Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Then how will the conflict between the Bai and Xiang families be resolved? Where are their families? "
Bai Mingyue said in a deep voice, "The main families of the Bai and Xiang families are in the capital of the Ice Jade Country, the Ice Jade City. Before the two of them make a move, they must inform the King. Then on that night, the King won't care what they do. Moreover, the people in the city won't appear to avoid accidental injuries."
As soon as Zhao Hai heard Bai Mingyue's words, he was stunned. This was the first time he heard of such a strange rule. This was really too strange. A country actually allowed two families to fight in its capital. What kind of rule was this?
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "The Imperial family of the Ice Jade Country seems to be the Yu family, right? Is this how they manage the Ice Jade Country? Aren't they afraid that the big families will become strong and destroy them? "
Bai Mingyue said in a deep voice: "This is very difficult. The imperial family has very strict restrictions on the number of soldiers each family can raise. For example, large families like the Bai family and the Xiang family can raise no more than 50,000 soldiers. This 50,000 includes all the military forces, such as the adventurer groups controlled by the Bai family, all the military forces stationed in the family, etc. All of these must be taken into account. If the imperial family finds out that you have raised more than this number, they won't ask for a reason and will immediately send troops to annihilate your family. These years, many families have been annihilated because of this. Because of this, the Ice Jade Country has always belonged to the Yu family."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice, "In other words, if someone wants to go to war with the Ice Jade Country, not only must they take into account the number of troops in the Ice Jade Country, but also the private troops of each family. This is the number of troops in the entire Ice Jade Country, right?"
Bai Mingyue nodded and said, "Right, if Ice Jade City were to go to war with other countries, then the Kings would allow their families to bring their own private soldiers to fight alongside them. The private soldiers of each family would also undergo a temporary reorganization. If a family were to render meritorious service on the battlefield, then they would receive a lot of benefits. They could even give you a piece of land, making you a country within a country. However, in the entire Ice Jade City, there isn't a single noble with a piece of land. There were some in the past, but they were all eliminated because of rebellion."
Zhao Hai nodded, he had a general understanding of Ice Jade City's situation. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I'll leave White Fox City to you. I don't need an army, I only need information. Send someone to contact the Purple Light Mercenary Group in Ice Field City. Tell them that I'm the one who sent you there. Make sure to cooperate with them. Also, I have people in the Purple Light Mercenary Group, you have to listen to them. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? "Bai Mingyue and Li Cong hastily replied," Yes, we understand. Please rest assured, Young Master. "
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Treat it as if nothing has happened. Also, don't mention me. Mingyue, did you mention me to the Bai Family?"
Bai Mingyue shook his head and said, "I didn't, Young Master. I just told the Bai Family that there might be an expert causing trouble here and asked them to send someone to provide support. However, they didn't agree and said that I should deal with it myself."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, you need to contact the Purple Light Adventurer Group as soon as possible. They have an expert there. Right, you need to find a way to control the other Adventurer Groups in White Fox City. However, don't let them resist too fiercely. It's best if you can deal with them quietly."
Bai Mingyue nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master can rest assured. But Young Master, although I have some command over the city's defense army, if something happens, the city's defense army would only listen to the orders of the city's defense officer. And the city's defense officer is directly under the command of the Imperial Family. I'm afraid that this would be troublesome."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about them. I don't want you to control the City Defense Army, nor do I want you to start a war with the City Defense Army. What I want is for those Adventurer Groups to help me collect information. Remember, I said that I don't want them to become an army. I want them to provide me with information.
Do you understand? "Bai Mingyue nodded and said," Yes, I understand. Young Master can rest assured. "Li Cong also had the same reaction.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Alright, it's good that you understand. Mingyue, contact the Purple Light Adventurer Group as soon as possible. When the time comes, they will provide you with food and vegetables. You need to start your business as soon as possible. Right, if you manage to expand your business, will the Bai Family come and snatch it away?"
When Bai Mingyue heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he knit his brows and said, "That's possible. Young Master, although I'm a member of the Bai Family, because of my poor cultivation talent, I've never been valued. I'm also very good at managing businesses. I've earned a lot of money for the Bai Family over the years. However, after so many years, I've never seen anyone from the Bai Family thank me for making money. On the contrary, whenever I manage a business well, someone would immediately come and take it over. I'm afraid that it will be the same this time. If I manage White Fox City well, I'm afraid that they will send someone to take over. When that time comes, I'll be in trouble."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he pondered for a moment before he said, "Don't be afraid. If that day really comes, I'll have the Bai Family change its Patriarch. It wouldn't be bad for you to be the Bai Family's Patriarch."
