Duke Zhenguo ran forward along the Huangquan River with his horse and whipped. The bandits followed closely, and few of them cared about the two people in the distance.

The two people driving fast in the distance also saw Duke Zhen and his group. The man with Feng Erniang's eyes flashed a few times and returned to the calm, but did not catch up with him and asked a few questions.

The two men moved quickly in different directions, and neither of them cared about each other.

The purpose of the trip to Duke Zhenguo was not because he was curious or because he wanted to go up and explore. It was simply from a military perspective and he wanted to find the best front.

In the future, war will begin in the Eastern Continent, where the battlefield will be placed, where the army will be stationed, and where the retreat will be encountered. These will circulate in the general's mind.

He thought about defeat before fighting, and the army was coming from afar. It was impossible to win every game, nor could he fight smoothly. What he had to think about was how to deal with defeat.

Li Dongyang would not have thought of these, because he never thought of losing. The bones in the East Continent must be taken down. Even if Li Dongyang's strength is not enough, someone will help him.

Duke Zhenguo didn't know this. As a father, he had to do his best to help his son. He had to find several places suitable for the army to settle down.

These ending points have one characteristic, that is, they are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Duke of Zhenguo has a goal, which is to measure every piece of land in the Eastern Continent before the army sets in the Eastern Continent, and to be familiar with the mountains and rivers of the Eastern Continent.

Everyone has their own goals. Duke Zhenguo is moving towards his own goals, and Zhang Hao is also moving towards his own goals.

After returning to Sifang City, Zhang Hao entered a short rest. He did not rush to travel far, but investigated Sifang City again.

This is an important chess piece that the Wu Kingdom landed in the Eastern Continent, and must be in control.

The targets of this investigation include refugees and beggars. Zhang Hao is very clear about how big the role of beggars is. Li Dongyang has an army of beggars in his hands.

It’s just that Zhang Hao didn’t dare to build a beggar army in the Eastern Continent because it was so eye-catching.

In the Eastern Continent, many beggars are fake, and their function is to spy on the situation.

Perhaps there are eyewitnesses from various forces among these beggars. In addition, Ye Huang, an organization selling the acquisition information, is really not easy to investigate the background of the beggars.

"Why is my father-in-law here?" Zhang Hao was so busy that he reported that Zhang Hao's father-in-law, the city lord, has arrived.

The subordinate shook his head, it was really unclear. The city lord suddenly visited and had no news before.

After putting away the information, Zhang Hao got up and left the secret room and came to the front hall.

The city lord was chatting with Zhang Hao's wife Yan Ruo. I don't know what to talk about, but the father and daughter were smiling happily.

"The father-in-law is here, and the son-in-law is in a position to welcome him. I'll forgive him for his crimes." Before Zhang Haoren entered the house, his voice came in first.

"You are polite son-in-law. I'm just a temporary visit for my father, so there's no need to be polite." The city lord stood up and laughed, and it seemed that he was still very satisfied with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao quickly thanked him, and both sides were polite and then sat down. During this period, Zhang Hao had been quietly observing the city lord's expression, as if he was observing whether the city lord's words were true or false.

In a chaotic world, Zhang Hao has become accustomed to being cautious. Only by being careful can one move a thousand-year-old boat can one keep his wealth and a young man.

The city lord is not much different from the past, but there seems to be sadness between his eyebrows.

The two sides sat down and chatted for a long time. The city lord winked. Yan Ruo stood up and said, "My father and my husband tell me the old days, and my little girl is going to prepare lunch."

"Haha, okay, there's Mrs. Lau." Zhang Hao rushed to reply, and then said to the city lord: "I don't know that my father-in-law wants to order food, and Yan'er's craftsmanship has improved again."

"Is that so? My father is so happy today, but he has benefited from the virtuous son-in-law, hahaha." The city lord, like many people, has a problem that starts or ends with haha.

Zhang Hao smiled with a bright smile, and Li Dongyang's comment flashed through his mind: he smiled like a silly man.

Yan Ruo went down to prepare lunch, and Zhang Hao and the city lord were facing each other. The two pairs of silly ** were smiling falsely and falsely. After a long time, the city lord continued to speak.

"Son-in-law, I wonder how you feel about the Black Dragon Gang?" asked the city lord.

The Black Dragon Gang is the city lord's superior family, and the Sifang City belongs to the territory of the Black Dragon Gang. The Black Dragon Gang is not a particularly large force. There is also a boss on it, so he only takes charge of three cities.

Sifang City is the smallest among the three cities, and was the weakest before.

However, later Zhang Hao joined Sifang City and used his business talent and Li Dongyang's support to develop Sifang City with the largest city in the Black Dragon Gang.

At this time, the city lord suddenly mentioned the Black Dragon Gang, which gave Zhang Hao an ominous premonition, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Why did my father-in-law suddenly ask this? Is something happened?"

Zhang Hao raised his sword eyebrows slightly, his slender peach blossom eyes narrowed into a line, and he was alert to mention the highest point.

"Haha, it's nothing. The Black Dragon Gang is preparing to expand recently. He wants to recruit disciples in the three cities. For his father, he is wondering if you will join the Black Dragon Gang as well."

When the city lord spoke, his right hand fisted, rubbed his index finger joints with his thumb, and his eyelids drooped slightly, and he did not look directly into Zhang Hao's eyes.

Zhang Hao observed carefully and did not miss the small movement of rubbing the index finger joints with his thumb. He felt that something was wrong here, and his father-in-law might know some inside information.

"Father-in-law, I am just a businessman. I will be satisfied with making some money in business. I don't want to become bigger and stronger. I hope my father-in-law understands it."

Zhang Hao was careful in wording and was ready to push this proposal.

It is not clear what kind of power the Black Dragon Gang is. Those lackeys are hiding deeply and cannot be easily judged.

If you join the lackey force and accidentally get caught, Zhang Hao has to be careful when joining one force.

"My father-in-law knows that you have no big ambitions, but you have to think about your son. You can't let him be a small businessman like you.

You also know that businessmen have a low status and are all fat sheep raised by others and may be slaughtered at any time."

The city lord interrupted Zhang Hao's later words, made a serious expression on his face, and continued to persuade: "Besides, according to your current strength, if I am gone one day, can you keep your wealth?"

"Why did my father-in-law say this? Did something big happen?" Zhang Hao showed concern and panic on his face, and he was even more worried in his eyes.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the Eastern Continent is going to be in chaos, and all forces may be reshuffled. You must consider it for the future." The city lord sighed and felt even more sad.

"Easy to chaos in the East Continent, it shouldn't affect us. Besides, if it's really a mess, can we save our strength with the strength of the Black Dragon Gang?"

Zhang Haoqu guided the topic and talked about the forces of all parties in the East Continent. Not to mention the four major forces and the five alliances, even the forces around Sifang City could also be able to suppress the Black Dragon Gang.
