I'm not a pet

Chapter 231 The Dormant Beast

Seeing Yin Ruoyu smiling like a flower not far away and greeting the guests who came to give gifts, Xiaozhu muttered in Lu Yunchu's arms: "Look at her like that, it seems that you didn't take the fact that you made things difficult for her twice at noon to mind at all." !"

Although Lu Yunchu's heart was moved when he heard what she said, he still closed his mouth wisely.Experience told him that once he opened his mouth to talk to her about the senior sister, there would be conflicts between them.

Just as he was hesitating how to break the topic with Xiaozhu, the conversation between Venerable Perak and two people celebrating his birthday caught his attention.

"Luohua City is the most affluent place in the Marfa Continent. The congratulatory gifts from the city owner must be generous. Can the owner let me have a glimpse and feast my eyes?"

The speaker was in his early fifties, tall and thick, with a thick beard on his dark and rough face, and a sharp, greedy and cruel taste in his eagle nose and eagle eyes.

Beside him, a middle-aged man who was as short as him and almost as tall as his age, was hunched over and nodding in agreement: "Yes, yes, let me open my eyes."

Hearing someone mention Luohuacheng, Xiaozhu couldn't help turning his attention to it. Seeing the two unfamiliar faces, he asked Lu Yunchu softly, "Who are those two people?"

"The tall one is Hu Tuo, the lord of the heavy city of Mengmeng, and Guo Lin, the lord of the city of Tucheng, is next to him." Lu Yunchu lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The heavy city of Mengmeng is adjacent to the city of Tucheng, but the city of Zhongmeng is stronger than the city of Tucheng. , A few years ago, Tucheng was taken into his pocket. Although Guo Lin is the lord of the city, he is only in name only, and all materials and income of Tucheng are under the control and domination of Hu Tuo."

When he said this, Little Pig remembered the distribution of the Mafa Continent map in the game.

The most northwestern part of the mainland is an endless desert that occupies almost a quarter of the entire map. The oasis city is next to the desert, and Tucheng is a small city between the oasis city and Mengzhong city.

According to Lu Yunchu, Hu Tuo of Mengzhong City has occupied Tucheng in recent years?Seeing that Hu Tuo is greedy and cruel, he looks like a typical invader...

If this is the case, wouldn't the newly rising and wealthy Oasis City without a city owner be a piece of fat in Hu Tuo's eyes?
Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard Venerable Perak laughing and said: "The Lord Hua asked someone to bring a letter earlier, and he has been busy with business recently, so he cannot attend the next birthday banquet this time."

The Lord of Luohua City will eventually attend his birthday banquet in the future, which already made Venerable Perak unhappy.

Although he said earlier that he would sincerely invite guests from all over the world for his [-]th birthday, those who actually sent invitations were only a few city lords and famous sect leaders, and Luohua City was one of them. one.

Among the guests this time, more than half were from Gingko Villa who came to celebrate his birthday without taking the initiative to invite them. Thinking about the city lords and those small sects from all over the world, which one is not licking their cheeks to curry favor with Ginkgo Villa?

For the city lord of Luohua City, even though he asked his disciple to personally send the invitation, he never invited him to attend the birthday banquet.

"Since I have entrusted someone to deliver the letter, although the person did not come, the congratulatory gift must have been sent to the villa, right?" Hu Tuo asked urgently.

Mengzhong City is located in the northwest region of the Marfa Continent, where the land is barren and materials are scarce.As early as Hu Tuo took over Mengzhong City, he has been committed to expanding his sphere of influence.

Ten years ago, he took down Tucheng with little effort. Who would have thought that Tucheng was a poorer place. After occupying Tucheng, although his control area was wider, the burden seemed to be heavier than before the occupation. It's a little heavier.

As a result, he set his sights on the increasingly prosperous Oasis City.Of course, his ambition is more than that, his ultimate goal is the most extensive desert area in the Marfa continent.

Although the desert looked desolate and barren, he believed that there were treasures in the desert.

As long as he wins Oasis City, he will not only be able to control the merchants who do business in it, and enjoy various taxes from it, but most importantly, he will be able to serve as the lord of the three cities (Mengzhong, Tucheng and Oasis City) from now on. People from all walks of life are prohibited from entering the desert to hunt for treasure, and so on, the treasure in the desert will be in his pocket sooner or later.

However, if you want to occupy the Oasis City, which is not adjacent to it, under the bright banner, you are always afraid of causing public anger in the Mafa Continent. Guo Lin, the owner of the Tucheng City, is a mud that cannot support the wall. There is external help for him.

Two years after conquering Tucheng, that is, eight years ago, he came up with a clever plan to let dozens of his men pretend to be sand bandits and invade Oasis City, looting and looting [-]% of the shops in the city. The heavy loss of property caused people to panic. Half of the businesses went bankrupt due to the heavy losses. More than [-]% of the businesses wanted to sell them at a low price as soon as possible to escape from Oasis City.

Seeing that his strategy is about to take effect, he will soon be able to buy or annex important shops in the city at a low price as the new owner, so as to achieve the goal of monopolizing its economy first and then ruling its people.

However, one morning when he was about to succeed, when he woke up in Mengzhong City Lord's Mansion, he found that the pillow with the 50 currency note hidden in him had disappeared and was replaced by two hard square stones. piece.Not only that, when he inspected the City Lord's Mansion, he found that all the valuables in the mansion had been looted...

There were no casualties in the mansion, but when everyone was asked, they didn't know what happened at night.

Hu Tuo himself is a practitioner of martial arts, and there are many powerful servants and guards in the mansion, but this man was able to ransack his city lord's mansion without anyone noticing, the depth of his mana is really creepy ...

Later, he finally found a note under the two stones he was sleeping on, to the effect that he should stop thinking about harming Oasis City in the future. It's his head!

This note made his scalp numb and covered in cold sweat. He knew that this person was definitely not joking, and that it was so... so convenient for this person to want to take his head...

On the second day, a mysterious person suddenly appeared in Oasis City, generously donating huge sums of money to various merchants in the city regardless of return, to help the merchants revive and fight again.

With the help of the mysterious person, the frustrated Oasis City quickly restored its former prosperity.

Since then, Hu Tuo never dared to extend his claws to Oasis City.

But not daring to stretch out his claws does not mean that he has lost such ambitions since then. He has been like a dormant beast, waiting for an opportunity to hit his prey with one blow.

Today, eight years later, he thinks his opportunity has finally arrived.

That was Venerable Perak's fiftieth birthday.
