Hanging up and cultivating immortality in the troubled times

Chapter 58 Let him blow trumpets and drums, and kneel down to welcome him

Wang Tong's natural attitude left Yuan Suxin speechless and felt extremely helpless.

As a major sect in Shangzhou, the Zixiao Sect had a lot of exchanges with the Zhaoyang Army on weekdays, and she also had an understanding of Wang Tong's character.

Once this person decides on something, he basically won't change it.

Pei Zhiqing looked on anxiously, but there was nothing he could do. Compared with the Zhaoyang Army, the Zixiao Sect was still too weak.

At this time Zheng Qian spoke.

He stroked his gray beard and said in a deep voice: "Wang Jieshuai, if you want to expand your power, it's not just to occupy territory. Don't you need to increase the population under your rule?

"If you kill all the people, who will plow your fields, who will weave your cloth, who will pay your taxes, the people of Heyang City are not at fault, and you will do no good by killing them, so why bother?"

"What Daozhang Zheng said is right." Jiang Ping nodded in agreement, "Wang Jieshuai, for you, there is no benefit in capturing Heyang City and massacre. Even if you want food, you can still have a good talk."

The words of the two made Wang Tong's face change slightly, and he actually started to think about it.

This is certainly not because he thinks what Zheng Qian and Jiang Ping said makes sense.

It's because of the power behind these two people.

The Jiang family in Yinzhou is the largest clan in Huaixi, and Fang Hudao is the largest clan in Huaixi. If Wang Tong wants to conquer the seven states and manage Huaixi in the future, the support of these two families will definitely be indispensable.

The attitudes of these two families are still very important to him.

So, after some thinking.

Wang Tong took out the plan he had prepared before and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't necessarily want to massacre the city, but the person you want to persuade on this matter is not me, but the hero Lu.

"Previously, I sent an envoy to Heyang City and handed a letter to the man named Lu. As long as he is willing to do what the letter says, I can naturally spare the people in this city.

"But if he only cares about personal dignity, or disrespects the imperial laws, insists on disobeying orders, and violates the etiquette of the Qi Dynasty, then no wonder I sent troops to suppress the rebellion and massacre the city as a warning to the world."

"Da Qi etiquette?" Zheng Qian was startled when he heard this and looked at Jiang Ping next to him. He, a Taoist priest, really didn't understand the etiquette of the Da Qi court.

"What Wang Jieshuai is referring to is the etiquette of states and counties welcoming envoys?" Jiang Ping frowned suddenly and asked, "Building festival towers outside the city, blowing trumpets and drums, and holding seals to welcome them?"

"No." Wang Tong waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Ordinary states and counties can greet each other with seals in their arms, but he should kneel down and greet him with seals in his arms."

"What?" Jiang Ping's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

He had several interactions with Lu Heng, and he could feel the arrogance hidden under Lu Heng's gentle surface.

How could such a person hold his seal and kneel down to welcome him?

The talks will definitely collapse!

"If it's just a gesture of greeting, I'd like to help Commander-in-Chief persuade him." Zheng Qian said solemnly, "But if you just hug him and greet him, Commander-in-Chief makes it clear that he doesn't want to talk anymore."

"Is it possible that he can't even kneel down for the people of Heyang County?" Wang Tong frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Doesn't this mean that he is just trying to gain fame and reputation? Why should you two help him anymore?"

"You can't say that!" At this time, Yin Ping, who was standing aside, couldn't help it. She stepped forward to reveal her identity, but was stopped by her master Zheng Qian.

Immediately afterwards, before anyone else could speak, a messenger came to the camp.

"Jie Shuai, there is a man coming from outside the camp. He calls himself Lu Heng." The messenger knelt down on one knee and said in a trembling voice, "He, he said he came to take your head from your neck, Commander Jie."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the entire camp.

There is no sound, but the needle drop can be heard!
The faces of the few people who had just been trying to persuade Wang Tong not to attack the city changed drastically, and they turned their heads to look outside the camp in disbelief.

Lu Heng's words meant that their previous persuasion was in vain.

What is this trying to do?
Is he crazy? !

Wang Tong's face was livid, his eyes exuded strong murderous intent, and he sneered: "Okay, okay, okay! I didn't go to him, but he came to me. It's really... interesting!" Then, He looked at Zheng Qian and Jiang Ping again.

"Since he is seeking his own death, you don't need to stop trying to persuade him. I will capture him now and let him see the massacre of Heyang City with his own eyes, and let him know how those innocent people were killed by him!"

After saying this, Wang Yong directly opened the tent and walked outside.

Neither Zheng Qian nor Jiang Ping had time to stop them.

At this time, all of them were at a loss and had no idea what Lu Heng wanted to do.

It is extremely difficult to persuade Wang Tong not to massacre the city.

He actually came over to provoke me!

Does he really think that he can compete with the power of the three armies just by relying on his own strength?

This is a military formation that can forcibly suppress the strong men who have climbed to the end of the sky to the ninth level. Under the land gods, no one can resist this kind of power!

"No, we can't let things escalate!"

Under such circumstances, Pei Zhiqing was the first to come to her senses.

She was the first to rush out of the camp and followed Wang Tong.

The rest of the people woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed him out.

……

Wang Tong was conveying military orders while walking, ordering the entire army to be ready and to form military formations at any time.

After a while, he arrived at the entrance of the military camp and saw Lu Heng standing outside. There were two corpses lying on the ground.

"Are you Lu Heng, the hero Lu from Heyang County?" Wang Tong stared at Lu Heng fiercely, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and his anger became more intense, and he said in a deep voice, "You came here to die this time, could you be? Tired of living?"

The two corpses were both generals in the army, figures in the Ninth Level of Heaven. They had helped him conquer cities and territories and had made great achievements in battle.

"Jie Shuai, you are here!"

The marching commander Deng Ce hurriedly came over and pointed at Lu Heng outside, "This man is domineering and arrogant. As soon as he came, he said he wanted to take your head. General Shen and General Bai were so angry that they wanted to capture him, but they were beaten by him. The sword killed him!"

"Wang Jieshuai, please calm down!"

"There may be some misunderstanding about this matter!"

Zheng Qian and Jiang Ping also rushed over. At the same time, they kept winking at Lu Heng, asking him to explain the current situation and why he was doing this.

When Lu Heng saw them, he nodded and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Since I'm here, I'm confident that I will win. I must kill Wang Tong."

Zheng Qian and Jiang Ping suddenly felt that their vision went dark, and there were only two words left in their minds.

"It's over..."

Sure enough, Wang Tong was furious and his whole body was shaking with anger.

The Jiedushi of Zhaoyang Army stepped forward directly, his true energy surged, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, form a formation immediately, and kill the enemy!!!"

At the same time, Lu Heng opened his mouth and spat out, and the killing sword energy condensed with mana burst out.

Zheng!
The sound of the sword's sound moved like a crane chirping at the sky!

The sharp and murderous pure white sword light instantly cut through the sky!
He slashed directly at Wang Tong!
　My update time seems to be getting worse and worse...
