Forced to be the Lord of the Underworld
Chapter 49
The spider crab swarm is restless, the green bone has been overtaken by the spider crab swarm, and there is also a green bone spider crab inside, the green bone under siege has little hope of surviving.
Zuo Si knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise he would be the next person to be besieged.
He turned around and quickly left this place of right and wrong, but someone obviously didn't want him to leave just like that.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the green bone hurriedly shouted: "Brother, help us fight together, and you will be thankful afterwards."
Its voice attracted the eyes of some spider crabs to him.
Zuo Si sneered inwardly, it made it clear that it asked itself to share the firepower for it, why did it sound so nice.
Without saying a word, he left with the fastest speed. Suddenly, those spider crabs looked at his back, then at the green bone, but they still didn't chase him.
It is the green bones that attract their hatred, and the firepower will naturally be aimed at the green bones.
The green-backed teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made it really have evil intentions and was discovered by others. I don't know how this kid ran so fast.
Zuo Si, who ran away, didn't know what was going on in his heart. He had been away from Zuo Sibu for too long, and he needed to go back as soon as possible.
The nearby city-states are all staring at Kenda City, and he also wants to know whether Myerson can live in Dakai City, which will still affect his future plans.
After all, his foundation is still in the tribe, and the side mission issued by the system requires him to become an earl within a year.
Almost two months have passed so far. So far, except for his personal strength improvement, the tribe has not developed much.
On the way back, Zuo Si kept thinking about how to further enhance the strength of the tribe's undead warriors.
First of all, it is Jiuyin. Although it is a yellow bone, it can't be used to fight. It must adapt to the cruelty of this world as soon as possible so that it can participate in the battle.
Leaving from the spider crab area, he didn't meet the hunter team all the way, probably because the battle with the giant octopus made them more cautious.
It's okay if you can't touch it, it saves a lot of trouble.
He was alone, and there would always be someone who couldn't help but see him alone.
With his current speed, he returned to Kenda City in less than a third of the time he came here.
The gate of Kenda City was closed tightly, and it seemed that something had happened.
When he left, Kenda City had returned to normal. The civilians in the city could travel freely, and the skeletons outside could also enter the city for trade.
Although there are very few skeletons who come to Kenda City to do business, the gates of the city are not closed. Things are not easy.
Zuo Si walked towards the city gate, but was stopped when he was 100 meters away from the city gate.
"Stop."
Dozens of skeletons appeared on the top of the tower, and they filled the bow. As long as he took another step forward, they would shoot arrows.
"Who are you?" The skeleton on the tower asked loudly.
But then someone said: "It looks like the city owner."
"Master City Lord? How is it possible, why is Lord City Master outside?"
"But his black robe is very similar to the city lord."
"There are too many people wearing black robes, let's talk about it after asking."
Zuo Si responded, "Ask the city gate guard to come out."
"Yes."
Hearing his voice, the skeleton on the city wall responded subconsciously, as if it was born to obey this person's orders.
"It seems to be really the Lord of the City." It muttered, and hurried to invite the city gate guard.
The guard of the north gate is Swell, and it recognized Zuo Si at the first sight: "The city lord?"
After it drank the black and white potion, even if it didn't see Zuo Si under the hat, it would never admit its mistake.
Zuo Si took off his hat, glanced at it, and said hastily, "It's the city lord, open the city gate quickly."
As soon as he entered Kenda City, Jedro rushed over and circled around him, very excited.
Seeing its dog-legged appearance, Zuo Si reached out and patted its head.
Ma En was running over, and kept shouting, "Jedru."
The moment he saw Zuo Si, he immediately stood still, walked over quickly and said, "Master City Master."
"En." Zuo Si ordered: "Call the military division to come to the conference hall to find me."
"Yes."
Ma En glanced at the cheerful Jedro, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to leave.
Zuo Si returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and he looked at Jedru thoughtfully.
Nineteen knew what he was thinking: "You want to use Jedro to exercise Jiuyin?"
"Yeah, only sea monsters know how to train sea monsters better."
Zuo Si let Jiu Yin out, and it wrapped around him immediately, looking around tremblingly, as if he didn't adapt to this empty environment.
