Chapter 135: City and Kingdom (2)

  "Awesome!"

  "My god!!"

  "Wow wow wow!!!"

  Seventh brother was counting when he would occasionally shout and scold, because this list really made him unexpected and unthinkable!!

  "I knew that Thirteen was quite something before, but I didn't expect him to be this incredible. He actually has so many unexpected assets under his name..."

  Third Brother was also idle and bored at this time, watching Ye Lang's things with Seventh Brother. Of course, it wasn't just the three of them, many others were also watching from the side because they too were curious and wanted to know how much wealth Ye Lang, that god-like spendthrift, actually had.

  "Dongming Lake Building's outer building, in recent years the most famous wine house on the entire continent of Xiangkong Empire, he holds 70% of its shares!!"

  "Xishan Iron Mine, recently discovered the largest iron mine, he alone owns..."

  "Anna's mercenary group, he actually has a share in it. Hmm, I've heard of this before, but it's still unexpected."

  "Lao Qi, these are nothing, if you see this, you will think it's even more amazing!"

  "What?! I'm shocked! This kid actually has another city!!! And it's one of the newly rising cities!!!"

  The document in Seventh Brother's hand was a contract that Ye Lang had somehow obtained back then, stating that the city lord would transfer ownership of the city to Ye Lang, with an absolutely unforgeable seal on it.

  That is to say, the first city Ye Lang obtained was not Ye City, but another one.

  Although it is said that Ye Lang's properties are diverse, most of them have one thing in common: they were all originally losing money and were things that others wanted to get rid of but couldn't. Ye Lang just wanted to take over and accept them.

  As a result, although many were still losing money and achieving his goal of bankruptcy, there were many industries that later turned around and became very profitable.

  So, when they were taking stock, they would say something like... "Old Seven, you've made it big this time. You can do whatever you want now, poor me, I'm just a lone commander with no one under me." Third Brother sighed, Seventh Brother had found his own interest, but he hadn't.

  He is a military genius, but this city is not on that route now, so how can he play? Besides, there are no troops under his command at present, not even one.

  "Don't worry, although we've established a free city, we also need to guard against others. There will be an army for you to lead, and I believe it will arrive soon. At that time, it's up to you!!" Ye Yi hadn't left yet, not because he wanted to hear something or say something, but because he was waiting for the servants to finish cleaning the house.

  "That's good, but there aren't any big wars here... sigh..." Third Brother got excited for a moment before immediately losing interest. Even if he were to conquer the entire surrounding area, it wouldn't be enough to pique his interest, as it wasn't even on the same scale as the small wars in the Xiangkong Empire, let alone their policy of non-aggression.

  "Third brother, why are you so stupid? There's nothing here. You won't go somewhere else. Here, just leave a batch of people to defend, and you can take people in the form of mercenaries to participate in the war. This way, you can both train soldiers and make money!!" Seventh brother said, pointing out the direction for third brother, and his other purpose was also very obvious - this is a path to wealth!!

  "Although your purpose is despicable, it's not a bad idea!" Third Brother looked down on Seventh Brother and added, "You'll provide the military expenses, while what we earn will go directly into the military expenses!!"

  “……”

  In this way, a strange mercenary group appeared on the mainland. They only participated in war missions and never did other tasks. What's even more amazing is that the casualty rate of this mercenary group was almost zero.

  Everyone knows that this mercenary group has a mysterious leader who seems to be able to see through everything on the battlefield, can predict danger and avoid all harm to them.

  It's not just the captain who is amazing, those mercenaries are also incredible, almost every one of them is a master, and they're different from ordinary mercenaries. There's a kind of tacit understanding between them, just like a real army, with very high coordination.

  This mercenary group, needless to say, was formed by Third Brother. High fees and high efficiency are their characteristics.

  And those mercenaries seemed to be the secret troops of the Ye family who arrived later!

  Early in the morning, everything seems no different from yesterday, but people and things are no longer the same!

  This time Ye Lang won this city, although it was hard for the original people of the city to accept, but there was a will left by Emperor Highfly as proof, so they had no reason to resist.

  But what if they were to resist, what if they refused to recognize the will of King Highfly?

  What kind of situation, perhaps unknown, but the result is always the same, Ye Chengtian and others will put the political power here into their own hands. This is also the reason why they have never considered whether the people of Yecheng would oppose or refuse to recognize it, simply because they are not afraid of not getting this city!

  Ye Chengtian and others also gave the outside world a message that this city will withdraw from the Thirteen Allied States because they do not want to belong to any power, they want to maintain neutrality.

  For this, there were also some frictions with the Twelve Nations, but under the strong operation of the Ye family, they finally gave up the idea of letting Ye City return and even wanted to cooperate with them in the end.

  Everything is going on in an orderly manner... in the dream..."Do you dare to see me? I thought you didn't want to see me!!" The girl in the dream looked surprised when she saw Ye Lang appear, but soon pulled down her face and said with great displeasure.

  "If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't have come!" Ye Lang replied nonchalantly, seemingly unaware of the other person's anger.

  "Hmph, you just don't want to come see me. It's already been 41 days and you haven't shown up even once. Do you know how long I've been waiting here all alone!!" the girl in the dream said angrily.

  "Forty-one days, didn't you just say that!" Ye Lang said somewhat dazedly.

  “……”

  The girl in the dream suddenly became speechless and didn't speak for a long time before saying: "Tell me, why did you disappear for 41 days?"

  "This I dare not say, once said, we will immediately wake up again." Ye Lang shook his head and said.

  "Oh, is this related to your identity?" The girl in the dream realized.

  Two people both knew that as long as it was related to their own identities, such a thing would happen and wake them up immediately!!
