"Who is this...?" Zixiao asked.
Jiufeng replied, "My lord, Qin Tian!"
"It turns out to be Mr. Qin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Qin. Please do me the honor of treating you well." Zixiao bowed and said respectfully.
Qin Tian knew very well what Zixiao was thinking, but this was also a good thing. Unifying the entire Zhongzhou was just a beginning. They also needed to learn more about everything about Xueying City.
"Okay!" Qin Tian said lightly.
Hearing this, Zi Xiao smiled gently and quickly made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Qin, please come in!"
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Tian and others arrived at the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and sat down. Zixiao also instructed the servants to prepare delicious food.
"Just say whatever you want to say!" Qin Tian said before Zixiao could speak.
This matter is tacitly understood by both parties, so there is no point in wasting time. It is better to get straight to the point.
Hearing this, Zixiao was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect Qin Tian to be so direct. He originally wanted to exchange a few words and had even thought of the words, but in the end he didn't use them.
Zixiao calmed down a little, smiled and said, "Mr. Qin is truly a hero, very straightforward."
Qin Tian did not respond to this compliment, which made Zi Xiao a little embarrassed. He then continued, "Mr. Qin must know something about my Snow Shadow City.
Now, my father died suddenly, and my younger brother wanted to seize the position of city lord. He bribed half of the city defense troops, and now he is still arresting young and strong men.
I had no interest in the position of city lord and could have offered it up, but he kept pressing me and wanted me dead, so I couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
Now, I am weaker than my second brother, and his cultivation level is also comparable to mine. I have no chance of winning this battle.
My father had left behind an army, but it wasn't stationed in the city. Although I have the military token, I can't leave the city."
After he finished speaking, Jade Purity Immortal slowly said, "So, you want us to take the military token and leave the city to get you reinforcements?"
Hearing this, Zi Xiao shook his head slightly, "With just a few of you here, we can defeat an army of 100,000. My second brother's cultivation is only at the first level of the Heavenly Soul Realm. With the help of you brothers, he will be more than enough."
How could Zixiao let Qin Tian and others use the military token to mobilize the army? He didn't dare to do so either, because he had only met them before and didn't trust them at all.
If Qin Tian and others took the army for themselves and led the army to capture Xueying City, where would he go to cry?
Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "Then, let's talk about the reward!"
"Okay!" Zi Xiao nodded, then said, "How about three thousand mid-grade spirit stones?"
Three thousand!
This number is not low, especially for Qin Tian and others. Killing Zi Yang does not require much effort and is just a very simple matter.
Qin Tian sneered, "Not enough! Is your life and the entire city only worth three thousand?"
"Then how much does Mr. Qin want?" Zixiao asked calmly, not at all angry because of Qin Tian's words.
"How about ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones?" Qin Tian said slowly.
Hearing this, Zi Xiao pondered. His subordinate beside him whispered, "Young Master, they're clearly asking for too much! That...that's 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Young Master, please think twice!"
Qin Tian smiled slightly and said, "Three thousand is fine. Give me the military token and I will go out of the city to call your troops back. That's also fine."
Hearing this, the hesitation in Zixiao's eyes disappeared completely, replaced by an extremely firm look, "Okay, ten thousand is ten thousand, I promise Mr. Qin.
It's not that I don't trust Mr. Qin. It would be most appropriate to ask him to mobilize the troops, but eighteen of my second brother's city defense soldiers died today. I'm afraid he's about to start a movement today. His troops are stationed far away, so he can't reach them!"
Qin Tian smiled slightly, "Give me half first! I'll give you the rest after the matter is done."
Qin Tian didn't believe Zixiao's empty words at all, but now was not the time to point it out. Qin Tian had a hunch that the so-called army was probably extraordinary.
"Three thousand! I will give Mr. Qin three thousand first to show my sincerity. As for the rest, I will never owe you after the matter is done. Mr. Qin can rest assured about this." Zixiao said firmly.
Qin Tian didn't say anything more, and nodded slightly, "Okay!"
Afterwards, Zixiao first gave Qin Tian three thousand medium-grade spirit stones. It must be said that this time, Zixiao's generosity was really great.
…
At this moment, in Zi Yang's mansion, his subordinates informed Zi Yang of the death of the eighteen city guards.
Upon hearing the news, Zi Yang was furious and roared, "Zi Xiao! You're really something! Go gather the troops for me. I will not be a human being if I don't chop off Zi Xiao's head today!"
"Second Young Master, please calm down. The cultivation level of that group of people is extremely high. Now they have been invited back by the Eldest Young Master. I think it is better to take a long-term view on this matter." His subordinates persuaded him.
The current situation has changed, and launching an attack at this time is not a wise choice.
Zi Yang refused to listen to such words and shouted angrily, "It is more important to take the initiative now. No more words, go and gather the army."
Seeing Zi Yang's determination, his subordinates said nothing more, turned around and left, obeying Zi Yang's orders, but... he had already foreseen failure.
Soon, Zi Yang's army was assembled, with a total of 5,000 people, 3,000 more than Zi Xiao's troops. In comparison, Zi Yang had an absolute advantage.
Half an hour later,
The army set out, with 5,000 people, and surrounded the city lord's mansion, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted many people to watch, but they all stayed far away, fearing that they would be implicated. Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
"The battle has finally begun. It's quite a big one. I guess the Second Young Master is going to win this time."
"Don't let him win. If a playboy were to govern the city, wouldn't he be ruined?"
"I don't think the eldest son is any better. However, this is not something we can control, so who cares!"
"According to that statement, the best outcome is to perish together!"
…
At the same time, Zi Yang in front of the City Lord's Mansion shouted angrily, "Zi Xiao, why don't you just surrender!"
This sentence was mixed with spiritual power, surging out and instantly spreading throughout the entire Snow Shadow City.
Zixiao, Qin Tian and others walked out of the hall. Qin Tian said slowly, "I can kill him with one sword. Once he dies, the army will disperse. It's very simple."
Hearing this, Zi Xiao was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "Please trouble Mr. Qin to hold back the army. We are brothers, so I will fight him."
When Qin Tian heard Zixiao say this, he didn't say anything else. He just took the money and helped them get rid of their disasters. Qin Tian didn't care about anything else.
