Chapter 280: Battle and Negotiation in Front of the Palace of the Dead City

Murong Xian had the experience of fighting side by side with Liu Xun on Turtle Spirit Island, so he quickly understood the meaning of Liu Xun's words.

She said abruptly: "Money, power and power may be able to attract people to follow, but this is an outside way after all. If there is no good and evil in the heart, it will eventually become a kind of beast, and everyone will betray and leave, and the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Murong Xian's family fell in the middle of the road, and when she entered the Xuantian Sword Pavilion, she saw through the hot and cold state of the world, and the hearts of the people were cold and warm. She finally understood Murong Qing's good intentions, and now she is no longer a caged goldfinch, but a seagull in the rain.

Liu Xun nodded and said: "There is a lot of help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, so I have to save them, even if I sacrifice my life!"

Man and beast are no different from the beginning of birth, but the difference lies in the acquired learning, when human nature suppresses animal nature, man is man, vice versa is a beast!

And so it is with the beasts!

Li Dong is waiting, he is waiting for the moment when the city will run out of food! When that moment comes, where will hundreds of thousands of people go?

The people of the dead city are accustomed to living a life of arrogance, but they are suddenly exhausted of money and ammunition, what kind of thoughts will such a big gap make them?

Li Dong was not curious, because he knew the result, and Yin Ting also knew the result, and Liu Xun also knew the result!

The Dead City has given them decades of peace and tranquility, and they will naturally be grateful and praised, but this gratitude will gradually pass with the years, until finally they take it for granted.

They would think that they were the ones who made the Fallen City so beautiful, and how could the rulers have lived such a luxurious life without their contributions?

That's what it is!

Prolonged extravagance awakens greed in their hearts, and they begin to blame and envy, and they even scold why they can't provide greater benefits, and even have the idea of changing their faces.

A certain philosopher once said, "When a person is full of food and has nothing to do, he feels that the whole world has treated him badly!"

There is also a proverb that once said: "Dou Mien bear the revenge!" When they take all this for granted, it is the time of betrayal, and the drunken life of gold fans gives them the heart to seek good fortune and avoid evil, they regard themselves as the protagonists, so they will never choose to advance and retreat with their homeland!

They may even blame "it" for getting them into the flames of war and displacing them. So they naively threw themselves into each other's arms, and shouted: "You are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"

There was a bored man who did such an experiment, he had a dog, and every day he would provide him with a good meal, a cozy house, etc., but his neighbors would occasionally deliver some scraps to the dog.

After some peaceful passage of time, one day the two neighbors quarreled, and the dog actually helped the neighbor bite his master.

However, when the dog wags its tail to the neighbor to ask for credit, all he gets is the neighbor's abandonment and the owner's discouragement, and he becomes a stray dog.

The reason why Silent City Uzi chose to burn the grain in the city was because he didn't want to leave it to Li Dong, and the other reason was that his heart died!

There were hundreds of thousands of people in Silent City, but Li Dongjun at that time was only 100,000. Although the cultivation of the common people is weak, Li Dongjun has nothing to say, many of them are just villagers in the mountains and wilderness, and they are indiscriminate.

Therefore, Feng Yuxiu was unable to capture the silent city at that time, and there was also a reason for this.

With 5,000 troops, Uzi was able to fight Li Dong's 100,000-strong army for several days, and even killed him to the ground, and he was embarrassed and returned home.

But what about the people of Silent City? They did not shout Yang Wei for these bloody soldiers, nor did they stand up and fight side by side, they chose to live their lives in silence and comfort.

Because they are waiting, waiting for the moment when the city is broken, into the arms of the new master!

Uzi's combat power, the strategy of the dog, if the people of Lonely City are united, fighting together, hating the same enemy, and having enough food and grass, even if they don't win, they will not be defeated so embarrassed.

However, the reality is so cruel, so Uzi is dead, he wants to let the dog prickly see the vast world, but the dog prickly heat did not get out of the dark alley in the end, he chose death, but he also left his light in the world, even if there is no one to pay tribute to.

The body of the dog prickly heat is gone, but the spirit stays for a long time, and it is not in vain to come to this world to walk!

Listening to the wind and discussing the statecraft with Liu Xun that day, it seemed to be an unintentional move, but it was actually a hidden mystery, because the core of this discussion is how to appease people's hearts?

Liu Xun chose the law of a small country and a widow, in fact, it is to cut off people's killing hearts, harmony, stability, tranquility and nature, which can make the animality in people's hearts gradually disappear, and the avenue of inaction is this truth, when a person has no desire, there is no dispute, there is no need to control, and no control is the highest level of control.

Tingfeng understood that people's hearts were unfathomable, so he chose Li Dong, who was "like-minded" with him, as his partner. Because Li Dong unreservedly revealed his desires, he did not hide his yearning for power, and what he chased was freedom, so the two coincided.

At that time, in the central hall of the Dead City, representatives from all walks of life gathered together.

