C321 Federation
On this day, the construction of the house began.
As a well-informed person, everyone could feel it. The Ice King had done this obviously because he wanted to stay in the Xueyang City for a long time, to the point where he wanted to fight to the bitter end with Han Family.
Unexpectedly, something completely unexpected happened. The normally overbearing and barbaric Han Family, at this time, was completely silent. The arrogance had disappeared and was replaced by a sense of peace and quiet.
So much so that the disciples of Han Family who normally did not pay while they ate outside were actually giving them money these past few days. When I'm free, I'll help you with some odd jobs on the construction site.
This atmosphere gave the entire audience a bad premonition, as if a storm was approaching.
As a local tyrant, would Han Family be so willing to lower its head and admit defeat? It was the same as the king of the empire. It was not easy to lower one's head, so the only possibility was that both sides were gathering their strength. Preparations are on the verge of being made.
On one side was the prince, and on the other was the real emperor of the Xueyang City.
Even though the position of the prince was lofty and his influence was great. However, this was not the imperial city, but a small city. It wasn't that easy to suppress a local snake.
City Lord's Mansion
Mo Wanchou had been living under stress for the past few days. In less than a month, he realized that he had lost a lot of weight and had lost a lot of sleep. The only regret was that his hair was whiter than before.
Having been the City Lord for so many years, this month alone was the one that caused him the most distress. Originally, he had thought that the Prince would write a letter to the Imperial Court to replace him, the city lord. However, no matter how he waited, there was still no news of him.
"Sigh!"
Mo Wanchou sighed bitterly. He picked up the ginseng tea on the table and drank it to ease his spirit a little.
"When is this day going to end? The Duke had to suppress them painstakingly, and use Han Family to force them? Yet, you chose to trap me, the City Lord, in the middle of it all. " Mo Wanchou bitterly shook his head.
"Milord, Lord Zhou and the other masters have requested an audience. They said that they have important matters to discuss with Milord." At this moment, a young city guard entered the room with a respectful report.
Master Zhou? Are you talking about Master Zhou Yu? " Mo Wanchou immediately stood up from his chair and became more spirited.
"That's right!" The guard nodded in agreement.
"Hurry, hurry and invite him in." There was a hint of happiness on Mo Wanwei's face.
As the master of the Xueyang City, he had been here for dozens of years. He was very familiar with the distribution of power in the city. Even though Han Family is a local snake, its power is the greatest. But the gentlemen below were not weak.
If some families of the alliance, or even some business associations were to join forces, no matter how strong the force of Han Family was, they would still not dare to offend it.
After all, the Han Family still had to survive. If they angered the masses and forced a dog to jump into a wall, at most they would just scatter and scatter.
Now that he saw these gentry coming, Mo Wanchou suddenly had a plan. With their opinions, he had a plan for this dark battle.
"City lord …"
"City lord …"
With Zhou Yu as the leader, no less than ten old men in luxurious robes walked in with a smile. They all cupped their fists and greeted Mo Wanchou.
"Old masters, please sit!" Mo Wanchou did not put on any airs as he made an inviting gesture and invited the old masters to take a seat with a smile like friends.
"City Lord, the purpose of our visit. I believe you have already guessed a few things. " The one who spoke was Zhou Yu. In the previous three great families, Zhou Family was one of them.
Now that Lee Family had been chased out, although only two great families remained on the surface, in reality, everyone understood. The real Overlord would only be Han Family, while the other families would only obey his commands.
"Lord Zhou, may I know what you are talking about..." Mo Wanchou frowned on purpose. It was best to play dumb on this matter. If Zhou Yu had come to probe him, then the one who was in trouble would be him.
Zhou Yu seemed to have guessed that Mo Wanchou would say this. After all, with his timid personality, he wouldn't offend others.
"About the Duke and Han Family." Zhou Yu stood up and muttered: "In our Xueyang City, no matter if it's the Duke or the Han Family. None of them are something that we can afford to offend. But as a citizen of this city, there must be a right choice. "
"That's right!" City Lord, that's why we came this time to look for the City Lord to express our stance. You also know our painstaking efforts. If we support the Duke, then we will offend the Han Family. If you support Han Family, you will become enemies with the Prince. "No matter which side you are on, none of us can afford to offend you." Another slightly plump old man smiled and said.
"Then your meaning is …" Mo Wanchou paused for a moment before frowning slightly. Then, he looked at the elders sitting on the chairs to his left and right.
"Alliance with the Lord, advance and retreat together with the Lord. No matter which side the Lord supports, we will die for sure. " With Zhou Yu in the lead, more than ten people stood up at the same time and said in unison.
Mo Wanchou was completely shocked.
What he did not expect was that these people actually had the same worries as him.
However, with these people's opinions, Mo Wanchou finally felt relieved. He finally had the right choice.
In Ye Feii's yard.
