Section 250 Changes in the situation
Shi Yong never felt as weak as he is now, and he almost collapsed on the ground: "You did it on purpose...so you let me go..."
Tianhao stood up from the chair, walked slowly forward, squatted down very close to Shi Yong, staring at him: "I can swear to the gods that since you were captured, I have never done anything against you, and have never spread rumors about your rebellion. I admit that I know His Majesty the Lion King's edict, but I really don't know that he will order your family to be killed."
He did not do it.
As early as a few months ago, Pingjun sent back various news about the chaos in Shattered Gold City. Tianhao was surprised at the time. This was indeed unexpected. Both the Lion King and the new city lord were like their own people and gave the greatest help in the issue of surrendering Shi Yong. Because of this, Tianhao never forced Shi Yong, who had always remained resistant, and was willing to let him leave Panshi City at the right time, and even generously gave him food, drinking water, and horses to transport.
Some secrets can only be excavated by the parties themselves, but to put it bluntly, it is meaningless.
Pain and despair once again enveloped Shi Yong. The soldiers who grabbed him felt the muscle strength being disappeared. At the same time, they received the orders conveyed by Tianhao with their eyes. They all let go of their fingers and quietly retreated from the room, giving them all the space.
His hot tears fell on the ground and soon became cold.
"I have done so much for His Majesty. Even in the most difficult time, I have never reached out to Roaring City. The Shattered Gold City used to be a wasteland, and it has been managed by my grandfather by people. A small village with more than 2,000 people has become a city, and the population is increasing. I have never treated those civilians badly. Every winter, I spend time on open and secret investigations, giving them food and clothes, so that all the children can survive smoothly... As a result, they were so cruel to my family... they divided them... they divided them..."
Tianhao did not speak and remained silent for a long time. He knew that at this time, he only needed to be an audience, not a speaker. When the other party said he was tired and cried, all the grief and madness would subside.
The sick white filled Shi Yong's face, and the clothes on his chest were covered with wet marks, tears, blood, saliva, sweat... It was dirty and ragged.
After a long time, Shi Yong made a hoarse voice like an old man: "...will your...things have counted?"
Tianhao looked at him with a steady and sharp look: "What are you referring to?"
I have promised many things, but I can't remember anything for a while.
"...I surrender..." Shi Yong turned over with difficulty, knelt in front of Tianhao with trembling rope, his forehead gently touched the ground, and his body, which consumed too much strength and was stiff, could only maintain this position. He cried out from the depths of his throat, hoping for help: "I am willing to surrender... Please... help me."
Tianhao looked at Shi Yong's gray-haired head, and his deep eyes penetrated directly into the other party's brain, and he saw the secret: "Do you want to use my power to help you avenge?"
Shi Yong did not answer and let out a low and choked cry.
All the hopes of goodness have been shattered, and at this moment his heart is shrouded in the darkness of revenge. No matter who it is or whatever the conditions are, he is willing to sign a contract to sell his soul.
Even if it is the devil, I am willing to offer everything.
I lost my wife and my family.
There is nothing in this world that I am nostalgic about.
I can die.
But before that, I must seek justice from the murderers and make them pay for it.
...
This is a quiet and peaceful autumn.
Time goes back two months.
Pingjun did not receive any bad news from Heijiao City. Tianhao attributed this situation to the great master. If this old man had not persuaded His Majesty King Niu, things would not have become what they are now.
Niu Lingxiao's experience in Panshi City spread like the wind. Although time has passed for a long time, the incident of "the princess was killed" still caused a huge response in the noble circle. No one dared to mention the pig prisoners of war in Panshi City, but there were more voices questioning the identity and power of the young lord.
More and more nobles were making suggestions to His Majesty the Majesty, demanding restrictions on the expansion of the Stone Territory.
"That was an arrogant and rude young man. He didn't know how to respect the nobles at all. No wonder he was a poor boy, but he climbed to his current position because of his good luck. He didn't even listen to Niu Weibang's orders, and would not obey His Majesty's orders."
"The King of the Fierce Bulls regards him as his brother, but he refuses to let Niu Lingxiao go."
