Chapter 645: The City Lord's Rebellion Causes Anxiety (Second Update)
Zhang Rang noticed that in the entire Wu County, there were four largest cities.
In addition to the Tianwu City where he is now, there are also Wangxi City, Weiyuan City, and Tianyun City.
Among them, Wangxi City is a military town and is responsible for the defense of the Western Regions, so the city lord of Wangxi City is also the general of the army around Wangxi City.
This person is conscientious, and does not listen to anyone's commands, but concentrates on guarding his own territory, beware of people from the Western Regions suddenly calling.
It can be said that although this man did not send anyone to see him, he was indeed a good general.
Concentrate on defending the country.
Such a person, Zhang Rang will not move.
And the city lord of Weiyuan City, although he has no military power, will gather the two generals stationed nearby under his hands to help him do things.
It can be said that this city lord named Zanan is quite a means.
And the city lord of Tianyun City is named Lei Xiao, and it is said that this Lei Xiao is a person from the Lei Mountain faction.
Now, the entire Tianyun City has become one of the strongholds of the Thunder Mountain Sect.
Zhang Rang knew that this Thunder Mountain Sect was one of the seven Sects of Lingshan, and if it was against the Thunder Mountain Sect, there would be no good fruit to eat.
This Thunder Mountain Sect, formerly known as the Yunhai Immortal Sect, was originally a Jianghu force in the East China Sea, but later wanted to attack the Five Elements Upper Sect, but was severely damaged by the Holy Fire Sect.
As a result of that battle, the Holy Fire Sect itself suffered great damage, and the Yunhai Immortal Sect was almost destroyed.
Especially in the mountain gate of the Yunhai Immortal Sect in the East China Sea, it was directly destroyed.
Only some of the remaining disciples dared to go back after a few months, packed up some of the sect's cheats, and did not dare to continue to stay in the East China Sea, so they fled all the way, regaining their strength little by little, and at the same time, they wanted revenge.
Later, they randomly found a decent mountain, changed the name of the mountain to Lei Mountain, and they also changed their name to Lei Mountain faction.
The martial arts of this Thunder Mountain Sect contain powerful thunder attributes, so not everyone can cultivate.
It is precisely because of this reason that the Leishan faction has been declining all these years.
In the end, he could only learn the Holy Fire Sect and continuously absorb the masters of the rivers and lakes from the outside to join the Thunder Mountain Sect.
Thinking of this, Zhang Rang felt that this Cloud Sky City was not completely impossible to take.
After all, the Thunder Mountain Sect did not have the kind of disciples of the Tianshan Sect who were extremely loyal.
I'm afraid that half of the people in the Leishan Sect joined later, and these people can't be treated as core disciples by the Leishan Sect, and they themselves only join for the sake of benefits and benefits.
As long as you can deter them, and the conditions you give are good enough, then there is nothing to worry about.
As for the Jianghu forces in Wujun, in addition to being a little troublesome when they came out of Tianyun City, it was the Northern Martial Gang and the Heavenly Sword Alliance in the south, which secretly had business dealings with Xishu.
These two Jianghu forces are both first-class Jianghu forces.
And there are two powerhouses of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm.
It's just that it's only the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, and the strongest one is only the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm.
After Zhang Rang finished reading this list, he smiled faintly.
It's a bit of a hassle, after all, there's a lot to deal with.
It's just that these things are not really difficult things to deal with.
The only thing that is a little difficult to deal with is probably only Tianyun City.
As for Weiyuan City, although the city lord has the military power under his command, I am afraid that there are almost 15,000 people under his command, but he doesn't feel the need for it, but they take it seriously.
After arriving in Tianwu City, Zhang Rang rested in Tianwu City for three days.
In these three days, on the one hand, it was to relieve the fatigue along the way, and on the other hand, Zhang Rang also got information from the other three counties.
It can be said that although the situation in the other three counties is not very good, most of the city lords and officials, as well as the generals in the army, are watching.
If Zhang Rang can clear the opposition here in Wujun, then they will immediately show obedience.
On the contrary, if Zhang Rang can't handle the affairs of Wujun well, it is estimated that they will not obey Zhang Rang's management.
Therefore, Zhang Rang knew that the most important thing at the moment was to deal with this mess in Wujun.
Three days later, Zhang Rang publicly sent a letter to the Beiwu Gang and the Heavenly Sword Alliance, asking the bosses of the two first-class Jianghu forces to meet.
Moreover, Zhang Rang made it public that he would go to the meeting alone and would not bring anyone else.
If Zhang Rang took a large group of masters, or brought an army, these two Jianghu forces might still be a little worried.
But now Zhang Rang is coming alone, and this alone is enough to show sincerity.
Moreover, the meeting place was chosen by the Beiwu Gang and the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
In the end, the location of the meeting was set at Yunhua Peak in Wujun.
Yunhua Peak is said to be a peak, but it is actually not very high, and around Yunhua Peak, there are many peaks that are also not very high.
For some martial artists with good eyesight, the movement of Yunhua Peak can even be seen on the surrounding peaks.
Now, these two Jianghu forces are a little worried about Zhang Rang, so they chose such a place, for fear that Zhang Rang would suddenly send someone to make a move.
Zhang Rang agreed to this place, and a few days later, Zhang Rang really came to Yunhua Peak alone.
However, Zhang Rang came alone, but whether it was the Beiwu Gang or the Heavenly Sword Alliance, there were no less than 100 people sent by them.
And that's just what Zhang Rang can see now.
On top of the other surrounding peaks, there are not necessarily many people who are unknown to Zhang Rang and the others.
"Unexpectedly, Master Zhang really kept his promise and said that he came alone, so he really came alone. ”
With the help of the Beiwu Gang, Bei Anle bowed his hand to Zhang Rang.
On the side, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance, Jing Chao laughed, "That's a person, Master Zhang is not only the master of the Tongque Division, but also the Duke of Qingguo personally appointed by the emperor, and the fief is the four counties in the west! ”
Zhang Rang smiled slightly, "I'm a little Qingguo Gong, what is there to envy." The imperial court made me a duke, but the annual income is so small. Where are the two of you, whether it is the Beiwu Gang or the Heavenly Sword Alliance, you two first-class Jianghu forces have joined forces to maintain the lifeline of trade between Wujun and Xishu, selling some things that the imperial court is not allowed to sell. Earning a lot of gold and silver, this is enviable. ”
This kind of thing is not said in public.
But Zhang Rang just said it.
At this moment, many martial artists from the other peaks around Huayun Peak could not fully hear the words here, but they could also hear some of them.
Bei Anle waved his hand again and again, "Qingguo Gong, don't be joking! What you just said, my Beiwu Gang has never done it." ”
The leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance on the side smiled, "What are you nervous about?" ”
Zhang Rang shook his head, "I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth." It's just that I'm a big Han and a strong country with a military. Now the countries of the Western Regions are poking and prodding, and they are very restless. So, I need military spending. And what the two gangs are doing, I can turn a blind eye, but from now on, you have to hand over half of the proceeds. How?"
Whether it is Bei Anle or Zhang Jingchao, the two of them originally earned it by themselves, but now they want to divide half of it, so naturally they will not agree.
"Master Zhang, we really haven't done the things you said!"
"Yes, yes! This kind of joke, Master Zhang still doesn't want to make it. ”
Zhang Rang nodded, "In that case, it seems that I misunderstood the two of you." Then from now on, I allow you two gangs to do this kind of thing. However, because I allowed it, I asked Zhang Rang to share 70% of the profits. Two, do you have any questions?"