Seeing that it locked Zuo Si, Jie Delu roared viciously, as if he was concerned that it was a yellow bone, but he didn't dare to move.
These two guys just stared at each other like this, neither of them backed down, and they didn't dare to rush forward to fight.
Zuo Si: "..."
He suddenly remembered the video he watched in his previous life, the meaningless fight between the cubs and pets in the family.
He said coldly: "Jedru, from now on, you will fight Jiuyin for a week, train him out, at least he can beat you."
"Otherwise, both of you will starve me."
Hearing his threatening words, Jiuyin groaned and flinched, and Jedro's eyes suddenly became fierce, staring at Jiuyin viciously.
Jiuyin was stared at by it and dared not move.
Zuo Si pulled it away from his body, instead of looking into its pitiful eyes, he turned and walked towards the meeting hall.
Seeing its appearance, Gedru's original fear disappeared, and he rushed up excitedly. Its blue bones can beat yellow bones, and it can be regarded as the first sea monster.
It's not that Zuo Si didn't hear the sound of Jiuyin humming and being beaten, but as a yellow bone being beaten like this by a blue bone, what can he say.
He didn't plan to take care of them, the clay figurine was still angry, and it would naturally fight back if it was in a hurry.
Zuo Si walked into the conference hall, and Amon was already waiting for him.
"City Master." He looked Zuo Si up and down: "Congratulations to City Master for being promoted to Huanggu."
"The military master has good eyesight."
Amon's strength is still a mystery. When he was blue-boned, he felt that this person was very strong. Now that he was yellow-boned, he still felt that the person in front of him was unfathomable.
But Zuo Si didn't have time to greet him, but asked directly: "Won't the military master tell us about the recent situation?"
Amon sat on a chair and began to tell what happened in Dolan County during the days when Zuo Si left.
The first thing is that Myerson's Dakaicheng was not defended. On the second day after Zuosi left, it was called to the county by the Earl of Dolan County Sekensi. was attacked.
When Sekenxi told it to leave, it had a guess in its heart, and took away the capable general and the personal guard.
The remaining skeleton warriors have only one outcome, either die or surrender.
Dolan County must have made some kind of deal with Rhodes County, but Sekensi didn't want to give it up, so he asked someone to tell it to leave.
Myerson finally understood that as long as it didn't have a yellow bone, it couldn't expand outward.
It relies on the county behind it, but once the earl accepts the opponent's conditions, it will be of no use even if it wins Dakaicheng, it is still a pawn in the game between the county.
It understood too late, so many of its subordinates were thrown in Dakai City by it. Fortunately, a group of captives were transported back to Lanlin City. It was a bit of a loss, but within an acceptable range.
In this battle, the biggest beneficiary was actually Zuo Si.
Myerson looked in the direction of Kenda City, and many thoughts appeared in his mind for a while.
Zuo Si must have known this would be the result, but instead of reminding himself, he distributed most of the belongings.
Thinking of this, it gritted its teeth with hatred.
This is the case whether it is a human or a skeleton. When it faces a force that it cannot match, it starts to transfer hatred.
Compared with it, Zuo Si, who was weaker than it, became the object of its hatred, because it believed that it had the ability to take revenge.
So it said exactly what Zuosi benefited from this war in Sekenxi, and also said that he took away the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City, plus the original armor of Kenda City. With one piece, he has two pieces of yellow bone equipment.
In order to prevent the city lord from rebelling, each city can only have one piece of yellow bone equipment, and the more can only be handed in.
So Sekenxi ordered Zuo Si to go to the county to meet him.
But he was in Beihai and couldn't go to the county. He was late, so Sekenxi sent his subordinates to invite him. The leader was a yellow bone, obviously wanting to give him, the new city lord, a blow.
The people in Sekenxi were already on their way, and Amon just wanted to delay closing the city gates for a few days, trying to drag them back to Zuo Temple. If there was a conflict and he didn't come back, he looked down at his somewhat transparent hand.
Then let Dolan County change the earl.
Zuo Si didn't know that Amon wanted to overthrow Sekense directly in his heart. He also understood after hearing this that Myerson must have said something that shouldn't be said in front of the Earl of Dolan County.
"Then wait for them to come."
