Chapter 1042 Officially Approved by the Royal Family
"Did you know? I heard from people that the royal army even set fire to a street in the north of the city in order to drive away Lord Qing!"
"I've heard about it too! It was the current emperor who personally ordered the north of the city to be burned down, threatening Lord Zhou Mu with the lives of the people in Lingdu City!"
"Master Zhou Mu has no choice but to withdraw first in order to protect everyone, otherwise the Dog Emperor will burn down the entire Lingdu City!"
"That's right! If the Dog Emperor doesn't use despicable means, they can't defeat Lord Zhou Mu!"
"Master Zhou Mu saw that the tyrant burned down the granary of Lingdu City and wanted to force us people to death, so he endured the humiliation and took the heavy burden to retreat and evacuate outside the city. Otherwise, how could Master Qing lose to that tyrant!"
"The royal dog slaves! They don't care about us at all. They have taken control of the two remaining granaries and blocked the road out of the city. They will not let us leave or let the grain merchants enter the city. They clearly want to starve us to death.
!”
"No! The Dog Emperor wants to see us kneel down and beg for mercy, and beg him to give us food! If you don't believe it, just wait and see, those dog traitors who eat inside and outside will definitely betray Lord Zhou Mu and kneel down to beg the tyrant to give us food!"
After all, Lingdu City is the territory of Qingtian Bear. Even though Han Feng successfully defeated Qingtian Bear the night before yesterday, the people of Lingdu City, influenced by public opinion and taught by Xuanyang Cult all the time, all think that Qingtian Xiong is a wise king.
He hates the royal family deeply.
The day after Qingtian Xiong's defeat, many people did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the royal army would burn, kill and plunder, so they hid in their homes for preparedness. It was not until the early morning of the third day that the people confirmed that the royal army had limited manpower, with only more than 3,000 troops.
The soldiers were responsible for guarding the city, and there were no extra people to patrol the streets. They immediately gathered in secret, exchanged information with each other, and discussed the current situation in Lingdu City.
As a result, Lingdu City's small dignitaries, small wealthy businessmen, small hunters, boat owners, and representatives of residents from nearly a hundred neighborhoods quietly gathered in a secret alley in the afternoon to discuss what to do in the future.
"What should we do now? I don't have much food at home. If I stay in Lingdu City for less than half a month, I'm afraid I will starve to death." A man said in a panic. Although the royal family does not have many troops, they are well-equipped.
, now firmly in control of the gates of Lingdu City, ordinary people have no chance of escaping and can only sit and wait for death in the city.
"We have no weapons and have no ability to resist them. For the sake of our wives and children at home, I think it's better for everyone to stay calm." Another man said helplessly. There were not many members of the royal family, but they were wearing chainmail, which was considered a good thing.
The most sophisticated equipment in the world today cannot be pierced by ordinary swords. Even if the people of Lingdu City gather people and horses to resist, they may not be able to achieve results.
Nowadays, the royal army still has some discipline and does not commit rape, rape, robbery, burning, killing or looting in the city. It is better for them to be more peaceful, so as not to harm the old, young, women and children at home.
"Your ideas are too naive. Let me tell you straight. The royal family will not let a commoner of Lingdu City go." A man said firmly.
If Zhou Xingyun were present and saw this man speaking, he would definitely call Fang Shushu over and ask the girl to kill her enemies.
Jiang Zhilin and Jiang Weitian were both the executioners of the massacre in Fangjia Village. Although Jiang Xi was not involved, there was no doubt that he was also one of Fang Shushu's targets for revenge.
The members of the Wuhe Clan had long been ordered by Qingtian Xiong to infiltrate the people of the Wulin League. Unfortunately, many of the senior deacons of the Wulin League were suspicious of the members of the Wuhe Clan, so the plan to attack Lingdu City the night before was not planned.
Wuhe gangmen
No one received any news.
To be precise, not only the members of the Wuhe Gang, but also Tong Li, Quan Shituo and others knew that the Wulin Alliance was planning to raid Lingdu City when they arrived at Lingdu City that night.
Now that the royal army captured Lingdu City, the Wuhe Clan members who had infiltrated the Wulin Alliance immediately disguised themselves as ordinary people to create public opinion and spread rumors in Lingdu City.
"Why won't the royal family let us go?"
"You shouldn't have forgotten what happened in the busy city of Lingdu City half a month ago, right? Princess Yongming was humiliated in public, can she swallow this breath?" Jiang Xi said carefully: "Now Mr. Zhou Mu and 30,000 Beijing City
The guards are guarding outside Lingdu City, so the royal army does not dare to act rashly. Once Lord Zhou Mu leaves, they will massacre the people in the city!"
"Yes! We once offended the princess and accused the royal family in the bustling city of Lingdu. The dog emperor would never let us go! Now the royal army does not dare to kill us because Lord Zhou Mu is outside the city! The dog emperor knows that Lord Zhou Mu loves his people like his own children.
, once the royal army massacres the people, Lord Zhou Mu will attack the city with all his strength."
"The royal army took us, the people of Lingdu City, as hostages, and that's why Master Zhou Mu surrendered." Several members of the Wuhe Clan mingled among the crowd, singing along to confuse people.
"Then what should we do? Or we will fight them today! Either way, we will die!"
"You're right, we can't sit still and wait for death! The worst we can do is fight with the Dog Emperor! He will be a good man again after eighteen years!"
"Okay! Let's fight them!" Several people in Lingdu City were furious, shouting mindlessly to rebel and fight against the royal army.
