The story of Lu Xiaoyue's visit to the twenty-seven cities in the north has indeed not spread yet, it is only circulated in the circle of the city owners in the north.
City Lord Liu knew nothing about this.
However, when he heard Lu Xiaoyue tell the news, his confused eyes suddenly lit up.
"Forget it, of course!" He clapped his hands and said loudly: "I didn't expect Master Lu to have such experience. If the Moon Martial Arts Hall can unite the twenty-seven cities in the north, then it will be natural to unite the remaining dozen cities.
It’s not that difficult! If this thing can really be accomplished, Hanling Country will be saved, and so will we!”
The more City Lord Liu thought about it, the more excited he became. He seemed to have envisioned the scene where all the City Lords of Hanling Kingdom would unite to fight against the merchants, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.
That was a scene that had not happened in Hanling Kingdom for hundreds of years, and it must have been a magnificent scene.
Lu Xiaoyue smiled slightly and began to tell the purpose of her trip: "Actually, the purpose of my coming here this time is to unite the three eastern cities and make a common plan! City Lord Liu is an old friend of our Moon Martial Arts School and has always supported us.
Our people, I hope they can support us as always this time!”
"Of course!" City Master Liu nodded without thinking: "Master Lu is kind to Meteor City, and we Meteor City will definitely support it... However, it seems a little difficult to unite the three eastern cities. Donglian City and Cang
Star City’s attitude towards Moon Martial Arts School…”
City Lord Liu did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious...
There are only three big cities in the east of Hanling Kingdom. Meteor City is considered to be too close to the capital and weak, so it has never had any sense of existence.
But Donglian City and Cangxing City are different.
Because they are far away from the capital and located in a remote place, they have always maintained a large number of troops and weapons, and their strength ranks among the top in the entire Hanling Kingdom.
And because it is located in a remote area and the economic situation is not very good, the folk customs there have always been very tough, knights are prevalent, and forces such as martial arts schools, cottages, and black shops are also spread throughout the territory.
We are enemies in the same industry. Donglian City and Cangxing City, which already have many martial arts schools, naturally do not have a good view towards Moon Martial Arts School.
Coupled with a piece of news that was only circulated at the city lord level, Donglian City and Cangxing City even had a bad impression of Moon Martial Arts Hall.
When the capital city fell and the royal family of Hanling Kingdom perished, and seeing the chaos about to break out, the lords of Donglian City and Cangxing City began gearing up to do something big.
Their first target was Meteor City, their weak neighbor.
However, before this plan was made, it was ruined by Lu Xiaoyue and her Moon Martial Arts School.
They wanted to take advantage of the troubled times to compete in the Central Plains, but suddenly a Moon Martial Arts School appeared, which not only protected Meteor City, but also quickly regained the capital, directly suppressing the spearhead of the chaos that was about to happen.
As a result, the plans of the two city lords naturally came to nothing.
The plan to take advantage of the chaos to sweep the world has failed. They have great strength in their hands, but they can only watch. Donglian City and Cangxing City will naturally not have a good look at Moon Martial Arts Hall.
Of course, this news only circulated within the City Lord's circle. Because City Lord Liu knew about this, he was even more grateful to Lu Xiaoyue and Moon Martial Arts School.
Although Lu Xiaoyue didn't know about this, Jian Zhen could definitely guess some clues.
The city lords of Donglian City and Cangxing City are both ambitious people, otherwise they would not have maintained self-respect and formed a large number of armies during the hundreds of years that the royal family of Hanling Kingdom was in captivity.
Although they claim to protect themselves, everyone knows that this is just a cover and the real purpose is not simple.
"It's really hard to talk between Donglian City and Cangxing City...but with City Lord Liu here, we can always fight for it, right?" Lu Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
"Alas!" City Master Liu sighed, shook his head and said, "Although they and I belong to the same three cities in the East, this is not a kind of friendship... Master Lu is afraid that he has gone astray." As he said that, he told the story that had been circulated.
The news was told and explained at the same time.
After listening, Lu Xiaoyue was stunned.
It turns out that there was a reason why the city lord of Meteor City was so eager to find her and couldn't wait to build a moon martial arts gym in Meteor City...
The situation back then was indeed very dangerous.
If there is no protection from the Moon Martial Arts School, and the capital has never been recovered, and the monsters inside rush out to wreak havoc, maybe Donglian City and Cangxing City really have a chance to sweep the world... Even if they cannot aspire to the Central Plains, they can at least annex them.
Fall out of Meteor City.
"If this is true, then they..."
"How are they?"
"They are not worthy of being the city lords of Hanling Kingdom!" Lu Xiaoyue said angrily.
"Not worthy?" City Lord Liu said with a bitter smile: "Their position as City Lord has been passed down for hundreds of years, how can they be worthy of it?"
In fact, there is no need for City Master Liu to tell you. Lu Xiaoyue and Jianzhen both know that the position of City Master of Hanling Kingdom has always been a family inheritance. Unless the entire family perishes or is directly deprived of it by the royal family, it will not be cut off.
Hundreds of years ago, the royal family of Hanling Kingdom could not issue orders, and naturally could not deprive these city lords of their rights. Therefore, as long as the families of these city lords were not extinct, their families would always be the city lords' families.
There is no way to say whether it is worthy or not!
However, Lu Xiaoyue did not agree with such an approach, or in other words, under Jian Zhen's teachings, she would no longer admit such an approach.
The role of city lord should be given to capable and virtuous people, rather than being passed down from generation to generation and always the same family!
So... they don't deserve it!
"I said they don't deserve it, they just don't deserve it!" Lu Xiaoyue smiled faintly, with a hint of determination in her eyes, as if some plan had been established in her heart.
"Oh?" City Master Liu raised his eyebrows when he heard this sentence: "Master Lu means..."
"Since they can't unite with us, they have no choice but to replace themselves with us... What does City Master Liu think?" Lu Xiaoyue's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
City Lord Liu was stunned instantly.
What does this mean?
Are we going to overthrow the city lords of Donglian City and Cangxing City?
How is this possible?
Both cities have large armies, strong strength, and numerous family members. They are simply not something that the small Meteor City can deal with.
Even if the current capital and Huayin City are added, it is not enough...
In terms of strength alone, Donglian City alone is enough for them to drink a pot.
What's more, the current capital is in ruins and is not qualified to fight a war... Even if Lu Xiaoyue wants to fight, the people in the capital will not support her, and they will not even be able to form an army!
"Master Lu, we need to take a long-term approach at this time!" City Master Liu quickly advised.
