When the two returned to Jincheng, it was already dawn. (.)

The father and son of the city lord got up early in the morning, and when they saw the two of them return safely, their high hearts finally put into their stomachs.

Wang Taiji asked his subordinates to bring a sumptuous breakfast, and after breaking everyone down, he arranged the sound barrier in the restaurant.

Xiao Chen told the original things he had discovered, focusing on Suo, Lu, and *** It is very likely that they will defect to the Pantheistic Sect.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little tense, after all, the three did not take the initiative to join the Pantheism, and no one dared to guarantee whether they would collude with the Pantheism in the end. So how to deal with this matter is a very tricky problem.

Wang Xuanye smiled bitterly and said: "There are capable people in the Pantheistic Sect, we can't deal with it with a little means, we are already estranged from the other three families, but we can't take any action in advance because they may defect to the enemy, if it doesn't work out, the result will be that our Wang family will force them to rebel." ”

Wang Taiji also thought of this, if things are done too much, it will have a bad impact, but if they don't do anything, won't they watch the three families collude with the enemy.

The eyes of the father and son turned to Xiao Chen at the same time, hoping that he could give a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

The little marquis shrugged: "Don't look at me, I really have no choice, the city can't do the same hatred, and the enemy's strength is so strong." ”

Wang Xuanye said unwillingly: "Is there really no way at all?"

"It's a big deal, when the two of you take the initiative to open the city and surrender, hehe. He laughs.

The joke didn't help, and the atmosphere was still somber.

For five days in a row, there were no attacks in Jincheng, and most people thought that the Pantheistic Cult was poor in donkey skills, and everyone poured into the streets to celebrate.

Wang Taiji sent a large number of people to monitor the three major families, but he gained nothing for a few days.

Although he did not receive direct evidence, he still believed in the pervasive Pantheistic Sect, and had already contacted the heads of the three families.

In the secret room of the Suo family, Soklon looked at the twenty boxes of gold in front of him, his eyes lit up.

Standing across from him was a middle-aged man, dressed as a businessman, but his resolute gaze revealed that he was a high-level soul warrior.

"How about the Suo family master, you shouldn't doubt our sincerity now, right?" the middle-aged man smiled faintly.

Soklohn put away his greedy gaze, looked directly into the other party's eyes, and said, "I have always supported the Pantheistic Sect to enter the city, but I was forced by the city lord to oppose it, so I had to stand on the opposite side of your sect. Since your religion is so sincere, the contemptible people must believe in the Pantheistic Religion with their whole family, and if the noble envoy has any orders, the contemptible people will definitely go to the soup and die without giving up. ”

"Okay, the head of the Suo family is really a person who knows the times. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "When we destroy the Wang family in one fell swoop, I will definitely promote you to be the new city lord." ”

Soklon was overjoyed: "Thank you, envoy. By the way, what is the attitude of the Lu family and the Ma family, if they can also join, it will be easy to win the Wang family. ”

The middle-aged man smiled very meaningfully: "Don't worry, the master of the Suo family, they have the same attitude as you." ”

"Did you give them the same amount of gold?" Soklon's face changed.

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "It's sent, but it's not as much as it is given to you, the Lu family has 120,000 taels of gold, and the Ma family is 80,000 taels." Although our Pantheistic Sect pays attention to treating everyone equally, if it is really the same for everyone, it may not make the hearts of the strong people cold, right? ”

Soklung immediately smiled: "That's right, your sect is very good at doing things, and I admire it very much." ”

......

Xiao Chen stood at the top of the City Lord's Mansion basking in the sun, and Medina handed a bunch of grapes to him and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's been a little quiet these days, and it's a little confusing. He took the grapes, plucked one and put it in his mouth, savoring it.

"yes, it's a little too quiet. The beautiful princess walked to the low buttress next to her and said, "Originally, you and I came here to take refuge, but I didn't expect to get involved in the battle with the Pantheon, or let's change to a quieter place." ”

The little marquis stretched his waist and said, "I want to too, but at this moment of crisis, if you and I leave, it seems a little unrighteous, after all, the father and son of the Wang family are good to us." ”

"Brother Chen Xiandi is really a loyal and righteous person. Wang Xuanye's voice sounded, and two strong guards brought him up with a chair.

The guard put down his chair and turned away in a tacit understanding.

Wang Xuanye continued: "But Brother Xiao Xian, Jincheng at this time is indeed too dangerous, and there is no need for you and Medina to get involved, so it is better for my brother to persuade you to leave." ”

Xiao Hou Ye spread his hands: "But we have already been involved, and besides, I didn't like the Pantheon Sect from the beginning, and your father and son also listened to me at the beginning, so they were their enemies, and I must take care of this matter to the end." ”

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they know each other very well, and when Wang Xuanye heard him say this, he no longer insisted on anything, and said: "If I guess correctly, at least two of the three major families have completed negotiations with the enemy, and a big battle is about to begin." ”

Xiao Hou Ye smiled and said, "In my opinion, the three families should have been taken down by the Pantheon Sect. ”

The young city lord raised his eyebrows: "How can you see it?"

He explained: "Haven't you noticed that the attitude of the three families towards the city lord has become more and more respectful in the past few days, it is because they have a weak heart. Why is your heart weak, you must have done something sorry for the city lord. ”

The young city lord felt that his analysis made sense, shook his head and said, "How did they collude, the people sent out by my father didn't even notice it at all, a bunch of waste." ”

Medina spoke: "Not necessarily, people don't want us to know in the first place, and they will use all kinds of methods to avoid the people who are watching. ”

The little marquis suggested: "It's time to increase the number of guards in the City Lord's Mansion, I believe they will do it in the next day or two." The city gate could not be guarded, because Jincheng had four city gates, two of which were in the hands of the Lu family and the Suo family, and they could completely open the city gate and let the enemy in. It is better to let the lord of the city transfer the main force home, lest the time arise for a two-front battle, and the enemy will easily divide us into two parts that cannot be taken into account. ”

"Okay, I'll go to my father right away. ”

As the little marquis expected, the three family masters ordered at the same time that night, and the soldiers who had already been ready to go out of the barracks and set off from different directions to march into the city lord's mansion.

The street was quiet, but it was immediately broken by the sound of boots hitting the ground, and the infantry followed closely behind the cavalry.

Because it was a siege battle, the cavalry could not play a big role, and their task was to block the royal reinforcements coming from the city gate.

As everyone knows, as early as daytime, Wang Taiji had already transferred all the elites back home, and only the old and weak soldiers remained at the city gate and city wall.

According to the agreement between the three families and the Pantheon Sect, they are responsible for the main attack task, and the masters of the Pantheon Sect will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and find an opportunity to kill Wang Taiji and his son.

The south gate guarded by the Suo family was opened, and dozens of Pantheistic masters rushed in.

In the City Lord's Mansion, even Wang Xuanye, who had been a waste for five years, wore golden silk soft armor, and the guards hidden everywhere held strong crossbows, and all the crossbow arrows were quenched with poison.

On the surface, the City Lord's Mansion was no different from usual, the heads of the three families stood on a high tower, they looked at each other, Soklrong raised his hand to pick up the signal flare, and gave the order to attack.
