Twenty days later, in Peerless City's City Lord's Manor, Wu An sat at his desk with a teacup in his hand. The generals in front of him were extremely worried.
"General, what, what should we do? It's been twenty days and Zhong Shan's army of two hundred thousand is gone? Evaporated? And every time there's a clue, the sentries are gone. What should we do? "A general said with a worried expression.
"Can't we find Zhong Shan? Forget it, he'll come looking for me. "Wu An frowned.
"But …" The general wanted to say something.
"Back then, when King Julu mobilized eight million troops to search, Zhong Shan was able to escape with the old, weak, women, and children. It's impossible for those sentries to find him. Zhong Shan's ability to hide his troops is number one in the world. We don't have to waste any more effort. "Wu An said.
"But, are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" The general said.
Crack. The teacup in Wu An's hand was crushed.
Clearly, Wu An was also very anxious.
"Wait and be patient. Zhong Shan is the reinforcements sent by the Daluo Dynasty. He only has one goal, and that's Peerless City. Sooner or later, he'll come looking for me." Wu An said.
"Then what should we do?" The general asked.
"Close the four gates. Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave. I don't believe that he can appear in the city out of thin air. "Wu An said.
"Yes!" The generals replied.
At the same time, in a valley far northeast of Peerless City.
The valley was cylindrical and the only exit was from the top. The bottom of the valley had been leveled and paved with smooth white jade. Surrounding the valley were four hundred and one white jade thrones.
One of them was the main seat, while the others were guest seats.
It was a circular meeting place.
At this moment, there were already three hundred and eighty-six people sitting on the white jade thrones. There were still fourteen people who hadn't arrived.
There were more than three hundred people, and each of them was incomparably solemn. They were all people with high cultivation or outstanding prestige.
Each of them had a heroic face. There were sect masters, family masters, and group leaders. In any case, these people represented most of the people and sects outside Peerless City.
Everyone here had received a letter, a letter from the Great Havenlaw Dynasty, a letter from Zhong Shan.
Everyone sighed slightly. That letter was written too ostentatiously, causing everyone to be unable to resist coming. There were 400 guests here, and only 14 of them did not come. From this, one could see the enticement and standard of this letter.
Everyone waited patiently for the arrival of the person sitting in the main seat.
At this moment, someone suddenly raised his head and looked over, followed by a large number of people.
Two figures slowly flew down from above the valley.
One of them was dressed in a scholarly robe with a domineering face, while the other was dressed in black like a bodyguard.
The man in the robe was Zhong Shan, and the man in black was Ada.
Zhong Shan and Ada landed on the main seats, so everybody stood up to show their respect. Zhong Shan looked at the people in the valley and slowly landed.
Standing at the main seat, Ah Da stood behind Master Bai Yu, leaving only Zhong Shan standing in front of the main seat.
Among the 386 people, there were still quite a few who could see Zhong Shan's cultivation level. Sixth tier of Jindan? Who was he?
"I am Zhong Shan. Greetings, everyone!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
Zhong Shan? Everyone stared at Zhong Shan with wide eyes. He was Zhong Shan? How was that possible? He was Zhong Shan?
Because when everyone received the letter, it was signed off as the commander of the Great Havenlaw Dynasty's reinforcements, Zhong Shan.
This person was the commander?
Zhong Shan took note of everyone's attitude. He smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
Bewildered, everyone sat down.
"Yi Yan's Nascent Soul cultivation was able to stabilize the Great Yu Empire. I hope you don't mind my cultivation level," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," everyone immediately said. However, they still did not believe him. Yi Yan was at Nascent Soul after all. What was his cultivation level? Golden Core?
Zhong Shan did not linger and went straight to the point. "Time is limited. Let's talk about what I wrote in the letter."
Everyone's expression turned solemn when they heard Zhong Shan's words.
"Commander, you want to borrow the strength of the people of Peerless City, as well as all the sects and clans in the region?" someone asked.
"Haha, I'm sure that many people are unwilling to accept the things in the city being taken away. Why would their things be taken away by others? "Zhong Shan did not answer the question.
Everyone frowned when they heard Zhong Shan's words.
"That was an invasion by the Great Yu Empire's army," someone said.
"Yes, it was an invasion by the Great Yu Empire's army. This is war. Now, the things in Peerless City have nothing to do with you, nor do they have anything to do with the countless people who left the city. They are no longer yours, "Zhong Shan said.
Although they were somewhat angry, they had no choice but to accept this reality.