"What will happen to our family if we do this? They will be implicated." Another man from Lingducheng said fearfully. He has parents and a wife and children, so he cannot act impulsively.
"You coward! The Dog Emperor is unkind and will not let anyone in the city go! If you don't give it a try now, everyone will die in the future!" the Madam of Hua Fang spat unceremoniously.
"It's easy for you to say! You women who are painting the boat are begging for mercy. All you have to do is lie down and spread your legs! If we fight with the royal family, we will lose our lives!" The man retorted angrily. The old madam of the painting boat really couldn't stand and talk without pain in her back.
"Don't get angry, you two. We can't have internal strife now." Jiang Xi quickly stopped the two from scolding each other, and said eloquently: "Brother is right, if we fight head-on with the Dog Emperor, we will only die. We can't be reckless now.
, we fellow villagers and elders in Lingdu City’s 10th Street, 7th District and 9th Hutong should unite and organize to hinder the royal army! Fight for opportunities for Mr. Zhou Mu!"
"Yes! Everyone's reckless actions will lead to death. Let's gather manpower first and slowly fight against them!"
"Anyway, in the next few days, they won't let us leave the city, so we will go to the city gate every day and harass them to open the city gate. They guard the granary, and we will go to the granary every day to beg for food! No matter what they do, we in Lingdu City
People, just do the opposite! Lord Zhou Mu is outside the city anyway, and the Dog Emperor will not dare to hurt us indiscriminately if he wants to use us as hostages!"
Everyone in the Wuhe Gang knows that Han Feng is a kind-hearted emperor and he will not kill the people of Lingdu City.
The people in Lingdu City just pretended to be starving to death, went to the granary every day to beg for food, asked for another way out of the city to make a living, and kept causing chaos in Lingdu City, which exhausted the royal army mentally and physically.
"Then let's go back to our respective residential areas first and tell the villagers about the situation in Lingdu City.
Dear father, let everyone understand that Princess Yongming was humiliated in Lingdu City and will never let you go easily. Let the residents understand that if we don’t fully assist Mr. Zhou Mu at this time, we will only die." Jiang Xi said sincerely.
: "After all representatives return to the residential area, please try your best to gather people. At the same time tomorrow, everyone will gather here again and report how many people are willing to cooperate with us. Then we will work out how to counter that dog emperor and assist based on the actual situation.
Lord Zhou Mu captured Lingdu City!"
"Okay! Everyone must be careful not to be discovered by the Dog Emperor's eyes and ears, otherwise the tyrant's temper will definitely make us die badly!"
After exchanging opinions with each other, the representatives of the villagers from various neighborhoods in Lingdu City followed Jiang Xi's words and went back to their residences to inform their neighbors about the situation of Lingdu City falling into the hands of the royal family, and hoped that everyone would unite at this time and work together to
Help Master Zhou Mu regain Lingdu City.
On the other side, in the luxurious mansion of Lingdu City, Zhou Xingyun sat in front of his dressing room, enjoying the beauty Xun Xuan tidying up his appearance.
As a good man with modern ideas, Zhou Xingyun sometimes feels that his long hair is really annoying, not to mention that it makes his face itchy and is often pressed and pulled while sleeping.
However, even though it was annoying to have long hair, Zhou Xingyun did not lose it because he could enjoy the beauty doing his makeup every morning when he got up.
Last night, everyone reunited after a long absence. Zhou Xingyun and Han Feng and a group of animals were drinking water and having fun in the west wing. Yes, they were drinking water and having fun, using tea instead of wine. They played until dawn, until the sun was about to come out.
Go back to your room and rest.
If it weren't for the lack of food in Lingdu City, Zhou Xingyun would have really wanted to hold a BBQ in the south wing courtyard so that the friends could gather for a barbecue.
Zhou Xingyun fell asleep with the beauty in his arms. As soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, it was noon.
Currently, Zhou Xingyun is enjoying Xunxuan combing her long hair while listening to Xu Zhiqian report on the trivial matters that happened this morning.
First, Han Feng met with Zen Master Tianhu and Aisha and a group of warriors outside the Great Wall. He expressed his deep gratitude to them for helping the royal family repel the Sky Bear, and promised to reward them in the future.
Secondly, Han Feng heard something about the ‘Four Seas Heroes Martial Arts Conference’ from Han Qiumiao.
Now, because Qingtian Xiong is causing trouble in the north, martial arts alliance masters are assisting the royal family, and the martial arts event has to be delayed. Therefore, Han Feng begs Ayesha and the warriors outside the Great Wall to change the time limit and location of the martial arts meeting.
The current emperor has said so, and the warriors outside the Great Wall naturally dare not object.
Furthermore, Han Feng intends to set the venue for the "Four Sea Heroes Martial Arts Conference" in the capital, and the royal family will take charge of it, providing a gorgeous martial arts stage for warriors from the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall.
With such a grand grace, both masters from beyond the Great Wall and warriors from the Central Plains are happy to see it come to fruition and accept the emperor's favor without hesitation.
When the royal family and nobles came forward to witness the martial arts competition, the reputation of the World Heroes Martial Arts Association immediately soared several levels. From a competition spontaneously organized by martial artists, it became a competition officially recognized by the country.
Under the witness of the king of a country, reaching the highest level of a warrior will undoubtedly be famous all over the world, and it is the highest honor.
Finally, the time for the World Heroes Martial Arts Conference to be held will have to wait until the situation in the northern towns is calmed down before rescheduling.
Regarding the above arrangement, neither the deacons of the Martial Arts Alliance nor the warriors outside the Great Wall had any objections. After all, you are the emperor and you have the final say...
