This is the only feasible way that Zhu Shiming racked his brains to come up with after Zhang Fan left, although in front of the immortal cultivators, everything he did was so ridiculous, but this was the only life of his Zhu family, he could only hold it firmly, and he couldn't just give up.

The big family is the big family, and the big son is the big son, this plan not only includes sowing discord, but also includes driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and combining the vertical and horizontal!

This has fully reflected Zhu Shiming's mind and the city government, if Zhang Fan is here, he will definitely applaud Zhu Shiming's plan!

Because even Zhang Fan, in Zhu Shiming's position, can only do this.

The subsequent development of events was expected by Zhu Shiming, as soon as a group of troops in the city left the city gate, they were killed by the people of the eight major families in an instant.

These eight families began to have no scruples, and after killing the people in the army, they all shouted in their mouths, they are here to destroy your Zhu family.

Although it was expected by Zhu Shiming, it still made him feel cold.

It seems that what Zhang Fan said is right, these eight great immortal cultivators are really their arrogance!

Throughout the afternoon, led by the Zhu family, Wu, and Xie, these two dozen small and medium-sized families also began to transfer people to "level the bandits", because at this time they all knew that now they were in the same boat, and no one could get off.

In just one afternoon, each of them suffered heavy casualties, especially the Zhu family, which can be said to have taken out all the family resources, and the "bandits" on the opposite side also left hundreds of corpses, among the "bandits", there are many masters of internal strength, there are five hundred masters above the tenth layer of the cultivation period alone, and in terms of quality, his Zhu family can also be compared, but he is a family, how can he compare with the aggregation of the upper eight.

At this moment, whether it is the Zhu family, or Wu, Xie, and the rest of the more than 20 small and medium-sized families, plus the generals and officials of Zhu Cheng, they are very aware of the current situation, as long as Zhu Cheng is broken by these "bandits",

Then no one in the whole city can run!

"Ah~~!"

A terrible scream came from the top of the city, and it was heard far and wide in the silent night, but neither on the walls nor outside the walls, it was as if they had not even heard it, and they did not even pay attention

Zhu Shiming gently slapped his palm a few times, his originally handsome face became a little haggard, but he still smiled, as long as he walked through, the children of these twenty small and medium-sized families would immediately straighten their chests, looking at this twenty-year-old young man's eyes, full of admiration and admiration.

In this dark night, he has solved more than a dozen people who sneaked in, with the respect of the eldest prince, he actually personally patrolled the city, and the people who came to attack, all of them were solved by him, if it were not for the superb martial arts of this eldest prince, I am afraid that they would not even be able to rest now.

By the way, it's my birthday.

A thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and the smile on the corner of Zhu Shiming's mouth became a little bitter.

In previous years, the royal family would send people to congratulate him on his birthday, but now.....

"Hey. He sighed, his eyes looking at the tired faces, and his heart was extremely heavy.

Then he turned his gaze again, and saw the blood stains on the city wall, as well as the cracked gaps, even if he wiped them with water, he couldn't wipe off these city walls that had condensed into scars, no matter how much he repaired them, he couldn't fix these gaps.

As early as when these "bandits" killed officers and soldiers, Zhu Shiming had already written more than ten letters, sent the fastest horses, and the fastest people were sent respectively, and the goal was very simple, the palace.

The content of this letter is very simple, the bandits are attacking the city, and the people in the city are panicked and ask the court to send troops.

The underlying meaning is simple, show loyalty, and by the way, see how the royal family reacts.

This move seems useless, but it will add points to the impression of the royal family, no matter whether the royal family sends troops or not after reading it, the Zhu family has already expressed its attitude, and then presumably the other members of his Zhu family should not suffer too much, after all, there are many people from his Zhu family in the court.

Pessimistically, Zhu Shiming is already preparing for the future.

Because the strength of these "bandits" is too strong, and they come too quickly.

"Ming'er, I'm tired. ”

A voice with a sense of concern came out, Zhu Shiming looked back, and saw his father striding over, and behind him, there were two grandfathers standing, looking at him with a smile on their faces.

This Zhu Chuanbin, Zhu Shenghuai, and Zhu Shengji did not see any bleak and desperate color between their eyebrows, as if revealing a kind of relaxation.

