Chapter 39: Reaching an Agreement
"It's really cheap for you to let you die like this!, then the three of you, let's bury him together!" The words dripped, and they saw that Hong Xin was dripping all over his body, and in the eyes of the Sima elders, he seemed to be like a demon who had escaped from hell, which made them shudder!
But the instinct of the body drove them to retreat to a safe distance immediately, and they couldn't care about the patriarch's corpse at the moment, so they ran away. They know very well that although there is only a line between the five-fold mountain and the six-fold mountain, it is like heaven and earth, as long as Hong Xin really wants to do it, it will only take a little time to kill the three of them!
With a sound of "Huh~", Grand Elder Sima only heard the piercing sound of breaking wind coming from behind him, and thought in his heart that it was completely over! But at the moment of such thought, another sound galloped in front of him, and it seemed that a strong man from the Six Mountains had arrived in time......
Then a sharp sound of "bell" came out, and that Hongxin was directly repelled by more than ten meters! When everyone shifted their eyes to that person, they all unconsciously gasped!
"City Lord, what are you doing here?" Hong Xin relieved himself and asked when he saw Nangu gradually putting his calves down.
"It's nothing, I just heard that you and Sima Huihong had a fight, so come over and have a good time!" Nan Gu's face was natural, and he couldn't find any strangeness. But this seems strange, it stands to reason that the City Lord's Mansion is not as powerful as the three major families, but it has to maintain the balance of the three major families and is mainly responsible for fighting heresy, what is he here for?
"People, I've already beaten and killed! Now, it's just a matter of cleaning up the portal!What's the matter? City Lord, do you want to get involved?"
"Killed?" Nan Gu frowned, looked around, and really didn't find Sima Huihong, he couldn't help but be shocked at the moment, and then took a closer look on the ground, and sure enough, there was a headless corpse lying there!
"You...... You're so bold, don't you still think about destroying the door?" Nan Gu's face was a little ugly, and he glared at Hong Xin and asked.
"Those who offend my Hong family will be punished even if they are far away!" With a snort in his mouth, Hong Xin turned into a streamer of light and rushed straight towards Nangu! And the blue tendons on Nangu's forehead had already burst out, and his vitality gathered on his slender legs, and he met it with a kick without mercy! Between punches and kicks, there was no stalemate, and Hong Xin was directly kicked out half a hundred meters away!
The iron fist gloves on his fists were shaken and trembled, and they were shattered when they trembled! The feet of Hongxin's fists were still smoking, and it seemed that this blow had completely provoked Nangu.
"Nangu, what do you mean? Do you want to use the power of your City Lord's Mansion to compete with my Hong family? For the big family, the City Lord's Mansion is a fart! You have to think clearly about the fate of being my enemy!" Hong Xin had already killed red eyes, and where did he pay attention to the tone of his speech.
"Yes, you're right, the City Lord's Mansion is indeed incapable of arguing with the three major families, but Lao Tzu is now talking to you as the ninth leader of the Central Alliance! You are a small family that can be regarded as a fart! Lao Tzu ordered you to withdraw with your people now! Otherwise, the Central Alliance wants your Hong family to be wiped out within a day! Get out!"
While scolding Hong Xin, Nan Gu took out a token and shot it out of his hand, which was caught by Hong Xin. Hong Xin took a closer look, and his face turned pale, and even his eyes that were originally red became normal. A pair of trembling hands, he really couldn't imagine that Nan Gu had such a powerful identity in addition to the city lord!
Trembling and returning the token in his hand, Hong Xin was like a child who had done something wrong, he was so subdued that he didn't dare to let go, so he had to obediently take Elder Hong and leave the Sima clan......
After Hong Xin and the others left, Nangu cleaned up his stirring heart, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the three elders kneeling side by side in the air, a hoarse cry in his throat, and his mouth was slurred, but he could roughly hear that they were thanking Nangu for saving his life!
"Let's all go down! Now that the matter has come to this, I can only change my mind!" With that, Nangu and the three elders all returned to the earth. The three elders wondered, what did the city lord's change of mind mean?
"As soon as Sima Huihong dies, the vitality of your Sima clan will be greatly damaged! Without the powerhouses of the Sixfold Mountain, you can only be reduced to a second-rate force, I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?" Before the three elders could open their mouths to ask, Nan Gu asked first.
The three of them glanced at each other, and after a long time, the Great Elder looked firm and said, "We plan to reorganize the family, and I will lead the family to prosperity! Ten years or twenty years, as long as we can become stronger, we will make ten times and twenty times more efforts than them to surpass them!"
"Tut-tut, I'm a lot older, but my idea is so unrealistic! Let me tell you, even if you lead the Sima clan back to normal, you can't surpass Hongxin and them! If you are willing to listen, I will tell you, if you think my idea is good, you can adopt it!" Nan Gu shook his head, mocking Grand Elder Sima for his ignorance with a hint of mockery.
"Lord of the City, it's okay to talk about it!"
"Without the powerhouses of the Six Mountains, you can't compete with the Zheng family of the Hong family no matter what, and our City Lord's Mansion can't compete with the Zheng family of the Hong family because we don't have enough background, so I want the Sima family and the City Lord's Mansion to unite and become the number one force in Ice Heart City! In this way, your Sima family will not be suppressed by Hong Xin under the protection of the City Lord's Mansion! What do you think?"
