Chen Tiannan's Adam's apple squirmed and he swallowed with some difficulty.
"Don't you have something to say to me?" The cold female voice sounded again.
Chen Tiannan could clearly tell that the other party was not too close to him, but for some reason, he always felt that the distance was meaningless at this moment. If the other party wanted to, even if he was thousands of meters away
You can also punch yourself to death - Chen Tiannan is quite confident about this, and he will never escape.
"Ahem." Chen Tiannan cleared his throat, then turned around stiffly.
Just as he expected.
The woman standing behind him at this time was the woman who single-handedly shocked the entire Qianyuan Dynasty.
Human slaughter. Shangguan Xin.
Of the 330,000 troops sent by the Qianyuan Dynasty in this expedition, more than 200,000 were all killed under the iron fist of this woman. Even because of this woman, it directly triggered a mutiny in the Yiyuan Army, resulting in the Qianyuan Dynasty's nobles' descendants
The losses were heavy - you must know that as the most liberal army in the Qianyuan Dynasty, although the four major families of the Qianyuan Dynasty were suspected of arranging their disciples to come for gold plating, earning military merit has always been a way for these "prodigies" to express themselves.
means.
Before the expedition, no family would have expected such a result.
They even believed that this was an opportunity to carve up the feast. For this reason, not only the big families, but also other prominent small and medium-sized families tried their best to find more positions for their heirs in this expeditionary army.
Now it's better, each of these families counts as one, and none of them can escape.
Those who are lucky enough to not be completely wiped out, or whose family talent reserves are large enough, may not have problems; but those who are less lucky will directly ruin the entire family for a generation. If these families cannot survive
If the next generation of clan members grows up, the decline of these families will already be a matter of time.
Chen Tiannan can completely imagine how panicked the Qianyuan Dynasty is now.
And all of this was caused by the woman in front of me.
"Go on, I'm listening." Shangguan Xin looked at Chen Tiannan and turned his head, and then spoke for the third time, "My patience is very limited, so I hope you don't..."
Before Shangguan Xin finished speaking, Chen Tiannan had already knelt down.
Kneel down and bow down.
This scene not only stunned Shangguan Xin, but also Xia Min, Yu Xiaoshuang, and Mi Xian.
Mi Nian didn't even think about it, he just took a photo on the spot and uploaded it to the forum.
The title is "I seem to have triggered a hidden plot?"
In an instant, the entire forum was in a frenzy.
A large number of replies about "my wife", "my little wife", "your wife is so fun", etc. directly flooded the post of this rice noodle. Hundreds of replies appeared almost every second when it was refreshed. Of course, there were also
A large number of people asked Mi Nian to quickly broadcast live online. If it is really impossible to live broadcast, they don't mind recording it.
"Chen Tiannan!" Xia Min finally came to her senses and screamed, "What are you doing!?"
"Surrender." Chen Tiannan raised his head and glanced at Xia Min, with a wry smile on his face. "This ship of the Qianyuan Dynasty is already riddled with holes. Maybe we can rise from the ashes after this battle, but that is no longer what we want."
Things to consider... Do you still remember what I told you before?"
Xia Min was stunned.
As if he was afraid that Shangguan Xin might misunderstand, Chen Tiannan hurriedly turned back, but he did not dare to look at Shangguan Xin. He could only lower his head, and then slowly said: "I came here this time and gave many people hope. They put
Hopes are placed on me, not for themselves, but for their families and their descendants. I know what these people think. What they want is not a fair opportunity, because we all know that in this world
There can be no real fairness in the world."
"In the Qianyuan Dynasty, there were no channels for advancement, because these channels were tightly controlled by all kinds of people... Small sects must listen to the middle sect, and the middle sect must listen to the big sect. However, no matter how big the sect is,
It's not as big as a noble family... But no matter how obedient you are like a dog, you can only guarantee that your death will not be too ugly in the end, and even being able to keep the whole body is considered a dignity."
"So, what these people want is just a channel that allows their descendants to have room for advancement."
