"City Lord, the troops are ready. The other Deputy City Lords should be bringing them to the South Gate soon!" Deputy City Lord Ji said.
A total of 28 cities' soldiers and horses had already been properly arranged over the past two days.
Now that the White City Alliance had arrived, they just needed to gather them at the South Gate.
However, it was not a matter of whether the troops were ready or not, but whether they were really going to fight the White City Alliance and the Cheng Family.
This made him very worried!
Even though they had nearly two million troops stationed in Qingyang City, he still did not feel safe.
"That's good. If the Cheng Family really wants to break into Qingyang City, we will show them our two million troops.
I think the Cheng Family will not ignore their own safety when they see so many people, right? "the City Lord of Qinghe City said.
"But I heard that City Lord Zhou is a Crossing Tribulation Expert, and we don't know how many people the Cheng Family has brought.
If City Lord Zhou is not the only Crossing Tribulation Expert, we will be in trouble. "Deputy City Lord Ji said worriedly.
"I know that City Lord Zhou is indeed a Crossing Tribulation Expert, but we have two million troops here. Even if they have more than one Crossing Tribulation Expert, we may still be able to defeat them!" the City Lord of Qinghe City said.
"City Lord, it's hard to say. The terror of a Crossing Tribulation Expert is definitely not something we can imagine." Deputy City Lord Ji said.
Although their alliance was stronger than the White City Alliance, they also did not have a Crossing Tribulation Expert.
Moreover, at their level, it was actually very difficult to see a Crossing Tribulation Expert in action.
Therefore, it was very difficult for them to measure the strength of a Crossing Tribulation Expert.
If they had not reached that level, others would never be able to understand it.
"That should not be possible! Although a Crossing Tribulation Expert is very strong, our two million troops should be able to resist them. "The City Lord of Qinghe City said.
The reason why he did not want to have a head-on conflict with the Cheng Family was not because he was afraid of the Cheng Family, but because he was worried that if he hurt them, the Cheng Family might come for revenge in the future.
In his opinion, the Cheng Family and the White City Alliance should not be a match for his two million troops.
"City Lord, they are coming!" Deputy City Lord Ji looked at the tens of thousands of troops approaching and became even more nervous.
It was obviously meaningless for them to discuss who was stronger and who was weaker.
"Lord of Qinghe City, this is Lord Zhou of Yungui City!" Just as the people on the city gate tower were getting nervous, Governor Bai took the initiative to introduce them to the Qinghe City Lord.
"City Lord Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you in person!" The City Lord of Qinghe City cupped his fists and said politely.
"Lord of Qinghe City, I heard that there is a plague in the Qingqing Alliance. Is it true?" City Lord Zhou asked directly.
"This … of course it's true. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sealed the city gates!" The City Lord of Qinghe City was stunned. He didn't expect City Lord Zhou to be so direct. However, even if this matter was fake, he wouldn't admit it.
"What are the symptoms of the Clear River Alliance's citizens after contracting this plague?" City Lord Zhou continued to ask.
"Uh … this …" The Qinghe City Lord did not expect City Lord Zhou to ask this and did not know how to answer.
The plague was just an excuse. How could he have thought so much about it?
"City Lord Zhou, the infected people in our city don't have any special symptoms. Many of the people who died didn't even have any symptoms. Therefore, it's hard for us to say!" At this moment, Vice City Lord Ji interrupted Qinghe City Lord's words and said to City Lord Zhou.
"Yes, City Lord Zhou. Many of the infected people died mysteriously without any symptoms. Therefore, this plague is extremely terrifying. This is also the reason why I didn't allow everyone to enter the city. Please forgive me, City Lord Zhou!" After hearing Deputy City Lord Ji's words, the Qinghe City Lord also reacted and quickly followed Deputy City Lord Ji's words.
"That's a coincidence!" City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"What do you mean, City Lord Zhou?" The City Lord of Qinghe City, Vice City Lord Ji, and even City Lord Bai were confused. They couldn't understand what City Lord Zhou meant by "coincidence".
"It's like this. Recently, some people in our Cheng Clan died mysteriously. Moreover, this disease is extremely contagious. Those who came into contact with the infected people all died one after another.
Fortunately, our Cheng Clan discovered this in time. Once this happened, we isolated all the infected people and those who came into contact with them.
Now, apart from those who fell ill too quickly and didn't receive treatment in time, all the other infected people have received treatment.