Ye Feii was standing beside a large tree of grass in the courtyard, scissors in hand, cutting through the weeds. Little Ice Emperor and Floral Spirit were both sitting on the tree trunk, two little fellows holding hands, talking about something with each other.
"Your Highness, it is just as you guessed. Mo Wanchou has indeed gathered all the gentlemen of Xueyang City in the council. Furthermore, we are prepared to publicly support Han Family and make you an enemy of the Duke. " The soldier's face was red as he cupped his fists and said. Their Black Flag Army were known for killing mercifully, and no one in a huge army could be a match for them.
However, due to the fact that this tiny Xueyang City was in such a sorry state, even though he had the ability, he was unable to display it.
Ye Feii continued to cut the weeds, smiled lightly and said: "Go to Lu and Qing Province as soon as possible. Just say that this king can borrow three hundred slaves and five hundred soldiers from the two city lords. "
"Your Royal Highness, you …" The soldier was stunned and could not understand Ye Feii's thoughts.
"Go! Don't ask so much. " Ye Feii waved his hand. As a resident of the Xueyang City, he knew too well the distribution of power in the Xueyang City, so all of these were within his grasp.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With that, the soldier turned around and left.
"Chi Chi!"
"Oooo!"
Floral Spirit and Little Ice Emperor shrieked sharply and jumped down from the tree at the same time. They landed on Ye Feii's shoulder and revealed strange smiles.
"Little Ice Emperor, Floral Spirit. What do you think? Am I going too far? " Ye Feii smiled cruelly. A vicious look appeared in his eyes. His purpose, his methods. Other than Little Ice Emperor and Floral Spirit, no one else knew. In the eyes of Ye Feii, only these two little fellows could be trusted.
Little Ice Emperor and Floral Spirit's small heads shook left and right like a rattle drum. Clenching their fists together, excitement shone in their eyes.
"Alright! Be careful. Tonight, the two of you should go to Han Family. It would be best if you can find that hidden Han Family expert and kill him if you can. Do not kill, do not act rashly, do you understand? " Ye Feii touched Little Ice Emperor's and Floral Spirit's small faces and ordered. Ye Zichen smiled wryly and walked towards the room.
"Chi Chi!"
"Oooo!"
Little Ice Emperor and Floral Spirit yelled excitedly at the same time. They jumped off Ye Feii's shoulder, leaped together, and left the courtyard.
On this day, a few things began to unfold. First, the Ice King left the mayor's residence. The Ice King prepared to stay in an inn, but no matter which house he went to, it was always full.
In desperation, Ye Feii could only leave the Xueyang City and camp outside the city.
But then, something else happened. At the construction site of Ye Feii's building, an unfortunate event happened. A worker was thrown to death, and in the end, under the lead of the worker leader, over a hundred workers at the place where Xueyang City was located, took their tools and asked the Ice King for an explanation. What was funny was that one of the workers had also found a reason to fall to his death. Because the land was not even so smooth and the feng shui was not good, so he fell to his death.
The commotion lasted for an entire afternoon before it subsided in the evening. However, these workers were the leaders of the construction for a month. They completely demolished the building and turned it into ruins.
Even Mo Wanchou and all the other gentlemen in the city had pledged allegiance to Han Family. It was simply wishful thinking for him to build a house in Xueyang City.
Originally, people from the Black Flag Army and even the Xueyang City thought that the Duke would be furious. A huge fight was fought, and blood flowed like a river. However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Feii didn't say anything. He even ordered the workers to be paid.
After Ye Feii did this, the clamoring workers all quieted down. Everyone knew that the Mayor was a coward. Could a prince be that useless?
However, reality proved that Ye Feii was not what they thought he was.
Ye Feii did not want to kill Han Family, but rather to eliminate the entire Han Family, and make this Black Tortoise Family that had thousands of years of history, disappear, and let those people receive their retribution.
If it was just a fight on the basis of a single breath, he would have launched a huge attack. Not only would his two years of hard work be in vain, but he would also be chased out of the city under the shouting of these voices.
After the day of victory, all the gentlemen of Xueyang City, as well as Mo Wanchou and the others, had gathered at the Han Family.
In order to celebrate this day, Han Ling immediately held a feast.
If he were to win against a prince, there wouldn't even be a place for him to sleep. It was indeed worthy of celebration.
"Lord Han, please forgive us for offending you earlier on. You know, it's really hard for this city to sit in this position right? "
At the banquet, everyone was drinking and chatting happily. Mo Wanchou still held his wine cup in an embarrassed manner as he spoke to Han Ling apologetically.
"City Lord Mo must be joking, how can this city blame the City Lord?" That dogshit prince, it was all thanks to the City Lord that he was able to have this day. Haha! Come, drink up! " Han Ling laughed loudly on the chair.
It was true that today had been a great day for him. He had won over all the families in the city to become the only tyrant, but he had won over a high and mighty prince. This was simply unprecedented.
"Haha!" Master Han is right, as long as our Xueyang City is united, there will be no king. "You can only scram and leave."
