The Dangxiang Xifeng clan finally surrendered, and the more than a thousand armored and sharp guards they brought could only wait outside the city.

There was no other way. An army of 50,000 men came to attack Pingxia City aggressively. As a result, they were sent back to their hometown without even seeing the Pingxia City Wall.

They really don't have the courage to shout with the city gate guards. No matter how big the formation is, no matter how noble the status is, and no matter how luxurious the carriage is, they have to bow their heads when they come to Guan Xiaocheng here.

The five-horse luxury car stopped in front of the government office. A guard moved the dismounting stool and opened the curtain. Then a fat wealthy businessman stepped out of the carriage. He was a veteran member of the Xixia Chamber of Commerce.

He did not walk away when he got out of the carriage, but bowed and waited. Then two fat men of the same build walked out of the carriage. Xifeng Huai stretched out his hand to take them one by one, calling them clan brothers.

The two of them got off the carriage but did not walk away. They also stood and bowed like sealing a locust tree, watching as two guards came in and helped out a fatter old man.

Xifenghuai helped the fat old man out of the car and called him the patriarch.

After getting out of the car, the old patriarch Xifeng saw that there was no one else in front of the government office except the guards. His face turned ugly and he snorted coldly.

Xifeng Huaizai was also a little embarrassed, and quickly said that the president was not a rude person, maybe he was busy with work and forgot to go out to greet him.

As soon as a few people were about to enter, they were stopped by the guards of the government office. "In the important place of the government office, someone is here to unload their troops and armor!"

The old patriarch of Xifeng looked back at Xifeng Huai, waiting for his explanation.

Xifeng Huai was sweating profusely, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Chief, the Song Dynasty government has such a rule."

The old patriarch of Xifeng snorted again, expressing his dissatisfaction, but he also suppressed his anger and motioned to the twenty guards to do the same.

After the guards took off their armor and were taken away by the government guards, several people were stopped again before entering the house. "Visitors are limited to four people, and the rest are waiting outside the house."

"Damn you, you can only allow four people to take off their armor!"

A clan brother of Xifeng Huaizai couldn't bear it any longer and started to curse. They were the Tangxiang royal family of Xixia. In Xixia, all tribes of all sizes walked sideways. They were guests wherever they went and enjoyed the service like an emperor. , never received such cold treatment.

Swish, brush, brush...

A group of bright spears were pressed against his neck. The guards of the government office didn't talk nonsense to him at all. If he didn't accept it, they would look at the spears.

Xifeng Huai's clan brother suddenly did not dare to speak out, and looked at Xifeng Huai's pleading eyes.

Xifenghuai hurriedly said some kind words, and then the guards of the government put away their spears, but the number of people was limited to four and they could not talk.

The old patriarch Xi Feng couldn't hum anymore. He became a little clearer. This was not a good place.

However, he is the head of the Dangxiang royal family, and he also has a great say in the Xixia court. How could he be intimidated by the government office of a small border town?

When several heavyweights bravely entered the government office, the old patriarch Feng almost went berserk.

There was no other reason. The president, who Xifenghuai said was very busy, was eating fruit and chatting about mountains with a few friends under the shade of a tree.

At this time, Wang Zhi also saw the Xi Feng clan and greeted them enthusiastically, "Brother Xi Feng, come here quickly. There are a lot of good things in the Western Region."

"Look at these grapes. They are red and green. They are very sweet. I have never seen them in a long time."

Seeing that Wang Zhi didn't pay attention to the old clan leader at all, Xifenghuai coughed twice and had to introduce him first, "Um, president, this is the clan leader of our party Xiang Xifeng clan, these two are brothers of our clan. .”

"Oh, dear, you're a distinguished guest. Please bring two more stools over."

After Wang Gui brought the stools, Wang Zhi greeted the four more people, "You're welcome, come and sit down."

The old patriarch Xifeng looked at the round stool that was only big enough for his half butt to sit on. His face turned green and his fat body couldn't stop trembling.

He was the dignified leader of the Dangxiang royal family, and he would be given a seat by the emperor in the Xixia court. But when he came here to Guan Xiaocheng, he was so humiliated.

Upon seeing this, Xifeng Huaizuo quickly gave up his stool and sat down to appease the old patriarch. In order to avoid anything bad happening next, he directly said to Wang Zhidao: "President, what I told you three days ago Do you still remember the matter of transferring our party, Xiang Xifeng, to discuss matters in Xixia?"

"Well, remember, I've also prepared the contract, Agui."

Wang Gui understood and left, and Xifeng Huaizui let out a sigh of relief. No matter how Wang Zhi made things difficult for the old patriarch, as long as the contract was signed, his work would be considered completed.

As for the old clan leader Xifeng and his two clan brothers, they didn't say a word from beginning to end and just watched everything with cold eyes.

People under the roof will inevitably be controlled by others, but they have recorded the humiliation they suffered today, and they will repay it a hundred times in the future.

Wang Gui brought the contract, Wang Zhi took it, stood up and handed it to the old patriarch Xi Feng with both hands politely.

Just when the old patriarch of Xifeng received the contract, from the corner of his eye, he seemed to see the young man in front of him grinning, and then he saw him retreating while crying out in pain, "How dare the shameless old thief assassinate me!"

