Forced to be the Lord of the Underworld
Chapter 54
The head of the council hall of the Earl's Mansion, Sekensi, listened to his subordinate's report and narrowed his eyes.
"Military Master, do you think Zuo Si really looks like what he showed?"
He made trouble when he first came to the county. Does it mean that he is ignorant and fearless, or that he doesn't take this earl seriously?
On the lower head of Sekenxi sat a skeleton in a gray robe, the whole body was covered by the robe, it was very mysterious, and its rank could not be seen.
Hearing Sekensi's question, it raised its head slowly, and the brim of the hat slid back, revealing its face.
One-third of its head has been cut off, and only one eye is left. It looks more terrifying than ordinary skeletons.
The skull is black, it's just a black skull, what ability can you be a military adviser of a county?
The position of a military adviser is below one person and more than ten thousand people. The person in power goes out to fight, and the military adviser is the regent, and all matters big and small in the whole country must be approved by him.
If it was just a black bone, not to mention the three yellow bone generals in the county, even the ordinary skeletons below would not accept it.
However, it sits in the position of the army division of the county, which shows that its ability is not ordinary.
Before Zuo Si came, I heard from Amon that this military division was named An Ding. It had a strange name, a black bone on the surface, and its actual strength was unknown, but everyone felt that it was hiding its strength, including Amon.
Amon is well aware of the upward forces in Minghai County, not only can tell the characters, levels, and weapons used by these rulers, but even the military advisers and generals under them can tell very clearly, just like a This encyclopedia.
When Amon told him about Sekkensi and its generals in detail, he focused on the military division.
Zuo Si didn't know that Sekenxi and his military advisers were talking about him in the earl's mansion, but he could think of it, after all, he had just made a big fuss at the post station, and as an earl, it was strange that he couldn't receive any news.
An Ding said directly: "It doesn't matter whether the lord of Kenda City is real or just pretending. If the Earl doesn't believe it, just kill him."
Sekenxi shook his head: "A blue bone, it doesn't matter if you kill it, but that idiot Myerson, as the most powerful city-state in the county, can't even compare to the war-torn Kenda City."
"Seven big city-states, two weak ones. If Rhodes County sends its subordinate city-states to invade, under mutual restraint, the county-state cannot take action. If the city-state battle loses, the county-state will become a turtle in the urn. Hou Guo has been weak all year round. Don't care about us, when the time comes, how do you think the county should deal with itself?"
Speaking of his own country, Sekenxi's tone was full of disdain, and he probably wanted to replace it a long time ago.
The Marquis of Suming is notoriously weak, ranging from the extravagant Marquis to the commoners who eat and wait to die, with no ambition to make progress, but the Marquis is the son of the Duke, and a mere yellow bone can be its Marquis with peace of mind. Naturally, it depends on this background.
It's not that Sekenxi thinks that Zuo Si can't be killed, but that Kenda City has been through war for a long time and needs to cultivate and rest. Zuo Si broke through the city with his own strength, and didn't let his skeletons persecute the civilians. No matter who is sent to replace him His position is not easy to do.
An Ding bowed his head and pondered for a while and said, "Zuo Si is not that important."
"But what the earl said is right. The dark guards received the news that Rhodes County was busy rebuilding Dakai City, but Nala County made a change. The two cities under his command are punishing the undead army. I don't know if they are attacking us or attacking us. Rhodes County."
Because of scruples about going to the kingdom, there are very few wars between the counties and states. They are all small-scale temptations of the subordinate cities. When they find an opportunity to attack in one fell swoop and win a series of advantages, the counties and states will move. Powerless.
"No matter who it is, the war between the county and the country is probably unavoidable. It doesn't matter to the Marquis, but I don't know if the Duke will take action to suppress it."
The Earl of the Marquis of Suming is the son of the Duke, and it is normal to suppress the turmoil in the three counties for his son.
So the three major counties have been safe for thousands of years. The war started in Kenda City. I thought it was just a civil war in Kenda City, but now it has affected the three major city-states, and even the counties. It seems that there is one hand controlling these things. I want to make the forces near Beihai mess up first.
An Ding stood up, looked at Sekenxi with his only remaining eye, and said, "My lord, chaos has a chance."
It has always been a pool of stagnant water, so how can they have a chance.
Kencesi looked back at it, whether to continue to be ordinary, or to take advantage of the chaos to fight for hegemony, no matter what position the final fight for, or death, is the result that important?
At this moment, its ambitions began to swell, and it could no longer be suppressed: "I have been suppressed by a useless Marquis for a long time, and this Earl doesn't even know what blood is."
"As for Zuo Si, as long as he doesn't betray the Earl, he can develop Kenda City well, and he can be used by the Earl during the battle between the county and the state, so let's keep it."
A brave and brainless pioneer can just contain other city-states for it.
Zuo Si returned to the boat, wondering what the earl would do after he made a big fuss at the post station, whether he would directly suppress it violently, or ignore it.
He waited for a whole day, but there was no movement. It seemed that Sekenxi was not planning to move him because of this incident.
Also waiting for the news were other city lords, and the most anxious one was Myerson, who was full of disappointment when the earl summoned Zuo Si.
If you want to say who wants Zuo Si to die the most now, it belongs to Myerson. Most of the combat power items obtained from the attack on Dakai City were taken by Zuo Si, and not only did it not get any spoils, but it also lost a lot. The heart of jealousy , making it want to kill Zuo Si with a sword immediately.