It will take a few days for Jiuyin to get used to Minghai. When he takes Jiuyin with him, and he is also a yellow bone, it will be fine even if he goes to the county.
But as Myerson said, Kenda City has a piece of yellow bone equipment, but he hasn't found it yet.
He felt that there were two situations. One was that the old city lord was afraid that the weapon would fall into the hands of thieves, so he hid the things. He took away the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City, and wanted to see if he would hand over the armor.
It doesn't do any harm to it whether he pays it or not. Of course, it doesn't do any good either. It's a typical example of harming others and benefiting oneself.
If he didn't hand over the yellow bone armor, the count would suspect him, which would be very unfriendly to him. If he handed over the armor, at least no one would get the armor.
Zuo Si's body was covered with green bone armor. He didn't care about yellow bone armor, but he definitely didn't want to hand over the armor for nothing.
More importantly, to whom did the old city lord's yellow bone weapon go?
The memory of the original owner showed that it was an epee. The epee had no edge and required absolute strength. If it hit the skeleton, it might smash the skeleton's body in one blow.
Zuo Si called a few skeletons who were originally under the command of the old city lord, and asked them to recall where the old city lord would put things.
If you really can't find it, it is in the hands of Myerson, and he has a new excuse for the earl.
At this moment, Marne ran over and said, "My lord, the person sent by the Earl will arrive in half an hour..."
It didn't say anything next, everyone present knew that the people sent by the earl had come, would the city gate be opened or not?
Open, Zuo Si still needs a few days, if not open, it is against the earl.
If the city is against the county, the end will not be very good.
The author says:
"Open the city gate and let them in." Amon said.
Whether the city lord is present or not, there are two options for dealing with it.
If there is a city lord, they can entertain them and take a roundabout way. If the city lord is not there, they will not be able to see the city lord when they come. When Zuo Temple comes back, it is not so important whether the county goes or not.
Where did the Lord of the City go?If you didn't go to any of the cities under the county, then it was another county, or...Beihai.
If you go to another county, there is a high possibility of rebellion. If you go to Beihai, what else can you do besides subduing sea monsters?But Kenda City already has a sea monster, which has the ambition to annex the county.
Rebellion and wanting to rebel are both capital offenses, and there is no choice.
Otherwise, he would kill the person sent by the earl, which is no different from direct rebellion.
And he is here, then you can procrastinate. As for how to procrastinate, there are other considerations.
Zuo Si nodded, indicating that they listened to Amon, and because he understood the twists and turns, he felt that the annexation of the county must be done as soon as possible.
No, as long as he doesn't become the top group of people, this kind of thing will always happen, and all he can do is pretend to obey, accumulate strength, and annex them in one fell swoop.
While the gate of Kenda City was wide open, he ordered all the [-] skeletons of his personal guards to move and search the City Lord's Mansion in a carpet-like manner until the entire city was searched.
The search with great fanfare must be noticed by the people of the county.
If he can find the best, if he can't find it, it can prove that he really doesn't have two pieces of yellow bone equipment, or even one.
It’s just that Earl Sekensi will believe this approach, he can’t care so much, he has done all the tricks on face, or he will send someone to search for it.
The yellow-bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City was in the system backpack, and he did not find the yellow-bone epee of the old city lord, and Sekenxi couldn't make use of it.
Zuo Si sat in the conference hall, waiting for the news.
Was the yellow bone epee found first, or Earl Sekensi's subordinates came first.
Half an hour later, it was the news that Earl Sekensi's subordinates had entered the city first, and he asked his subordinates to bring them in.
The yellow-bone skeleton headed by the head looked higher than the top, and looked at the meeting room disdainfully, dissatisfied with the smallness of the place, and then set his sights on Zuo Si.
"You are Zuo Si?"
Huang Gu sat directly on the chair next to him, turned his head slightly to look at him, and said before he could speak: "My name is Harding, remember me."
"General Harding." Zuo Si called lightly.
Harding said displeasedly, "You are the only one of the seven city lords under the county to make this general sit down."
There are three yellow-boned generals under Dolan County's Sekensea, and Harding is one of them, and he is also the captain of the earl's personal guard, so he usually travels around the cities on behalf of Sekensea, and what he says is usually the earl's words. Even if the earl didn't say it, the city lords must take those words as the earl said, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.