When the people of the other families around saw the demeanor of these three people, they couldn't help but be shocked, and the bleak aura seemed to have disappeared a lot.

"It's just a few bandits, and I'm not tired. When Zhu Shiming saw their performance, he immediately understood why, nodded, and replied pretending to be relaxed.

Immediately, the four members of the Zhu family tacitly walked to another gap at the head of the city, the people who handled it here were the people of his Zhu family, Zhu Shiming looked at him, and the people of the Zhu family who were originally guarding here immediately understood what the son meant, and then bowed deeply and left quickly.

At the head of this city, the four core figures of the Zhu family are gathered, even if the people guarding here retreat, they will definitely not let a "bandit" break in, because these four can be regarded as the most powerful force in the entire Zhu Dynasty!

The other guards all looked towards the four of them, but it was pitch black, and they couldn't see it very clearly.

His eyes had been projected on them, and Zhu Shiming knew that these people were looking at them, so he immediately lit a torch, and a ball of fire instantly shone on the faces of the four members of the Zhu family, and the relaxed smile made everyone see it clearly.

At this moment, the four of them can be said to be the backbone of the entire resistance to the force, if they show a little sadness, it will immediately affect the morale of these people, if they are not seen by these people during the negotiation, it will cause these people to be suspicious and panicked, so Zhu Shiming has no choice, and immediately lit a torch, and the other three are also people with a clear heart, how could they not understand such a simple truth, so when they faced Zhu Shiming and lit the torch, they immediately understood that the ease on their faces was not reduced at all, and they were all happy.

It's just that the smile on Zhu Chuanbin's face has not changed, but the words in his mouth are not funny at all: "Ming'er, things are getting worse and worse, and the people of the eight major families have begun to gather people." ”

An indifferent voice came, and Zhu Shiming immediately replied: "Yes, it seems that they will soon launch the strongest offensive. ”

His eyes looked at the gap, and he continued: "This time, I'm afraid I really can't resist it. ”

This pessimistic sentence came, which directly caused a trace of sadness and approval to flash in the eyes of the other three.

"Because of this, I discussed it with your two grandfathers and made a decision. Zhu Chuanbin said abruptly.

"What decision?" Zhu Shiming's words trembled slightly, and he had already vaguely guessed what the content of this decision was, but he still asked in order to confirm.

"Ming'er, since you know Mr. Zhang, everything you have done has been very good, my father always thought that you were a child who didn't understand anything, but your performance clearly proved to me that you are the most talented person in my Zhu family for thousands of years, not only martial arts talent, but also mental city, life and morality, benevolence, righteousness and morality, you have brought me a great surprise, the Zhu family has a son with you, it is really a blessing, and it is even more happy to have a son with you for my father. ”

"But this time, my Zhu family is probably in a catastrophe, you also told me about this immortal cultivator, for immortal cultivators, for the father, I also know a little, this group of people has the most terrifying power in heaven and earth, although Mr. Zhang has gone to fight these eight people, but the outcome is unpredictable, I have discussed with your two grandfathers for a long time, and I have already thought of a way out for you, Ming'er, from now on, you are the head of my Zhu family. Hurry up and take advantage of the darkness to return home, we have prepared all the precious items in the house for you, and there are twenty loyal and strong guards to escort you from the secret passage of the family to escape from here, leaving a legacy for my Zhu family. ”

"As long as you are here, my Zhu family will turn over sooner or later!"

I guessed it!

When Zhu Shiming heard this, his heart was shocked, and his whole body couldn't help trembling, but his movements were very slight, and in the eyes of others, it was just a very casual action, so he didn't let others misunderstand.

He asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, it is to fight to the death, Ming'er, you know everything, and I won't explain much to you anymore, you should understand, my Zhu family's thousand-year-old inheritance is carried on your shoulders, after escaping, don't think about revenge, you must be patient, you must have a lot of children, until my Zhu family has a person who cultivates immortals, and I am making plans, and there are ......"

These words kept coming out of Zhu Chuanbin's mouth, which contained a father's love and rigor of family inheritance, although there was a smile on his face, but in his eyes, he showed complex emotions of concern, love, seriousness, and reluctance.

