Shen Wansan and Zhu Wu were led by the advisor to the back hall of the magistrate's yamen.
This was the residence of the magistrate. Since the two of them could come here, it was obvious that the magistrate did not treat them as outsiders.
This magistrate was called Cheng Yi, a native of Haining, Zhejiang Province. He came to Jinling five years ago and became Shen Wansan's good brother in less than a month due to his money.
Then, Shen Wansan introduced Zhu Wu to him.
Zhu Wu was even more generous. He had all the expensive glassware in his Banxian Hall, and Prefect Cheng had all of them in his room.
After all these years, Shen Wansan and Zhu Wu had long been 'taken in as confidantes' by Cheng Yi, the kind that had entered the family.
"How come you two have the time to visit me today?”Cheng Yi happily invited the two of them to take a seat. His gaze sized them up, curious about what new gifts these two had for him today.。
However, the strange thing was that the two of them were a little different today. They stood motionless and did not offer gifts like before. Then, they sat down and interacted intimately.
He was slightly annoyed and thought to himself, Have I been too good to them all these years, making them forget their status and treat themselves as my equal friends? It was time to teach him a lesson.
Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Wu suddenly took a step forward and approached him.
Zhu Wu was tall and had grown to about 1.9 meters. However, this was probably the limit of his height. After that, no matter how much he absorbed the heat flow, his height did not increase.
As he approached, Cheng Yi instantly felt a wave of pressure." Brother Zhu, w-what are you doing?"”
The thought of beating him up had already disappeared. He only saw Zhu Wu's pair of bright eyes staring at him. The psychological pressure soared, and he started to stutter.
In the past, when Zhu Wu interacted with him, he would deliberately restrain his aura. Today, he did not hide it at all, allowing the magistrate to tremble under his pressure like a quail.
"Cheng Yi, I came to you today for one thing. I want to rebel. I want Jinling City.”
Although this magistrate was useless, he still had the authority to mobilize the 3,000 city guards.
The city guards were made up of Han people, and their combat strength was not good, so Yexian and Hague did not take over the command.
Under Zhu Wu's manipulation, Guo Xing and Guo Ying had also infiltrated the city guards, and they were neither too senior nor too junior officers.
Other than the two brothers, Zhu Wu had also arranged for others to infiltrate the city guards. They had already infiltrated them like a sieve.
As long as he could get Cheng Yi's warrant and instigate his own people, he could take over these 3,000 soldiers peacefully.
After all, they were all Han Chinese, so it would be best if they didn't kill them.
"You, what did you say? Brother, stop joking.”Cheng Yi trembled even more violently, his head and face covered in cold sweat.
"I'm not joking, my good big brother. Write a surrender letter and a warrant to order the city guards to surrender. If that's the case, you're still my good big brother. Otherwise-"
Zhu Wu pulled out the short knife from his sleeve.
Thud!
The advisor, who was standing at the side without any sense of existence, added some scenes to himself and fainted.
Shen Wansan looked at his advisor with a smile. He thought that pretending to be unconscious was a good move. If the magistrate did not agree, he would not know anything…
Haha!
What a sly fox!
"I, you, you, you-"
Cheng Yi stuttered." You " became " you " in the end because Zhu Wu's knife was already approaching his chest.
"Alright, I agree. I don't want to serve the Baoyuan Imperial Court anymore. I, Cheng Yi, want to revolt with you!”
It was unknown if a string in his heart had snapped, but Cheng Yi's temperament suddenly changed. Perhaps he had been forced too much, and things would turn against each other when they reached an extreme.
This reversal stunned even Zhu Wu.
Shen Wansan broke out in cold sweat. They were all thousand-year-old foxes!
Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Wu and Shen Wansan walked out of the magistrate's office. Cheng Yi and his advisor followed behind them dejectedly.
In the night.
Outside the city, in the Jiangnan camp.
Hague, who couldn't fall asleep, got up and went to the military tent. He looked at Jin Ling City not far away.
This majestic city appeared extremely majestic in the night. The huge black shadow was like a huge beast lying on the ground.
A city gate quietly opened, and troops of soldiers filed out.
On the city gate tower, Shen Wansan was extremely shocked. He really couldn't understand how his brother-in-law managed to hide these 3,000 elite soldiers in Jin Ling City.
If it weren't for the pressure of these three thousand soldiers, the process of accepting the city guards might not have been so smooth.
However, if his brother-in-law left with the soldiers, wasn't he afraid that Cheng Yi and the city guards would retaliate?
Wasn't he being too arrogant?
If the situation changed, not only would his brother-in-law be in trouble, but his sisters would also have to pay with their lives.
Shen Wansan was even more confused when he recalled the reassuring look his brother-in-law gave him before he left the city.
Could it be that this brother-in-law still had a backup plan?
He thought about it and felt that Zhu Wu was not a reckless person, nor was he a heartless person who did not care about his wife and family.
Now that things had come to this, she could only trust him.
"Mr. Shen, please rest assured. My brother has never done anything stupid.”Guo Xing's voice came from behind.
Before Zhu Wu left the city, he had Guo Xing lead the city guards to guard the city.
Was Zhu Wu confident that nothing would happen to the city?
There was!
Why?
Because of the system!
The moment he took down the city guard, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
Beep beep beep, detected that the host has a city that can be set as a base. Do you want to set a base? Yes/No.
He had spent so much time and effort to get Jin Ling City, just to preserve it as well as possible, so that it could be his future capital.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to wait for Guo Zixing to raise his troops and would have been able to take down this city long ago.
He directly clicked "Yes".
Beep beep beep, the host has set Jin Ling City as the base city.
The base was set up and could not be moved.
The Affection Points of the civilians, officials, and soldiers in the base have increased to loyalty. After leaving the base, they will return to normal.
Maximize the yield of farmland within the base area (including 1,000 meters outside the city).
The series of system notifications made Zhu Wu extremely happy.
(Brothers, flowers, collections, and gifts. Thank you very much!)）
