142. Lost Billions All At Once!
At six o'clock in the morning the next day, Chu Chen woke up on time.
With his current cultivation base, six hours of sleep is quite enough.
After washing up and just walking into the lobby, Chu Chen almost laughed out loud!
Because, Namei actually sat upright in her seat!
At this time, Namei's eyes were already bloodshot.
As if she didn't see Chu Chen, she looked at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion without blinking,
He couldn't help murmuring; "Why haven't you come...why haven't you come..."
What a silly girl...
Chu Chen shook his head and walked over, patted her on the shoulder,
"Hey! Your experience time is over, it's time to change!"
Then Namei turned her gaze to Chu Chen, and asked in awe: "Why...
"What why?" Chu Chen asked knowingly.
"Why didn't those envoys come?" Namei's voice suddenly became very wronged, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
Chu Chen almost laughed out loud in his heart.
why?
Of course it's because of etiquette!
There are only a few envoys who want to surrender, and they still have the guts to visit late at night?
Are you disturbing yourself, the city lord, to rest?
Are you really not afraid that you will not accept their surrender and destroy them in a fit of anger?
It's a very simple truth, but it's a pity that Namei doesn't understand it.
Seeing that Chu Chen didn't speak, Namei was even more sad.
She sat upright on the chair all night full of anticipation!
I'm afraid that some messenger will come suddenly, and he won't be able to show his majesty.
Even, after seeing the messenger, she even rehearsed what she should say and the tone of her speech hundreds of times in her mind!
However, her eyes were almost blinded, and the messenger didn't appear.
She felt like she had lost hundreds of millions at once!
No, it is several billion!
For her who loves money like her life, this is more uncomfortable than death!
Chu Chen didn't show any sympathy at all, he just lifted her aside and sat on the chair by himself.
But Namei said relentlessly: "You must have some secrets that you haven't taught me!"
"What's the secret?" Chu Chen asked with a question mark.
"The Secret to Getting the Messenger to Come!"
Chu Chen couldn't help laughing now, "How can I control whether the messenger will come or not?"
"You think too much!"
"Is there really no secret?" Namei still didn't believe it.
"Really not!" Chu Chen replied very seriously.
"Okay, then I believe you, it seems that my own luck is too bad..."
Nami lowered her head in frustration.
At this moment, the communication array on Chu Chen's desk lit up.
Those beautiful eyes lit up all at once!
As soon as Chu Chen connected, the voice from over there came over,
"My lord, there are five groups of envoys outside the city gate asking to see you, saying that they are here to surrender!"
"Bring them over here!"
After the call ended, that beautiful face instantly appeared in front of Chu Chen.
The distance between the two is only 0.0000001 centimeters.
"You still say there is no secret?" Namei's hot breath directly sprayed Chu Kong's face.
B...
Chu Chen was also helpless.
He didn't know why it was such a coincidence!
As soon as the front foot finished dealing with Namei, the messenger came from the back foot.
Who would have thought of this?
Chu Chen leaned back on his chair and explained, "It's really just a matter of luck."
"Nonsense!" Namei pouted her mouth in anger.
Chu Chen spread his hands and said no more.
He couldn't say, "The envoy wouldn't come at night, I was teasing you on purpose", could he?
That doesn't have to hurt too much.
So, under the unwilling eyes, Chu Chen accepted the five cities again.
Now, although there are still many cities tied to Lihua Sky City.
But in fact, Chu Chen was just not in a hurry to brand the stele.
Ten more days passed.
In the past ten days, Ziyan City and Sanmu City have not been idle, and they captured eight cities respectively.
Zhuge and Jiang Yamei controlled Wucheng and Shengguang Angel City, and also captured ten cities respectively.
In the next few days, after no more envoys came to ask for surrender, Chu Chen took the time to go around and branded all the monuments of the cities that had surrendered.
In the end, on the east, west, and south sides, there were only four cities left to resist.
There are a total of 3,600 war chains left on the Sky City of Lihua City.
In other words, to the north of Tachibana Castle, there are still thirty-six cities standing on the side of Gaoshui City.
However, this is not a big problem for Chu Chen.
Because in the past ten days, he has put the two exercises of Ba Ti Jue and Ba Wang Jue into the completed school for everyone to learn.
Moreover, Time Immortal Mansion and Mowu Trial Tower are also open to everyone, so as to quickly improve the overall strength of Lihua Sky City.
After finishing these things, the next step is to wait for Sheng Xia and Jiang Yamei to lead the army back.
At that time, we can launch a general attack on Gaoshui City.
For such a form, even the people of Lihua Sky City and Lihua City clearly felt it.
Especially the people of Lihua City, don't mention how surprised they are by such a situation!
