"It's true that our Cheng Clan is powerful, but we will never take the initiative to oppress others, unless someone is trying to harm the Cheng Clan's interests.
Do you think that you are harming the interests of the Cheng family? "City Lord Zhou smiled faintly in the face of Cloudy Gathering City Lord's questioning.
"City Lord Zhou, if that's what you're saying, then it's your Cheng Clan that has harmed our interests first. Otherwise, we wouldn't be doing this," Hai City Lord spoke up.
"That's right, City Lord Zhou, if you think we're harming the Cheng Clan's interests, then let's both take a step back. As long as the Cheng Clan is willing to compensate for our losses, we'll open the gates as soon as possible. What do you think? "City Lord Wu said.
Seeing that so many people were responding to his words, he naturally had more confidence in his words.
If everyone remained silent, it would be difficult for the conversation to continue, especially when the Cheng Clan had taken them down a notch as soon as they came in.
"You want the Cheng Clan to compensate for your losses? How do you want the Cheng Clan to compensate you? "City Lord Zhou was startled, before he burst out laughing.
"It's very simple. The reason why we have conflicts is because the Cheng Clan has issued all kinds of external quests.
Especially when the Cheng Clan issued the quests to the White City Alliance last year, it had a great impact on us.
If the Cheng Clan is willing to issue the quests to the other alliances, we won't seal off any of the gates. City Lord Zhou, is our request too much? "City Lord Wu continued.
"That's right, what City Lord Wu just said is what we all want to say to the Cheng Clan.
As long as the Cheng Clan can fulfill our request, we won't do anything that has any conflicts with the Cheng Clan in the future, "the other City Lords quickly chimed in.
"Does that mean everyone agrees with the suggestion?" City Lord Zhou asked.
"That's right, we only have one request. Just like the White City Alliance, we'll issue the Cheng Clan's quests to the other alliances," Yun Lai City Lord said confidently.
"If that's what you're thinking, it's not too much!" City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"Does that mean City Lord Zhou has agreed to our request?" The crowd was overjoyed.
"Of course not, didn't the Qinghe City Lord tell you?" City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"City Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this?" City Lord Wu glanced at City Lord Qinghe and saw the helpless and awkward expression on his face. He then turned to City Lord Zhou and asked.
"The Lord of Qinghe City has already made this request to me, but I rejected it. The reason is very simple.
You should know why the White City Alliance can issue missions for our Cheng Family! "City Lord Zhou said.
"This … How would we know? Qinghe City Lord, you didn't tell us about this! "Wu City Lord looked at Qinghe City Lord with dissatisfaction.
It turned out that this guy had already thought of such an idea, and it seemed that he wanted to monopolize it.
"Everyone, please don't misunderstand. The reason why I haven't said anything is because the city lords have never been able to come to Qingyang City.
I was planning to tell everyone after everyone had arrived, but I didn't expect that two city lords had just arrived at Qingyang City, and there are still three city lords who haven't arrived yet. Naturally, I can't tell everyone about this! "Seeing that many city lords were dissatisfied with him, the Qinghe City Lord quickly stood up and explained.
"Then tell us, why did City Lord Zhou reject your request?" City Lord Wu asked.
"Because City Lord Zhou wanted me to submit the Qinghe Alliance to the Cheng Family, so he was willing to hand over the missions to us!" Qinghe City Lord said.
"Submit to the Cheng Family? City Lord Zhou, that's a little too much. Besides, the White City Alliance only submitted to the Cheng Family a few months ago, right?
If I remember correctly, the White City Alliance has already issued the Cheng Family's missions a year ago, right? "City Lord Wu asked.
"That's what you might think. However, what you don't know is that the White City Alliance has already submitted to the Cheng Family more than a year ago, even before they issued the Cheng Family's missions.
However, we didn't ask City Lord Bai to disclose this matter to the public. If it wasn't for the fact that you sealed off all the entrances to the White City Alliance, I don't think the Cheng Family would want to disclose this matter to the public.
Therefore, if you want to receive the Cheng Family's missions, the only condition is to submit to the Cheng Family.
Of course, even if you submit to the Cheng Family, you will only have a chance to receive the Cheng Family's missions! "City Lord Zhou said.
"A chance? What do you mean? "The crowd was startled.
"Even if you submit to the Cheng Family, it won't be easy to receive the Cheng Family's missions.
First, you must at least get the permission of our Patriarch. If our Patriarch doesn't agree, you won't be able to receive the missions regardless of whether you submit to the Cheng Family.
