375: In the land of a state, justice comes from heaven
Zuo Chongming was surprised: "Didn't we cooperate very smoothly before?"
"Success? Haha~!"
As soon as he mentioned this, Nan Liuli was so angry that his teeth hurt. This guy was so shameless that he could even say this.
Not long ago, various commodities exported from Xiyun Mansion caused chaos among forces in various places, and the government's intervention only made the situation more and more confusing.
On behalf of Bafeng Tower and the imperial court, she went to the Champion House to negotiate with Zuo Chongming.
As a result, this guy promised well, but when her people went to Xiyun Mansion, they encountered a lot of resistance, which has not been resolved until now.
With this matter as a premise, this guy can still shamelessly say the words "the cooperation went very smoothly", which is simply shameless.
"I know what you want to say."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "But ask yourself, is this all my fault? In the end, it's not because you didn't give me a high price?"
"You are not willing to pay a high price, but we also want to make more money. If we want to reach cooperation, we must work together and negotiate. This will take time."
"You want a low price, you want to save time, and you want to make a lot of money... I let you take all the benefits. Don't you think it's too greedy for the eldest princess?"
Nan Liuli slammed the table angrily, stood up and left with a cold face: "Stop talking, there is no room for relaxation between us."
"The land of one county." Zuo Chongming's voice suddenly sounded.
"What?"
Nan Liuli felt that she was blind. How could this bitch be so generous?
Zuo Chongming repeated: "I grant you the agency rights for all the goods in a county. You heard it right, it is all."
"What you have done is very simple. Announce to the outside world that Bafenglou and I have formed an alliance to unite the front and advance and retreat together."
Nan Liuli turned around and stared at him warily: "What on earth... do you want to do?"
"Two counties."
"I don't……"
"Three counties."
"..."
Nan Liuli's red lips were half-opened, her eyes were dull, and she looked at him in disbelief.
I don't know why, but she couldn't spit out the words of rejection in her throat no matter how hard she tried, as if there was cotton stuck in her throat.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Master Hou, I have something to report."
Zuo Chongming said without raising his head: "Come in and talk."
Qiqi pushed the door open and entered the room. When she saw Nan Liuli's face, she couldn't help but be stunned.
This woman looks a bit familiar. Have you seen her somewhere?
However, because she had other business in hand, she didn't think too deeply about it.
When she came to the table, Qiqi said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, there is a letter from Xiyun Mansion saying..."
She glanced at Nan Liuli twice, with a hesitant look on her face.
"explain."
Zuo Chongming waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "The people from Zihe County raised the flag, and then they detained our fleet of cargo ships."
"Did we make a mistake?"
"No?"
"That's just an excuse to rob."
Qiqi nodded her little head and muttered: "We sent people to negotiate, but it didn't work. They must have become determined."
Zuo Chongming poured wine and asked her: "What are your plans?"
Qiqi puffed up her chest and said loudly and forcefully: "We want to tell the world and tell everyone that Xiyun Mansion is not easy to bully."
Zuo Chongming smiled dumbly and said: "That's right, but the last sentence is wrong."
"Eh?"
"Remember, Xiyun Mansion... cannot be bullied."
"yes."
"Back off, go tell Ning Huang and transfer to Zihe County."
"As commanded."
After Qiqi leaves.
Zuo Chongming looked at Nan Liuli: "Looking at the expression of the eldest princess, you should understand my intention?"
Nan Liuli's pretty face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth: "You asked me to release the news of the alliance with Bafenglou because you wanted to get a legitimate reason to take action and use these flying boats to demonstrate."
"Yes, demonstration."
Zuo Chongming said leisurely: "If you don't let them know how good the thing is, how can they make up their mind to buy it?"
Nan Liuli sighed: "It seems that I guessed right. You really don't want to fight for the world. You just want to cause chaos in the world so that you can profit from it."
Zuo Chongming said earnestly: "This Marquis's repeated demonstrations can greatly reduce the losses of Bafeng Tower."
"Moreover, it can also help your three princes to eliminate those little guys with evil intentions."
"You, Bafeng Tower, can also obtain the agency rights of a state, and you can achieve three goals with one stone, why not do it?"
Nan Liuli's pupils were shocked and she couldn't help but turn pale: "Yizhou?"
Zuo Chongming grinned: "Yes, I have raised the conditions for you again. If you have to blame the reason, you can understand that... I appreciate you, and this part of the increase is for your sake."
"you……"
When Nan Liuli touched his eyes, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She quickly turned her head away and said, "Smooth words, clever words, seductive words."
Zuo Chongming didn't care. He opened the door and said, "You have half a day to think about it. Don't keep me waiting for too long, princess."
With that said, he called a maid and arranged a room for her.
After finishing these things, he went straight to the warehouse and continued to select the exercises.
——
——
A few days later.
In the county town of Zihe County.
The people passing by on the street gathered together in groups of twos and threes, discussing something in low voices.
Crumpled papers are scattered everywhere on the ground, rooftops and even alleys, with some words printed on them...
Buzz~!!!
At this moment, there was another roar in the sky.
However, he saw a few small black spots flying towards the city from far to near. When they reached the sky, they dropped a large amount of paper.
From a distance, it looks like snow, which gives it a strange beauty.
However, the people in the city have no intention of admiring it. They are more fearful and desperate.
