Chapter 414 Sell?
Burileg didn't say a word, just stared wide-eyed at everything in front of him.
Similarly, the border city lords and junior commanders who came with him also witnessed what was happening before their eyes.
Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief...
Shen Huaichen, on the other hand, was in a better state, his expression calm.
Burileg glanced at the calm Shen Huaichen and quickly shut his mouth as well.
As the saying goes, no matter where you are, never let others know your truest thoughts...
However, Burileg's respect for Shen Huaichen deepened even further.
Look how amazing the gentleman is!
It's amazing that you can sit still after seeing such a scene!
Someone who's seen it all! It's like they've witnessed this scene hundreds of times...
The other city lords, however, did not notice Shen Huaichen's calm expression.
They watched everything they saw without blinking.
In front of them, about two miles away, was a mountain.
Oh, this is Regulus.
That's Leigu City, which was occupied by the Dayu army.
They are currently on the outskirts of Regu City.
Just now, several soldiers from the Weiyuan Army pushed a round watermelon-shaped fire mine over in a cart.
Those city lords who were chosen by lot, feeling they were unlucky, frowned slightly upon seeing him.
This is no different from the watermelon thunder that we bought from the Northern Hu Imperial Court before!
Um...it seems a little rounder.
Although everyone was a little disappointed, they still showered Chang Shenggong with compliments.
Since starting business in the border town, people have become increasingly valuing social interactions, which they used to disdain.
Saying a few nice words won't hurt you.
If it benefits me and makes others happy, then I might as well say a few more words!
Chang Sheng Gong also showed that he enjoyed these flattering words.
Soon, everything was ready.
The city lords were just about to shift their positions to relax when a deafening explosion rang in their ears...
The city lords were so frightened that they stood up on the spot.
As they craned their necks to look ahead, they saw a plume of black smoke rising from the mountain they had seen earlier.
It was also accompanied by some firelight.
This was both fried and burned...
When the black smoke cleared, what came into view was a small hill that had been blown up...
The ground was littered with rubble, and there were scattered flames...
The first reaction of the city lords was to incorporate that small hill into their own border city.
If such a powerful bomb were to strike their border city...
There must have been wailing everywhere, and the entire city must have been destroyed!
But what if these fireballs were to strike the Northern Hu imperial court...?
Everyone immediately became excited.
"Congratulations to Changsheng for acquiring such a powerful weapon!" Burileg was the first to stand up.
Upon seeing this, the other city lords suppressed their shock and stood up along with Burileg.
"Congratulations, Lord Changsheng!" The city lords all cupped their hands in congratulations.
Chang Shenggong stroked his beard and burst into laughter.
"Congratulations to you both!" Chang Shenggong said with a smile.
Burileg and the city lords were puzzled when they heard this.
What's there to celebrate! They don't have any explosive mines that can blow up mountains.
Could it be that Changsheng Gong wanted to give them two?
Haha, it's best not to dream in broad daylight...
Chang Shenggong slowly walked up to everyone and looked at the small hill that had been bombed.
"Your Highness, as you can see, Dayu has the ability to protect the border city. Everyone can rest assured and do business with Dayu without worry," Changsheng Gong suddenly said.
Burileg nodded, then cupped his hands in a salute to Changsheng Gong.
"With the General's words, I am relieved!"
"Your Highness can rest assured."
"Everyone has finished reading. I've prepared some drinks. It's rare for us to get together, so please do me the honor of having some!" After saying this, Chang Shenggong led the way into Lei Gu City.
Since the ever-victorious sage has said so, everyone will definitely follow suit!
However, everyone's mindset was completely different at that moment.
"Your Highness, you said those watermelon bombs won't be used against the border city?" A city lord whispered to Burileg.
“No!” Burileg said firmly.
"Why?" The city lord was somewhat skeptical.
"Because of the mess, the abandoned border town of Dayu looked down on it."
What if one day Dayu attacks the border city?
"That means the Great Yu Dynasty felt there was no need for the border city to exist," Burilege said solemnly.
The city lord kept asking questions...
That seems to make a lot of sense.
The abandoned border city of Dayu seems to be completely ignored...
"Your Highness, if we want to buy this kind of fire bomb, would the Everlasting Victory Guild be willing to sell it to us?" Another city lord came over and asked.
“This…” Burileg was also unsure.
"I am not the ever-victorious Duke, and I do not know the specific thoughts of the ever-victorious Duke."
"How about we have a drink together later and you ask around?" Burileg said.
The city lords exchanged glances.
Just ask! The chances are slim, but what if...?
Anyway, they have plenty of money right now, so they can offer a high price and drive the price up.
What if the ever-victorious Duke is tempted...?
And so, everyone enjoyed the banquet immensely.
When everyone had drunk their fill, the new city lord of Wuyun City, emboldened by the alcohol, suddenly started wiping away tears in front of Changsheng Gong.
"General, you have no idea how miserable life is for us border townsmen!"
"Our city of Dark Clouds is suffering!"
Chang Shenggong, who had drunk a bellyful of plain water...
You're suffering, so what? Why are you nagging me? I'm not your mother...
"General, you have no idea, I witnessed the old city lord being killed by the dog emperor of the Northern Barbarians!"
The old city lord was wholeheartedly concerned for the people of the city.
In the end, the whole family met such a tragic end!
Whenever I think of the old city lord's tragic death, I feel...
"Waaah!" The Lord of Dark Cloud City suddenly burst into tears.
Chang Sheng Gong.......
"Alas! Please accept my condolences! If the old city lord were alive, he would surely be very happy to see how well you have governed Wuyun City." That was all Changsheng Gong could say.
After sobbing for a while, the Lord of Wuyun City suddenly blurted out some words.
"General, are you selling your fire bombs?"
If it's for sale, we're willing to buy!
As you know, my city is in a special location. When the Northern Hu army arrives, my city will be the first to be attacked.
You have to sell me a few!
I must protect this city for the old city lord!
