Chapter 440 The Chaos of the Divine Bird(4/7)
Although there were several hundred people in Tang Wen's group, they did not attract much attention.
Because there are too many people fleeing the disaster, and warriors from all walks of life gather here spontaneously. There are people everywhere. Who cares who you are?
Tie Changlong rushed directly to the city gate and showed the new Bird King's token and royal letter to a helmsman at the six gates.
The helmsman named Zheng Tian did not dare to neglect and quickly reported it to the commander-in-chief, Cui Ding.
Soon, Cui Ding hurried over with a group of people, "Cui Ding, the subordinate commander of Liushan Mansion, has met the prince."
This Divine Bird Kingdom is not even half the size of a province, but the six sect disciples stationed by the imperial court are quite advanced, actually reaching the level of Sea Saint City.
Probably because this is a county and an important border defense area.
"Is the governor here?" Tang Wen asked.
"Master Tang is at his residence, convening the Divine Bird General 'Bai Yijun' for a meeting to discuss matters related to the Divine Elephant Kingdom." Cui Ding said, cupping his fists.
"Well, take us directly to the governor's Yamen." Tang Wen said.
Cui Ding immediately sent people to clear the way in front and went straight to the governor's Yamen.
Probably because the land is relatively flat, although Chaha City has a population of only a few hundred thousand, the city area is very large.
Moreover, the governor's office was built tall and grand, almost like an inner city.
The courtyard is surrounded by high stones, like the Great Wall, with cannons in black clothes and soldiers roaming above.
When Tang Wen stood in front of the Yamen lobby, Tang Chengzhong glanced at him, his face suddenly fell, and he pointed at Cui Ding and said, "Master Cui, who is he? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
"Sir, he is the Divine Bird King Tang Wen who has just been enthroned by His Majesty the Emperor of Chu. He is here today to take over the Kingdom of Divine Birds." Cui Ding replied.
"Oh, why didn't I receive the emperor's order?" Tang Chengzhong was still sitting and asked slowly.
"Master Tang, do you mean that this king is fake?" Tang Wen said coldly.
It can be seen from this guy's popularity that he is quite indifferent to me.
In fact, the popular villain stared at him fiercely with great hostility.
This is strange, why is he hostile to me?
Tang Chengzhong did not stand, and all his subordinates sat with their swords on their faces, and none of them stood.
This was clearly meant to embarrass Tang Wen.
"Who is the Divine Bird General?" Tang Wen asked.
"I am Bai Yijun. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it." A middle-aged man with a mustache replied calmly.
Tang Wen discovered that Bai Yijun was almost as popular as Tang Chengzhong. He also stared at him fiercely and was extremely hostile.
Crack!
Tang Wen threw the token of General Zhengxi to him and inserted it into the table next to him.
Bai Yijun was stunned, glanced at the token, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Is this also fake?" Tang Wen asked.
"My subordinate Divine Bird General Bai Yijun has seen General Zhengxi." Bai Yijun had to stand up and clasped his fists.
When several other people saw it, they had to stand up and salute.
Tang Chengzhong frowned and stood up slowly, "I have met the prince."
Tang Wen strode over and stopped a foot away from Tang Chengzhong, staring at him.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please sit down." Tang Chengzhong's expression also changed, and he asked helplessly.
"I came here and found many burned tents and corpses. What happened recently? Who is attacking the people under my rule?" Tang Wen asked after sitting down.
"Your Majesty, this is the kingdom of gods and elephants.
They have been coveting the Divine Bird Grassland for a long time. This time they came here, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil!
The governor is also summoning us to discuss countermeasures. If we continue to kill them like this, the Shenniao Grassland will be over." Bai Yijun replied.
"Your Majesty, the situation is worrying. Our army of 20,000 to 30,000 people, which has suffered many casualties, cannot withstand the attack of the Divine Elephant Kingdom.
The Divine Bird Grassland can no longer resist for much longer, but the imperial court is currently fighting a war in the northwest, and there is simply no way to deal with the Divine Elephant Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that they dare to do whatever they want, killing our people in Da Chu and robbing our property in Da Chu," Tang Chengzhong said.
"Since you are discussing, have you come up with any good ideas?" Tang Wen asked.
