Chapter 181 The situation is grim
In the early morning of the next day, a group of men and horses quietly left Jiangyuan City and headed for the direction of Baifu City.
At the same time, in various places in Jiangyuan City, the Su family set up strongholds one after another, and began to vigorously recruit loose cultivators, who were well paid, and those who came did not refuse. But it's a pity that rumors are spreading in the city, people are panicking, and there is a trend of wind and rain coming, and many people have fled Jiangyuan City in advance, far away from the land of right and wrong.
This situation is extremely unfavorable to the Su family, most of the warriors have a wait-and-see attitude, feeling that it is difficult for Jiangyuan City to survive this crisis, and maybe it will become cannon fodder in this war, and they dare not join the Su family, so there are few people who apply.
After a few days, the Su family has only recruited dozens of martial artists, and their cultivation is very low, so it doesn't play a role, and it's better than nothing.
The farther you go, the fewer and fewer people come to apply, and the courtyard is cold, and it looks particularly bleak.
There was no progress in the plan, in this unfavorable situation, the city lord of Su was helpless, in order to enhance his ability to quickly strength, after the continuous persuasion of the family's high-level leaders, he finally decided to start attacking the large and small families in the city, let these families contribute money and efforts, and send people to come over to defend the city together, and get through this difficulty together.
The city lord of Su promised that if he could survive this difficulty, he would definitely reward them heavily.
However, the rebellion of these families was very serious, which surprised the Su family, and they were extremely uncooperative with their recruitment, only the Liao Liao family reluctantly sent a few warriors over under strong persecution, symbolically cooperating, and the other families were completely indifferent.
In fact, these families are just special residents in Jiangyuan City, and they don't really care too much about who the ruler of Jiangyuan City is. Whether it is the Su family or the Han family, as long as it does not endanger their current situation, they are generally cold bystanders, and everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, how can they cooperate?
Although the strength of the many small families in Jiangyuan City is not very strong, in secret, they have joined forces to fight against the Su family, forming a great opposition force and posing a great threat to the Su family.
If you dare to come hard, you will be resisted by these families.
In the case of the innate powerhouse, it is difficult for the Su family to suppress the alliance of these families, even if it can really be suppressed in the end, it will be a heavy loss, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Suddenly, the Su family fell into a dilemma. If you really send people to suppress these families, I am afraid that the enemy has not yet attacked, and Jiangyuan City will be in civil strife first, which is the way to bring about your own destruction.
But if you don't send someone to suppress it, it seems that the Su family is too incompetent, and you must first settle the inside, and you can't even calm down the inside, let alone resist the offensive of the outside world.
The outside is overwhelmed by the army, and the inside is isolated, the situation of the Su family is not good, it looks more and more serious, most people think that they will not be able to get through this difficulty, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
A few days later, the group sent to White Castle returned.
In the main hall of the Su family, the city lord of Su and the senior leaders of the Su family met with this group of people together.
Commander Zhang, the leader of this team, reported the progress of the trip to the Su City Lord: "After we arrived at Baifu City, its city lord did not receive us, but met the young city lord of Baifu City. ”
"Young City Lord?" City Lord Su couldn't help frowning, he just sent a young city lord to meet him, and his attitude was self-evident in such a perfunctory way of hospitality.
"That's right, it's the young city lord. This person has already broken through to the innate realm, and his cultivation can't see through it, and he seems to be quite enthusiastic when he receives us. ”
"Oh, it's really surprising to break through to the innate realm at such a young age. City Lord Su couldn't help but be moved.
He didn't know much about this young master of Baifu City, he only knew that this person was very young, he should not be more than twenty-five years old, could it be a genius?
Commander Zhang continued: "We asked him for help, but he didn't seem to pay much attention to it. After some hard persuasion, he finally agreed to send someone to rescue, but he put forward several conditions......"
"What conditions?" asked the Su City Lord hurriedly.
"The first condition is to pay tribute to 10,000 spirit stones, and the second is ......" Commander Zhang swallowed, and didn't seem to dare to say it.
"What's the second one? ”
"The second condition is to give Miss Su to him as a concubine. Commander Zhang said in a low voice.
"What, give my daughter to him as a concubine?" said the Su City Lord, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong.
