Chapter 254: Chaotic Karakuri City
"You kid, looking for a daughter-in-law to find a foreign country?"
Liu Chu and Qiu Cheng sat on a big rock, and Liu Chu said with a strange expression.
"Emotionally, you can't stop it. Qiu Cheng said with a smile.
"How long have you been together?" asked Liu Chu.
"If you start from the beginning of acquaintance, there are some days, but if you talk about the time together, it's only a week. Qiu said.
"You're like a god!" Liu Chu was slightly surprised.
"It's still the same sentence, the emotion comes up, and I can't stop it. Autumn Carrier shrugged.
Qiu Chengyun looked at Jiang Xinyue, who was bandaging Jiang Mazi's wound not far away, his eyes were full of love, and what moved him even more was that Jiang Xinyue had practiced speaking hard for herself, and now she was able to speak and communicate basically without barriers!
"Then you can do it here, I'll go first, and the emperor's order is still with me. Liu Chu said.
"Well, let's go, let's go. Autumn carried his hand and waved.
Liu Chu turned over his horse and left with five hundred horses, but he didn't go far, Liu Chu suddenly stopped the red-blooded dragon horse under his seat, as if he thought of something, turned his head and shouted to Qiu Chengyun: "You kid, don't get married so fast, wait for me to come back!"
"Ahh
Jiang Xinyue on the side happened to see it and read Qiu Chengyun's lips, so she rolled her eyes wildly.
Qiu Cheng touched his head in embarrassment.
Liu Chu gave Qiu Carrier a big scorn, and then left again.
Three days later, Liu Chu and five hundred horsemen had entered the range of Karakuri City, and several surrounding mountains were arranged with exquisite mechanisms, once a foreign enemy invaded, even if it was thousands of troops and horses, they would suffer heavy losses here.
"I don't know what happened to my uncle. Tong Botao faced the hometown of Karakuri City again, and he also sighed a little.
"Let's go. Liu Chu waved his hand, and everyone rushed towards Karakuri City.
"I'm afraid that there is a lot of chaos in the city of Karakum, and the envoys of various countries are probably there. Wei Suo said.
"I'm afraid of a ball, we have insiders!" Liu Chu pointed at Tong Botao.
"That's it, I'm here, no problem!" Tong Botao enjoyed Liu Chu's praise very much, and slapped his chest with a pop.
Karakuri City is generally open to the outside world, after all, it also needs the inflow of economy and the export of goods, so Liu Chu placed five hundred horsemen outside the city, and he, Tong Botao and Wei Suo were also put in after a simple check by the city guards.
"Why is there no one on the street, and business is so deserted. Tong Botao was a little puzzled, the Karakuri City in his impression was not like this.
It should be the kind of person who walks down the street and may be stepped on by others at any time.
"Strange, it's so strange! Go, I'll take you to my uncle's house. Tong Botao said and took Liu Chu and Wei Suo towards Tong Zhengping's house.
Tong Zhengping, one of the top ten masters in the Central Plains and the city lord of Karakuri City, is the only person who can create a nine-grade half-ink core nowadays, and he has single-handedly created a book.
However, the ink stone mine is about to run out, and the profession of ink master will eventually come to an end, and whether or not he can create a nine-grade and a half ink core is not so amazing.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, once there is no raw material, it is to give you the best ingredients, and you can't make good things. "No one is at home?" When he arrived at Tong Zhengping's house, Tong Botao knocked on the door several times, but no one came to open the door.
"Is it going to be something going on somewhere?" Wei Suo guessed.
"Possibly, let's go to the main hall of Karakuri City. Tong Botao nodded approvingly.
The main hall of Karakuri Castle is where the lord of Karakuri Castle usually holds a meeting.
Today's main hall of Karakuri City is really lively, and there are people wearing all kinds of colorful clothes, men, women and children.
These people are all from different countries, but the big and small forces, they all come here for the same purpose, trying to get a piece of fat from the camel that is about to die of emaciation.
Today, it is they who have joined forces to force the palace against Karakuri City!
"Deputy City Lord, where is the City Lord?" an elder asked strangely, at this time, why hasn't Tong Zhengping come yet?
"I don't know. Tong Tianping shook his head.
However, there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth, Tong Zhengping, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago at this moment!
He is going to squeeze the last vestige of the value of the Clever City, and then run away with the benefits of the harvest!
Tong Tianping is a person from the other side of Karakuri City, and his sense of belonging to Karakuri City is far inferior to Tong Zhengping's lineage, so he can really do this kind of thing.
