In the midst of the black qi, their faces became whiter and whiter, and their breath became more and more chaotic.

The three of them, who had been walking and chatting all the way, had become more and more reluctant to speak, and their heads were unwilling to think, so they just walked towards the depths of the Black Forest mechanically.

At the same time, it is also going towards a richer black gas!

When the figure of Ji Longjun's brothers was lost in the depths of the Black Forest, in a mysterious stone room in the Yamen, the city lord of Qicheng, the figure of Si Dao Wei was sitting around a tea table, quietly tasting high-quality black tea.

The person who is in the north is the city lord Qiu Caibee.

"In the south, Brother Wu captured three cities, wiped out a die-hard sect, and another three walled cities chose to join our forces. ”

Qiu Caibee said eloquently: "In the West, Brother Ye has united two sects and a walled city. In the east, Brother Leng annihilated four walled cities and one sect. ”

The other three listened quietly to Qiu Caibee's speech.

"The number of civilians in our sphere of influence has increased by 30 percent over the previous year, the tax revenue has increased by 30 percent compared with the previous year, and the number of troops has increased by almost 40 percent. ”

"Throughout last year, we have been able to integrate the southern border a little faster, and I think we can consider formulating a strategy for starting an all-out war with Ginkgo Valley again. ”

Qiu Caibee said and glanced at the big man opposite.

"Brother Qiu," said the big man, "it is a good thing that the number of troops increases, but the key to victory or defeat is not the number of people, but the ...... Talent!"

Qiu Caibee nodded: "That's right. Our government has strengthened the secret selection of talented young people within the force, but it is difficult to find talents, and this thing is not done overnight. ”

"Hmm. Brother Qiu, 'above' gave us a few first-class cheats, but if there is no suitable person to cultivate, even if we have cheats, it will be in vain. We are all old, and the next generation and the next generation are the key. ”

Qiu Caibee smiled: "At this point, I have to worry about Brother Lao Leng." ”

The big man on the opposite side said again: "Don't say that there are very few talents in Tianzong, that is, if you really dig out one or two good seedlings, without first-class martial arts, first-class masters, and first-class environment, it is extremely difficult to cultivate top masters." Moreover, Miao Zi still needs time to cultivate his internal strength, and he also needs to cultivate his combat experience, which is not an easy task......

Qiu Caibee nodded: "Brother Wu, it's man-made, we've done our best." If you want to rise, it is by no means an overnight achievement, the time, the place, and the people, these are all very important! However, we have had the advantage over the years, as long as there are no major changes, it is not impossible to unify the southern realm, even the unification of the entire wonder realm in the future. ”

"Not bad. ”

The big man on the other side finally smiled slightly, and his mood no longer seemed to be so dull.

"By the way, Brother Qiu, didn't the three thieves get back?"

Qiu Caibee said lightly: "I really didn't expect that Tang Youxin couldn't keep those three thieves when he went out in person, which was really beyond my expectations." It seems that the dragon is deliberately disgusting in the New Year, let's give a big gift. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Qiu Caibee said: "According to the information sent back by Brother Tang, those three teenagers fled straight to the north, and did not go straight to Fengyun City in the northeast. Brother Tang can say that the three teenagers have no strong points in martial arts, and the three of them can't go through a few rounds in his hands. ”

"Yes, Brother Wu, there are other real masters. Brother Kai is the general of Brother Leng, and the black-robed man who Kai personally led hundreds of warriors failed to keep that night, I am afraid that is the real murderer. ”

Qiu Caibee said and looked at the man sitting next to his left hand, who was about thirty years old, his face was cold, and he didn't say a word.

"Brother Leng, what is the strength of the person who can calmly escape from the hands of Kai and hundreds of warriors?"

Qiu Caibee asked.

"On top of the four of you and me. The man surnamed Leng said in a deep voice.

"The strength of the Wonder Realm can be above the four of us, I'm afraid it's rare, right?"

The man surnamed Wu opposite Qiu Caibee frowned and said, "It's the Crazy Dragon himself, hehe, I'm afraid Brother Leng won't give such an evaluation?"

The man surnamed Leng glanced at the big man surnamed Wu and did not speak.

"Okay, okay, Brother Wu, what are you doing here. Qiu Caibee waved his hand.

Looking at the face of the man surnamed Leng, he didn't seem to like others talking to him about the topic of the dragon against the sky.

"I heard that Brother Wu plans to invite a top forging master from Zu Miao Mountain to our Wonder Realm?"

"Not bad. ”

The man surnamed Wu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This master has already agreed, and I will send someone to the north to escort the master in a few days." Brother Qiu, you have to worry a lot about the materials. ”

"This is natural. In the future, Brother Wu is holding the artifact, how can Nagato Lao'er be your opponent?haha, haha!"

Qiu Cai Bee laughed to himself a few times, and was in a very happy mood.

"That's right, Brother Wu,"

Qiu Caibee said: "I heard that your brother Wu Tianhu fought with Xinggu in second place outside Qicheng City a month ago, in order to snatch a copy of the martial arts cheats that flowed out of Baibao Manor? ”

"Yes. ”

The man surnamed Wu sitting opposite was none other than Wu Tianhu's brother who robbed the secret book of the Demon Flow Mansion that day, Wu Tianbiao.