It is used to doing whatever it wants in the major cities, and even a simple seat can make it feel dissatisfied. One can imagine what it is like to be used to it by other city lords.
Zuo Si chuckled lightly: "You want to take the seat of the city lord?"
"Who cares about a ruined city lord?" Harding snorted coldly. As the city lord of Huanggu, they are all relatively wealthy cities, like these cities near the North Sea, Huanggu is not willing to come.
Poor and angry, he was invaded by foreign enemies from time to time, and troubles continued.
It is a yellow bone, and the gold coins earned in the county are much more than being a city lord, not to mention that the city lord has to pay taxes. With its status, it is completely tax-free.
Harding said again: "I'm too lazy to tell you so much, come back with me to see the Earl."
It has always disliked the dilapidated Kenda City, and every time it comes, it doesn't get filial piety, and it doesn't have any good things, so it doesn't want to stay in Kenda City for a moment.
Zuo Si asked, "General Harding, do you want to visit Kenda City?"
"What is there to do in this ruined city?"
Harding made no secret of his disdain for Kenda City.
That's right, Kenda City doesn't even have a serious market, so there really isn't much to do.
Zuo Si didn't care about its attitude, but said: "Please."
Harding: "..."
Anger rose in its heart for a moment, but it still decided to take a look with him, what's so good about Kenda City, if not, don't blame it for being rude.
As soon as Zuo Si led it out, he saw many skeleton warriors running around the City Lord's Mansion nervously, as if they were facing an enemy.
It also saw it when it came in, but it didn't care, it was a yellow bone, so what if all these skeleton warriors came for it?
Yellow bones, one person is worth one city.
"Lord City Lord."
"Lord City Lord."
Every skeleton that passed by them stopped and yelled, but they all ignored Harding.
Harding only felt that it was outrageous. This was the treatment it had never had in other city-states. No matter whether it was the city lord or his subordinates, which one would not hold it up to the sky, here, there was not a single skeleton to take care of it.
Zuo Si didn't flatter the horse, or even take it seriously.
Today's Kenda City is no different from the Kenda City in its mind, but the skeletons in the city have changed greatly.
It remembered that the old city lord back then was also like Zuo Si, polite on the surface, but very cold in reality.
Is this the tradition of Kenda City?Even if you change the city lord, it's useless?
Harding thought wildly for a while, and then asked, "Are the soldiers under Zuo Si City Lord's command very busy?"
"They are all my personal guards. They are in such a hurry to find something."
Half of this play, which is not considered a play, was performed for Harding. How could the content be kept from him.
Harding's heart moved, thinking of the earl's words and the reason for his trip, he immediately asked, "Are you looking for the old castellan's epee?"
It doesn't think it's worth having an extra piece of yellow bone equipment in the hands of the city lord. The count of the county is a yellow bone, and there are three yellow bone generals under his command. A single weapon can't affect the situation of the battle.
Those in power in this world are really too cautious. If the Marquis restricts the Earl, the Earl is also restricting the city lord under him.
They are all afraid of losing their current status and being replaced by others, and they have never been willing to relax the restrictions on their subordinates.
Looking at Harding's indifference, Zuo Si could understand their actions. After all, as their strength improved, it was easy to breed ambition.
"That's right, if you can't find the old city lord's yellow-bone epee for a day, Kenda City will have no town heavy weapon."
For the city-state, having a piece of yellow bone equipment is not as effective as having a sea monster, but it can also increase a lot of combat power.
If a city lord with yellow bone equipment fights against a city lord without yellow bone equipment, he can win with ten moves.
Harding stared at him for a while: "Don't you still have the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City?"
After all, they still suspected that the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City was in his hands.
Zuo Si chuckled softly: "Who did you listen to, General?"
"Myerson." Harding said Myerson directly.
For the earl, the relationship between the subordinates and the city masters is not good, which is also the way of the emperor.
Just like in ancient times, civil and military confrontation, the relationship between them does not have to be too good, if it is too good, those in power will feel uneasy.
Zuo Si turned his head and asked, "The general believes it?"
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Does the general mean the earl?"
