“In fact, although Mister Luo is indeed the city lord of this Night Sky City, in reality …… is just more just responsible for the livelihood as well as the operation of the city.”
“In other words, you can understand that luo mou is actually nothing more than a puppet to govern this Night Sky City.”
“Today, the Night Sky City can flourish under the auspices of a lone person, likewise, in the future under the auspices of other people can also be the same, lone person is not unique and irreplaceable.”
Han Qianqian nodded and did not speak, choosing to continue listening.
Although Night Sky City was a hall of one word for Luo Jin, it was by no means a place of domination; here, he was the earth emperor, but it also always carried the word earth, not the true emperor.
“Night Sky City or any other city, in fact, if you want to survive in the land of the demons, how can you rely on your own strength alone?”
“A city, even if it is rich, can
The money spent on city defense construction is no matter how much, but, when it comes to the bottom there is always a ceiling.”
“But in this place of the demons, where the weak are strong and everyone is almost hugging each other, a city defence with such a ceiling may be able to withstand one, or even two, but can it remain undefeated for hundreds of years?”
Lone Chu also nodded, “Yes, if you want to be undefeated for hundreds of years in this process, unless it is some small remote city. Like we are not only not remote, but also so close to Burning Bone City, think about it, how many people would miss this place?”
Han Qianqian understood that a city in such a geographical location as Night Sky City would naturally be spied on by many people.
Therefore, the challenges that Night Sky City faced were bound to be extremely numerous as well.
It is said that there are no small officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and naturally, there are no small cities at the feet of the Son of Heaven either.
It is only natural that Night Sky City, a city that has managed to secure a foothold through trade and commerce, has a major power behind it.
Otherwise, how many times has the city changed hands, and how could it be so stable now?
Han Qianqian opened his mouth, “I would like to ask, is there a so-called dragon vein here, too?”
Han Qianqian’s openness was obviously something the two men had not expected, and their faces were visibly startled as they continued, “Mr. Han has destroyed the Heavenly Demon Fortress, so there are some things you cannot hide from me.”
“Not bad, legend has it that the entire primeval forest outside of Night Sky City is the Dragon Vein of Night Sky City. This is something that should have only been known as a secret by each of the city lords.”
“However, I can say it today, and I also believe that Mr. Han should understand what I mean.”
Surrender!
How could Han Qianqian not understand the meaning of this?!
“To be honest, although Night Sky City does need shelter, and under shelter to pay a certain
fees are also appropriate. But over the years, Night Sky City’s taxes have been increasing every year, which has strained Night Sky City’s finances.”
“The eight-year conference is actually not the first time that Night Sky City has held it, but the reason why this time is so grand is actually because of the deficit in the finances behind it.”
“Mister Lone had wanted to use this to bleed back, but as Mr Han can see, the taxes have more than tripled straight away, which could almost suck the blood out of Night Sky City.”
“The government forces the people to rebel, the people have to rebel, and it just so happens that Mr. Han is here, so I have discussed with Lord Lone Chu and decided to bet some treasure on you.” Luo Jin said in a soft and gentle voice.
“During these three days, if you need anything, as long as you can, we will not be stingy, but after three days, if you win, please remember our help today, but if you lose, please also keep this secret, forever, okay?”
Han Qianqian smiled gently, “Lord Luo’s calculations are very good, pleasing both sides and offending no one, always leaving a way out for himself.”
“Sir, this move is despicable, but it is also a desperate move.”
“Yes, I can accept your bets, but are you sure you will really do your best to help me during these three days?” Han Qianqian said.
He really didn’t have much of a choice, and right now was the best for himself at the moment.
“The situation of the primeval forest, the data of the dragon veins, and the approximate number of people behind the forces and everything else about the enemy, as well as the preparation of all other supplies.” Luo Jin said.
This was the greatest convenience they could give Han Qianqian.
Han Qianqian smiled gently, “Good, if you guys are really going to add on to me, then I do have one sole request, and if you can meet it, we’ll cooperate.”
