"Since we've arrived at Qingyang City, please ask the City Lord of Qingyang City to come out. Let's have a good talk with him!" City Lord Zhou said.
"City Lord Zhou, the City Lord of Qingyang City is only a Deputy City Lord. The one making things difficult for us is definitely the City Lord of the Qinghe Alliance. This is not something a Deputy City Lord can decide!" City Lord Bai said.
"In that case, City Lord Bai …" City Lord Zhou frowned.
"City Lord Zhou, since the Qinghe Alliance has teamed up with the other alliances to make things difficult for the White City Alliance, it's obvious that they won't compromise with the Cheng Clan so easily.
Therefore, I believe that we should show them our strength so that they understand the situation they are in.
If they dare to disrespect the Cheng Clan, the consequences will be dire.
Furthermore, the Qinghe City Lord of the Qinghe Alliance hasn't arrived at Qingyang City yet. If we wait until he arrives, it will be even more difficult for us to resolve the problem.
Therefore, what I mean is that we must take down Qingyang City before the Clear River City Lord arrives. If we do that, it will definitely be a great blow to the Clear River Alliance.
What do you say, City Lord Zhou? "City Lord Bai said with a smile.
City Lord Bai was not an easy person to negotiate with. The other alliances had banded together to suppress the White City Alliance when they saw the rise of the White City Alliance.
If they had not done so, the White City Alliance would not have been forced into a corner and had no choice but to submit to the Cheng Clan.
Since they had forced the White City Alliance into a dead end, he would not let the Qinghe Alliance off so easily now that he had the support of the Cheng Clan.
If you respect me, I'll respect you back ten times. However, if you don't want the White City Alliance to have an easy time, I won't let the Qinghe Alliance have an easy time either!
He had brought the experts of the Cheng Clan to the Qinghe Alliance to deal a heavy blow to the Qinghe Alliance.
If he continued to speak nicely to the Qinghe Alliance, what was the point of him paying such a huge price for his advantage?
"City Lord Bai, are you suggesting that we use force to force the Qingyang City Lord to submit to us?" City Lord Zhou asked.
"City Lord Zhou, I feel that since our Cheng Family is so powerful, why don't we just take Qingyang City for ourselves?
This Clear Sun City was a genuine First Class City. If the Cheng Clan could obtain this city, it would be an important step for them to control the Clear River Alliance in the future or for the Cheng Clan to expand their influence in the future!
Furthermore, with the Cheng Family's strength, it would be almost impossible for the Qinghe Alliance to take back Qingyang City! "Governor Bai suggested with a smile.
If City Lord Zhou agreed to his suggestion, then Qingyang City was bound to be theirs.
At that time, when the Qinghe City Lord knew that Qingyang City had fallen, he would definitely be infuriated. It would really be too exciting.
"No! We're only here to resolve the crisis for the White City Alliance, not to annex others, so we can't invade Qingyang City. Otherwise, we'll be bringing shame to the Cheng Clan.
Governor Bai, I have to remind you of this. In the future, don't use the Cheng Clan's name to annex other forces.
Unless you have the permission of the Master, you'll be the one to suffer! "City Lord Bai said coldly.
If the Cheng Clan really wanted to annex other forces, would they need to wait for City Lord Bai to remind them?
As the City Lord of Yun Gui City, his only responsibility was to protect the city. Something like expanding his territory was definitely not something he could decide.
Unless the Master asked them to expand their territory, they would not have the guts to do so.
After all, they had no say in the Cheng Clan's plans. Therefore, the Cheng Clan's future would be decided by someone else. It was not up to any member of the Cheng Clan to decide for them.
"Thank you for your reminder, City Lord Zhou. I understand!" City Lord Bai's heart tightened when he saw City Lord Zhou's cold gaze and he quickly lowered his head.
He knew that he had said the wrong thing. Perhaps he had been too eager to teach the Qinghe Alliance a lesson.
To the Cheng Clan, these words had crossed the line.
In the past, he had been the absolute ruler of the White City Alliance. However, the current White City Alliance was only a part of the Cheng Clan.
As a part of the Cheng Clan, his authority was naturally not as great as it had been when the White City Alliance was the only one.
This was the pros and cons of submitting to the Cheng Clan.
Although he had the Cheng Clan's support and the Cheng Clan would not interfere with the White City Alliance's affairs, he was nothing in the eyes of the Cheng Clan.
Apart from the White City Alliance, he had no say in anything that was related to the Cheng Clan.
It was also possible that City Lord Bai had not gotten used to these changes yet. He believed that he would slowly get used to it after some time.