Harding acquiesced, its trip was the earl's order, and naturally it was the earl's intention. It was at most trying to gain some benefits other than the earl's order, and it didn't have the guts to falsely pass on the imperial decree.
But it can't answer those words, does it dare to say that what it means is what the earl means?Of course not, and it couldn't say that the Earl just didn't believe in Zuo Si, the Earl never said such a thing, it was overbearing to inspect the city-state on behalf of the Earl, but it wasn't a fool.
"You mean Myerson lied?"
The two people's statements are inconsistent, which can only show that one of them is lying.
In front of Zuo Si, its object of questioning naturally became Myerson. It didn't matter who was lying, it was using the yellow bone equipment.
The yellow bone epee is the most important weapon in the city of Kenda. The count said that if only this one is found, it will be left to Zuo Si. If the yellow bone armor is found, one of the two must be brought back.
Even if there is only yellow-bone armor, it must be brought back. The Earl doesn't care whether Zuo Si has a yellow-bone epee or not.
Zuo Si knew very well that the yellow bone armor could not be exposed for the time being, so he shook his head and said, "Perhaps the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai city is neither in my hands nor in the hands of Myerson."
At that time, some generals escaped. Who can say that the yellow bone armor was not taken away by it?
"You mean?"
Apparently, Harding knew these things too.
Zuo Si had reason to suspect that the Earl knew of all of Myerson's plans before he attacked Dakai City.
In other words, in that battle, almost all their strategies were completed under the watchful eyes of Earl Sekensi.
Sure enough, he is the lord of the county, and any changes of his subordinate city lords cannot be concealed from its eyes.
No wonder, there are very few city lords who can become earls. Generally, the generals under the earl directly rebel. They are also yellow bones and have an army in their hands. It is hard not to be ambitious.
Zuo Si said again: "The yellow bone armor is most likely in the hands of the three of us, but City Lord Myerson and I will never admit that it is in our hands."
"Even if I say that the armor is not in my hands, the general doesn't believe it, let alone the earl, let the facts speak for themselves."
He looked around the city lord's mansion and said: "General, you can ask your subordinates to search with my personal guards. It can be anywhere in the city. As long as you find the yellow bone armor with me, feel free to take it."
No matter how Harding searched, it would never find the yellow bone armor in Kenda City. How could it possibly be found in the system backpack.
Harding looked at him suspiciously: "You really asked General Ben to search?"
"of course."
Seeing Zuo Si's affirmative expression, Harding's heart began to tilt. Could it be that Myerson really lied?Did he really not have the yellow bone armor?
But what the result is, we still need to search and say.
It was about to give orders to its subordinates when Zuo Si suddenly said, "General."
Harding looked at him, but his eyes were asking, what else did he want to say.
"My Kenda City is not big, not as big as a county, let alone the Earl's Mansion, but I am the lord of the city. If the general can't find it, I will pay for it with my life."
You can search, but Zuo Si, as the city lord, maintains the dignity of himself and the city-state. Otherwise, will there be skeletons willing to pledge their allegiance in the future?
Harding thumped in his heart, then shook his head amusedly, it is a yellow bone, do we need to be afraid of a blue bone?
Zuo Si knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise he would be the next person to be besieged.
He turned around and quickly left this place of right and wrong, but someone obviously didn't want him to leave just like that.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the green bone hurriedly shouted: "Brother, help us fight together, and you will be thankful afterwards."
Its voice attracted the eyes of some spider crabs to him.
Zuo Si sneered inwardly, it made it clear that it asked itself to share the firepower for it, why did it sound so nice.
Without saying a word, he left with the fastest speed. Suddenly, those spider crabs looked at his back, then at the green bone, but they still didn't chase him.
It is the green bones that attract their hatred, and the firepower will naturally be aimed at the green bones.
The green-backed teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made it really have evil intentions and was discovered by others. I don't know how this kid ran so fast.
Zuo Si, who ran away, didn't know what was going on in his heart. He had been away from Zuo Sibu for too long, and he needed to go back as soon as possible.
The nearby city-states are all staring at Kenda City, and he also wants to know whether Myerson can live in Dakai City, which will still affect his future plans.
