Chapter 1321 Force Them to Stay
The Cheng family discussed for a long time and finally decided to give it a try and cooperate with Prince Jun.
This is also a gamble.
If they win the bet, Prince Jun should become the emperor of Dongqing, and Dongqing will then reappear in the light of day.
Then those who chose to follow King Jun at this time can be said to have achieved the merit of following the dragon.
Don’t mention it, once they leave the Dark City, their lives will be better in the future.
They have been huddled in such a city, and no matter how hard they try, they can only compete with City Lord Yu for the position of lord of the city.
There is no future if we continue to guard this city.
Everything is coming to an end.
City Lord Yu is becoming more and more short-sighted and cannot see these things at all.
"The Master Fu next to Prince Jun is also a man of great talent. I will go talk to him first." Cheng Yunjian said to his father, "As for the people who followed us, please go and talk to them."
These people have always been united together. At this critical moment of decision, Cheng Yunjian must ensure that everyone is united in mind and purpose, so as not to stab them in the back.
"Just go ahead, I will talk to them nicely." Father Cheng also knew that this matter was of great importance.
In the past, everyone was blocked in a city, and human life was still very important, so there was a rule in the Dark City that anyone who dared to kill or burn would be the public enemy of the people in the city and would be punished by slow slicing.
Even if there is a fight, no one dares to kill anyone and will still spare the other person's life.
After all, one death is one less person.
This may be the best rule in Dark City.
But after City Lord Yu got a bit older, his backyard became a mess, and the families of his wives and concubines often fought with each other for power and profit. Anyone who offended them would suffer a miserable end.
In the past two years, more than ten people have died at their hands.
Cheng Yunjian and his men could hardly bear it any longer, but City Lord Yu and his men had the blueprints of the Dark City's mechanisms, knew the secret passages of the Dark City like the back of their hands, and controlled the Dark City's weapons. Without help, it would be very difficult to overthrow City Lord Yu.
Now Cheng Yunjian and the others are pinning their hopes on Prince Jun.
After Fu Jinchen got the news, he prepared to come out of the City Lord's Mansion to meet Cheng Yunjian.
But when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the guards.
"The city lord has ordered that the distinguished guests please stay in the mansion and not wander around," said the guard.
Fu Zhaofei's face darkened. "You want to imprison us?"
"I dare not." The guard continued, "It's just that the people in the city have never seen outsiders. Your sudden appearance has caused some panic and suspicion. The city lord is afraid that someone will be rude to the distinguished guests and get you hurt, so he asked you to stay in the mansion."
"So, it's good for us?" Fu Zhaofei asked with a sneer.
The guard actually nodded, "The city lord really does care about you all."
Fu Jinchen said calmly, "We took the initiative to visit before, and we didn't live in the city lord's mansion. The city lord said yesterday that we were welcome to look around. We walked around the city for a day yesterday and everything was fine."
"Yes, how could there be any people who would do something bad to us?" Fu Zhaofei followed.
"We wanted to say that the city lord managed the city well, the dark city was in good order, and the people could live and work in peace," Fu Jinchen said, "but today there was suddenly panic and suspicion?"
This guess is that City Lord Yu saw that they were disobedient and difficult to control, so he wanted to keep them under guard.
Are they trying to force Prince Jun to marry Yu Xian'er?
"The people are stupid and may change their minds within a day. Just because they didn't do anything yesterday doesn't mean they won't do anything today." The guard still had an expressionless face and stopped them from leaving.
They even clenched their spears, ready to use force if Fu Jinchen tried to force his way in.
