Chapter 17 The Tree Falls and Scatters
Cold and carefree is not a soft-hearted person, for those who disobey themselves, of course, they will be eliminated as soon as possible.
The Jianghu martial arts forces on the side all have some resentment against the Linghu clan. Why did they offend the Marquis of Changshan, and at the same time, they resented themselves, they knew that such a thing would happen, and they wouldn't have come.
Most of the Jianghu martial arts forces here are some small power families and some gangs, and they can't even afford to offend the Linghu clan on weekdays, let alone the big giant Changshan Houye, and they can't afford to offend the existence.
"Everyone, what happened to the Linghu clan today, that is the retribution they deserve, the Marquis of Changshan is supporting my Wuling County City Lord, it is a righteous move, I will report to the imperial court later, and the Linghu clan is the one who killed the previous city lord a few days ago.
The Linghu clan did not accept our investigation, and dared to boldly fight with us, and the city lord had no choice but to suppress it by force.
But freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Ling Fox still has some henchmen involved in the original action, the city lord now wants to find out those henchmen, I don't know if you cooperate with the city lord. ”
Leng Wuwu said as he danced towards the martial arts forces in front of him.
What Leng Wuwu said was that there was something in his words, and he wanted to rein in these Jianghu forces.
Lian Wu, the deputy master of Qianqingmen, was a shrewd man, and when he saw that the rest of the people around him had not yet expressed their position, he took the initiative to step forward and kneel on his knees.
Behind him, more than a dozen white-clothed warriors were all disciples of the Qianqing Sect, and when they saw that the deputy sect master had made a statement, they did not hesitate to step forward and knelt on the ground on half knees following Lian Wu's appearance.
Lian Wu, the master of the Qianqing Sect, is also a well-known person in Wuling County, and his power is also in the top ten masters in Wuling County, and even he has already succumbed, which has caused fluctuations in the power of the rest of the family.
Lian Wu clasped his hands into fists, looked at Leng Wuwu in awe and said, "We are willing to obey the orders of the city lord, and we are willing to work hard for the city lord and relieve the city lord's worries." ”
Lian Wu thought in his heart, no wonder the sect master told himself when he set off that it was said that the Linghu clan would disappear today, and now if he is the first to express his willingness to follow Leng Wuwu, then the territory of the Linghu clan will have a good chance to fall into the hands of our Qianqingmen.
Since even a huge Linghu Clan can be destroyed in a snap of a finger, it can also be easily eliminated Qianqingmen, Lian Wu doesn't want his Qianqingmen to become a thorn in the flesh of the cold and carefree side.
The corners of Leng Wuwu's mouth rose slightly, indicating that he was very satisfied with the interest of Qianqingmen.
He took a few steps forward, held Lian Wu's arm with both hands, and asked kindly, "Qianqingmen is a righteous force in Wuling County, and it will definitely not be a henchman of the Ling Fox Clan." Just now you said that you were willing to be loyal to me, which was too polite, so I was embarrassed to accept it. ”
Lian Wu was helped up by Leng Wuwu's hands, and scolded secretly in his heart.
"What a hypocrite!"
The original city lord of Wuling County, Han Jiang, also had the martial arts forces that unified the rivers and lakes of Wuling County, but at that time, every time he had this action, he would be jointly disintegrated by the local martial arts forces.
Of course, the ruler of the imperial court hopes that the local city lord and the mansion lord can unify the Jianghu martial arts forces, because that can make the place more orderly, and it can also show the strength of the country.
Officials above the prefect level are also known as state lords.
The imperial court doesn't care so much about the martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes that unify the state, a state has a vast territory, and there are hundreds of top forces among them, once they are provoked, it is not fun.
"We are willing to follow the city lord!" and some of the forces in the rivers and lakes knelt on their knees, expressing their submission to the cold and worry-free.
There are some things between the rivers and lakes, and it is best for the people in the rivers and lakes to do them, and it is for the people in the rivers and lakes to do it, and the inclusion of these rivers and lakes forces is for this purpose.
Half of the nearly 1,000 Jianghu warriors present have already succumbed, and some are still indecisive.
Especially those small forces who had previously relied on the Linghu clan, they were particularly afraid in their hearts, afraid that once they joined Leng Wuwu, they would immediately be calculated by the other party.
It is not uncommon for such things to happen in the rivers and lakes.
The Mu family and his party have not yet expressed their position, and Mu Haoze, the head of the Mu family, together with several elders, seems to be discussing whether to join the cold and worry-free forces.
Although they can leave here if they join Leng Wuwu, but after joining, then their Mu family really wants to bow down to Leng Wuwu.
The people in the rivers and lakes defected to the imperial court, this is not a good reputation, how will the martial arts forces in the rivers and lakes of other county capitals think of the Mu family, they will say that their Mu family is the lackey of the imperial court.
"City Lord, I have something to report below. "Qianqing Gate Master Lian Wu bent down and hugged his fist at Leng Wuwu.
Now that Qianqingmen has joined the forces of Leng Wuwu, then they are people from the imperial court, and of course there must be some rules for people in the imperial court.
"Oh, then report it quickly!" Leng Wuwu seemed to know what Lian Wu would say, and nodded back.
