Chapter 1005 Twilight City (23)
"It turned out to be him." Shen Yanxiao sneered, this Geng Di was really wise, knowing that fighting alone might not be her opponent, so she rushed to get an ally.
"Xiao Xiao, you are very decisive in what you do today, but you must be careful, after all, this is on the territory of Twilight City, you must pay attention to everything." Although Long Fei admired Shen Yanxiao's actions, he was still worried about her. After all, she is still young, and although she is strong enough, her experience is not enough.
"Thank you, brother, for your reminder, but I'm curious about one thing. Since the Elder's Court of the Qizhong Kingdom has already been able to control the Twilight City, why did they hand over the position of city lord to Duan Hen? His father is dead, he is helpless, and he is young. It is not impossible for the Elderly House to directly capture the Twilight City." It is better to cultivate a puppet and control a city with one's own hands.
Long Fei hesitated for a moment before softly saying: "Actually, that was the original plan of the Elder's House. Back then, Duan Wuya was young and healthy, but suddenly died of illness. At that time, the Elder's House intended to hand over Twilight City to his subordinates. The ten-year-old Duan Hen somehow signed a contract with the divine beast Red Flame Beast. With the Red Flame Beast as his support, even the Elders' House would not dare to take the Twilight City easily. It's no different from being controlled by the Elder's House, Duan Hen has now been suspended."
"The people in this old people's home are too hateful, they even bully a child! How disrespectful!" Nangong Mengmeng, who had a strong sense of justice, immediately exploded.
"People's hearts are inherently complicated, and the barren land is a big piece of fat. Although the people who were sent to cultivate it for a while achieved success, they could not fully control the resources here. The world that they worked hard to conquer, but in the end they had to make wedding dresses for others. , if the background is not strong enough, I am afraid that these city lords in the barren land would have been replaced a long time ago." Shen Yanxiao chuckled, people's hearts are unpredictable, especially under the huge benefits, brothers can still turn against each other, and even more so. Let alone other people?
Shen Yanxiao spoke very calmly, but these words caused a series of waves when they fell into Long Fei's ears.
Those who reclaim the barren land are heroes, but the various city lords who bear huge interests have also become obstacles in the eyes of many people.
He sits in Blizzard City relying on the backing of the Blizzard Mercenary Group, Geng Di can gain a firm foothold in the Magic City because he has a father who is under one man and over ten thousand people, and Duan Wuya... Duan Wuya is just adopted by the elders' home An orphan born in China was thrown into a barren land. Although he conquered the world, he still couldn't protect himself in the end.
As for Shen Yanxiao...
Looking at Shen Yanxiao's smiling face, Long Fei felt that she was the most comfortable among the four major cities in the barren land. She had almost lost contact with the Longxuan Empire. All the resources in the barren land were controlled by her alone, and she herself His strength and the power behind him are not something ordinary people can shake.
Really enviable.
"That Duanhen... so pitiful." Nangong Mengmeng whispered.
As everyone knows, before she knew the truth, she still scolded a certain city lord bloody, but now that she knew the truth, she felt sorry for him.
"It's very pitiful. I saw that Duan Hen didn't dare to say a word beside Elder Wen. It's really... hey." Long Fei couldn't help but sigh, if he left one day, would Long Xueyao become the next Duan Hen?
