain?

But when Ye Zhengguan learned about a series of methods in Dongshengcheng from Che Chi Qianxiong, including reporting the matter to the lord in detail, Ye Zhengguan revisited

I couldn't sit still.

Although Che Chi Qianxiong did not talk to him in detail about what to do with the borderland after the bandits.

But Ye Zhengguan sensed the smell of the benefits with his keen sense of smell, and immediately decided to gather people to work with Dongshengcheng to suppress bandits, this good thing cannot be monopolized by Dongshengcheng alone.

So, he immediately repaired a letter to Bai Shen, and the letter stated that Chiba City would send troops to suppress bandits together with Dongshengcheng, and the time was the early morning tomorrow set by Dongshengcheng.

After handwriting the letter and sending it, Ye Zhengguan immediately gathered people, gathered all the heads of the family in Chiba City except for the Wei family and the Du family, and told everyone to go back and immediately straighten out the manpower, mobilize the top masters of each family, and prepare for tomorrow's events.

But when the masters asked what was going on, Ye Zhengguan refused to reveal anything, but said, "You will know if you come to the south gate with people early tomorrow morning."

Then he sent the heads of the major families home to prepare, as for whether these families came or not, he didn't care at all, the horse bandit gang seemed to him like ants, and his own shot was enough to kill the horse bandit gang, he wished that the fewer people came, the better, otherwise the territory of the borderless land was not enough.

Ye Zhengguan, who had arranged everything, climbed the city tower to look at the Borderland, looking at the vast area of the Borderland, Ye Zheng was very concerned.

After this crackdown on bandits, the power of the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably expand several times, and such a big piece of cake in the Borderland is enough to make countless families flock to it, and if they want to share the benefits in it, they must be attached to the City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike Lincheng and Dongsheng City, the power of the City Lord's Mansion of Chiba City is very weak, not to mention compared to the Chechi clan, even the Du family and the Wei family are disdainful of the City Lord's Mansion.

And this opportunity is an opportunity for Ye Zhengguan to turn over, after suppressing the bandits, as long as he wins the management of the borderless land, he, the city lord, will have a great right to speak, and then the Du family and the Wei family will also have to look at their faces.

Bai Shen, Bai Shen, thank you so much.

——

"Ye Zhengguan has decided to send troops to suppress the bandits, Chen Lin, inform the major families to gather at the East City Gate early tomorrow morning. Bai Shen said with a smile.

Chen Lin said respectfully: "Yes, City Lord." ”

Immediately after, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion began to get busy.

At noon, when Bai Lingxuan came to Zhang's mansion to look for Zhang Hanlin, she learned that Zhang Hanlin had been in a coma for several hours.

In desperation, Bai Lingxuan took care of Zhang Hanlin in Zhang Hanlin's room for an afternoon.

But when night fell, Zhang Hanlin did not show signs of waking up, which made Zhang Zhenzhong and Zhang Tianhong worried, but after a diagnosis, Zhang Hanlin was in good health and did not have any uncomfortable symptoms.

It wasn't until Gong Lingyue said, "Han Lin fell into a coma because he gained a lot of strength last night, and his cultivation speed was too fast, breaking through the second realm of martial arts in one go, exceeding the limit that his body can bear, but don't worry, just wait for two days of cultivation." ”

Only then did the crowd relax.

——

In the early morning of the next day, the Bu family, the Zheng family and other major families, as well as the Qingxuan Gang, all went to Dongshengcheng, the major families

The people selected are all the pinnacles of the Four Realms of Martial Dao, as well as the powerhouses of the Five Realms of Martial Dao and the Six Realms of Martial Dao.

The City Lord's Mansion and the Zhang family's powerhouses also followed.

In addition, the Zhang family and the City Lord's Mansion came with Yin Qingyun and Bai Shen, and Yu Zhi also followed Wenren Haochu to come.

The powerhouses of the four realms of martial arts in Zhangfu Mingwei also participated in the battle, and in addition, Yin Tianxing also followed in the Zhang family's ranks.

However, because he was a Grandmaster of the Seven Realms, Yu Zhi walked with Bai Shen and Yin Qingyun, and when the team was straightened out, Bai Shen gave an order, "Let's go." ”

The city gate was immediately opened, Bai Shen, Yin Qingyun, and Yu Zhi took the lead, and everyone followed, and a group of people marched out of Dongsheng City and marched towards the borderless land.

And everyone in Dongsheng City was shocked, with such a big battle, where was Bai Shen leading the people to go?

The major families who knew the news couldn't sit still, because the people who followed Bai Shen out of the city were all the forces that took refuge in the Zhang family and the City Lord's Mansion this time, what did they do?

Why didn't they get any news?

Half an hour after Bai Shen and the others set off, the south gate of Chiba City was also like this.

The Che Chi clan came to Che Chi Qianxiong, Che Chi Wanxing, and Che Chi Huazong.

Ye Zhengguan didn't talk nonsense, looking at the team of less than fifty people in front of him, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile.

Yesterday I ordered to go down, and there are only thirteen families who are willing to come today, and there are nearly fifty families in Chiba City, and only thirteen are willing to come, which is interesting.

But this is exactly what Ye Zhengguan wants to see.

"Let's go. Ye Zhengguan gave an order, and the city gate was opened.

The heads of the major families at the gate of the city hurriedly asked, "City Lord, what are we going to do here?"

"Go out of the city and exterminate the horse bandits. ”

"What?"

Everyone exclaimed, but before they could continue to ask, Ye Zhengguan led the people of the City Lord's Mansion to the outside of the city, at this time, the major families standing under the city gate were in a dilemma, but looking at Ye Zhengguan, who had already gone away, he could only grit his teeth and follow.

"I hope the lord of the city has thought of the consequences when he does this. Someone in the team said.

Everyone took the family martial arts powerhouse with a complicated mood, followed Ye Zhengguan's pace, and headed towards the station of the horse bandit gang outside the city.

And like Dongsheng City, the major families in Chiba City who did not participate in the suppression of bandits were shocked when they learned the news, and secretly said: What kind of reputation is Ye Zhengguan doing.

Do you want to take advantage of this matter to meddle in the borderlands and start a war with Dongsheng City and Lincheng?

Dongshengcheng's strength has increased recently, and now it is in the limelight, and it is very unwise to be an enemy of it.

Everyone muttered to themselves in their hearts, but when the news reached the ears of the head of the Du family and the head of the Wei family, their faces changed greatly, and their hearts were shocked.

This horse bandit gang is the cash cow and future ally of the two of them, this Ye Zhengguan knows it, how dare Ye Zhengguan risk offending the Du family and the Wei family to do such a stupid thing!

However, the team led by Ye Zhengguan had already set off, and in desperation, Du Xingji, the head of the Du family, could only find the head of the Wei family to discuss the matter.
