"Brother Qi, how did you discover them?" Seeing these people appear from outside the courtyard wall, no wonder he couldn't see them before. But Shen Ao was even more curious, how did Ao Qi discover them?
"I'm confused." Unexpectedly, Ao Qi gave the answer, and it turned out to be this answer. He just felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he yelled. If Cheng Shan hadn't taken action first, and these people would have jumped out on their own initiative. , he couldn't find it either.
This is Ao Qi's rich experience in the world of martial arts. A soldier never tires of deceit, that's what they say.
"Awesome." In any case, Shen Ao gave Ao Qi a thumbs up. Regardless of the process, at least the result was correct. He discovered his opponent one step ahead and was prepared to deal with it.
Shen Ao is still praising Ao Qi, but Ao Qi already has a look of mourning on his face. There are fifty killers in this courtyard, and it seems that they all have good strength, among them there are many dark power masters, and there are three A master of Minghua Jin, if it is one-on-one, he will naturally not be afraid of anyone, but if it is one-on-one, and he has to protect the safety of the young master, he has no confidence in his heart.
"Young Master, they will be entangled in a while. You can find an opportunity to leave as soon as possible." Ao Qi's eyes kept scanning the assassins, trying his best to find the loopholes in the encirclement, thinking about how to break out of the bloody way. go out.
"Let's go together and let's kill each other." Shen Ao shook his head indifferently. He couldn't do such a thing and abandon his brother, and he didn't think he could escape. To attack him, Tang Yi must have planned everything a long time ago. Thinking about it now, Xue Fei's departure was probably part of their plan, but it was a pity that he was too careless or believed in Tang Yi too much. As for being in danger now.
"What? Do you two still want to struggle? As the saying goes, swords have no eyes, so why not just capture them without restraint, so that someone can guarantee your personal safety?" Xiu Zhe saw that the plan was completed, and he was completely relieved at this moment. , when he spoke, his tone was full of confidence.
"Mr. Xiu, I didn't expect that we would meet here again. But I don't know what the meaning of this formation today is?" Shen Ao had long recognized Xiu Zhe, and the two had met when he went to Liaozhou. He also knew that this person was the first aide under King Zhong and was famous for his tricks. Unexpectedly, it was the first time he saw the other party's tactics targeting him. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should say he was honored? Or just really bad luck.
"Mr. Zhongguo, we are all smart people, so why pretend to be confused. My great king must take a fancy to Duke Zhongguo's ability. Today's emperor is unethical and has caused all the princes in the world to stand up. Why doesn't Duke Zhong act in accordance with nature? I can guarantee that as long as Duke Zhongguo is willing to come, he will be reused, and his future achievements will definitely not be limited to just one duke. When the time comes, wouldn't it be better for you to carry forward the style of the Shen family and honor our ancestors?"
Xiu Zhe is indeed the number one adviser favored by King Zhong, and his ability to incite is unmatched by ordinary people. According to what he said, it seems that Shen Ao has taken the right path only by surrendering to King Zhong. Otherwise, he may have no way out. generally.
"Hehe, hehehe." Shen Ao waited until Xiu Zhe finished his words and burst into laughter.
Such wild laughter reached Xiu Zhe's ears, which made him look unhappy, "Lord Zhongguo, why are you laughing?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Xiu, I'm laughing at your overestimation of your capabilities, and I'm laughing at your arrogance. You're just an aide to a vassal king, and you dare to talk about the current emperor, and even talk about world affairs. I don't know who gave you the courage. It's really like a toad yawning - such a loud tone." When Shen Ao said the last word, a stern look flashed in his eyes. "This is the capital of the Daqian Kingdom. If you wait to take action here, aren't you afraid of being surrounded by officers and soldiers? , can’t you get out of this Daliang City in the end?”
Shen Ao said these words to the fifty dead soldiers, intending to break the will of these people.
However, even if they are dead soldiers and people who are not even afraid of death, how can they be shaken by Shen Ao's few words. They are still staring at Shen Ao intently. They will not hesitate to give an order. He looked hesitant to take action.
The dead man couldn't say anything, so Shen Ao turned his eyes to Tang Yi, who had been sitting there without turning around until now. "Brother Yi, why don't you turn around? Could it be that what happened today was also your intention? "
Shen Ao was questioning and delaying time. If he waited here for a moment longer, it would be one more moment before Xue Fei showed up. Although under such circumstances, there was no guarantee that Xue Fei would be able to solve the problem when she came, but at least she If you come here, you will have more chances of winning, right?
What's more important is that Xiaobai in the sky has figured out everything and should take action.
