Chapter 282 Jiu Zhonglang is our backer
"Pass on my order to recruit soldiers from the Ninth Mountain from all over Shu to slay demons and monsters, cut down mountains and destroy temples!"
"I'd like to see it!"
"Who in Jinguan City is disobedient? Who wants to play blind to me?"
"Or, like a few of you."
"Voluntarily send your own children to the Ninth Mountain to show your attitude."
Chen Yuan's eyes were like a deep ravine, unfathomable. He then cast his gaze on the two people in front of him, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Master Murong, the second branch of the Xia family, what do you think, is this right?"
The head of the Murong family and the second master of the Xia family twitched their faces when they heard this.
Volunteer?
The eldest son who was regarded as the heir of the family was arrested, and the head of the family was firmly controlled by Chen Yuan.
The current change in the Liu family is a lesson learned, and the General in front of them will beat and kill the Qian family members at will.
A very clear signal has been sent!
Either choose to surrender or die!
Among the four clans and eight surnames in Jinguan City, the Xia family and the Murong family are of middle to lower strength. Other families might be qualified to compete with them, but these two dare not take such a risk.
This General of the Household has been using drastic measures over the past three days. Now, he has completely bared his "fangs" towards the aristocratic families and is preparing to recruit soldiers on a large scale.
According to this person, the Ninth Mountain's recruitment of soldiers is a final test for each family. Either hand over your own children to show your submission, or
When the two thought of this, they felt a chill in their hearts. This Ninth Mountain General had such great ambitions. He was really not afraid that the noble families would be forced into a corner and rebel, resulting in a fight to the death!
But when they saw the smile on Chen Yuan's face, they couldn't help but shudder. They hurried forward, bent their waists which had not been bent for many years, and spoke in unison.
"The Murong family is willing to serve you at your service!"
"Your Excellency has fought for the people of Shu and you are so righteous and benevolent. The Xia family will follow you. I just ask you to show some mercy to my brother."
"it is good!"
Chen Yuan laughed loudly, patted the armrest, and then smiled slightly, "Master Liu and the two of you are all loyal and righteous people. In the future, Shu will definitely publicize your loyalty and righteousness. Then I will get straight to the point."
"In my opinion, the Ninth Mountain is recruiting troops on a large scale this time. However, the military department has sent out all its elite troops to resist the demons, and the arsenal has been almost emptied. The court has also ignored them. The soldiers are in urgent need of supplies, and I am a little embarrassed."
When Chen Yuan said this, he paused and sighed.
Liu Tianming, who was standing on the left, immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward.
"Your Excellency led the soldiers to sacrifice their lives for our Shu. Our Liu family would like to show our gratitude by donating 10,000 taels of silver, 500 sets of black gold armor, 2,000 standard swords, and 10,000 shi of grain."
When the Murong family master and the Xia family second master knew that this was a "show of loyalty", they spoke one after another:
"My Murong family started out by refining pills. We are willing to donate ten thousand taels of silver, one hundred boxes of basic first-grade pills, fifty second-grade pills, and ten basic alchemists who can refine pills below the second grade." The head of the Murong family spoke. The pills in front were nothing, but the ten alchemists were what made him feel the most pain.
Alchemists are very rare among martial arts practitioners. Alchemy is known as the first of the "Six Arts of Martial Arts" among martial arts practitioners. The six arts are alchemy, weapon refining, formation formation, talisman making, beast taming (beast is a synonym, such as poison, insect, exotic beast, etc.) and spiritual plants.
Almost every martial arts practitioner cannot do without elixirs on the road of practice, and training an alchemist requires enormous energy and financial resources. Few people are willing to spend time and financial resources on this path. Either they have no hope in martial arts, or they are extremely talented.
However, as for alchemy, without huge financial support, ordinary martial arts practitioners simply cannot do it, and usually only some families can cultivate this skill.
Even if he is a basic alchemist, he is still a valuable asset! It can be seen that the head of the Murong family also bleeds a little.
The second master of the Xia family was about to open his mouth, but when he saw that the head of the Murong family had already "made a great contribution", his face changed slightly. Their Xia family was at the bottom of the four clans and seven families, and their financial resources were not as good as those of these two families. He had no choice but to pause, reorganize his words, and then bowed and said:
"The Xia family is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 horses, and 500 sets of black iron armor. In addition, I, the Xia Qi family, am willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver and 10 boxes of spiritual materials to the Ninth Mountain. I am also willing to send my daughter to the Ninth Mountain Mansion to be a female official. After all, the general's daily life is also a big deal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Tianming and Patriarch Murong could not help but look at Xia Qijia, the Second Master of the Xia Family, who bowed his head and saluted, their eyelids twitching.
It seems to be saying, okay, okay, you want to play this trick, we are just being nice, but you even sell your daughter. Humph, this is a good plan. You want to use this trick to send your people to Jiu Zhonglang and make him close to him.
It's really sold out thoroughly.
However, it must be admitted that this statement will undoubtedly please Jiu Zhonglang.
That's right, when Chen Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth curved up even higher, and he laughed.
"I appreciate your kindness, but this is not necessary."
"You three are all generous and righteous people. You have helped me solve my problems. Yes, I am very happy."
Then, Chen Yuan set his sights on Liu Tianming and ordered:
"Master Liu, arrange for someone to help you and give me some wine!"
Not long after, the three Tianguans of the Liu family, the head of the Murong family, and the second master of the Liu family walked to the threshold of the hall and bowed upwards. In the sky, mist rolled, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing, and quickly went away.
Several people looked at a corpse lying on the ground not far from the entrance of the hall, their eyes flickering violently.
"Liu Tianming, do you think this gentleman really intends to attack the noble families? Isn't he afraid that Jinguan City will be disrupted?"
The head of the Murong family felt a little uneasy and spoke.
Liu Tianming's eyebrows remained indifferent. "Master Murong, you ask me, who should I ask? Since you have already boarded this ship, it is best not to have other thoughts. Now there is chaos everywhere. You all know the current situation. People like you and me, even if we are from the four major sects and eight families, are still helpless. There are more and more strange faces in this city. Before this master returned to the city, my Liu family had a setback at the hands of a mysterious man, and several people died in succession. My good elder brother also returned in disappointment and did not say a word, not even to me. Tell me, what are we?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the head of the Murong family and the second master of the Liu family changed slightly.
These mysterious strong men appeared more and more frequently. In fact, each of their families had received news about them. For example, last time, when Jiu Zhonglang’s battle projection appeared, they were naturally alarmed to watch it. At the scene, they saw many strange or mysterious figures.
These people concealed themselves and could not be seen clearly, and finally they all left in one direction. However, the aura inadvertently revealed by these strong men was sometimes quite astonishing.
I heard that several families followed these strong men to find out the situation, but in the end nothing came of it. Some got lost, while others disappeared and never came back.
However, at that time, there were too many outsiders pouring into Jinguan City, and the identities of these people were really difficult to track down.
But as time passed, these sudden appearances of powerful men became more and more frequent, and their origins were gradually known to their families. These people were powerful men from outside Shu, and almost all of them were Tianguan.
Among them, there are even people from blessed places!
The Jiuzhonglang, the great master Musashi who was killed the day before yesterday, was a person from the blessed land.
Each family has been looking for these people and contacting them. The appearance of these people must have some secrets.
Something big must be happening in Shu.
"We still have to rely on the adults to find a way out!" Liu Tianming said slowly.
I am going to be a father soon. I have been busy with the preparations for my baby recently, so my updates have been slow. Please forgive me. I will update 8,000 words tomorrow. If I don’t have 8,000 words, I will send out red envelopes in the group.
