The nobles who were still awake and still had the last straw-like expectation for the ink man suddenly collapsed, looked at the indifferent ink man in disbelief, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Can't hold it?" ”

"I can't hold it."

The inkmen repeated their answer just now, and there was no difference from what they had just said, as if they were saying that the water of the Yellow River would flow eastward.

Xu Miao looked at these almost collapsed nobles with a calm face, and naturally chose to continue to live in order to preserve his strength.

Originally, he committed suicide and died as he should.

Because during that period of history, Meng Sheng became a giant, and he believed that the Mo family must rely on the nobles and the monarch to realize the dream of benefiting the world.

In this case, it is necessary to show that it is worth being used, to be faithful to what it has said, and to show its means in defending the city.

Meng Sheng believes that if the ink does not die, it is a broken promise, who in the world will use the ink again? How can the righteousness of Mojiali be realized?

Meng Sheng is right, but this moment is no longer that moment, so Xu Xiao is right to live.

Because in the previous letter, Shi has made it clear that the Mo family does not need to be attached to any aristocratic monarch now, and can even no longer rely on the contradiction between the aristocracy and the monarch to oppose the aristocratic monarch together.

Even so, Xu Miao couldn't find a reason for himself to die.

He wants to live, to fight for a better life for those who are alive, for what they deserve.

Moreover, the reason why the Mo family defended the city this time was very simple: Wei Han called over before the non-offensive alliance was signed, and Xu Qiao and others defended the city for only one reason - that is, to let the nobles and monarchs agree to the demands of the people.

Now that it can't be defended, and since these nobles are going to die, then the party B of this contract will have to be replaced - the party side of the contract is the owner of the land fief, not the person. Whoever inherits the fief and land is Party B, not with the shell of these nobles to sign, since people are the sum of all social relations, then with the ownership of the fief changing hands, the current aristocracy is no longer the nobles of the contract Party B, and it is naturally invalid.

A hero finally stood up among the panicked nobles.

"Today, if you die in war, you will die if you don't fight, and a gentleman in the world should plan great things."

"The enemy is in the Xiao wall, the enemy is in the palace, you will follow me to kill the traitorous thief!"

"It's nothing more than death, so why suffer the humiliation of being captured? Do you think that we, the 'thieves who kill kings', will still be able to live? ”

Of course, these words were said to the nobles, after all, the Mo family was carrying a "thief who harms the world", not a "thief who kills the king". The Mo family is equal and has no king, love and no father, and there is not even a king, so naturally there is no killing.

This nobleman also understood that the Mo family and them were more of a temporary cooperative relationship, but he knew that there were many heroic figures among the Mo people, and it was inevitable that he hoped that relying on these words could stimulate the blood of some people, and it was unknown that a rush might really turn the situation around.

However, the inkers stood there motionless like logs, and there was not a single hero.

The nobleman called on a lot of bewildered nobles, and what was needed at this time was the courage to raise the flag.

These nobles were just about to rush forward to kill, but they didn't want a few ink masters to stop in front.

"What do you mean by that? If you don't help us fight back, do you want us to surrender? Do you expect to rely on your righteousness of love to save us from slaughter and humiliation? ”

The Mo Shi at the head smiled and said: "If it is useful to reason, the covenant of the third army has been reached twenty years ago; If the preaching is useful, as early as forty years ago, when Zi Mozi gave a lecture and loved non-attack, the world would have been decided. ”

"Go and die. If this matter is really Zheng Jun's treason, then Wei Han has no response? ”

The nobleman was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what the ink man meant, but he didn't want the ink man to say: "Since you are certain to die, after death you will only need a three-foot hole, and no matter how much land you have, it will be useless." ”

"Why, then, do not fulfill the covenant before you die? Write a letter to return all your land to the people? ”

"The people are the kindest, and we can also be a guarantee, although our Mo family is buried thinly, but when the time comes, the people will collect your body and bury you thickly; and I may raise your wives for you. ”

Those nobles originally had a high temperament, with a mortal heart ready to die on the way to charge the bright sword, who would have thought that these ink masters would be so disastrous and not forget to take advantage of the fire to rob at such a time.

The aristocracy at the head sneered: "The matter of death and life, the heroic spirit, has no effect on you in the slightest. If it is true that the gentleman is righteous and the villain is profitable, are these righteous heroes as good as a few acres of land for you? ”

The ink man smiled, shook his head, and said, "Say whatever you want." In addition, I have something to convince you. ”

The nobleman was stunned for a moment, and snorted: "If these words are only profitable and unrighteous, I don't think you need to say it." ”

Thinking of the result of the discussion just now, the ink scholar said solemnly: "You leave it to us, will Wei Han agree?" They don't agree, and the people naturally oppose them, and one day in the future, when everyone rises up, you will also be regarded as a great revenge, isn't it beautiful? ”

"You will die, and who do you expect to avenge you? Therefore, instead of just dying, it is better to do something before you die, which is better than not doing it. ”

By this time there had been a tumultuous sound in the west, where the smoke and dust were getting heavier and heavier, and the nobles knew that they had no time, and that this was a sure thing.