But it is well aware of its own strength, and there is no way to kill Zuo Si, even if it can kill it, it still has to face the earl's questioning, so it is better to kill with a knife.
In the county, the sharpest knife is undoubtedly the earl.
It wanted to use the Earl's hand to kill Zuo Si, in order to calm down the resentment that evolved from jealousy.
From Zuo Si's attitude at the inn, he knew that Myerson was hostile to him. As for where the hostility came from, it was not difficult to guess.
It would be fine if Myerson succeeded in occupying Dakaesong, but it lost Dakaesong. After calculating the gains this time, it turned out that Zuosi had made more profits, and his own losses were even greater. After making a wedding dress, some people will inevitably complain.
It just so happened that Myerson was such a person, and when the distribution was uneven, he hated Zuo Si.
There was no movement in the Earl's Mansion, and all the city lords were ready to watch the show. Only Myerson's desire to make trouble became stronger and stronger.
The first night in the county was spent peacefully.
Early the next morning, Earl Kensey sent his subordinates to gather the city owners of the major city-states in the earl's mansion.
This is the first real meeting with the city lords after Zuo Si became the city lord.
As soon as he entered the conference hall, the city lord came up to him and said, "I saw you in a hurry yesterday, and the left city lord really lives up to his reputation. He is the city lord Mengsa in Xiaheping City."
Zuo Si's heart moved. Before Lanlin City fell in the First World War, Heiping City was the second most powerful among the seven major city-states, and now it is truly number one.
The competition among the city lords is very fierce. They gather at the Earl's Mansion every year. The city lord who paid the highest tax in that year was exempted from tax in March. Before that, Lanlin City had always been the first. This year, Heiping City may be exempted from tax.
I have to say that Sekensi is smart. Use this method to prevent the city owners from making false accounts. It depends on whether you have more tax exemptions for three months, or you have saved more by evading taxes.
With the strength of Hei Pingcheng, it will be of great use to him in the future, and he can build a good relationship, not to mention, why should he be cold when others smile.
"The Lord of Monsa is polite. I have heard of the invincible name of the Lord of Monsa when I was only in the tribe."
It wasn't that he was exaggerating. Since Monsa became the lord of the city, he has won all the battles he has experienced.
Before Zuo Si came, he knew the information about these city lords in advance. Compared with other city lords who won and lost, Mengsa did not lose a single battle.
He secretly glanced at the armor on Mengsa's body, knowing that after becoming a yellow bone, the color of the bone can be changed at will, but its grade cannot be seen from the color of the bone.
Not only Monsa, but all the city owners present, he could only be sure that Myerson was a blue bone.
Zuo Si never realized that he was the only one who had ambitions, and he was the only one who wanted to hide his strength. People's hearts are unpredictable, so it's no wonder that those in power are on guard against their subordinates.
At this time, Myerson sneered and said: "Then who can compare to the left city master? From a small tribe leader, he has been invincible all the way."
"Oh, by the way, there are quite a lot of benefits in Dakaicheng, and they are recruiting troops to form an army recently. I don't know what Kenda City needs so many troops for. Maybe it has ulterior motives."
Killing and killing people, what Myerson said was to push him into the pit of fire.
Now that the enemy has already made a move, why should he be humble: "The Lord of Myerson knows a lot about the news about my city of Kenda, but he doesn't know how many secret agents of the Lord of Myerson are there in the Earl's Mansion and the other mansions of the other city lords? .”
As soon as this remark came out, all the city lords looked at Myerson suspiciously. In fact, they knew well that whoever was in the earl's mansion and other city lords' mansions had no spies.
But no one wants to have people from other forces in their mansion. Myerson's spying was directly exposed by Zuo Si. Of course, they wanted to take this opportunity to find out the spies from the city lord's mansion.
After all, the Earl also has spies in the City Lord's Mansion. If they look for spies, they will undoubtedly alarm the Earl.
I don't know if I can find out the news, I'll send it over first.
Zuo Si noticed their eyes and smiled secretly, they were all thousand-year-old foxes pretending to be white lotuses in prosperity.
Myerson was not in the mood to laugh. He didn't care what the city owners thought. If the Earl thought the same as them, he might lose his life.
It hurriedly said: "Who doesn't know about the big movement in Kenda City?"
"I do not know."
"I don't even know." The city lords began to pretend to be stupid. If they said they knew, wouldn't they be admitting that they had also arranged spies, and they were not stupid.
Myerson gritted his teeth and looked at them: "You guys are talking nonsense."
"What nonsense?" Sekenxi came out from behind and looked at them curiously.
It's just a posturing, if you say it doesn't know what happened in the meeting hall, don't say that Zuo Si doesn't believe it, and neither do the other city lords.
But no one dared to say that they didn't believe it. As they were considering how to speak, Myerson said first: "I'm talking about the purpose of forming an army in Kenda City during this time."
"Oh? What's the intention of the left city master?" Sekenxi turned his head and looked at Zuo Si with great interest.
There was a flash of joy in Myerson's eyes, and it had to add more material.
"Military Master, do you think Zuo Si really looks like what he showed?"
He made trouble when he first came to the county. Does it mean that he is ignorant and fearless, or that he doesn't take this earl seriously?
On the lower head of Sekenxi sat a skeleton in a gray robe, the whole body was covered by the robe, it was very mysterious, and its rank could not be seen.