"Why hasn't the city lord come yet? What time is it now that you have finished discussing the noon meeting?" Why haven't you come yet?"
"yes, is this a no-show?"
"I've been waiting for a long time, and I hope to invite Master Tong out as soon as possible. ”
There was some commotion at the scene, and many people were impatient to wait, and there was a tendency to get out of control.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, our city lord may have something to delay, in this case, let me temporarily take the city lord and preside over this meeting." Tong Tianping said.
"You, can you represent? you're just a deputy city lord, right?" someone questioned.
"In the absence of the lord of the city, the deputy lord of the castle may exercise full authority as the lord of the castle. An elder stepped forward and explained.
Hearing the elder speak like this, the scene fell silent slightly.
"Deputy City Lord, our request is very simple, Karakuri City is now going to tide over the difficulties, and our help is indispensable, so what can Karakuri City give us in return?" someone asked directly.
"It's very simple, if you have any demands, you can put them forward directly, and we will meet them all. Tong Tianping said.
As soon as Tong Tianping's words came out, many elders changed color slightly, this guy wants to sell the clever city!
"I think your heavy crossbow is good, I wonder if you can tell me how to make it?" asked a small tribal khan from the northern steppes.
"As far as you blazing spirits, what are you going to do with heavy crossbows, and who else do you want to attack?" someone sneered disdainfully.
"What do you have to do with it?" the Khan snorted.
"There is a consultation. Tong Tianping just nodded.
Everyone's hearts moved, but they didn't expect Tong Tianping to agree so quickly.
"Deputy City Lord, our clan is in urgent need of water conservancy facilities, I wonder if the Deputy City Lord can send someone to help build water conservancy projects?" another person asked.
"No problem. Tong Tianping nodded.
"Deputy City Lord, we need some wooden armor. ”
"Vice City Lord, we want your weapon-making method. ”
"Vice City Lord, we ......"
More and more people scrambled to speak, and Tong Tianping agreed without refusal!
"Everyone, please be quiet, I will try my best to meet your conditions, but in the same way, what you promised to Karakuri City must also be delivered within two months, can you have any objections?" Tong Tianping asked.
"Two months? My tribe is far away, two months is a bit of a stretch, I wonder if six months is good?" asked one of the tribal leaders.
"Six months, did you crawl here?" another tribal leader scolded, smiling.
"Hahahaha!" the crowd burst into laughter.
"Three months at most! Within three months, as long as everyone's things are in place, then everything is easy to say!" Tong Tianping relaxed the deadline for another month.
"Vice City Lord, this is a bit inappropriate, this is to compensate us for the entire Karakuri City!" an elder said.
"Yes, Deputy City Lord, although we urgently need some supplies, we haven't reached this point!"
"Besides, we are short of supplies, and it's not because of these dogs!" said an elder scoldingly.
There is a serious shortage of materials in Karakuri City now, and it is all caused by these people.
These people knew that Karakuri's inkstone mines were about to run out, so they deliberately did not buy anything from Karakuri, resulting in a surplus of things in Karakuri City, which could not be exchanged and could not obtain the materials they wanted.
Now in Karakuri City, there is a shortage of food and all kinds of daily necessities, and some people have begun to starve to death!
"I've got the final say!" Tong Tianping ignored these people.
"Deputy City Lord, what's the point of cooperating with these small tribes, isn't it good to cooperate with our Wei State?"
The envoys of Wei stood up.
"That is, isn't it good to cooperate with our Wu State?" The envoys of Wu State also stood up.
The envoys of the Nine Kingdoms, except for the representatives of Wei who had not yet arrived, all the others stood up one after another.
As soon as the eight powerful countries stood up, some small tribes immediately retreated, and they didn't dare to fight these people.
These countries, just pull out an army of tens of thousands of people, and they can wipe out their tribes!
There are also some forces and tribes that have not retreated, and they are not afraid of countries such as Wei and Wu.
"Oh, I don't know what kind of price you can offer?" Tong Tianping was also waiting for the envoys of Wei and Wu to stand up.
After all, these countries are the real fat sheep, and they can exchange more good things from their hands!
"Double! Everything, double!"
"The conditions are also very simple, the city of Ingenuity is under the control of my Wei State! From now on, you will be guaranteed that the people in the city will have no worries about food and clothing!" the envoy of the Wei State stretched out two fingers.
As soon as the envoy of Wei said this, the scene was in an uproar, this is to swallow the entire Karakuri City!
Tong Tianping also changed color slightly, but soon returned to normal, what happened to Karakuri City in the future, it had nothing to do with him, he just needed to get what he wanted.
