Chapter 162 Meet the City Lord

Three days later, Qingmei took people to work. Zhou Yi also rushed to the city master's mansion with Du Chengfeng and Mingying to apply for Baoxing's introduction.

Shangguan Fengyun retired as soon as he came back and was strictly forbidden by the imperial court to participate in activities related to pottery refining. Although Zhou Yi was not upset, he could not make trouble for his father-in-law, so he had to bring Lao Du, who was familiar with the situation but was quite a little uneasy. As the leader of the Nuyue Gang, Mingying wants to write her name on the introduction, and of course she has to go with her.

This time, the Yongwu League attacked Gusu City, and the city lord's mansion was the main target. Gusu Chengping has never had such a thing for many years. The army was slow to respond, thanks to Feng Chao and Feng, the owner of the city, who ran fast, otherwise he would have made dumplings. At this time, the city owner's mansion was busy and seized the time to repair the house. Feng Chengzhu was sitting in the side hall with a gloomy face, with two middle-aged men sitting at the bottom of his head, and three men in armor with white faces to varying degrees, who seemed to be garrison generals.

"Well, all three generals go down and repair the city defense. At the emperor's place, I have my own words."

"Thank you for your success!" All three of them were a little gray, and Shi Li retreated.

"Lord, your body..." The middle-aged man on the left head is medium-sized, with a face like a silver basin. His big eyes are quite elegant, but his mouth is slightly bigger, adding a little fierceness.

"It's okay. I called you two here, just to ask them for your help to consult in detail. What is the way of this brave martial arts alliance? This time, the city guardian beast of Gusu was robbed, and the court blamed it. I, the lord of the city, seems to be at the head.

"City lord, this brave military alliance is a bandit, and it has become stronger and stronger recently. Moreover, I have heard that the one who robbed the heart of the city was Yuan Zhongzi, the owner of the island in the east of the South China Sea, the strongest in the world. If the court realizes this, it will only send more people to suppress it, and it will not blame you. The white-faced middle-aged man is eloquence.

"Master Wang, the mastermind behind the brave alliance, do you really not know who it is?" The middle-aged man with the right head is slightly fat, with a pair of triangular eyes and a big nose. He looks very ordinary, but at this moment, his tone of voice is cold, with a sense of resentment.

"Well, Lao Lin, I knew you would think so. Chief Lin didn't come because he was suspicious of me, right? Although the Brave Martial League did not cause any harm to my family, it is true that we have nothing to do with bandits!"

These two people are from the two largest families in Gusu, the Wang family and the Lin family. One is Wang Yueming, the head of the Wang family, and the other is Lin Zhong, the younger brother of the head of the Lin family.

Looking at what the forest has to say, Feng Chao waved his hand: "Two, Gusu City is ready to be prosperous. Please take more time to contact the gentlemen in the city to help the poor and prosper the market, so that Gusu City can be stable as soon as possible. As for the origin of the Brave Martial League and the whereabouts of the heart of the city, I have ordered the three generals to find it as soon as possible. The main purpose of inviting you two this time is to consolidate the city defense.

Seeing that the two were concentrating on listening, Feng Chao continued, "The most important part of the fall of Gusu City this time was defeated on the crystal cannon. The cannons of the bandits are nearly twice as powerful as ours. Both of them are local chemists and have a treasure bank. I don't know who can solve this problem and produce the same or more powerful crystal cannons as the bandits?

"This..." Wang Yueming glanced at the forest and said slowly, "The technical design of the crystal cannon to array construction, material performance, explosive research and many other contents is very complicated. We Jinshi Baoxing did not give up research for a moment, but... how can this technical difficulty be so easy to overcome?

At this time, the forest stood with Wang Yueming and nodded, "It's true. The cannons used by bandits should be purchased from the Charles Empire. My lord, why don't you buy it from the Charles Empire..."

Feng Chao shook his head with a black line: "Let's not talk about the price, and whether the country agrees. How long will it take for long-distance sea transportation alone? I'm afraid that the Brave Alliance will come again!"

"This... the Yongwu League's siege this time seems to be specially designed for the heart of the city. Now they have won, and it seems that they don't need to..."

"The elder of the royal family lives in Gusu. Why did he say this?" Wang Yueming said unhappily, "What's more, the princess of the state had foreseen the actions of the brave military alliance. If they get the heart of the city, they may not be able to summon the city guardian beasts..."

"Oh?" Wang Yueming's eyes flashed, "Your Excellency, is there anything wrong with the heart of the city?"

The forest looked soar that he was about to ask a question, but Feng Chao waved his hand: "It's about the court. Don't ask more about this matter. I just want to ask you, can you take out the same crystal cannon as the Charles Empire within a month?

"This..."

Seeing the two's hesitation, Feng Chao frowned and said, "I have a small green crystal mine here, plus the development cost of 600,000 taels of silver. I will pay whoever can build the cannon first..."

Green crystal mine! The two looked at each other and sparked at the same time.

Each family knows their own family affairs. 600,000 taels of silver is not a large amount for the big family. However, chlorite ore has always been controlled by the imperial court and strictly restricted individual mining. Although green crystal is not valuable, its daily consumption is very large, and it is definitely the most valuable resource on the mainland.