Bai Mingyue stared, then he looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief and said, "Young Master, you want me to be the Bai Family's Patriarch? How is that possible? The Bai Family wouldn't agree. "
Zhao Hai looked at Bai Mingyue and coldly said, "Do I need their agreement?" Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Bai Mingyue didn't say anything. He understood what Zhao Hai meant. If the Bai Family dared to make a move against him, then the Bai Family would be in trouble.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Li Cong and said, "Li Cong, the management of your group are now my people. You need to cooperate with these people. Do you have any problems with the Ice Sword Guild?" Li Cong nodded and said, "Alright.
Li Cong replied, "There's no problem at all. Young Master, I can't guarantee anything else, but from today onwards, the Ice Sword Group is yours. You can even order them to die."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'm happy to hear that. Besides controlling the Ice Sword Group, you also need to cooperate with Mingyue. Understood?"
Li Cong nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master. I understand. Young Master can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he let out a long breath and said, "I won't be staying here. Mingyue, send a letter to the Bai Family tomorrow. Tell them that the matter here has been resolved. Tell them that they don't need to send anyone else."
Bai Mingyue nodded. Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Just remember my instructions. I'll give you these two transmission formations. You can use them to contact me in the future. Others can also use them to contact you. Take care of them, I'll be leaving." Then Zhao Hai's body flashed with white light as he disappeared from the room.
After Zhao Hai left, Bai Mingyue received the transmission formation and then turned to Li Cong and said, "Li Cong, you need to do a good job in the city. You need to gather the information that the Young Master wants as soon as possible. Although the Young Master didn't say anything about gathering information, I can see that the Young Master is very interested in the number of troops in the Ice Jade Country, as well as the private armies of the various clans. Although you need to gather information about this, don't neglect other information."
Li Cong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't delay the Young Master's matter. Right, when should we send someone to contact the Purple Light Adventurer Group?"
Bai Mingyue replied, "I'll send someone to contact them tomorrow. Currently, White Fox City doesn't have any experts. If we can get two experts to guard the city, then it would be good for us."
Li Cong nodded, then he said, "Then how do we deal with the White Bear Adventurer Group?"
Bai Mingyue said solemnly, "What's there to resolve? Everyone's dead. What's there to resolve? I'll talk to the other adventurer teams in the city in two days. In the future, you'll still be in charge of the city's market. If anyone asks you about this matter, just say that you've agreed to my conditions and have given me my share."
Li Cong nodded. Then he frowned and said, "But the other Adventurer Groups are suspecting that I'm responsible for the White Bear Adventurer Group's matter. What should we do?"
Bai Mingyue shook his head and said, "They won't. Maybe when they see the White Bear Adventurer Group's situation, they'll suspect you first. But once they react, they won't suspect you. How could you have such strength? You should've destroyed the White Bear Adventurer Group long ago. Why would you wait until now? The White Bear Adventurer Group has always been against you."
Li Cong nodded, then he said, "If that's the case, then that's great. City Lord, you can stay here tonight and return tomorrow. This way, the other Adventurer Groups won't suspect you."
Bai Mingyue nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll return tomorrow. I'm very curious now, I want to know what the Young Master wants to do."
Li Cong said, "What's the point of thinking so much? Just do what the Young Master told us to do. Let's go and have a drink." Naturally, Bai Mingyue didn't oppose.
At this time, Zhao Hai was sitting in his room in White Fox City. He stood by the window and looked outside. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't want to use the Slave Formation this time. He didn't expect that he would need to use it in the end. But no matter what, the matter has been resolved, and this was enough.
Now that the matter in White Fox City has been resolved, Zhao Hai prepared to leave. He already had a plan for his next stop, Zhao Hai was going to Ice Jade City.
Ice Jade City was the capital of the Ice Jade Country. It was also the largest city in the country. But at the same time, Zhao Hai was very curious about it. He really wanted to know what it was like to be allowed to fight in the capital by the Emperor.
Another thing was that Zhao Hai wanted to go to Ice Jade City to keep an eye on the Bai Family. If he didn't care about the Bai Family, then the Bai Family's survival wouldn't matter to him. He was worried that if the Bai Family failed, then Bai Mingyue's position as the City Lord wouldn't be guaranteed. Therefore, he wanted to go to Ice Jade City to keep an eye on things.
