As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"What does this mean?!"
"Do you think we can't say a few words about family affairs?" Some elders asked angrily.
Some said quietly: "It seems that we are indeed getting old."
"The Xue family no longer needs me to wait for old age."
Some people even directly reprimanded and questioned, "How dare you speak like this when you are still young! Do you still have family laws and clan rules in your eyes?"
"I knew that the Xue family would be defeated sooner or later by a traitor like you!"
Obviously, they are not afraid of this junior Xue Wu, at least not as afraid as they are of Qianye.
The head of the Xue family spoke at this time and said: "All the elders and deacons will stay and make a decision together. This matter has been settled and there is no need to discuss it further."
Now that the head of the family had spoken, Xue Wu had no reason to persist. He lowered his head and sat down, his face livid. He had been scolded a lot just now, and his words had offended the public.
In any family, in any dynasty, keeping secrets is an important part of power and position, and none of the elders in this family would be willing to take the throne.
Ji Tianqing waited quietly. When the elders of the Xue family finished their quarrel, Fang said slowly: "Since the head of the family said he couldn't recognize it, I'll just say it bluntly. This is the emblem of the demon family."
Not many of the elders were moved. This badge has a strong demonic style, and anyone with a little knowledge can distinguish it. But not everyone has this knowledge about which family it belongs to.
The head of the Xue family looked a little ugly and muttered: "I'm sorry for my blindness, but I can't tell which family's emblem this is."
"The head of the family really can't see it?" Ji Tianqing did not hide her sarcasm.
Several of the elders looked at the head of the family, their expressions flickering.
No matter how rich the Xue family is, the head of the Xue family has no choice but to say, "This seems to be the family emblem of Mesfield." Mesfield is a famous family of demons, and their emblem is not like that of those little-known small families.
rare.
Ji Tianqing smiled slightly and said: "You old man finally has your eyesight. Yes, this is the emblem of the Masefield family. However, this emblem is a little special."
The head of the Xue family picked up the badge again, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said: "If I have good eyesight, this badge seems to belong to a certain... Marquis?"
There was a commotion among the elders of the Xue family. The Demonic Marquis was already a very important figure to them. Now this badge has fallen into Qianye's hands. Could it be that a Marquis has been killed?
The ridicule in Ji Tianqing's eyes became more and more obvious, and she said: "The master of the house is really good at joking, how can this badge belong to the Marquis? Since the master of the house must not say it clearly, then I am not polite. This badge belongs to the demon-born deputy duke Lin Jiaer.
"
"What?!" With a clang, the badge fell from the hands of the head of the Xue family on the table.
"Does the head of the family still want to ask if it is true or false?"
The head of the Xue family blushed slightly, but he still said bravely: "This badge is indeed the logo of the top management of Macefield, but there does not seem to be any personal emblem on it. I wonder how you can determine that it is Lin Jiaer?"
Ji Tianqing said: "This badge can only be owned by duke-level nobles. Needless to say. As for why it belongs to Lin Jiaer, it is very simple, because it was snatched from Lin Jiaer."
The elders looked at each other. Many of them had never heard of Lin Jiaer's name. The world outside the Neutral Land was already too far away for them.
The head of the Xue family obviously knew about Lin Jiaer. He tried his best to suppress it but could not hide his shock. He reluctantly said: "What do you mean by showing me a badge from Lin Jiaer?"
"It's very simple. This time the demon's backup fleet is led by Lin Jiaer. Now I can tell you that the demon's backup is gone." Ji Tianqing said directly.
The head of the Xue family was silent for a moment, then asked: "What do you want from our Xue family?"
Before Ji Tianqing could answer, an elder stood up and shouted: "Why do we believe that the demon descendant's backup has been lost? Do we just believe whatever you say, do you really think that we are eating for nothing? Take a step back and say
, even if what you said is true, Yongye is so big and powerful, wouldn’t it be enough to send another fleet? When the demon army arrives, the situation will definitely reverse!"
Before the head of the Xue family could speak, Qianye suddenly jumped up like a ghost, and the red light flashed away in his hand.
The elder was still talking, but suddenly his face changed drastically. When he looked down, he saw a few scarlet spots slowly spreading around his heart. The spots were very small, and in the end they were no more than the size of a pea. However, the elder felt weak all over, and even
I couldn't speak any words and slowly fell weak.
There was an uproar in the room, with exclamations everywhere. Everyone gathered around the elder who fell to the ground to check. Some were on guard against Qianye, but no one dared to attack.
The most terrifying thing about an opponent like Qianye is that he is not afraid of siege at all. In addition, his speed is too fast and his attacks are too fierce. Even in a group battle, most of the opponents he takes on will not escape death. The Xue family
These elders are all people who cherish their lives. Obviously, even at this time, no one wants to be the one who died unjustly.
Only a few people, including the head of the Xue family and Xue Wu, saw clearly that what was shot out of Qianye's hand were several extremely thin red lines. There was something special about these red lines, but they were extremely powerful. Once they were hit, the elder's life was cut off.
