Although Deng Xilong and the others were still a little suspicious, fearing that Chen Yuan had set some trap that would catch them all, they felt relieved after feeling the fluctuation of the treasure in their arms.
Even Chen Yuan, who has more than a dozen first-grade combat powers, can't keep them.
Therefore, these people followed Chen Yuan into the cave.
The cave is not long, and after a while, everyone came to the valley.
Even though these people can be considered well-informed, they are the elites of this era.
But the scene before them still left them stunned.
Deng Xiangshou was trapped in the same place naked, and there were a dozen beautiful women who were also naked. In addition, there were all kinds of strange utensils, and there were many pavilions, pavilions, and even wooden houses and thatched houses.
There were also a dozen men who were killed. Judging from their clothes, you could tell that they were Deng family slaves.
The reason why they can be identified as slaves of the Deng family is because the clothes worn by the servants of the Deng family are regulated and have special markings.
Therefore, everyone recognized these people at a glance.
Everyone was very confused at this time and had no idea what was happening.
Deng Xilong was the first to react.
He glared at Chen Yuan: "Chen Zichu, how dare you humiliate my son like this? Our Deng family will fight you to the death."
After making peace, Deng Xilong directly took out his military book, and while casting spells, he said to the other Nanyang heroes: "Masters, Chen Zichu has humiliated us like this. If we don't rise up, our death will be around the corner."
Good guy, Deng Xilong really has two skills.
The response is also really fast.
No matter what Chen Yuan wants to do, it will definitely be detrimental to him anyway.
If that's the case, let's strike first.
Let's control Chen Yuan and others first. As for whether to kill them or not, let's talk to Liu Bei first.
Deng Xilong was not afraid of Liu Bei saying that they were rebelling. It was impossible for Nanyang's powerful people to rebel.
Because even if the dynasty changes, the current court will no longer treat them well.
Many of the privileges of Nanyang's powerful people come from their ability to assist Emperor Guangwu in unifying the world and their ability to follow the dragon. In addition, Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, which gave Nanyang its special status.
If they rebel, it will be fine if they succeed, but if they fail, everything will be over.
With such high risks, even a fool would not believe that Nanyang's powerful people would rebel.
Of course, he is domineering for sure, but as long as he doesn't rebel, the court will tolerate it.
Moreover, Nanyang's powerful people have not done anything out of the ordinary in recent years. They basically occupy the territory for themselves and only act arrogantly in Nanyang. They have never crossed the line.
Otherwise, with their power, they would have extended their tentacles to other parts of Jingzhou long ago.
After hearing Deng Xilong's words, other families did not hesitate too much.
They each took out their family heirlooms and had a fierce battle with Chen Yuan.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan had already deduced this situation in his mind, so he didn't panic.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai, Qin Jie and Chen Yuan are also six masters of level three or above.
Besides, there are still two thousand troops outside, including Guo Jia.
Seeing that Deng Xilong was about to take action, Chen Yuan just said a few words and Deng Xilong froze immediately.
…
"Deng Xilong, do you want the Deng family to die?"
Deng Xilong immediately stopped casting spells and looked at Chen Yuan with a livid face: "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand: "No, I am not threatening you, but stating a fact."
"What fact? The fact that my Deng family was destroyed is not because I look down on you. Let alone you, even today, I'm afraid I can't destroy my Deng family, let alone you."
Chen Yuan sighed, somewhat understanding why Nanyang Haoqiang performed so poorly in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, far behind Hebei Haoqiang, Yingchuan and Runan Haoqiang, and Huaisi Haoqiang.
There's something wrong with my eyesight.
Chen Yuan looked at Deng Xilong with pity: "The emperor may not be able to destroy your Deng family, but I, Chen Yuan, can. Do you know why?"
Although Deng Xilong felt that Chen Yuan was intimidating him, he still couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"Because Jingzhou is not a court."
What Chen Yuan said was a bit confusing.
However, although Deng Xilong has some vision problems, his IQ is not low.
After thinking for a moment, he understood what Chen Yuan meant.
The imperial court and the emperor should be concerned about the special status of the Nanyang tycoons and the achievements of their ancestors, and should not attack the Nanyang tycoons, lest the tycoons in other places would feel the sorrow of the death of a rabbit or a fox.
After all, you can deal with the Nanyang people who did their best for your old Liu family, so it's no big deal for us to deal with them.
This will cause turmoil in the country.
But Jingzhou is different.
Even though Liu Bei's surname is Liu, he doesn't need to worry about this.
