Elder Teng Yuan has already begun to mobilize his troops and began to gather in Xiangrong City. Most of the legion forces of the three major palaces are distributed in the west. None of the members of the palace would agree.
Now Elder Teng Yuan can only gather all his strength in Xiangrong City in the name of rescuing the trapped people, and put a certain amount of pressure on Vientiane City.
Of course, everyone knows that the three major palaces that have lost many high-level personnel will only pay a lot of sacrifices if they only rely on their strength to compete with the Soul Alliance.
…
After the Xiangrong City War ended, the peace of the past was quickly restored.
In the early morning, the sun bathes the evergreen plants in all seasons, and the dewdrops shine beautifully in this new morning, and the whole city is still beautiful and moving.
Most of the three palace legions were stationed outside the city. After the war, they didn't have the heart to destroy the tranquility of the city. After all, this city already belonged to the three palaces.
The city gate opened, and on the roads in the lush forest on both sides, a group of holy guards were driving the horned beasts galloping.
When Shengwei arrived at the city, he saw that Elder Teng was already on the tower, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Old Elder, Soul Alliance Poison Famine is fifty kilometers away."
Elder Teng Yuan frowned, it must not be a good thing for people from the Soul Alliance to appear here at this time.
"The old spiritual master De and the young master Tenglang are in his hands, and they have sent war documents." Shengwei said.
Elder Teng Yuan trembled slightly. He was most worried about his son Teng Lang, and it was obvious that Du Huang Nie Yunbin was negotiating with them in the name of Soul Alliance!
"Bring them here!" Elder Teng Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Yes!" After saluting, Shengwei turned around and galloped towards the east.
Elder Teng Yuan stood on the tower and waited quietly, his heart was extremely complicated, he was guessing what the other party's intentions would be.
However, time seemed to pass very quickly. When Elder Teng Yuan came back to his senses, the holy guards gathered around a group of people on the green avenue of the outer city and rushed towards here.
Elder Teng Yuan quickly saw the leader among the group of people, and saw Teng Lang bound to a beast-type soul pet.
Elder Teng Yuan's mood fluctuated slightly, and he looked at Nie Yunbin, who was getting closer and closer, with a blank expression on his face.
"Elder, Delao Spiritualist is still fifty kilometers away. If we rashly attack these people, Delao Spiritualist will be killed on the spot." Elder Kuang whispered to Elder Teng Yuan.
Elder Teng Yuan nodded, this is a means of exchanging prisoners of war. He didn't speak, just looked down.
"Elder Teng Yuan, please stay safe." Nie Yunbin raised his head and looked at Elder Teng Yuan and several other elders on the tower.
"Speak up if you have something to say." Elder Teng Yuan didn't have the time to be hypocritical with such a person.
"Hehe, you've seen it too. I sent Mr. Ling here all the way to reunite your family. Why should Mr. Teng be so vicious." Nie Yunbin said unhurriedly.
Elder Teng Yuan looked at Nie Yunbin coldly.
"Our Master Xia Hua is in your hands. My visit this time is naturally a simple hostage exchange. Elder Teng Yuan asked me to take Master Xia Hua away. We will immediately release Young Master Ling and the old man De who is fifty miles away." Nie Yunbin Open your mouth and say.
After finishing speaking, Nie Yunbin added another sentence: "By the way, in a month's time, we will directly execute all those who do not want to surrender, and Mr. Ling and Old Spirit Master De are both on the list of those who do not want to surrender. If the elder nods, Young Master Ling will stand beside you safe and sound, and if he shakes his head, we will politely send you a whole body in a month."
What Nie Yunbin said made everyone's eyes fall on Elder Teng Yuan.
The hostage Xia Zhixian can be said to be the only captive bargaining chip of the three major palaces. If they lose it, they really don't know what to exchange for Tuzun and Chenzun who are likely to fall into the hands of the soul alliance.
"Old Teng, this is the death document of the Soul Alliance. It has a long list of those who surrendered and those who did not surrender. The blood-red name means that the people on the execution platform will be executed one month later. Other elders, elders, and palace masters , Palace Master, and Guest Qing can check to see if there is someone you care about. If there is, the matter is very simple. Send a letter of surrender, and then put the name of the person you care about, and our lord Xiongshou will temporarily pardon him. They." Nie Yunbin said.
Threat to surrender!
Everyone expected that the Soul Alliance would make this move, but when the execution document and surrender document were issued at the same time, it still put enormous psychological pressure on the members of all three major palaces!
