Seven days had passed, and there was actually not a single person in Tianwu City who had registered to join the army.
Everyone was afraid of the power of the Four Great Clans. He didn't dare take the risk. Everyone was watching, what would the Marquis of Tianwu do?
Do you want to be willful or do you want to compromise with the Four Clans?
”I never thought that the forces of the Four Clans in Tianwu County would be so terrifying. Not only the Tianwu City, but not a single soldier from the other four cities has been recruited. ” Zuo Qianjun was so anxious that he could not sit still.
The five cities in Sky Martial County had returned to Qiao Nan's control, but there were only a thousand men left to manage the five cities.
”Young master, aren't you in a hurry?” Zuo Qianjun looked at Qiao Nan who was seated on the chair, and actually held a brush and was practicing his calligraphy, as though he did not care about the situation in Sky Martial County.
”There's no use being anxious. Let's wait for Uncle Zhang to come back first.” Qiao Nan did not raise his head, he only focused on the paper in front of him. He had quite the demeanor of a big family.
Unfortunately, in this world, only strength was important. Everything else was nonsense.
”Young master, this old servant is back.” In the darkness of the night, Uncle Zhang's entire body was enveloped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes peeking outside, as if he had merged with the darkness of the night.
”Uncle Zhang, you're finally back. The young master has already waited for you for an entire day.” Ever since Uncle Zhang left, Zuo Qianjun accompanied him here and waited for his return.
”Gentlemen, please take a seat.” Qiao Nan finally stopped writing, and his tensed body relaxed.
”I, Qiao Nan, am right. As long as you help me snatch the North Mountain mine outside of the Luo Family's city, Sky Martial City will definitely take control of it, and our four families will split the debt secretly.”
”Each of you three families will receive thirty percent, and the Tianwu Mansion will receive ten percent.”
Amongst the four great families, the Luo Family was the strongest and occupied many mines. Among them, the North Mountain Mine was the largest. The other three clans had long since been envious.
Once the four great families joined hands, it was indeed difficult for Qiao Nan to move an inch within the Tianwu City.
All things considered were benefits. As long as there were enough benefits, even if it was hatred, it could be temporarily put aside.
”Right now, this marquis has no one on his hands. There are only two hundred men that can be deployed in the city, and they can't even fight against the North Mountain Mine. Therefore, your three families must send someone to take down the North Mountain Mine.”
”I will send some men to follow behind us. Once we succeed, your three families will immediately retreat. My men will immediately occupy the Northern Mountain Mine. Once the Luo Family retaliates, your three families must do everything in their power to help me.”
Tianwu County originally had a thousand soldiers and horses, and they needed to arrange for the four cities as well as the Tianwu City to maintain order. The ones that could be deployed were the four hundred soldiers and horses in the city, and two hundred of them were for defense.
The three black robed men looked at each other, risking their lives to fight with the Luo Family for the North Mountain mine was already a huge risk.
”The Northern Mountain Mine allows you to secretly intervene, and the benefits will be obvious. Don't worry now.”
The three black robed men nodded their heads. They had long been envious of the Northern Mountain Mine, but no matter who it was, they would definitely suffer a counterattack from the Luo Family. As for the official power Qiao Nan represented, although it was the weakest, it was just enough to control the Luo Family.
”Alright, our three families will agree to this matter. Master Hou, when do you plan to take action?”
