When Murong Xu heard this, the dry food he had eaten in his mouth suddenly disappeared.

He looked at Chu Qingge, his voice a little dull: "Who told you...?"

"Does anyone need to tell me?"

Qingge hummed, a little disagreed.

"I'm afraid that only the people from your four major families know that, and that, among the four major families, are the ones with the most power."

Murong Xu didn't say anything, his face calmed down.

Qingge said again: "You know what the tribute is."

This is a tone of affirmation.

This time Murong Xu didn't speak anymore, and continued to hide herself in front of her, as if there was no meaning to do much.

Although this girl is young, she is too meticulous.

It is not easy for anyone to lie in front of her unless she has decided from the very beginning that she can trust you.

And I was obviously not within her trust.

After a long time, Murong Xu said depressedly: "Aunt Chu... Master, I have no intention of hiding it, but there are some things I cannot make decisions, and I cannot tell you without authorization."

"I don't plan to ask you about the secret of the tribute. I'm just curious. Is the power of your four major families really reaching the point where you can't stand without relying on foreign aid?"

"not necessarily."

"But it's almost done, right?"

Murong Xu turned his head and looked at her.

My lips moved and wanted to say something to refute, after all, I was unwilling to accept it.

Back then, because they were guarded by four major families, they were famous in the surrounding cities that no one dared to offend.

But over the years, for some reason, the industries of the four major families, various business and travel activities, and industrial development have either been intercepted or destroyed.

After he was silent for a while, he looked at her and said, "As you expected, there are insiders in the four major families."

This matter started three years ago when their fleet was attacked by an unknown organization.

The fleet was attacked, and the cargo and ships were directly robbed, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

After that, business travelers were attacked and all the same goods were robbed.

After being robbed, there was no news.

In fact, everyone knows that the two cities next door are interfering, but there is no evidence.

In addition, various accidents have caused people from the four major families to deal with, and they are in a very passive state.

Over time, the strength of the two cities next door became stronger and stronger. However, their financial resources in the Dragon City were not sustained, and their military power gradually began to weaken.

"Even the crew members of the general business travelers and fleets know that most of the routes are issued by the team leaders' temporary notice."

Qingge slowly gnawed the dry food while staring at meditating.

"There are frequent accidents in your team, that is, the team's route has been known for a long time, and the other party has prepared for it and set up an ambush."

"That's right." Murong Xu mentioned this and his big palm became tighter and tighter.

In the eyes, hatred and anger ignited.

"If I know who dares to betray us, I will definitely let you die without a burial place!"

"The key is that you are unable to protect yourself now, so don't mention whether you take revenge or not."

Qingge's words are not ironic.

Isn’t it just a sensation that I sent tribute to the Imperial City this time?

"If there is no foreign aid to help you, I'm afraid you won't wait for your revenge. As long as you find the right time, you will have enough power to razend you to the ground, right?"