Before he died, when he heard the words about revenge, he finally let go of the anger he had just now, and nodded: "That's it, it's good!" ”

After that, the ink man immediately took out a document that he had just drafted, and the written meaning was very simple, that is, all the fiefs of these nobles were given to the people, and those who agreed to sign their names and leave their own tokens.

These nobles knew that they would die, and they no longer had nostalgia, and they were helpless to be forced to this role, so they wrote their names one after another.

Then holding the sword and shouting a few times, some loyal armor soldiers and some people who were affected by this heroic sword aura actually followed, and the shadows were about hundreds, and they killed towards the west.

As soon as those nobles left, Xu Miao asked, "Even if you have the paperwork in hand, will Wei Han agree?" ”

The leading ink master smiled: "The result is self-evident, they will definitely not agree." But the crux of the matter is the reason for their refusal. ”

"How do you think they'll refuse?"

Xu Miao thought for a while and said, "It may be a lot." First, they don't need a reason, they think it's unprecedented, they don't need to think about it, they don't need to discuss it, they just have no reason to reject it for granted. ”

The leading ink man smiled even more and said, "That's very good. The people of Xinzheng will know that Zheng Jun, Qi Mu, or Wei Han Zhijun are all raccoon dogs, and there is no difference. They will be angry, they may hold back for a while, but when someone gives them hope of victory, they will certainly stand up. ”

"The task given to us by the giant is to awaken and anger the people, and our task is completed, and the people will fight for their own interests one day in the future."

"Good."

Xu Wan nodded, agreed, and then said: "The second possibility is that they will think that the world is conquering, although this land is divided, but after the destruction of the country, it will naturally belong to the victorious country." They have the right to distribute. ”

The leading ink master smiled even more and said: "In this case, if they can rob others today, are they telling the people that when the people become stronger in the future, they can also use the same reason to snatch them back?" ”

"I like this reason, this reason is simply to say that whoever can fight the best deserves the land. In fact, the people are the most capable of fighting, especially with muskets and iron weapons, so with the same reason to take back the land, the only bit of guilt in the hearts of the people is gone. ”

"Just like the story told by the giant, the common people asked the nobles why there was so much land, and the nobles said that their father passed it on to him, and the common people asked where did your father, your father's father, and your ancestors' land come from? The nobles said that it was the result of conquest. Then the common people can say, "Then we will do the same thing today as your fathers." ”

"I think it's a good reason, I like it."

Xu Miao also smiled and nodded: "I understand, Wei Han doesn't admit it, for us, the goal has been achieved, no matter what reason they use, they can let the people understand their shamelessness and silverfish nature." ”

"If Wei Han admits it, then our goal has also been achieved, so that the people really have access to the land, and let the people know that the previous rules are not taken for granted, and that they can get what they want through struggle."

"The only concern is that they will raise their butcher knives......"

The leading Mo man laughed even more, raised his head and said: "As long as Sishang still belongs to the Mo family, as long as Sishang still has a righteous master who can fight to the death to kill the princes of a country at any time, they will not dare." When they raised the butcher's knife, they were worried not only about our Mo family, but also about the Chu State and the Qin State, they would not conquer Wei Han for the sake of slaughter, but they would definitely send troops to grab profits because of the endless war between us and Wei Han. ”

"Lord Wei Han will not dare to kill, Uncle Gong will not dare to kill, and Wei will not dare to kill Han You."

"They seem to have sharp teeth and claws like Yud's, but their Yu's are stabbed in grass."

He patted Xu Wan on the shoulder and summed it up with a phrase commonly used in the Sishang Theater: "Don't worry, the show has just begun." ”

Xu Wan asked, "So, what now?" ”

"Now?"

The leading ink maker spread his hands and laughed: "Since Party B, who signed a contract with the people, is dead and is about to be replaced, then this city does not need to be defended." ”

"The order was given, the white flag was raised, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city gathered and prepared to sacrifice the city. In addition, it is also necessary to gather together to prevent Wei Han's soldiers from killing and plundering. All the ink artists brought the ink family's arms and red curtains to maintain order. ”

"The people assembled, and waited for the Lord of Wei and Han to enter the city."

"Raise the white flag!"
