I am the one running the game

Chapter 677 You, go and destroy Lu Xingshi
"Even the Midtown area was destroyed, this..."

A day later, Gu Liangxiu received unexpected news.

This made her look extremely dazed. She could not understand why a commoner would dare to be so unscrupulous. Killing the wealthy was already a heinous crime, and now killing the aristocratic family was simply lawlessness.

"What on earth does he want to do? Is he going to kill even me, a member of the royal family?" A surge of anger surged into Gu Liangxiu's heart.

Having made her lose face in front of Gu Lianglian before was already an unforgivable crime. How could she dare to do such a crime that is intolerable to heaven and earth now?

"Someone, go and bring me the head of that evil man. I want to use his skull as a wine glass." Gu Liangxiu roared.

This was the first time in her life that she had met such a wicked person. She was afraid that there was only one such person in the entire Dali Dynasty.

If this matter were to be spread out, the whole world would be outraged, and perhaps all the royal relatives would lead their troops to surround and kill him.

It may even get a response from all over the world.

"Yes, sir." A level 49 professional hurriedly knelt on the ground and answered, but asked cautiously: "Sir, this evil thief seems to be extraordinary, how about I lead the soldiers in the city to attack him?"

Hearing this, Gu Liangxiu glared at him coldly: "He's just a peasant. Can't you handle him by yourself? Why do you want to start a war?"

"Even if I'm caught, where will I put my face?"

The cold voice reached the ears of this professional, causing him to shudder. The royal family's reputation was the sky of this Licheng city. It had already been lost enough. Now they had to mobilize a large army to kill a peasant. Wasn't it even more embarrassing?

"Yes, sir, I promise to come to you with the head of this evil man." The professional said hurriedly.

Although his rank was higher than Gu Liangxiu's and his strength was stronger than her, she was a member of the royal family. Even if she beat or scolded him, it would be his honor and he would not harbor any resentment.

"Don't come back if you can't get the villain's head." Gu Liangxiu said in a bad tone.

This man is indeed the strongest professional under her command and also the highest-level professional in the entire Li City, but to her, he is just a dog. If he fails to complete the tasks she has assigned him, he might as well die.

As for whether this was self-destruction? Gu Liangxiu had no such idea in his mind. All the subjects of the Dali Dynasty were just slaves of the royal family. Who would dare to resist?
Of course, this time was an exception. After all, Gu Liangxiu did not expect that someone would dare to be so unscrupulous.

"Yes, sir." The professional couldn't help but tremble in his heart. It was just a matter of winning and not losing. Once he lost, he would have to die with him.

However, he did not think that a mere peasant could be compared to himself.

He comes from a noble family and is extremely powerful. How could he be defeated by a peasant?

What? The noble families in Licheng have been destroyed? They are just useless. I am not that kind of useless.

This peasant must have been lucky, so he had this strength, but now that he has met me, his luck has run out.

"Before noon, I want to drink wine with the skull of this evil villain, do you understand?" Gu Liangxiu set a time limit again.

Upon hearing this, the professional wanted to ask Gu Liangxiu for more time and ask if they could wait until the evening.

But when he looked up, he saw Gu Liangxiu's indifferent eyes, which made him shudder.

Discuss with the noble royal family? I am tired of living.

"Yes, sir, I will make you drink and have fun with the evil villain's skull before noon!" He expressed his loyalty at the first opportunity.

Although he was stronger than Gu Liangxiu, if the king wanted his subjects to die, they had to die. If the other party said one word, he had to commit suicide.

"Kneel down and pay your respects." Gu Liangxiu waved his hand.

When the professional heard this, he naturally knelt down and left immediately. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it if he stayed any longer.

The royal family members are all capricious... No, it should be said that the power of heaven is unpredictable. Anyone who has tried to guess their inner thoughts has died because of over-confidence.

So smart people will just follow orders instead of asking why or guessing whether they can win.

"What a bunch of trash, they can't even deal with a peasant, they might as well die." Gu Liangxiu couldn't help but curse after the professional left.

As for what would her Oak City look like without the Lower Town and the Central Town? That was not something she should consider. What she should consider was how to make up for her losses next.

You have to know that this time, with the 30,000 people she and her sister have, that means she will have to spend 130,000 people as sacrifices for her mother.

Quantity is not a problem. She doesn't care how many people die in Licheng. In her eyes, if there are not enough peasants, just use civilians. It's all the same anyway.

However, without these 130,000 people, what should I do if I want to advance in the future?
There were not enough sacrifices, which made her feel uneasy. After all, she had to appease the demon. Otherwise, the demon would be dissatisfied and she would not be able to live well.