Liu Bei's ancestors were Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, son of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty Liu Qi, and half-brother of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che. He was a prince of the former Han Dynasty, not the prince of the current dynasty.
You Nanyang people helped the old Liu family, but what does it have to do with my Zhuojun surname Liu? You helped Nanyang Liu, not Zhuojun Liu.
Of course, there can be a relationship if there is a relationship, after all, they both have the surname Liu.
Moreover, Liu Bei also took advantage of the surname Liu, otherwise he would not have been named Jingzhou Shepherd.
However, this connection is very weak and far-fetched.
The reason why Liu Bei was divided into Jingzhou Mu is mainly due to his contribution to suppressing the Yellow Turbans.
You must know that both Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were granted the title of state pastor.
Liu Bei's contribution is no less than those of the two, so there's nothing wrong with being granted the title of state pastor.
Therefore, if Liu Bei really gets rid of Nanyang's powerful people, the biggest pressure he will face is not the imperial court, but other powerful people in the world.
However, Liu Bei has now basically controlled Jingzhou. He has well-equipped troops, a rain of generals, a cloud of counselors, a large number of people and a vast territory, and he is not afraid of anyone in single-on-one combat.
Even if he was besieged by the governors of the surrounding counties, Liu Bei was not afraid.
What's more, it's still unknown whether they will be besieged.
After understanding this truth, Deng Xilong suddenly became cold all over.
He hadn't considered this issue before. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of it, it was just because of inertia. He had formed an inertia of thinking and no one would deal with them Nanyang people.
In the minds of Nanyang Haoqiang, as long as the imperial court exists for one day, they Nanyang Haoqiang can be happy for one day.
The worst outcome is that they can live in Nanyang.
…
They completely failed to consider that times have changed.
The imperial court no longer has enough strength to suppress the powerful local factions. To put it simply, the local princes have begun to rise.
The local princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty definitely did not start with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but began to rise during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. To be more precise, it was after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The current emperor basically has no control over the situation in the world.
I am afraid that only Luoyang and Henan Yin can control it.
The Hulao Pass in the east and the Tongguan in the west are probably not under the actual control of the imperial court.
Of course, today's imperial court still has great righteousness at hand. There are some fools and no one dares to come out and proclaim the emperor.
We can only wait until Yuan Shu, a fool, takes the initiative to proclaim himself emperor.
Even with Yuan Shu as a pioneer, no one proclaimed himself emperor again for many years. After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi took the lead in proclaiming himself emperor, and this was the beginning of the Three Kingdoms' reign of emperors.
Although Deng Xilong also felt that the imperial court's control over local counties was declining, he was still happy about it for a long time.
But now it seems that this may not be a good thing.
The Deng family can take the opportunity to increase their own strength, but Liu Bei in the south has increased his strength faster than himself, which is simply unreasonable.
"This star really wants to retire"
Liu Bei had only been in Jingzhou for a few years, less than two years.
Now Liu Bei's official strength already totals 70,000 to 80,000, not to mention that there are still some unknown troops.
In this way, Liu Bei is now a great prince with more than 100,000 troops.
Thinking of this, Deng Xilong was shocked.
He understood why Chen Yuan was so confident.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that except for Nanyang and Jiangxia, the other five counties in Jingzhou are not very powerful.
The lackluster situation here does not mean that they are not strong enough, but that their leader, the Cai family, was killed by Liu Bei.
Nowadays, the powerful people in these five counties are in disarray, and they have been clearly trained by Liu Bei.
Those who are obedient stay, and those who are disobedient have long since followed in the footsteps of the Cai family.
This is a question that Deng Xilong suddenly reacted to.
This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Yuan went south to Nanyang.
Because basically all the powerful people in the other five counties have fallen into the arms of the Prefectural Mufu, so they have no worries.
Could it be said that the Deng family should be like those people and bow to Liu Bei?
No, never!
Our Deng family in Nanyang will never compromise and there is still hope.
Liu Bei and Chen Yuan's attack on powerful families will inevitably arouse the hostility of other powerful families.
As long as you don't give in, and even raise the banner of resisting Liu Bei's tyranny, you will definitely get support from other powerful states and counties.
Maybe, the Deng family can once again lead Nanyang to become the most powerful in the world.
Done!
These thoughts flashed through Deng Xilong's mind instantly, and he made up his mind.
With determination, Deng Xilong's momentum changed.
