"So this is the binding of benefits?" Inglan seemed to recall what Zhong Shan said when she was young.
"Binding of benefits? Haha, I guess so. "Zhong Shan laughed heartily. Obviously, it wasn't that simple. However, for a female general like Inglan, knowing so much was enough.
Zhong Tian and Zhong Cheng, who were behind her, also smiled faintly.
"Let's go back and prepare for the Country War." Zhong Shan said confidently.
Country War? Prepare for the Country War? Zhong Tian and Zhong Cheng looked at each other. Godfather's words had already placed him in the position of a country? Facing the Daegun Province, could it be that Godfather had decided not to persist in his old ideas and was preparing to establish a country and make a name for himself?
In Yilan Hall, when everyone returned, their mood was much better. Previously, it seemed like a mess with internal and external troubles. Now, with Zhong Shan's help, everything was clear. Within Xuancheng, they were immediately united. Next, they would unite against the external enemies.
"Zhong Tian, why did you come back this time?" Zhong Shan sat down again and looked at his adopted son, Zhong Tian.
"I came back this time to bid farewell to Godfather." Zhong Tian thought for a while and said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan looked at Zhong Tian.
"A few days ago, when I reached the Innate Realm, Master said that my constitution is hard to find even in ten thousand years. He wanted to bring me to a place called 'Divine Land' and enter the headquarters there to cultivate for a long time. Then, I asked Master to let me come back to bid farewell. "Zhong Tian said with a frown.
"That's good." Zhong Shan immediately smiled.
"But …" Zhong Tian said reluctantly.
"Don't worry. Since I have reached the Innate Realm, I will be able to do whatever I want in the future. You can go to Divine Land to cultivate, and my power will infiltrate Divine Land sooner or later. When you return, you can help me. "Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Yes." Zhong Tian let out a long sigh of relief. Since his foster father said he could, then he definitely could.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Shan asked again, "Divine Land, your Master said Divine Land. What kind of place is Divine Land, and what is the name of our place?"
"Master didn't say much, but he seemed to have mentioned that the place we're at is called Skywolf Island." Zhong Tian thought for a moment before he spoke.
Heavenly Wolf Island? Island? Just a big island? How could there be such a big island?
Zhong Shan frowned and thought for a while. Then, he looked at Zhong Cheng, Zhong Tian, and Inglan.
"Inglan, take command of all the soldiers in Xuan City." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." Inglan nodded excitedly.
"Zhong Cheng." Zhong Shan looked at his adopted son again.
"Yes." Zhong Cheng immediately stepped forward and said.
"Others may not know, but I know that you have the talent to be a commander. You know how to use power. For many years, I've put you in charge of developing the market. You've done very well. In the past, we only managed one kind of goods. In the future, I want to manage a country, a dynasty, and a world. Are you prepared for this? "Zhong Shan looked at his adopted son and smiled.
At the same time, besides Inglan, Zhong Tian and Zhong Cheng also heard Zhong Shan's definite answer for the first time. Establishing a country.
"Yes. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Zhong Cheng said excitedly.
"Good. Then we'll start from the people's livelihood. Inglan will lead the soldiers, and you'll be in charge of the people in the city. You'll be in charge of all the police officers and officers. Quickly pacify the people. Also, find out the spies and recruit strong men to supplement the city defense." Zhong Shan said solemnly.
"Yes." Zhong Cheng complied.
"As for Zhong Tian." Zhong Shan looked at Zhong Tian.
"I'm here." Zhong Tian immediately stepped forward.
Zhong Shan flipped his hand and took out a Yin spirit stone and a Yang spirit stone. He gently handed them to Zhong Tian and said, "You've already reached the Xiantian realm. In this short period of time, rest well. When the time comes, you'll come with me to face the other Xiantian experts."
"Yes," Zhong Tian immediately replied. He was a little surprised as he gently took the two spirit stones.
"Good. You can leave." Zhong Shan said again.
"Yes." The three of them immediately left the hall.
After they left, Zhong Shan softly said, "Dark Emperor, come out."
"Yes, master." A figure wrapped in a black robe slowly walked out from a dark corner of the hall.
"Sit." Zhong Shan called out to the Dark Emperor.
"Yes." The Dark Emperor nodded and sat down beside Zhong Shan.
"I believe your Dark Night Hall has also sent out assassins these days. What is the defense outside the city?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes. The Dark Night Hall has already sent out a large number of assassins to infiltrate the army. They're constantly approaching the generals. As long as master gives the order, they'll kill the generals without regard for their lives. It's just that the Xiantian experts from the four great clans and the imperial family aren't easy to deal with. "The Dark Emperor thought for a moment.
"Twelve Xiantian experts? What a big show. Don't worry too much about them. Xiantian experts won't be able to block ten thousand arrows. And there's only one peak Xiantian expert. I have the Eight Oxen Crossbow Bed. They won't dare to attack without permission. As for those generals, I'll give you a list later. Withdraw the assassins from the generals. They're our own people. "Zhong Shan said.
