"Prince Yanbei is here, this old man welcomes you from afar." The Shangguan Family's Patriarch was very calm. When he saw the Prince walking over with his troops, he stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"The news from the Shangguan family is really well-connected." The prince brought his army and stopped at the main entrance of the Shangguan Mansion. The soldiers immediately dispersed and encircled the Shangguan Mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
The Prince sat down in one of the chairs and said to Shangguan Family Head, "I don't like to talk standing."
"The Southern Goblin King wishes to travel to Yanbei and send troops to Beichen. This King is considering it." The prince shamelessly misled the Shangguan Family Head.
"As expected... The Southern Goblin King is ambitious. In order to eliminate Beichen, selling out our family is nothing. " When Shangguan Family Head heard this, the last trace of doubt in his heart was dispelled.
To sell out a few subordinates in front of enough benefits was not a big deal.
After the Shangguan family head sighed with emotion, he calmly negotiated with the prince, "Your Royal Highness, I have a complete map of the southern border. Can I exchange it for a way out of the Shangguan family?"
"No way!" The Prince rejected him without any hesitation. "I do not need the Southern Wilderness."
The Shangguan Family leader was not disappointed but continued to raise the stakes. "Then, what about the five thousand men and horses from the Southern Wilderness? I have five thousand soldiers and horses in the southern territory.
"No way!" The same answer, the Prince replied without hesitation.
"There is another piece of information, a nail buried in Yanbei at the southern border." The Shangguan Family Head continued to raise the stakes.
This time, the Prince did not refuse, but also did not agree with the Shangguan Family Head's words. The Prince said, "In exchange for the life of the descendants of the Shangguan Family."
His Royal Highness didn't want to negotiate, but wanted to tell him that the Shangguan Family Head only had the right to agree or not, and didn't have the right to bargain.
He then took out a wooden box and handed it to the prince with both hands without any resentment or discontent. "My lord, here is a map of the Southern Wilderness with a flowery list and a military emblem. It can move five thousand troops from the Southern Wilderness."
Whether it was loyalty or betrayal, it was all for benefits.
The three families, Situ, Bei Men, and Shangguan, were only third-rate families in Yanbei. The children in their families weren't obvious, and the resources available in Yanbei were limited. If they hadn't cooperated with the southern border, they would have been lost long ago.
They worked for the Southern Wilderness and gained a lot of profits. This was their choice. If this matter was exposed, they would have to pay the price of betrayal. They could hate the Nan Jin Zhao who had betrayed them, but they couldn't blame the King …
"This King will accept it." The Prince took it but did not open it. Instead, he stood up and passed it to the person beside him, "Take the Shangguan Family head away. The rest of the Shangguan Family members, banished!"
This was equivalent to giving the rest of the Shangguan Family a chance to live.
"Thank you, Your Highness." When the Shangguan Family Head heard the answer he wanted, his tense body loosened and he almost fell to the ground.
He was actually not as fearless as he appeared to be.
The prince indifferently turned around and didn't even look at her.
He spared the Shangguan family, but that didn't mean he forgave them.
One time for disloyalty, a hundred times for infidelity. A family like the Shangguan family could never be reused by him and his descendants.
… ….
The prince was a man of his word. As the sky brightened, the prince's subordinates brought the people from Situ, North Gate, and Shangguan to the other villages, along with the people from the Qiu Family.
Four families had gathered, a total of six to seven hundred people. They blocked off the main road outside the manor, and the sounds of crying and insulting Nan Jin Zhao could be heard outside.
When he heard the harsh curses from outside, Nan Jin Zhao couldn't help but rub his brow.
If Xiao Jiu'an wanted to watch out for him, even if he had the ability to transcend the heavens, he wouldn't be able to do anything in Yanbei. He could only watch take these three families down, watch Xiao Jiu'an splash dirty water on him, and say that he had betrayed these three families!
God knows, he didn't say anything.
Only the heavens knew how Xiao Jiu'an knew that these three families were secretly working for the Southern Wilderness.
"Xiao Jiu'an, you are such a bastard!" The curses became louder and louder, Nan Jin Zhao didn't mind being scolded, but he minded Xiao Jiu'an ruining his reputation.
If he could sell out his subordinates in exchange for benefits, then he, Nanjin Zhao, would become a complete hypocrite and a hypocrite. Who would dare to work for him in the future? How dare he work for the Southern Goblin King?
How were they going to bribe people from Yan Bei, Beichen, and Sky Martial in the future?
"I want to see your prince." Nan Jin Zhao did not bother with the reporting of the soldiers, he forcefully opened his mouth and asked to see Xiao Jiu'an.
However, the soldiers of Yan Bei did not give him any face, "I am sorry, Southern Goblin King, our King does not have the time to see you now. The people outside are all your people, how do you think we should deal with them? "
"The people outside... Leave everything to me? " He didn't answer her directly.
"My master said that the Qiu Family can be taken care of by you. As for the others … If you want to get the Southern Goblin King, just pay the price. If you do not want it, we shall execute you according to the laws of Yanbei. "
If Nan Jin Zhao wanted to save them, he would have to pay a huge price. To him, saving a bunch of useless people was clearly not in the interests of Nan Jin Zhao and the Southern Wilderness.
"Your Royal Highness … "Very good!" Nan Jin Zhao's usually smiling face finally couldn't take it anymore. He looked at the soldiers from Yan Bei with a stern expression, his entire being like an enraged beast.
Xiao Jiu'an's actions had ruined his reputation and destroyed the trust his subordinates had for him.
He wanted to go to war and defend himself. Without his reputation and the trust of his subordinates, would he be able to make it?