Therefore, our Cheng Clan's plague has basically been cured.
From what the City Lord of Qinghe City said, the plague in your Qinghe Alliance and our Cheng Clan should be the same kind.
As the saying goes, it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Since this is the case, we, the Cheng Clan, have a lot of experience in treating this plague. Please, Clear River City Lord, quickly open the city gates and let us in to help the Clear River Alliance return to normal. Otherwise, more people will be infected by this plague, "City Lord Zhou said seriously.
"Uh … this …" Hearing City Lord Zhou's words, the City Lord of Qinghe City and Vice City Lord Ji's expressions changed again.
"That's right! Qinghe City Lord, since the plague has appeared in your Qinghe Alliance, and our City Lord Zhou and the brothers of the Cheng Clan happen to have a method to cure your plague, that's great news. Please open the city gates, Qinghe City Lord.
If we miss this opportunity to cure it, then even more people in the Clear River Alliance will be infected by this plague. That will be troublesome. " City Lord Bai was a smart man. Although he was shocked by City Lord Zhou's words, he was pleasantly surprised.
He didn't believe that the plague had appeared in the Cheng Clan. At the very least, he didn't hear anything about the plague when he went to the Cheng Clan for help.
However, he couldn't help but admire City Lord Zhou's excellent excuse.
How could he miss such a good opportunity? He quickly went along with City Lord Zhou's words and persuaded the City Lord of Qinghe City.
Since the plague had appeared in the Qinghe Alliance, the consequences would be unimaginable if they didn't act in time to control it.
"This … thank you for your kind intentions, City Lord Zhou and City Lord Bai. Actually, the plague in the Clear River Alliance is basically under control, so there's no need for City Lord Zhou to worry about it. I believe it will only take a few days to completely control the plague in the Clear River Alliance."
The City Lord of Qinghe City and Vice City Lord Ji exchanged glances. Both of them felt as if they had shot themselves in the foot.
However, the plague didn't exist. It was just a lie that they made up. How could he allow the Cheng Clan to enter the Qinghe Alliance?
"Is that so? However, from what I know, only Tribulation Passing Stage experts can suppress the plague. Could it be that the Qinghe Alliance has so many Tribulation Passing Stage experts?
Why don't you call them out so that we can share our thoughts? That way, we can control the plague better. It's a blessing. What do you think, City Lord Zhou? "City Lord Zhou wasn't someone who could be dismissed so easily.
No matter how the City Lord retorted, City Lord Zhou would always find a new breakthrough point and leave the City Lord speechless.
"Please forgive us, City Lord Zhou. We did invite a few Tribulation Passing Stage experts to control the plague.
However, these Tribulation Passing Stage experts have already left the Qinghe Alliance. Because the remaining infected people aren't very sick, we can control it ourselves.
Unfortunately, we can't find those Tribulation Passing Stage experts, so we can't let City Lord Zhou exchange more thoughts with them! " Seeing that the City Lord was speechless once again, Vice City Lord Ji had no choice but to find a seemingly flawless excuse to reject City Lord Zhou's request.
As for the plague needing Tribulation Passing Stage experts to treat it, no one knew if that was true or not. However, since City Lord Zhou said so, they could only comply.
However, it was impossible to find these Tribulation Passing Stage experts. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to keep up the lie.
However, he felt bitter in his heart. Because of a lie from their City Lord, they could only use more lies to cover it up.
"That's right, City Lord Zhou. I'll have to disappoint you. Those Tribulation Passing Stage experts have indeed left the Qinghe Alliance, so we really can't satisfy City Lord Zhou's request!" The City Lord once again used Vice City Lord Ji's words to speak.
This City Lord Zhou was too difficult to deal with. He was clearly setting a trap for him.
City Lord Zhou nodded and said with some regret, "That means the plague in the Qinghe Alliance is under control!"
"Yes, we can control the rest of the patients. Although we don't need City Lord Zhou's help, we still have to thank City Lord Zhou for his concern for our Clear River Alliance! "The Clear River City Lord saw the regret on City Lord Zhou's face and couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this moment, he really wanted to chase City Lord Zhou and the others away. If he continued to ask, he really didn't know what kind of unanswerable questions would come up.
"You're too kind, City Lord. As long as the Qinghe Alliance is fine, it is something to be happy about.
I believe that since the plague in the Qinghe Alliance is under control, there is no point in sealing the city gates. Please open the gates and let us in! "City Lord Zhou said.
