Chapter 325: The Clan Exterminated and the City Perished

There were more than hundreds of people, not only near the West Realm City, but many others were forcibly escorted by Zong Shou from the three provinces of Huanlong. The faces are all different. Either joyful, or awe-inspiring, or resentful, or respectful.

Even the treatment is different, some people sit under the neat rows of warm tents, with a stove around them. Some people can only stand alone in the snow.

Ren Bo looked into the distance again, and saw rows of wooden piles in the distance, facing the city wall. Every twenty steps, there is a corpse hanging above. There are more than 30,000 pieces, both men and women, all of which have been frozen to death due to the cold weather. Looking at it from a distance, it feels chilly.

The most conspicuous person is the frontmost Taoyun city lord, Yue Guanyun! And the rest of the people should be from those rebellious cities, he had already heard about it on the way, it was different from the lenient treatment of those who either voluntarily or were forced to surrender everywhere when the Zongshou attack swept through the magic dragon Tianfang and the three provinces of Xipin These methods of betraying the city can be called cruel!

Surrender was hardly accepted. Below the city lord, including his cronies and subordinates, all of them were killed, and his family was almost extinct.

Ren Bo couldn't bear it in his heart, but he knew that there was nothing wrong with Zong Shou's move.

However, they are sensitive to find that most of these wooden frames are above the age of sixteen.

Ren Bo smiled slightly, and looked away: "Your Majesty seems to be a little too harsh on these city lords? I remember that when the first king was here, he treated these city lords like brothers and sisters on the surface, and never hurt their face. But secretly There is a difference between closeness and closeness. Being close to loyal vassals will always give more benefits. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, so we can win over and divide—"

"Is that so?"

Zong Shou knew it instantly, compared to Zong Weiran. One's own methods are inferior.

But this is the way of the king, he really doesn't understand it very well. Although he spent some time in the shopping malls before, he had two or three kittens under him, and they were suppressed just after seeing the dawn of their rise.

But then Zong Shou didn't care, anyway, he didn't care much about these people. Not to mention the time and effort, it's better to be more straightforward to juggle these methods.

Now let's get straight to the point: "The prime minister came all the way here. But what about the Hongcheng matter, there is a result? So what is Gu's harvest this time?"

"Based on the 50% agreed upon at the beginning. Your Majesty's income is 2 million Tier 4 beast crystals! But that doesn't include the beast crystal materials in your two Cosmos Bags——"

Ren Bo was also unambiguous, and handed over a few animal skins in his hand: "Here is the list. There is also the approximate number of animal crystals that I should use when I go to Tianshan Mountain next year. According to the king, it is the budget."

Before the fleet set sail that day, he never imagined that the benefits of hunting in the sea of ​​clouds would be so huge. I knew it earlier. It should be pressed again.

Zong Shouze's cheeks twitched, this Ren Bo really wanted to take money out of his pocket, he was really a traitor.

"Prime Minister. Why don't you count the additional investment of the 800 yuan crossbow that I bought alone on the Tongling Island?"

Seeing Ren Bo's half-smile, he didn't answer. Zong Shou's breath was slightly suffocated, and for the first time facing this veteran, he felt defeated and deflated. Then he glanced over this matter and looked at the 'budget' made by Ren Bo in his hand.

The first to jump into view. It was the 'borrow' from him that was cut by a full 50%. For good reason. It is Qian Tianshan's current finances that are sufficient to support it.

Zong Shou's eyelids twitched. Resisting the urge to depose Ren Bo, he continued to read.

Then he said thoughtfully: "The prime minister's budget seems a little weird! Based on this calculation, most of the beast crystal soul stones will fall into the hands of the martial arts masters in the city."

Hearing this, Ren Bo leaned slightly: "Exactly! Ren Bo has carefully considered that if too many beast crystal soul stones flow into the market, it will only depreciate greatly and reduce the wealth of the people in the city. Therefore, after careful consideration, it is best to let It’s better to consume these things as soon as possible.”

Zong Shou's eyes brightened slightly, and 90% of the previous anger disappeared immediately. In this era, it is rare to see people who know that too much currency will depreciate the wealth of the people.

Although he is dissatisfied with Ren Bo's stinginess, he can barely use it. Taking a closer look, the Tiegang Palace has already been more than half completed.

"Very well, this is so lonely!"

Just saying that, Zong Shou saw a group of knights galloping towards him in the distance. The leader is none other than Zong Yuan. He dismounted and said politely: "Your Majesty, Xie Rong is unwilling to surrender!"

Zong Shou immediately raised his eyebrows, showing a slight coldness: "Have you spared them any children under the age of sixteen?"

Seeing Zong Yuan's silence for a while, Zong Shou realized it in his heart, and then said in a cold voice: "Since he must die with the city, let him be fulfilled and push those Yuan Mie crossbows out."

Ren Bo's expression moved slightly, and he looked towards the front of the army, only to see hundreds of Yuan Mie crossbows being pushed out, pointing in the direction of the West Realm City. The 200,000 people cheered again and again!

