The Most Powerful Man in the World

Now that most of Xixia has been completely occupied, when the soldiers and horses appeared under the Xixia King City, the guards of the city walls in twos and threes all showed panic.

Although it was said that the news had already been received, but when they really saw the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty approaching the city, these people were quite flustered after all.

Just when Fang La and the others were thinking of asking Chu Yi to fight and siege the city, they saw that the originally closed city gate was slowly opening, and a group of men and horses slowly came from the city gate.

Seeing such a situation, everyone could not help showing a bit of surprise. As these people approached, everyone found that the group of people who came here were dressed in good clothes. Just looking at their temperament, they could see that these people should not be. normal person.

I saw the leading person stepped forward and said loudly: "Please also Tong Bing, we are willing to surrender the city on behalf of the major families in the royal city."

In fact, when these people left the palace, Fang La and the others could guess the purpose of these people, and everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi rode on the war horse, glanced at these people, and raised his brows. There were a lot of people, and depending on the situation, they were afraid that they accounted for more than half of the powerful family in the Western Xia King City.

Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu noticed Chu Yi's expression, and when their hearts moved, they saw Zhu Wu step forward and say to Chu Yi: "General Manager, these people can surrender, but they must pay the price."

Lu Shinang nodded and said: "Yes, these people must pay a certain price, otherwise, the change of dynasty doesn't seem to have much impact on them. Wealth cannot be underestimated..."

Chu Yi glanced at Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu, and nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then the two of you will go and discuss the terms with these people."

Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang glanced at each other when they heard the words, and happily led the order to go.

When those dignitaries saw Song Jun approaching the two, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Chu Yi would ignore them. As long as Chu Yi sent someone, it meant that there was a negotiation. Opportunity.

It's just that these dignitaries can't be happy soon. It's really that the conditions put forward by Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang are too harsh, and each and every condition is just digging meat from them.

It can even be said that this is no longer digging meat, it should be trying to swallow them in one bite.

Look at the conditions that Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and the others put forward. Not to mention other things, the most unacceptable thing for them is that the land they occupy must be handed over. Only each member of their family is allowed to occupy the land. Ten acres of land, and at the same time hand over [-]% of the family's property...

These two conditions alone have deeply stimulated these dignitaries. I don't think any of them has a family of hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. As for the land, at least they occupy tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.It can be said that if the land and family wealth are lost, their family will lose the foundation.

Faced with the conditions proposed by Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu, the first reaction of these dignitaries was not to agree. What is the difference.

The Du family, headed by it, is definitely the most powerful family in Xixia. There are even two concubines in the family, and at least a dozen clansmen occupy high positions above the court, even if they are not much worse than the Helian family.

As the patriarch of the Du clan, Du Lu naturally knew the details of his own family. The fertile land occupied by the Du clan was hundreds of thousands of acres and the property was over a million. If they followed the requirements of Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang, the Du clan would finally At most, thousands of acres of fertile fields and nearly [-] pieces of property can be retained. If it is distributed to each clan, it will be [-] acres of fertile fields per person, and a hundred pieces of property.

If so, this may be a lot stronger than the average ordinary family, but compared to what they have now, it is like falling from heaven to hell.

Taking a deep breath, Du Lu looked at Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu and asked with a bit of pleading: "Do you really want to kill them all? Can you be more forgiving, at least the conditions are not so harsh, otherwise If so, I really can't explain it to the clan."

The other dignitaries were also pleading with Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu snorted coldly: "The conditions for me are already very favorable. As ministers of the subjugated country, do you still want to enjoy the wealth and glory as before?"

With a slight change in his face, Du Lu gritted his teeth and said, "If we didn't cooperate, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for you to take over the Xixia King City and even other places..."

Obviously these dignitaries have no choice but to come up with this to threaten.

Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and looked at Du Lu and the others with disdain and said, "Don't you all know that I don't have much else in the Song Dynasty, just a lot of officials, believe it or not, the chief of my family As soon as a letter arrives in Beijing, the official family will transfer thousands of officials to take over the Xixia area."

Du Lu pointed at Zhu Wu and Lu Shinang, trembling with anger, and said after a while, "Can we go back and discuss with the clansmen!"

Lu Shinang and Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Yes, but you only have half a day. If you haven't decided in the afternoon, then don't blame us for attacking the city."

Watching these dignitaries leave, Lu Shinang said with a bit of disdain: "I really can't cry without seeing the coffin. It's this time, and I still think that I can get through this disaster without paying any price."

Zhu Wu said lightly: "This is the nature of these people. It is harder to want their land and wealth than to kill them. I am afraid that after these people go back, there will be troubles."

Lu Shinang sneered: "If they had an accident, it would be great. We just have an excuse to kill them all. I really think that without them, we can't win the king's city, can't we accept Xixia?"

The two met Chu Yi, and after they talked about their conversation with Xixia dignitaries, they heard Lu Shisang say: "General Manager, from the point of view of subordinates, these dignitaries belong to the kind who can't shed tears without seeing the coffin. , so I also asked the general manager to pass the order, and the soldiers should be ready to attack the city in the afternoon."

