Outside Hangu Pass, Zhou City sent people to build a camp for five days in a row, and Lin Ze stood on the city wall and watched for five days, and the two sides maintained this balance very tacitly.

After Wu Chen and others had an unpleasant encounter with Zhou Shi, the relationship between the two sides dropped to a freezing point, to put it bluntly, no one looked down on anyone.

Wuchen They thought that Zhou City was too cautious, since Zhao Zheng returned to heaven, the strength of the Qin State did not exist, so there was no need to worry, otherwise how could they be so easy to restore the country?

In addition, it has been more than five months since Chen She's rebellion began, and Qin's response was only to defend the pass, and he never took the initiative to send troops to quell the rebellion, which proved that the remaining strength of Qin's state would not be too strong.

According to their ideas, an army of millions of people, regardless of the cost, will definitely be able to capture Hangu Pass.

Zhou Shi didn't think so, Lin Ze's sword left a deep impression on him, and he was not sure enough to capture Hangu Pass.

The capture of Hangu Pass was of course important to Zhou City, but it was even more important for him to minimize casualties.

......

On the city wall, Lin Ze lay leisurely on a bamboo chair, reaching out from time to time to pick up a strange fruit full of energy and stuffing it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed up, lined up, stood in front of Lin Ze and bowed, "Meet Lord Shaofu." ”

Lin Ze looked up, and the first three were the heirs of the three families of Meng Xibai, and the rest were the sons of powerful people who bought the "right to merit in battle" from Lin Ze.

I saw Lin Ze let out a faint "um", lying lazily on the bamboo chair, not moving.

Lin Ze's disregard suddenly stung the sensitive and arrogant hearts of this group of powerful children.

If it weren't for Lin Ze's heavy troops, they would have been furious since they were a child [31 31xs.] smooth water.

Rao is like this, and the children of the powerful can't help but turn dark, and a few of them are even more bruised, showing a posture that explodes if they don't agree with each other.

Meng Feng hurriedly stretched out his hands, signaled his companion to be calm, and after appeasing his companion, he arched his hand towards Lin Ze again and said, "Lord Shaofu, I waited to come today to ask, when will the adult fulfill his promise?"

Lin Ze ate a strange fruit like an apple in three or two bites, and said slowly: "Promise?

Meng Feng forcibly held back his anger and reminded: "Two months ago, after receiving gifts from us, my lord announced in public that he would send troops to attack the main force of the Chen thief in two months and create fighters for us. Now that two months have passed, the rebels are now, why is Lord Shaofu retreating into the city?"

"Idiot" Lin Ze scolded in a low voice, but it happened to be heard by everyone present.

Meng Feng's face immediately turned blue and white, extremely ugly, just as he wanted to open his mouth to reason with Lin Ze, Lin Ze stood up, glanced at the powerful children present with a cold gaze and said:

"There are more than a million rebels outside the city, and this officer is responsible for his subordinates, and it is the wisest choice to defend the pass. When it's time to send troops, the officer will send his own troops, so let's go back. ”

Meng Feng's speech was blocked, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and Xiyue next to him took a step forward and said: "Lord Shaofu is unwilling to send troops, and we don't force it, I just ask Lord Shaofu to allow us to take our army out of the city and fight a decisive battle with the rebels." ”

Lin Ze flatly refused: "No." ”

Xiyue was stunned and said, "Why is this?"

"The city gate must not be opened lightly, what if there is a traitor among you and take the opportunity to help the rebels seize the city?" Lin Ze said coldly.

When Lin Ze said this, he immediately aroused the anger of the public, and the children of the powerful people made a lot of noise:

"How can I be a mole?"

"You are cowardly, why do you want to hinder me?"

"Why are you stubborn for your own use?"

Lin Ze's face turned cold, and he scolded with all his might: "Shut up, go back to the official, if anyone dares to bring up the matter of the city again, the official will treat him as a traitor." ”

Meng Feng and the others exchanged glances, and the five gray-clothed old men quickly stepped forward and surrounded Lin Ze, and the momentum of the peak of the six grades was intertwined and shrouded towards Lin Ze.

The children of the powerful outside the circle can faintly feel the pressure brought by the five old men, which is a kind of natural pressure from the strong in martial arts to the weak.

I saw that these powerful children all showed a happy look, and a thought appeared in my heart: Let you be crazy, now see how you end?

One of the old men said dryly: "Young man, if you have something to discuss, why should you be so unkind?"

Lin Ze showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked with a very puzzled look: "Are you threatening this official?" Have you ever thought about the consequences here?"

A powerful kid interjected: "Lord Shaofu's words are wrong, how can this be regarded as a threat? Aren't we discussing with the adults? I hope the adults will think about it." ”

However, the smug look on his face couldn't be hidden.

I saw Lin Ze stretch his waist, stand up, and said indifferently: "For the sake of the fact that the ransom given by your family is really rich, this official will give you another chance, and before the official is not angry, hurry up." ”

The old man laughed angrily: "Your Excellency is too much to look at...... no one."

However, before the words fell, Lin Ze's whole person turned into countless afterimages, and gently slapped five palms in all directions.

I only heard the five sounds of "bang bang" in the air, and the five old men who were originally vigorous were like residual leaves in the wind, turning into five gray figures, quickly flying out in all directions, and then fell heavily to the ground.

After the five of them were hit hard, they didn't even have time to speak, and they only had time to spit out a mouthful of blood before they passed out.

The children of the powerful couldn't help but swallow their saliva, subconsciously took a step back, but shouted wildly in their hearts: "How is it possible, isn't this guy a twenty-something-year-old concubine? How can he be so strong?"

After dealing with the five old men lightly, Lin Ze waved his hand at the Fang Immortal Dao disciples not far away and said, "Arrest them all, notify their elders to ransom people, this time there is no price, whoever gives it is not to my liking, at least he will break his leg, and at worst he will abolish the martial arts." ”

The Fang Immortal Dao disciple who had received Lin Ze's order immediately rushed forward like a wolf.

The powerful children subconsciously wanted to resist, but they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move when Lin Ze looked at him.

The punishment of abolishing the martial arts is too heavy for them to bear.

It didn't take long for the heads of the major families who had been notified to come to the city wall with their guards, and when they saw their sons, nephews or sons, their faces changed and changed.

However, what shocked them even more was the five old men lying on the ground.

These five old men are famous in the circle of the powerful.

Because these five people had teamed up to fight against Ye Teng and Zhao Tuo, who had just been promoted to grandmaster, and they were invincible within a quarter of an hour.

Now lying here unconscious, how not to be surprised.

Lin Ze didn't hesitate, let people tell him what had just happened, and then put forward his own requirements.

The heads of each family glanced at their sons, nephews, or sons with hatred, but others didn't know, didn't they know? There were millions of rebels outside the city, and if they really wanted to lead their troops out of the city, how could they come back alive?

Now when he heard that he was stopped by Lin Ze, instead of being angry, he felt that he was fortunate to be stopped, and he admitted to Lin Ze's blackmail, and honestly paid a ransom.

When the families paid the ransom and were about to bring the people back, Lin Ze said coldly: "One last reminder to you, what comes out of the mouth of this official is not to discuss with you, but to order. If you really want to find death, take a good look at it, does your family have the ability to avenge you?"

The magnates were silent and left in a hurry.

After everyone left, a sneer appeared on Lin Ze's face: "It's a little interesting, do you think that this will break the momentum of my alliance with the magnates? It's a pity that I never expected these magnates to be regarded as help." ”

Who is behind the scenes this time, for Lin Ze, it can be said at a glance, he can say a word, in terms of playing with power, Li You is a little worse than his old son.