Chen Tiannan clenched his fists.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I just won't give in. I also want to have a chance to prove myself, but this opportunity is not something I begged for, but something I fought for!"
Chen Tiannan raised his head.
This was the first time when he faced Shangguan Xin that he really raised his head and looked directly into Shangguan Xin's eyes without any fear.
What Shangguan Xin saw in his eyes was not a desire to survive, but a more intense ambition.
Then she knew that the person in front of her from the Qianyuan Dynasty was not telling lies.
"You said before that your companion was only half-guessed about your plan, so this is your other half?"
Chen Tiannan was suddenly shocked.
Xia Min was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
They had just discussed this conversation not long ago, but they didn't expect that they had already fallen under Shangguan Xin's surveillance at that time. And if you want to go deeper, if he didn't say anything when he discovered these two people,
If "the one who wants to live" comes out, then I'm afraid both of them are dead now.
Chen Tiannan swallowed his saliva with some difficulty.
He knew that this was Shangguan Xin trying to frighten him, and it was also an honest conspiracy: I am stronger than you think, so I am not afraid of any conspiracies or tricks by you, because they are all meaningless to me.
"Yes." Chen Tiannan nodded bitterly, "I...those people have pinned their hopes on me, hoping that I can protect their families and descendants for them, and avoid the next great purge of the Qianyuan Dynasty. But I think
, why do I still want to stay in the stagnant mud of the Qianyuan Dynasty?...I understand their deeper demands, and since they dare not speak out, I decided to make the decision for them."
"Have you thought about it?" Shangguan Xin tilted his head and glanced at Chen Tiannan, "You will bear eternal infamy. Even the failure of the Qianyuan Dynasty this time will be all attributed to you. Moreover, I am afraid the result will not be the same.
It will be as you think, after all, the lower the people are, the more they want to pursue stability, you should understand what I mean."
"I understand." Chen Tiannan nodded, "I can't guarantee that all small and medium-sized sects will follow me, but at least I am sure to win over one-third of them. Moreover, you don't have to worry, from me
From the moment I stood up, I had no way out."
Shangguan Xin smiled and shook his head: "Even if you are a dead soldier sent by the Qianyuan Dynasty, to be honest, I am not worried. Even if you really have a way to find out the details of our Taiyi Sect and understand our system of exercises
He was so thorough that he even brought back all the techniques of our Taiyi Sect to the Qianyuan Dynasty, but so what? As long as I am in the Taiyi Sect, the Qianyuan Dynasty is no different from a child in my eyes."
"And..." Shangguan Xin smiled, "It's not appropriate for you to call me 'human killer'. One day you are lucky enough to see my junior brother's sword energy, and you will change your mind. He kills people."
The efficiency is much higher than mine... To be honest, if the person who was in Taiyi Sect that day was not me but my junior brother, not a single one of your Qianyuan Dynasty’s so-called expeditionary forces would have thought of returning alive.”
Chen Tiannan looked at Shangguan Xin with a dumbfounded expression.
He could naturally tell that Shangguan Xin didn't say this out of politeness or bragging, but that she thought so from the bottom of her heart.
"You said that my personal strength is strong, and I am indeed worthy of it. But when it comes to the efficiency of killing, I am far inferior to my junior brother and my sister." Shangguan Xin said again, "The two of them are in our world.
It’s called a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, so you understand?”
Chen Tiannan nodded blankly.
Natural disaster?
He hasn't seen any natural disasters yet, but isn't the expeditionary force's war a man-made disaster?
It's just that this disaster is not the fault of Taiyi Sect, but the fault of their Qianyuan Dynasty.
"I don't ask about the process, only the results." Shangguan Xin finally said, "So, how long will it take for you to convince those sects to join us, Taiyi Sect? How can we, Taiyi Sect, cooperate with you?"
"Three to five months." Chen Tiannan said without thinking. Obviously, this plan was not his impromptu idea, but he had been thinking about the feasibility of it these days, so that he could do it under Shangguan Xin's inquiry.
