reborn son

Chapter 1332
Zhen Guogong ran forward along the Huangquan River with his horse and whip, and the bandits followed closely, few of them cared about the two people in the distance.

And the two people who were driving fast in the distance also saw Zhen Guogong and his party. The eyes of the man who was carrying Feng Erniang flickered a few times before returning to calmness, and he did not catch up with Xun to ask a few words.

The two groups of people moved quickly in different directions, neither of them took the other seriously.

The purpose of Lord Zhen Guo's trip was not because he was curious, nor because he wanted to go up for an adventure, but simply from a military point of view, he wanted to find the best front.

In the future, when wars will be fought on the Eastern Continent, where the battlefield will be, where the army will be stationed, and where to retreat in case of danger, these are all hovering in the mind of the general.

Thinking about defeat before fighting, the army is coming from afar, it is impossible to win every game, and it is impossible to fight smoothly all the way forward, all he has to think about is how to deal with defeat.

Li Dongyang would not have thought of these, because he had never thought of defeat. Dong Dalu must be taken down. Even if Li Dongyang's strength is not enough, someone will help him at that time.

Duke Zhen didn't know this. As a father, he had to do his best to help his son. He had to find several suitable places for the army to settle down.

These footholds have a characteristic, that is, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Lord Zhen Guo has a goal, that is, before the army marches to the Eastern Continent, he has to measure every piece of land in the Eastern Continent with his feet, and he must be familiar with every mountain and river in the Eastern Continent.

Everyone has their own goals, Mr. Zhen Guo is moving towards his own goals, and Zhang Hao is also moving towards his own goals.

After returning to Sifang City, Zhang Hao took a short rest. He did not rush to travel, but checked Sifang City again.

This place is an important chess piece that Wu has landed on the Eastern Continent, and it must be held in hand.

The objects of this investigation include refugees, including beggars. Zhang Hao knows very well how important the role of beggars is. Li Dongyang has an army of beggars in his hands.

It's just that Zhang Hao didn't dare to build an army of beggars in the Eastern Continent, because that would be too eye-catching.

In the Eastern Continent, many beggars are fake, and their role is to spy on the situation.

Maybe among these beggars there are eyeliners of various forces, no matter how bad it is, there is an organization that sells doors to buy information. It is really not easy to investigate the background of beggars.

"Why is father-in-law here?" Zhang Hao was so busy that his subordinates reported that Zhang Hao's father-in-law, the City Lord, had arrived.

The subordinates shook their heads, this is really unclear, the city lord made a sudden visit and did not get any information beforehand.

Putting away the materials, Zhang Hao got up and left the secret room, and came to the front hall.

The city lord was chatting with Zhang Hao's wife, Yan Ruo, and they didn't know what they were talking about. The father and daughter laughed happily.

"Father-in-law is here, and my son-in-law is here to welcome me. Forgive me." Before Zhang Haoren entered the room, his voice came in first.

"My son-in-law is being polite, but my father is only visiting on a temporary basis, so you don't have to be polite." The city lord stood up and laughed, he seemed very satisfied with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao hurriedly expressed his thanks, and the two parties sat down after being polite. During this period, Zhang Hao had been quietly observing the castellan's expression, as if observing whether the castellan's words were true or not.

Living in troubled times, Zhang Hao is used to being cautious. Only by being careful can he keep his fortune.

The city lord is not much different from before, but there seems to be sadness between his brows.

The two sides sat down and chatted for a long time, the city lord winked, Yan Ruo got up and said, "Father and Mr. Xiang talked about the past, and my daughter went to prepare lunch."

"Hehe, that's good, Madam Lao." Zhang Hao rushed to reply, and then said to the city lord: "I don't know if my father-in-law wants to order, Yan'er's cooking has improved again."

"Really? That's my father's good fortune today, and he is honored by his son-in-law, hahaha." Like many people, the city lord has a problem with starting or ending with haha.

Zhang Hao laughed with a bright smile, and Li Dongyang's evaluation flashed in his mind: he smiled like a fool.

Yan Ruo went down to prepare lunch, Zhang Hao and the city lord laughed at each other, the two pairs of two foolish people laughed falsely, and after a long time, the city lord continued to speak.

"My son-in-law, how do you feel about the Black Dragon Gang?" the city lord asked.

The Black Dragon Gang is the upper family of the city lord, and Sifang City belongs to the Black Dragon Gang's territory. The Black Dragon Gang is not a particularly big force, and there is a boss on it, so it only manages three cities.

Sifang City is the smallest of the three cities, and it used to be the weakest.

It's just that Zhang Hao joined Sifang City later, using his business talent and Li Dongyang's backing support, he developed Sifang City into the largest city of the Black Dragon Gang.

At this time, the city lord suddenly mentioned the Black Dragon Gang, which gave Zhang Hao an ominous premonition, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Why did my father-in-law suddenly ask, did something happen?"

Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, his slender peach eyes narrowed into a line, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

"Haha, it's nothing. It's just that the Black Dragon Gang is planning to expand recently, and they want to recruit a large number of disciples in the three cities. I'm thinking about whether you will also join the Black Dragon Gang."

When the city lord spoke, his right hand was fisted, his thumb was rubbing the knuckles of his index finger, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he did not look directly into Zhang Hao's eyes.

Zhang Hao observed carefully, and he didn't miss the small gesture of rubbing the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb. He had an intuition that something was wrong here, and his father-in-law might know something inside.

"Father-in-law, I'm just a businessman. I'm satisfied with doing business and earning a little money. I don't want to become bigger and stronger. I hope my father-in-law understands."

Zhang Hao chose his words carefully, and prepared to reject the proposal.

It is not clear what kind of power the Black Dragon Gang is at present. Those lackeys hide so deeply that they cannot easily be judged.

In case of joining a running dog's force and accidentally being recruited, there is no place to cry. Zhang Hao has to be careful when joining a party.

"Father-in-law knows that you don't have big ambitions, but you have to think about your son, you can't let him be a small businessman like you.

You also know that merchants are not of high status. They are fat sheep raised by others and may be slaughtered at any time. "

The city lord interrupted Zhang Hao's words, with a sincere expression on his face, and continued to persuade: "Besides, according to your current strength, if one day I am gone, can you keep your wealth?"

"Why did father-in-law say that? Did something serious happen?" Zhang Hao's face showed worry and panic, and there was even more worry in his eyes.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the Eastern Continent is going to be in chaos, and the forces of all parties may reshuffle. You have to think about the future." The city lord sighed and became more worried.

"East Continent is going to be in chaos, so it shouldn't affect us here. Besides, if there is a real chaos, is it possible to keep us with the strength of the Black Dragon Gang?"

Zhang Haoqu directed the topic, talking about all the forces in the Eastern Continent, not to mention the four major forces and the five major alliances, even the forces around Sifang City can suppress the Black Dragon Gang.