Tang Yi's figure trembled slightly, and Tang Yi, who had been silent for a long time, finally turned around. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other, but soon Tang Yi's eyes turned to other places. It was obvious that he had no confidence at this moment. Looking at Shen Ao.
"Brother Yi, I really can't believe that I trust you so much, and you actually use this trust to harm me. Fortunately, I thought Brother Yi was a man before, but now it seems that I was wrong after all." Shen Ao said with emotion. As he spoke, each word was like a sword piercing Tang Yi's body.
Tang Yi was speechless. As Shen Ao said, if trust hadn't come first, how could he have appeared in front of him with only one guard?
Thinking that his ability to stand up was all due to others, Tang Yi, who did not take any account of emotion or reason, could not even say a word except for lowering his head.
"Okay, Duke Zhongguo, my eldest son, Your Highness, is benevolent and righteous, and is not willing to share the same knowledge and rhetoric with people like you. It's better not to waste time now. It's better to tell you your decision, whether to surrender or not. ." Xiu Zhe saw that Shen Ao was changing the subject and delaying time, and how could he let the other party succeed? He immediately spoke like a question.
"Oh? So what if you surrender? So what if you don't surrender?" Tang Yi didn't say anything. Shen Ao knew that it was useless to say anything to him, so he simply looked at Xiuzhe. He wanted to see what the other party wanted.
Shen Ao has never been a generous person who can tolerate the world. On the contrary, he is a person who must retaliate for his flaws. Any shackles others want to impose on him, he will return it a hundred times. This master who pays attention to revenge without leaving a night, you If you do good to him, he will repay you a hundredfold; if you want to kill him, he will repay you a hundredfold.
In the end, Xiu Zhe didn’t know Shen Ao very well, but he knew that this person was successful at a young age, and he must be arrogant. The general method of persuasion is that it is impossible to convince the other party, and it will not work without strong medicine. In this way, his words are ruthless enough. "If you surrender, of course everything will be easy. Your Majesty will treat you as a distinguished guest, and you will not be short of glory and wealth. On the contrary, if you don't surrender, you can only kill him. Your Majesty said that if you can't If it is used for it, it cannot be used by others."
"No! That's not the case. Didn't we agree to invite Brother Ao to Liaozhou and slowly convince him?" Tang Yi, who had been silent until now, suddenly yelled like crazy, facing Xiu Zhe, A look of endless anger.
Until now, Tang Yi still feels that he is ashamed of Shen Ao. If Xiu Zhe had not told him that he would not hurt Shen Ao at all, he would not have agreed to what he did. But now, after hearing Xiu Zhe said that he actually had the intention to kill Shen Ao. How could he still stand here? He immediately stood up and started to accuse.
"Your Highness, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If you want to win, you must sacrifice." Xiu Zhe naturally would not explain too much. He knew very well that he was escorting a living loyal Duke who wanted to leave Daliang City and return to Liao. How difficult it is for the state to meet. Instead of doing this, it is better to kill people, so as to disrupt the balance of power of Zhongguo Gong and upset the hearts of those who care about him, so that he can have a chance to leave.
Xiu Zhe looked like he had not changed his original intention, and shouted to Cheng Shan, "Steward Cheng, I would like to ask you to keep an eye on the prince. As for the consequences, I will personally plead guilty after returning to Liaozhou."
"No." Cheng Shan agreed with his sword in hand, and then walked to Tang Yi's side, "Your Highness, I have offended you."
"Cheng...Uncle Cheng, do you want to betray Yu? Ha...hehe." Tang Yi jumped back to the stone bench with a plop, a look of despair on his face. He just muttered in his heart, "Brother Ao, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you."
Xiu Zhe didn't even look at Tang Yi, but looked directly at Shen Ao, who was also the biggest target of this trip. He waved to the dead soldiers and said, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you take action yet?"
"Young Master, step back." Ao Qi was staring ahead with all his attention at this time, holding a flower in his hand and holding the saber across his body.
"Okay, be careful." Shen Ao agreed, and turned around with Ao Qi's back to rely on each other. After completing this action, a sharp chirping sound came from his mouth, and along with this At the sound of the sound, Xiaobai, who was hovering in the sky watching all this, quickly flapped his wings and flew away into the distance.
The news was spread, and Shen Ao breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was hope. As long as he waited enough time, reinforcements would arrive, and perhaps the situation would be reversed.
This move was caught by Xiu Zhe's eyes. It was only then that he discovered that there was a bird hovering in the sky above Prince Zhong's Mansion. Although he didn't know what Shen Ao had done, the big bird had already left, but his intuition Telling him that this is not a good thing, he immediately pointed at Shen Ao and said: "Don't waste time, come together, kill them, don't live."
The words "Don't live alive" showed that Xiu Zhe was determined to kill Shen Ao.