Chu Yi looked at the king city ahead, nodded slightly and said, "It's just a bunch of clowns jumping on the beam, and what kind of storm can they make."

But it was said that Du Lu and the others returned to the city, and the gates behind them closed, and someone immediately said angrily: "I am also angry, the Song people are really deceiving people too much, they are going to break the foundation of our family, no matter what. No matter how you can agree, otherwise I will become the sinner of the family!"

"Yes, even if you die, you can't agree to such conditions that will ruin the family's future."

"This old man has never seen such harsh conditions before. You must know that we are going to sacrifice a royal city. It's okay to not reward me for this kind of credit, and even put such harsh conditions on us. This old man is the first to express his attitude. , our Chen family will never agree."

"Yes, our Wang family doesn't agree either!"

All of a sudden, a group of powerful and powerful people were angry, and some people even shouted fiercely that even if they died, they would not agree.

But from this moment, one person said faintly: "If I don't agree, I'm afraid that the next bloody slaughter will be waiting for us, and then everyone will be wiped out..."

As soon as these words came out, all the dignitaries present seemed to be strangled by their necks, and even the most powerful people who had just shouted were like cold water being poured over their heads, and their faces became extremely pale.

After the man finished speaking, his eyes swept across the group of people, and he sighed slightly: "Everyone, think about it carefully, whether life is more important, or land and wealth are more important."

In the imperial city, Li Ganshun listened to the news from his confidants, and his pale face couldn't help showing a bit of mockery: "Okay, okay, that's it, I want to see if these people will do anything. What choice."

After all, he is also the lord of a country, and the royal family still has some background. Obviously, there are eyeliners placed by the royal family among the powerful and powerful, so it is difficult to hide the actions of these powerful and powerful people from Li Ganshun.

It's a pity that Li Ganshun also knows that without the support of the powerful, and the royal guards loyal to Xixia have died in battle, the hundreds of guards in the imperial city alone will not play any role, and the royal family has no repression. The power of those nobles.

Suddenly, a frantic look flashed in Li Ganshun's eyes, and he immediately said: "Come here, let's drive, I want to leave the city."

The servant was stunned when he heard the words, his face was full of astonishment, but when he looked at Li Ganshun's calm and indifferent face, he shuddered subconsciously and hurriedly went out to give orders.

Soon Li Gan, under the protection of the Guards loyal to him, took the imperial chariot out of the imperial city and ran to the city gate along the wide long street.

Li Ganshun's actions were just passed on to those powerful people. These powerful people did not know how many eyeliners were sent to keep an eye on the movements of the imperial city, so Li Ganshun left the imperial city, and soon the news spread.

When the group of dignitaries who were gathering together to discuss how to deal with it, got the news, they were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted.

Only a powerful man could be heard exclaiming: "No, Your Majesty doesn't want to go out of the city to see Chu Yi."

"Could it be that……"

The expressions of a group of dignitaries couldn't help but change greatly. You must know that just now, they have tried their best to see if they can make Song Jun change his mind, at least not under such harsh conditions.

In the end, someone asked whether Li Ganshun, the king of Xixia, could be captured and dedicated to Chu Yi. I believe that such credit should be able to make Chu Yi change his mind.

At least for this kind of credit, even if Chu Yi did not show credit to Emperor Song for them, they should be allowed to keep the family's wealth.

But what they didn't expect was that they had just discussed such a solution, and they hadn't waited for them to take action. As a result, Li Ganshun himself ran out of the imperial city. Looking at the posture, he really went out of the city to see him. The possibility of Chu Yi.

"No, Li Ganshun absolutely cannot go to see Chu Yi, otherwise, we will no longer have the bargaining chip to negotiate with Chu Yi!"

After all, Li Ganshun is also the ruler of a country. This is definitely a good bargaining chip. If Chu Yi refuses to agree to their conditions, they can try their best to hide Li Ganshun and cause trouble for Song Dynasty.

Du Lu suddenly stood up and said: "Everyone, if you break it, you will break it. Whether you have captured Li Ganshun and discussed the terms with Song Jun, let's make a statement together."

While speaking, Du Lu glanced over the crowd and said, "I mean to gamble."

"Ok, deal!"

"Fight for the family!"

In the eyes of these people, the family is the most important, and Lu Shinang, Zhu Wu and their conditions are basically to break the foundation of their family, so even if they know the risks involved in their actions, they will Must take a gamble.

These people are like gamblers who lose with red eyes. Even if they know that the odds of winning are very slim, they are unwilling to admit defeat.

Soon a group of dignitaries present gathered together a private army of thousands of people.

Under these dignitaries, which family does not keep hundreds of servants, and many of these servants exist as family guards. After all, they are the private army raised by these dignitaries. Just an identity.

The private army of thousands of people quickly rushed to the long street that led directly to the city gate under the leadership of a half-step heavenly man.

Li Ganshun's imperial edict was extremely fast, because Li Ganshun knew very well that his whereabouts could not be concealed from those people in the city, and his actions would definitely irritate those people, so he had to leave the city as quickly as possible.

Li Ganshun, who was sitting on the imperial chariot, kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up."

