Honglian’s younger brother Yuan Yan couldn’t help but speak.

As for the remaining seven cities, every branch was obtained by him and his brothers’ lives, so how could he be willing to give them up?

“There is no such thing as being willing or unwilling. As long as we can have the last laugh, everything will be ours.”

“Focusing on the gains and losses in front of us will only make us lose more and greater amounts.”

Honglian suddenly turned her head and looked at her brother Yuan Yan in a lecturing tone.

This time Yuan Yan was speechless, because he knew that what his sister said was right.

“Well, what you said is correct. Being able to think so far ahead is indeed worthy of the position of the Tang Sect elder.”

“But this reduction in strength must be planned. My Tang Sect never likes to suffer losses. If they take over our four branches, we must double our efforts to take them back immediately.”

“Since you want to shrink your power, why don’t you take Lu Yuancheng as well?”

“You know, it’s only less than a hundred kilometers away from us.”

As Tang Lan spoke, he picked up a pen and circled the location of Lu Yuan City on the map on the table.

Luyuan City is located less than a hundred miles north of Feiyan City, but it is the largest city within a radius of 500 miles.

Within the territory controlled by the empire, Luyuan City has always been known as the capital of Luling County.

On weekdays, all orders issued are from Luyuan City and sent in batches to surrounding cities of all sizes.

The size and total resources of a Luyuan city are more than enough to match the sum of three small cities.

“What? You mean, take the initiative to attack and take down the branches of the three forces in Luyuan City?”

“This is such a bold idea!!”

After understanding Tang Lan’s plan, the Honglian siblings looked at each other, their eyes shrinking violently.

Tang Lan was the first person they had ever seen who could make such a bold and domineering decision.

But Honglian still had to remind him at this time: “Our branch in Luyuan City is very weak. It was established less than a year ago and has not gained a firm foothold in the local area at all.”

“In addition to our four forces, there are four other forces in Luyuan City. Everyone knows it and restrains each other. In addition, the City Lord’s Mansion has issued a clear ban, so there has not been any major disputes for the time being.”

Honglian gave Tang Lan a brief introduction to the current situation in Luyuan City.

In her opinion, Luyuan City is indeed a good place, but it is also extremely difficult to intervene in it.

If the noise is too loud, they may even be suppressed by the City Lord’s Mansion or driven out of Luyuan City.

However, this time, Tang Lan, Tang Ya and others all laughed.

No matter whether it is the token of Shrek Academy or the token of Tang Sect, both can make the City Lord’s Mansion show some courtesy and dare not interfere in the disputes in the soul master world.

“We naturally have ways to prevent the City Lord’s Mansion from interfering in the matter, and we can even get them to help us secretly.”

“And the three forces will definitely take the lead in annexing our forces on the periphery in the near future. What we need to do now is to mobilize all of our people from the remaining ten cities back.”

“They would never have thought that we would raid their garrison branch in Luyuan City.”

“By then, half of Luyuan City will be in our hands.”

Tang Lan’s voice suddenly carried a touch of majesty, causing everyone to stand up involuntarily.

The Honglian siblings bowed respectfully towards Tang Lan, and then said together: “Yes, we will do it!”

At this moment, everyone’s blood was boiling.

If Tang Lan’s plan succeeds, the strength of the Tang Sect and Yunshang Yaju, which is affiliated with the Tang Sect, will not only not weaken, but will even be greatly enhanced.

If they occupy Luyuan City, their future development will be smooth and they will become increasingly powerful.

The meeting lasted nearly three hours before Honglian hurriedly left with her brother Yuan Yan.

We should urgently go and mobilize the members outside to rush back.

The next night, news came from the spies at Yunshang Yaju.

The four cities of the outermost Yunshang Yaju have been forcibly captured by the three forces.

However, the soul master of Yunshang Yaju had already left the branch one day in advance, leaving only an empty shell for the other party.

Almost everything that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned in a fire. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 940: Night Visit to the City Lord’s Mansion

All that was left to them was an empty shell, with only a few ruins inside.

The people from the Tang Clan had already entered Luyuan City the day before.

Before dawn the next day, the people from the Tang Clan had already appeared on the street dressed in black.

According to the location given by Honglian, the three forces were in different streets. The farthest one was about ten miles apart, and the other two were only four miles apart.

Two of them are in East City and one in South City.

The City Lord’s Mansion is located in the North City, so Tang Lan went there specifically to meet with the City Lord of Luyuan City.

