Chapter 171: Dispatching troops to rescue (Part 3)

The next day, early in the morning.

Yuhui City, the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

So early in the morning, according to the usual habit, there was no one in the lobby except the servants cleaning, and occasionally seeing Xu Liang, or the two deputy city lords.

It would definitely not be like today, except for the front-line officers commanding the battle, the rest of the officers and ministers and the two deputy city lords, Chen Yun and Shao Zhenghong, were all in the lobby.

The reason for this situation was that the city lord Xu Liang ordered a meeting, and this meeting was related to the life and death of Yuhui City, and the significance was very important.

At this time, the city lord Xu Liang had not yet appeared, and the officers and ministers were talking about it. I don't know what this major event that concerns the life and death of Yuhui City is.

Only Chen Yun sat upright, sipping the white water in the cup, looking at the many officers and ministers, sometimes looking at the other deputy city lord Shao Zhenghong, and sometimes looking at the main seat of the city lord.

"Ahem..." A few coughs immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xu Liang appeared in everyone's sight. He smiled and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

Others greeted him warmly: "Lord City Lord."

After being polite to each other, Xu Liang walked straight to the high seat of the city lord and sat down. His eyes, which had always been calm, were now sharp and sharp. Every person was refreshed.

The hazy sleepiness after getting up early disappeared at this moment, and everyone's mind was unusually clear.

Shao Zhenghong went to the Wasteland Military District for help the day before yesterday, but returned without success. When he saw Chen Yun return, Xu Liang held an emergency meeting and guessed in his heart that Luo Ren of the base might have encountered some problems. After completing this problem, he sent troops to help.

Of course, there is another guess, that is, Luo Ren of the base refused to ask for help, so Yuhui City has reached a moment of life and death.

"The zombies' attack on the city has made people restless and restless. In order to break the situation of the zombies besieging the city, I have discussed with you and asked for help from outside.

We have two targets for help. The first one is the Wasteland Military District. It is also our former boss. Based on the mentality of being a family, I hope Commander Liu of the Wasteland Military District can forgive the villain's mistakes and send troops to help. What a pity."

Xu Liang shook his head and sighed, and then said: "The Wasteland Military District has also suffered the zombie disaster like us. It is already too busy to take care of itself and can't spare time to help us."

As soon as these words came out, the officers below were in an uproar and immediately talked about it.

"Then what should we do?"

"Such a powerful kingdom army is trapped by zombies. How strong are these zombies? Are we just waiting to die?"

"Yes, what should we do?"

"If you ask me, just open the city gate and use all our resources to fight the zombies. It's still unknown who will win or lose before the end!"

"Yes, instead of hiding in the city and waiting for the ammunition and food to run out, it's better to ignore life and death and just do it!"

"Alas...you are excited and pessimistic. What are you doing? The Wasteland Military District is busy with its own affairs, but there is still a base, right? Can you listen to the Lord of the City before discussing it!"

"..."

Facing the uproar of the crowd, Xu Liang pressed his hand down, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Quiet!"

His tone was calm, but very majestic. As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of the crowd's discussion and quarreling stopped abruptly.

After a pause, Xu Liang looked at Chen Yun and winked at her.

Chen Yun received the look, nodded, and then stood up, facing the officers, and said loudly: "The Wasteland Military District is too busy to send troops to rescue us. It is an established fact and there is no need to discuss it too much.

However, the target I went to seek help, the base, is powerful and has been besieged by zombies, but it directly wiped out the besieging zombies with its powerful military force.

Moreover, the ruler of the base, Luo Ren, has agreed to send troops to rescue.

But..."

As soon as the word "but" fell, the rest of the words were interrupted by the cheers of the officers.

"Great!"

"I didn't expect that Luo Ren was so righteous!"

"Yes, I vaguely remember Luo Ren saying that the common enemies of mankind are zombies and evolved animals. Well... Very good, it really did it."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember that Luo Ren is indeed a character."

"..."

Chen Yun rolled her eyes helplessly at these officers. They really grabbed the words and rubbed them up. What's more, what's annoying is that she didn't wait for people to finish speaking. She winked at Xu Liang.

"Quiet." Xu Liang spoke, and the officers immediately quieted down. Xu Liang said, "Deputy City Lord Chen Yun hasn't finished her words yet. Wait until she finishes her words before you discuss them."

Everyone nodded in response, and then cast their eyes on Chen Yun, waiting for her next words.

Facing the eyes full of desire for knowledge, Chen Yun was helpless and said to herself, "I haven't even finished junior high school, and you all look at me like that. What's the matter? Do you think I'm a teacher?

Besides, this is not the Little Sunflower Mom Class. I don't plan to open a class. What's the matter?"

After complaining in her heart, Chen Yun's face showed a little unnatural. Fortunately, this was not the focus of the officers, so no one pulled a banner to protest that Deputy City Lord Chen's expression was wrong and discriminated against them.

