Douluo: Qianxunji's Secret Life

Chapter 108 Tiandou changes hands again.

"When do we take action?" asked one of the family heads.

Xue Beng made a prompt decision and said, "It is better to act now than to wait for a better day. We are in a hurry, so why not set the time of action this morning?"

"I will bring all the family heads into the court on the pretext of dealing with the army of the Wuhun Empire. Then, as long as we take the opportunity to suppress the Wanyan army, we will be able to accomplish great things."

"Also, please go back and make some arrangements outside the palace so that you can effectively delay the Imperial Guards' support for the palace."

"We still have some time, so please go and come back quickly, all the family heads."

"I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the palace."

"Okay, Prince Xue, we'll go ahead." The fourteen family heads left Prince Xue's mansion one after another.

After returning to their respective families, they began to make arrangements and gather people.

The unified order was that as soon as they and Prince Xue entered the palace for a moment, they would approach the palace and loudly beg Xue Qinghe to surrender.

After arranging everything, the fourteen family heads then went to the Tiandou Palace to meet Xue Beng as agreed with him in advance.

……

Tiandou City, outside the imperial palace.

The avalanche had been waiting for a long time.

"Masters, let's go."

The fourteen family heads followed the avalanche, but just as they reached the gate of the imperial palace, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Prince Xue, they are not ministers of the court. It would be inappropriate for them to go in with us, right?"

"Humph, I have discussed the anti-spiritual plan with the fourteen family heads, and now we have achieved results. You still want to stop us? Seeing that the Wuhun Empire is about to attack us, if we delay the deployment, can you afford it?"

"Follow me, heads of families. I will take care of any problems. Saving the country from fire and water is more important." Xue Beng pushed aside the soldiers who were blocking them and entered the palace.

The fourteen family heads saw the opportunity and hurried to follow.

The two soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other and didn't dare to stop them, but it was necessary to report it.

One of the soldiers gave instructions to another soldier and then ran straight to Xue Qinghe's bedroom, intending to report the matter to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe was still practicing at this moment.

After listening to the report from the gatekeepers, he went to the court as soon as possible.

……

At the same time, the clansmen and subordinates of the fourteen families saw that their clan masters had entered the palace for a while. They approached the palace at the same time, shouting: "Your Majesty, we don't want to die, let's surrender..."

There was chaos outside the palace.

Xue Qinghe had already issued an order that the word "surrender" must not appear in Tiandou City, otherwise the person would be beheaded.

Seeing so many people shouting to surrender, the soldiers guarding the gate felt that a storm was coming to Tiandou City.

But the emperor's order was upon him, so one of the soldiers quickly reported the incident to the general.

The general led people to suppress the rebellion, but the effect was not good. People from the fourteen major families and those who did not know the truth began to resist.

Tiandou City was in complete chaos.

……

Inside the palace.

"I heard that you have a good plan to counter the army of the Spirit Empire. Tell me quickly, how should we counter the army of the Spirit Empire in the current situation?"

There was anger in Xue Qinghe's voice. How could he not know about the noisy sounds outside?

He never imagined that one day they, the brothers, would become enemies.

Why are they so afraid of death? Why are they compromising with the enemy who killed their father? Even if they surrender, they will not survive. Why can't his brother understand such a simple truth? The arrow is on the string and must be shot.

Xue Beng said bluntly: "Brother, the only way now is to surrender to the Wuhun Empire and be a vassal of the Wuhun Empire. Only in this way can we save the Tiandou Empire."

"As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. The Wuhun Empire cannot prosper forever. As long as we are willing to wait, we will definitely see the day when the Wuhun Empire declines."

"Even if we can't wait, we can let our sons wait. If our sons can't wait, we can let our grandsons wait, and so on and so forth. One day, we will be able to wait until the Wuhun Empire falls."

"Then it will be time for our Tiandou Empire to revive its banner."

"Brother, don't be stubborn and insist on doing what you want. Surrender. Listen to the voices of the people outside. Do you have the heart to let them die?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Do you think that if we surrender to the Spirit Empire, the Spirit Empire will let us go and let the people outside go?"

"When the army of the Wuhun Empire breaks through a city, there is always a massacre."

"We're going to die anyway, so why not fight to the death with the Spirit Empire and let them know that we, the Heaven Dou Empire, are not easy to bully."

Xue Beng said helplessly: "Brother, you are too paranoid. I have inquired about the reasons why the Wuhun Empire massacred the city. Those who were massacred were all those who were disrespectful to the Wuhun Empire."

"As long as we surrender first, show a surrendering attitude, and submit to the Wuhun Empire, the Wuhun Empire's army will not slaughter us."

"Brother, come back." Xue Beng finally softened his heart and tried to persuade Xue Qinghe to surrender and endure.

The fourteen family heads frowned. This was not the result they wanted.

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe's attitude was firm enough. He scolded Xue Beng loudly again and even wanted to kill him.

Xue Beng took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I can't watch you lead the Tiandou Empire into an irreparable situation."

"You have gone mad. You are not worthy of being the emperor of the Tiandou Empire."

"Masters, let's get started."

As Xue Beng said the word "take action", the fourteen family heads breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They split into two groups, one went towards the Wanyan army, and the other went towards Xueqing River.

Xue Beng looked at the civil and military officials and said, "I hope you can support me. I want to bring you hope."

"Now is the time for you to take a stand."

Duke Kang saw that the time was right and was the first to jump out and say, "I am willing to follow His Majesty Xue Beng until death."

"We are also willing to follow His Majesty Xue Beng until death." The ministers who had a good personal relationship with Duke Kang also stood behind Xue Beng.

In an instant, all the ministers moved, and more than half of them supported Xue Beng. None of them wanted to be buried with Xue Qinghe.

This scene almost pissed Xue Qinghe off to death. While he was fighting back, he cursed, "A bunch of cowards."

"Do you think you can survive if you surrender to the Wuhun Empire?"

"Everyone must die. Everyone must die."

……

The royal dispute finally came to an end.

Xue Qinghe, Wanyan Jun, and a series of other ministers who were unwilling to surrender to the Wuhun Empire eventually turned into corpses.

Xue Beng successfully became the new emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Beng stepped onto the throne of the emperor and said, "Hang up the white flag, open the city gates, and welcome the arrival of the Wuhun Empire to show our sincerity in surrendering to Tiandou."

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers were delighted, as if they had already seen themselves surviving.