"The city lord doesn't know that among these Jianghu martial arts forces that have not yet expressed their position, there are some forces that have relied on the Linghu clan, maybe they are the henchmen of the Linghu clan. Lian Wu said directly.
This sentence made the martial arts forces on the side panic, and they cursed the incorruptible martial artists in their hearts.
In Lian Wu's heart, he thought that since he had joined the forces of Leng Wuwu, there must be a vote, and those Jianghu forces that relied on the Linghu clan in the past, as long as they were killed, it would be a vote.
"And this matter, quickly report the names of those forces. "Cold, carefree, satisfied.
One of the things that Marquis Changshan likes to do most on weekdays is to kill them all, and never leave the enemy a chance.
Previously, the Marquis of Changshan handed over the right to stay in the Jianghu martial arts forces present to Leng Wuwu, and there was one of the requirements, that is, to clear out the henchmen of the Linghu clan.
Since Leng Wuwu can sit in the position of the capital of Wuling County, it is not only because he relies on the big backer of the Marquis of Changshan, but also because Leng Wuwu is shrewd.
When the Marquis of Changshan handed over the matter to him, Leng Wuwu saw things very clearly.
Lian Wu lowered his head and showed a sly smile, "The Wang family, the Li family, the Wu family, the Tianluo Martial Arts Pavilion, the Bihu Villa, the Qingyou Gate..."
Lian Wu listed more than a dozen Jianghu forces related to the Linghu clan in one fell swoop, and these forces have not yet expressed their stance to join Leng Wuwu.
"Qianqingmen, what do you want to do, do you want to kill them all!"
"We don't know anything about what the Linghu Clan has done!" the elderly hall master of the Tianluo Martial Arts Pavilion shook his head.
The martial arts forces whose names were pronounced by Lian Wu were all flustered in their hearts, and they were eager to get rid of their relationship with the Linghu clan.
Leng Wuwu looked at those forces whose names Lian Wu pronounced, and said with a smile in his heart, "Since they are all henchmen of the Linghu Clan, there is no need to exist. ”
Leng Wuwu's city lord army immediately surrounded those forces, waiting for Leng Wuwu to give orders again.
The disciples of the Qianqingmen gathered around the city lord's army, and together they surrounded the forces whose names were named.
The Jianghu forces that joined later also followed the side of the city lord's army.
"Kill me!" shouted coldly.
More than a dozen forces are small forces, and the total number of people is more than a hundred, and there are only five martial artists in the innate realm.
Lian Wu, as the first force willing to join the cold and worry-free Jianghu forces, was quite desperate.
Of the five innate realm masters on the opposite side, two of them were killed by him alone.
There were a hundred more corpses on the ground again, and every dead warrior had a dead expression on his face, and his eyes were wide.
Some of the bricks on the ground had broken during the battle, causing blood from the ground to flow through the cracked bricks and melt into the soil beneath the bricks.
Suddenly, a thick smell of blood added to the air.
The knife in Lian Wu's hand was still ticking with other people's blood, and he walked in front of Leng Wuwu and said in awe, "Return to the city lord, let all the henchmen of the fox clan be killed." ”
"When you go back, remember to clean up those people!" the city lord nodded.
"Lian Wu obeyed. "Lian Wudao.
The head of the Mu family saw the hundred dead corpses on the ground, and those people were still talking and laughing with him before, but after an hour, they fell to such a tragic end.
Several elders of the Mu family breathed a sigh of relief and touched their chests, fortunately Lian Wu did not confess the Mu family, otherwise the corpse lying on the ground might have the clansmen of the Mu family present.
"Family Master, let's hurry up and express our stance to the City Lord!" one of the elders said to Mu Haoze, the head of the Mu family.
Mu Haoze looked at several heads of the Mu family, and from their expressions, it could be seen that they had all agreed to join the Leng Wuwu forces.
"It's come to this, and I'm just going to do it!"
Just when Mu Haoze, the head of the Mu family, was about to express his stance to Leng Wuwu, Lian Wu's voice sounded again.
Lian Wu looked at Leng Wuwu downward, and when he lowered his head, he deliberately looked at the head of the Mu family.
"City Lord, my subordinates just remembered that there is another force that is close to the Linghu Clan, and that is the Mu family of Wuling County!"
There is no contradiction between the Mu family and Qianqingmen on weekdays, but now that the Linghu clan has perished, only the Mu family can compete with Qianqingmen among the Jianghu martial arts forces in Wuling County.
You can take this opportunity to destroy the Mu family, for the Qianqing Gate, why not do it!
The head of the Mu family clenched his fists when he looked at Lian Wu, hating what Lian Wu had just said to Leng Wuwu.
He was really worried that his Mu family would be like the corpse in front of him, and their Mu family would never be able to offend Leng Wuwu's huge strength.
Just when the martial arts forces present thought that Leng Wuwu would order the Mu family to be strangled, Leng Wuwu smiled at Mu Haoze, the head of the Mu family, and smiled, "The Mu family is honest and behaving on weekdays, I see this in my eyes, I believe that the Mu family must not be the henchmen of the Linghu family, I hope you don't say anything slandering the Mu family." ”