"Our mission is to resolve the crisis for you. You just have to do as we say!" City Lord Zhou said.
"Yes! I'll follow City Lord Zhou's instructions! "City Lord Bai nodded and did not dare to reveal his true intentions.
After all, City Lord Zhou was the only person he could rely on. If he made him unhappy, who would help him?
In addition, the White City Alliance would need City Lord Zhou's help in the future. Therefore, he could not afford to offend this man.
"Mm, it's good that you understand. Sometimes, being clever won't bring you any benefits. In fact, it might even harm your own interests.
Go and summon the City Lord of Qingyang City. Even if we really want to force Qingyang City to compromise with us, we have to be polite before resorting to force. At the very least, we have to make sure that we don't tarnish the Cheng Clan's reputation! "City Lord Zhou said with a nod.
"City Lord Zhou is right. I've learned my lesson. I'll summon the Deputy City Lord of Qingyang City now!" City Lord Bai said humbly.
City Lord Bai led a group of people toward the south gate of Qingyang City while City Lord Zhou and the others rested where they were.
"The City Lord of the White City Alliance and City Lord Zhou of the Cheng Clan are here to pay a visit to Deputy City Lord Ji. We would like to invite Deputy City Lord Ji out of the city for a chat." City Lord Bai led his men to the city gate and shouted.
However, to Governor Bai's annoyance, even though the guards of Qingyang City had already gone to relay the news, Deputy City Lord Ji of Qingyang City was nowhere to be seen even after the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
"Why hasn't your Deputy City Lord appeared yet? Is he not going to see us? You'd better make it clear that I'm here with Governor Zhou of Yungui City. If you neglect him, Qingyang City will be in deep trouble! "City Lord Bai said unhappily.
"Calm down, City Lord Bai. We've already sent someone to inform the City Lord. I believe that he will be here to welcome you and City Lord Zhou very soon!" The guards of the city said loudly.
Although City Lord Bai was displeased, he could not do anything about it.
However, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, there was still no sign of Deputy City Lord Ji. City Lord Bai was getting more and more furious.
"Your Deputy City Lord Ji is really putting on airs. It's been so long and he still hasn't come out to meet us. Does he really intend to start a war with the Cheng Clan?" City Lord Bai could not hold it in any longer.
"Please wait patiently, City Lord Bai. Our Deputy City Lord will be here very soon!" The guards of the city replied once again.
"It's fine for me to wait, but I'm afraid that you've made City Lord Zhou impatient. If something uncontrollable happens, don't blame me for not reminding you." City Lord Bai said coldly.
"This … Quick, send word to the City Lord!" The guards of the city were clearly still wary of the Cheng Clan as he instructed the soldiers beside him.
The soldier nodded and immediately ran down the city gate!
"City Lord Bai, please wait a little longer. I've already sent someone to inform the City Lord. I believe that once the City Lord receives the news, he will rush over to meet all of you!" The guards said to City Lord Bai.
"Hmph! I'll wait a little longer. If you continue to act like this, don't blame me for not giving you face! "City Lord Bai said coldly.
Although he knew that the Cheng Clan would not attack Qingyang City, the people of Qingyang City did not know that. It was still possible to scare them.
Indeed, City Lord Bai did not have to wait for too long. Suddenly, a group of people appeared on the city gate tower.
"The City Lord of Qinghe City?" City Lord Bai was shocked when he saw who it was.
He had always thought that the City Lord of Qinghe City was in Qinghe City and had never come to Qingyang City. However, this fellow was already in Qingyang City. It was obvious that he had received news that they and City Lord Zhou had arrived at Qingyang City.
"City Lord Bai, it's been a long time. What is the meaning of City Lord Bai bringing so many people to Qingyang City? Are you trying to start a war with the Qinghe Alliance? "The City Lord of Qinghe City frowned as he looked at the group of people gathered nearby.
He had already received news that City Lord Bai and the experts from the Cheng Clan had arrived. However, he needed at least three days to wait for the other alliances to arrive.
Initially, they had not planned to meet City Lord Bai and the others. However, they did not dare to delay any further when they saw that someone had come to deliver the news.
If it was only the people from the White City Alliance who had come to Qingyang City, they would not even bother to meet them.
However, with the experts from the Cheng Clan around, they did not dare to delay any further. If they really angered the experts from the Cheng Clan and attacked Qingyang City, it would be disastrous.
Hence, they could only try another method to stall for time.
"Don't worry, City Lord Bai. We won't start a war for the time being. It all depends on your sincerity!" City Lord Bai said with a smile.
"What do you mean, City Lord Bai?" The City Lord frowned.