If our Patriarch agrees to give the missions to you, you will need the second condition, "City Lord Zhou said with a smile.
"What is the second condition?"
"The second condition is that even if you submit to the Cheng Family, you must pay a certain amount of money to the Cheng Family every year to receive the missions!" City Lord Zhou said.
"Money? What's that? "The crowd was startled.
"Simply put, you must pay some resources to the Cheng Family every year. It's the reward for the Cheng Family giving you the missions!" City Lord Zhou explained.
"Reward? If we submit to the Cheng Family, we will be part of the Cheng Family. Why do we have to pay the reward? "The crowd was even more confused.
"Even though your territory will belong to the Cheng Family after submitting to the Cheng Family, the Cheng Family will not interfere with the internal affairs of your alliances.
Therefore, your alliances will still belong to you as long as you don't betray the Cheng Family.
In addition, we have never changed the tribute you have to pay to the Cheng Family. You will still have to pay tribute to the Cheng Family in the future, but the Cheng Family will not collect the tribute for the missions.
Therefore, if you receive the missions from the Cheng Family and earn a lot of money, but you end up giving all the resources to the Cheng Family or yourself, won't the Cheng Family suffer a great loss?
Furthermore, if you submit to the Cheng Family, the Cheng Family will have the responsibility to protect you from being bullied by other forces.
The Cheng Family can't keep contributing without asking for anything in return, right? Do you still think that the Cheng Family's request is too much? "City Lord Zhou asked.
"Of course it's too much, and I think it's ridiculous. Since we have submitted to the Cheng Family, we will naturally pay tribute to the Cheng Family in the future. Why do we still have to pay tribute to the Cheng Family?
If we hand over the tribute to the Cheng Family, does that mean that we don't have to pay extra resources to the Cheng Family?
Now that the Cheng Family doesn't want to collect tributes, but instead accepts some cooperation fee, doesn't that mean that the Cheng Family and the Cheng Family are splitting our resources for no reason? Isn't this too much? Isn't this ridiculous? "City Lord Hai frowned as he spoke.
It was obvious that he was right to the heart of the matter. The Cheng Family's actions did not benefit them in any way.
Especially after hearing his words, even City Lord Bai, who was standing beside City Lord Zhou, was puzzled and could not help but look at City Lord Zhou.
He had never thought of this problem before. Even though he had submitted to the Cheng Family, he still had to pay tribute to the Cheng Family.
However, he also had to pay an exorbitant amount of resources to the Cheng Family every year.
Now that he thought about it, he realized that his contribution was much greater than before.
"Hehe, do you think that if the Cheng Family doesn't ask for your tribute, the Cheng Family won't ask for it?
We are just thinking for the sake of the various alliances. We don't want to cause any losses to the Cheng Family, but at the same time, we don't want any disasters to befall you.
I can tell you for sure that if you hand over the tributes to us, the Cheng Family will definitely cause trouble for you.
Even though you have submitted to the Cheng Family, it is only natural for us to protect you.
However, our desire to protect you and our ability to protect you from harm are two different things.
If the Cheng Family wants to deal with all the alliances at the same time, how many experts do you think the Cheng Family will need to send to protect all the alliances?
Therefore, even if the Cheng Family is willing to protect you, you will still suffer great losses.
However, if the Cheng Family doesn't accept your tributes and you continue to hand them over to the Cheng Family, I can guarantee that they won't cause trouble for you anymore.
It's just that simple. You still took out so many tributes to protect yourselves. Isn't this our Cheng Clan protecting you?
As for the cooperation fee, it is a cooperation after all. Regardless of whether you are going to pay tributes to the Cheng Family or the Dynasty, as long as you want to receive the Cheng Family's missions, you have to pay the cooperation fee, "City Lord Zhou explained confidently.
"So according to City Lord Zhou, the White City Alliance also has to pay tributes to the Cheng Family and cooperation fee to the Dynasty?" City Lord Wu asked as he looked at City Lord Bai.
"That's for sure, and you should know that. The White City Alliance isn't the only alliance that has submitted to the Cheng Family.
Two years ago, Hong City and Xian Yue City also submitted to the Cheng Family. However, they didn't receive any missions from the Cheng Family.
If we do as you say, doesn't that mean the Cheng Family has to provide them with missions for free?
Of course, that's impossible. Therefore, don't think that the Cheng Family has to provide free services to your alliances just because you have submitted to the Cheng Family! "City Lord Zhou reminded.
