"Patriarch, the King of Xia has issued another order, those who resist and do not obey the order will be punished by the nine clans. At this time, you are still openly opposing the court. Are you going to bring the family into a place of eternal doom?"
In the City Lord's Mansion, two old men who were over seventy years old looked at Liang Zhang, the city owner of Taiyang City, with cold eyes!
The imperial court has ordered to abolish the system of city lords and change the system of prefectures and counties.
Although they were unwilling, Liang Zhang insisted on going his own way, still disobeying the holy order, and united with the local government of thirteen nearby cities to openly oppose the imperial court. This was simply leading them into the pit of fire!
?Because of Liang Zhang's relationship, the Liang family alone attained the Tao, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
Up to now, although the Liang family is not considered a big family, there are still hundreds of people in the family. If Liang Zhang still insists on going his own way and going against the court, the Liang family's decades of development will be destroyed in an instant!
And these two old men are both elders of the Liang family. They didn't want to watch Liang Zhang die, so after hearing King Xia's third imperial decree, they came to persuade Liang Zhang.
Hearing the words of these two old men, Liang Zhang frowned, and said: "Two elders, my Liang family has developed in Taiyang City for many years, and finally gained some status. If we follow the imperial edict and change the city lord system to a county The county system, my Liang family's power, status, and resources in this Yangcheng will all plummet!"
"Is status important or life important?!"
The old man at the head snorted coldly, and threw a secret letter in his hand to Liang Zhang, with an angry expression on his face, "It's fine if you don't follow the holy order, and you even secretly contacted the three major families in Taiyang City!"
"These three major families have just been subdued by the imperial court, but the relationship with the imperial court is still ambiguous. My Liang family is responsible for supervising these three major families in Taiyang City, but how dare you conspire with them? The imperial court knows that my Liang family will fall into a place of eternal doom!"
Liang Zhang frowned, and when he took a look at the secret letter, his expression changed slightly.
He looked at the two old men, and patiently persuaded him: "You two elders, this matter is not that simple, and we are not trying to make an enemy of the imperial court, but just want to have more bargaining chips so that King Xia can take back his order."
"My Liang family has developed in Taiyang City for many years. Now all the large and small industries in Taiyang City are related to us. Even the military strength of Taiyang City is in our hands. Many generals in the army are members of the family. One shot will move the whole body, and the imperial court will take back the military power, which is affecting the family's foundation, do you know it!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the two old men eased slightly.
However, after a moment of silence, the old man at the head still insisted: "No matter what, the old man does not agree with this matter!"
"Nowadays, the prestige of the imperial court is at the peak of the sky, and there are many strong people in the state of transformation, and there are even powerful people in the void return period. Regardless of whether the imperial court will take back the order, the head of the family must withdraw from this matter. Our Liang family cannot afford to gamble!"
Another old man also said: "The old man also disagrees with the Patriarch's decision, not to mention anything else, even the imperial court's Jinyiwei and the Eight Gates are beyond our ability to deal with!"
"Now there are Jinyiwei spies in Taiyang City, the Patriarch must sever contact with the three major families as soon as possible, otherwise if they are discovered, my Liang family will no longer have a foothold in this Great Xia!"
Seeing the resolute attitude of the two old men, Liang Zhang's face darkened, and he said coldly: "The Liang family has developed to its current status because of me, and I am the head of the family at this moment, if something happens, I, Liang Zhang, will bear it all. "
"you¡¡"
The old man at the head said angrily: "Hundreds of lives in the family are all tied to your one thought, can you afford it!"
"Affordable!"
Liang Zhang said coldly: "The two clan elders go back and rest. No matter what, I have decided on this matter, and no one can change it!"
"Come here, please go back and rest the two clan elders!"
The two old men looked angry, but there was nothing they could do. They turned around angrily and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of cold laughter in the hall. The two old men paused and their faces instantly became terrified, but they couldn't make any sound.
Immediately afterwards, two clouds of black mist rose in the hall, enveloping the two old men. In a short while, the two old men disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, a figure shrouded in black air appeared in the hall in vain.