"Why is this!" The head of the Xue family asked loudly, surprised and angry.
Ji Tianqing still sat calmly and said: "This elder seems to be determined to side with the demon descendant. There is no other way but to send him to death."
"You killed people in my Xue family, and you didn't take us seriously?" an elder immediately scolded.
Ji Tianqing said calmly: "Don't you understand? We are determined to win this battle and there is no room for maneuver. As long as we stand on the side of the demon, no matter who it is, we will kill it immediately."
Another elder stood up and said angrily: "This is unreasonable! You are forcing our Xue family to turn to the devil!"
"If the Xue family turns to the devil, then we will wipe out the Xue family." Ji Tianqing said it lightly, as if the implication was not to break down the family and exterminate the family, but just a trivial matter.
The head of the Xue family couldn't calm down at this moment, and said slightly angrily: "You behave like this, it turns out that you are not here to discuss matters at all."
Before Ji Tianqing could speak, Xue Wu suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Master, don't you understand? They are indeed not here to discuss. They just want us to make a decision, whether to side with the empire or Yongye."
There was a sudden awkward silence in the hall.
Another elder asked tentatively: "What if my Xue family doesn't help each other?"
Ji Tianqing said coldly: "The war is imminent, how can we allow small details to affect the overall situation. Before the demonic back-up arrives, anyone who is not part of my empire will be uprooted!"
This was said so rudely that the head of the Xue family also changed his expression. He never expected that Ji Tianqing would not leave any room. He frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing people's hearts by doing this?"
"To this day, how can the empire need such wavering hearts? Where to go? Let the head of the family say something. If you don't want to side with the empire, then we will leave immediately."
The head of the Xue family smiled bitterly and said: "This, this is too urgent. Can you give me a little time so that we can discuss it?"
Ji Tianqing nodded: "Okay, half an hour." After saying that, he sat there motionless, showing the potential of a bad guest to bully his host.
The head of the Xue family smiled bitterly, stood up first, and walked out of the room. The elders looked at each other, took the body of the elder who fell to the ground, and filed out to discuss it themselves.
Qianye got up and stood in front of the window, looking thoughtfully at the endless row of Xue family mansions in front of him, silent.
Ji Tianqing came to his side, shrugged and said, "This is all Song Zining's idea. I'm just a sounding board. If you want to blame you, blame him! Come on, let me show you this."
With that said, Ji Tianqing threw a pamphlet to Qianye.
Qianye opened it and saw that there were dense conversations written inside, most of which were mentioned by Ji Tianqing. He couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this?"
"script."
In the meeting room in the courtyard next door, the elders of the Xue family were quarreling fiercely. There were still a few who held strong opinions and were extremely resolute. They did not dare to speak in front of Qianye, but at this moment facing their own people, they spoke freely and wanted to say
Just say whatever you want.
Most of the elders just wanted to negotiate more terms and get some benefits. As for how to distribute the benefits, they had differences and did not hesitate to have a big quarrel, as if the benefits had already been received.
The head of the Xue family frowned deeply and suddenly asked Xue Wu: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?"
Xue Wu had been silent at first, but now he said: "The head of the family still doesn't understand? Our use value is only so little."
"You and Qianye are familiar with each other, can you be accommodating?"
Xue Wu sighed softly and said: "The difference in strength is too big, how can we talk about accommodation? What's more, my Xue family, how can we have any old relationship with him?"
All the elders were silent. Looking back on the past, the Xue family had attacked Qianye overtly and covertly more than once, but suffered heavy losses. This so-called "love" was actually a result of being beaten to fear.
However, the conditions proposed by Ji Tianqing were so bad that there were almost no conditions at all. The head of the Xue family was still undecided.
At this moment, Xue Wu suddenly took a side step and ducked behind the two elders who had always had a tough attitude. With a flash of cold light in his hand, he took two short knives and pierced the two elders' backs!
Xue Wu suddenly attacked, shocking everyone. The head of the family shouted: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"
Xue Wuren fell to the ground with the corpses of the two elders, threw down the blood-stained dagger, and then said calmly: "It's just about the survival of the Xue family. These two people have received a large amount of benefits from the demons, so they are unwilling to agree. You can't do it for their own sake.
For personal gain, do you want the entire Xue family to be buried with you? No one objects now, head of the family, make your decision."
An elder sighed: "Why is it like this? Why is it like this? No matter how ferocious Qianye is, can he kill all of us in the Xue family by himself?"
"You can kill him." Xue Wu lowered his eyes and said, his expression as usual and his tone calm.
At this time, the room was completely silent, and no one asked questions.
"That's it, our Xue family surrenders to the empire!" The head of the Xue family finally made up his mind.
After a while, after hearing the decision of the head of the Xue family, Ji Tianqing straightened her body, and the aura of a peerless strong man emerged spontaneously, and she said calmly: "Congratulations, head of the family."
This simple congratulation scared all the Xue family members into cold sweats.
Xue Wu came to Qianye, his face was firm, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Sir Qianye, from now on there will only be a subordinate relationship, nothing else!"