After all, his foundation is still in the tribe, and the side mission issued by the system requires him to become an earl within a year.
Almost two months have passed so far. So far, except for his personal strength improvement, the tribe has not developed much.
On the way back, Zuo Si kept thinking about how to further enhance the strength of the tribe's undead warriors.

So Sekenxi ordered Zuo Si to go to the county to meet him.
But he was in Beihai and couldn't go to the county. He was late, so Sekenxi sent his subordinates to invite him. The leader was a yellow bone, obviously wanting to give him, the new city lord, a blow.
The people in Sekenxi were already on their way, and Amon just wanted to delay closing the city gates for a few days, trying to drag them back to Zuo Temple. If there was a conflict and he didn't come back, he looked down at his somewhat transparent hand.
Then let Dolan County change the earl.
Zuo Si didn't know that Amon wanted to overthrow Sekense directly in his heart. He also understood after hearing this that Myerson must have said something that shouldn't be said in front of the Earl of Dolan County.
"Then wait for them to come."
It will take a few days for Jiuyin to get used to Minghai. When he takes Jiuyin with him, and he is also a yellow bone, it will be fine even if he goes to the county.
But as Myerson said, Kenda City has a piece of yellow bone equipment, but he hasn't found it yet.
He felt that there were two situations. One was that the old city lord was afraid that the weapon would fall into the hands of thieves, so he hid the things. He took away the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City, and wanted to see if he would hand over the armor.
It doesn't do any harm to it whether he pays it or not. Of course, it doesn't do any good either. It's a typical example of harming others and benefiting oneself.
If he didn't hand over the yellow bone armor, the count would suspect him, which would be very unfriendly to him. If he handed over the armor, at least no one would get the armor.
Zuo Si's body was covered with green bone armor. He didn't care about yellow bone armor, but he definitely didn't want to hand over the armor for nothing.
More importantly, to whom did the old city lord's yellow bone weapon go?
The memory of the original owner showed that it was an epee. The epee had no edge and required absolute strength. If it hit the skeleton, it might smash the skeleton's body in one blow.
Zuo Si called a few skeletons who were originally under the command of the old city lord, and asked them to recall where the old city lord would put things.
If you really can't find it, it is in the hands of Myerson, and he has a new excuse for the earl.
At this moment, Marne ran over and said, "My lord, the person sent by the Earl will arrive in half an hour..."
It didn't say anything next, everyone present knew that the people sent by the earl had come, would the city gate be opened or not?
Open, Zuo Si still needs a few days, if not open, it is against the earl.
If the city is against the county, the end will not be very good.
The author says:
"Open the city gate and let them in." Amon said.
Whether the city lord is present or not, there are two options for dealing with it.
If there is a city lord, they can entertain them and take a roundabout way. If the city lord is not there, they will not be able to see the city lord when they come. When Zuo Temple comes back, it is not so important whether the county goes or not.
Where did the Lord of the City go?If you didn't go to any of the cities under the county, then it was another county, or...Beihai.
If you go to another county, there is a high possibility of rebellion. If you go to Beihai, what else can you do besides subduing sea monsters?But Kenda City already has a sea monster, which has the ambition to annex the county.
Rebellion and wanting to rebel are both capital offenses, and there is no choice.
Otherwise, he would kill the person sent by the earl, which is no different from direct rebellion.
And he is here, then you can procrastinate. As for how to procrastinate, there are other considerations.
Zuo Si nodded, indicating that they listened to Amon, and because he understood the twists and turns, he felt that the annexation of the county must be done as soon as possible.
No, as long as he doesn't become the top group of people, this kind of thing will always happen, and all he can do is pretend to obey, accumulate strength, and annex them in one fell swoop.
While the gate of Kenda City was wide open, he ordered all the [-] skeletons of his personal guards to move and search the City Lord's Mansion in a carpet-like manner until the entire city was searched.
The search with great fanfare must be noticed by the people of the county.
If he can find the best, if he can't find it, it can prove that he really doesn't have two pieces of yellow bone equipment, or even one.
It’s just that Earl Sekensi will believe this approach, he can’t care so much, he has done all the tricks on face, or he will send someone to search for it.