"Yes." The Dark Emperor nodded.
Two days later, the twelve Xiantian experts gathered in the central tent south of Xuancheng City.
The Su family's Patriarch said, "It's already the sixth day. Lian Xian, you said that Xuancheng City would collapse by itself. That didn't happen. Moreover, there are more and more civilians on the city walls. There's also more and more defensive equipment. "
So Lien-hsien frowned. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes. "Maybe Zhong Shan's adopted sons brought out false information to interfere with our judgment."
"No, father," Su Zhengde suddenly said.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Su Zhengde.
"Maybe, maybe Zhong Shan wasn't injured at all, and the civilians participated in the defense. It could only be Zhong Shan. Because even though the people of Xuancheng City don't owe much to Daegun Province, they wouldn't rebel. Now that they really rebelled, there's only one possibility. Zhong Shan has come out," Su Zhengde said.
Hearing Su Zhengde's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, only Zhong Shan would be able to rally such a huge crowd. This was a rebellion. If not Zhong Shan, even if the Crown Prince called for it, the civilians wouldn't dare to rebel.
In the end, it was the Retired Emperor, Su Lianxian, who said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the South Gate to challenge and see if Zhong Shan has come out."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
The next morning, two hundred thousand soldiers challenged the south gate. Twelve Connate Experts led the way. They all rode forward and looked coldly at the city walls.
On top of the city gate tower, Ying Lan was standing with her sword in hand. She was coldly looking down. On top of the city walls, there were archers ready to shoot. Ying Lan wasn't anxious at all because there was a moat outside the city. Although it wasn't very wide, it wasn't a place where these people could cross on horseback. There were eight hundred thousand soldiers surrounding the four city gates. There were only two hundred thousand soldiers guarding the south gate.
Among the twelve Connate Experts, one of them looked like a man in his forties. So Lien-hsien rode forward.
"Where's Zhong Shan?" So Lien-hsien shouted at the city walls.
The shout of a Connate Expert could be heard from ten miles away. Not only on the city walls, but also in the city.
At the same time, Zhong Shan walked slowly towards the south gate of Xuan City.
Zhong Cheng handled the people's lives well. Most of the people stayed at home. At most, they went to some hotels and tea houses. They didn't wander around the streets. As Zhong Shan walked down the street, the people in the shops and houses all looked at him with respect and admiration.
Not long ago, the Eight Great Masters were standing in their respective shops, leading the merchants and servants as they watched Zhong Shan walk towards the city gate tower with great respect.
"Mr. Zhong."
"Old Master Zhong."
… … …
… … … …
Everywhere Zhong Shan went, people greeted him respectfully. However, Zhong Shan only nodded slightly.
Xuan City's terrain was very strange. There was a moat outside the city. Inside the city, there seemed to be an inner city river. After walking past the inner city river, Zhong Shan stepped onto the city gate tower. The city guards seemed to be more energetic.
When Zhong Shan reached the top of the city gate tower, he stood on the balcony and looked at the army below.
When Inglan saw Zhong Shan coming, she immediately stood behind him with her sword.
"Zhong Shan, do you still remember me?" So Lien-hsien shouted at Zhong Shan on the city gate tower.
The others also saw that Zhong Shan had indeed come out of seclusion and was completely fine.
Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold. He looked at the Connate Experts and finally looked at So Lien-hsien.
"So Lien-hsien." Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"You still remember me? Zhong Shan, you have committed a heinous crime. You raised an army and guarded the city. You have destroyed the order of the Daegun Province. This time, we are here to destroy you, you traitor. What else do you have to say? "So Lien-hsien shouted.
So Lien-hsien's words were not for Zhong Shan, but for the army behind him. Although Zhong Shan was a businessman, his influence in Daegun Province was monstrous. He made a lot of money and used it for charity. At least one-fifth of the people in the country had more or less received help from Zhong Shan's businesses. In the army behind him, there must be some people whose relatives had received favors from Zhong Shan. In fact, there were people in the army who had received favors from Zhong Shan. Now, to deal with Zhong Shan, they naturally had to destroy his reputation.
He coldly looked at So Lien-hsien again.
"So Lien-hsien, you are the Retired Emperor of Daegun Province. In the past, when we had a drink at the Lanting Pavilion, you promised that as long as the Su family did not target me, Zhong Shan, I would be a citizen of Daegun Province. I would never rebel and would only be a businessman. However, I did not expect you to break your promise and bring an army of eight hundred thousand to kill me. "Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
So Lien-hsien was stunned by Zhong Shan's words. Indeed, Zhong Shan had once said that to him. He was the one who broke the promise first, but what could he do?
"If you want to target me, you can target me. You actually sent assassins to assassinate my adopted son. How dare you!" Zhong Shan shouted.
You've got guts!
Almost everyone was stunned. "How dare you!" Why did it sound like Zhong Shan was the high and mighty emperor, and So Lien-hsien was the traitor who wanted to usurp the throne?