Just as the two quickly turned their brains and thought about how to persuade the city owner, a government official came to inform: "Your Excellency, Du Chengfeng outside the house is looking for a meeting!"

Du Chengfeng? What is he doing here? Feng Chao was stunned, and Lin Zhong and Wang Yueming looked at each other curiously.

Although the Du family is a big doorman, the old Du loves refining, and also has the level of a third-order refiner. Having a son is more known as a genius, but compared with the Wang and Lin families, the Du family can only be regarded as second-rate. What will happen if you come to the city owner at this time?

"Your Excellency, I asked to see you with Du Chengfeng, as well as Cheng Mingying, the leader of the Nuyue Gang, and Zhou Xiaolong, the chief chemist of the Nuyue Gang." The government official said and presented Du Chengfeng's worship post.

Feng Chao opened it and glanced and nodded: "The Nuyue Gang became famous in the south of the Yangtze River. This time, Gusu's danger is also thanks to them. Come on!"

Gu Su was at the time of employing people. What's more, Nuyue Gang did make great efforts, and Feng Chengzhu didn't have any airs. Seeing Zhou Yi and the three appeared at the door, he took the first two steps in person: "Brother Du, are you all right?"

"Lord Feng!" Du Chengfeng's status as a third-order weapon refiner is not low, so he didn't have to kneel down when he saw the city owner, but just gave a salute, but after all, he asked for others and his posture was very respectful.

"Excuse me, is this Lord Nuyue Help Cheng?" Feng Chao has long noticed the woman walking behind Du Chengfeng. She looks very young. Yao's nose and lips, a pair of red phoenix eyes are clear and bright, full of starlight, tight purple and blue Chen Xiushi clothes, covered with a black cloak, which is clean and heroic from the inside to the outside.

"It's right here." Mingying agreed loudly, and then bowed down and saluted, "Son the lord of the city!"

"Next week, Xiaolong, I will meet the city owner." After Mingying, it was Zhou Yi, who was no longer handsome. His skin became a healthy wheat color, and his face also had more edges and corners. He had long purple hair, but only one pair of eyes were unchanged and clear and dust-free.

"Oh, the chief refiner of the Nuyue Gang?" Feng Chao was also surprised by Zhou Yi's youth.

"I dare not do it." Zhou Yi said modestly.

"King patriarch, Brother Lin!" Du Chengfeng also saw two heavyweight figures, and his heart was awe-inspiring and smiled at Feng Chao, "I don't know that the adult is meeting guests. Du is really presumptuous."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Feng Chao smiled and motioned the government official to look at the seat, "Please sit down! I also discussed business with the two patriarchs. This time, Gu Su's danger has made great contributions to the Nuyue Gang, and I would also like to thank Master Cheng here.

"Adult's words are heavy..."

Zhou Yi sat at the end and peeked at it. He saw that the owner of Fengcheng was of medium stature. He may be used to nourishing and his body was fat, but his eyes were very bright and he could speak well. At first glance, he was used to dealing with various scenes.

And the heads or second leaders of the two big families of Wang and Lin also made Zhou Yi amazed. They were indeed steady and restrained. Although they were ugly and handsome, they all had a degree of demeanor. At first glance, they were masters of Chen Xiu. It's just that their eyes flashed, as if there was something on their mind. In addition, the two were quite high in status. Seeing Feng Chao sitting openly with Du Chengfeng and others, although their faces were not obvious, they could also see a trace of hesitation from their faces.

"Since you still have business..." Wang Yueming just wanted to express his attitude, Feng Chengzhu waved his hand with a smile, "The patriarch of the Wang clan is busy, but he is not in a hurry for a moment. Please wait a moment."

At this time, a handyman brewed the tea. Feng Chao and other Du took a sip of the wind and asked, "Brother Du, what can you do here?"

"Du came here, it's really a ruthless invitation..." Du Chengfeng subconsciously looked at Wang and Lin, but saw that Wang Yueming's face was calm and his big mouth was tight. Lin Zhong's triangular eyes squinted and he was calm, so he stiffly said, "Three days later, Master Cheng and I prepared a thin wine at the 'back to Yanlou'. I don't know if the adult can be appreciated. ?"

"Drink?" Feng Chao was first puzzled, and then smiled and said, "Brother Du, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Who is still in the mood to drink at this time?"

"Ha ha," Du Chengfeng also felt embarrassed and smiled twice, "Then I'll say it directly. Don't blame me, my lord."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Actually, this time, it's mainly for Master Cheng."

"Oh?"

"That's true." Mingying quickly took over the conversation and said crisply, "Nuyue Gang wants to take root in Gusu and open a treasure business in the city. I hope you can allow it."

"Do you want the introduction of the treasure?"

Listening to Mingying's words, not only Feng Chao was refreshed, but also Wang and Lin couldn't help opening their eyes and looking at each other.

"The treasure business is indeed a good deal. However, the competition in Gusu City is still very fierce. In addition, the court has also tightened the power of the treasure bank. I'm afraid it's not easy to do..." Feng Chao sighed.

"This..." Du Chengfeng secretly complained. If Wang and Lin were not there, there would naturally be a generous Cheng Yi to send them at this time, but now, there is no chance to bribe... What should I do?

"My lord, how can the quotation be awarded to us?" Ming Ying had no worries and asked directly.
