Chapter 405: Each by Means
Chapter 4o5 by means
The Du family can be said to be panicked at this time, and the past year or so has been like a nightmare for every Du family.
First of all, Elder Du Yongkang was in the lineage, the three elders were ambushed by demon beasts, returned with serious injuries, and their cultivation fell sharply, followed by the fourteenth elder at the gate of the Du family's compound at the hands of the little-known Li Wenjun, leading the Du family's prestige to plummet.
After that, the Du family was in civil strife, the second elder and the elder Du Yongkang were in flames, both sides were defeated, and even the patriarch was seriously injured and unconscious, Zheng Jingtang and Qi Shaojun, two people with the surname Du who were not surnamed Du, controlled the overall situation of the Du family. This is not the end, Jiang Shaohua, the city lord of Jinpeng City, came over again to intervene and want to annex the Du family and bring Boxian City under his command.
In the hundreds of years since the Du family's ancestors built the city, it can now be said that it is a time of drastic changes, if one is not careful, the Du family will decline into a third-rate family, and it will no longer be able to control Boxian City, and even worse, it may be extinct from now on, and the wealth accumulated by the Du family over the years will become the fat meat shared by other immortal cultivators.
When Li Wenjun sneaked into the Du family compound, he didn't even see a single patrolman, and almost all the people who were qualified to live in the Du family compound left their place of work and life and rushed to the patriarch's courtyard.
Li Wenjun found Du Yuhuan's courtyard very smoothly, but Du Yuhuan was not there, and there was no one in Du Yongkang's courtyard. Just as he was about to use the communication paper crane to contact Du Yuhuan, he heard a huge commotion from one direction.
Li Wenjun's heart moved, and he walked over with the sound.
The noise came from the patriarch's courtyard, and when Li Wenjun squeezed through, the wall of the current patriarch's courtyard had been torn down, and the entire courtyard was exposed to everyone without any barrier.
In the courtyard, there were three groups of people facing each other, and in one of them, Li Wenjun saw the figures of Du Yuhuan, the bearded man and the horse-faced man. Basically, they are all the young Zhuang faction of the Du family, and their number is about seventeen or eighteen.
Du Yuhuan stood at the front of the line, his body was wrapped in bandages in many places, blood oozed from the back of the bandages, his beard was unkempt, his silk was messy, and there were many holes in his clothes. At this time, he still has a little bit of a handsome boy?
The situation of the bearded and horse-faced man was also similar to Du Yuhuan, and both of them and Du Yuhuan stared at the other group of people with fiery eyes.
This group of people, for the two of them, Li Wenjun also had a relationship, they are none other than Zheng Jingtang, the maternal uncle of the patriarch Du Yuyu, who is surnamed the elder of the Du family and the patriarch Mrs. Du Yuyu. The other one is naturally Du Yuyu's Taoist companion Qi Shaojun.
There were more people in this group than Du Yuhuan's, about twenty-three or four. Without exception, they are all immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, among which there are four or five immortal cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, and if Zheng Jingtang is counted, there are as many as six in total. Without exception, they were all covered in their bodies, and there were no injuries at all. Brightly dressed, almost everyone was looking at Zheng Jingtang nervously.
Zheng Jingtang frowned tightly and lowered his head, as if he couldn't decide something.
In the last group, Li Wenjun didn't know any of them. One of the people in this group sat on a Taishi chair with a golden sword, and his cultivation was the highest among all the immortal cultivators present, the Great Perfection Realm of the Foundation Building Period. Needless to say, he is Jiang Shaohua, the city lord of Jinpeng City.
Around Jiang Shaohua, there were more than thirty immortal cultivators in the foundation building period. Among them, those who have cultivated to the lowest realm also have four layers in the foundation building period, and there are as many as four or five in the eighth or ninth layer of the foundation building period.
"How's it going, Elder Zheng, how are you thinking about it?
You should see that I am willing to take risks alone and enter the core area of the Du family's compound to talk to you, which represents my sincerity. I repeat it again. None of you have the surname Du, you are all people with foreign surnames in the Du family's compound, and the best thing of the Du family will never be your turn. Why do you work hard for the Du family?
As long as you are willing to submit to me, I promise that you will not be harmed. Second, I will ensure that the treatment you enjoyed in the Du family before remains unchanged, and what the Du family gives you, I will also give you in the future.
How's it going, my conditions are favorable enough, right?"
Jiang Shaohua's voice was a little hoarse, at first glance, it was not very good, but if you listen to it for a little longer, you will see that his voice has a unique charm in it.
"The lord of the city has personally recruited you, and he has promised such favorable conditions, what are you not satisfied with? Hmph, don't be embarrassed, let alone eat a toast and eat a penalty wine, sue you, this penalty wine is not so delicious. A male cultivator standing on Jiang Shaohua's left hand side said angrily.
