Zhao Hai and his group had just arrived at the door of the City Lord's Mansion when a man walked out of the City Lord's Mansion immediately. This man looked to be in his sixties, with gray hair. He looked very energetic.
It gives people a sense of calmness and shrewdness.
There were two guards in front of the city lord's mansion. As soon as the two guards saw this man, they immediately saluted him and said, "I've seen Mr. Qi." The general who was following Zhao Hai also saluted him.
The old man saluted and said, "I've met Mr. Qi."
The old man just nodded, and then he said to Zhao Hai: "This must be a guest from ** City State, right? Sir, the general and the city lord are waiting for you, sir."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "I have met the old gentleman and he is polite in the field."
The old man quickly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian please come in." Zhao Hai nodded and followed the old man to the city lord's mansion. As for Shi Zhui and the others, Zhao Hai didn't care about them, because Zhao Hai knew that those
People will definitely put them in a good place.
Zhao Hai followed General Manager Qi into the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the second door of the City Lord's Mansion. Then he stopped in front of a study room. Then General Manager Qi entered the study, and then immediately came out and said to Zhao Hai: "
Sir, please, Lord City Lord, please come in." Zhao Hai nodded and entered the study.
As soon as Zhao Hai entered the study room, he saw a person. This person was standing there looking at Zhao Hai. He looked to be in his forties and was wearing navy blue clothes. The clothes did not look very gorgeous.
But wearing it on this person makes you feel extraordinary. This clothes looks like a samurai uniform. But it is more beautiful and smoother than ordinary samurai uniforms. It can be seen that the material is very good.
Zhao Hai saluted the man and said, "Tian Hecao has met the Lord of the City."
The city lord said in a deep voice: "That's all, sir, you don't have to be so polite. Please sit down." As he spoke, he pointed to the rest area next to him. At that time, his voice was a little deep, and coupled with his burly figure, it made
A person has a very calm, yet amazingly powerful feeling. Just like a mountain, it may not be dangerous, but it is very high.
After Zhao Hai thanked him, he went to the rest area and sat down. The city lord also went to the rest area and sat down. Manager Qi immediately gave them tea and then retreated behind the city lord.
After the city lord took a sip of tea, he glanced at Zhao Hai and said, "Sir, what position does he hold in the city?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "I don't dare. I'm just a consultant in the city. I don't have any actual duties."
When the city lord heard what Zhao Hai said, he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "I wonder what you are doing when you come to Giant Rock City this time?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Nothing to do, just traveling. Our city lord has a problem. He likes to collect various plants. This time we came out to collect plant seeds for the city lord. Did you just come down from the mountain?
After a while, Giant Rock City happened to be nearby, so we wanted to take a rest here."
The city lord looked at Zhao Hai and nodded and said: "So that's it. Although our giant rock city-state doesn't have much contact with the **city-state, we still want to congratulate the **city-state for being able to unify all the cities in the **mountainous area. This is very important for the **mountainous area."
It's also a good thing for the people here. This time I heard that your husband has arrived in Big Rock City, so I wanted to invite him to come over and chat about the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two city-states. I want to establish diplomatic relations with the city-state of **. I don't know, sir.
What do you think?"
When Zhao Hai heard what the city lord said, he couldn't help but be startled, then his eyes flashed, he looked at the city lord and said: "Of course, we are very welcome. Being able to form an alliance with a city-state like Giant Rock City-State is really a big deal for us.
It's the best. I'll write a report right away and ask my subordinates to go back to the City Lord with the report. I believe the City Lord will reply soon."
When the city lord heard what Zhao Hai said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that the advisor, sir, has a lot of power. Will the city lord Zhao Hai really listen to your opinion?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Sometimes the advisor's power is very great, and sometimes it is very small. However, the city lord is a person who knows people well and is willing to listen to their opinions. And now in the city-state, there is also a
A city-state that has formally established diplomatic relations, I believe the city lord will be very happy if you, city lord, can establish diplomatic relations with the city-state ** at this time."
The city lord smiled and said: "The ** mountainous area was unified and the teleportation array was restored in the shortest time. This is something that many city-states wanted to do but failed to do. Although the ** city-state has just been established, in my opinion
, but it has unlimited potential. Forming an alliance with the city-state is a win-win situation, so I naturally agree."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "It's best if the city lord thinks so, but now many people don't think so. In the eyes of those people, our city-state is just a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
Not many people can think like this, Lord City Lord."
