Chapter 372

These words made many people nod; they had long seen the flaws in Ying Su's edict!

Precisely for this reason, they dared to leave Likaichaotang without saying a word!

No need!

No need to keep pretending!

Now is the time to gather strength for a single strike!

At this moment, most people were ready!

However, some still worried; they all furrowed their brows, afraid they had judged wrongly!

Thus, they dared not rashly take risks!

"Afraid of judging wrongly?"

"Simple!"

"We are not on the grasslands, but someone is on the grasslands!"

"We do not understand the situation, but someone does!"

"People of the Jianghu shout slogans loudly, hanging justice, benevolence, and such on their lips every day, but the vast majority are so-called opportunists, cowards who fear death, possessing martial skills yet utterly spineless!"

"Especially that group led by Xiao Yaozi; I heard long ago they went there initially to kill Li Yuanba!"

"But later, out of fear of death, they defected to Ying Su!"

"Yet even after defecting to Ying Su, they were captured alive by Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and switched sides again!"

"During the time Ying Su annihilated the Xiongnu, they actually switched sides five times!"

"Five times, everyone!"

"I consider myself shameless enough, but... they are even more shameless than me!"

"This is a group of cowards with not a shred of integrity; shame they claim to be Daoists, shame their revered ancestor is Laozi!"

"With this lot, whether it is Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu or Ying Su, they are all used like trash!"

"This lot has no loyalty whatsoever, and they are stupid to the extreme; do not be fooled by them delivering edicts for Ying Su now, they are very foolish!"

"I just need to use a little trick to make them speak the truth!"

"Come, invite Mr. Xiao Yaozi in!"

Wei Pao spoke and called out!

And not long after, Xiao Yaozi was invited in!

At this very moment, he was in high spirits!

Because... just today during the day, he had received a title from Li Si, Great Lord of Liang!

This was exchanged for five hundred Xiongnu ears!

Now, he was a genuine noble!

So, seeing so many people present, he smiled, clasped his hands, then sat down on his own, glanced at them with his nose, and asked: "Everyone, why have you invited me here?"

He asked, and at this moment, he was extremely arrogant!

There was no help for it; a noble!

This is what countless people dream of!

And now, he had obtained it!

Moreover, he held the highest title among the crowd, with a stipend of one thousand shi!

It is said that even throughout the entire history of the Qin Army, this is a very awesome title!

No help for it!

He was too excited, really too excited!

And the people present could understand this excitement!

A hen turning into a phoenix!

Who wouldn't understand?

But understanding aside, the crowd still could not help but despise him from the bottom of their hearts!

Yet which of the nobles present was not a thousand-year-old fox?

Even when they despised someone, they never showed it on their faces.

That would damage their noble demeanor too much.

Plus, since they needed Xiao Yaozi to speak the truth, everyone treated Xiao Yaozi with utmost respect, and showered him with all sorts of flattery!

They praised his Wu Gong as Gao Qiang, praised him for leading the Menren Sect to a new height!

They even praised him for accomplishing the feat of annihilating the Xiongnu!

After this barrage of flattery, Xiao Yaozi was practically floating!

He began to brag to the crowd about the scene of him slaughtering everywhere in Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu's camp!

After bragging about various things for a while, finally, someone asked about the situation of his last battle!

And when speaking of this last battle, Xiao Yaozi's expression suddenly changed.

Finally, he repeated the content reported by Ying Su!

However, the crowd did not believe these words at all!

Wei Pao said: "Brother, do you know what we are gathering here to discuss?"

"Discussing how not to pay taxes!"

"And also discussing enfeoffment!".......

163, Eight hundred thousand trapped in Xianyang! Fifty thousand kill Ying Su!...

"What?"

Wei Pao's single sentence simply terrified Xiaoyaozi into a stupor!

He never expected these people to be so bold!

However, Wei Pao paid no heed to this, but instead looked at him and continued speaking:

"There's no choice; Ying Su exploits us, and exploits us far too ruthlessly!"

"Nobles pay ninety percent of their taxes!"

"How outrageous, how terrifying is that!"

"Moreover, you are now a noble yourself; do you really wish to pay ninety percent of your taxes in the future?"

"I..."

Xiaoyaozi opened his mouth; he clearly wanted to say he was unwilling!

But... Wei Pao did not let him speak those words.

Instead, he continued speaking:

"You are a person of ability!"

"Previously, the reason you remained merely a sect leader was that you had no opportunity to display your talents!"

"Now that the opportunity has arrived, you have directly displayed your skills!"

"Otherwise, how could you have earned the battle merits of killing five hundred people? That is the battle merit of killing five hundred people in a single battle!"

"Even Wang Jian has no record of killing five hundred people alone!"

"Bai Qi killed at most only two hundred and some people!"

"Lian Po? Li Mu?"

"They are nothing before you!"

"I wish to ride the wind and rise straight up ninety thousand li!"

"With merely one opportunity, you successfully obtained the Great Liangzao that so many dream of, and gained the honor of nobility!"

"But... is being a single noble enough?"

"It is far from enough!"

"Your skills have already reached such a level; do you really wish to contentedly pay ninety percent of your taxes?"

"And then become an ordinary noble?"

"Do you not wish to obtain a country, just like the former Zhao Guo, Qi Guo, Han Guo, and other states?"

"No, no, no! A single noble title is too small; it is too small to contain your skills!"

"Now, you only need to speak the truth of the final battle; after we succeed, we will grant you a country!"

"And you will be the king of that country!"