"There is a way, but it is too difficult to implement." Tang Chengzhong said.
"Tell me about it." Tang Wen asked.
"It's to mobilize the power of several gangs in the Divine Bird Grassland to jointly deal with the Divine Elephant Kingdom." Tang Chengzhong said.
"How many gangs are there and how strong they are?" Tang Wen asked.
"Although Shenniao Grassland is not big, there are many gangs, and there are probably dozens of them in detail," Tang Chengzhong said.
"There's no need to talk about kittens and puppies, let's talk about the important ones." Tang Wen said, finding that the popular villain Tang Chengzhong was laughing sinisterly.
This guy is up to no good, and he probably wants to dig a hole for himself to jump into.
Glancing at Bai Yijun out of the corner of his eye, he realized that the guy was almost like a god. The popular villain was sneering at him.
I took another look at everyone present and found that they all looked like this.
It seems that Tang Chengzhong has been running the Shenniao Grassland for more than ten years and has managed the Shenniao Grassland like an iron barrel.
All his subordinates were his cronies, and even Bai Yijun, the garrison general, was roped in and colluded.
In this way, the Shenniao Grassland is like a country, and Tang Chengzhong is the local emperor here.
To conquer the Divine Bird Grassland, a major blood change is necessary.
"The three most famous gangs are the 'Black Flower Club', 'Daxia Sect' and 'Kangjiabao'." Tang Chengzhong said and glanced at Bai Yijun.
Bai Yijun immediately understood and answered, "Yes! The Black Flower Club is composed of refugees from all over the world.
The president is a woman named Jiuniang.
The hero sect acts as a hero, and the leader is hero Yun Yang.
Kangjiabao is headed by Kang Jingzhong, with many troops and many muskets in hand."
"The total number of these troops is hundreds of thousands, and there are quite a few masters among them.
However, just because there are experts, they are not very obedient.
Recently, the Elephant Kingdom invaded, and I tried to persuade them to fight against the Elephant Kingdom together. However, I, the governor, was incompetent in the past.
Alas... Now that the prince has arrived, that would be the best.
Your Majesty is also the general who conquers the west, so he can command and mobilize, and if he doesn't obey, he will be killed." Tang Chengzhong said.
"I believe that the prince will succeed if he takes action. Let us first congratulate the prince." Bai Yijun said.
"That's it, who is the prince? He is the real master of our Shenniao Grassland. What about these gangs? They are not the people under the rule of the prince."
"Yes! We support the prince in persuading them."
…
"Okay, General Bai, you can send a thousand people to go with me tomorrow." Tang Wen said deliberately, wanting to test Bai Yijun and see if this guy would listen.
"I obey the prince's order." Bai Yijun replied simply.
However, Tang Wen found that his popular villain had a mocking look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Bird Palace has been well preserved.
The subordinates specially assigned someone to take care of it, so it would be better for the prince to live in the original prince's palace.
Back then, the Yan family spent a huge amount of money to build it, I heard it cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver." Tang Chengzhong said.
"Yeah, that's fine." Tang Wen nodded.
"Then I will accompany the prince to the palace?" Tang Chengzhong said.
"No need, you are busy too. Defending the city is the most important thing. You can just ask me to accompany me for a walk," Tang Wen said.
"Yun Yao is the chief manager of the governor's office. It is most appropriate for him to accompany the prince." Tang Chengzhong said to a thin middle-aged man standing behind him.
"In that case, you can discuss it first, and I will go and settle down first." Tang Wen stood up.
"Your Majesty, please!" Yun Yao led the way.
"Jinyuan, keep the governor's office under my guard, especially Tang Chengzhong and Bai Yijun." Tang Wen sent a message to Wen Jinyuan.
"Okay, I'll arrange the drone right away." Wen Jinyuan responded.
The palace is about two miles away from the governor's office, and we arrived soon.
Tang Wen took a look and saw that it was really good and perfectly preserved.
Even the walls are in good condition, and when you enter the palace, you can see that it is quite clean inside. It seems that Tang Chengzhong is not lying about this, and there is someone special to take care of it.
After walking around, Manager Yun left for Tang Wenzhi.