Zheng Jingtang suddenly raised his head, with a trace of bitterness on his face that could not be concealed, and he said:
"I have been planning hard for many years, in order to achieve great things, I even did not hesitate to marry my most beloved niece to Du Yuyu, that fool as his wife, seeing that I am about to succeed, I Zheng Jingtang will control the entire Boxian City, and when the time comes, I can combine the power of the entire Du family and even Boxian City, use it for me, and help me hit the Jindan period, but I didn't expect to kill halfway to bite the gold, and the fruits of victory that are about to arrive have become your Jiang Shaohua's meal. I'm not reconciled. ”
Jiang Shaohua laughed and said, "Zheng Jingtang, what can you do if you are unwilling? What day will our Qingmeng Mountain Immortal Cultivation Realm not stage a few open and secret battles? Conspiracy and trickery, bullying the weak, everyone just relies on their own means. Just like you are also attacking your niece's son-in-law? It stands to reason that Du Yuyu treats you well, but you are not unfamiliar?"
"City Lord Jiang, yes, you are right, I am sorry for the Du family, but if I were asked to do it all over again, I would not hesitate to re-walk the road I had walked. I just hate that my cultivation is too low, and if I am also in the Great Perfection Realm of the Foundation Building Period, then it will be fine. In that case, even if you know that the Du family is in civil strife, you may not dare to invade the Du family. Zheng Jingtang said unwillingly.
"Yes, what you said is very right, but as long as the Du family still has a clansman from the Great Perfection Realm of the Foundation Building Period, I will not bring anyone over, but the problem is that you are not in the Great Perfection Realm of the Foundation Building Period, and your assumption is not valid. Zheng Jingtang, you are also the number one person, as long as you can submit to me, the position of an elder in Jinpeng City will not be able to escape. Jiang Shaohua once again threw an olive branch to Zheng Jingtang.
Zheng Jingtang was not willing to believe in Jiang Shaohua's promise, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was the brain of the elders of the Du family, if he took all the elders of the Du family to join Jiang Shaohua, could Jiang Shaohua be at ease? All of Jiang Shaohua's promises now were just to make him surrender without resistance and reduce his losses, and when the situation calmed down, Jiang Shaohua would definitely turn his hand against him.
"City Lord Jiang, it stands to reason that the conditions you put forward are already very rich, but everyone understands the truth that they would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow. We are generals, and even if we submit to you, it will be difficult to gain your trust. Besides, we can be regarded as deeply blessed by the Du family, if we don't do anything, we will put down the flying sword, and if we don't make any resistance, we will submit to it, I am afraid that the Taoist friends of the entire Qingmeng Mountain Immortal Cultivation Realm will laugh at us. Zheng Jingtang said.
"Zheng Jingtang, you are really verbose. You said so much, don't you just want to be a and erect an archway?" The male cultivator standing on Jiang Shaohua's left hand side scolded again.
Zheng Jingtang ignored this person, he said to himself: "City Lord Jiang, you can come to the Du family's compound in person, show us a lot of pain, and personally promise that if you want to subdue the entire Du family without shedding a drop of blood, it is too simple to think." The Du family has been running the city for hundreds of years, if you don't enter the city, maybe we can't help you, but you just entered the Du family's compound? ”
Jiang Shaohua smiled faintly and said: "Maybe in your opinion, the lord of this city is a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, but in my opinion, I am a tiger into a flock." Zheng Jingtang, you and those Taoist friends behind you, if any of you don't believe it, just come out and give it a try. ”
Zheng Jingtang remained silent and said:
"City Lord Jiang, we all know that you are a master of the Great Perfection Realm in the Foundation Building Period, and you are the master of a city, there is no shortage of magic weapons, it is estimated that you are already armed to the teeth at this time, it is impossible for us to beat you at all, and even whether we can seriously injure you is an ambiguous thing.
But this is only in general, you forget about one possibility.
I don't know if you've ever thought about whether it is possible for you to get out if all the elders of our Du family blow themselves up together?"
Jiang Shaohua's face changed suddenly, but then he smiled again: "Zheng Jingtang, are you willing to blow yourself up?"
"I dare to blow myself up, if City Lord Jiang doesn't believe it, I can do it for you. As he spoke, Zheng Jingtang began to pinch the trick.
Jiang Shaohua couldn't keep his composure anymore, and he hurriedly said, "Elder Zheng, don't be impatient. We have something to say, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, you must restrain yourself. ”
Zheng Jingtang breathed a long sigh of relief, if he hadn't been forced to be helpless, he wouldn't have blown himself up anyway. Once it self-destructs, there is nothing left, and even the original god will be destroyed in the self-explosion, and there is no chance of reincarnation.
Zheng Jingtang didn't let go of the half-pinched technique, he pinched his fingers and said, "City Lord Jiang, I also know that the fall of the Du family is the trend of the times, and no one, including me, can stop it. Even if you Jiang City Lord retreats today, there will be a Wang City Lord tomorrow, and a Li City Lord the day after tomorrow to forcibly annex Boxian City. The Du family went up and down, and none of them could stop it. ”
Jiang Shaohua nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth." Elder Zheng, you realized this, it means that we still have something in common, if there is anything to say, let's talk about it well, speak slowly, do you see if you disperse the trick first?"
I'm sorry, the idea is still stuck, and there is only one chapter today, and what I owe yesterday and today must be made up for when I go back.
