Myths Begin From Boys' Gong

Chapter 527 Worry and Planning (for subscription)

The turbulent river is full of rolling waves. On the wide river, a huge ship sails on the river, riding the wind and waves, and the fish and shrimps under the water are scattered.

On the deck of the first floor, Meng Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the end of the ship's driving direction, where there was a huge city hidden in the mist, looming, and it was also the destination of his trip, Lingwu City.

"Since you got on the boat, you have been in a bad mood, with a gloomy face and no smile. What are you worried about?"

Behind him, Liang Muqiu walked slowly with a cup of brewed tea, Duanxiu's fair face was full of puzzlement.

In her opinion, Meng Zhao not only solved Yuhuashen's spying, but also negotiated with Qianjiao in Mozun Palace. He has a lot of masters under him, and he still has huge resources for him to squander. right.

On the deck of the first floor, the river wind was whistling and roaring, Meng Zhao helped Liang Muqiu to press down the fluttering dress, and said,
"I am planning ahead. Lingwu City is under the direct jurisdiction of the central imperial court. In terms of population, scope, and resources, it is even better than Ye City. Unfortunately, the bigger the city, the deeper the water in it.

Before coming here, I collected a lot of information about Lingwu City, and I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. "

In Lingwu City, there are roughly these major forces.

First, it is the city lord's mansion that represents the imperial court, and it is also the mansion of Yanping County. The mansion lord is the younger brother of the emperor Beitang Sheng, Beitang Ang. This gang, as minions, is the one who needs the most attention.

However, according to the collected information, Beitang Ang has a peaceful temperament, even a little weak, good temperament, proficient in poetry and prose, and indulges in pleasure. He doesn't care much about the management of Lingwu City. Now he is in charge. His eldest son is also the son of Prince Yanping, Beitanghe.

The second is the family alliance that has taken root in Lingwu City for more than a hundred years. It is composed of 27 families, the largest and most prominent. There are three families, the Ding family, the Xun family, and the Zhuo family. With a pivotal position and influence, it is the most unprovoked force.

The Aristocratic Family Alliance, also known as the Wushui Alliance by some forces in Lingwu City, is deeply rooted and difficult to shake.

The third is the branches of some big forces in Lingwu City. The more powerful ones include the Qianhuan Temple established by the disciples of the Landa Temple, the Xuanxin Temple established by the disciples of the Zhenwu Temple, and the Tianhuo Martial Arts Hall established by the disciples of the Huolongdong Temple. The Xindeng Martial Art Museum established here by the disciples of Mount Baitou, the sub-helm of the Lingxu Sect, etc., are all thirteen forces.

Because of the strong support behind it, although it is not as good as the local family alliance, it can be regarded as steady and steady.

Fourth, there are so many forces that have sprung up like mushrooms from all sides, ranging from small gangs and sects created by casual cultivators in the rivers and lakes, to large foundations created by a hegemon like the Meng family. Difficult to be constant.

Of course, these are all on the bright side, and in the dark, there are also various killer assassin organizations, evil heretics, bandits, bandits, green heroes and so on.

The foundation of Lingwu City that Meng Zhao accepted seems to be very good, but if it is implemented in the entire Lingwu City, I am afraid that it will not even be able to reach the second-rate forces, and it will probably hover around the third-rate force.

If Meng Zhao wants to achieve his goal and create a hegemony, he must at least be on an equal footing with the forces created by the disciples of the thirteen families. Wucheng is similar.

However, this difficulty is really too great.

Even if Meng Zhao himself has become a master of martial arts, and Xiaojiao and Xiaojiu are fully mature, it is still difficult to achieve this.

Martial arts is strong, of course it is a kind of capital, a kind of confidence, but everything can never be solved by fighting and killing. The family alliance is strong because it penetrates into every level and corner of Lingwu City. It can be said to moisten things silently .

And the 27 families advance and retreat together, even if it is the Dayong court and the city lord's mansion, if they want to manage Lingwu city clearly, they must rely heavily on them, which makes the relationship between the family alliance and Lingwu city more and more difficult to separate .

Therefore, Meng Zhao didn't intend to engage in the single-husband thing at the beginning, killing all the people in the city who refused to obey him, not to mention whether he had such strength, such an idea would put him in a situation where he was under the enemy's back. It was difficult.

On the contrary, what he wants to do is to integrate into the 27 families, even replace one of them, and become a member of the new family alliance. Only in this way can the situation be completely opened up, and it is not impossible to fight for hegemony in Lingwu City in the future.

Unfortunately, even this idea is not easily realized.

As a member of the family alliance, no matter how weak the family is, it is protected by other families. This rule has lasted for hundreds of years and is regarded as the iron law of the family alliance.

Looking at it over the years, the family alliance has changed from the original 22 to the current 27. There are five more, but there is still one family. It can be seen that it is tricky.

It's purely like pulling a hair and moving the whole body. Without a perfect plan, Meng Zhao will not act rashly.

And it was precisely because of this that Meng Zhao was worried.

However, he has no better way. He can only send people to collect information on these 27 companies after entering the city, hoping to find a breakthrough.

While the two were talking, they saw Han Lu and Zhu'er, who were like sisters with their arms crossed, approaching.

Han Lu has a pretty face like a flower, wearing a pink dress with a little powder applied to make her more attractive, while Zhu'er also changed into a light yellow pleated skirt, wearing a pearl hairpin, she looks a bit like a noble lady.

Seeing Meng Zhao and Liang Muqiu whispering on the deck, Zhu'er was a little curious and sad, and said,
"Meng Zhao, Sister Mu, what are you talking about? Are you coming to Lingwu City soon?"

Meng Zhao nodded, pointing to the looming buildings in the distance,
"That's Lingwu City. If there are no accidents, you will live here in the next few years. You have to be mentally prepared."

Zhu'er curled her lips and said nothing, except for Tan Cai'er, she has no worries, no matter where she is.

Although I really want to live with Meng Zhao, as long as the young lady calls, she will definitely leave, I only hope that this time will be later.

Han Lu looked a little regretful.

Because she came to Lingwu City this time, her mother and elder brother stayed in Nan'an County, and were taken care of by the old housekeeper Lu Zhong.

Of course, it doesn't mean that she is not filial, nor does it mean that Meng Zhao despises her mother and elder brother as burdensome.

It is because the two of them are not in good health, and it is difficult for them to travel and work hard for a long time. Therefore, after the discussion, Han Pu decided to temporarily leave the two of them in Nan'an. Anyway, Lu Zhong will take care of them, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, so they will live well. .

If you have time in the future, you can still go back and visit.

However, compared to Han Pu's decisiveness, Han Lu obviously has the delicate thoughts of her daughter's family, and her mood was once very depressed.

Meng Zhaozi also knew this, and then comforted Han Lu,
"We will dock at Pier No. [-] in Westport later, and Han Pu should already be waiting there."

Hearing Han Pu, a smile appeared on Han Lu's face. After all, there were relatives by her side, which relieved her a lot of anxiety and uneasiness.