The city lord shook his head and said with a smile: "Those people are just short-sighted people. The city lord Zhao Hai can conquer the entire city-state in such a short period of time with a small backing city. That is definitely not the case for ordinary people."
It can be done. In this case, they actually think that the city-state of ** is a piece of fat. That is just asking for death. I am just the opposite of them. In my opinion, the development of the city-state of ** is unlimited. Listen
It is said that there is a set of policies implemented there, which are different from those of our city-states. I have also done some understanding, and the policies implemented there are really good. It is a pity. The financial resources of the Yancheng State in our area are limited, and there is no way to implement those policies. It is a pity.
.”
Zhao Haidao thought that what the city lord said might be true, but it could only be regarded as half-truth. He might really see the benefits of that policy, but he had no strength to implement it.
But it is impossible. In fact, in the Spiritual Army World, the city-states are not weak in strength and financial resources. If they are willing to implement the same policy, it is possible. However, in the Spiritual Army World, the people of each city-state
None of them have a sense of security, and they all want to keep more money in their hands, so that even if one day in the future, they are really kicked out of their position as city lords, they can still live on that money.
It is precisely because of this mentality that the city lords of every city-state are just trying their best to make money. Like Yalong City-state, a city-state that has not had a foreign master for more than a thousand years is already considered an anomaly in the world of spiritual soldiers.
So when he heard what the city lord said, Zhao Hai just smiled slightly without any expression. He just smiled and said: "The city lord just happened to meet at the right time. The city lord still wants to focus on training. If the city lord hadn't been
After receiving news that the general of the Spirit Snake City State is preparing to break the city, if he does not seal the sword for three days, the city lord will not take action. However, after asking for support from the mountain city, it is tantamount to offending the Spirit Snake City State. If the Spirit Snake City cannot be
Once the city-state was solved, it would be very troublesome, so we occupied the territory of the Spirit Snake City-state. Originally, the city lord was satisfied and didn't want to take care of things anymore. But he didn't expect that people from other city-states in the ** mountainous area would come to attack again.
In the end, the city lord of the Spirit Snake City-State had no choice but to fight back and swallowed up the entire mountainous area. Now the city lord still focuses on training, and he has left the affairs of the city-state to his subordinates to take care of."
The Lord of Giant Rock City looked at Zhao Hai and said: "So that's the case, then I don't know why City Lord Zhao Hai didn't hand over the city-state to you, sir, to take care of it?"
Zhao Hai said with a smile: "I don't have that kind of ability. I can help the city lord do something. I am already very happy. Managing a city-state? I don't even dare to think about it."
The Lord of Giant Rock City smiled slightly and said nothing. Instead, he turned his head towards the general manager and said, "General Manager Qi, are you ready for the banquet?"
Manager Qi nodded and said: "If you want to return to the city lord, we are ready. Everyone has arrived at the restaurant and is waiting for you."
The Lord of Giant Rock City nodded, stood up and said: "Sir, please, I have arranged a banquet in the restaurant to wash off your dust. I hope you will give me a favor, sir." Zhao Hai naturally had no reason not to agree, so he quickly stood up and thanked him.
After that, he followed the Lord of Giant Rock City and walked to the restaurant.
The restaurant in the Lord's Mansion of Giant Rock City is really big, probably more than a thousand square meters. There are many small tables there. Except for the big table at the top where the Lord of Giant Rock City sits, others use larger tables than that.
When Zhao Hai, who was about half as big as the younger one, and the Lord of Giant Rock City entered the restaurant, everyone in the restaurant saluted the Lord of Giant Rock City. The Lord of Giant Rock City also nodded to those people, and then came to the main seat.
Then he asked Zhao Hai to sit down on his left side.
After Zhao Hai sat down, the Lord of Giant Rock City said to his men: "Everyone, please sit down. This is Mr. Tian Hecao. He is the consultant of the ** City State. This time he happened to travel to our Giant Rock City State. I
Just invite him to sit down."
Those people all looked at Zhao Hai deeply, but still saluted Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai saw a hint of coldness in the eyes of some of them, while in the eyes of others, there was a trace of coldness.