"These insects, don't they know how to give birth to more people? They make me so troubled, huh." She snorted coldly. There was really no good solution.

Even in this lifetime, it is impossible to do so. Ten months of pregnancy is just the beginning. The baby must be raised to adulthood before it can be used as a sacrifice.

It takes way too long.

"If it doesn't work, I can only wait until the next time to go to my mother." Gu Liangxiu's expression eased a lot. She and her mother didn't have much affection to speak of, but more of a vested interest.

The two sides exchanged interests. She provided herself with a sufficient shelter, while she provided her with the necessary resources for advancement.

Gu Liangxiu's family was rather special in that only her mother was of a relatively high rank, while other family members were not of very high rank.

For example, Gu Lianglian is only at level six.

This is naturally because all resources were tilted towards her mother.

Ever since the empress came to power, women have been superior to men in the royal family, and all the people in charge are women.

Of course, women’s abilities are not much different from men’s, and they are still capable of carrying the banner. It’s just that the environment of the Dali Dynasty is difficult to describe.

"I will wait until my mother advances successfully and then go find her. I don't think she will refuse me." Gu Liangxiu was actually unsure.

Class exists not only in the Daliang Dynasty, but also in families. There are many cases of legitimate daughters selling out illegitimate daughters and mistresses controlling life and death in the family. When she had not yet separated from the family, her mother could take her life with just one word.

Although the control is not so severe nowadays, she is still restricted by her mother.

In front of her mother, she was actually like a dog, and her life and death were not in her own hands.

...

"My sister is so useless. Haha." Gu Lianglian said with disdain.

At this time, she was on her way back. She had achieved her goal and watched a good show. There was no point in staying any longer.

She knew what would happen next without even thinking about it. It was nothing more than the capture of the treacherous villain and his execution.

How could a peasant like this dare to resist the arrest warrant issued by a member of the royal family himself? He could only surrender obediently.

"The wealthy families in the Lower City were all killed, and so were the noble families in the Central City. Even if I wanted to hide it for you, I couldn't."

Gu Lianglian's eyes rolled around, and her mind flashed with how to maximize the benefits of the information she had learned.

For example, if she spread the news and let the empress, who was in power, know about it, she could get rid of her sister with the help of the empress, and then she would be able to ascend to the throne naturally.

Family affection? What kind of family affection can there be?

As for the fact that he had previously given me 10,000 yuan as a gift and used another 20,000 yuan as hush money.

The latter was what she deserved, and the former was just a favor. If Gu Liangxiu had no favor in her eyes, how could he give it to her so readily? This was part of the exchange of interests.

Without this sister who is in the way, I can get more resources in the family.

What? Open up new channels externally instead of fighting internally for a fixed share?

Opening up new channels is not an easy task and there are risks, but competing for a fixed share is less risky and you don’t have to worry about it yourself.

If there was no opportunity, Gu Lianglian would naturally take what she should take quietly. Now that she has the opportunity and doesn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity?

She even wanted to replace her mother if she had the chance.

Of course, this is quite difficult, after all, her mother also has to face the same pressure and competition.

"Everyone in Licheng, from top to bottom, is a bunch of trash." Gu Lianglian cursed again, and felt relaxed all over.

Before the family was divided, he was heavily oppressed by his elder sister. Although his mother was the real controller of the family, Gu Liangxiu, as the elder sister, had a higher status than her and naturally obtained corresponding rights.

Now that she has such a rare opportunity to take advantage of someone's misfortune, if she doesn't retaliate, then she is still a human being.

Unfortunately, Gu Liangxiu was also a member of the royal family. As long as he did not rebel, no matter how many mistakes he made, he would at most be sent to the clan house and would not die.

As for the crime? How could the royal family be guilty? No matter how wrong they were, they were right to the non-royal family members.

Unless someone caused a big uproar like Gu Liangxiu and aroused dissatisfaction among other royal relatives, it would be considered a mistake and he would be punished by being sent to the clan house.

However, once you enter the clan house, your rights will only be stripped away during that period, and you will be released again when your time is up.

Gu Lianglian didn't care at all about Gu Liangxiu coming out of the clan house. Even if she came out at that time, she would have to start all over again. And because she had obtained her sister's share, she had already soared to fame, and the other party would not be able to catch up with her no matter what.

"If I hadn't been busy, I'd like to see my sister embarrass herself a few more times. Hahaha." Gu Lianglian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The more this peasant makes a bigger fuss, the more embarrassed he will be.

For the royal family, all they care about is face and interests, and the two are even closely linked.