The Guards almost ran all the way. Seeing that there was still less than a mile away from the city gate, a voice suddenly said: "Your Majesty, please stop!"

Hearing that voice, Li Ganshun's expression changed slightly, sitting on top of the imperial chariot. The voice was all too familiar to him. It was Du Ming, a strong man of the Du clan, who he once entrusted to be the Great General of Zhengdong.

However, Du Ming had already resigned from office more than ten years ago, and devoted himself to cultivation. He never thought that this person would appear here.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ganshun sat in the middle of the imperial court and said solemnly, "General Li, don't bother, just continue on your way."

Li Qianqiu, as Li Ganshun's confidant general and in charge of the Imperial Guard, can be said to be Li Ganshun's most trusted and reliant person. At this time, he heard the words: "Your Majesty, go ahead, and at the end will lead someone to stop Du Ming, this traitor!"

Since Du Ming is here, it must not be so easy to pass away, especially when Li Qianqiu found out that there were nearly a thousand private troops accompanying Du Ming, he made a decision in his heart.

Li Ganshun didn't say much, just told Li Qianqiu to be more careful, and then the hundreds of Guards were immediately divided into two parts, one of which continued to run towards the city gate under the leadership of the lieutenant, while the other part was under Li Qianqiu's Waiting for the lead.

Seeing this situation, Du Ming said with a cold expression, "Your Majesty, please stay!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Just a few steps away, Du Ming appeared in front of Li Qianqiu from a few hundred meters away, and said to Li Qianqiu with a cold expression: "Li Qianqiu, the Li dynasty is over, as the saying goes, those who know current affairs are Junjie. , Your cultivation is not easy, are you really willing to die for the Li Dynasty?"

If it was someone else, he might have been persuaded by Du Ming, but Li Qianqiu was loyal to Li Ganshun. If not, Li Qianqiu would not have become the most trusted janitor under Li Ganshun. lead.

If even his own guards can't guarantee loyalty, I am afraid that his throne will not be stable.

Li Qianqiu gave Du Ming a disdainful look and said: "You have truly betrayed Your Majesty's trust, His Majesty did not ask you to dedicate your life to the country, but you have actually done such a treasonous thing, it is really unfamiliar. The white-eyed wolf."

With a sneer, Du Ming didn't talk nonsense with Li Qianqiu. After all, Li Ganshun's car was heading for the city gate at the moment. What he had to do now was to cut Li Qianqiu and capture Li Qianshun.

"Since you are so stubborn, then die."

As he spoke, the long sword in Du Ming's hand instantly turned into a sword light that covered Li Qianqiu. Du Ming was also a half-step heavenly man, even if he used ordinary swordsmanship in his hands It also appears to be surprisingly powerful.

From Du Ming's point of view, Li Qianqiu would never be able to block his own blow.

However, a majestic aura permeated from Li Qianqiu's body, and he heard a jingle, a treasured saber was slashing on the long sword in Du Ming's hand, and even a terrifying force swept in, Du Ming all I couldn't help but take a few steps back before venting that power.

Opening his eyes wide, Du Ming looked at Li Qianqiu in disbelief and said, "You...how can you have such a cultivation."

Obviously, Du Ming was stunned by the tyrannical cultivation level revealed by Li Qianqiu. You must know that in everyone's impression, Li Qianqiu is a strong master at the level of a great grandmaster, and his cultivation level can only be described as good.

If it weren't for this, Du Ming would not be so confident before, but now Li Qianqiu has shown that his cultivation is not weaker than his, how can this not make Du Ming shocked.

Li Qianqiu gave Du Ming a disdainful look. As the commander of the guards, if he didn't leave a hand, how could he guarantee Li Ganshun's safety.

As it is now, if Du Ming hadn't underestimated him too much, how could he be easily stopped by him.

One must know that if his cultivation had been exposed early in the morning, it was conceivable that Du Ming would not be the one who came here.

Maybe these dignitaries can't invite the powerhouses, but the powerhouses at the half-step powerhouse level can still know two or three of them.

Du Ming's complexion became extremely ugly, and the long sword in his hand swept towards Li Qianqiu again, and at the same time gave a long whistle.

In the city, a group of dignitaries who were waiting for Du Ming's good news suddenly heard the long roar, and when Du Lu heard the long roar, his expression changed, "No, there is something wrong. Change."

A group of dignitaries looked at Du Lu, only to hear Du Lu say: "Although he said he didn't know what happened, Du Ming's long howl conveyed a message that he was afraid that he would not be able to keep the emperor. "

When everyone heard this, their expressions became extremely ugly, and one of them couldn't help but said: "How is this possible, Du Ming is still a half-step heaven and man powerhouse, Li Ganshun's subordinates are only a guard commander like Li Qianqiu who can do it. , but he can't possibly be Du Ming's opponent, so why can't he keep Li Ganshun?"

One person suddenly said: "It can't be that Li's heritage has not left."

They are aware of the fact that the strongmen of the royal family of Li took some of the children of the royal family to leave while they were in chaos.

Even though their combined strength is far superior to the royal family, they are very clear that if they really fight with the royal family at this juncture, it will simply not be worth the loss.
