Chapter 213 Dead End
Xu Jinglu cursed them as idiots in his heart, but he still had to maintain a respectful attitude on the was the turn of the representatives from Mianyang City to speak.
Left one sentence "My fellow city lords, your opinions are great!"
The right sentence is "We in Mianyang respect your opinions!"
I just want to express one idea. Once you have discussed it, Mianyang City will listen to the result of your discussion!
Can we work out a result?
When he arrived, he asked his city lord this question.
"If they come up with a result that is unfavorable to Mianyang City, should we accept it?" Xu Jinglu asked.
Mianyang City is located to the west of Jingzhou, not far from Liangzhou. The city lord is an unremarkable thin old man named Gu Wanggui.
Gu Wanggui was half lying by the river fishing. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "If these bastards can figure it out, the martial arts world will no longer be a martial arts world."
"The martial arts world relies on strength! These bastards, who normally don't have any masters, all work together to create a balanced situation in Jingzhou."
Xu Jinglu understood that only when Jingzhou was balanced would no one care about them, the city lords and sects.
"Besides, after so many years, those real warriors have become superior people, not warriors. They..."
Xu Jinglu didn't understand this sentence, but he understood it after seeing the quarrel between these real warriors.
Real warriors are the best in the world, so they just need to maintain their own identities.
If his subordinates are disobedient, he will replace them; if they rebel, he will kill them. He truly holds the power of life and death in the city!
As long as there is no external threat, they can live the life they want every day!
The happiness of a real warrior is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Before the rise of Yangzhou, they were very balanced with Jingzhou, restraining each other, and there was no situation where one company dominated the other.
Maybe it had appeared before, but was secretly destroyed by their joint efforts.
This is the way of survival for city lords in Jingzhou that has been passed down for thousands of years.
If there are no major changes in the martial arts world, Jingzhou can remain like this!
But Yangzhou happened to appear, digging out their people, digging out their roots, and putting them to death.
If they were rational, they should unite and fight against Yangzhou together.
However, the inertial thinking of thousands of years has forced them to think too much.
Will I be used as cannon fodder?
Is it worth it for me, a real warrior, to risk my life like this?
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I am about to risk my life, why don’t I change my place and continue to be the city lord?
Xu Jinglu thought they were stupid, but he was wrong, they were too smart.
He is so smart that he cannot afford to suffer any loss and is not willing to take any risk.
In the world, nothing is worth the risk.
This is the mindset of a city lord.
As long as you can become the city lord, it doesn’t matter where you are.
If you think about it carefully, it is normal. In a unified dynasty, there are allies who watch their allies die without helping them. Or when their allies are attacked, they will rob their homes.
Expect a group of city lords who act independently to unite for the same goal.
It's just a joke.
Xu Jinglu could see clearly that the thirteen cities in Jingzhou were unwilling to yield to each other. And there was no absolutely strong person to unite them. It was simply...
Dead end!
Xu Jinglu was facing a dead end, and the Nanshan Sword Sect was also facing a dead end.
Xiao Yanyu, a warrior from the Nanshan Sword Sect, was resting when suddenly shouts of killing were heard from within the sect.
In the blink of an eye, it spread from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Xiao Yanyu was shocked. He just put on two pieces of clothes, took the long sword beside the bed, and left the room.
He is a true warrior and is considered a weakling in the Nanshan Sword Sect.
As soon as he left the house, he followed the other fellow disciples to the sect's main hall, and saw the leading warrior's inner energy was like a huge wave, beating their leader.
Their leader's Nanshan swordsmanship was completely flawed in front of the opponent's warrior, and the sword energy was simply unable to break the opponent's warrior's huge waves.
The huge waves rolled over a few times, and then their leader fell silent. No one knew whether he was dead or fainted.
Xiao Yanyu has practiced martial arts for many years, and every time he met the sect leader, he looked him down with his nose. In his mind, the sect leader should be invincible except when facing a real person.
result……
Master, you don't seem to be in good condition!
"Surrender without killing!"
"Surrender without killing!"
The warrior stood in the main hall of their sect and shouted at them.
Beside him, there were a dozen warriors looking at them coldly.
Upon hearing that they would not be killed if they surrendered, Xiao Yanyu and his fellow disciples gave up resistance and surrendered.
First of all, they really couldn't win.
Secondly, according to the rules of the martial arts world, not killing those who surrender generally means accepting the power of their sect.
As for cattle and horses, who would complain about having too many of them?
So, Xiao Yanyu and his fellow disciples were taken away and locked up for one night.
The next day, someone gave them some food and took them to a place.
It was a huge square platform with a black and white banner hanging on it, with the words "Special Court for the Trial of Nanshan Sword Sect" written on it.
court?
What it is?
Xiao Yanyu didn't understand these two words.
What was even more incomprehensible was that the people standing and sitting below the square platform were all tenant farmers, herbal farmers, livestock farmers, and the like from their sect. Xiao Yanyu looked at those people with pale and thin faces, and looked at them with fear in his eyes.
When a warrior is in the Qi and Blood Gate, he needs a lot of food, plus he practices boxing and meditation every day. He has no time to farm and raise cattle and sheep, so he needs these people to support him.
Why did the people yesterday call these people here?
What can these people do?
Xiao Yanyu didn't understand.
What is even more incomprehensible is that as time went on, the leader of the Nanshan Sword Sect was brought up, and then these people mustered up the courage to launch a complaint against the leader.
Things like "seizing land by force", "lending money at high interest rates", "wiping out an entire family", "killing parents" and so on made Xiao Yanyu feel completely confused.
Isn't this just a matter of course?
What's so strange about this?
Isn’t it like this everywhere in the world?
No one would kill their leader just because of these people's accusations, right?
On one side is a group of ant-like people, and on the other side is a Zhoutian warrior.
Everyone knows the value of a Zhoutian warrior, right?
The result was just as he feared, the group of people yesterday wanted to stand up for this group of ant-like people.
After the verdict was announced on the Nanshan Sword Sect, the warrior who had fought yesterday, holding a knife, beheaded the Nanshan Sect leader on the high platform.
Xiao Yanyu's hands and feet felt cold after seeing this.
He was a little confused. How could this happen?
why!
Why exactly?
In contrast to Xiao Yanyu are those ordinary people. They have suffered all their lives and endured pain all their lives. No one has ever spoken to them and no one has ever treated them as human beings.
Now suddenly there are people who support them, treat them as human beings, and give them room to reason.
They felt as if they were in a dream.
The term "corporate slave" is mostly self-deprecating, but self-deprecation is the most real...
