"How dare you." Ao Wu and Ao Liu no longer looked as calm as before, they shouted anxiously.
After they appeared just now, they deliberately didn't say hello to Shen Ao, just to let everyone ignore their relationship. However, they didn't expect that someone would notice it and hit their Achilles' heel, using Shen Ao. Threatening them is what they fear most.
Ao Wu and Ao Liu appeared here, naturally under the orders of their master Aoxue. After learning that the Jin army had launched an attack on Daqian, Aoxue was worried that if the war broke out, his son's safety would not be guaranteed. He ordered the two men to rush to Daliang City at night to strengthen the protective force around Shen Ao.
Aoxue's order is, if nothing happens to Shen Ao, nothing will happen to everyone. If something happens to Shen Ao, you don't have to live anymore.
The Eighteen Cavaliers of Snow Shadow are all orphans adopted by Aoxue. They were all brought up by her. The martial arts she taught and the figure of a father and mother have long been ingrained in the hearts of the Eighteen Cavaliers. Even if they were ordered to die, there would not be the slightest resistance or complaint.
Not to mention, protecting the young master is a matter of course. Whether Ao Wu or Ao Liu, they are all proud of this task.
Now seeing that someone is threatening the young master's life and safety, how can they not be anxious? How dare they not agree to what conditions they have?
Ao Wu and Ao Liu's panic caught Xiu Zhe's eyes, and he immediately felt reassured. What he was afraid of was that he didn't have enough chips in his hands, and would be limited to passivity. If the other party was nervous, the initiative would be lost. fell into his hands.
"Why don't you dare? It's just a matter of one life for another." Xiu Zhe shouted loudly, while paying attention to the changes in the attitudes of Ao Wu and Ao Liu.
"Okay, one life for another. I want to see how you will explain to King Zhong when the prince dies. Oh, King Zhong should only have one heir. Are you trying to make King Zhong You are the best." Shen Ao quickly counterattacked. Don't think that as long as Xiu Zhe is smart, Shen Ao has nothing to fear from anyone in terms of IQ.
After shouting, Shen Ao also shouted to Ao Wu: "Brother, please tie up the loyal prince. This rope is too uncomfortable to be tied to the body. We can't suffer. It doesn't make sense for them to be so free." ah."
Shen Ao made the request, and of course Ao Wu would comply. He agreed, and then took out a binding rope from his body. Such a thing is also a must-have when traveling in the world.
"No, don't tie up the prince, we will untie you." Butler Cheng Shan said with a look of urgency. He had watched Tang Yi grow up since he was a child, and he had long regarded him as his nephew. Naturally, he I won't watch Tang Yi suffer.
But Cheng Shan is not stupid either. He only said that he could untie Shen Ao, but he did not say that he would untie Ao Qi. He also knew that this man had a strong fighting ability and was afraid of causing trouble.
After a battle of wits and threats, Shen Ao was able to loosen his bonds, but in Xiuzhe's eyes, he had no choice. The prince must not have anything bad happen to him, otherwise, what if he killed Shen Ao?
Although Shen Ao, who was freed, still had a long knife on his neck, his expression seemed much more relaxed. Not only him, but also Ao Qi, who was bound next to him, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He knew that his young master With his strength, if he had to work hard, even he would have a headache.
Shen Ao never showed his strength, and this move finally worked. He did not choose to attack immediately after loosening the restraints, in order to continue to paralyze the opponent. What he needed was a chance for one strike to be effective. He must save Xia Ao Qi.
"Okay, I feel a lot more comfortable now, and now it's time to have a good talk. Let's do this. Both of us are more sincere. You let me go first, and we will let the prince go first. How about that?" Shen Ao asked. After making the request, without waiting for Cheng Shan and the others to agree or not, he leaned towards Ao Qi and said as he walked, "Brother Qi, I'm going to make things difficult for you this time. You stay here for a while and we'll talk later." I can definitely put you back after that."
Shen Ao walked up to Ao Qi, said apologetically, and reached out to straighten the other party's clothes. Everything seemed so reasonable and reasonable that no one else was wary, they just thought it was Lord Zhongguo. Just explaining things.
That's it!
Feeling that the others had lowered their guard a lot, and being so close to Ao Qi, Shen Ao knew that he could take action. The body that was standing suddenly bent over, and the long knife on his neck was He stepped aside, and then kicked out suddenly. A dead soldier who was very close to him felt his chest being pressed like a huge boulder. The pain made him cover his chest like a conditioned reflex, as if Only by doing this will you feel more comfortable.