"Are you unwilling to accept this? Will the people you lead be unwilling to accept this? "Zhong Shan smiled.
"Commander, you don't want millions of people in Peerless City to fight for you just because we are unwilling to accept this, right?" someone said.
"Haha, of course not. Without enough benefits, who would risk their lives? This is a matter of life and death. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation. "Zhong Shan smiled.
Everyone looked at Zhong Shan with some confusion. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation? Shouldn't he find something nice to say at this time? This commander had made something that was originally not that dangerous to be so terrifying. Who would dare to go?
"Long story short, my conditions are that if you kill the Great Yu Empire's army, you will be rewarded with ten high-grade spirit stones. If you kill a Golden Core Realm expert, you will be rewarded with a hundred high-grade spirit stones. If you kill a Nascent Soul Realm expert, you will be rewarded with a thousand high-grade spirit stones. How about this?" Zhong Shan smiled.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, some people were already tempted. After all, the rewards were very generous. After discussing it when they went back, many of their subordinates would choose to fight for it.
However, more people frowned and thought that it was not worth it. It was dangerous.
"Of course, capture the Great Yu Empire's soldiers. We will not interfere with what is in their storage bracelets. You can force it out yourself. As for how to force it out, it will depend on your own ability." Zhong Shan smiled.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, everyone's eyes lit up. At this moment, everyone showed a look of anticipation. Peerless City was invaded, and there were a lot of treasures in the storage bracelets of the soldiers.
Everyone was tempted.
Seeing the anticipation in everyone's eyes, Zhong Shan struck while the iron was hot and said, "Also, except for the original official residence and military camp, you can plunder them for two days. If you get it, it will be yours."
If you get it, it will be yours? Hearing Zhong Shan's words, nearly half of the people stood up. Even if their cultivation was high, at this moment, they were a little short of breath.
If you get it, it will be yours? Wasn't that allowing the people to become bandits? Peerless City was a treasure trove. How could they plunder it for two days? By then, even some of the better houses would be taken away. This, this …
"What do you think?" Zhong Shan smiled and said.
"Marshal, are you serious?" someone asked excitedly.
"Absolutely. I can write a contract for you. However, there are two conditions!" Zhong Shan frowned and said.
"Please speak, Marshal!" that person said. The others also stared at Zhong Shan.
"First, you can't kill! Second, you can't rape! "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Huh?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.
"What if the people in the city kill us?" someone asked.
"Then you can kill them in self-defense. As long as they don't resist, you must not kill or rape," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, Marshal!" a few of them immediately said excitedly.
"Can the sects do it?" one of the sect leaders asked. After all, some of the sects were established outside of Peerless City.
"Of course, you can do it," Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Marshal!" everyone stood up and bowed respectfully. At the same time, their eyes were filled with joy.
"Okay, listen to my arrangements!" Zhong Shan said.
…
…
After sending off the 300 people, only Zhong Shan and Ah Da were left in the valley.
"Sir, we have an additional four million troops now," Ah Da said excitedly.
"Four million? They are just jackals of the same tribe. How can they be considered soldiers? They are just greedy people, "Zhong Shan said.
"Huh?" Ah Da was slightly stunned.
"However, when the time comes, they will definitely rush into the city like a herd of mad bulls in order to get more things and treasures. This is what I want. What we need is this fighting spirit, this greed, "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Sir, are you using their greed to open the gate of Peerless City for us?" Ah Da analyzed.
"That's right. A person's potential is immeasurable, especially when their greed is aroused. They will do anything to display their extraordinary strength. As long as the government is still in Peerless City, what else is there? Two million people in the city? When they betrayed us, they should have thought of this result. There is no need to tolerate them. As for the other things, we did not lose them. We just returned them to their rightful owners. We did not give them many benefits. We just let them take back their own things, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"You bribed them with their own things. Sir, I admire you!" Ah Da immediately said with a smile.
"Haha! If they don't fight with their lives, these things will belong to others. Therefore, they will definitely try their best to break into the city, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"But why do we have to make two rules with them? No killing and no raping? "Ah Da asked in confusion.
"Killing? The two million people in the city will be citizens of Daluo Heaven sooner or later. They cannot be killed. As for raping? That is to prevent them from losing their minds, "Zhong Shan said after thinking for a while.
"Lose their minds? Prevent them from losing their minds? "Ah Da shook his head with a strange expression. Apparently, he did not understand.
Zhong Shan just mentioned it and did not say anything more. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
