Shura Temple

Chapter 901 Ransom
After Zhou Yi discussed with Ren Qinghua, Ren Qinghua went back to rest.

The two parties agreed to meet the city lord early tomorrow morning to discuss how to save the Shenchao
This night, whether it was Zhou Yi and others or Ren Qinghua, they were destined to be full of thoughts, because they were all aware of these problems, that is, these things were not trivial.

Time soon came to the next day, and Zhou Yi had just finished breakfast when Ren Qinghua came. Zhou Yi simply packed up his things and went to the city lord with Tang Yaoyao and Ren Qinghua.

The reason why he took Tang Yaoyao with him was because Zhou Yi was worried that he would not be able to handle these things alone, and thought that with one more person, there would be one more solution to the problem.

The three of them soon arrived at the city lord's room.

At this time, the city lord was studying things in the room, when he heard the knock on the door.

"Come in, I'm free now."

The city lord was still very reasonable, so he told the people outside the door directly.

After a while, the door opened, and the city lord saw Zhou Yi and Tang Yaoyao coming in, but there was no Ren Qinghua.

It turned out that Zhou Yi was worried that Ren Qinghua's direct meeting with the city lord would make the city lord guess something, so it was better to let him stay outside for the time being.

When the city lord saw Zhou Yi, he asked Zhou Yi directly: "Zhou Yi, why did you come to see me? Tell me, I think you will go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, right?"

Zhou Yi smiled, and said to the city lord: "The city lord is indeed a straightforward person. In fact, I came to you this time to talk about the God Dynasty."

"God dynasty?"

When the city lord heard this, he was very surprised, and asked Zhou Yi and others: "What is there to talk about about these people, Zhou Yi, do you have any opinions on this, you might as well just say it, I don't think you are Let's gossip."

Zhou Yi thought for a while, and then said to the city owner: "City owner, the problem is actually this. I think Shenchao is no longer the opponent of Solo City. Why don't you raise your hand and let Shenchao go, so that everyone can live in peace. Isn't it great, besides, hasn't the Shen Dynasty already expressed its surrender?"

Everything Zhou Yi said made sense, and the city lord showed an unpredictable smile when he heard it. Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly the city lord asked Zhou Yi with interest: "Zhou Yi, since these things belong to the gods, why do you bother?" Worry about it, why don't you let Ren Qinghua come in and say, isn't he a member of Shenchao?"

With that said, the city lord pointed to the outside.

These words and actions really shocked Zhou Yi and the two of them. Tang Yaoyao saw that Zhou Yi hadn't recovered, and said to the city lord: "City lord, don't get me wrong. Zhou Yi has no other meaning. Ren Qinghua is right. You don't have any other ideas, we just said this because we thought these things would be beneficial to both Shenchao and Solo City."

The city lord smiled faintly and said: "I know this, you don't need to be nervous, I'm not angry, why don't you let Ren Qinghua come in and talk about it, I've been thinking about these issues for a long time, and I have ideas about it, you might as well let him in, everyone Let's talk together."

Before Zhou Yi and the two could speak, the city lord said loudly to the outside: "Ren Qinghua, come in, I know you are here."

One minute later, Ren Qinghua came in, looking at the city lord with a smile on his face, but he was in a panic in his heart, don't ask me why Ren Qinghua took so long to come in, because he was indeed frightened by the city lord's foresight before.

Seeing Ren Qinghua trembling, the city lord asked Ren Qinghua with a smile: "You want to save Shenchao yourself, why didn't you come forward? Don't you know that I actually have thoughts about this? We should have a good talk."

After a few minutes, several people discussed things together.

Ren Qinghua asked the city lord: "City lord, I think you should know what I think. I really want to save Shenchao, but these must have your promise. I don't know what your opinion is, can you let Shenchao go, if Yes, we will bow our heads and bow our heads in the future, and then give them gold and silver."

The city lord was drinking tea while thinking about these issues, pondered for a while, and said to Ren Qinghua: "We don't lack gold and silver. I think the most precious thing is that you can surrender sincerely. How about this, I can let you go once. I want you to go back and persuade Shenchao, as long as you can persuade Shenchao, not only can you regain your freedom, but also preserve Shenchao, do you think this will work?"

Ren Qinghua couldn't wish for this, so he said to the city lord: "City lord, it's really good of you to think so, how about this, I'll go back, if you have any requests, just ask, I will definitely agree."

Seeing Ren Qinghua's excited look, the city lord suddenly changed the subject, stopped smiling, and said to Ren Qinghua: "Of course you can go back, but in order to let the people of the God Dynasty know that I, Solo City, are not easy to mess with, I have to do something. , shouldn't you leave something behind so that the gods can know how powerful I am?"

Ren Qinghua was very surprised, and asked what the city lord planned to leave behind.

The city lord pointed to Ren Qinghua's body, and said: "Should you keep some limbs, how about this, I'm not going to be cruel, so you can leave your thumb, so that you can frighten your people, it's okay. "

Looking at the city lord who showed his fierce face, Ren Qinghua gritted his teeth as soon as he thought of the interests of the gods, saying that there was no problem.

Just as Ren Qinghua took out his knife and was about to strike, Zhou Yi stopped him and said to the city lord, "City lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, because it will make the people of the gods think you are a tyrant, and these people will only find ways to resist!" , Ren Qinghua lost his fingers, but you will lose the hearts of the people of the Shen Dynasty, so it's not worth it."

These words reminded the city lord, but in fact the city lord was testing Zhou Yi's attitude. Seeing Zhou Yi say this, he was very satisfied, and said to Zhou Yi and others: "You are right, how could I not agree with these things?" Think about it, but when Ren Qinghua goes back, he needs some collateral, so what do you think about it?"

Zhou Yi is a smart man. After thinking for a while, he came up with a good idea and said to the city lord: "City lord, why don't you ask the gods to give you enough gold and silver? Wouldn't it be great for everyone to turn hostility into jade? , and can buy people's hearts, okay?"

The city lord agreed with this idea, and said to Zhou Yi and others: "Okay, since this is the best way, we will follow these, Ren Qinghua, when the time comes, take my letter back and discuss it with the people of Shenchao. Confirm things as soon as possible, and then come back, these are all right."

Ren Qinghua was very satisfied with this, and thought that this was the best way, so he expressed that he obeyed the wishes of the city lord.

Afterwards, the city lord wrote a letter the next day, stating his request, and then gave it to Ren Qinghua, asking him to take it back.

After Ren Qinghua bid farewell to Zhou Yi and the others, he embarked on the road back, but it is unknown whether things will go well this time and what the outcome will be.