He is the owner of the Iron Hat Wall, one of the four city lords of Qicheng.

"Your brother's strength is not too far behind that of Brother Wu, and he has fought with us a few times immediately, and his strength is not bad. ”

Qiu Caifeng's face became solemn: "I can easily snatch the cheats from them, and the strength of this black-robed young man will not be much worse than the four of us." ”

"Hehe......" The man surnamed Leng sneered and said, "I'm not that confident that someone can easily snatch things from these people." ”

Qiu Caibee snorted and said with a smile: "Brother Leng is humble. ”

The man surnamed Leng said: "There is nothing humble or humble. Four people on the spot are equivalent to four Kai, or four Tang have new combat power. Everyone, who can confidently defeat the four Kai easily, or the four Tang Youxin?"

The man surnamed Leng especially glanced at Wu Tianbiao, who was sitting in the south: "Brother Wu, can you?"

Wu Tianbiao said: "Hehe, the old man can't." ”

"That's it. I heard that the owner of Baibao Manor has been staying in Qicheng during that time, if so many masters suddenly appear in Qicheng, I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with them, right?"

The man surnamed Leng stared at Qiu Caibee and asked.

"Hehe," Qiu Caibee waved his hand and said: "Brother Leng, you also know what the relationship between Baibao Manor and us is, even if someone makes a move, they will never rob that thing, let alone set fire to our military camp, isn't that their own pot?"

"In this way, there is someone else who has done these two cases? such a master, I really can't imagine where there is in the Strange Realm except for the Hundred Treasure Manor. Wu Tianbiao said.

"There is only one possibility, these people are from outside the territory. Frost City said coldly again.

"Extraterritorial?"

Wu Tianbiao said curiously, "The people of the 'Nine Realms Public Court' have been in the Wonder Realm these days, who dares to come to the Wonder Realm to make trouble?"

"Could it be that the people in the public court are making trouble?" asked the man surnamed Leng.

Qiu Caibee shook his head: "Impossible." This time, it was someone from the Mobei King Family who led the team. The king's family and we have always had no grievances, and their family's Bao Jiechen and the old husband's daughter still have a marriage contract, so it is impossible to take the initiative to stir up trouble. ”

"If you want to talk about age, the boy who robbed his brother's cheats is not much different from Bao Jiechen, I don't know how Bao Jiechen's martial arts are?" asked Wu Tianbiao.

"The martial arts are not weak, but they definitely can't defeat the four Kai brothers by one person, hehe. ”

Qiu Caibee smiled: "And Bao Jiechen didn't have much time after coming to Qicheng, he concentrated on taking care of the family business every day, and he had no interest in fighting and killing." ”

"Then Brother Qiu, you have found a good son-in-law. The man surnamed Leng sneered.

"Hehe, don't talk about him. ”

Qiu Caibee seems to be quite familiar with the temper of the man surnamed Leng, and he is not surprised by his speaking style.

"Brother Qiu, the people of the king's family don't like to fight and kill, but like to do business, whether you believe it or not, I definitely don't believe it. Wu Tianbiao said.

"Who knows, no matter what he wants to do, in short, it's not a bad thing that the royal family is willing to marry us. ”

"Speaking of which, the two people who did these two cases can only be from outside the territory. We and foreign forces have always been safe from river water, and with the constraints of the 'Nine Realms Public Court', the first-class forces outside the territory will not easily commit crimes across borders, so it is not easy to investigate this matter. ”

"Brother Qiu, when will the people of the 'Nine Realms Public Court' investigate, and will we still fight these small forces in the southern realm?" Wu Tianbiao asked again.

"Fight, naturally we have to continue fighting. ”

Qiu Caibee laughed and said, "The 'Nine Realms Public Court's restraint on forces is mainly in cross-border infiltration. Our Qicheng is a native force of the Strange World, and if there are any grievances with the surrounding walled cities, how to fight and how to fight. ”

"If you don't accumulate strength, how can you invade Apricot Valley, and how can you fight a decisive battle with the north?"

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

The middle-aged man sitting at the west head finally spoke, this person was wearing a yellow robe, his face was calm, and among the four people present, he was the only one who did not have the lofty aura of being a city lord.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have no objection to annexing the weaker forces, but be more tolerant of their people and disciples. Don't forget what our original intention is, killing people is never the best way to solve problems. ”

Qiu Caibee said: "Brother Ye, you can rest assured. The prestige of Qicheng has resounded throughout the Strange Realm, and many forces not only do not need to be forcefully crushed, but will even take the initiative to ask to join us. For some diehards, we will only target the leaders of the die-hards, and we will open up to those who are coerced. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I hope that the southern boundary of Qishan will be unified as soon as possible, and the people can live a peaceful life. The city lord surnamed Ye said to himself, and fell into silence again.

"Hehe, then let's discuss the overall plan for this year......" Qiu Caibee cleared his throat and said.

......

While the four city lords were negotiating in the secret room, Xiaojun and Dapeng, who had been trapped in the ruins of the palace for several days and had not been able to come out, finally got the permission of the elders on this day, ran out of the palace ruins and returned to the outer city.
