Seeing the three people whose expressions only changed slightly, Zeng Wenyu's smile grew even wider. He waved his hand again, and the person he pushed out this time really made the three people in front of him change their expressions completely.

As the children of the real high-ranking officials of Zhengxi City were pushed out, the city lord in front of him finally changed his expression. He would not just watch these people die, especially Li Qi and Zhang Qing. They were the two most beloved children of the two people around him, especially Li Qi, who was the successor trained by his great general!

"Let them go! If you let them go, I can let you leave here!" The Lord of Zhengxi City looked at Zeng Wenyu, whose smile was getting wider, and added, "I can let go of the fact that you attacked my Zhengxi City."

"You don't really think I will believe you, do you? If I let them go now, how can I guarantee that all of us can leave here safely? Unless you let us leave here first, and then let these people go after we guard the border city."

"You're dreaming! When you take them back to Shubian City, who knows if you will really let them go?"

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

Zeng Wenyu shook his finger backwards, and Lan Qianhu behind him raised his knife and chopped off a man's head.

That man was the one with the lowest family status among this group of truly useful people. It was also thanks to Li Qi who had told them the status of these people before, otherwise they would not have been able to force the lord of Zhengxi City bit by bit.

"Son! You killed my son! I will make you pay with your life!"

A man ran out from the army that was conquering West City, but he did not really get close to Zeng Wenyu. He was stopped by others halfway through his run because when he shouted, Lan Qianhu had already put a knife on the neck of another man.

"Don't you agree? If you don't agree, I will kill them one by one. I wonder if your men will still listen to you after all these people are killed because of your inaction?"

These words were the biggest threat to the mayor of Zhengxi City. He looked past Zeng Wenyu and looked at those who were captured. His face changed again and again, as if he was considering whether to keep Zeng Wenyu and the others at the risk of rebellion from his subordinates, or just let them go.

Looking at the hesitant Lord of Zhengxi City, Zeng Wenyu shook his finger back again. The man who had a knife at his neck by Lan Qianhu was beheaded. Another shout was heard from a distance, but that man was also stopped by others.

Zeng Wenyu did not allow Lan Qianhu to continue killing. He also knew that too much is as bad as too little. Killing only one or two would be a threat, but when you kill more, the other side will be united in hatred of the enemy.

Fortunately, he didn't have much time to think. It didn't take long for Zeng Wenyu to see a large number of torches behind the enemy's army. Those torches suddenly caused chaos among the originally quiet Liang soldiers.

The mayor of Zhengxi City heard the chaotic noise and looked behind. When he saw the torches, his pupils suddenly contracted. He knew who they were. They were the army guarding the border city, and they were chasing him from behind after being integrated.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhang, you two stay here first, I'll go take a look!"

"It's the city lord!"

After saying this, the Lord of Zhengxi City flew into the air and left quickly, leaving only General Li and Military Advisor Zhang staring at Zeng Wenyu covetously.

"Would you like to go over and see your daughter?" The two Zeng Wenyus opposite were relatively relaxed. After all, their daughters were abducted by him voluntarily, which was considered a privilege given to the two fathers. Unfortunately, the two fathers did not go over and just stood there.

Military Advisor Zhang looked behind him and saw that their city lord was no longer aware of what was happening here. He turned around and looked at Zeng Wenyu in front of him with a complicated expression: "Boy, don't pretend. Qing'er and Li Qi, you won't do anything, right?"

"Why did Military Advisor Zhang say that? Whether I kill Zhang Qing and Li Qi depends on the choice of your city lord."

"Okay, kid, stop lying to me. Based on my understanding of the two of them, Li Qi should have gone with you voluntarily, right? Or did she not struggle when you abducted her from the General's Mansion? Tell the truth, it was Li Qi who asked you to kill Old Li's son," Military Advisor Zhang did not stop General Li, but General Li did not show any other expression on his face when he heard this. "Old Li's family practices the policy of raising Gu, so he will not blame you for killing his son, not to mention that Li Qi chose you... As for my daughter Zhang Qing, I know my daughter. If she hadn't been beaten into submission by you, she would definitely not have appeared here obediently. She would rather die than be a prisoner."

"As expected of a military advisor, you see things clearly. However... Military Advisor Zhang, can you let your daughter go back with you later? She has been pestering me all the way..."

Military Advisor Zhang shrugged helplessly: "I can't interfere with Qing'er's decision. It's even a question of whether she will come home in the future... It seems that after this time, I will have to resign from the position of military advisor..."

"Old Zhang, you're better off. Xiaoqi is my chosen successor, but it looks like she's going to run away with this kid. Your Zhang Qing likes martial arts, so she can never inherit your position as military advisor. Xiaoqi is a talented general who can command thousands of troops..."

"Would you like to listen to what you two are saying? When did I say I wanted them to go with me?"

"You are such a jerk, you are taking advantage of others!"

"Do you think my daughter is unworthy of traveling with you?"

Seeing the two people in front of him looking at him as if they were looking at a son-in-law but with murderous intent, Zeng Wenyu couldn't help but shrink his neck. He didn't expect that these two people would actually let his daughter go with him, but he still chose to struggle.

"No, I mean I won't stay in Border City forever. Your daughter can't run around with me, right? That would be a life of wandering and displacement!"

"That's great!" Military Advisor Zhang smiled. "If you had stayed in Shubian City, it would have been very difficult for the two of us to do anything. But if you're not in Shubian City, the city lord can't do anything to us, and we don't have to leave our current position."

Looking at the two people in front of him speechlessly, Zeng Wenyu felt that he might have been fooled. These two fathers seemed to be eager to let their daughters follow him.

But before he could continue talking to the two, the Lord of Zhengxi City came back. He looked at Zeng Wenyu with a complicated expression and said, "Go ahead, take the team behind you and your Lord. I have already talked to him. When you meet up with him with your team, he will tell you when to release them."

"Thank you very much, City Lord, for letting us go," Zeng Wenyu turned around and shouted to Lan Qianhu and the others behind him, "Did you hear that? We can leave now. Keep an eye on the hostages. We will reunite with our own team first!"