A high-spirited momentum suddenly emerged, and Deng Xilong looked at Chen Yuan without fear: "Chen Zichu, I don't believe you dare to leave us here today."
After saying that, Deng Xilong didn't even look at Deng Xiangshou. He turned around and walked out with the people behind him.
…
Deng Xilong thought that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so after returning to the city, he published widely to denounce Liu Bei's tyranny.
It's a pity that he had a good idea, but Chen Yuan would not let him get his way.
Chen Yuan looked at Deng Xilong and said indifferently: "Has the Deng family chief asked me?"
Deng Xilong snorted coldly: "Chen Zichu, I can come when I want and leave when I want. What can you do to me?"
After saying that, he released some military registers and hung them above his head. The military registers hung down a series of mysterious lights to protect Deng Xilong. Other powerful men also followed the same example and hung the treasures above their heads to protect themselves.
Chen Yuan nodded. As he expected, this guy must have the confidence to dare to come.
Each of these treasures are dancing with divine brilliance and emitting powerful fluctuations. They are obviously not ordinary treasures, and their power must be extremely fierce.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan did not think of using force.
He smiled and pointed at Deng Xiangshou: "Master Deng, don't you want your own son too? Don't you want to know what he did?"
Deng Xilong glanced at his naked son with complicated eyes. Although he didn't know what Deng Xiangshou had done, it was definitely not a good thing.
Deng Xilong was a ruthless person, but he still loved his son very much, otherwise he would not have developed such a cruel and lustful character as Deng Xiangshou.
However, compared to the great family business, Deng Xilong could only give up his son.
Deng Xilong looked at Deng Xiangshou, and tears slowly flowed out of his eyes: "Xiang Shou, it's my father's fault. He didn't discipline you well. Now, my father can only feel sorry for you."
After saying that, Deng Xilong turned around and left again.
How could Chen Yuan let Deng Xilong succeed?
Facing Deng Xilong's angry eyes, Chen Yuan stopped in front of Deng Xilong: "Master Deng, if you leave, your son's affairs will be known to the whole world. Are you sure you want to leave?"
Deng Xilong was angry: "Chen Zichu, don't go too far. Do you really want to defeat the Nanyang families like me?"
Chen Yuan's eyes also became cold: "Deng Xilong, your son is extremely cruel. He keeps women in captivity, whips and humiliates them every day for fun, and even kills these women's relatives and villagers. His crime is so heinous that even the punishment of Lingchi is not an exaggeration. You
Shouldn't we give an explanation to the county government, an explanation to these women, and an explanation to the innocent people who died because of your son?"
Deng Xilong's face was cold, with no emotion in his eyes, and then he did something that no one could have imagined.
Deng Xilong looked at Deng Xiangshou: "Deng Xiangshou, now I am expelling you from the Deng family in Nanyang in the name of the head of the Deng family. From now on, you are no longer a member of the Deng family in Nanyang, and you are no longer my son, Deng Xilong. Yours
All actions are no longer related to the Deng family."
Good guy, Deng Xilong was ruthless enough and directly expelled Deng Xiangshou from the Deng family.
After Deng Xilong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan: "Deng Xiangshou is no longer a member of our Deng family, and his actions have nothing to do with our Deng family. Do our Deng family still need to give an explanation to the Chen Bie family?"
Deng Xilong is trying to survive with a broken arm.
Although he didn't know what Deng Xiangshou did, he could guess it when he saw the scene in the valley.
It's nothing more than humiliating women and killing people for fun.
To be honest, in Deng Xilong's view, this kind of thing is nothing.
But this kind of thing cannot be made public. Once it is made public, it will kill the society.
Therefore, we can only lose pawns to save the car.
Seeing that Deng Xilong was so rational and cold-hearted, Chen Yuan smiled coldly: "Deng Xilong, you think you can preserve the reputation of your Deng family in this way, you are wishful thinking!"
Deng Xilong was completely furious: "Chen Zichu, how do you treat me?"
"Deng Xiangshou not only insulted women and killed people for pleasure, but he also claimed to be me. This is a crime of treason and should be punished according to the law!"
Deng Xilong succeeded: "Chen Zichu, you fart, you dare to make false accusations and frame up the good family, aren't you afraid of the law of the court?"
Deng Xilong really didn't expect that Chen Zichu would accuse Deng Xiangshou of treason.
In Deng Xilong's view, this is completely slander.
Don’t you still know your own son?
You say he insults women and kills people for pleasure, he believes it.
But, saying that he is treason?
It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
