"Third Young Master is right." Xiao Chen understood what Zhangsun Wuxin meant, so he said, "Actually, I don't have any deep grudges with Third Young Master.
"Actually, Third Young Master and I don't have a deep grudge. It's just that Third Young Master was confused for a moment and was confused by the Li and Zhou Clan. Right now, our common enemy is the Li and Zhou Clan."
Hearing Xiao Chen and Zhangsun Wuxin talking calmly, the Zhangsun clan members breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, the Li and Zhou clans' expressions turned ugly again.
No matter how much he said, it was meaningless. There was no way he could beat Xiao Chen in a verbal battle. It was only because Xiao Chen had Zhangsun Wuxin's life in his hands that he had the Changsun family's pulse. That was enough.
Zhangsun Wuxin was Zhangsun You Ye's third son. Zhangsun You Ye wouldn't ignore his son's life and death, so Xiao Chen had the absolute advantage.
Speaking of which, there was a strange thing in the Zhangsun clan. Zhangsun Wudi had three sons. The eldest was Zhangsun You Ming, the second was Zhangsun You Ri, and the third was Zhangsun You Ye.
Zhangsun You Ming didn't have any children, not even a daughter. Zhangsun You Ri had a lot of wives and concubines and had more than a dozen descendants. Unfortunately, they were all daughters, which was a strange thing.
Zhangsun You Ye, on the other hand, had three sons. They were Zhangsun Wuwo, Zhangsun Wu Qing, and Zhangsun Wuxin.
Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wu Qing were born of the main wife and had a noble status. Zhangsun Wuxin was born of a concubine. Although his status was noble, he couldn't compare to Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wu Qing.
Because of this, Zhangsun Wuxin was jealous of Zhangsun Wuwo and Zhangsun Wu Qing's birth. In order to fight for the position of the future patriarch, he even secretly hated his half-brothers.
However, no matter what, Zhangsun Wuxin was Zhangsun You Ye's biological son and the third young master of the Zhangsun clan. Zhangsun You Ye wouldn't ignore his life and death.
Although Zhangsun You Ye was the third elder of the Zhangsun clan, because of his three sons, he would inherit Zhangsun Wudi's position as the patriarch and acting patriarch sooner or later.
A father's status depended on his son.
Because Zhangsun You Ming and Zhangsun You Ri did not have a son, they were destined to not be able to inherit the position of Patriarch and Patriarch. This could not be blamed on anyone else, they could only blame their children for not giving birth to half a son.
Although the Changsun family clan was very large and had a large population, there were fewer direct descendants. Every generation would only have two or three male direct descendants. Changsun Wuxin and his brothers were the direct descendants of the younger generation.
The Changsun family valued Changsun Wuxin and his two brothers very much. Changsun Wuxin's words carried a lot of weight because he was doted on and valued by his grandfather.
Therefore, Xiao Chen holding Zhangsun Wuxin hostage was very useful. As long as he was not careful and was not ambushed by the experts of the Zhangsun Family, he would be very safe.
Now that Xiao Chen and Zhangsun Wuxin had temporarily formed an alliance and shared a common enemy, Li Shijie and Zhou Botong's scheme was destined to fail.
Indeed!
Zhangsun You Ye and Zhangsun You Ri finally chose to believe Zhangsun Wuxin. In addition, they really wanted to teach the Li family and Zhou family a lesson, so they cast their malicious gazes on Li Shijie and Zhou Botong again.
Li Shijie and Zhou Botong realized that the situation had developed to an extremely disadvantageous point. Their hearts became extremely heavy, and their faces were gloomy. Their eyes flashed with a complicated look.
Zhangsun You Ri's patience was running out. He slowly raised the jade slip in his left hand and threatened.
"Li Shijie, Zhou Botong, do you plead guilty or not? If you plead guilty, our Changsun family will be lenient. If you don't plead guilty, you know the consequences. "
"This is a jade slip in my hand. I will only give you ten breaths of time to make a decision. The time starts now! One … "
The originally relaxed atmosphere became tense again. It became extremely tense, and swords were drawn.
"Two!"
"Three!"
…
Zhangsun You Ri's cold voice rang out clearly. It struck the hearts of the Li and Zhou family experts, causing the atmosphere to become more and more oppressive and tense. It made them feel like they could not breathe.