In the main hall, everyone was in an uproar. If it is just a proper proposal, how can it be so childish to make such a request? And it is still a concubine? This is obviously not to take the Su family in his eyes.
Commander Zhang seemed to anticipate such a reaction, and said, "That's what the young master of Baifu City said. ”
"Bastard thing! How can this be reasonable, it really annoys me!" Su City Lord turned pale with anger and scolded non-stop.
"This person simply doesn't take our Su family seriously, it's really arrogant!"
"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and when he saw Jiangyuan City in trouble, any cow, ghost, snake and god dared to jump out and step on it!"
Everyone scolded.
A high-ranking member of the Su family stood up and said: "I don't understand a little about this matter, Shizuka is suffering from Taiyin and has no cure, which everyone knows. Why would he want us to give him a dying man as a concubine?"
The other nodded, "Yes, I have that question." Although Miss Shizuka has now been treated by Li Qing's protector, the situation is getting better and better, and it is only a matter of time before she recovers. But the news did not spread, and others did not know that Shizuka was about to recover. Why did he make such a strange request?"
Commander Zhang said: "I also asked Young Master Bai Fu this question at that time, and he said....... But it's just for an overnight pleasure. ”
"What do you mean by asking for a night's joy?" Su City Lord's eyes widened, and he asked in a cold voice.
Commander Zhang said with a wry smile: "According to the original words of Young Master Bai Fu, I am going to die anyway, so it's okay to give me a refreshing look." ”
Everyone's faces were a little ugly, this person was really too rude. Dare to say such ugly words, obviously disregard for face.
City Lord Su's face was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, his daughter was his reverse scale, and the one who touched it died!
"I have heard for a long time that Bai Fucheng is incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, but I didn't expect it to be this virtue, which is really disappointing. Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet. Someone sighed.
"When they encountered this kind of thing, they finally tore the skin of benevolence and righteousness, no longer disguised, and showed their sharp fangs. ”
"How can this be reasonable, in vain we usually think that we have a very good relationship with Bai Fucheng, how do we know that such a hypocritical person is such a hypocritical person!" everyone condemned.
Someone asked uneasily: "What should we do with the current situation, which is chaotic on the inside and a large army on the outside, and the situation is extremely grim?"
Everyone felt a little confused, and in the face of absolute power, no amount of strategy was useless. Although they have tried many ways, it seems that the results are not very good now.
It seems that this time, it is really more auspicious.
The City Lord of Su calmed down, restored the majesty of the Lord of a City, and said lightly: "In fact, the battles of ordinary martial artists are only at the basic level, and the decisive battle still depends on the innate strong. In terms of innate powerhouses, there are two people, Li Protector and I, as long as we can repel each other, the problem will naturally be solved. ”
Everyone's spirits perked up: "That's right, there is also Li Qing Protector! He is so powerful, there must be a way to solve this crisis!"
"Li Qing serves as one of the protectors of our Su family, and it is natural for him to save the Su family, why don't the city lord ask him to help?"
Li Qing is extremely famous in the Su family, at that time, many people saw Li Qing suppress the five innate powerhouses with one hand, it was beyond their imagination, he was the real number one powerhouse in Jiangyuan City, with him here, maybe he would be able to get through the difficulties?
It's just that Li Qing generally cultivates in his own residence, rarely comes out and walks around, and outsiders don't move when they see opportunities, so they are not very familiar with it, and they are a little unsure in their hearts, will Li Qing really be willing to help the Su family?
Someone couldn't help asking, "I wonder if the city lord has discussed this matter with Li Qing's protector?"
City Lord Su shook his head: "Not yet, he is treating my daughter's terminal illness, and I don't want to disturb him in general." However, now that the situation has reached such a serious point, there is nothing I can do, and it is time to discuss the matter with him. ”
"Li Qing's Dharma Protector is not an ordinary person, and he may have different opinions. You might as well ask him for his opinion, Lord of the City. Someone said.
City Lord Su nodded: "Okay, I'll go and ask him." You must not lose your morale, because if you throw yourself into disarray, you will be showing a flaw, and perhaps the enemy will attack immediately. As long as we keep the situation stable, others will not dare to do it lightly. ”
He was boosting everyone's morale, and suddenly the atmosphere in the hall became better, and he was no longer depressed.
