Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 346 City Lord Zeng’s Idea of ​​Making Money

As night falls, the entire Linhuan City is brightly lit, and the night is as bustling and noisy as ever.

Big figures from various forces were on their way to the city lord's mansion one by one.

The door of the City Lord's Mansion is wide open, and Butler Liao of the City Lord's Mansion has led the guards outside the door to wait for the arrival of the important figures.

Some people from small forces had arrived quickly and headed to the conference hall after being warmly received by Butler Liao of the City Lord's Mansion.

The three heads of the three top families in the city, the Ma family, the Mo family, and the Pan family, arrived late and arrived at the city lord's palace at the same time.

When Butler Liao saw the three arriving at the same time, his heart condensed and he quickly said respectfully:

"Master Mo, Master Pan, and Master Ma please come in quickly. The city master has been waiting for you three for more than a while!"

The expressions of the three family heads were different. Mo Xinwen, the head of the Mo family, was smiling, Pan Bojian, the head of the Pan family, was expressionless, and Ma Linfeng, the head of the Ma family, had a cold and arrogant expression.

After the three of them looked at each other, they simultaneously stepped into the city lord's mansion and headed to the conference hall.

This afternoon City Lord Zeng suddenly called everyone to gather tonight to discuss important matters.

Not long after Zeng City Lord came to Huancheng, he summoned all the forces in the city for the first time. I don't know if he was preparing for the new official to take office and give them power, or what?

The three of them have made up their minds that if Zeng Haolong is ignorant and harms the interests of their family, they will join forces to deal with Zeng Haolong and advance and retreat together.

They are not afraid of Zeng Haolong and the Zeng family behind them. There is a strong master behind the three major families. If they join forces, the Zeng family will give them face.

In the conference hall, more than 20 prominent heads of families and gangs in Linhuan City were seated one after another. Before Zeng Haolong appeared, these people were talking in low voices with their neighbors, communicating in various ways, and talking about various interests and cooperation matters. .

When the heads of the three major families entered the meeting hall, everyone fell silent and looked at the three heads with flickering eyes.

Many people nodded slightly at the same time.

After the three of them sat down, Mo Xinwen smiled at everyone when they saw everyone's attitude. Ma Linfeng and Pan Bojian also kindly greeted the family heads who came to say hello.

When everyone came together, the fat-bellied Zeng Haolong entered the conference hall with a few confidants.

After everyone saw Zeng Haolong arriving, they all closed their mouths and looked at Zeng Haolong.

Zeng Haolong strode up to the main seat, sat down naturally, and said with a very serious face: "Everyone, we have been summoned here today for a major event, a major event involving all the forces in Lianzhou!"

Zeng Haolong's tone was very serious, but he was very excited in his heart. He was still thinking about how to make money in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that when he and his concubine were just playing girl-girl games, the county guard's notice had already been issued.

Everyone's expressions froze when they heard Zeng Haolong's words, especially regarding the entire Lianzhou power issue.

Regarding the entire Lianzhou event, this is no joke.

Everyone looked at Zeng Haolong.

"You must all know that of the five southeastern states of our Dayu Dynasty, four of them were captured by the King of Chu. They will soon become one of the top overlords of the Dayu Dynasty."

There was a hint of fear on Zeng Haolong's solemn face. Lin Huan City was the closest place to Huanzhou. If the King of Chu attacked Lianzhou, they would be the first to bear the brunt.

"so what?"

The head of the Ma family, who looked cold and arrogant, said disapprovingly.

What does a top overlord like this have to do with them? If the King of Chu wants to attack, he can just surrender.

As long as he throws fast, there is nothing the King of Chu can do against him.

What are you afraid of!

There were also many people who had the same thoughts, and their expressions did not change at all. They were ready to surrender, and the gifts for King Chu's surrender were ready.

Zeng Haolong glanced at everyone and knew what they were thinking. Not only him, but also the Zeng family behind him had such thoughts, and had even secretly prepared a letter.

But it's different now.

Zeng Haolong showed a trace of sadness and said: "I believe you all know that all the major forces in Lianzhou have gathered in Liancang Mansion."

Everyone nodded slightly, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces. This was a top power. Who wouldn't be afraid of small powers like them?

Linhuan City where he is located is one of the eleven cities in Linhuan County, and Linhuan County is only one of the eight counties in Linhuan Prefecture.

The entire Lianhuan Mansion belongs to Fengxue Tower, one of the top forces, and this is still half of Fengxue Tower's territory.

This is the terror of top power.

Zeng Haolong continued: "Just yesterday, our five top forces in Lianzhou decided to join forces to deal with King Chu!"

"What!"

The leaders of various forces who had remained calm suddenly stood up one by one and said in horror:

"Are the five major forces crazy?"

"What do they want to do?"

"The King of Chu is the overlord who controls the four states. We, a mere Lianzhou, still want to deal with the King of Chu?"

The faces of the three masters also turned livid. The five top powers in Lianzhou were terrifying, but King Chu was even more terrifying.