Zhangsun Wuxin's injuries were much better because he had eaten a sacred healing pill. If not for his lack of strength, he would have tried to break free from Xiao Chen's control. Unfortunately, with his strength, it was like throwing an egg at a rock in front of the powerful Xiao Chen. He could not withstand a single blow.
Xiao Chen's left claw was still gripping the back of Zhangsun Wuxin's neck. As long as the latter made the slightest move, Xiao Chen would end his life in an instant.
Zhangsun Wuxin could clearly feel Xiao Chen's decisive and cruel methods. Thus, Zhangsun Wuxin did not dare to make the slightest move.
As the young master of an aristocratic family, he still had many good days ahead of him. There were countless women waiting for him to defile. How could he treat his life as a joke?
"Six!"
"Seven!"
…
Ten breaths of time were about to pass.
Whether Li Shijie and Zhou Botong would submit to the Zhangsun family's despotic power would soon become clear. At that time, it would also become clear whether Xiao Chen could achieve his goal of defeating the enemy.
Hearing Zhangsun You Ri's countdown, Li Shijie and Zhou Botong's expressions were extremely ugly. They were in a fierce struggle in their hearts. Submit? Start a war?
Regardless of whether they submitted or started a war, it would be disadvantageous for the Li and Zhou families. After all, the combined strength of the two families was far inferior to the Zhangsun family.
However, Li Shijie and Zhou Botong were unwilling to submit to the Zhangsun family. Once they submitted to the Zhangsun family, it would mean that the Li and Zhou families were in the wrong, and they would be ruthlessly ripped off by the Zhangsun family.
At that time, the Li and Zhou families would be bled by the Zhangsun family. After that, their vitality would be greatly damaged, and the combined strength of their families would be greatly reduced. This was beyond doubt.
It was precisely because of this that Li Shijie and Zhou Botong had persisted until now, hoping to bluff their way through. But now, it seemed that bluffing was impossible. They had to make a choice.
Submit? Start a war?
Submit? Start a war?
"Ten! Time's up! "
Just as Li Shijie and Zhou Botong were in a dilemma, Zhangsun You Ri said "ten", announcing that the time was up. Next, it was time for Li Shijie and Zhou Botong to make their stand.
Once the time was up, the tense atmosphere instantly reached its peak, as if a huge battle could erupt at any time.
"Kill!"
Just at this time, a loud roar resounded through the area, like a thunderclap that shook the heavens, causing everyone to feel a little dizzy and painful. It also caused the tense atmosphere to explode.
"Courting death! Kill them! "
Zhangsun You Ri and Zhangsun You Ye, who were a little dizzy from the shock, thought that it was either Li Shijie or Zhou Botong who gave the order to attack. Immediately, their killing intent surged, and they gave the order to attack.
"Xiu." "Xiu." "Xiu." The six Zhangsun family experts all summoned their weapons and charged at the three Li and Zhou family experts.
"Ah?" Li Shijie and Zhou Botong were slightly stunned when they saw the Zhangsun family experts charging at them. Their somewhat dizzy minds suddenly cleared up, and Li Shijie subconsciously shouted,
"Zhangsun You Ri, Zhangsun You Ye, stop! It wasn't us who gave the order just now! It was someone else. Yes, it must be Xiao Chen. That bastard Xiao Chen disguised his voice and gave the order. Don't fall for it! "
"Shut up! Li Shijie, I heard it clearly. It was your voice. How can Xiao Chen's voice be so old? Why don't you try to disguise yourself as Xiao Chen? "
"Li Shijie, Zhou Botong, you two old fogeys have wild ambitions. If I don't teach you a lesson, do you think our Zhangsun family is made of paper? Hmph! "
The enraged Zhangsun You Ri and Zhangsun You Ye had already given the order. They didn't listen to Li Shijie's explanation at all. Even if they were wrong, they would make the best of it. In any case, they were determined to teach the Li and Zhou families a good lesson, and show the absolute dominance of the Zhangsun family.
"Damn it! You people from the Zhangsun family are complete idiots! You're being used by others, yet you still refuse to realize your error! "Li Shijie was infuriated by Zhangsun You Ri and Zhangsun You Ye's unreasonable behavior, and began to spout nonsense.
"That's right! They are idiots! Idiots! Brother Li, we don't need to explain anymore. We've said so much, but it's like playing the lute to a cow! "
