Three days later, Ma Yuan woke up, saw Zheng Lei, and hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you for the hero's life-saving grace, Ma Yuan is grateful." ”

Zheng Lei nodded slightly and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?"

Ma Yuan was slightly stunned and asked, "What kind of place is this?"

"Jiuquan City, in your words, is a private city. Zheng Lei looked at Ma Yuan and said.

Ma Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he asked in a low voice: "Thank you hero for saving your life, if you are not a hero, I am afraid that you will be killed by Dong Sheng of Tianshui City." ”

"Dong Sheng, why did he kill you?" Zheng Lei asked.

"Just because I said the wrong thing at the banquet, he was furious and beat me to a serious injury, I couldn't get angry, so I escaped all the way, and he released a spell to chase and kill, and I ran to the hero in a panic. Ma Yuan said.

Zheng Lei smiled slightly and said, "If you want, stay in Jiuquan for the time being, but I don't force you, you can leave here at any time." ”

Ma Yuan hurriedly got up, bowed to Zheng Lei, and said: "The city lord is above, Ma Yuan is willing to defect to the city lord and work together to dominate the industry!"

"I don't have any interest in hegemony, I'm just doing some small things, for example, letting Tianshui City change hands!" Zheng Lei looked at Ma Yuan and said softly.

He could clearly see Ma Yuan's body, but then Ma Yuan smiled, and said with an excited look: "Is the city lord really willing to help me avenge this?"

Zheng Lei smiled slightly, and did not answer his words, but said: "You should know Busen, go to him, and ask him to arrange a place for you to live." ”

Ma Yuan bowed lightly, and before he could speak, Zheng Lei had already left. He looked at Zheng Lei's back, his heart was complicated, he seemed to feel the hostility exuded by Zheng Lei, as if this person did not accept him, even if he left him in the city, but he was left with a vigilant mind, and now that he has joined Jiuquan City, he just asked Bu Sen to arrange a place for him to live.

He knew Busen, after all, they were all big demons in Tianshui City, and they all knew each other, he only heard that Busen had defected to the enemy city, but he didn't expect that Busen seemed to be very important here, but he couldn't figure out why Zheng Lei was full of hostility to him from the beginning.

In fact, even Zheng Lei himself didn't know why, since he broke through to the fifth step, he had a very strange feeling, he always felt as if there was something in front of him, but when he wanted to see it, there was nothing left, and even his Yuan Sense Exploration couldn't detect anything at all.

At the first glance of Ma Yuan this time, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what was wrong, so he kept vigilant and didn't really accept Ma Yuan at all.

Ma Yuan, who found Busen, was like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen him for many years, drinking and talking, but as the deputy city lord, Busen invisibly sank his mind a lot, many words, if he was in Tianshui City before, he might have been open-mouthed, but now, every word he said, he would think carefully in his mind three times before he said it cautiously.

Through Ma Yuan's words, Busen seemed to understand Zheng Lei's intentions, so he didn't arrange any position for Ma Yuan, but just issued a notice to the entire city, so that all the city's citizens knew that they had another big demon.

In this way, Ma Yuan stayed in Jiuquan City, but he may be the most idle person in Jiuquan City, no one assigned him any work, after understanding the rules of Jiuquan City, he also understood that it was impossible to be in Jiuquan City like in Tianshui City, many things, done in Tianshui City, but could not be done here.

After all, as a fifth-step demon, no matter which city you are in, you can get certain privileges, one of these privileges is to be able to devour the little demons who offend you, and such privileges also give these big demons a chance to take advantage of them, often using some strange excuses to devour some little demons.

However, in the same way, because of the existence of this privilege, he is not absolutely safe in Tianshui City, because Dong Sheng can devour him at any time for offending the city lord.

So after knowing the rules of Jiuquan City, for a few days, his heart was shaken, but after the struggle, it was a different result.

Ma Yuan's defection made Jiuquan City's acceptance plan officially start, and there were constantly little demons who came to visit, and after knowing the rules of Jiuquan City, they did not hesitate to choose to settle in Jiuquan City.

The demon world has a large population, even if it is just the little demons who sneaked out of the surrounding small cities, it also made Jiuquan City extremely busy, for this reason, Zheng Lei specially set up a department to review and accept the little demons who came to them, after all, even if they want to accept people, they can't grab their beards and eyebrows, and they can take people in without a little investigation, after all, the matter of accepting people has a certain impact on other cities.

