Chapter 1279 I'll arm wrestle him first
The essence of civilization progress is war, the core of scientific and technological development is war, and the history of human development itself is a history of war.
Civilization defeating ignorance is itself a war of conquest.
The missiles attacked with precision, instantly destroying all the passages leading to the outside world from Panlongling.
The Shenlong Peak on Panlong Ridge, if cut off here, would be equivalent to trapping the Long family and the Ji family on an isolated island.
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and whistling fighter jets flew by. They came and went quickly, and the whole process took only about ten minutes.
Huge fallen rocks blocked the mountain road and the water route leading to the outside was also completely cut off.
The roads in the plains are interconnected. Even if all the highways are blown up, other roads can still be found, and many new roads can be opened up.
But it is different in the deep mountains. There is often only one rugged mountain road. Once it is destroyed, the people in the mountains will be completely trapped and unable to get out.
Most people have no intuitive concept of this point, and only by actually getting into it can they know.
Many women who were trafficked in mountainous areas did not want to escape, but they simply could not escape because there was only one mountain road, and if they ran into the mountains, it would definitely be a dead end.
The same was true for Panlong Ridge, where the Twelve Heavenly Tribes headed by the Long family were completely sealed off.
Upon receiving the news, the Dragon Emperor's face turned extremely embarrassed. He clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out on his forehead, but he quickly loosened his fists. However, he clenched his fists again in a short while.
He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly, but never uttered a word.
What can I say?
His rule is from top to bottom, and his biggest trump cards are the four major families, but something went wrong!
Both the Yingjia and the Liu family have their own ideas. Now that all the channels have been destroyed, it is equivalent to a division. As for Lei Zhen... he really should be killed!
Sitting on the dragon throne, the Dragon Emperor did not expect that Lei Zhen would dare to turn against him directly.
"Great Elder, how much food do we have left in reserve?"
The Dragon Emperor took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner anger.
"Only enough for two months."
"Well, tell everyone that it's enough to sustain us for three years. All grain stores are forbidden from raising prices, or they will be executed on the spot! A curfew will be implemented starting today, and the Silver Dragon Guards will conduct 24-hour patrols..."
Anyone who can sit in this position is not simple. The Dragon Emperor knows that the first priority now is to appease the twelve tribes and absolutely cannot let chaos occur at this time.
Almost all of their food supplies came from below, but now that all the roads had been bombed, food and other supplies could not be transported up.
Not only food, but almost all daily necessities had to be transported from outside to the mountains.
"Send a letter by carrier pigeon to the Ying and Liu families, asking them to immediately send craftsmen to clear the mountain road." The Dragon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Chief, I'm afraid now..." The Great Elder smiled bitterly.
It would be a waste of effort to order the Ying family and the Liu family at this time. They would definitely not send anyone over, but would just sit there and watch the fire from the other side of the river.
"This is just a pretext for communication. I need to know exactly what they want." The Dragon Emperor continued, "As long as it's within my tolerance, I can satisfy them."
The purpose was not to ask the Yingjia and Liujia to send craftsmen, but to use this as an excuse to find out how big the appetites of the two families were, and then appease them according to the situation.
If you want money, give money; if you want status, give status; if you want power, give power; as long as you can afford it, you can give it.
"The focus now is on the Ying family and the Liu family. As long as they remain prominent families, they won't be afraid of any of Lei Zhen's tactics. So we need to think carefully before sending the letter."
"If the famous family exists, all families exist; if the Long family is gone, the famous family will also be gone."
Wise, extremely wise.
In this sudden desperate situation, the Dragon Emperor's thinking was quite clear. He knew that the most important thing now was the winner and the Liu family who could rebel at any time.
If we can stabilize these two companies, everything will be fine. If we can't, it will be a big problem.
"Do it immediately!"
"yes!"
After making a decision in a short time, the Dragon Emperor met the Ji family members who came in a hurry. After calming them down, he walked out of the Dragon Mansion and took a tour of the Heavenly Department under the protection of the Golden Dragon Guards.
In special times, he has to show up to stabilize people's hearts.
After all this was done, the Dragon Emperor found his sister, Long Shu.
"Long Shu, what kind of person is Lei Zhen? Tell me in detail."
"He's vindictive and ruthless, but never takes things to the extreme, always pursuing the greatest possible benefit..."
The Dragon Emperor finally wanted to get to know Lei Zhen better. He previously thought that he was just a powerful ant with an identity involved in Tianji Temple. Now he knows that this is someone who can compete with him.
In less than half a month, he changed a prominent family with his own strength. Who would dare to call him an ant?
This person's climb to the top was no accident. It was not just luck, but more importantly, his grasp of the overall situation and the subtle operations of each link.
"Brother, I'll go out and find him." Long Shu said.
Such a big thing has happened, it really concerns the life and death of the Long family. Even though his body is still very weak, he has to go out to find Lei Zhen.
"No need. Take care of yourself. I'll challenge him first." The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "The reason why our family has always been able to rule over Shenlong Peak is not as simple as others see it."
"Brother, why bother? Even if you win, you'll still lose. Why don't you let me go find him? There's always a solution that's decent for both of us." Long Shu persuaded: "He didn't blow up our Tianbu directly, which proves that he wants to talk. Otherwise, he wouldn't just cut off the road."
Although she and Lei Zhen had not been in actual contact for a long time, they still knew each other very well.
First, I specifically collected information about the other person when I went out last time. Second, after spending a short time together, I realized that the other person was a very secretive person.
All the lust, roguery, shamelessness, etc. are not just disguises, but more of a personality setting.
Once it is established, you can openly take despicable measures instead of suddenly becoming despicable and being despised by everyone.
The ceiling for a gentleman is very high. With moral behavior as his banner, he can move up steadily and eventually rise to prominence. However, a gangster has the greatest room for advancement.
It can go left or right, up or down. A rogue can do what a gentleman can do, and a rogue can also do what a gentleman cannot do.
If one day you don’t want to be a gangster anymore, you can turn around and become a moral pioneer.
Donate money, build roads, build schools, charity, disaster relief, etc. It won't take long for you to become a person of high moral character, and even if you cause trouble in the future, you will be forgiven by everyone.
On the other hand, for a gentleman, once a stain appears, it will be a lifelong problem and he will be despised by others no matter when.
This is why if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly. If you have done bad things all your life, as long as you do one good thing, you will be considered to have turned over a new leaf.
Even if you do good things all your life, if you do one bad thing, you will go to hell.
Human hearts are so fucked up!
