Unlike the happy scene here with Li Chengqian, Han Shizhong was really miserable here in Magnolia City.

Yulan City was one of the few giant cities in the Tang Dynasty, and there were many aristocratic families in it, but among them two aristocratic families were the most powerful, namely the Yu family and the Lan family.

The general guarding the city, Yu Yunshan, was from the Yu family, one of the two major families in Magnolia City.

Ever since Han Shizhong came to Magnolia City, the Yu family had been at odds with him and always targeted him everywhere, making Han Shizhong very angry but helpless.

Probably because the situation in Magnolia City is different from that of Shengjing City, the reputation of the aristocratic families here has long surpassed that of the royal family Li. In Magnolia City, the people only know that there are aristocratic families, but not the imperial court. Han Shizhong does not dare to be as sharp as Li Chengqian.

Cut the tangle.

It is not difficult to destroy the Magnolia City family. What is difficult is how to appease the people and prevent them from rioting.

"Xunzi Kingship" once wrote: "The king is like a boat; the common people are like water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat."

It means to ask the king to treat the people well and to warn the king of the importance of the people.

Han Shizhong also deeply understood this truth, so he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that his impulsiveness would affect Li Chengqian's royal hegemony.

If Li Chengqian came to Magnolia City in person to deal with the Magnolia City family, he would still have a chance to suppress the family's influence with the power of the king. As for Han Shizhong, to the people, he is just an unknown person. How can he eliminate the huge influence of the family?

Just dealing with the Magnolia City aristocratic families was not enough to make Han Shizhong very anxious. There was also a 600,000-strong army of the Beidi Dynasty outside the key city, which was attacking Magnolia City day and night.

The leader of the Beidi Dynasty was Generalissimo An Guji of the Beidi Dynasty, a master of the fifth level of divine transformation. Han Shizhong also fought with him many times, but there was no winner or lose, and An Guji even had a slight upper hand.

Fortunately, the defenders of the city were replaced by elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty under his command in time. Otherwise, with the hundreds of thousands of stragglers in Magnolia City, An Guji would have already invaded and massacred the city.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the strength of soldiers and horses alone, in frontal combat, Han Shizhong's elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty could definitely outnumber ten.

Nowadays, the battle power displayed in the city defense battle is even higher, so for the time being, the battle with the Beidi Dynasty army is evenly matched, and they are not losing.

Fortunately, An Guji led the army. The army of the Beidi Dynasty was too ferocious, and no chickens or dogs were left behind wherever they passed. Otherwise, Yulan City would have already heard the news and surrendered, and would not be able to wait for Han Shizhong to come.

Han Shizhong deeply understands the nature of these aristocratic families. In their hearts, they only have family but no country. In order to ensure the safety and development of their own family, what does it matter if Kaicheng surrenders?

"General Han, something bad is going on." Just when Han Shizhong was at a loss what to do, Ji Ling came in anxiously.

"Why is General Ji so anxious? Tell me quickly." Han Shizhong did not dare to neglect. Ji Ling had always been steady, but now he was so panicked. It was obvious that something big had happened.

"General Han, the last general has just discovered that the Yu family and the Lan family have sent people to secretly meet with the Beidi Dynasty deputy general An Tie outside the city, and have discussed that tomorrow, the Yu family and the Lan family will take the lead, open the north gate of Yulan City, and release Beidi.

The imperial army entered the city."

Following Han Shizhong's orders, Ji Ling had been secretly watching the Yu family and the Lan family to prevent them from having different intentions. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, these two families showed their fox tail.

Han Shizhong put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes to meditate. Things were indeed a bit tricky.

He naturally believed what Ji Ling said, but how could the people of Yulan City believe it? If the people of the Yu family and Lan family bite back, it would be even more troublesome.

What's more, once Han Shizhong aggressively dealt with the affairs of the family, he would no longer have the energy to defend the city with all his strength. Magnolia City would be destroyed by the Beidi Dynasty army, and Han Shizhong would be unable to save the situation. The situation in the north would inevitably collapse completely, and the situation of the Tang Dynasty would also be different.

It will be in danger.

As he was thinking about it, Han Shizhong's eyes suddenly lit up. Since he couldn't spread the matter and kill the Magnolia City aristocratic family first, why not use a trick?

"Yes, let's do it like this. General Ji, please come here." After whispering, the sadness on Ji Ling's face disappeared.

"Ji Ling admires General Han's clever plan!" Ji Ling bowed respectfully and left.

"Hahaha, Japan will eradicate the big trouble tomorrow!" Han Shizhong also swept away the gloom of the past and laughed heartily.

At this moment, quietly, the shackles of Han Shizhong's cultivation were slightly loosened...

At the west gate of Magnolia City, Ji Ling got orders from Han Shizhong and began to deliberately avoid getting along with the aristocratic family.

"You, you, you, yes, that's you, come here to me, you bastard of the Yu family, I will beat you to death." Ji Ling pointed at Yu Qing, the eldest son of the Yu family, and said harshly.

A trace of disbelief flashed across Yuqing's face, and he turned to say angrily: "Ji Ling, have you taken the wrong medicine, or have you become so ambitious that you dare to be so arrogant with me?"

"Humph, you little bastard, you are the one who will be beaten by labor and management." As he spoke, Ji Ling rushed forward and punched and kicked Yuqing until Yuqing's whole body was red and swollen, and she lay on the ground shivering.

At the same time, Liao Hua and Gao Lan, who had received the order, also led their people to carry out trouble at other city gates.

For a time, the entire Magnolia City was filled with resentment, and the aristocratic families were furious.

People from all over the country also attacked the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty, causing chaos again and again.

As a result, Ji Ling, Liao Hua and Gao Lan took the opportunity to drive away the people at each city gate.

Various aristocratic families also felt that something was wrong because of the sudden incident. But at the same time, they were confused as to what Han Shizhong's intention was.

Among them, the Yu family and the Lan family were the most guilty of thieves, and they ordered all the family members to go home and not cause trouble.

They were all planning for tomorrow's big event, how could they dare to confront Han Shizhong at this time? If Han Shizhong was completely angered, wouldn't it be unjust to be executed on the spot?

Although the Yu family and the Lan family are a bit arrogant and do not take Han Shizhong seriously, in fact, they are still very afraid of Han Shizhong's strength.

Han Shizhong was able to defeat An Guji, who was at the fifth level of spiritual transformation. The Yu family and the Lan family were not arrogant enough to compete with such a terrifying Han Shizhong.

Thanks to the indulgence of the Yu family and the Lan family, other aristocratic families did not dare to take action. However, in just half a day, the four city gates became a vacuum zone. Except for the elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who guarded the city, there was no one left.

After completing Han Shizhong's instructions, Ji Ling and others made no move to stimulate the sensitive nerves of various families after they had driven away the people.

The aristocratic families were also happy, and for a while, Magnolia City fell into a strange and peaceful atmosphere.

"General Han, we're done. I wonder what we should do?" Ji Ling and three other people gathered at Han Shizhong's residence and asked Han Shizhong for advice.
