Chapter 35: Punishment betrays hope and extinguishes
Under the vigilance of the guards in the city lord's mansion, a night passed like this.
The strange thing is that the Zhao family didn't attack for a long time, but just surrounded the city lord's mansion and didn't take any further action.
It's just that there seem to be a lot more people in the Zhao family today than there were yesterday, yesterday, they barely managed to surround the City Lord's Mansion, and now, they are more than enough for several laps.
Despite this appearance, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion had a smile on their faces, and it wouldn't be long before the reinforcements they invited would arrive, and at that time, the Zhao family would not have anything to fear, and this war would be over.
They were still worried that the Zhao family would launch a general attack at night, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to survive this morning, but what they didn't expect was that last night was actually Christmas Eve.
Even Cheng Xu's frowning brows relaxed a lot.
There must be a demon in this matter, Shen Yongchang wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Mingyuan's gourd, which seemed to confirm his thoughts, and Zhao Mingyuan's voice appeared at this time.
"Shen Yongchang, come out, Lao Tzu is merciful, let you live one more night, are you ready to die today?"
Outside the city gate, Zhao Mingyuan's loud and proud voice came in. Cheng Xu and Ling Jin immediately gathered on the city tower to find out.
Originally, it was nothing, but after seeing the person next to Zhao Mingyuan, they were all dumbfounded, Shen Yongchang even trembled, his whole face turned red, he was very angry now, and then, he felt a burst of shame.
The person standing next to Zhao Mingyuan was Wang Jingshan, the head of the Wang family!
Seeing this person, Cheng Xu couldn't wait to slap himself, before he proposed to send his family members to the Wang family for a while, but he didn't expect that the Wang family and the Zhao family were in the same group, so what he did before was not equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, that is, he himself pushed these people into the fire pit, and he was simply the biggest sinner.
"Old Ghost Shen, isn't he surprised, isn't he desperate, he didn't expect it. β
Just as Zhao Mingyuan was smirking out, Wang Jingshan interrupted him.
"I've come as promised, you hurry up and let my wife and children go, I did as you said!"
"Well, Brother Wang, as long as you cooperate with me to take the City Lord's Mansion today, everything is easy to say, and I am willing to set aside half of the territory for you to govern, what do you think?"
"You don't have to tell me about these things that you don't have, you just need to do what you said before, and in the future, our well water will not interfere with the river water. β
Wang Jingshan looked unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Mingyuan and Zhao Hongwei suddenly came to the Wang family two days ago, injured the only five Open Pulse Realm elders of the Wang family, and kidnapped his wife and son, as well as his two daughters, he would not have been in the same league with Zhao Mingyuan, the two of them would not have been eye-catching, in comparison, he was still more compatible with Shen Yongchang.
But there was no way, Zhao Mingyuan threatened to force Wang Jingshan to send warriors to help attack the city lord's mansion. Wang Jingshan knew that this was actually Zhao Mingyuan's way of doing this in order to weaken his own strength, but he had no choice, his wife and children were in Zhao Mingyuan's hands, so he could only agree.
Fortunately, Wang Jingshan still has his own standards for life, and he did not tell Zhao Mingyuan about Shen Yongchang leaving his family in the Wang family.
After listening to the conversation between them, Cheng Xu and Shen Yongchang both understood this matter, and they also knew that Wang Jingshan's words were said to the two of them, but they didn't know what Wang Jingshan wanted to do.
At this time, Wang Jingshan personally rushed up with more than a hundred disciples of the Wang family, and Wang Jingshan bore the brunt of it, jumped up, and reached the top of the city tower, and then, he made a gesture to the Lord of Shen City, telling them not to stop the people he brought.
In an instant, they understood, it turned out that Wang Jingshan's real purpose was to enter the City Lord's Mansion and help them fight against the Zhao family together, which was indeed the best choice for the Wang family.
If he chooses to help Zhao Mingyuan, then a lot of the strength of himself and the Shen family will be bruised, and the entire Meicheng will really be the monopoly of the Zhao family.
At that time, not to mention that his wife and children will not be able to live, even the entire Wang family may become the footsteps of the Shen family.
Therefore, compared with the former, Wang Jingshan still felt determined to help Shen Yongchang resist the attack of the Zhao family, as long as he held out until the reinforcements arrived, the Zhao family would be finished, and he could only gamble like this.
So, now the question is, how can they enter the City Lord's Mansion, after some consideration, he still chose this way.
In the previous conversation with Zhao Mingyuan, he deliberately told Shan Yongchang and them, wanting them to know that he was forced, and then he wanted to be the first to rush up and explain to Shen Yongchang that he would not hurt the people of the Wang family.
Fortunately, everything went as he thought, and after seeing Wang Jingshan's gestures, Shen Yongchang decided to believe them.
If Wang Jingshan really wanted to help the Zhao family, he would definitely tell Zhao Mingyuan about his family, and if the Zhao family brought these family members to the battlefield to threaten, then most of the people left by the Shen Mansion would probably leave the City Lord's Mansion, after all, those people had their own wives and children.
Therefore, when Wang Jingshan rushed up with the disciples of the Wang family, Shen Yongchang ordered not to attack them.
Looking at their situation, Zhao Mingyuan knew that he had been tricked, but he was helpless, Wang Jingshan's wife and children were still locked up in Zhao's house, and if they could not appear on the battlefield immediately, they would not be able to play a role at all for a while.
"Wang Jingshan, don't you want to die for your wife and children? How can you have such a cold-blooded father, you are not worthy of being a father!"
Looking at Wang Jingshan, who was fighting beside Shen Yongchang, Zhao Mingyuan laughed for a while.
"Do you think that's going to win? Hahaha, that's naΓ―ve. β
After speaking, Zhao Mingyuan waved his hand, and a group of people wearing black robes came out not far behind him, although these people only had Ming Jin, but the aura they exuded made people feel panicked.
This is the hundred dead soldiers selected by Zhao Mingyuan, and let his son Zhao Feng hand over all the immortal magic skills to them, after these few days of cultivation, they are now killing machines, not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, and without any feelings.
This is Zhao Mingyuan's real hole card, and it is also the key to his breakthrough in the City Lord's Mansion today.
But Zhao Mingyuan didn't let them attack directly, but clapped his hands.
Immediately after, a person appeared not far behind him.
When City Lord Shen saw the appearance of that person, he sat down on the ground in an instant, and even Cheng Xu, who was the most calm, could not calm down the fluctuations in his heart at this time.
That person is the punishment of the Shen family, Zhang Han's father, Zhang Kun.