Even if your five major forces join forces, you may not be able to win a state. You still have to deal with the King of Chu who has won four states.

Everyone's brain is broken?

The most terrifying thing is that if the five major forces have decided to unite to deal with the King of Chu, then unless these small forces run away now, otherwise they will be forced to join the alliance of the five major forces under the threat of the top forces.

So that's why everyone here is so nervous.

The King of Chu has not yet attacked. If he surrenders, he will be destroyed by the five major forces immediately.

"Everyone, don't worry, listen to me." Zeng Haolong was shocked when he first saw the news, but the subsequent news made him excited.

"It is impossible for our alliance of five major forces to be so stupid. How could we deal with the King of Chu alone? They have already united the imperial court." Zeng Haolong said with confidence.

"Even if they unite the imperial court, they may not be able to defeat the King of Chu." The smile that had been on Mo Xinwen's face had disappeared, and his face was ashen.

In the struggle between big forces and big forces, if ordinary people are cannon fodder, they are high-level cannon fodder.

Originally, I had no enmity with the King of Chu, and a letter of surrender could resolve the matter.

If you join this alliance, you may disappear unknowingly during a certain battle before surrendering.

"yes."

"Their top forces can fight for a long time, can we? This is too confusing."

As Patriarch Mo opened his mouth, some leaders of small forces also started talking.

At this moment, the lobby was full of discussions. The leaders of the small forces lived up to their previous magnanimity and were all worried.

"Ahem!" Zeng Haolong looked at everyone, cleared his throat and said:

"What if the imperial court adds Prince Yu!"

Zeng Haolong's voice echoed in the lobby, making the entire lobby quiet.

Everyone looked at Zeng Haolong with wide eyes, and the three masters couldn't help but straighten up.

Zeng Haolong changed into a comfortable position, leaned on the chair, and said with a smile on his face: "In less than three days, the news of the imperial court and Prince Yu sending troops will reach here!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and at this moment a leader stood up and said quickly: "I agree, our Lian family is willing to follow the footsteps of the five major forces!"

"I agree!"

"agree!"

"I agree."

Everyone became excited. They didn't want to deal with King Chu before because they didn't see the hope of victory.

Now that the imperial court has added King Yu and all their forces in Lianzhou, how can King Chu stop them?

If the king of Chu is defeated, the king of Chu will have the entire four states under his command. If they can't drink the soup, they can always grab some of the residue.

The three masters looked at each other and nodded. A surge of blood surged into their hearts. They also wanted to fight and join in this battle.

Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Zeng Haolong smiled. The twenty or so people present represented the entire Linhuan City, so now it was time to talk about the next move.

"It seems that everyone is very aware. This city lord can tell you that all the major forces are now ready. Fengxue Tower will send 200,000 troops to our Linhuan City in three days. After that, the major forces will continue to send Come to the army, King Yu and the imperial army will arrive in half a month, and then they will start from our Linhuan City and enter Huanzhou!"

Zeng Haolong’s excited voice echoed throughout the lobby.

Everyone became more and more excited after hearing the words. King Yu and the imperial court were stronger than the five major forces. If their family was favored by someone, wouldn't it be possible to soar into the sky?

"We support City Lord Zeng!"

"That's right, we will do whatever City Lord Zeng tells us to do!"

"Your arrival, City Master Zeng, has brought great luck to our entire Linhuan City!"

One by one, the leaders of the forces said excitedly, looking at City Master Zeng with great respect. In this way, once they invade Huanzhou, their Linhuan City will become the most critical support and transportation point.

This is a great achievement!

Stop talking about them, the entire Linhuan City is about to take off!

Seeing the attitude of everyone's approval, Zeng Haolong was so excited that he stood up and said loudly: "Very good, so we want them to see the best face of our Linhuan City and welcome their arrival with the best attitude!"

Everyone nodded in unison, not wanting Zeng Haolong to say that this was what they wanted to do.

"Therefore, the city lord plans to drastically change the appearance of the entire Linhuan City in the next few days. First of all, the old military uniforms and weapons of the city guards must be replaced with new ones."

"Wherever the road is broken, don't repair it. Just dig it out and replace it with a new one. City gates and streets. Repaint the paint..." Zeng Haolong waved his hand, his eyes showed the flames of battle, and kept telling everything that needed to be rectified. , to make the entire Linhuan City the most expensive and expensive...

No, those things that have a bad impact must be replaced to make the entire Linhuan City look brand new!

Listening to Zeng Haolong's words, everyone's excited expressions slowly disappeared. How could they not understand what Zeng Haolong meant by stepping on the horse?

Zeng Haolong continued: "All this cannot rely on us alone, but on the entire Linhuan City, so I hope that everyone will send everyone from tomorrow to call on the people in the city to donate money, work hard, contribute to our Linhuan City, and welcome the imperial court The army is coming!"

After hearing Zeng Haolong's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and their faces showed excited smiles.

That’s right, everyone needs to work together!

"Zeng Chengzhu is righteous!"
