Chapter 387 The situation changes again (2)
Two days later, the defeated troops from Shicheng Pass fled back to Duyun City and brought back the bad news that the enemy was approaching.
Suddenly, no matter the military and civilians in Duyun City, everyone was in panic. Many people in power in the two sects even jointly wanted to see Long Wenzhou and wanted to express their opinions to him.
However, it was still a day before Long Wenzhou invited these people from the city who were actually his elders into the mansion. As soon as he saw him, the two most anxious, Long Tianfan and Long Tianxing, directly expressed their urgent wish: "My nephew Wenzhou, the situation is now critical. If our two sects still want to protect themselves, there is only one way to open the city and surrender."
"Yes, Wenzhou, this time the main sect and the three sects came together to fight, and even Shicheng Pass could not stop their offensive. I am afraid that it would be impossible for me to defend Duyun City. Immediately, the wisest choice was to open the city and surrender. After all, we are still a family, and whether Tianhao or Tianxiang, we will eventually have mercy."
Long Wenzhou is a young man who looks quite elegant, and there is a huge contrast with the arrogant Long family's children. At this moment, his expression seemed pale because of the enemy's presence and the jail being broken, making people feel that he is becoming more and more helpless. Faced with the continuous advice of the two uncles, he remained silent without making a sound, but just glanced back and forth on everyone's face, as if asking for the opinions of others.
"No!" Sure enough, another person soon stood up and opposed loudly, "Don't forget, our old sect leader and my dad died at their hands. At this time, the city will surrender, I'm afraid the outcome will be the same!"
"Long Wenyuan, are you just thinking about avenging your personal revenge, but you want to take the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city to be angry?" Faced with this younger generation, the two elders were not so polite, and immediately shouted, "What is the situation at the moment? Everyone sees it. Shichengguan is our most important portal, but even their attacking steps cannot be stopped. Why do we still need to defend Duyun?"
"That's right, what do you know if you don't even have a single doll? The most safe way to open the city and surrender is. Originally, we are just a family. Will they still make things difficult for us at this time?"
"What do you think you should do?" Long Wenzhou finally spoke, but he was not asking about the three people who had already spoken, but the others.
Although these people did not express their opinions, they all looked sad. When he asked this, someone hesitated and said, "Sect Master, what the two elders Tianfan and Tianxing said makes some sense, we can't defend it."
"You will be cowardly before fighting. You are afraid of his three sects, so I am not afraid!" Long Wenyuan immediately mocked, "I think you have suffered from their benefits, so you are here to mess with my heart, right?"
"You are simply fart! We are your elders after all, and we have worked hard for many years. How could we do such a thing?"
"That's hard to say..." Long Wenyuan wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Long Wenzhou's wave of his hand. In this city, except for the dead father and the old sect leader, the cousin he was most convinced. At this time, he stopped looking at him and waited for him to give his own ideas.
Long Wenzhou narrowed his eyes and swept over everyone, and said softly: "Actually, your concerns are not unreasonable. They can easily conquer Shicheng Pass, and then conquer my Duyun City. But have you ever thought about it? The survival of Duyun is not only the matter of my two sects, but it also involves the envoys of the Dingxi Army."
Everyone was stunned and then remembered that the Dingxi Army envoy who came a few days ago was still staying in the city. The purpose of their coming here was already known to the city. They were here to seek cooperation between the two sides to fight against the rebellion of the Long family, the Luotian Sect, and the Huntian Army. Now when they think about it, many people showed strange things. Once the city was opened and surrendered, they would be sent out together.
Long Tianfan immediately smiled: "This is easy to deal with. They are taken down and handed over to our Long family's own disposal. This will show our sincerity."
"It's true, it should be like this. I want me to say that this is what they harmed us. Wenzhou, you think that the main sect had intended to negotiate after he could not conquer my Shicheng Pass several times. In this way, we had the bargaining chips to gain benefits. But this time they came, we were in such an unfavorable situation. Since this is the case, we don't have to show any mercy. If we don't kill them, we have already done our best!" Long Tianxing also said.
Then several other people followed suit, completely stating that they wanted to fight and kill the envoys of Dingxi Army.
Long Wenzhou continued to listen, and at the same time used his eyes to stop Long Wenyuan's angry expression, and finally said with a smile: "Yes, uncles and uncles are really considerate. You are indeed starting out of reality. You feel that no hatred is more important than our own survival now, right?"
Seeing that he seemed to be moving, everyone was even more happy and nodded: "Yes, Wenzhou, a little unbearable situation will cause trouble. Let him go over the hatred of the past. The most important thing now is to save our own lives."
