Chapter 1026 1026 Shameless, destroy its foundation
"The King of Yanbei is here, and I am not far away to welcome you." The head of the Shangguan family was very calm. When he saw the prince approaching with his troops, he stood up to greet him with a smile.
"The news about the Shangguan family is really well informed." The prince led his troops and horses and stopped at the gate of the Shangguan Mansion. The soldiers immediately dispersed and surrounded the Shangguan Mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
The head of the Shangguan family seemed not to have seen it, and still greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty is so generous. If I, the Shangguan family, don't know about it, we will be very close to being exterminated."
"It seems that the Shangguan family has a trump card." The prince raised his hand, and someone immediately brought two chairs over.
The prince sat down on one of the chairs and said to the head of the Shangguan family: "I don't like to stand and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The head of the Shangguan family bowed to the Prince and sat down calmly. There was no trace of anxiety or nervousness on his face, which showed that he was well prepared.
"What do you have on your hands?" The prince went straight to the point, not giving the head of the Shangguan family any chance to negotiate terms.
The head of the Shangguan family knew the prince's character very well, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, before I answer your question, would you like to ask your permission for me to look for something?"
"ask."
"Your Majesty, what agreement do you have with the King of Nanjiang?" Like Situ and the Beimen family, the head of the Shangguan family also believed that Nan Jinzhao betrayed them.
As soon as Nan Jinzhao arrived in Yanbei, the prince had just finished talking to him and led troops and horses to surround the three families. This thing... was so coincidental that they couldn't believe it. This matter had nothing to do with Nan Jinzhao.
"The King of Southern Xinjiang wants to take advantage of Yanbei to send troops to Beichen, and I am considering it." The prince was very shameful and misled the head of the Shangguan family.
"As expected... the King of Southern Xinjiang is very ambitious. In order to destroy Beichen, it would be nothing to betray our three families." After hearing this, the head of the Shangguan family dispelled the last trace of doubt in his heart.
In the face of sufficient benefits, betraying a few subordinates is nothing at all.
After the head of the Shangguan family sighed with emotion, he calmly negotiated with the prince: "Your Majesty, I have a complete map of southern Xinjiang in my hand. Can you give me a way out for the Shangguan family?"
"No!" The prince refused without hesitation, "I don't need Southern Xinjiang."
The head of the Shangguan family was not disappointed, but continued to raise the stakes: "So, what about the five thousand soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang? I have five thousand soldiers and horses in southern Xinjiang. Can you give me a way out for the Shangguan family?"
"No!" It was still the answer, the prince answered without thinking.
"There is another piece of information, a nail buried in Yanbei in southern Xinjiang." The head of the Shangguan family continued to increase his chips.
This time, the prince did not refuse, but he also did not fully agree to the words of the head of the Shangguan family. The prince said: "In exchange for the lives of your descendants of the Shangguan family."
The prince is not negotiating, but informing that the head of the Shangguan family only has the right to agree or disagree, but has no right to bargain.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The head of the Shangguan family knew very well that he accepted it calmly without saying a word.
The head of the Shangguan family gave the prince a big gift, then took out a wooden box and brought it to the prince with both hands. He said without any trace of resentment or dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, here is the map of Southern Xinjiang, the roster and a military talisman, which can mobilize five thousand soldiers in Southern Xinjiang.
Centaur and horse.”
Whether it is loyalty or betrayal, it is all for profit.
The Situ, Beimen, and Shangguan families were only third-rate families in Yanbei, and their children were not prominent. The resources they enjoyed in Yanbei were limited. If they had not cooperated with Southern Xinjiang, they would have perished long ago.
They worked for Southern Xinjiang and gained huge profits from Southern Xinjiang. This was their choice. When things were exposed and they paid the price of betrayal, they could blame Nan Jinzhao for betraying them, but they could not blame the prince...
"I have accepted it." The prince took it and did not open it. Instead, he stood up and handed it to the person beside him, "Take the head of the Shangguan family away, and exile the rest of the Shangguan family!"
This is tantamount to letting the rest of the Shangguan family live.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When the head of the Shangguan family heard the answer he wanted, his tense body relaxed and he almost fell to the ground.
He is actually not as fearless as he appears.
The prince turned around indifferently, without even looking at him.
He spared the Shangguan family, but that didn't mean he forgave the Shangguan family.
One disloyalty will be tolerated a hundred times. A family like the Shangguan family will never be reused by him and his descendants.
…
The prince is a man of his word. At dawn, the prince's men brought people from the Situ, Beimen and Shangguan families to the other village. Along with them were people from the Qiu family.
The four families gathered together, a total of six to seven hundred people, directly blocking the road outside the village. Cries and insults to Nan Jinzhao could be heard outside the village.
Hearing the harsh scolding outside, Nan Jinzhao couldn't help but rub his brow.
He knew about the prince's actions last night. He thought about stopping it or negotiating to save the three Situ families, but it was useless. Xiao Jiuan did not see him and did not allow him to leave the village even half a step.
This is Yanbei. Xiao Jiuan wants to keep an eye on him. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, he can't do anything in Yanbei. He can only watch Xiao Jiuan take down these three families and watch Xiao Jiuan attack him.
Throwing dirty water, saying that he betrayed these three families!
God knows, he didn't say anything.
God knows how Xiao Jiuan knew that these three families were working for Southern Xinjiang secretly.
"Xiao Jiu'an, you are such a bastard!" The insults became louder and louder. Nan Jinzhao didn't mind being scolded, but he did mind that Xiao Jiu'an ruined his reputation.
If it is confirmed that he betrayed his subordinates for benefits, Nan Jinzhao will become an outright villain and a hypocrite. Who else will dare to do things for Nan Jinzhao in the future? Dare to do things for the King of Southern Xinjiang?
How will they buy people in Yanbei, Beichen, and Tianwu from now on?
"I want to see your prince." Nan Jinzhao ignored the soldiers who came to report. He spoke forcefully and asked to see Xiao Jiu'an.
However, Yanbei's soldiers did not give him any face at all, "I'm sorry, King of Southern Xinjiang, our prince has no time to see you now. The people outside are all your people, King of Southern Xinjiang, how do you want to deal with it?"
"Everyone outside...are all at my disposal?" Nan Jinzhao was cautious and did not answer directly.
"Our prince said that the Qiu family is at your disposal. The rest... if you want the King of Southern Xinjiang, just pay enough chips. If you don't want it, we will execute him according to the laws of Yanbei."
The prince seemed to have given Nan Jinzhao two choices, but in fact, Nan Jinzhao had no choice at all.
Nan Jinzhao would have to pay a huge price to save them. Saving a group of people who were of no use to him was obviously not in the interest of Nan Jinzhao and Southern Xinjiang.
"Your prince... is very good!" Nan Jinzhao's always smiling face finally couldn't hold back anymore and looked at Yanbei's soldiers with a stern face, like a violent giant beast.
Xiao Jiuan's move ruined his reputation and his subordinates' trust in him.
He wants to fight against his subordinates. He has no reputation and no trust from his subordinates. How can he continue? (To be continued)