I thought it was the end of the world when the hundred cities declared war, but now they have the clear upper hand!
Even the coalition army headed by Gao Shuicheng has lost Zhang's arrogance recently!
This further deepened their sense of identity with Lihuacheng.
Every time he speaks, he carries the prefix "Zan Lihua City".
However, in Gaoshui City, Wei Quan hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
It's not that I don't want to sleep, it's that I can't sleep at all!
Every time I close my eyes, there will be voices like "My lord, it's not good! XXX city has fallen!"
He never thought about sending troops to destroy Lihua City immediately!
But he knew that under the current situation, it would be fine if he didn't send troops, but if he sent troops, the whole line would probably collapse!
Because the current side of Gaoshui City has nominally gathered the military forces of the thirty-six lower-level cities north of Lihua City.
However, in fact, the military power of these thirty-six cities was wiped out by Zhu Zhongyi several times, and then by Chu Chen. Now there are less than 20 cities that really have combat power, with a total force of 100,000. Black iron level or so.
These twenty cities did not have the momentum they had at the beginning. They seemed to be completely intimidated by Lihua City, and they had no desire to send troops at all.
Every time they mention sending troops, they will mention Gaoshui City.
It is said that as long as Gaoshui City sends troops, Lihua City will definitely be destroyed in a snap!
Although they spoke nicely, Wei Quan understood that they were clearly blaming Gao Shuicheng for not being able to see his strength!
But Gaoshui City really can't send troops!
Even Gaoshui City in its heyday could not ignore the existence of Heyue City.
Not to mention that now because of the loss of three thousand silver knights, it only has a little more than 70% of its strength in its heyday.
But he really couldn't figure it out.
A mere Lihua city, why does it have so much energy?
Even a hundred cities working together can't take it down?
Even, there will be so many cities surrendering to it?
Lower-level city, surrender to the lower-level city?
Don't those lower-level cities that surrendered know how to write the word "shame"?
He thought and thought, and finally came up with the answer!
That's right, it must be because of that treasure!
The source of everything is the treasure underground in Lihua City!
It is precisely because of it that Lihuacheng has the courage to challenge Gaoshuicheng!
It was also it that frightened the other lower-level cities and made them willing to surrender!
Thinking of this, Wei Quan became even more angry!
Because this should belong to him!
"What should I do? What method can I use to get back my treasure?"
Wei Quan walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about this question all the time.
"Damn beggar! How dare you steal my cake? I can't beat you to death!"
A burst of shouting and cursing suddenly came from not far ahead, which attracted Wei Quan's attention.
Wei Quan frowned.
Who is so courageous to beat people in the street?
He walked over quickly, and saw a group of street vendors beating and kicking some ragged beggars.
Just walking over, these thin beggars have been beaten with blood all over their heads!
Wei Quan was about to call for a stop, when he saw one of the beggars screaming bitterly while being beaten,
"You beat me to death! The compatriots in Lihua City will avenge us!"
With this cry, the other two beggars followed suit:
"You people in Gaoshui City treat us refugees from 413 like dogs, and your retribution will come soon!"
"I only hate that I didn't stay in Lihua City back then. I couldn't become a soldier and kill you high-water dogs!"
After hearing the beggar's words, Wei Quan's eyes instantly turned cold,
"Stop it!"
"Ah! It's the city lord!"
"Meet the Lord City Lord!"
Everyone fell to the ground immediately after discovering Wei Quan's appearance.
Wei Quan walked up to the three beggars,
"Are you from Lihuacheng?"
The three beggars glanced at him without answering.
A street vendor said flatteringly:
"My lord, they escaped from Lihua City during the tide of ferocious beasts!"
"Oh?" Wei Quan said thoughtfully, "Is it just the three of them?"
"Of course not!" the street vendor said disgustedly: "They came all at once, let alone a hundred thousand people!"
"After coming here, I will not leave, and make trouble in Gaoshui City all day long!"
"Most of the beggars in Gaoshui City are these people now!"
After the vendor finished speaking, other onlookers also said:
"That's right, a lower-level city is a lower-level city, and these people are the moths of our Gaoshui City!"
"Stealing, robbery, cheating, whatever bad things you can think of, there is nothing they don't do!"
"Everyone is old and fierce. If they don't give them jobs, they will beat them!"
"Now the whole slum is taken over by them!"
People talked one after another, and spit at the three beggars on the ground from time to time.
The three beggars have been listening silently, breathing more and more rapidly.
Finally, a beggar couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:
"Is it us who want to steal, want to rob?"
"Do you Gaoshui City treat us as human beings?"
"We want to work, have you given us a chance?"
"We want to farm, do we have land?"
"We fled from our homes and came here. You have no sympathy, but ridicule in every possible way!"
"You forced us to become like this!"
