After a pause, Xiong Ren said with a wry smile: "Master, I will never be willing to give up a few cities like this!"
"What can we do if we are not willing to give in?" Old Man Xiong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "We have no other choice. If we fight, with our current strength, we will only be wiped out."
"Don't we have the Qin family as an ally? Will the Qin family watch our Xiong family perish?" Xiong Ren asked thoughtfully.
"My Xiong family is no longer the Xiong family we used to be. Now to the Qin family, our Xiong family is worthless. Do you think Old Man Qin will still like my Xiong family as much as before?" Old Xiong said bitterly.
"But the Qin family's plan cannot be separated from my Xiong family!" Xiong Ren said in a deep voice.
"No matter who you leave, the earth will still rotate. Without my Xiong family, the Qin family can still find the Hao family in the southeast or the An family in the northwest to form an alliance, right?" Old Man Xiong said with a shrug.
After a pause, Old Man Xiong pursed his lips and said: "The chaos in martial arts is coming, and the Qin family can also be smarter than some aristocratic families in the martial arts world."
"Martial arts world?" Xiong Ren was stunned and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house?"
And as far as Xiong Ren knows, if they want to control the greatest power, urban families cannot form alliances with aristocratic families or sects in the martial arts world. This is the principle and the bottom line.
After all, if aristocratic families and sects in the world of martial arts are allowed to gain power, the consequences will be self-evident. No one can judge what direction they will take Dahua.
What's more, according to the agreement between Dahua and the martial arts world, even if there are aristocratic families and sects in the martial arts world that want to form an alliance with the urban families, the martial arts alliance will not agree!
Well...whoever wants to do that is making himself an enemy of the Martial Arts Alliance. Who can bear the consequences?
Old Man Xiong naturally understood these truths. He shrugged and said: "Although Dahua has an agreement with the martial arts world, and both parties have been abiding by this agreement, the agreement is dead and the people are alive. According to Old Man Qin's
Wise, he will definitely find a way to deal with it."
"Master, after hearing what you say, we are going to be abandoned by the Qin family!" Xiong Ren said with a wry smile.
"It's not like giving up." Old Man Xiong shook his head and said: "Although we lost to Ye Qing and suffered heavy losses, we still have control of several bases. At this point, the Qin family cannot give up on us, but...
, they will no longer pay attention to us. In the past, as long as our Xiong family was in need, the Qin family would definitely ask for people and money. But from today on, I am afraid that the Qin family will have something.
kept."
After a pause, Old Man Xiong narrowed his eyes again and said, "Of course, our Xiong family has one last chance."
"Master, do you mean to kill Ye Qing?" Xiong Ren asked thoughtfully.
"Yes." Old Man Xiong nodded and said: "As long as Ye Qing is successfully killed at Xianghe Peak in Wucheng tonight, not only will we not lose the five cities south of Pingcheng, but we may also turn defeat into victory."
"Master, even if we kill Ye Qing, Pingcheng has already fallen into the hands of the Luo family. I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back, right?"
"Yes!" Old Man Xiong responded and said: "There is no way to get Pingcheng back, but at least the five cities south of Pingcheng can be saved."
"Why?" Xiong Ren asked a little puzzled.
"It's very simple. When Ye Qing dies, the Ye family will be in chaos. How can the Ye family control the south of Pingcheng? Well... It's already good that the orphans and widows of the Ye family can manage the city construction." Old Man Xiong said with narrowed eyes.
"That's true!" Xiong Ren nodded.
It can be seen that this pair of master and servant still despise women.
To be honest, even if Ye Qing really dies, with the ability of the women of the Ye family, even if they are unable to expand the territory, they can still protect the three cities that the Ye family currently controls.
"That's right." Old Xiong looked at Xiong Ren, pursed his lips and asked, "Is there any news from Xianghe Peak?"
"Master, not yet!" Xiong Ren shook his head and responded.
"Have you contacted Yuan Sheng?" Old Man Xiong asked again.
"I was worried that Yuan Sheng and the others were fighting against the enemy, and I was afraid that contacting them would affect them, so I didn't. Instead, I planned to wait for them to be successful and contact us myself." Xiong Ren responded.
"Well!" Old Man Xiong nodded and said, "You are right to do this. They cannot be easily disturbed."
"Master, why don't you go and have a rest? If there is news from Yuan Sheng, I will report to you again?" Xiong Ren looked at Old Xiong and said.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore!" Old Man Xiong shook his head and said, "This man is old and can't fall asleep once he is awakened. Don't leave either. Stay with me for a while and we'll wait for the results together."
The wait was very long, and the master and servant were on pins and needles. After all, the battle at Xianghe Peak would be their last hope.
It was only after five o'clock in the morning, and it was almost dawn, that there was no news.
The two of them became even more uneasy. In the end, Old Man Xiong asked Xiong Ren to send spies from Wucheng to investigate the situation in the direction of Xianghe Peak.
Soon, a video was sent back by the spies. Well... it was about the situation in Xianghe Peak.
Watching the video, Xiong Ren closed his eyes in despair.
Seeing his appearance, Old Man Xiong's heart skipped a beat and he asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"Master, they are all dead!" Xiong Ren said bitterly.
"Why are they all dead?" Old Man Xiong asked anxiously.
Although he thought of something, he just didn't want to admit it.
Xiong Ren responded: "All our warriors at Xianghe Peak."
Old Man Xiong said in a deep voice: "Show me the video."
Xiong Ren hesitated, hmm... He was worried that his master would be extremely angry after watching the video sent by the spy.
"Give it to me!" Old Man Xiong shouted in a deep voice.
There was no other way, so Xiong Ren had no choice but to hand the phone to Old Man Xiong. The video showed a scene of corpses strewn in the Xianghe Peak. It was as miserable as it could be.
Hmm... The body of "Yuan Sheng" also appeared in the picture.
Of course, Ye Qing asked Huang Haiqiang to send people to forge this corpse. Huang Haiqiang's men found a male corpse somewhere similar to Yuan Sheng's stature elsewhere, and then destroyed the appearance so that it was impossible to tell.
People are not Yuan Sheng.
The reason for doing this is naturally to confuse Old Man Xiong.
After all, Yuan Sheng might have the location of the Xiong family's secret warrior base. If Old Xiong hadn't discovered Yuan Sheng's body in Xianghe Peak, he would have probably moved the people and things in that base.
Therefore, Ye Qing must tell Old Man Xiong that Yuan Sheng is dead. Only in this way will Old Man Xiong not give up the base easily, and Ye Qing can also find opportunities to destroy the base.
Watching the video, Old Man Xiong's face became paler and paler.
"puff……"
Finally, another splash of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he fell down...
