Zhou Cheng's daily life is probably like this.
I heard you were at war? Did you lose? It doesn't matter, look at the new weapon we developed, use it to ensure that you can turn defeat into victory.
Eh, did you win? Congratulations, but don't be proud if you win, let's take a look at the new weapon, an exclusive one, it has not been sold to other cities yet, as long as you bring food, it will be exchanged for you.
You didn't get involved this time, did you? It's good to be on the sidelines, but they have just played a game now, and they may be eyeing you in the next step. You still need to prepare more. Do you want to take a look at this weapon. After buying it, it will be quite deterrent.
All the major rebel groups saw Zhou Cheng's face clearly.
This is a little guy!
Still shameless!
Usually huddled up, hello me, hello everyone, as soon as the food and grass ran out and needed food, they immediately began to push them to buy weapons. , Isn't that standing there waiting to be beaten!
Shameless old thieves, they are sure that they must restrain each other and cannot attack Zhou Cheng!
The rebel groups were about to vomit blood from Zhou Cheng's shameless face. Fortunately, they could comfort themselves at this time. Fortunately, Zhou Cheng didn't get involved, and fortunately Zhou Cheng was a little helpless. The refugees who waited to open their mouths to eat every day, otherwise, such a big city of weapons would really fight, and if there was another secret weapon or something, they really didn't know what to do.
The third prince has always thought so, especially the contents reported by the spies he stayed in Zhoucheng.
All the people are cultivating fertile fields, and Zhoucheng has begun to build a new city. There is also the fourth son of the city lord who leads a group of soldiers to farm the land all day long. In order to please the forest city lord, he takes them to run around the city every day. .
What can a lap do
What is the use of running laps
That Lin Baozhi was too old to eat, and the old peasant's style had not changed, so he went out for a walk every day after eating.
A group of young and strong soldiers running circles around the city
Useful ass!
And when he was secretly disdainful, Murong Xiao had already arranged for his subordinates to learn to run laps after getting the news. Zhou Cheng's people ran a few laps, and hers ran a few laps. The way of training is the same.
It's a pity that she just practiced it for less than ten days, when the third prince who learned about the matter urgently stopped her, and when Murong Xiao said that she was worried that those people in Zhou Cheng were secretly training troops, they expressed disdain.
From ancient times to the present, I have only heard of soldiers training in formations with knives, guns and sticks, but I have never heard of training in circles.
Even if it is training soldiers, such soldiers are not very useful after training.
Murong Xiao had more to say, but she was keenly aware of the Third Prince's displeasure with her paying attention to Zhou Cheng several times.
Obviously, this lord does not think that Zhou Cheng is his enemy.
She could only keep her mouth shut, but she was thinking about whether she should discuss with her father to get rid of this increasingly arrogant and arrogant lord.
Zhou Chengsao's manipulations appeared frequently. The third prince read Lin Shiheng's letter and thought that this city lord, who had the cheek to beg for a little food, didn't have the courage to really join the battlefield, but Murong Xiao never underestimated the enemy. To be precise, in After knowing about the murder of the mountain bandits in the canyon, she never looked down on the city lord of Zhoucheng, who was said to be from ordinary people.
In the past few years, because of Zhou Cheng's discussions, she even had an argument with the third prince. Fortunately, her father was on her side. Two years ago, Murong Xiao turned twenty years old, and she and Mo Chen were about to meet. Ko's wedding date.
If they get married, they will definitely be tied to the boat of the Third Prince.
But the sudden appearance of Zhou Cheng made their father and daughter undecided, and when they were hesitating whether to betray the third prince and find another way of life, Murong Xiao's grandfather died.
The elder passed away, but she was still her grandfather. According to the rules of the court, she needed to observe filial piety for three years, and the wedding date would naturally be postponed for three years.
During the period when Mo Chenke regretted not being able to hug the beauty early, he gained some observation time for Murong Xiao and General Murong.
It's a pity that two years after the death of grandfather, the results of observation still make both father and daughter less optimistic about the third prince.
When the incident had just started, maybe it was because of long-standing forbearance. The three princes would do everything possible to calculate the end before acting, and they would not underestimate the enemy as they are now. The touts, coupled with the growing age and desire for pleasure, the current three kings are no longer the three kings they used to be.
The one who dissatisfied Murong Xiao the most was her fiance Mo Chenke.
The reason why she agreed to this marriage was not only because it was the intention of the third prince, but also because Mo Chenke was capable of his own, and there was no other power behind him. In this way, Mo Chenke must rely on her father for the marriage between the two parties.
But before, because of Zhou Cheng's matter, the Murong family kept an eye on it, and they didn't marry Murong Xiao early. In addition, the period of time when his grandfather passed away was enough for Murong Xiao to see what his fiance was thinking.
Different from the mutual benefit she had thought before, Mo Chenke naively thought that as long as she married Murong Xiao, the forces under General Murong would naturally belong to him and obey his dispatch.
What is the difference between such a naive idea and that half-hearted emperor who is about to sink into the earth!
Maybe it took too long to get married. The third prince was a little dissatisfied with the Murong family, and General Murong's army, which had always been a regiment, also wanted to be broken up.
This made the father and daughter feel even more insecure.
They betrayed the imperial court and joined the Third Prince, originally for the sake of the master, but now that the world has not yet won, the master has already lost his head.
Then what are you playing
Unlike the three princes who were always unable to take precautions against Zhou Cheng, the other two rebel groups also noticed that they had formed a dead end in the past three years.
Because of the mutual restraint, the weak chicken court survived, and now the monarch is still in power. If they fight the monarch to death, and the other party helps others to go up, wouldn't the banner of the rebel group's side of the monarch become a joke? .