“Outsiders are not allowed to enter the City Lord’s Mansion. Leave quickly if you know what’s best for you, or I’ll call for help!”

The guard standing at the door saw Tang Lan, Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao walking towards the door, and immediately reminded them in a bad voice.

In his view, these people were just some young people in the city looking for excitement.

If they break into the mansion, the guards will be punished by the city lord.

“Tell your city lord that there is a guest outside the door who wants to see you!”

Tang Lan had a calm expression as he spoke to the guard.

“Huh? Which academy are you guys from? How dare you keep making trouble here!”

“If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being rude!”

Another guard, Tang Lan and others, were still unwilling to leave.

With a gloomy face, he raised the spear in his hand and walked towards Tang Lan and others.

“Humph, if you dare to do that, I think you are tired of living!”

Ma Xiaotao’s hot temper was instantly ignited. Without thinking twice, she reached out and grabbed the spear in the guy’s hand, then kicked him out.

With a bang, the armored guard was kicked away by Ma Xiaotao and hit the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion heavily.

“What’s going on? Quick, someone broke into the City Lord’s Mansion without permission, capture them!”

When the guards who were patrolling not far away heard the fighting here, more than twenty guards came running towards Tang Lan and others.

Tang Ya looked helpless at the moment. It seemed that her original idea of ​​a gentle negotiation was not going to work.

After half a stick of incense,

boom! !

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the City Lord’s Mansion.

It turned out that Tang Lan had punched the door of the inner courtyard and was about to charge into the courtyards at the back.

“Who, who on earth is it? How dare you be so bold!”

Soon, a middle-aged man who had just put on his clothes in a panic came to the front garden accompanied by his confidants.

“City Lord Qu Heng, you have such great authority! Why don’t you take a look at what this is?”

Ma Xiaotao snorted, then threw out a Shrek Academy token in her hand.

After taking the token, the city lord named Qu Heng looked at it carefully for a moment, then his whole body was shocked and his face was full of horror.

But before this guy could speak, Tang Ya threw a token to him and said, “There’s also this!”

One side is the token of Shrek Academy, and the other side is the token of Tang Sect.

After seeing the two tokens clearly, Qu Heng, the Lord Mayor of Luyuan City, fell to his knees on the ground.

He then quickly begged for mercy, saying, “I didn’t know you gentlemen were here. Please forgive me!”

Then, in front of the guards around him, he kowtowed solemnly to Tang Lan and others.

The current Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En, is the honorary imperial teacher of the Tianhun Empire.

He was the teacher of Emperor Tianhun, who once redeemed the entire Tianhun Empire with his own strength.

These people have offended Shrek Academy. If the higher-ups find out, even if he is the lord of a city, he will probably be thrown into jail.

After all, if Mu En is made unhappy, the Tianhun Empire will fall into crisis again in the future and he will just stand by and watch.

Then the entire Tianhun Empire will be wiped out on the continent, especially when the Tianhun Empire is weak now.

The Tang Clan also had done great favors to the empire in the past. The emperor had issued a decree requiring every city in the empire to give as much convenience as possible to the Tang Clan.

Unexpectedly, after so long, nothing happened to him, but tonight trouble came to him, Qu Heng.

“Hmph, now you admit your guilt?”

“But our congratulations are not to punish you, but we need your help with something.”

“Come on, let’s go in and talk.”

Ma Xiaotao and Tang Lan looked at each other, and after getting Tang Lan’s approval, she walked up and patted the city lord on the shoulder, motioning him to stand up and speak.

In the room of City Lord Qu Heng, Tang Lan and others sat casually around the tea table.

Tang Ya then came straight to the point and said, “Yun Shang Ya Ju has become affiliated with our Tang Sect. The Crazy Lion Sect, Purple Bamboo Pavilion, and Fengyue Tower attacked Yun Shang Ya Ju’s headquarters.”

“We have already started suppressing and fighting over the other four divisions. This vengeance will definitely be avenged by our Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.”

“What you need to do now is to tell your city guards and city defense forces not to get involved in this matter.”

“Tonight, these three forces will completely disappear in Luyuan City.”

It was quiet. Although there was a faint candlelight in the room, it was still dim.

Qu Heng’s eyes widened at this moment. He never expected that these young men in front of him would be so cruel.

But after thinking of the two tokens, he could only grit his teeth and make up his mind to promise: “Please rest assured, the city defense army and the city lord guards will definitely not appear in the area where these three forces are tonight.”

“But please try not to harm the civilians around you.”

Qu Heng saw the seriousness and determination in the eyes of Tang Lan and others.