"This ...... I'm afraid this is not appropriate, isn't it? Our clan rules and ancestors have said that even if the clan is wiped out, it will not be annexed! Although we are old, we are not old and confused! The rules passed down by our ancestors cannot be broken!" The three elders all shook their heads, wanting to refuse the past, but Nangu laughed, and the three of them were puzzled, so they asked the reason.
"Although you are not old fools, you are all a group of old stubborns! Did I talk about annexing the Sima family? I am talking about the alliance! Do you understand the alliance? Your clan can not be harassed by the Hong family under the protection of our City Lord's Mansion, but in return, you must obey the dispatch of the City Lord's Mansion, how about it? Is this deal cost-effective?"
"At your disposal...... This, this ......" The Great Elder hesitated, not knowing how to make a decision. Seeing this indecisive appearance, Nangu felt anxious for him, and then said: "Of course, when one of you breaks through to the Six Mountains, and has the strength to fight with Hong Xin, you can leave the City Lord's Mansion at any time!"
"Yes, but I want to make three chapters of the law, if the city lord can obey, we will immediately obey the dispatch, if he does not allow it, we will swear to die! First, we are solely responsible for the human and financial resources and all the assets of the Sima family, and you must not interfere; second, my clansmen will always have the surname Sima; third, no one in the city lord's mansion can insult our clansmen for any reason! The above three points are indispensable!"
"Yes! But I'll also make it clear, we're just working together, and you'll have to obey me before you meet a great enemy! You can rest assured, I never do anything stupid like cannibalism! My daughter was almost killed by a demon a few days ago, and as far as I guess, this demon is likely to have something to do with the great war fifteen years ago, you should remember?"
At this point, the three elders were stunned, all thinking about the fierce battle that took place back then......
Fifteen years ago, the demon Andrew invaded Iceheart City with a large group of men, the city gate was broken, and the entire city became a battlefield. After that battle, nearly forty percent of the dead in the city were killed, and countless more were wounded, and many buildings were destroyed in one fell swoop, causing direct economic losses as high as 14 million silver! The three elders were also witnesses of those years, and they had some old wounds on their bodies, and every time they recalled that vicious battle, they could not help but stand on their hair and their hearts beat in shock.
"I see! The city lord is really far-sighted enough, and I admire it!" the three elders shouted in unison. Only now did they feel that this inconspicuous city lord was so dazzling today!
"Now that you all understand my good intentions, then I won't nag about anything anymore! Tomorrow I will send someone to repair the broken family with you, and I will take my leave first!" Nangu turned into a streamer of light, piercing the dark night sky......
The next day, in the morning.
Early in the morning, the scattered tribesmen gathered again, and all of them gathered around the only corpse on the ground, and all bowed their heads......
The two siblings, perhaps because they were too sad, are still lying motionless on the ground. The seven clansmen used their shoulders to resist a square coffin, the coffin was small, golden orange, and white chrysanthemums hung on both sides of the head and tail. These seven people were dark-skinned, wearing the family's unique black mourning clothes, wearing a black living Buddha hat on their heads, and white gloves on their hands, which looked out of place with the chrysanthemums......
Six people put the coffin on the ground, two of them carefully put the body into the coffin, closed the lid, one person took the lead, and the six people lined up on both sides of the coffin, two by two. At this time, the sound of suona entered the ears, following the rhythm of these seven people, it seemed to be full of grief......
As the rhythm of the leader was raised, the six people dragged their hands to the bottom of the coffin, shouted slogans one by one, and finally made a concerted effort to prop the coffin up to the shoulders of the six people. The leader's legs stepped on small steps left and right, slowly moving forward, and the six people behind him also followed his movements, one after the other......
He shrugged his shoulders as he walked forward, but the coffin was firmly on the shoulders of the six dark-skinned people. The leader suddenly stepped back two steps back, and the six coffin-bearers also stepped back with his movements. One rhythm at a time, the first three retreat two, shrug shoulders and break steps.
When the time came to the two pillars of incense, the leader stopped and waved his hand, and the six behind him bent their thighs and rested the coffin on their laps! The leader commanded in an orderly manner, the people on both sides faced each other, and the white handkerchief was as agile as a snake on the coffin.
Not long after, the six people lay on the ground on all fours, put the coffin on their backs, stepped on small steps, the first three retreated and the second retreated, and did not forget to take the time to come out and clap their palms......
As soon as the coffin was lifted and buried, the people behind it began to cry, crying and singing that the world would never come again.
The entire Tibetan ceremony lasted until ten o'clock at noon, the wind was high and the air was cold, and the little damage to the family was completed in one morning with the help of the City Lord's Mansion.
Twenty tables are distributed in all corners of the family, each table can seat up to eight people, suona sound, all the clansmen in mourning and music shed tears and wait for the food.
The three elders took advantage of the grief of the big guy to tell the story of last night, saying that now that they have united with the City Lord's Mansion, the people of the Hong family will not come to attack for the time being, and the people of the Wang clan will work hard to cultivate and grow up as soon as possible to protect the family.