If you rashly accept people, if you accept people with ulterior motives, you are digging your own grave.

The people in charge of this department are Xu Hu and Xu Qing, who are practicing the one hand, and busy with this matter on the other, and they are also full and happy for a while. The reason why Zheng Xiaowu was not put in charge of this part of the matter was because Xiao Wu had something new to do, which was to practice with Busen.

Busen's body is also a fog demon, in the cultivation, he can naturally give Zheng Xiaowu a lot of guidance, and being able to have a fifth-step demon guidance is something that all the little demons dream of, so Zheng Xiaowu politely refused everything and followed Busen to practice wholeheartedly.

When Jiuquan City became regular, Zheng Lei began a peaceful life, rarely disturbed him every day, he was also happy to be idle, taking Hu Xiaowan for a walk in the city every day, on the one hand, to see the life of the city residents, on the other hand, it was also an encouragement to the city residents, so that the city residents knew that their city lord cared about them very much, so that they were full of enthusiasm whether they were practicing or working.

Time passed slowly, Jiuquan City is developing almost at the speed of light, in just one year, the city scope of Jiuquan City has doubled, and the population has also grown to 300,000, this number, so that Zheng Lei is very happy, the growth of the population base, means that their strength is expanding little by little, according to this development, in another year, to attack Tianshui City will have a certain capital.

However, this year, not only Zheng Lei was constantly preparing, Dong Sheng of Tianshui City used this year to carefully select three big demons, as well as 100,000 soldiers, it seems that he is ready to attack Jiuquan City at any time, and now, he seems to only lack an excuse.

Similarly, in this year, there is no idle, there is also a Shi Yong, in order to allow himself to smoothly get seventy percent of the foundation of Tianshui City, he also used this year's time to train an army of nearly 150,000, it seems that the foundation of Tianshui City is indeed very deep, in order to get seventy percent of Tianshui City, he is even ready to lose the 150,000 army.

According to his calculations, Zheng Lei will definitely send troops to Tianshui City within two years. However, people have a thousand worries and must make a mistake, even if he can calculate that Zheng Lei will send troops to Tianshui City within two years, but he did not calculate that Dong Sheng has already found an excuse to send troops to Jiuquan City.

Overnight, outside the city of Tianshui City, there were more than 100,000 troops, 100,000 troops, just looking at it was enough to make people frightened, such an obvious information was sent to Zheng Lei's ears for the first time, and he hurriedly summoned the management of the city to a meeting.

For a year, Zheng Lei hadn't seen the fog demon, but when he saw him at this moment, he found that he had reached the peak of the fourth step of cultivation, and he couldn't help but feel a slight joy in his heart.

After everyone arrived, Zheng Lei directly began to arrange everyone's tasks: "Tianying, you quickly go to Houtu City and tell Brother Shi Yong the news." Xu Hu Xu Qing, you immediately organize the people of the whole city and prepare to enter the secret realm, Xiao Wu, you and Xiao Shui immediately organize people to transfer the brewery to the secret realm, the four captains, you immediately organize your own troops, this time we may have to usher in a vicious battle, I hope this time we can get the final victory. ”

After arranging these, after everyone was ordered to leave, Zheng Lei thought for a moment, nodded to Busen, and took him to find Ma Yuan, who was idle and panicked, as soon as Ma Yuan heard that Tianshui City was attacking, he immediately showed excitement, and said happily: "It's finally here! My revenge can finally be avenged!"

Zheng Lei smiled slightly and said, "Ma Yuan, this time Tianshui City invaded us for no reason, we don't have a peaceful life here for the time being, so it's better for you to avoid it elsewhere." ”

Ma Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "City Lord, although I, Ma Yuan, were forced to defect to you, but in such a dangerous situation, how could I escape alone?

Zheng Lei took Ma Yuan's hand and said: "Brother, I understand your kindness, but this time is different, Tianshui City seems to have about 100,000 troops, so many soldiers, we are difficult to resist, so we have to grieve you to go elsewhere to hide for the time being, and wait until the war is over, if we win, it is not too late for you to come back, once we fail, then you go to another city, with your cultivation, no matter what city you go, you will not be treated badly." ”

Ma Yuan shook his head again and again, and said: "Lord Meng City will not give up, let me live a peaceful life in Jiuquan City for a year, I am too late to be grateful, if the Water City invades Jiuquan City today, how can I sit idly by? ”