Seeing this scene, Liang Zhang's expression changed, "You"
"Jie Jie Two disobedient old guys, what are you doing with them? City Lord Liang is too kind."
Looking at the figure covered in black air, Liang Zhang frowned with apprehension in his eyes, and said, "But there is no need to kill them directly!"
Although he is interested in these twoThe old stubborn was dissatisfied, but no matter what, he was always a member of the Liang family.
"Those who achieve great things, don't care about small details! It's inconvenient for Liang Chengzhu to take action, so I will do it for you."
Hearing this, Liang Zhang's face darkened slightly, but he didn't say any more. Everyone is dead, so it's useless to say more.
Heiying laughed and said, "I wonder how City Lord Liang is preparing?"
Liang Zhangdao: "I have already contacted the Thirteen Cities in Lingnan, and now the lords of six cities have agreed to participate in this matter, and many aristocratic clans have also agreed, and a few others are considering it, but they have not explicitly refused."
Soi Ying nodded with satisfaction, "That's good! Don't worry, City Lord Liang, as long as you cooperate, what is this little City Lord of Taiyang? I will guarantee you the throne of King Xia!"
The throne of King Xia!
A fiery look flashed across Liang Zhang's eyes, then he took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, frowned, and said, "As far as I know, both Jinyiwei and Eight Doors have already started to attack, at most tomorrow, maybe it will be To Lingnan"
Heiying smiled and said, "City Master Liang can develop with peace of mind. No matter who it is before, I can help you block it."
Hearing this, Liang Zhang looked slightly relieved, but looking at the black shadow exuding an evil aura, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although he resisted the edict and resisted the imperial court's reform before, he had no intention of going against the imperial court.
But just last night, the man in black suddenly came to him and said that he was willing to help him ascend to the throne of King Xia.
Originally, he still had some doubts, but after the Taiyang city guard who was stronger than him, like the two old men just now, disappeared in front of his eyes without a sound, he no longer had any doubts.
Immediately afterwards, the ambition buried in the bottom of my heart also burst out.
He knew that the man in black was also uneasy and kind, but the current situation was beyond his control. No matter what, he could only follow the man's orders, otherwise he would die faster.
Moreover, the temptation of being King Xia is indeed worth his gamble!
Thinking of this, Liang Zhang felt a little relaxed, and the worry in his eyes turned into firmness.
At this time, the piercing and gloomy voice of the black shadow sounded again, "I don't have much time, and City Lord Liang has to hurry up. If there is any need, I can take action at any time, but for a maximum of three days, I must control the entire Lingnan!"
Liang Zhang's face turned serious, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, two days are enough!"
"That's good! Then I won't disturb you."
As he spoke, the black figure gradually dissipated, turning into a black mist and escaping into the void, which was extremely strange.
Boom!
However, at this moment!
A vast aura descended on this place in vain, and the spiritual energy in the entire world violently stirred up at this moment.
And with the arrival of this momentum, the figure that had just escaped into the void suddenly appeared in the hall again.
The body of the black shadow trembled, and he looked up into the air in vain, and his voice was horrified, "Thishow is it possible?!"
Liang Zhang also had a shocked expression on his face, and his eyes were full of bewilderment. In front of this aura, he at the fifth floor of the transformation stage was as weak as a baby!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
At this moment, black air filled the air, and five black shadows appeared in front of the man in black just now. The body was also wrapped in a strange black mist, and the six black shadows had almost the same aura, evil and deep.
Seeing this scene, Liang Zhang's pupils shrank, there are five more? !
"This breathis this from Daxia?!"
The six dark shadows ignored Liang Zhang behind him, and all looked up at the sky with horrified voices.
"Invincible! Go!"
As soon as the six people moved, they wanted to leave.
But at this moment, a vast aura suddenly enveloped the six people.
At the same time, an all-encompassing plain gaze directly crossed the barriers and landed on the six people.
Under the locked gaze, the black shadows of Liu Dao froze and could no longer move. The faces of the six people were horrified, and a thought arose in their hearts at the same time¡ª¡ª
It's over!
