The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

"We can only pray that the general and the military advisor hold a very important place in the city lord's heart," Zeng Wenyu turned around and looked at Li Qi and Zhang Qing who were following behind him, "So do you two think that the city lord of Zhengxi City will let us go because of your father?"

After hearing Zeng Wenyu's question, Zhang Qing fell silent. She was not the kind of person who could guess the city lord's thoughts. Li Qi next to her fell into deep thought.

"Under normal circumstances, if you interrupted the city lord's plan, he would definitely not let you go, not to mention that you set so many fires in Zhengxi City..." Li Qi paused here, "But there is another possibility. You kill all the small and medium-sized nobles. Although the city lord will be angry, he will be very happy in his heart. After all, there are too many termites in Zhengxi City. Most of these people are idlers. Killing them will help the city lord regain power."

"Well, although I don't know what kind of personality the mayor of Zhengxi City has, I think this is very likely. It is taboo for power to fall into the hands of others. No one likes their power to be divided. I guess that except for your high-ranking families in the entire Zhengxi City, your mayor has long wanted to take action against other people."

"Maybe, but we can't guess what the city lord is thinking. Even Zhang Qing's father can't guess the city lord's thoughts."

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

This time the army did not hide itself. They marched forward on the road in a mighty manner, and at the same time they also suppressed the nobles who were captured from Zhengxi City.

The previous battle in Zhengxi City did not have much impact on the army. Even after a fight with the guards outside the General's Mansion, no one in the army was injured. They were almost in full condition, so their speed was not slow.

However, even though they were traveling at a fast speed, they still saw the Liang army appearing in front of them after an hour and a half. They did not escape the Liang army.

As soon as they met, both sides started to fight. Compared with Zeng Wenyu's side, which only had one army, the people on the other side outnumbered them by many times. The other side just started to fight, but Zeng Wenyu found that he could not match the other side in momentum.

After both sides deployed their battle formations, Zeng Wenyu saw three people flying out from the opposite side. It seemed that they were the city lord, general, and military advisor of Zhengxi City.

Pushing those nobles to the front of the formation, they all started shouting when they saw the city lord and his three men. They kept asking the city lord for help, but the city lord seemed to have no interest in them. He just looked at Zeng Wenyu and his six men standing behind these nobles.

"Who among you is the leader of this army?" The mayor of Zhengxi City stood in the air and stared at the army below.

Hearing his words, Zeng Wenyu took the initiative to step forward and said, "If you want to ask who is in charge, it may not be me, but if you want to ask who led the team here, it was me."

"Oh?" The mayor of Zhengxi City landed from the sky and looked at Zeng Wenyu. "Who gave you the courage to come to Zhengxi City with such a small number of people?"

"Who gave me the courage? No one gave me the courage. I just thought that this would solve the crisis in Shubian City. Otherwise, how could I let you come back?"

"Okay, okay, kid, do you know what the price is for ruining my plan? Do you think I will let you go after I know it's you who ruined my plan? Or do you have the confidence to escape from my hands?"

"Of course I don't think you will let me go, and I certainly don't have the confidence that I can escape from your hands, but I have a hostage in my hands."

The Lord of Zhengxi City glanced at the small and medium nobles who were pushed out. Hearing their cries for help, his face twitched: "Just them? Do you think I will change my mind because of them? They are just a group of nobles. Even if you kill them all, my Zhengxi City can still produce more nobles."

"Hahaha, I knew you would say that, City Lord."

After saying this, Zeng Wenyu waved his hand behind him. With screams, the heads of the patriarchs and legitimate sons of those small nobles fell to the ground. The smell of blood instantly spread out, and blood was flowing everywhere on the ground.

"How is it? I helped you, the City Lord, to reclaim a batch of power. Will these reclaimed powers allow you to gain more benefits?"

The Lord of Zhengxi City frowned as he looked at Zeng Wenyu in front of him. It was the first time he was asked this question. Although he could indeed concentrate some power after these small nobles were killed, could he say this openly? !

Although he felt that the death of these small nobles did not matter, he would not admit it: "If you kill the nobles of Zhengxi City, Zhengxi City will fight you to the death."

"Oh, but we are in a situation where we fight to the death. If I don't kill you, will you let me go after what happened today?"

Having said that, Zeng Wenyu waved his hand again, and another group of heads fell to the ground. This time it was still those small nobles. There were too many of them, and the Third Army captured quite a few of them in the city.

As Zeng Wenyu waved his hands again and again, those small nobles were gradually killed, and then a group of middle-level nobles were pushed out.

"What do you think? Look at these middle-level nobles. After they die, the power gap they leave behind is bigger, right? The benefits they bring after their death are much greater than those of the petty nobles before."

Zeng Wenyu stretched out a finger behind him. They had just discussed it. Waving his hand meant killing a group of people, and pointing one finger meant killing a family.

"City Lord! We have made so many contributions to Zhengxi City! You can't save us! We have worked diligently for you all these years..."

Before the middle noble could finish his words, the mayor of Zhengxi City pointed at him, and the man's head exploded like a watermelon, with blood splattering all over the face and body of the person next to him.

Seeing the Lord of Zhengxi City do this, the middle-level nobles behind Zeng Wenyu were trembling in fear. They were afraid that if they knew too much, the Lord of the City would kill them.

"Oh? It seems that you, the city lord, have also done a lot of work. What exactly did that person want to say? Why didn't you let him finish?" Zeng Wenyu looked at the city lord of Zhengxi City in front of him with a smile, "But you do have the capital to do it, and you don't even need our help. It seems that these middle-level nobles can't threaten you, so just kill them all!"

As Zeng Wenyu finished speaking, the heads of those middle-level nobles were all chopped off. Of course, not only the city lord in front of him, but even the general and the military advisor changed their expressions. It seemed that they had a lot of transactions with these people.