The yellow-bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City was in the system backpack, and he did not find the yellow-bone epee of the old city lord, and Sekenxi couldn't make use of it.
Zuo Si sat in the conference hall, waiting for the news.
Was the yellow bone epee found first, or Earl Sekensi's subordinates came first.
Half an hour later, it was the news that Earl Sekensi's subordinates had entered the city first, and he asked his subordinates to bring them in.
The yellow-bone skeleton headed by the head looked higher than the top, and looked at the meeting room disdainfully, dissatisfied with the smallness of the place, and then set his sights on Zuo Si.
"You are Zuo Si?"
Huang Gu sat directly on the chair next to him, turned his head slightly to look at him, and said before he could speak: "My name is Harding, remember me."
"General Harding." Zuo Si called lightly.
Harding said displeasedly, "You are the only one of the seven city lords under the county to make this general sit down."
There are three yellow-boned generals under Dolan County's Sekensea, and Harding is one of them, and he is also the captain of the earl's personal guard, so he usually travels around the cities on behalf of Sekensea, and what he says is usually the earl's words. Even if the earl didn't say it, the city lords must take those words as the earl said, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.
It is used to doing whatever it wants in the major cities, and even a simple seat can make it feel dissatisfied. One can imagine what it is like to be used to it by other city lords.
Zuo Si chuckled lightly: "You want to take the seat of the city lord?"
"Who cares about a ruined city lord?" Harding snorted coldly. As the city lord of Huanggu, they are all relatively wealthy cities, like these cities near the North Sea, Huanggu is not willing to come.
Poor and angry, he was invaded by foreign enemies from time to time, and troubles continued.
It is a yellow bone, and the gold coins earned in the county are much more than being a city lord, not to mention that the city lord has to pay taxes. With its status, it is completely tax-free.
Harding said again: "I'm too lazy to tell you so much, come back with me to see the Earl."
It has always disliked the dilapidated Kenda City, and every time it comes, it doesn't get filial piety, and it doesn't have any good things, so it doesn't want to stay in Kenda City for a moment.
Zuo Si asked, "General Harding, do you want to visit Kenda City?"
"What is there to do in this ruined city?"
Harding made no secret of his disdain for Kenda City.
That's right, Kenda City doesn't even have a serious market, so there really isn't much to do.
Zuo Si didn't care about its attitude, but said: "Please."
Harding: "..."
Anger rose in its heart for a moment, but it still decided to take a look with him, what's so good about Kenda City, if not, don't blame it for being rude.
As soon as Zuo Si led it out, he saw many skeleton warriors running around the City Lord's Mansion nervously, as if they were facing an enemy.
It also saw it when it came in, but it didn't care, it was a yellow bone, so what if all these skeleton warriors came for it?
Yellow bones, one person is worth one city.
"Lord City Lord."
"Lord City Lord."
Every skeleton that passed by them stopped and yelled, but they all ignored Harding.
Harding only felt that it was outrageous. This was the treatment it had never had in other city-states. No matter whether it was the city lord or his subordinates, which one would not hold it up to the sky, here, there was not a single skeleton to take care of it.
Zuo Si didn't flatter the horse, or even take it seriously.
Today's Kenda City is no different from the Kenda City in its mind, but the skeletons in the city have changed greatly.
It remembered that the old city lord back then was also like Zuo Si, polite on the surface, but very cold in reality.
Is this the tradition of Kenda City?Even if you change the city lord, it's useless?
Harding thought wildly for a while, and then asked, "Are the soldiers under Zuo Si City Lord's command very busy?"
"They are all my personal guards. They are in such a hurry to find something."
Half of this play, which is not considered a play, was performed for Harding. How could the content be kept from him.
Harding's heart moved, thinking of the earl's words and the reason for his trip, he immediately asked, "Are you looking for the old castellan's epee?"
It doesn't think it's worth having an extra piece of yellow bone equipment in the hands of the city lord. The count of the county is a yellow bone, and there are three yellow bone generals under his command. A single weapon can't affect the situation of the battle.
Those in power in this world are really too cautious. If the Marquis restricts the Earl, the Earl is also restricting the city lord under him.
They are all afraid of losing their current status and being replaced by others, and they have never been willing to relax the restrictions on their subordinates.