Although Zhou Cheng has been accepting people from all over the world, and he doesn't have enough food to save, but they can make weapons!
Such an arsenal, letting him make their money by letting it go, is naturally the latter's vested interest compared to taking it down and occupying it himself.
The two rebel groups finally made up their minds after you tried, and I tried, you and I.
Hit Zhoucheng!
Unite to fight!
The problem of distribution will be discussed after the fight is over. Anyway, if they have a good combination of swords, even if the third prince wants to make a move, they will definitely not be able to defeat the two double-layer rebel groups that they have already cooperated with.
For so long, the advisors who have been urging them to fight Zhoucheng are very excited, and they are all working together to try to kill the lord with one blow.
Among them, the most ruthless, and the most in favor of attacking Zhoucheng, the strategist was even more excited, walking with wind, and immediately made a detailed "we should fight like this" plan that night, which attracted the lord's fierce praise to him.
That night, the counselor drank some wine, and the lord asked his personal soldiers to take him back to the camp. The drunk counselor leaned on the personal soldiers, muttered drunken words in his mouth, and pulled the sleeves of his personal soldiers to call the little lady. , The people who saw this scene couldn't stop laughing. After the lord heard it, he couldn't help laughing. Mr. Dao came to him for nearly four years, and he has been planning for him. Then find a beautiful little lady for him when he is busy.
The personal soldier supported the counselor all the way into the tent. When they came out, people outside couldn't help laughing when they thought of that scene. Some people joked and asked him if his hands were very smooth, otherwise how could people mistake him for a little lady? .
The personal soldiers glared at them both with a sullen face, and went here immediately.
It's just that in the hand that was always clenched tightly, some paper was vaguely revealed when there was no one there.
****
Zhoucheng has always been the most stable place in this chaotic world. Because of the wide opening of the city gates, some traders are willing to come here to do business. It was an ordinary morning. This is a city that has become more and more prosperous in three years.
Different from those traders who scattered to find a place to sell things, several carriages were holding goods, and they walked towards the government office with a clear goal. Pedestrians were not surprised, but some traders looked at their backs several times with admiration. Eye.
Otherwise, everyone has their own fate. It is also the same city who walks and sells things. This person knows from nowhere that the city owner of Zhoucheng likes to eat fruit, and he just took the road of Zhoucheng. , and can directly trade with Zhou Chengfu Ya every time.
I heard that the city lord is eating well, and he will order a lot of them in their house to give to other rebel forces. I can earn a lot from this money alone. With such a relationship, where will I go to carry it in the future? Come out, it will definitely not be embarrassed.
Oh, envious!
"father!"
Lin Shiheng was sitting in his chair and drinking tea unhurriedly like an ordinary old man. The second child Lin walked in quickly and handed over the letter in his hand.
"This is a letter delivered with a truckload of fruit."
Lin Shiheng glanced at the [City Lord's personal revelation] on the letter, "Has anyone read this letter?"
With a trace of worry, the second child Lin said, "It is said that he was checked by several waves of people on the way. This letter has also been opened and read a few times. Dad, is there any obstacle? Do I need to arrange it from my son?"
"No need."
As the weather got colder and more bulky, the old man, who didn't look fat at all, took a sip of tea, his expression still light: "This is an ordinary letter originally."
"But in the past three years, we have never received a letter from there, how could it suddenly..."
"Take it apart and see."
Second Lin obediently opened the letter, and found that it was indeed a very ordinary letter. It only said that the caravan was looking for the plant called pepper that the city lord wanted to eat, but they found nothing. I hope the city lord would not blame it. A carload of fruit as a gift.
Now he couldn't understand why such an ordinary letter had to use so many hidden stakes to send the letter at the risk of being discovered.
"You're still young, so it's my fault that dad didn't tell you about it before."
Lin Shiheng took the letter that his son respectfully took at random, and turned it over in his hand.
Second Lin immediately remembered the various processes of those letters.
Could it be that there is something else in this letter
For example, dripping water can display the characters, or it is a hidden poem, or, it is necessary to split the characters to spell.
He fantasized a lot, but he listened to his father, who was sitting quietly like a pine, saying leisurely:
"The news they want to give is not in the letter, but in the envelope. When they saw it off, there was an agreement that if something changed, they would write a letter."
"[Wanglin City Lord personally Kai] is the three parties working together to deal with us, [Lin City Lord personally Kai], there is one party who wants to attack my Zhoucheng, if it is like this letter, the four words [City Lord Personal Kai] are written, then There are two parties who have already cooperated and are determined to fight against Zhou Cheng."
Therefore, even if this letter is read by hundreds of people, they will only think it is an ordinary letter.
"Where did you buy this truck of fruit?"
Shocked that his own father's routine was so unpredictable, the second Lin quickly replied respectfully.
"It seems that this time, the third prince did not participate."
Lin Shiheng chuckled and threw the letter in the incense burner, watching it burn to the ground.
"That's right, as I wish."
Second Lin pondered for a few seconds, "Dad wants to make an alliance with the Three Kings?"
Although Zhou Cheng has been secretly growing stronger, he has never played in the end. If it is a one-on-two, the winning rate is not very high.
"alliance?"
Lin Shiheng glanced at his son with disgust, "Why should I join him?"
He tilted his head slightly, his lips twitched.
"He's already on the order, we can't go now, when will we wait?"
"Send my order, the fifteen sons of the third prince led troops to assassinate the city lord of Zhoucheng, causing my eldest son Lin Guangyao to die."
"I, Zhou Cheng and him, will never die!"