Zhu Shiming listened to his father's words, his whole body began to tremble slightly, he took a random step, and then turned his back to other people who were looking at him, and at the same time, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he changed the color of anxiety and anger.

I only heard him lower his voice and said: "Father, I will definitely not abandon you, and besides, this matter is not necessarily hopeless, we still have Mr. Zhang!"

"Hurry up and let me go!" Zhu Chuanbin heard his son's words, and immediately roared, although there was a smile on his face, the eagerness and anger in his words clearly expressed his denial of Zhu Shiming's words!

"I'm not leaving!" Zhu Shiming also roared.

"You ......" At this moment, Zhu Chuanbin couldn't say anything angry, just looked at Zhu Shiming blankly.

"Brother Zhang has already gone to fight the Eight Great Heavens, and when he left, he said that if he hasn't come back for three days, he can give up hope!" Zhu Shiming said categorically, and his attitude was very tough.

"But now that the situation has changed, it will be difficult for this Zhu Cheng to hold on for even a day! If you don't leave at this time, it will be too late!" Zhu Chuanbin immediately said.

"In that case, let's go together. ”

When the three members of the Zhu family heard this, Zhu Chuanbin immediately said: "Ming'er! At this moment, you are shouldering the position of the head of the family, and you must consider the continuation of the Zhu family, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if several of us retreat at the same time! First, these people who resist will lose their fighting spirit! They will not be able to resist this attack at all! Second, these people will have to be killed by the people of the eight major families, or they will turn around and kill us! Third, as long as we have more than one person, we will inevitably attract the attention of the other party, and we will not be able to run away at all!"

Zhu Shiming's eyes showed a strange look, and said: "Father, two grandfathers, I know your intentions, and I understand everything you said, but I don't know if you have ever thought that if Brother Zhang is unfortunately beheaded by the eight immortal cultivators, how can I escape?" The other party is an immortal cultivator, there must be some means that we don't know, moreover, these twenty or so people from small and medium-sized families are all characters who have experienced a lot of ups and downs, all of them are scheming, they have been staring at me, as long as I am here, it proves that the Zhu family has not yet made up their minds to escape, but if I disappear, they will immediately surrender without a fight, and then they only need to say that they are forced by my Zhu family, and at the same time give up a large part of the benefits, these eight major families are impossible to kill them all, after all, the combined power of these small and medium-sized families is also very strong。 ”

"And when the time comes, not only will you die in vain, but I won't have time to escape!"

When the words came out, the hearts of the three members of the Zhu family were half cold, yes, what Zhu Shiming said was not wrong at all! They still underestimated these people from small and medium-sized families, and this plan would not work.

"Now the life and death of my Zhu family depends on Brother Zhang, although I also don't like to put my life on others, but now we have no other way but to do this, if someone can dress up like me, there is still a glimmer of life, but the appearance can be changed, the internal force and breath fluctuations cannot be changed, father, I have long thought about what you think, it is useless. ”

"What should I do then!Ming'er, you are the last hope of my Zhu family!" Zhu Chuanbin said hurriedly.

"I have a dangerous way, in case we can't wait for Brother Zhang to come to help, the city will be broken, these more than 20 family heads will run away immediately, and then I will wait for a few people to directly tell the secret path in the clan and go together!"

When the words landed, the three members of the Zhu family looked at Zhu Shiming with puzzled eyes, why did they tell them the secret path of their clan? Although they were confused and anxious in their hearts, they did not interrupt Zhu Shiming's words, and just waited quietly for Zhu Shiming's next words.

And Zhu Shiming's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light at this time, and he continued: "The family secret passage leads to the northern country, but there is not only one secret passage!"

When the three members of the Zhu family heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"In fact, as early as last year, I had already observed that the family situation was not right, so I proposed to build a secret passage, but my father vetoed it at that time. ”

When Zhu Chuanbin heard this, his guilt flashed, and Zhu Shiming knew that time was precious at this time, so he just continued: "After being vetoed by my father, I have no right to mobilize people, so I can only use my most heartfelt guards to open up a secret passage in the secret passage and dig out a secret passage that can lead to the mountains and forests! At that time, after I equal these twenty people enter the secret passage, I will lead the way, father, grandfather, you must follow me, when you reach the destination, we will flash directly into the path I dug, and at the same time blow up the entire secret passage!"
