As for Deng Xiuping getting close to the head of the Gu family, there is no need to say the intentions and calculations in this. Everything is on the surface. They are trying to take over the city lord's palace and want to replace it. Anyone who is not a fool can understand it.
.
City Lord Xie's face suddenly darkened and he looked very ugly.
The expressions of the heads of the Lu, Su, Yan, and Xing families also changed. If the Gu family becomes dominant in the City of Death and replaces the City Lord's Mansion, then they will be the ones to deal with next. Unless they choose to join the Gu family.
Everyone present thought of this, and everyone stopped talking. Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked up at City Master Xie at the same time, their movements uniform and uniform, as if they had undergone special training.
Long Qingyue in the crowd curled her lips and sneered. Deng Xiuping and the Gu family master were so shameless. They seized on their weaknesses and exploited them to threaten them. City Master Xie was in a dilemma on both sides. One was about the survival of the entire City Lord's Mansion, and the other was about the
The life and death of his own son.
"Xie City Master, is your son's life not as important as half of the City Lord's Mansion?" The Gu family leader said, with sarcasm and ridicule in his voice, and his slightly narrowed eyes.
It's full of calculation.
"Although this is a family matter in your City Lord's Mansion, I can't help but interject that even if you don't give up half of your power today, you may not be able to keep this City Lord's Mansion in the future. If your son dies, who will come?
Inherit the City Lord's Mansion?" The head of the Yan family, who had been sitting next to him watching the show, suddenly stood up and spoke righteously, as if he really planned for the City Lord's Mansion. But when he looked at the Gu family head, his face was full of worry.
The meaning of flattery.
The Yan family is the weakest among the five major families.
"Ayan, what do you think City Lord Xie will decide?" Long Qingyue asked softly to the man beside him, his dark pupils blinking softly, cute and cute.
Qin Lieyan held her hand and replied softly, without raising his head, "He will give it a try."
Long Qingyue nodded, stopped talking, and looked up into the hall again. She also felt that City Lord Xie would agree to Deng Xiuping's conditions. Even if he didn't agree, I'm afraid the Gu family would come to hide it. The City Lord's Mansion was now in a state of turmoil, and was being watched by other families.
This crisis will come sooner or later.
If his son could be rescued, he would definitely agree. If father and son join forces, there might be a chance for a comeback, although this chance is very small.
"Thank you City Lord, you can't agree. If we hand over the other half of the real power of the City Lord's Mansion, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in the City of Death!" The Lu family leader stood up with a heavy face, and glanced at the Gu family leader and Deng Xiuping angrily.
At a glance, it was clear that these two people had teamed up to set a trap for City Lord Xie.
The Lu family is the third-ranked family among the five major families. They usually have close contacts with the City Lord's Mansion. It can be said that they are on City Lord Xie's side.
The Su family and the Xing family seem to remain neutral and have friendly relations with both parties. It is unclear which side they are on.
City Lord Xie also had a solemn look on his face, and sighed helplessly. Even if he knew it was a trap, he still had to get out of it! He only had such a son, and if he was gone, the hope of the City Lord's Mansion would be gone.
It's just a matter of death first and death later.
"Okay, I promise you. If you can save my son, I will give you half of the City Lord's Mansion." City Lord Xie's voice was deep and painful, and it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to say these words completely.
He instantly aged ten years, giving people the feeling that he has gone through many vicissitudes of life and seems to be in all kinds of situations in the world.