The leader of the bearded man stood up and said in a deep voice, "Yin Thunder City Lord, do your undead army and mercenary team have the ability to get food, and do they have the ability to protect the lives of everyone including me?"

Yin Ting glanced at the dozens of delegates in the audience, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head and said: "The flood has not receded, it will take some time!"

The bearded man said leisurely, "Oh, how much time will it take?"

Yin Ting said: "It will take ten days for the flood to recede, and our sergeants are already trying their best to clean up the mud and rocks of the grain road, and it will also take ten days!"

The bearded man sneered, "In other words, grain can be transported in ten days?"

Yin Ting nodded and said, "Not bad!"

The bearded man suddenly shook his hand angrily and said, "Ten days? The flood has already destroyed all the grain we have stored, let alone ten days, even if it is three days, it will be difficult to support it again!"

Yin Ting asked coldly, "Then according to what you said, what should you do?"

The bearded man laughed, his eyes were instantly cold, and he sneered: "The lord of a city, one of the five generals in the past, but now he asks me, a pig killer and a wine seller, what should I do?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and many people pointed at Yin Ting, but no one in the huge hall stood up to speak for them.

Yin Ting sneered: "The city is not my alone, so whoever has a good plan can naturally put forward it, I ...... It's very democratic!"

The bearded man waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he clasped his hands to his chest, and said proudly: "Since the city lord said so, then the little people don't dare to disobey!"

Yin Ting spread his hands and gestured, "Please speak!"

The bearded man asked, "You can no longer protect our safety now, do you?"

Yin Ting nodded, the bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger and said, "But there is one person who can!"

"Oh, yes, who is he?" asked with a smile.

The bearded man glanced at Yin Ting, who was sitting on the throne, and said coldly: "Of course it's Marshal Li of the rebel army!"

Yin Ting was noncommittal, he sat comfortably on the throne and looked at the bearded man with a smile, which made the bearded man's back spine slightly cold, Yin Ting's murderous celebrities were well known, but at that time, there was someone behind him to support him, and it was difficult to ride a tiger.

At that moment, he was bold and shouted: "Marshal Li has promised to provide us with food, and promised not to embarrass anyone!"

"And what are his conditions?" asked Yin Ting, with no expression on his face covered in strange runes.

The bearded man said loudly: "The conditions are also very simple, you only need to lead your undead army to withdraw from the dead city, and never set foot in this place again!"

Yin Ting shook his head and said, "The dead city has been surrounded by Li Dong, and Benjun can't get out if he wants to!"

The bearded man snorted: "Don't worry, Marshal Li has ordered General Chen to withdraw to Ningcheng, you can lead the sergeants to withdraw from the West Gate safely, and Marshal Li guarantees with his personality that he will not be guilty of the sins you have committed!"

Yin Ting nodded, "It's a good idea, but what about you? After all, the Dead City is a very democratic city!"

"Our opinion is the same as Wang Tu's"

Everyone glanced at each other, and soon someone raised their hands in support, like a spark of fire, forming a united front, and Wang Tu also looked triumphantly at the gloom on the throne.

Yin Ting glanced at everyone and sighed, he stood up and walked behind the scenes, "Tell Li Dong that I will withdraw from the West Gate as agreed tomorrow, and ask him to keep his promise!"

"Of course!" the bearded man was overjoyed, and even took the opportunity to persuade the gloomy thunder to be lowered, "Lord of the City, I will definitely suffer the curse of the slaves of Bifrons if I wait for a long time." Now that Marshal Li is doing the right thing for heaven, why don't you work together with us and others to support the new king?"

Yin Ting didn't stop, as if he hadn't heard the bearded man's voice at all, and the big man snorted softly: "I don't know how to lift!" and congratulated everyone, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

Of course, there are also visionaries who reminded: "Be careful of the sudden reversal of the Yin Thunder, you must not forget the lesson of the Silent City!"

The bearded man said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, we are not comparable to those low-class pariahs in the Lonely City, which one of them here is not a high-class person? The sergeant of Yin Thunder has already surrendered to us, after all, no one can resist the temptation of money and the threat of death!"

The city was about to be destroyed, and those sergeants had already disagreed, and Wang Tu and others even promised heavy benefits, so they easily rebelled against all the sergeants.

Today's Yin Thunder has nothing to rely on except for the 5,000 undead army! Because the undead army is composed of half-orcs, these half-orcs have low intelligence and have long been trained to be killing machines, so they can't rebel.

Now that the Dead City is flooding, the Undead Army is already struggling, so it is easy for the rebel sergeants to monitor their movements, and they are difficult to pose a threat to themselves.

Yin Ting returned to his residence without saying a word, Wang He was already waiting there, with a slight smirk on his lips, and the two looked at each other before walking away.

Fifty miles away from the south city gate, Li Dong sat in the position of the commander, and Tingfeng, Situ, Chen Shui, Yan Yan and other generals were all present and sat on both sides.

"Tomorrow will be the real showdown!"
