Chapter 208 New event starts!
In the next few days, the Yang Kingdom's envoys argued with Wen Zhong and others under Zhang Lu during the day, constantly testing the bottom line of the other party's negotiations, and formulating rules for mutual business.
And at night, they drank at the banquet until late at night before going back to sleep.
It's just that those envoys from the Sheep Kingdom were no match for Wen Zhong in negotiations. After just a few days of testing, Wen Zhong almost saw through their pants.
Before leaving, Liu Yue looked at Wen Zhong with some emotion. He really admired him. Unfortunately, none of the lords under the Yang Kingdom summoned a talent like Wen Zhong.
The Sheep King even asked him if there was any way to lure Wen Zhong to the Sheep Kingdom. For this reason, the Sheep King offered a bargaining chip for a county.
In his heart, Wen Zhong is more important than a county!
Unfortunately, under Liu Yue's testing during this period, there was no possibility of Wen Zhong betraying the Immortal Realm, and Zhang Lu would not send Wen Zhong away just because of a county.
After the envoys left, Zhang Lu sent Long Yi and Zhu Ming to form an envoy to go to the Sheep Kingdom. He also sent some equipment produced by the dwarf craftsmen. Although the value was not as good as those presented by the Sheep Kingdom, it was still inferior. Not going anywhere.
The Immortal Realm fell into a rare period of peaceful development again, and one month passed quickly.
During this month, Zhang Lu gave Wen Zhong the golden lion and the horse gear that the dwarf captain had given him.
If Zhang Lu rewards others for no reason, the people below him will be dissatisfied, but when he rewards Wen Zhong, it is expected of everyone. The soldiers and officials below will also say that Zhang Lu has clear rewards and punishments!
Because Wen Zhong's contribution to the Immortal Realm is obvious to all. Although Wen Zhong has not made very great achievements, every political achievement he has done cannot be considered small.
And if almost one person can manage this force in an orderly manner, who else can do it? All the officials, big and small, were convinced by Wen Zhong, and the soldiers were also willing to obey Wen Zhong's orders.
The Immortal Realm can no longer live without him.
If Zhang Lu was the kind of monarch who likes to be suspicious, he might start to be wary of Wen Zhonggong Gaogai.
But Zhang Lu is different. First of all, he believes in Wen Zhong!
No matter how much power and prestige Wen Zhong had in the Immortal Domain, he never showed any disrespect to Zhang Lu. Even when some aboriginal officials once said they wanted to support Wen Zhong, he immediately reported it to Zhang Lu and publicly executed him. .
He once said in private that although Zhang Lu trusted him very much, he could not be presumptuous because of this trust. In order to show his loyalty, he would not start a family, including adopting a son.
He has no descendants and no family. This shows that he will never form a faction. Even officials who try to please him will be warned by him!
Another reason is Zhang Lu's confidence in himself!
Most of the buildings in the entire territory need to be opened by him as the lord, and besides Wen Zhong, his generals such as Long Yi, Tu Xingsun, Hou Yi, and Sun Wukong are all loyal to him and have no deep relationship with Wen Zhong. , and he is the strongest person in the entire territory.
Military power is in hand, as a great man once said, political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
If nothing else goes wrong, their territory should continue to develop until spring tomorrow, and then they will start to implement their plan for Huang Country.
But if there is no accident, then there must be an accident.
On this day, Zhang Lu was in the backyard of Lingxiao Palace, watching the flying snowflakes falling from the sky and melting on the ground with Nv Wan. As Nv Wan, the nine-tailed fox, she didn't know why she liked snow very much.
She has now grown a fourth tail. The four tails are constantly sweeping and stained with snow, but the snow is the same color as her hair, making it impossible to tell whether it is snow or her tail.
Zhang Lu just watched her playing in the snow with a warm smile on his face.
But soon, the warm smile turned into surprise, and then he frowned and immediately called Ye Qi's name.
Just now, the "god" of the lords sent a notice.
[Regional activities start]
【Selecting activities.】
[The result of the selection is that monsters are attacking the city. The harsh winter has arrived and everything is withered. Near the territory of each lord, a large group of monsters have set their sights on the location of your lord's cabin because of hunger. In order to capture the human territory without any loss, they have chosen to unite! Lords, please guard your territory! 】
[Monster siege countdown: 72 hours]
Monsters siege the city!
The description of the event clearly states that the target of the monster attack is the location of the lord's hut, which is the city where Zhang Lu is standing now!
Zhang Lu vaguely remembered the first monster siege after entering the lord world. It was when he was not in the territory. A group of skeletons attacked the territory without warning. Fortunately, the members in the territory tried their best to resist and were able to barely block it.
Now I don’t know how intense it is this time, whether it’s harder or easier than it was then.
The difficulty he mentioned refers to the comparison between the monsters and the strength of the territory. If it can be defended as long as the combat power is there, as before, then he doesn't have to worry.
However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Lu decided to assemble his army!
Seeing his frown, Nv Wan slowly walked to him and gently massaged him with her hands, hoping to give him some help.
Ye Qi walked in from outside after hearing Zhang Lu's voice, ready to obey Zhang Lu's orders at any time.
"Go and draw up an order to have Long Yi, Hou Yi, Sun Wukong lead a thousand heavenly soldiers, a thousand yellow scarf warriors and all the Taoist boys to gather in the fairyland!"
Ye Qi was shocked after hearing his order. He actually had to mobilize so many people?
However, as a subordinate, she didn't ask any questions and just walked out immediately. She would do whatever Zhang Lu said.
Zhang Lu was also walking towards the Lingxiao Palace. There was a reason for the people he mobilized.
Now there are two neighboring countries in the Immortal Territory. The Huang State is still waiting for Zhang Lu's food supply, and the domestic war is fierce. It is impossible to send troops to invade again.
The Sheep Country on the other side has just signed a non-aggression treaty with itself. If they want to raise troops to attack themselves, they will be punished by the treaty.
Moreover, the Sheep Kingdom has now transformed almost all of its territory into the territory of the lords, and they are also threatened by monster sieges.
Now in the fairyland, there are a total of 1,300 heavenly soldiers, 1,700 yellow scarf warriors, and more than 300 Taoist boys, a total of more than 3,000 troops. Plus Cain's vampire army, there are 1,000 professionals left. There were enough troops to defend several cities.
Except for Tu Xingsun who is ready to support at any time, all other generals have been transferred back to prepare to protect the fairyland!
With this order issued by him, all the soldiers from all over the Immortal Domain began to head towards the holy city in their hearts!