The answer was fluent, "If possible, I hope to get a group of supports. After all, west of the Black Sea is the territory of the Qianyuan Dynasty. They have deployed a lot of surveillance. Even if I can convince other sects to leave with me, I want to
If you want to move eastward, this will be an unavoidable threshold."
"That's not a problem." Shangguan Xin said, "What else is there?"
"I need...some guards." Chen Tiannan gritted his teeth, and then said, "Taiyi Sect disciples who are strong enough. They are not only my guards, but also the facade of Taiyi Sect to show their strength. But they...must obey.
My command and arrangements."
Hearing Chen Tiannan's words, Xia Min also broke into a cold sweat for him.
This requirement is quite excessive to be honest.
People who surrender to the enemy and rebel will not end well no matter where they are - they may gain trust and appreciation at first due to profit reasons, but after the initial chaotic situation stabilizes, such people will
They will be suppressed, hidden, and even put under surveillance. If you encounter some lords who are more suspicious, let alone retire after success, they may be killed with an excuse after having a replacement.
After all, in most people's minds, such people would be labeled as "Since you can betray your old master, you will definitely betray me." Therefore, out of precaution, it is better to kill them to save trouble.
This is also the reason why Xia Min was so panicked when she first saw Chen Tiannan kneeling directly to Shangguan Xin in the manner of worshiping a king.
Same reason.
You just surrendered to the enemy, and then you asked for a certain amount of command power, and you also implied that you would bring elite disciples of the Taiyi Sect with you. Anyone would be suspicious. Especially those more suspicious masters would be suspicious of this.
Could it be that you set up a trap with the purpose of killing the elites under your command and cutting off the inheritance? Then it would be perfectly normal for him to kill you directly in a fit of rage.
Shangguan Xin did not speak immediately.
In just two seconds, Chen Tiannan felt difficulty breathing - the suffocation caused by the strong pressure made him dizzy.
"Can."
In the third second, Shangguan Xin spoke: "I will give you a hundred people to use at your disposal... It doesn't matter even if they die."
Chen Tiannan raised his head and looked at Shangguan Xin, then gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I promise, even if I die, they..."
"No, you misunderstood me." Shangguan Xin shook his head, then stretched out his hand and waved to the rice noodles.
Mi Nian's injuries were quite serious at this time, but her life was not in danger, so she quickly walked up to Shangguan Xin, but she looked a little confused: "Elder Shangguan, do you have any orders?"
"I'll give you five hundred points, and you'll die in front of him."
Chen Tiannan was stunned for a moment, not sure why.
Without saying a word, Mi Nian smashed his head with sword energy.
Shangguan Xin glanced at Yu Xiaoshuang, and saw that the other person's face was filled with grief and anger, as if she was extremely miserable, as if she had missed her beloved. Then she shook her head. She thought to herself: What my junior brother said is indeed right. As long as the points are given enough, these life souls will be saved.
Not to mention that the doll is not afraid of life and death, and it will not even frown when it commits suicide.
Chen Tiannan and Xia Min felt cold in their hands and feet after seeing Mi Nian's suicide.
Both of them began to doubt whether joining the Taiyi Sect was the right choice for them.
But at this time, they had no way out.
Because if they dare to say that they don't want to join now, I'm afraid they will be beaten to death on the spot. And if they join, I'm afraid they will also be manipulated by this evil technique, and then they will really have no choice but to live or die.
Shangguan Xin looked at the looks of these two people and knew what they were thinking, so he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not what you imagined. Come back to Taiyi Sect with me, and you will know.
I just hope you won’t be too surprised when the time comes.”
Chen Tiannan nodded silently.
Xia Min also quickly came to Chen Tiannan and helped him up.
Yu Xiaoshuang also followed, and even asked with some reluctance: "Elder Shangguan, I can show you the sword-swallowing stunt. It only costs five hundred, no, four hundred points. How about it? If you don't like to watch sword-swallowing,
, I have other ways to kill them wherever I point!"
