I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 278 Han Shao, this beast, has a right to die!
Time passed by minute by minute.

The atmosphere in the Argyle, the most luxurious teahouse in Champion City, is dull.

During the banquet, all the heads of various families seemed to be frozen, frozen on the spot.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him without saying anything, Manager Liu twisted his body uncomfortably and smiled coquettishly.

"Why are you looking at Liu like this?"

He didn't regret what he just said, he was just not used to being stared at by so many people at the same time.

However, after saying this, it broke a bit of the silent silence at the table.

The heads of the several heads who were about to leave just now looked at the head of the Liu family for a moment, and then turned to look at those figures who were sitting in their original positions and who were also not in a hurry to move.

The searching eyes were mixed with a bit of surprise.

After a while, someone finally couldn't help but sneered and glanced at Mr. Liu with disdain.

"Could it be that Mr. Liu is... drunk?"

This is full of irony.

I just didn't expect that Manager Liu, who was usually impatient and arrogant, was not angry at this time.

Instead, he laughed and replied.

"Master Zhou was joking. Liu has never drank alcohol, so how can he talk about being drunk?"

In today’s meeting, everyone drank tea.

And tea is naturally not intoxicating.

"Since you are not drunk, why do you say such nonsense?"

As the head of the Zhou family in Jiao County said this, the look of ridicule on his face became more and more obvious.

Let this Champion City change its owner?
Oh, what a loud tone!

You have no brains and want to die, so why bring us with you?
After hearing what Chief Zhou said, everyone who had just stood up with him thought the same thing.

In the past year, they had no choice but to grovel and walk on thin ice under the champion.

Now the other party has broken through the realm and become an immortal, becoming a giant.

If you stir up trouble behind your back at this time, wouldn't you be seeking death?
So everyone shook their heads and laughed, preparing to leave again.

Seeing the reactions of several people, the smile on Mr. Liu's face froze for a moment, but after his eyes touched a certain line of sight above the table, he still held back the aggrievedness.

"Everyone, please wait!"

When several people stopped and stopped, Manager Liu slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Are you willing to...continue to live this life of 'depending on others'?"

"Think about Dingbeicheng in the past..."

Before this Champion City was renamed, how could the Dingbei County magistrate dare to point fingers in front of aristocratic families and famous clans like them?
But now?

In front of the champion, how can they still have any dignity as a wealthy family and clan?

Not only are the goods shipped to the grassland restricted, but they are also heavily taxed!

Even if their tribesmen and disciples accidentally kill a pariah, they still have to pay for their lives!

It’s useless for anyone to plead for mercy!
This alone can be called ridiculous!
I wonder where in the world warriors and monks would risk their lives for a few worthless pariahs?
After all, it wasn't the guy named Han who didn't take these big families and clans seriously at all!
Only then can we confidently suppress and humiliate them arbitrarily!
After hearing what Chief Liu said, everyone, including the Chief that week just now, fell silent.

No one in this world likes to follow rules.

Especially when this rule is made by others to restrict and control oneself, no one will be willing to do so.

After a while, it was still the person in charge that week who spoke first.

"What are you going to say?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Liu glanced upward from the corner of his eye, then looked back at everyone.

"Find a way to send that champion...on his way!"

"Then let us be the masters of this city ourselves!"

Although everyone already guessed what he was going to say.

But everyone at the table still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

When the boss heard this, he wanted to retaliate, but he saw someone in the front seat shaking his head slightly at him.

Director Zhou was silent for a moment, and then asked aloud.

"What can you do?"

The Liu family would definitely not have the guts to rely on him alone.

This matter was naturally not the intention of Chief Liu alone.

In fact, the various forces in the city now seem to be in harmony, just like the current situation in Youzhou, but the factions and alliances behind the scenes are clearly divided.

His Zhou family does not exist alone, and neither does the Liu family.

Just like at this moment, Director Liu is acting as the messenger, and so is he.

Sure enough, when he saw that Director Zhou and others seemed to be interested, one of the first few seats in the banquet suddenly laughed.

"The solutions are all thought up by people. What's Mr. Zhou's hurry?"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and gestured.

