Soon, Zhang Yupeng led people to the city union and asked to see the president by name.
His purpose is also very simple:
Ask the city's union to uphold justice and let the Sun Federation return Bayue City!
The city guilds did not refuse Zhang Yupeng's request, because they themselves were the guardians of order among the cities.
If the war can be prevented, they would naturally be happy to see it happen.
So not long after, Yang Tianzhi, the president of the City Guild, came to the Yanyang Federation, hoping to meet Xiao Yang.
When the president of the city guild arrived in person, Xiao Yang did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to welcome Yang Tianzhi into the reception room.
In the reception room,
Henry Zhang faced Yang Tianzhi, smiled lightly, cupped his fists and saluted:
"President Yang, this is our first meeting. Nice to meet you!"
"Leader Xiao!"
Yang Tianzhi also solemnly returned the gift.
"I wonder why President Yang came here this time?"
After the two sat down, Henry Zhang asked.
Yang Tianzhi sighed and said: "I think Alliance Leader Xiao should also know that the duty of our city union is to protect the peace between cities."
"Yeah." Henry Zhang nodded.
"In this case, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Our city guild hopes that Alliance Leader Xiao can return Bayue City and stop this war!" Yang Tianzhi said directly to the point.
Hearing this, Henry Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't show too much surprise.
After all, he had roughly guessed Yang Tianzhi's intention before this.
"Did Zhang Yupeng ask you to come?" Xiao Yang then asked.
"Leader Xiao has misunderstood. The Golden Federation is not qualified to ask our city guild to do anything. However, this war has caused too many casualties. If Alliance Leader Xiao is willing to cease the war, I am willing to mediate between Yanyang and the Golden Federation.
, reached an agreement." Yang Tianzhi shook his head and said.
"Regarding this war, I would like to ask President Yang if he knows the causes and consequences?" Xiao Yang asked again.
"This... I'm not sure." Yang Tianzhi still shook his head.
"A few months ago, our Sun Federation was just a small Bronze-level city. We had been suffering from oppression and bullying from another Silver City. We finally defeated the oppression, but were immediately surrounded and suppressed by the Silver Federation."
Xiao Yang looked directly at Yang Tianzhi, paused, and continued: "After that, the Golden Federation came again after hearing the news and asked us for huge protection fees. If we didn't pay, they would impose economic sanctions on us, and we would have to sit on the mountain.
Empty.”
"President Yang, under such circumstances, do you think we should fight back?"
His words were so precise that they left Yang Tianzhi speechless for a moment.
"Sorry, I don't know yet that there are so many hidden secrets in the Yanyang Federation before this."
Yang Tianzhi showed a bit of a wry smile, then sighed and said: "However, the war has developed to this point, it is better for both sides to stop."
After Henry Zhang was silent for a moment, he asked: "President Yang, I would like to ask, when a strong federation or city encounters a crisis, it can seek help from the city guild, what should the weak city do?
"
Yang Tianzhi was a little confused and replied: "If a weak city encounters a crisis, of course it can also ask the city guild for help."
"But if a weak city is just being bullied, will the city guild take care of it?" Xiao Yang continued to ask.
"this……"
Yang Tianzhi frowned and muttered: "If it is just oppression, it is not within the scope of the city guild's obligations."
"But often the destruction of weak cities is caused by such oppression, but no one comes to rescue them, and they can only disappear from the public's sight in the end." Xiao Yang said solemnly.
Hearing this, Yang Tianzhi's expression became a little solemn.
Indeed, as Henry Zhang said, although their city guilds are the maintainers of order between cities, the problem is that on the Xuanwu Continent, the stronger cities will always have more say than the weak ones.
In other words, if a big city wants to, it can use a hundred ways to make a small city disappear without disturbing the city guild at all. This is the reality.
"The problems mentioned by Alliance Leader Xiao are indeed caused by our city guild's negligence. After I return, I will definitely make rectifications and pay more attention to the small cities on the mainland from now on!"
Yang Tianzhi hugged Henry Zhang and said in a sincere tone.
"President Yang, I can hear that you really want to change these problems, but it's not enough." Henry Zhang shook his head and said.
"Um?"
Yang Tianzhi was stunned again.
"The reason why I want to fight to the death with the Golden Federation is not just because of the hatred between the two federations, but also for a deeper reason." Xiao Yang said with a meaningful tone.
"What's the reason?" Yang Tianzhi asked quickly.
"Just some time ago, I received a secret report from my subordinates, which recorded many bad deeds of the Golden Federation."
As Henry Zhang said, he took out a scroll from the cabinet on the side and placed it in front of Yang Tianzhi.
Yang Tianzhi unfolded the scroll and found that it was the secret report that Xiao Yang said.
"This Golden Federation not only preys on the people, but also secretly engages in countless dirty deeds, including human trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, issuing large amounts of usury loans to civilians, etc. I don't know how many people have lost their lives for this."
"Moreover, the most outrageous thing is that Xiang Yupeng, an ally of the Golden Federation, takes away a large number of boys and girls every year to conduct some unknown service activities. After the activities, all the boys and girls are missing.
Thinking about it, he should have died long ago."
Looking at the secret report in his hand and listening to Henry Zhang's words, Yang Tianzhi's whole body was trembling.
He didn't expect that this Golden Federation would be so heartless!
This also made him feel sincerely ashamed and sad!
The Golden Federation did such an unscrupulous thing right under their noses, but their city guild was completely unaware of it from beginning to end. This was simply a huge dereliction of duty!
"Leader Xiao, is this secret report of yours true?" Yang Tianzhi couldn't help but ask.
"When things have reached this stage, what's the point of me bringing out a false secret report? Moreover, as to whether it is true or false, President Yang will find out after sending someone to find out." Xiao Yang said lightly.
"No need, I believe you." Yang Tianzhi shook his head and said.
Just when Yang Tianzhi was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of the reception room.
When I opened the door, I saw a soldier walking in, saluting the two of Henry Zhang:
"Lord City Lord, there is someone outside asking to see President Yang!"
"Who?" Henry Zhang asked in confusion.
"It's a group of people!" the soldier replied.
"A group of people?"
Henry Zhang and Yang Tianzhi couldn't help but look at each other.
"Let's go and have a look."
With that said, the two of them also came outside and found that the open space in front of the gate was already full of people.
After seeing Yang Tianzhi, these people also shouted immediately.
"President Yang!"
"President Yang!"
Yang Tianzhi asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
"We are all citizens of Bayue City!"
"We are here to intercede with Alliance Leader Xiao!"
The people of Bayue City talked a lot, telling all the misdeeds of the previous city lord Yang Yuan, and praising Xiao Yang's wisdom, saying that they and others had voluntarily joined the Sun Federation and had not been oppressed.
"Leader Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so popular among the people!" Yang Tianzhi said with a smile.
"President Yang is too generous. I just did what I should do." Henry Zhang shook his head and said.
"But the things you say you should do are not something many people can do."
Yang Tianzhi sighed, and then said with a flash of light: "Leader Xiao, I came here originally to stop this war, but at this moment, I changed my mind!"
"Not only will the city's union not stop this war, it will also help you, the Sun Federation!"
Regarding Yang Tianzhi's change of attitude, Xiao Yang smiled and shook his head and said: "President Yang, I appreciate your kindness, but for the attack on the Golden Federation, the Sun Federation alone is enough. If something happens in the future, the city