"It makes sense, but I still have to ask you the most critical question. Why are you sure that I can't even hold on?" Long Wenzhou suddenly smiled and raised this question.
"This... the people in the city are shaken and have no fighting spirit. How can they still defend them?"
"And even Shicheng Pass has been broken. Our place is far inferior to that of the location, so we naturally cannot defend it."
Although Long Tianxing and the others hesitated for a moment, they still gave their own reasons. But Long Wenzhou was obviously not satisfied and shook his head gently: "Although what you said is some truth, it is not the key. In fact, whether it is Shichengguan or Duyuncheng, the key to whether it can be defended is people, and whether the enemy's inner response is hidden among our two sects!" At the end of the words, a sensational murderous aura appeared on his face.
Long Wenzhou, who had always been gentle and kind, suddenly showed his sharp edge at this moment, and the murderous aura suddenly suppressed the elders in front of him. As his eyes swept, they all quickly bowed their heads and dared not look at them anymore.
At this moment, these guys who were relying on their seniority immediately thought of the bloody storm that a few months ago, the city was shocked to hear the murder of the Sect Master and Long Tianba in Xunyang. On that day, many people from the Long family who coveted the position of the Sect Master and wanted to take the opportunity to seize power were all captured by elite soldiers guarding the city. Before everyone could react, the heads of these people were hung on the city wall.
So in the end, Long Wenzhou succeeded his father Long Tiande as the sect leader and took control of all the power in the city. However, in the eyes of many people, Long Wenyuan was the one who did all this. He led people to raid the mansions of the elders of this sect and ordered the killing of these powers who were not even willing to be at the time. As for Long Wenzhou, everyone thought that he was the one who enjoyed his achievements. Although he also had considerable political ability, he was far from convinced.
Because of this, the elder, led by the Long Tianfan Long Tianxing brothers, dared to come to the door at this time to force him to surrender.
But now, as his aura suddenly changed, everyone suddenly realized that the younger generations in this clan were far from harmless as they seemed to be on the surface. This made them feel a little regretful of their decision while they were thrilling in their hearts.
Only Long Tianfan was still making the final effort and said with a smile: "Wenzhou, you... you are too worried. We are all a family, how could we do something about being in touch with foreign enemies?"
"Is that?" Long Wenzhou smiled at him, "But didn't you say it just now, the three main sects over there are also family with you, so they colluded with them and helped them open the city, even if they can't get into the inside and out?"
"No... I don't mean that, we just care about you..." Under pressure, Long Tianfan was really panicked. He even said something difficult, and his body was sitting began to tremble slightly.
"Do you know how Shicheng Pass was lost? It was because someone suddenly led his army to rebel at night and opened the door from the inside, which made those traitors drive straight in and break through the pass and kill him." Long Wenzhou's eyes swept over these people again, but this time, they didn't even dare to say a word.
Because his meaning was already very clear, he was suspicious that there was such an insider in Duyun City now, and he would open the door to appeal to the thieves at a critical moment. In addition, with the strong murderous intent, everyone did not doubt that as long as he said something wrong, he might have to follow the footsteps of the dead brothers of the sect.
Seeing that he had completely suppressed the whole audience, Long Wenzhou smiled again: "You think we only have one way to surrender, but I think things have turned around at this time. The more we insist on fighting with them at this time, the more victory will belong to us. However, you will definitely not agree with my risk decision. To prevent you from making any stupid moves at critical moments, I can only feel wronged and stay here until we win."
As he said that, he had already stood up and walked out, and said to Long Wenyuan who was also standing up, "Wenyuan, take people here and look after them. If they are willing to obey, they will be the elders of our second sects, and they must take good care of them; but if they refuse to cooperate, they must escape and cause trouble..." He did not say the following words, but just glanced at everyone coldly, causing them to change their expressions one by one, and they could not even get up.
Long Wenyuan hurriedly agreed, and with his order, dozens of elite troops from the army who were unsheathed from the sheath came to the outside, and surrounded the hall tightly. Just by looking at this arrangement, we can see that Long Wenzhou was prepared and just waiting for them to fall into the trap.
This made everyone feel even more panicked, and one of them couldn't help but shout, "Wenzhou, you can't treat us like this, we are your elders..."
Long Wenzhou, who was walking out, suddenly stopped and the person turned around halfway: "I am the leader of the second sect. You are all my subordinates. You should act according to my wishes. Also, you may not know the principles of superiors and inferiority, right? If you dare to call me directly, you will be punished by the wrong intentions!"
