Chapter 5097 The Core Strength

"Yes!" Yu Qinglan cupped her fists and bowed deeply, then left with Ye Wudao.

They left the city lord's palace and went straight to the city defense in the west.

To the west of the city, there are several vast side camps with war flags and countless men and horses arranged in dozens of large square formations. There are flying beasts and iron horses. Their auras are very powerful, and the evil energy on their bodies is also extremely heavy. .

On the carriage, Yu Qinglan saw that Ye Wudao's mind had sensed these existences, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Yu Qinglan said: "The city defense in the west of the city is a very powerful team of cultivators, with a total of more than 2,500 people and horses, including more than ten high-level cultivators, all of whom exceed the Sixth Level of the Emperor."

"With such city defense to help me, my chances of ascending to the position of city lord will be much higher. But I didn't expect that my father would actually hand it over to me. I really can't figure it out. Can Master Ye give me an answer?"

Ye Wudao smiled and nodded: "Of course, I think the city lord must take care of his family affairs before leaving the city lord's mansion. He is very pressed for time. I don't think he can stay for too long, so I will leave this guard to you. ”

Yu Qinglan was slightly curious: "Time is tight, so we must decide the winner as soon as possible for the three of us?"

"Yes, you are weak. If you are not given this city defense, you have no chance." Ye Wudao said: "But, after all, it is a city defense and cannot be dispatched like your own personal guards, so it is also a bit troublesome."

Yu Qinglan nodded and looked at the scenery outside the window, slightly absent-minded. After a while, she slowly asked: "Master Ye, what do we think we should do next?"

Ye Wudao thought for a moment and said: "We are going to take action, and it is also aimed at your second brother, and we must win over your eldest brother. Your eldest brother may not be too confident about you, but he will definitely cooperate with you, at least on the surface, no I will do the right thing with you.”

Yu Qinglan laughed: "Young Master Ye doesn't know my eldest brother, how can you guess his thoughts?"

Ye Wudao couldn't help but smile: "Maybe it's intuition. I believe he is a smart person and would make such a decision at this time."

"Our first plan is to make your second brother obediently withdraw from the fight for the throne, so we must find his flaws."

Yu Qinglan nodded: "I would like to hear the details."

Ye Wudao said: "Lin Wu's line has been opened. Whether he really loves you or not, at least he seems to be on your side now. We must rely on his power and the power of city defense. "

Yu Qinglan looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a while, a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Do you think we should let Lin Wu cooperate with us? The falsification of the account books must have been done by my second brother. The Lin family is mainly engaged in running shops in the city, and there are more shops than my Yu family."

Ye Wudao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Where does the main income of the City Lord's Mansion come from?"

"There are many forces under my city lord's residence, some black and white, including spiritual veins, spiritual mines, and some hunting teams. Most of the people you see guiding the cultivators in the city and recommending them are us. people.”

Yu Qinglan explained: "Moreover, all shops in the city, whether they are managed by us or not, must turn over resources to us every year, and we provide them with protection. This is the bulk of the income."

Ye Wudao asked: "If you can manage the income turned over every year, wouldn't that be equivalent to being a city lord?"

He knew without even thinking that the city lord must be managing this part.

"Yes, my eldest and second brothers and I are actually only in charge of a small part of the Yu family's industry. The real industry, the main core, is still in the hands of my father, but now he has the idea of ​​letting it go."

"The defense of the city in the west is one of the core strengths of our Yu family."