Because, the content on the paper is very simple, Zihe County seized Xiyun Mansion's cargo flying boat without reason.
Xiyun Mansion made several attempts to negotiate to no avail, and began to prepare for a full-scale revenge in five days. The uninvolved parties should leave as soon as possible.
At the beginning, no one took this thing seriously at all.
Zihe County is just a county. How can Xiyun Mansion be so virtuous and capable? How can it have the confidence to retaliate?
This pride did not last long. When the players from Zihe County saw relevant posts on the forum, they immediately panicked.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because this post was jointly published by the Wife’s Guild, Tianlong Guild and other guilds in Xiyun Mansion, it is a very formal declaration of war.
Information about local NPCs in Zihe County is inconvenient, and I don’t know much about Zuo Chongming, but players are different.
They saw with their own eyes on the forum that the warship that could be called an aerial fortress and violently bombarded the Dharma Realm was none other than Zuo Chongming's vehicle.
Thinking back to Zuo Chongming's original methods against the barbarians, the players have no doubt that the revenge the other party said was definitely a massacre.
As a result, Zihe County set off a huge wave of refugees that afternoon.
The local players, with the intention of making a fortune before leaving, acted lawlessly, made trouble crazily, and ran away immediately after they were done...
This trend of panic, like a terrible plague, quickly spread throughout Zihe County.
but…….
Most of the panicked and desperate people were the common people. The local sectarian families in Zihe County, as well as the local county governors who raised flags to rebel, were not at ease at all.
Zihe County is three times as strong as Xiyun Mansion, and its overall strength is not on the same level at all. They don't know how they can lose.
Zhou Lun, the governor of the county, believed that this was a panic created by Zuo Chongming, causing them to get into chaos and bluffing to force them to give in.
Little trick!
Zhou Lun was quite disdainful of this. Instead of being afraid in his heart, he became more and more certain that Zuo Chongming was bluffing, trying to be strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
He has great ambitions. He is not satisfied with establishing himself as king in Zihe County, but also wants to compete in the world...
And if you want to strengthen your own power, you need money, food, and resources, otherwise no one will work for you, so he set his sights on Xiyun Mansion.
As we all know, Zuo Chongming came up with a lot of new gadgets and shipped them to all over the world by flying boat, making a lot of money.
But he also knew that Zuo Chongming seemed not to be trifled with.
Being cautious, he asked his subordinates to seize Xiyun Mansion's flying boat to test Zuo Chongming's reaction.
If the other party showed weakness, he would directly swallow up Xiyun Mansion.
On the contrary, with the strength of Zihe County, he would not be afraid of Zuo Chongming. At worst, he would just take a step back and give in.
Now it seems…….
Zhou Lun sighed in disappointment: "What kind of champion can only use such devious tricks and can't reach the level of elegance."
Seeing another piece of paper floating into the courtyard, he couldn't help but frowned: "Come, what day is this?"
The subordinate quickly replied: "It's the last day to return to the Lord."
After hearing this, Zhou Lun showed contempt: "It's really a bluff. It's already dusk and they haven't been seen yet."
Buzz~~~!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky and the earth suddenly became bright.
The people in the city raised their heads when they heard the sound, only to see a black shadow floating in the sky from nowhere.
In the middle of the black shadow, a gilded light beam suddenly burst out, with electric light looming, like a spear piercing the sky and the earth.
Looking along the landing point of the golden light beam, there is clearly... the City Lord's Mansion.
"Buzz, buzz~!"
A noisy explosion sounded, and then densely packed black shadows with flashing light spots fell down, accurately falling on the city walls, military camps, and the Zhenfu Division...
Boom!!
The huge county town was instantly covered by the explosion, and mushroom clouds rose in response.
Broken bricks and tiles, dust and debris, loud noises... As the heavy air waves spread, it ravaged the whole city like a passing storm...
The sound of bombing covered everything, and all that could be seen was fire, smoke and ruins.
After a full quarter of an hour, everything gradually returned to silence.
As the hatch opened, Zuo Chongming's figure floated out, staring playfully at a charred sinkhole where the city lord's palace once was.
"Master Hou, Zhou Lun should be dead."
"Send someone to take away our flying boat."
Zuo Chongming withdrew his gaze and casually ordered: "Go to the cabin and bring Zhou Lun's family over, throw them in one by one, and listen to the noise."
Zhou Lun's background was different from that of most Zhenfu officials. He came from a wealthy family.
The Zhou family is also well-known in Zihe County. Because of this, Zhou Lun's rebellion and flag-raising was so natural...
"Zuo Chongming!!"
"You bastard..."
"I'll kill...!"
A blurry figure suddenly jumped up from the ruins, accompanied by a shrill roar, and rushed over like thunder with murderous intent.
"You shouldn't practice sword practice."
Zuo Chongming raised his eyes, not looking at him at all.
"you……"
Zhou Lun's eyes were about to burst and he was about to curse, when he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his wrist.
Immediately afterwards, the weapon that had been with him for many years suddenly whined, broke away from his grasp, and stabbed through his Dantian.
"Go with confidence."
Zuo Chongming grinned: "There are three hundred and sixty-seven members of your Zhou family. I will only make their lives worse than death, and will not kill them."
"you……"
"Next, it's your allies' turn."
"I will kill..."
Zhou Lun's eyes were filled with blood, and his eyes were full of resentment, and he rushed towards him desperately.