Ren Bo knew that Zong Shou had always carried the Yuan Mie Crossbow in his Qiankun bag and went to battle with the army. However, it was not used a few times in total. The party leveled the three provinces and defeated the army, mostly in field battles. Yuan Mie's crossbow was inconvenient to launch, inconvenient to arrange, and too expensive, so it was useless a few times in total. It seems that in the end, Zong Shou planned to use it here to frighten the cities.

But when you think of a volley, the eight hundred and six-level beast crystals that need to be consumed are almost equivalent to one-third of the previous annual income. Ren Bo only felt a pain in his flesh: "Your Majesty, although this Yuan Mie Crossbow is good, it consumes too much. It is better to use it sparingly in the future."

Zong Shou glanced at him, and then shook his head again: "I feel lonely that the lives of my subordinates are stronger than these dead things. Xie Rong has the will to die, and there is no need to fight them desperately—"

As soon as these words came out, all the guards around the jade chariot were slightly moved, their faces flushed with excitement. I just feel that to follow such a master, even if I die in battle, I am willing to do so.

Ren Bo was also taken aback, then smiled approvingly and looked into the distance. But after a while, the 800 Yuan Extinguishing Crossbow entered the process of accumulating power.

But in the next moment, the city gate suddenly opened. Headed by Xie Rong, a group of generals from the Western Realm City walked out of the city gate with pale faces.

Hu Zhongyuan sneered, and commanded a group of knights to gallop away. But for a moment. He forced the pedestrians to kneel down one by one in front of the hill.

Then Chai Zhou rode his horse and crossed his axe, galloped up to Xie Rong, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you remember what you said on the Tongling Island?"

Xie Rong's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word, but Chai Zhou was not annoyed either.

"You said that you are young and incompetent, and you can't convince you, and you don't believe that you can lead you to hunt under the sea of ​​clouds. Therefore, the more you watch the clouds, the more you have to go. It is a blessing in your life to be able to switch to Taoyun City. -"

Speaking of this, Chai Zhou's face was full of sneer: "Then how about now? Would you like to say these words again?"

Xie Rong was still silent for a while, in fact, he didn't need to answer what happened now.

Four thousand cloud ships, under the sea of ​​clouds, smashed their halberds and sank into the sand. But Qiantian Mountain, which he was not optimistic about, returned with a full load. Even Yue Guanyun was cut into two parts, and died in a miserable state.

Of the four provinces under its banner, only one province is left, lingering on its last legs.

In fact, as early as the 20th day, I felt regretful. If I knew this earlier, why bother?

At that time, after going through untold hardships, I finally escaped back. In fact, it was not that I did not have the idea of ​​giving up, and wanted to abandon the city and flee. But in the end, luck prevailed, and when he realized that the situation was not good, Zong Shou attacked the three provinces of Huanlong with a sweeping momentum. When he really wanted to escape, he was already desperate.

As soon as a soft sigh came out of his mouth, Xie Rong saw a bright ax flash. Immediately, he felt a chill on his neck, and the next moment, his head was thrown high. The field of vision rolled until it lost sight of everything.

At this moment, Zong Shou also abandoned the luxurious chariot and rode a fourth-rank horse to the front of the hill.

Seeing that Xie Rong, together with all the generals of the West Realm City, were beheaded one by one by the people below.

Zong Shou's eyelids trembled slightly, and he turned to look behind him, the lord of the cities.

"The situation here, can you see clearly?"

The people staying in the warm tent at this moment also came out one after another. Both newcomers and old people stood in the wet and cold mud with respectful expressions.

And no matter if they feel trembling, admiration, dissatisfaction, or fear in their hearts, they all hold their breath, and dare not even breathe out in front of Zong Shou.

"—Gu is different from my father. My father treats you too well, like brothers and sisters. Zong Shou is not so patient. Today, I will tell you with the proof of heaven. If you and other cities dare to have another heart, Zong Shou will definitely kill you." The city, the country that destroys children! Before saying these words, Mo Dao said so unexpectedly—"

After finishing speaking, he smiled softly, did not return to the chariot, and rode away on his horse.

The 200,000 Tianshan elites who were deployed outside the city were left alone. Only Zong Yuan organized a cavalry army of 20,000 in a short time, and then caught up.

The smoke and dust flew up, and after a long time, the hills were once again silent.

When Zong Shou and the group of elite riders left, there was no one on the small hill. All the talents raised their heads one after another, first looked at each other with complicated eyes, and then left one after another, also in groups of three or five, talking all the way.

Most of them are divided into two groups. One group is the original city-state masters under Qiantian Mountain. They all look relaxed. But he and Qian Tianshan both prospered and lost, and he didn't take it too seriously, but was mostly happy.

And from the three provinces of Huanlong and Tianfang Xiping, there is another group, but their complexions are all slightly pale.

A middle-aged man with a thin face was also in it. He is about seven and a half feet tall, with a long sword on his waist and a Confucian uniform around his body.

There are also many familiar people around, knowing that he is Zi Donglai, the former Dragon City Lord of the big city in Tianfang Province, and they all flock to him immediately.

Zi Donglai didn't pay any attention to it, he just stared at Zong Shou in the direction of his departure. ! .