"Sit down first, sit down, and let's talk slowly."

Not surprisingly, the person who spoke was the person who spoke to the Yuyang Zheng family.

Director Zhou was a little surprised to see this person jumping out so impatiently.

But after thinking for a moment, he sat down again at the table.

Someone took the lead, and the few people who had just been preparing to leave with him hesitated and sat down.

Whether the matter should be done or not has not yet been decided.

There is no harm in listening to what these people headed by the Yuyang Zheng family want to say and do.

"If we had known earlier that the entry of the guy named Han was so terrifying, we should have dealt with him in advance, even at the risk of offending Zhenliaocheng and Liaodong Gongsun."

The head of the Zheng family in Yuyang, who was sitting in one of the first few seats, sighed with regret.

"It's too late to regret it now!"

When others say this, they may just make people laugh and make people laugh.

But his Yuyang Zheng family has this qualification.

Although they were both the dominant force in the same county, the Yuyang Zheng clan was not as good as Liaodong Gongsun, and there was no Lao Immortal from the Eighth Realm Celestial Being in charge.

But who allowed them to have gods?

You must know that a certain legitimate daughter of their Zheng family entered the back house of the prime minister.

Although she was just a concubine, she had been favored before, so her weight was naturally extraordinary.

With such confidence, I naturally act with less worries.

When Master Zhou heard this, his thoughts changed in his mind, and then he asked tentatively.

"Master Zheng...the ancestor of the clan is going to take action?"

Hearing this, the head of the Zheng family in Yuyang looked at him with interest.

Then he looked at the head of the Chen family of Zhuojun who was standing beside him, and said with a smile.

"Why bother?"

As he said this, he picked up the tea cup and pecked at it, and followed the trend.

"Didn't Chief Liu just say that? We can use this opportunity to... kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

The words fell.

Everyone present was stunned.

It's not that I didn't understand the meaning of the words, but I was shocked when I did.

"Mr. Zheng, what you mean is...those barbaric dogs?"

Having said that, there is nothing they don’t understand!
This Yuyang Zheng family obviously wants to repeat the story of last year and trap and kill the Liao army again!
It’s just that this time the goal must be clearer.

That means letting the champion... die! It's just that they haven't dared to think about it.

Facing the ugly face of the person who spoke, the head of the Zheng family put down the tea cup with a smile and asked.

"Can't you?"

The person who spoke had a complicated look on his face, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is this so?"

As a wealthy family, the bottom line has always been very fragile for the sake of profit.

But as a Yong people, it is somewhat inappropriate to make peace with those foreigners and trap and kill their own people.

After all, not everyone is the Beigu sect leader, and not everyone is the officials of the original Dingrang County.

What's more, even they didn't directly make peace with the barbarians at the beginning, but followed the orders of those in the divine capital.

Now if they were asked to actively collude with the barbarians to do this, even they would not be able to pass the test in their hearts.

"Why is this so?"

The head of the Zheng family sneered, and then said quietly.

"If it's just this Champion City, that's it."

"But now the problem is not just that!"

There are two important nodes leading to grassland trade.

One is Champion City and the other is Langju City.

It turns out that Champion City was under strict control by that guy, but they could still tolerate it.

But after the man surnamed Han killed the original guard of Langju City, the Liao Suppression Army entered Langju City in large numbers.

That guy was actually over there, recreating the method originally used in Champion City!
Being so domineering and arrogant, and not leaving any room for others to do things, how can these forces who have long been accustomed to be unscrupulous tolerate it?

Especially some wealthy families and sects headed by the Zheng family in Yuyang.

They are closest to the grassland and naturally the most dependent on the grassland's trade routes.

Destroying someone's financial path is like killing one's parents!
The guy surnamed Han cuts off their financial resources without leaving any room, that is, he is killing them!

In this case, don’t blame them for some things!

However, after hearing what Director Zheng said, other leaders of the forces except theirs were still hesitant.

On the one hand, they had to admit that what Director Zheng said did make some sense.

The champion acted too domineeringly and had a plan to kill him.

But on the other hand, in addition to the sadness in their hearts, they were also afraid.

Don’t forget, after what happened last year, not only was Beigu Zong massacred, but almost everything in Dingyang County was purged.

