Listening to the increasingly excessive roars, Fang Jie and other confidants became furious.

"Your Majesty, give the order!"

"Let these rebellious bastards be executed by your humble position to show that the majesty of the emperor is inviolable!'

"That's right!"

"Kill them and sacrifice them to the flag to serve as a warning to others!"

Hearing this, Wang Changzhi and other twenty-two representatives, as well as twenty-two dignitaries from aristocratic families, were so frightened that they froze up and turned pale.

Do they really dare...

Although Zhou Jian had strong murderous intentions, he still suppressed his impulse and shook his head: "We can't kill them yet, we can keep them useful."

Hearing this, the twenty-two people breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone's face immediately showed arrogance again, saying: "Huh, if you don't dare, you just don't dare!"

"Your Majesty, I advise you to take care of yourself!"

"Return to the shore!"

"Shut up!" Fang Jie roared angrily, punching the speaker in the eye.

Immediately blood splattered, and people screamed: "Ah!"

Zhou Jian's cold eyes swept over everyone.

"Ah!"

"I just think you are of some use. You can at least be ranked among the top three in your respective families, right? It's not bad to keep them as hostages."

"Of course, I'm not keeping you here to provide you with more than a hundred kinds of torture during the Great Week. You can taste it slowly!"

The pupils of the twenty-two people trembled, and the hairs on their backs stood up when Zhou Jian looked at them.

Immediately he realized Zhou Jian's intention, I'm afraid it wasn't just a hostage.

They all looked anxiously and shouted like mad dogs: "Emperor, don't even think about it!!"

"Don't expect us to cooperate with you!"

"There are no doors, and people from my family will never compromise!"

"ah!!"

"rat!"

"..."

Zhou Jian wanted to step forward in person and teach these dogs a lesson, but suddenly he felt dizzy and the pain in his chest was unbearable, and he almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Thirteenth Niang had quick eyesight and quick hands, so she gave her a hand.

"His Majesty!"

Zhou Jian shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong. His face gradually turned pale, but he endured it.

Right now.

Sudden changes occur.

boom!

A special firecracker was launched into the sky outside Tiance Hall and exploded suddenly!

It can be seen at least one mile outside the city.

The movement quickly attracted the attention of Qingtian Guard.

Zhou Jian looked outside, frowned and squinted, secretly saying something bad.

Then, the imperial guards quickly dragged in a person, it was Wu Zicai who had been beaten to a bloody head.

"Your Majesty, this is not good!"

"This thief just pretended to be dead and was unconscious. He secretly fired a flare while I was not paying attention!"

"I don't know what you want!"

"What?" The faces of everyone in the court changed. Everyone knew what the signal flare was used for.

Could it be...

A bad premonition quickly enveloped Tiance Hall.

Wu Zicai heard the commotion in the palace and knew that this was the best time to add the last spark of fire, turning the negotiation into a "Central Plains War"!

At this moment, he laughed ferociously with disheveled hair: "Hahaha!"

"Emperor, you dare to insult my major families, restrict my family's representatives, and ruin negotiations!"

"Just wait!"

"If you dare not let us leave today, 150,000 Xizhou cavalry will come to the city and crush the Tongzhou city gate!"

"Everyone, don't be afraid!"

"Master Zhuge, come to save us!"

"Emperor, tremble under the iron heel of our family alliance! Hahaha..." He laughed wildly, fanning the flames and pushing the atmosphere further.

Hearing this, the expressions of many representatives of aristocratic families changed.

Although they have reached this point, their greater tendency is to exert pressure and solve problems through other means, such as grain and grass resources.

Instead of war, war is a path that many aristocratic families are unwilling to take because there is no turning back.

But now, they have no choice but to board the pirate ship and drink loudly.

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty, will you let us go?"

"Think about the consequences!"

"..."
