Chapter 1319 A Disorganized Group
With Xiao Lanyuan's current military strength, it is not realistic to surround the entire Dark City.
In fact, Dark City is not small.
However, after Fu Jinchen took a look around, he discovered something that was beneficial to them.
“We don’t need that many troops.”
Fu Jinchen said to Xiao Lanyuan, "It may be because the exit of Dark City has been blocked for a long time, and there is no threat from outside, so over the years, they have long neglected military training. In the city, those officials and soldiers are also very lax."
"They still practice martial arts, but they are mostly used to fight in the city, or to fight against wild beasts that may rush into the city. So they don't actually have any experience in fighting enemies, and they don't have much discipline."
Xiao Lanyuan summed up his words, "In other words, Dark City is actually a mess."
"Yes." Fu Jinchen nodded. "City Lord Yu has become a local rich man, and he doesn't have much of a sense of the overall situation. It's not difficult to deal with him."
"There is a special guard team in Dark City. I heard that it was formed spontaneously by other people in the city. I heard that the leader's grandfather was from the Imperial City. He brought people to Dark City to do business. He happened to encounter an accident, so he stayed."
Lu Jinchen said, "The only one we can cooperate with now is this escort team."
Xiao Lanyuan was very impressed that Lu Jinchen was able to find out so much information in a short period of time.
If he wasn't so capable, how could he have hidden Shen Qiao for more than ten years, not only without being caught by him, but also without falling into the hands of the Shenyi Sect.
He is indeed capable.
"What is this man's name? What does he want?"
Fu Jinchen said, "His surname is Cheng, and his given name is Yunjian. His family has some prestige in Dark City, but he is also quite smart. Over the years, he has never really had a major conflict with the city lord, and has always managed to make a big deal out of a small one."
"No matter how you try to make a big thing small, it has accumulated for so many years and it has almost come to an end." Xiao Lanyuan probably understood Cheng Yunjian's thoughts.
There is no new blood being injected into or circulated in the Dark City, and each family and force has almost taken shape.
The City Lord may not be able to tolerate them any longer. It won't be long before there is a big fight between them and the City Lord's forces.
It is still unknown who will win by then.
Moreover, open-minded people will definitely be excited and ecstatic when they learn that the Dark City has been opened. They will not stay in the Dark City anymore and will always go out to see what is outside.
The Cheng family should also want to return to the imperial city to trace their roots.
In the past, it was impossible for them to come to the Dark City with their entire family. Some of their family members and clansmen remained in the Imperial City, which was their hometown.
That being said, Cheng Yunjian is very likely to cooperate with them to capture the city lord.
"Let's discuss it."
While Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Jinchen were discussing how to take over the Dark City, people from the Cheng family were also discussing it in another part of the city.
This is indeed a big deal for them.
"From what I have observed, Prince Jun will not agree to marry Yu Xian'er."
Cheng Yunjian's sister Cheng Yunrou expressed her opinion.
Cheng Yunrou and Yu Xianer were of similar age, and there were only so many people in Dark City, so naturally they knew each other. Moreover, the man that Yu Xianer was originally engaged to was Cheng Yunrou's childhood sweetheart, and the two families had a verbal engagement before.
However, after City Lord Yu took a fancy to that family, he forcefully betrothed Yu Xian'er to him.
This also caused Cheng Yunrou to break up with her childhood sweetheart, and from then on she and Yu Xianer were incompatible.
This time, there were outsiders coming into the city, so the Cheng family naturally kept an eye on them.
Cheng Yunrou also tried to find out.
"Yu Xian'er is one of the prettiest girls in the city. Perhaps Prince Jun would like her?" Mrs. Cheng said.