After Chen Yun suppressed the mood of wanting to complain openly, she continued with what she had just said, "It's true that Luo Ren is willing to send troops to help, but this is conditional."

"What conditions?" someone asked.

Luo Ren's condition was too high. Chen Yun looked back at Xu Liang and saw Xu Liang nodded slightly. After getting the affirmation, Chen Yun had nothing to hesitate and said directly: "Luo Ren's condition is that our Yuhui City 'surrenders' to his base."

"What?!"

When this was said, everyone was shocked. Even Shao Zhenghong, the deputy city lord, looked at Xu Liang in shock.

"Submission, submission, the meaning is nothing more than to merge our Yuhui City into the base. How can this be possible?"

"You are wrong. It is not merger, but annexation. It means that from now on, there will be no Yuhui City, only the base."

"This Luo Ren is simply taking advantage of the fire!"

"That's right, this bastard Luo Ren is totally taking advantage of the fire!"

"..."

Amidst the abuse and abuse, there was almost no voice of agreement. Shao Zhenghong opened his mouth, not knowing what to ask or say.

Xu Liang shook his head slightly at him, rejecting his question in advance, and then looked at the people who were discussing, his eyes fixed.

Bang!

The sound of slapping the table spread throughout the hall in an instant, startling everyone. Everyone looked up at the high platform, only to see that the calmness on Xu Liang's face disappeared, replaced by anger.

Looking down, I saw that the table had cracked in the middle, obviously cracked by Xu Liang's palm.

At this moment, everyone faced the city lord, lowered their heads slightly, and dared not say a word.

"Okay." Xu Liang stood up and looked around. The anger on his face had disappeared. He said calmly: "I was also surprised when I first heard Luo Ren's conditions last night. I thought Luo Ren was asking for too much. However, after a night, I thought it through. At present, our only lifeline is the base. If we can't catch it, we will die. Of course, you can also choose to escape, but it is best to escape one by one, so as not to attract the attention of zombies." "But if we agree to Luo Ren's conditions, won't our Yuhui City cease to exist?" Shao Zhenghong's face was full of bitterness. He understood what Xu Liang said, but why was he so unwilling in his heart? "Zhenghong, if the zombies break through the city, Sanctuary City No. 3 will no longer exist. And if we agree to Luo Ren's conditions, at least we can still live, right?

There are more than 100,000 people in the city, so they can all live. You should know how to weigh the pros and cons."

"I know, I know..." Shao Zhenghong nodded continuously. After a moment, he forced a smile on his face, which was even uglier than crying. He glanced at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Xu Liang, saying, "In that case." Shao Zhenghong gritted his teeth and said, "I agree."

Xu Liang showed a satisfied look, and then looked at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun thought for a moment, and said with a firm expression on his face, "I agree too."

Xu Liang then looked at the officers.

The officers looked at each other and hesitated for a long time. Finally, someone raised his arm and said, "Since the three city lords have agreed, I agree too."

"Weighing the pros and cons, agreeing to the request is indeed the best choice, and I agree."

"I agree too."

"Me too, I agree!"

"..."

The officers expressed their opinions one after another. Most of them agreed, and a few were hesitant, but the minority obeyed the majority. Whether they agreed or not had no effect on the final decision.

"Okay, in this case, then I will announce it." Xu Liang stood up, faced everyone, cleared his throat, and announced loudly: "Yuhui City agrees to the base's request to send troops!"

The meeting ended, and everyone else left. Xu Liang left Shao Zhenghong and Chen Yun alone.

Xu Liang looked at Chen Yun and asked, "Chen Yun, I remember you said that Luo Ren was afraid that we would abandon him, and we need to find a way to make him trust us?"

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

"Well, Yuhui City is dozens of kilometers away from the base, and we were hostile to him before. What can we do to make Luo Ren trust us?" Shao Zhenghong spread his hands and asked.

"I have thought of a way to make Luo Ren trust me." Xu Liang said slowly.

"What is the way?" Chen Yun and Shao Zhenghong asked in unison.

"The reason why Luo Ren is afraid of abandoning us is nothing more than not trusting us, or not trusting me, right?" Xu Liang asked back.

"That's right." Shao Zhenghong nodded, and then asked: "Then how can I make Luo Ren trust you?"

Xu Liang smiled lightly, shook his head, and said: "I don't need him to trust me, I just want him to know that I won't kill the donkey after it has done its work.

The method is very simple, this time you will write back to me, and you can temporarily manage the city lord's affairs."

"You want to go to the base as a hostage?" Shao Zhenghong was a little surprised, but soon calmed down and said calmly: "At this point, this is the only way."

Xu Liang stood up, walked out of the lobby of the city lord's mansion, and stood with his hands behind his back.

Chen Yun and Shao Zhenghong followed closely behind him. Shao Zhenghong looked at Xu Liang's back, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a curve, but it disappeared in an instant.

Xu Liang took a deep breath of the morning air, stretched, and said: "Okay, I will set off immediately after the next zombie attack."
