dandy city lord

Chapter 176 Insidious Trap!

Yang Hu took Qing Kui and the others for a walk around, feeling life.

The Tang family was in a mess.

The three cities were ransacked in one day, and all traces were washed away by the heavy rain. Except for the three empty cities, there was nothing left.

In front of the gate of Qishui City, Tang Zhongqiang, who led the troops to investigate Qingkui, was full of anger.

Tang Zhongqiang is the deputy city lord of Liushang, the black iron city, and he is also the immediate boss in charge of Qishui, Wuji, and Nakeluosancheng.

The communication between the three cities here was cut off four days ago. They thought it was blocked by heavy rain and mountain torrents, but Tang Zhongqiang only received the news from the ranger patrol on the fifth day.

All the soldiers and civilians in the three cities were gone, leaving only three empty cities.

Hearing this news, Tang Zhongqiang couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly mobilized his troops and spent two days rushing to the three cities of Qishui with the fastest speed.

As a result, the scene in front of him made him both angry and worried.

Liushang City is the Tang family's most remote black iron city in the south, but it has just been promoted to the black iron city for a few years, and there are less than ten bronze city vassals under its command.

It can only be regarded as an eye placed by the Tang family here.

But now this eye was stabbed with a knife, making it difficult for Tang Zhongqiang to open his eyes. He knew that this matter was troublesome.

The enemy who has the ability to loot three cities and disappear without a trace in such a short period of time is no small matter. This matter may not matter to the Tang family, but to himself who is in charge of the three cities, it is a disaster!
If you can't handle this matter well, your own head will be hard to protect.

But I can't handle this matter myself, and the city lord, I have to inform the city lord of the situation here as soon as possible.Various thoughts surged through Tang Zhongqiang's mind, making him tremble slightly.

Twitching the reins, Tang Zhongqiang steered his horse back to Liushang: "Rush back to Liushang at full speed."

……

"Tang Zhongqiang, what are you doing for food? Don't you know that the three cities have been emptied? Are you the deputy city lord of the ****?"

Tang Jinli was so angry that he grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Tang Zhongqiang who was sitting down. Tang Zhongqiang didn't dare to dodge, he could only endure the pain when he was hit by the inkstone.

Tang Jinli was so angry that he almost jumped up, smashing the inkstone on the table and still feeling full of anger.

This is simply a big deal that broke him!
It has been 11 years since he was transferred from the Tang family's base camp to this place that doesn't shit. In the past few years, he feels more and more that the gap between himself and his brothers in the family is too great.

As a result, the financial resources continuously exploited from the ten cities under his command were used not only for part of Liushang's military strength and the development of the city, but also for dredging the relationship between the family uncles.

He just wanted to transfer back to the hinterland of the Tang family through this relationship.

Liushang is just a remote black iron city of the Tang family, and the benefits that can be earned from the bronze city under his command are negligible, and he has to deal with the Lu family next to him, all this makes him tired.

Think about those brothers who are the same age as me in the clan, that one is not sitting in a black iron city, eating delicious food, having fun and staying comfortably in the core area of ​​the Tang family, no one is thankless outside like me.

Therefore, Tang Jinli has been searching these ten poor cities for these years, just to clear up the relationship between the family uncles, hoping to change their positions.

With so many people in the Tang family, why should they come here to be cannon fodder?
Now that Tang Jinli has almost dredged up the relationship with the higher-ups, he just waited to push the prosperity of the city and he would be transferred back to the Tang family smoothly, but now such a terrible thing happened to him at this critical juncture.

Can he not be irritable, can he not be annoying!

Seeing Tang Zhongqiang's cowardly expression, Tang Jinli slowly calmed down. People in their forties, even if they don't have any real skills, they are still much better than young people if they control their minds.

Sitting down again, Tang Jinli began to calculate how to deal with this matter in his mind.

He asked Tang Zhongqiang: "The three bronze cities are just the people who have been evacuated. Have you checked carefully?"

Seeing that Tang Jinli regained his composure, Tang Zhongqiang's high-hanging mood also stabilized, and he hurriedly replied: "My lord, my subordinates have thoroughly searched the city and villages, and found no sign of anyone."

Tang Jinli frowned, tapped on the table lightly and murmured: "What is their purpose? After conquering the city, they don't want it? They just take away some people. What's the use of having more people?"

His words seemed to wake Tang Zhongqiang up.

A thought flashed through Tang Zhongqiang's mind, and this guy blurted out without thinking: "The Lu family, it must be the girl from the Lu family. Didn't the young master a few days ago..."

The words in his mouth stopped in Tang Jinli's sharp eyes.

Seeing the murderous intent flashing in Tang Jinli's eyes, Tang Zhongqiang felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly knelt down to Tang Jinli and said in a steady voice, "City Lord. Those girls from the Lu family never take our Tang family seriously. This time they built a sky mirror for the Lu family. The city is at a time when manpower is insufficient."

"If you get up, then it will fall. The matter in the three cities of Wuji can't be covered by fire. There will definitely be someone from the family to inspect it. If you can take this opportunity to encourage the elders of the family to send troops to the Lu family, then the things in the three cities will be serious." Small, and the merits of you, the city lord, let alone being transferred to the hinterland of the family, it is very possible to enter the elder hall!"

As Tang Zhongqiang spoke, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Tang Jinli's face, and said the last sentence: "If the Tianjing City of the Lu family is built, it will cut off the safest route for us and our family."

Tang Zhongqiang started talking just to downplay Tang Jinli's murderous intentions, and said indiscriminately, but these things all happened near Liushang City. After he said this, many things suddenly became clear, and they were disguised as a string.

At the same time, it also strengthened Tang Jinli's sense of crisis.

A needle stuck in the heart of Tang Jinli, who was already suspicious.

Tang Jinli frowned and thought for a while, then said lightly: "It is absolutely impossible to enter the elder hall in the family without some military exploits. Get up and talk."

Tang Zhongqiang knew that his crisis was over, so he hurriedly got up and went forward, and the thoughts that kept turning in his mind poured out: "The little girl of the Lu family, with the backing of her Lu family, never let the city lord and the young master go." In my eyes. The young master's rash actions a few days ago must have angered her, and this time's revenge will not end so soon. "

Hearing Tang Zhongqiang mention this matter again, Tang Jinli's face darkened: "Get to the point."

Tang Zhongqiang lowered his voice: "Even if we don't know who did it, we can push all these things to the Lu family."

"There is still half a month for the guardians at home to patrol the city, and it will be our Liushang. As long as we are ready and spread the bullying of the Lu family through word of mouth from the guardians at home, it will be inevitable for us to fight the Lu family. will pass it home."

Tang Zhongqiang said with a chuckle: "Even if Liu Shang's status in the family is not important, they will not be able to face it. Let us have a black iron city to deal with the Lu family's silver city."

"When the time comes, the city lord's unyielding and bravery will definitely spread in the family..."