Then a figure flashed, and a red-faced young man appeared in front of him. A cold light suddenly appeared, and his chest hurt. Old Patriarch Xifeng looked down and saw that a bright long knife had penetrated deeply into the left chest, where the heart was.

"you……"

The poor old patriarch of Xifeng, who had a face of nearly six feet, traveled hundreds of miles to this miserable place, and after saying only one word, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

This scene seemed slow but was actually fast. Before the Xi Feng clan could react, the blood had already spread.

One of Xifenghuai's clan brothers was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his eyes so wide that they almost popped out of his sockets.

Another noble from the Xifeng clan also stood up in a hurry and pointed at several people who were trembling and speechless.

"President!"

"This is you!"

Xifenghuai also jumped up in fright, stunned by the scene in front of him.

"As you can see, this old guy just took advantage of my unpreparedness and tried to murder me. Fortunately, I was very agile, otherwise I would have fallen into his hands today."

Xifeng and Xifeng looked at Wang Erlang, who had sat back on the chair with his legs crossed and eating grapes, and their hearts were racing.

The standing nobleman of the Xifeng clan was furious and pointed at Wang Erlang and scolded him loudly, "You...you are just talking nonsense. The leader of our clan is fifty-eight years old and is fat. He can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands." , I don’t have a sharp weapon in my hand, how can I murder you!”

Wang Zhi heard this and pulled out the saber from the waist of the guard behind him and threw it into the hands of the old patriarch Xifeng who was lying dead. "Here, look, doesn't he have a weapon in his hand?"

The boss of the Xi Feng clan had eyes split open and was about to get angry and desperate, but someone pulled his clothes underneath him. He lowered his head and saw that it was the clan brother who came with him. When their eyes met, he understood instantly. .

In this scene, if the damned President Wang said that the clan leader assassinated him, then it was the clan leader who assassinated him. If you refute, it will be your turn to assassinate him right away...

So he stopped talking, just trembling all over, whether he was angry or afraid.

"Oh my, brother Xi Feng, now you, the old patriarch, would rather die than sign this contract for you. Look at this contract..."

As he spoke, Wang Erlang stood up and picked up the blood-soaked contract in the hands of the old patriarch Xifeng. He held a corner and handed it to the noble Xifeng who had just gotten up from the ground. "How about you sign it?"

"ah!"

The finely sealed noble looked at the bleeding contract in front of him and was so frightened that he fell unsteadily to the ground. It seemed that this ordinary-sized round stool was too small for a person of his weight.

He stood up and did not dare to sit down anymore and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, no... I am only a small member of the clan, so how can I be qualified to sign the contract."

"Did you sign that?"

As he spoke, Wang Zhi brought the bloody contract in front of the noble Xifeng who was still tough just now, with a warm smile and dazzling blood.

The body of this fine-sealed nobleman was shaking even more violently. At this time, he finally saw through the current situation. I am afraid that if he dared to say an inappropriate word, he would be dead like an old patriarch in the next second.

"No... no... Huai Zai has always handled our clan's business matters reliably. Now that the clan leader is gone, he should continue to handle it."

He finished speaking in one breath, not daring to speak out loud, as if he was waiting for the death sentence.

Fortunately, he got the answer right. Wang Zhi liked the answer very much. He threw down the contract and covered it on the face of the old patriarch, who was not dead. He walked up to Xifeng Huaizai and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "Brother Xifeng, you saw it too." , now that no one in your clan is willing to do the hard work of the Chamber of Commerce for you, what do you think we should do?"

"Guild... President, can you allow me to go back and discuss it with my clan members, and then come back and explain to the President."

Xifeng Huaizai was also frightened at this time, and he couldn't speak very fluently.

"Well, that's how it should be. You go back first, and come back to me later to tell me who among your clan will take the position of the Chamber of Commerce for you, or whether your clan will withdraw from the Xixia Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Zhi's words were accentuated, and even a fool could hear the strong threat in them. Xifeng Huai took a deep look at Wang Erlang, with gratitude in his eyes.

The other two nobles with fine seals quickly bowed and retreated, not even paying attention to the body of the old patriarch.

In the end, Wang Erlang couldn't stand it anymore and ordered his guards to take the old patriarch Xi Feng for a ride.

Several people carried the fat body that was still dripping with blood and threw it directly outside the house. With a "boom", the twenty fine seal guards sitting nearby were frightened.

When they stepped forward to take a look and recognized who the corpse was, their faces turned pale.

Someone wanted to go up to seek explanation, but a row of spears were pressed against their throats, and they lost their voice for an instant.

Xifeng Huaizui led the two fat clan brothers out of the government office. He was panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead, and ordered a group of guards to carry the old clan leader's body onto the carriage. Now, immediately, go back to the mansion.

The guards didn't even dare to ask for it, so they quickly moved the body, got on their horses and drove away.

When they got out of the city gate, they saw more than a thousand soldiers and began to cry. When a group of fine soldiers heard that the old clan leader had been killed, some of them were so angry that they wanted to destroy Pingxia City to seek justice for the clan leader, so they took them with them. A group of brainless brothers rushed to Pingxia City Gate.

But before he could reach the city gate, he was shot into a sieve and fell off his horse.

The guards behind them quickly reined in their horses and looked up. Countless arrows with cold light were pointed at their heads.
