The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Then I wonder what Master Li Feng outside the city means?"

Xue Pan sat up straight, clapped his hands, and said with a smile,

"That's right. I'm a useless person and don't understand so many things. It's better for my uncle and I to be straightforward."

Then he said directly without keeping anyone in suspense,

"My peak master said, surrender your weapons, but don't kill! If my uncle had made a decision earlier, when Qingfeng Village entered the city, he would not harm the Wang family at all. He would confiscate their land and only confiscate 90% of their wealth!"

When Wang Ziteng heard this, his face twitched unconsciously.

"This, this is too much..."

Xue Pan waved his hand and stared at Wang Ziteng with burning eyes.

"Uncle, for the sake of our relationship, I'm telling you the truth!"

"Almost everyone who should have left Jinling City has already left. The only ones left are people like you who have nowhere to go even if they want to. The imperial court is facing a massive Tartar army from the north, and they're also considering negotiating peace with Qingfeng Village. So why are you still risking your worthless life for the imperial court?"

As he spoke, Xue Pan stretched out a finger, thought for a moment, and then stretched out another one.

He lowered his voice and said,

"In two days, the 120,000 elite imperial soldiers captured in the stronghold will become the vanguard of the siege!"

"Uncle, for the Wang family and for yourself, you must seize this opportunity!"

Wang Ziteng's expression tightened when he heard this, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Just to explain why Qingfeng Village’s firearms were so powerful, but they didn’t attack the city immediately after the siege.

It turned out that they were waiting to capture the tens of thousands of troops and reduce the casualties in Qingfeng Village!

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng felt that his previous persistence was a bit ridiculous, and his mind began to waver.

Even if he could defend Jinling City for ten days or a month, without reinforcements from the imperial court, Jinling would eventually fall.

By that time, Qingfeng Village would have suffered too many casualties in the siege of Jinling, and they would definitely take their anger out on Wang Ziteng and the entire Wang family!

Thinking about the news about Shenjing he had seen recently, Wang Ziteng sighed helplessly.

Then he looked at Xue Pan and said,

"Pan'er is making great progress now. Uncle is very pleased!"

Xue Pan chuckled and bowed.

"Thank you, uncle! What is your choice?"

Wang Ziteng thought for a moment before he slowly spoke.

"Let me think about it again!"

Xue Pan stood up and bowed,

"Alright! But uncle, you'd better make a decision sooner! You must know that the sooner you open the city gate, the more respect you will receive from our Peak Master. Who knows, after the city gate is opened, you might even have the opportunity to secure an important position in Qingfeng Village!"

Wang Ziteng nodded awkwardly and left.

After seeing Wang Ziteng off, Xue Pan returned to the reception room.

At this time, Linghu Chong was already standing here with a solemn expression on his face.

Xue Pan hurried forward.

"Brother Chong!"

Linghu Chong nodded slightly and asked Xue Pan.

"He doesn't agree?"

Xue Pan smiled and said,

"I seem to be about 70% tempted, but I still have some illusions about the imperial court and am still hesitant!"

Linghu Chong's expression was slightly tense. After thinking for a while, he said to Xue Pan,

"The Peak Master has been in Jinling for three days now, but he's still unable to enter the city. This is my dereliction of duty as the Deputy Hall Master!"

"Now I am going to help the Peak Master enter the city earlier. What do you say?"

Xue Pan was startled, but still said,

"Needless to say? Of course, I will do whatever Brother Chong says!"

Turning to look embarrassed,

"However, the city gate is heavily guarded, and the Peak Master has also ordered that the people will be allowed to enter and exit freely within five days without being stopped. If we..."

Linghu Chong shook his head slightly.

"Of course not!"

Then, he looked up at the outside of the courtyard, his eyes deep and said,

"I'm going to give that Prince Teng some strength!"

Xue Pan was shocked when he heard this.

"Intensity? Up?"

……

After Wang Ziteng left Xue's Mansion, he did not return to the General's Mansion.

Instead, he went straight back to the Wang family.

After entering the Wang family, a group of Wang family elders had already been waiting in the meeting room for a long time.

Everyone looked terrified and sighed.

Seeing Wang Ziteng walk in, they hurriedly stood up and rushed forward to ask,