Looking at Harding's indifference, Zuo Si could understand their actions. After all, as their strength improved, it was easy to breed ambition.
"That's right, if you can't find the old city lord's yellow-bone epee for a day, Kenda City will have no town heavy weapon."
For the city-state, having a piece of yellow bone equipment is not as effective as having a sea monster, but it can also increase a lot of combat power.
If a city lord with yellow bone equipment fights against a city lord without yellow bone equipment, he can win with ten moves.
Harding stared at him for a while: "Don't you still have the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City?"
After all, they still suspected that the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai City was in his hands.
Zuo Si chuckled softly: "Who did you listen to, General?"
"Myerson." Harding said Myerson directly.
For the earl, the relationship between the subordinates and the city masters is not good, which is also the way of the emperor.
Just like in ancient times, civil and military confrontation, the relationship between them does not have to be too good, if it is too good, those in power will feel uneasy.
Zuo Si turned his head and asked, "The general believes it?"
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Does the general mean the earl?"
Harding acquiesced, its trip was the earl's order, and naturally it was the earl's intention. It was at most trying to gain some benefits other than the earl's order, and it didn't have the guts to falsely pass on the imperial decree.
But it can't answer those words, does it dare to say that what it means is what the earl means?Of course not, and it couldn't say that the Earl just didn't believe in Zuo Si, the Earl never said such a thing, it was overbearing to inspect the city-state on behalf of the Earl, but it wasn't a fool.
"You mean Myerson lied?"
The two people's statements are inconsistent, which can only show that one of them is lying.
In front of Zuo Si, its object of questioning naturally became Myerson. It didn't matter who was lying, it was using the yellow bone equipment.
The yellow bone epee is the most important weapon in the city of Kenda. The count said that if only this one is found, it will be left to Zuo Si. If the yellow bone armor is found, one of the two must be brought back.
Even if there is only yellow-bone armor, it must be brought back. The Earl doesn't care whether Zuo Si has a yellow-bone epee or not.
Zuo Si knew very well that the yellow bone armor could not be exposed for the time being, so he shook his head and said, "Perhaps the yellow bone armor of the city lord of Dakai city is neither in my hands nor in the hands of Myerson."
At that time, some generals escaped. Who can say that the yellow bone armor was not taken away by it?
"You mean?"
Apparently, Harding knew these things too.
Zuo Si had reason to suspect that the Earl knew of all of Myerson's plans before he attacked Dakai City.
In other words, in that battle, almost all their strategies were completed under the watchful eyes of Earl Sekensi.
Sure enough, he is the lord of the county, and any changes of his subordinate city lords cannot be concealed from its eyes.
No wonder, there are very few city lords who can become earls. Generally, the generals under the earl directly rebel. They are also yellow bones and have an army in their hands. It is hard not to be ambitious.
Zuo Si said again: "The yellow bone armor is most likely in the hands of the three of us, but City Lord Myerson and I will never admit that it is in our hands."
"Even if I say that the armor is not in my hands, the general doesn't believe it, let alone the earl, let the facts speak for themselves."
He looked around the city lord's mansion and said: "General, you can ask your subordinates to search with my personal guards. It can be anywhere in the city. As long as you find the yellow bone armor with me, feel free to take it."
No matter how Harding searched, it would never find the yellow bone armor in Kenda City. How could it possibly be found in the system backpack.
Harding looked at him suspiciously: "You really asked General Ben to search?"
"of course."
Seeing Zuo Si's affirmative expression, Harding's heart began to tilt. Could it be that Myerson really lied?Did he really not have the yellow bone armor?
But what the result is, we still need to search and say.
It was about to give orders to its subordinates when Zuo Si suddenly said, "General."
Harding looked at him, but his eyes were asking, what else did he want to say.
"My Kenda City is not big, not as big as a county, let alone the Earl's Mansion, but I am the lord of the city. If the general can't find it, I will pay for it with my life."
You can search, but Zuo Si, as the city lord, maintains the dignity of himself and the city-state. Otherwise, will there be skeletons willing to pledge their allegiance in the future?
Harding thumped in his heart, then shook his head amusedly, it is a yellow bone, do we need to be afraid of a blue bone?