Joy, this makes Zhao Hai a little confused. He has never offended these people, and he has no friendship with these people. Where do the hostility and joy come from? Is there something else in this that I
unknown?
Although he was thinking about this, Zhao Hai's face was very calm. He smiled and clasped his fists at these people in return. Then everyone sat down at the table, and servants brought them wine and food.
After everyone sat down, the Lord of Giant Rock City glanced at those people, then picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tian came to our Giant Rock City today. This is a happy event. Come, let's raise a toast together.
A glass for Mr. Tian." Everyone responded, raised their glasses, and toasted to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai naturally would not object, so he also raised his glasses and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, City Lord, you are so polite.
It is really an honor for Tian Hecao to be treated so kindly, and I should be respectful to the Lord of the City."
The Lord of Giant Rock City laughed loudly and said: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. Come, let's drink this cup together." After speaking, he raised the cup to others and said loudly: "Come on, everyone, have a drink!" After speaking, he took a sip from the cup.
The wine is dry.
Naturally, everyone else in the restaurant raised their glasses, drank the wine in one gulp, and then put down their glasses. A servant poured wine into their glasses, and then withdrew.
The Lord of Giant Rock City glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I'm happy today. Everyone doesn't have to be so formal. You can all be more casual and casual." After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food. When the others saw the City Lord like this,
They all felt a little more relieved and took a bite of something.
Zhao Hai looked at the Lord of Giant Rock City, and then at the people below. He always felt a little weird, because he found that although the Lord of Giant Rock City seemed to be able to control everyone, in fact, those people below him
But they were divided into two groups. Of the two groups, one group had a larger number of people. Zhao Hai took a look and found that the people in that group should be those who showed hostility to him, while the other group had a smaller number of people, and that group of people showed kindness to him.
The person who is a good person is not just as simple as good intentions, but should be a kind of joy, a joy that can be seen in the color of his face. This is what Zhao Hai is most puzzled about.
However, Zhao Hai didn't say anything and took a bite of the food. Then he turned to City Lord Ou Yan and said, "Mr. City Lord, what is this? It's so delicious." Zhao Hai pointed at what he had just eaten as he spoke.
That plate of food.
The Lord of Giant Rock City looked at the plate of dishes pointed by Zhao Hai and laughed loudly: "Sir, you really have taste. That is one of the unique mountain treasures here in our Giant Rock City. It is called rock mushroom. This rock mushroom grows on the rocks.
It absorbs the essence of rocks, and its roots can break through rocks. Because it is difficult to grow, the number is very small, but the taste of this rock mushroom is really incredible. When you eat it in your mouth, not only is it delicious, but it also has a lot of flavor.
It has good body-building effects and is the most famous delicacy here in our Rock City."
Zhao Hai said quickly: "It turns out that this is rock mushroom. I have heard the name of rock mushroom for a long time, but this is the first time I have eaten it. I didn't expect it to be very delicious. I would like to thank the city lord. If it weren't for the city lord's hospitality,
I'm afraid I'll never be able to taste such delicious food in this life." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and said to the city lord, "I'd like to borrow a flower to offer to the Buddha and give you a drink to the city lord."
The Lord of Giant Rock City laughed loudly and was about to raise his glass when a voice suddenly said: "It seems that your status is not high, sir. Although this rock mushroom is a rare thing, ordinary big families can still eat it."
Yes, it’s just that the price is a little more expensive, and I haven’t had it before, sir. It seems that your status, sir, is really not high enough.”
When Zhao Hai heard this, he smiled slightly, and then he turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke. He was a man about thirty years old, wearing very gorgeous clothes. He was sitting opposite Zhao Hai, which is the giant rock.
The third seat in the city lord's right hand company definitely looks like he has a high status, and the people in the two seats next to him also looked at Zhao Hai with a slightly mocking look, and the hostility in their eyes could not be concealed.
.
The Lord of Giant Rock City glanced at the person who spoke, and then said: "Xie Yalong, why are you so rude to your guests? Have you even forgotten your manners?" When he said this, the Lord of Giant Rock City's face also darkened.
, obviously a little angry.
Zhao Hai also slowly put down the wine glass at this time. Looking at the person speaking opposite, Zhao Hai knew that what was supposed to come had come. It seemed that this group of people was really serious about his enemies. (Unfinished)