"He must split his territory, give him a few villages at most, and take back the Stone City. That kind of place can only be directly governed by the king."
People's hearts are still those people's hearts, but rumors change with the situation. No one mentioned any more words like "The Lord of the Rock intends to rebel". They turned to the side, pondering the thoughts of His Majesty the King of Niu, and saying that everything was for the stability and overall situation of the Niu clan, demanding to divide Tianhao's territory and give the interests to the royal power.
Even the King of the Fierce Bull had to admire Wu Yuan's wisdom. This young and miserable wizard is indeed very talented in playing with conspiracies.
The situation changes every day. As time goes by, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to use rumors like "despise the nobles" as weapons. Although Niu Lingxiao's princess is beautiful, it is impossible for all nobles to share. Pig man prisoners of war are different. At that time, all nobles will become interested by using "replacement of population" as the signboard.
"Only a fierce bull division alone is definitely not a match for the Rock Leader. You have to bring more people together. Don't forget that Niu Tianhao is a powerful guy, not to mention that there are several big figures behind him. He used to be Niu Weibang, but now he has become a great master."
This is Wu Yuan’s original words.
Yes...the great master!
Every time I think of this, Niu Lingxiao is so angry that he is so angry that he is tiring.
Although they are all witch-performers, the great national master is definitely not comparable to the small characters like Wu Yuan. Niu Lingxiao is a typical example of the nobles who are bold and wanton, but even he dare not be disrespectful to the great national master. The king of the bull is unruly. He can call the great national master "that old man" in public, but he will never dare to call him an old guy, an old bastard, an old bastard, an old bastard, an old bastard... can be joked, a joke, or even a joke, but the consciousness of respect has penetrated into the bone marrow from a long time ago. The status of the great national master is even higher than that of His Majesty Niu. All nobles, including Niu Lingxiao, should be considered an important figure with their ancestors to some extent.
The same goes for saying: Although they are all witch practitioners, there is a fundamental difference between the great master and Wu Yuan who calls themselves "spokespersons of gods". Niu Lingxiao never doubts that the great master can communicate with gods, pray, or even ask the gods to bring down certain miracles. In the eyes of the King of the Fierce Bull, Wu Yuan obviously cannot do this. Because he is too young, and to put it bluntly, time represents everything. If you want to get real respect, you have to wait until wrinkles climb onto your face, and the number must exceed the wrinkles of the walnut in the middle of your legs.
Niu Lingxiao didn't understand why the great master stood on Tianhao's side? In his opinion, this was really incredible. A mere young man could barely be considered to have the word "noble". I would also like to fight, and I would not lose to others, whether he was brave or strategy. He could destroy the Pig tribe, but it was only said that he was lucky. If it were me, I could do this.
The rumors spread before had no effect. The Great Master was in charge of Heijiao City and ordered the palace guards to dispatch all over the place and arrested thousands of people in one go. Never underestimate the determination of the superiors to investigate the truth. In this way, he followed the clues and found more than 100 spreaders who were the source of the rumors. Just when Niu Lingxiao and Wu Yuan were worried and felt that this investigation might fall on them, the Great Master ordered the more than 100 people to be chopped down and exposed the corpse warning.
"He doesn't want to make things worse. This will be of no benefit to everyone. It will be autumn soon, harvesting food, repairing warehouses, and preparing materials... These things require enough manpower. If it causes panic, the situation in Heijiao City is turbulent and spreads to the surrounding areas, it will turn into real chaos."
Wu Yuan’s analysis is very reasonable and he has been exposed to some truth.
Stability is the key to everything.
Niu Lingxiao felt fear for the second time in his life. The last time he had a similar feeling was in Panshi City. He swears with his head that if he hadn't run fast at that time, the young lord would definitely not change his orders, and the guards who were like wolves and tigers would have killed him without hesitation.
He didn't know how deep the great master knew the rumors themselves, but he was sure that the great master was not unable to investigate, but was unwilling to do so. The old man put in great effort to maintain the stability of his tribe and has been like this for many years. This is the biggest difference between him and His Majesty the King of Bull, and it is also the reason why all the nobles sincerely respect him.