Over in the Divine Capital, the three Seventh Realm True Immortals and the families they protected were all dead!

With such a tragic contrast in front of them, how could they dare to do something so outrageous?
And Director Zheng obviously saw through their scruples and worries, and said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Do you know why I, the Zheng family of Yuyang, have benefited a lot from the grassland business trade for so many years, but my life is still tight?"

After saying this, everyone was stunned.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Chief Zheng smiling but not smiling, pointing to the sky with his finger quite contentedly.

"So...this time it's not me, Mrs. Zheng of Yuyang, who wants the guy named Han to die, but that adult!"

"He took advantage of interests that he shouldn't have touched, and angered people who shouldn't have been offended. Do you think he... was justified in taking death?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chief Zheng's joking words.

Then the thought 'that's it' came to my mind!

What a towering figure that gentleman is?

The power was vested in the first emperor, and the two dynasties were in power today!
Jinshang was forced to leave Weiyang Palace, which originally symbolized the majesty of the Ji family, and ran to Ganquan Palace to temporarily avoid the sharp attack!

Not only the layout of the divine capital of the two palaces in the north and south was born here!

The people even have the title of 'Emperor'!

What if he angered such a terrifying existence, let alone a Seventh Realm True Immortal and the current Chehou, even if it was Prince Ji?
It’s better to die than die!
Realizing this, all the heads of the various families were immediately shaken.

But after all, some people still hesitated and gritted their teeth.

"Sorry! Chief Zheng! The matter is too big, so please forgive me for not being able to specialize in a certain family! It must be decided by the clan!"

If someone takes the lead, someone will naturally respond.

Soon, one after another people stood up and clasped their fists.

"That's right! Such a big matter is not something we, the principals, can decide! It must be reported to the sect and decided by the sect master himself!"

This is also reasonable.

Colluding with barbaric dogs was such a big deal that even if they were tempted, they would not dare to make the decision on behalf of the clan or sect.

If something goes wrong, he will die and be infamy for eternity.

If it affects the family and sect, it will be hard to escape the blame even if it means death.

But they didn't expect that Director Zheng, who was smiling and talking nicely to them just now, would suddenly change his face.

"no!"

Seeing Chief Zheng's reaction, everyone's hearts sank and they immediately retorted.

"Why not! How can we decide such a big thing on our own!"

Unexpectedly, Director Zheng said so rudely.

"I said no, I just can't!"

Seeing what everyone present wanted to say, Director Zheng said with a gloomy face, half explaining and half threatening.

"In urgent matters, follow the authority! Wait until you send the news back to each family before making a decision. The day lilies are already cold! Why do you want to make such a big deal!"

"Since you have listened to our plan today, you have no choice but to obey or not!"

Since the clan asked him to do this, he must do it well!
Once this matter is done, not only will the Yuyang Zheng family show some value in front of that adult, making that adult happy.

He also has a chance to be appreciated by that adult!
When the time comes, I will step from this bitter cold borderland into the capital of God, and from then on I will rise to the top, how happy it will be!

Thinking of the glorious future that he could foresee, Director Zheng looked sinister and glanced at everyone present.

At this moment, everyone at the table finally understood.

From the beginning to the end, this thief named Zheng was not ready to let them go, and was bent on dragging them into the water!

Thinking of this, everyone felt angry and looked back at Chief Zheng with ugly expressions.

"If I don't agree, what will Director Zheng do?"

"Don't agree?"

Manager Zheng smiled sinisterly, and with a wave of his hand, he opened the door of the Accord room.

"Then please do it!"

"But...as long as you walk out of this door, don't regret it!"

But his simple action made everyone who was originally filled with indignation hesitate.

After a while of silence, someone finally sighed helplessly.

"Director Zheng has been saying that the champion is acting domineeringly, but how is it similar to what he is doing now?"

The person who spoke was the head of the Chen family who had been silent for a while.

As the only Zhuojun Chen family present who could rival the Yuyang Zheng family, this statement naturally attracted everyone's attention.

When the head of the Zheng family heard this, he smiled coldly.

"So... what is Chief Chen's choice?"
