Xue Banchuan sat cross-legged in front of the case, on which were placed the Four Treasures of the Study, spread out the letter, and then wrote:
"The sinner Banchuan pays homage..."
There were several paper balls placed under the case. It seemed that Xue Banchuan had been composing words and sentences for a long time, but he still hadn't found the right words.
After missing him for more than half a year, Huang Sanyuan found that Xue Banchuan had aged much, with a haggard appearance and a lifeless face.
"City Lord Xue, is your health okay?"
"Ahem, I can still hold on." Xue Banchuan coughed lightly, as if he suddenly discovered something: "You want to join forces with me to deal with King Youzhou, if I capture you and sacrifice you to King Youzhou, he will
Don’t blame me anymore.”
Huang Sanyuan has a black line on his head.
Is this still the Xue Banchuan I know? In the past, Commander Xue was indifferent to emotions and anger. No matter how great things happened, he always looked like he was in control of the pearls of wisdom. But today, he looks really scary.
Last year, Xue Banchuan planned for a long time to oust Han Huju, cultivate his own cronies, and then use thunderous means to get rid of Han Huke, and successfully took the position of city lord.
The means are not bad.
But after sitting in this position, Xue Banchuan finally understood Han Huju's difficulties. Black Rock City is on the border of the empire, and outside the city is the border of the Rong tribe. The Rong tribe comes to raid every day, but they can't defeat them. If you want to develop Black Stone City,
It is difficult to build an elite army because we are short of money and supplies.
Xue Banchuan now admired Han Huge a little. Han Huge indulged in drinking and sex, but he did nothing, and there was no trouble in Black Rock City. However, Xue Banchuan did not have this ability.
To put it simply, Xue Banchuan is a top strategist, but not necessarily a top city lord.
Xue Banchuan is an ambitious man. He originally planned to use Black Rock City as the foundation to expand outwards. He may not be able to become a tycoon in the future and can hunt deer with the world's heroes. But during this period of managing Black Rock City, he was exhausted and exhausted, and his ambition was no longer there.
It was blown away by the rain and wind.
"City Lord Xue, are you afraid that King Youzhou may not accept your surrender?"
Now Yang Longting's slogan is: Don't ask anyone else, but kill Xue Si. He is determined to avenge Han Huju. Xue Banchuan can't even write a letter of surrender, not even a thousand letters.
Yang Longting changed his mind.
"I know." Xue Banchuan said: "But what if it happens? After all, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. I want to give it a try and try my best to write a letter of surrender. Maybe King Youzhou will let me go.
"
"Um...you have time to write a letter of surrender, can't you use this mood to block Yang Longting?"
"Block, what should I do to block it!" Xue Banchuan said with a bitter smile: "Do you think I am the one who calls the shots in this city? Do you know how many big families there are in the city? There are people from them in the military government. I am just an accountant who looks after their houses.
It's just Mr. Yang Longting. Before Yang Longting comes over, someone has already started to report the news to him. He is just waiting for the army to come and then open the door to accept surrender."
Huang Sanyuan didn't know what to say at this moment. He was good at settling accounts, not good at leading troops, and he didn't know how to manage a city and balance the relationships among all aspects. Perhaps Xue Banchuan did have the same difficulties as Xue Banchuan, and it was not that he was really helpless, and he would not make the former
Xue Banchuan became like this.
He was silent for a while, and then had to say: "Master, do you want me to bring a message to the city lord?"
"What did the man named Cheng say?"
"If you lower your head, you will die. If you raise your head, you may live." Huang Sanyuan said: "These are the words of the master. If Mayor Xue wants to give us to Yang Longting, please do so."
"Lower your head, raise your head..." Xue Banchuan pondered these two words back and forth in his mouth, waved his hand for a long time and said: "Come here, bring a chair to Mr. Huang."
…
In Toad Village, Cheng Dalei is also suffering from a headache.
"Brother Guan, you have been practicing swordsmanship so well recently, have you suddenly realized any swordsmanship?"
"Mr. Zhang, you are pretty good at using snake spears, haha. Have you ever felt like you are possessed by divine power and can block thousands of people with one blow?"
"Liu..."
"Shaoyu, why didn't you go practice shooting? You are a man determined to become a hero."
Cheng Dalei wandered around the village and was promoted to level three. The village still lacked a top person. He looked at all the people who had the potential to reach the top level, but in the end no one could upgrade in a short time. Currently, he was the only one left...
But even though he got the Afei Quick Sword, his strength is still excellent. Originally, he built the cottage to upgrade his strength. But now the problem has come back.
At present, it seems that there is only one way left. That is to accumulate the fear value, and after it reaches one million, exchange it with the system for a top-level figure.
Cheng Dalei checked his fear value. Over the past few days, he had accumulated some fear value. Currently, it was just over a hundred thousand, which was still far from a million.
"Master..." Xu Shenji ran over at this time: "Master, something happened."
"What happened?" Cheng Dalei was shocked. Today's copycats are dancing on the edge of a knife. How can they allow anything to happen?
"The grain transport team in Youzhou started a quarrel with our people."
Yang Longting attacked Blackstone City this time, claiming to command 50,000 troops. And these 50,000 people were not all soldiers who went into battle, but also included the supply battalion, the food team, the gang leader army, etc.
Large groups of troops have already passed by, and there are a steady stream of grain transport teams passing by Qingniu Mountain. When they pass by Toad Village, Toad Village will naturally arrange some fodder and wine for them to rest.
.
To a certain extent, Toad Village acted as a post station. And now that Cheng Dalei didn't have the strength to break up with King Youzhou, he was naturally happy to do these things, and he didn't have to die anyway.
Luo Tie was in this grain transport team.
Fuhushan suffered a defeat, Luo Tie was beaten to the end, and now he is completely a pawn. Because of this incident, Luo Tie was naturally extremely unhappy, and he beat and scolded the comrades around him. Everyone was full of complaints, but there was no one.
Dare to take care of it.
Even though Luo Tie has become a pawn, no one knows that King Youzhou is deliberately training him. If you show his face now, if he starts to tremble in the future, you won't be the first one to have him stabbed.
So in this team, Luo Tie is not the commander, but he is better than the commander.
When the team arrived at Qingniu Mountain, Cheng Dalei had already arranged for people to receive them, and all the drinks and food were neatly prepared. After Luo Tie sat down, he began to curse, and what he said was: "A group of bandits are really kicking their noses, and they still fight with us."
Sitting on equal terms, what the hell does this mean?"
"General Luo, please keep your voice down. The military advisor ordered us not to fall out with them."
"Strategist... Ha, you take the words of the military adviser seriously. In my eyes, he is nothing!"
Luo Tie had his own ideas, and he felt very unhappy when he was beaten to the end this time. But if he could defeat the bandits in Toad Village and relieve his adoptive father of his big trouble, wouldn't he be able to stand up again?
So, while he was bluffing, he was also thinking about what to do.
Wow!
Luo Tie slammed the wine bowl on the ground and said, "Is this wine? It's worse than horse urine. This is how Cheng Dalei entertained us. Tell him to get out of here!"