Respect is respect, but I still have to do anything I want.
I am paralyzed, not to mention that I have given my beloved woman for it.
The plan to kill Niu Weibang was forced to be temporarily suspended. Not to mention the success rate, as long as you think of the wise eyes of the great master, the king of the bulls felt his scalp numb.
Things have come to a dilemma, a real dead end.
Wu Yuan's terrible wisdom was reflected at this time. He racked his brains and thought hard, and decided to use rumors as a weapon to curb the Rock Leader.
The difference is that the joint interests of this rumor are not the nobles, but His Majesty the King of Ox himself.
"Panshi City is a piece of fat. We want it, others want it, and your Majesty also wants it. Since we cannot get help from others, it is better to be generous and send this piece of fat directly to His Majesty. Humph... I admit that the Great Master is indeed a fair and just person, and everything he does leaves me speechless. After all, Panshi City is the territory of our Niu tribe. No matter how great he is, he must obey His Majesty's orders. If His Majesty says he wants it, will he dare not give it? Hahahaha..."
Niu Lingxiao briefly thought about Wu Yuan’s words, but found no logical problems. He frowned: “According to you, Your Majesty can of course get the Rock City, but what should I do? What can I get?”
The warm sunshine shone on Wu Yuan's face, the surface of his skin was filled with a soft luster, and a charming smile spread on his handsome face. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, no one believed that the dirty and despicable conspiracy came from his head that made thousands of women addicted to it.
"Do you think Niu Tianhao will obey His Majesty's orders honestly?" Wu Yuan poked his upper body forward, spread his five fingers with his left hand, and made a squeezing action.
"No." Niu Lingxiao answered without thinking, and said, "This kind of thing doesn't need to be considered at all."
"Your Majesty is the sky, he is an ant shrouded in the sky." The smile on Wu Yuan's face turned into a sneer: "If this ant is disobedient, God will be angry, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain will be pouring down. Maybe there will be hail and heavy snow, drowning, freezing, and crushing him to death... At this time, you need to volunteer and lead troops to fight. Anyway, all your Majesty wants is Panshi City. As for population, food, and property... you have the final say."
This idea is good, with a high success rate, Niu Lingxiao likes it very much.
Wu Yuan was very excited. He felt that he had found the value of life, especially gaining the trust of the King of Fierce Bulls again, which was equivalent to taking another step towards the core of power. Of course, ideas such as revenge and shame must be buried deep in his heart. It is not yet time to settle the accounts. Anyway, he is helping his enemies to fight against them, and let them fight for both sides first, and then I can benefit from it.
The happy mood lasted less than two hours, and was severely shattered by the news brought by my confidant from Panshi City.
The merchant Jin Sheng has always been Wu Yuan's subordinate. He sent a messenger from Chiti City, but he didn't know that the messenger was the person Wu Yuan was stationed by him.
"What did you say? Panshi City uses metal currency in full?" Wu Yuan was shocked and opened his mouth wide, not believing that this was true.
The messenger knelt on one knee on the ground. Because the matter was secret, he didn't say loudly: "Yes. In order to find out the truth, Jin Sheng took the caravan to Panshi City for transactions. The other party paid in metal currency, and this kind of money could be used in Panshi City and no one refused."
As he said that, the messenger took out a silver coin from his close-fitting pocket and served it with respectfully with both hands.
Wu Yuan's face turned ashen, and the rhythm of his breathing became rapid without realizing it. He gritted his teeth hard, completely losing his usual elegance. He almost grabbed the silver coin from the messenger's hand, and then waved his hand in disgust and signaled the other party to leave.
He needs to be quieter than ever before.
Why did things turn out like this?
He clenched his fists hard, and the hard round silver coins were very uncomfortable in his palm. Wu Yuan felt that he had grabbed the enemy he had not met for a long time and wanted to kill him and suffocate him to death until he was crushed.
Tianhao...
Isn't he the most opposed to the use of metal currencies?
I've tried him so many times before, but all failed.
Countless facts show that the young lord is an opponent of the monetary system and he will never be on my side.
But now, he actually ordered the full use of metal currency in Panshi City?
Chapter completed!
