"Don't worry, two family heads. With Bai Emperor here, we will be happy." Mu Tianqi said, "If this matter is settled, I believe that you two will be able to show your face in front of Bai Emperor, and the benefits will be even greater in the future. Could it be that
Don’t you want to leave Muge City and develop your family into the Holy Emperor City? Let more people know about your family’s reputation? Be famous all over the world and go down in history forever?”
Both Gong Zizhen and He Xingzhou knew that Mu Tianqi was trying to trick them. But such words were too tempting and no one could resist. Who among the aristocratic families didn't want their family to be immortal? To have eternal glory?
They have stayed in this Muge City for a long enough time. They have dominated the area for the past hundred years. However, to the aristocratic families in the Holy Emperor City or the Millennium Sect, they are just a drop in the dust and not worth mentioning.
If they can really gain the favor of Bai Emperor, perhaps it will be their chance to enter the truly upper-class world.
The two looked at each other and said to him, "Okay, let's cooperate."
Mu Tianqi smiled.
The next day.
Twelve thousand disciples set off, and hundreds of flying boats set off from Muge City.
Each of the four major families sent out 3,000 men. The heads of the four major families went to battle in person.
The sky above Muge City was filled with darkness. All the people stood on the streets and watched. A battle was about to begin.
…
The news that the four major aristocratic families were planning to attack Hengcheng quickly spread throughout the God Realm as if it had wings.
Soon, Hengcheng also received the news.
The people in the city immediately panicked.
Is their leader a fugitive? Is he a remnant of the Rong family? When war breaks out, won't they be the first to suffer?
Suddenly, the people were no longer calm. They were fleeing and turbulent, and people in the city were soon panicked.
To attack a city, attack the heart first.
Of course, this news was specially released by Mu Tianqi and others. If the people in the city are unstable, it will be more beneficial to them.
Before they arrived, their reputation had already spread throughout the country, and other aristocratic families had even joined along the way. After five days, the team had expanded from the original 12,000 to 16,000 people.
It's not far from Hengcheng.
In the city.
Rong Batian and others looked serious, and everyone gathered in the hall to discuss important matters.
"Mu Tianqi's gang of turtles deceived the public with their lies and won over many families along the way. They also drew up a list of the Rong family's eighteen deadly sins and announced them to the world. They printed tens of thousands of copies and distributed them to towns passing by.
Nowadays, people are so angry that everyone in the world thinks that we are vicious fugitives and they are attacking us. Now the situation is not good for us..."
How despicable it is to use public opinion to make them lose the support of the people!
Yu Lang said, "Now people in the city are in panic. People often make troubles, and there are also voices of opposition. We have arrested a few of the leaders, but we can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Lu Qingzhu said, "There must be some trickery by the enemy among these people. Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental?"
"I think we'll arrest them, drag them to the square, behead them, and show them to the public. I'll see who dares to cause trouble!" Meng Yu waved his hand.
"This is playing into their scheme. They just want us to do this. As long as we do this, they will have more reason to incite public sentiment, which will only backfire and lead to more chaos."
Lu Qingzhu analyzed.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to let them pour dirty water on us?" Meng Yu was angry.
"Calm down first. Only if we get into trouble will we really play into their hands."
Meng Yu gasped with anger.
Rong Batian observed the terrain and sand, "How many men and horses do we have now?"
"Including those who are out, there are seven thousand people in total."
"There are enough weapons, food, grass, and elixirs to last for a month."
"There is also a mountain waterfall, and there are currently eight thousand defenders."
"Don't move these people yet. Where is the young master?"
"Young Master is taking someone out."
They have been preparing for a battle since they returned from Dusk Song City. Although the previous raid was a complete success, it was not enough to shake its foundation.
Therefore, this battle is of vital importance. Because everyone is paying attention to it, if the four major families lose, they can severely weaken their spirit. But if they lose... they will lose the last place of refuge in Heng City.
.
Of course, even if they face the four major families and tens of thousands of enemies, they are not afraid. What's more, they still have another paradise in their hearts.
…
Ling Xuewei sat on a towering tree and looked at the army encamped below from a distance. It was vast and stretched for dozens of miles.
The four major aristocratic families have arrived. They are stationed eighty miles away from Heng City. Ling Xuewei casts out micro bees and begins to detect the enemy's situation. Soon, she finds the main tent of the enemy camp, where Mu Tianqi and the others are discussing matters.
"We don't have much time, we need to fight quickly."
"Tomorrow, gather the team and let's go negotiate." Ouyang Tiangang said.
"Negotiation? Is there still a need for negotiation?" He Xingzhou asked.
"It would be best if we could fight without losing any blood."
Ouyang Tiangang said calmly, "Send a message to Rong Batian. We will wait for him at the Repulse Bay Suspension Bridge at 3:30 noon tomorrow."
negotiation?
What's their plan?
Ling Xuewei withdrew from the monitoring screen and said to Bai Ze, "You continue to monitor."
She returned to Hengcheng.
Here, Rong Batian also received the summons.
"Sir, you are back."
Seeing her, Meng Yu and others immediately stood up.
"Mu Tianqi invites you to negotiate?"
"That's right."
"Young Master, do you know?" Lu Qingzhu was surprised, Ling Xuewei said, "I just came back from outside and happened to hear their conversation through the monitor."
I see.
"What do you think?" she asked again.
Rong Batian narrowed his eyes, raised his head for a moment, "I'll go."
"No! It's too dangerous!" Yu Lang said first, "What if it's a trap? The war is coming. If something happens to you, it will definitely affect the morale of the army."
"Lao Yu is right, but I don't agree with it either," Meng Yu also said.
"If I don't go, I will give them the opportunity to criticize them verbally." Rong Batian said, "This will really shake the morale of the army."
"But……"
What else did they want to say? Ling Xuewei waved her hand and looked at Rong Batian, "Have you decided?"
Rong Batian nodded, "Negotiations have always been indispensable in wars. It is also a time to show off one's own military power. As the commander, I have to go."
He has decided to go.
"Okay, be careful."
Ling Xuewei knew that it was useless to stop him, not to mention that everything he said made sense.
The two looked at each other, and Rong Batian nodded gently to her.
"Then I'll go with you."
Yu Lang spoke.
"I'll go too!" Meng Yu also stood up.
"No, you stay. Yu Lang, you come with me."
Yu Lang nodded.
"Why?"
"You stay, follow the young master, and guard the rear."
Meng Yu had no choice but to agree.
The next day.
At three quarters noon, Repulse Bay Suspension Bridge.
When Rong Batian and Yu Lang appeared, Ouyang Tiangang and Mu Tianqi were already waiting.