Colleagues, friends, elders, loved ones' lives and choices of positions and beliefs can undoubtedly crush everyone's spirits.
"Old Teng Yuan, please express your opinion first." Nie Yunbin glanced at Teng Lang behind him, and said to Elder Teng Yuan with a smile.
On the tower, Elder Kuang and several other elders of the Nightmare Palace all looked ugly. The person they cared about did not fall into the hands of the Soul Alliance, but Teng Lang, the son of Elder Teng Yuan, was in the hands of Nie Yunbin. , Do you really want to watch your son be sent to the execution platform in a month
And as a veteran, the person with the highest position in the three major palaces, once he surrenders, how can the people below be steadfast
"Old Yuan..." Elder Kuang looked at Elder Teng.
Everyone's eyes also fell on the elder. They looked at him, but they didn't dare to say a word at all, because no one could make a choice between the two.
"Old Yuan Teng, do you want me to make a decision for you?" Nie Yunbin evoked a playful smile.
Elder Teng Yuan took a deep breath, and slowly burst out a few words: "Take your people and get out!"
This sentence was said very deeply, but everyone could hear what Elder Teng Yuan said.
"Old Yuan Teng, what did you just say?" Nie Yunbin's expression became grim.
"I said, get out!" Elder Teng Yuan's voice suddenly exploded like a thunderbolt, and it hit the ears of Nie Yunbin and his subordinates, and even reached the ears of all the garrison troops and all the members of the three major palaces!
Nie Yunbin's face immediately turned ugly, and he said, "Teng Yuan is such a good father, wait for his body to be collected!"
Nie Yunbin turned around, retreated with the bound Tenglang, threw the long death document and surrender document on the ground, and walked away.
Teng Lang, who was bound to the animal soul pet, couldn't move or speak. He looked at the man on the tower with complicated eyes, and saw the old man turn around, and his heart felt like a knife.
In fact, when he chose not to surrender, Teng Lang didn't expect himself to survive. Just now he was very afraid that his father would choose to surrender softly.
It's just that after making a real choice, this feeling is really indescribable.
For Teng Lang, death is really not terrible, what is terrible is such cruelty...
There was silence on the tower, and everyone saw Teng Yuan's resolute appearance, but everyone could imagine that the moment he turned around, the middle-aged man must have washed his face with tears.
After an unknown amount of time, Elder Teng Yuan ordered someone to pick up the death document and surrender document, and then sent them to the city lord's mansion, and issued an order that anyone who chooses to surrender without an order will be killed!
…
"Young master, something is wrong!" Old Li ran over in a panic and said to Chu Mu.
"I know." Chu Mu said.
In fact, just now, Chu Mu witnessed Elder Teng's choice with his own eyes.
"Young master, please read the death document first." Old Li handed over the death document.
This death document is black, but the font on it is blood red, which is shocking: "One month later, execution by war will be executed, and all those who do not surrender will be executed!"
War executions!
This is the execution of those who are unwilling to surrender on the winning side. That is to say, the Soul Alliance gives the remaining three major palace forces one month to hand in the letter of surrender, otherwise they will kill all the prisoners in Vientiane City who do not surrender!
This paper document can definitely make the three major palaces in the west turbulent, because many important officials in the west, their relatives or people who are directly loyal to them are all in Vientiane City. In order to save their lives, they must hand over all the cities Give in and catch them without a fight.
There may even be a large number of traitors because of this execution. After all, not everyone in the three palaces has such backbone and ruthlessness. Many people will choose the former between the lives of those they care about and tenacious resistance. .
"Young master, the underground temple will probably be breached in about a month, and the list of executions will probably include those trapped in the underground temple." Old Li said in a low voice.
Chu Mu nodded, he had already guessed that the Soul Alliance would use this method, because it was the easiest and fastest way to achieve complete victory.
Perhaps the three major palaces should not be remembered in Vientiane City before, but in reality there are not so many. Perhaps, things have already happened...
"I see." Chu Mu nodded, and Chu Mu has been silent recently.
"Young master..." Old Li wanted to say, maybe Chu Mu could make the same choice as Elder Teng Yuan did on that day.
"I don't like making such a choice." Chu Mu knew what Old Li wanted to say, so he said calmly.
Old Li actually knew what Chu Mu's choice was. He only had people he cared about in his heart, but in fact it didn't make any difference to him whether he chose or not, because he had already made a bigger decision in his heart. .
He has been silent, not because he is helpless, but because he is waiting, waiting for something to return!
