Lu Xiaoyue was right. Although Yuanchi City had just been captured by the Xishang Kingdom, the news had spread throughout the entire Hanling Kingdom, especially the city lords of various cities, who all knew about it.
It is related to the vital interests of every city lord, so they are naturally very concerned about this matter, and are even inquiring about the follow-up of this matter.
The same was true for City Lord Liu of Meteor City. As soon as he got the news, he was thinking about how Meteor City should respond.
Yuanchi City was the western border of Hanling Kingdom, right on the edge of Xishang Kingdom, so it became the first city to be captured.
Although Meteor City is not in the Western Region, it is not far from another country, Liubo Kingdom... If Liubo Kingdom also learns from the Western Shang Kingdom and invades Hanling Kingdom, then it won’t be long before Meteor City enters the
The footsteps of Yuanchi City.
Now Lu Xiaoyue asked him what he thought about this matter?
City Lord Liu naturally has a lot of ideas to say.
"The behavior of the Xishang Kingdom is simply gangsterism, and there is no shame in it..." When he mentioned this, City Lord Liu was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "They are using the banner of Hanling Kingdom's blood.
, but who doesn’t know that it’s just a pretense? The royal family of Hanling Kingdom has been imprisoned for hundreds of years, and they can’t even get out of the palace. How is it possible that there is still blood flowing in Xishang Kingdom? Even the bloodline from five hundred years ago,
That’s still considered the bloodline of Hanling Kingdom’s royal family. After more than five hundred years, the bloodline has become as thin as water!”
"Ha ha……"
Seeing what City Master Liu said was funny, Lu Xiaoyue laughed a little unkindly. Then she realized what was wrong with her and immediately coughed a few times before saying: "The so-called illegitimate child is indeed just a cover. Everyone knows that Xi
Naturally, the leader of the Shang Kingdom knows that everyone knows it! But...but they don't care! As long as they have this title and this righteousness, it is enough...Everyone knows that this is a cover, but this cover is useful, at least it can
To deceive those who know nothing..."
"Oh! Yes! There are always ignorant people, and there are always guys who don't understand anything no matter how much they explain!" City Master Liu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Speaking of this, he felt quite deeply. Just half an hour before meeting Lu Xiaoyue, he got news from his subordinates that someone was quietly spreading rumors in private.
The content of the gritted teeth was very nonsense, saying: The emperor in the palace in the capital did not die, but used the golden cicada to escape his shell, faked his death and escaped, and ran to the Western Shang Kingdom. Now he came back with the help of the Western Shang Kingdom's army.
Yuanchi City was recaptured by the emperor. Next, he would recapture more cities, and he would soon reach Meteor City.
The content of the rumor was immediately known to be false, but I couldn’t help but believe it.
The people in Meteor City have never seen the monsters in the capital, so how do they know the terror of those bird-men? How could those in the palace survive the ravages of the bird-men?
When the birdmen captured the palace, no one inside, dead or alive, could escape, and they all became their prey.
The Emperor of Hanling Kingdom, who didn't even have a name, might have turned into a pile of fertilizer now.
However, these truths are only known to the top management. They have no way to tell the people at the bottom, and they have no way to clarify anything. They can only try to control the rumors and find the people who spread the rumors.
If you can't even do this well, then there's really nothing you can do.
City Master Liu told Lu Xiaoyue about the rumors he had just dealt with. After hearing this, the latter couldn't help but sneered.
"Tsk! This must be a trick of the Western Shang Kingdom, right? Unexpectedly, not long after the incident happened, they had spies go deep into this place. It seems that they had already planned it, and they had a big plan!" Lu Xiaoyue said with a sigh.
"Yes! As soon as this incident came out, Hanling Kingdom was really in chaos..." Speaking of war, City Lord Liu didn't seem to like it at all, his face was full of disgust for war.
But he has no choice. Hanling Kingdom is gone and others want to attack you. What can you do?
Meteor City is not strong, it can even be said to be weak, because it is too close to the capital and cannot have strong strength.
Originally, when Hanling Kingdom was still there and the Soul-Destroying Sect was still there, these were nothing, but now, being weak will become Meteor City's Achilles' heel!
"Have City Lord Liu ever thought about how to stop this rebellion, or the invasion of the Western Shang Kingdom?" Lu Xiaoyue saw City Lord Liu slowly taking the road, and began to give guidance.
"How to stop it?" City Lord Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If we unite together, we can stop it. But... Hanling Kingdom is now in disarray. Each City Lord is in charge of his own business. As long as he is fine, everyone else will die.
I don’t care…what can I do about this?”
Just as City Lord Liu said, the current situation of Hanling Kingdom is like this. The strength is still there, but it cannot be condensed at all.
Although Hanling Kingdom has been destroyed in name, most of its strength is still there. The demise of the royal family has not affected the country at all.
Only the decline of the Soul-Destroying Sect had a great impact on this, but this impact was all in the world of immortal cultivation and had little to do with countries.
The reason why the Xishang Kingdom dared to invade brazenly was because the Hanling Kingdom was now in disarray... If all the city lords could unite, concentrate their strength, and unite to resist, the Xishang Kingdom would not be able to gain any advantage.
"Then unite!" Lu Xiaoyue smiled faintly, and then pointed to Liu Xiyun next to him: "City Lord Liu thinks that if the Moon Martial Arts School is there to bridge the gap, can all the city owners be united?"
As soon as these words came out, City Lord Liu was stunned for an instant.
He thought for a long time, carefully considered the feasibility of this method, and carefully analyzed the influence and role of the Moon Martial Arts School. He thought for half an hour, walking around the room, catching Liu Xiyun's eyes.
It's blurry.
"I think... no!"
In the end, he still gave this evaluation.
"Why?" Lu Xiaoyue was confused and asked immediately.
"The influence of the Moon Martial Arts School is not enough..." City Master Liu quickly gave the answer and explained: "There are only four Moon Martial Arts Schools. They are only influential in the hinterland of our Hanling Kingdom, but when it reaches the border or in remote areas,
The region has no influence at all, and there is no way to unite all the city lords!"
"Why not?" Lu Xiaoyue was dissatisfied and began to analyze: "Moon Martial Arts Hall has been the first in Baixiao Tower's red list for a long time. Isn't this influence? Besides, City Lord Liu doesn't know something. I was still in Hanling some time ago.
I stayed in the north of the country for a while, visited twenty-seven cities in the north, met with the lords of each city, and discussed many important matters with them. I wonder if this counts as influence?"