The dead soldier covered his chest with both hands, and the strength in his arms was weakened. Shen Ao took the opportunity to take a half step forward and struck out with a chop, hitting the opponent's wrist. Then a sword transformed into his hand and fell into his hand.
After holding the weapon in his hand, Shen Ao shouted, "Brother Qi, turn around."
Ao Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, turned around in cooperation, and then slashed down with the blade. While flashing past at a very fast speed, he cut off the long ropes that bound him one by one, and Ao Qi regained his freedom.
"You dare!"
Cheng Shan finally reacted and rushed towards Shen Ao with a loud shout.
Shen Ao had such neat skills, which greatly exceeded Cheng Shan's expectations. He had never expected this. Thinking of using this person to exchange for the prince's life, he would never allow Shen Ao to escape. , otherwise, he will die without redemption.
Cheng Shan rushed over, and the blade of the knife was forced towards Shen Ao. Whether it would hurt Shen Ao was no longer a question he should think about. What he had to consider now was how to keep Shen Ao and go. Exchange princes.
"Well done!"
Facing the charging Cheng Shan, Shen Ao didn't show the slightest fear on his face. Everyone was in the early stage of Huajin cultivation, but he was still a person with dual veins, and he had learned the most powerful innate skills in the martial arts. In addition, he took action suddenly and got the upper hand, so how could he be afraid of Cheng Shan's threat?
He was not intimidated, but instead retreated to advance. The sword in Shen Ao's hand slashed forward with wide open and wide movements. Wherever the blade landed, it greeted Cheng Shan's chest. It jingled, clang, clank, Several consecutive hits forced Cheng Shan to resist and was unable to attack.
The restraints on Ao Qi's body were gone, and he kicked to the side, hitting a dead soldier on the wrist. The sword flew up, and he took it in his hand with a leap.
With the sword in hand, I have the world!
After Ao Qi rested for a while, his physical strength was much stronger. When he started to use his hands, he quickly chopped down the two dead soldiers and jumped to Shen Ao's side. The two of them attacked Cheng Shan together.
Cheng Shan felt powerless to deal with Shen Ao. He even had a feeling that Shen Ao didn't mean to kill him, but just wanted to delay here. Otherwise, he might not die now. He's going to be seriously injured.
Now that Ao Qi was added to the mix, he had no choice but to retreat. He put away his sword and ran. It was not until he reunited with the dead soldiers who came behind him that Cheng Shan breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Shen Ao and Ao Qi Qi had already retreated to Ao Wu and Ao Liu.
The reason why Shen Ao could kill but did not kill was to use Cheng Shan to check and balance those dead soldiers. Otherwise, who knows what choices the dead soldiers would make without anyone controlling them? If the safety of the prince and others was ignored, If they swarmed up, the four of them would probably be surrounded.
If possible, Shen Ao would never take the lives of himself and his brothers as a joke, thus sparing Cheng Shan his life. As expected, with the butler here, the dead men quickly gathered around him, He looked like he was obeying his orders.
"Everyone, please don't be impulsive. The prince is still in the hands of evil people." Cheng Shan did not live up to Shen Ao's expectations. He immediately suppressed the intention of the dead soldiers to charge, and then looked at Shen Ao bitterly, "Zhongguo Gong, please let go now." My eldest son, is it true that our usual calling of brothers is a lie? Have you never regarded your eldest son as an eldest brother? Is this what your Lord Zhongguo calls loyalty? If this is the case, if the news spreads, I am afraid it will greatly affect your reputation. It’s a loss.”
"Ha, hahaha." These questions were replaced by Shen Ao's laughter. Especially when he noticed that Ao Qi and others around him were looking at him, the laughter became even louder. A few points.
"Is Duke Zhongguo speechless? Then let's let the crown prince go immediately. Don't worry, I can guarantee that as long as you let the crown prince go, you can leave Prince Zhong's palace safely. Everything that happens here can be treated as if it never happened. How about that? ?" Cheng Shan was a little uneasy by Shen Ao's laughter.
Just now, Shen Ao laughed like this at Xiu Zhe, and many people died. Now that he was laughing again, he instinctively felt bad.
"How? Humph! I have seen such a shameless person before, but I have never seen such a shameless one. What do you mean by saying that a certain person has no loyalty? Who attacked his brother first, and who must kill his brother and then be quick? May I ask again, Where are you now?"
After asking several questions in succession, Shen Ao already gave an explanation without waiting for Cheng Shan to answer, "It is obvious that you want to attack someone because of their cherished brotherhood. Now the situation has changed and it is not good for you." Now I want to criticize you. You are really saints, and everything you say is gold-plated. Can you just openly turn black into white? It’s really ridiculous. Cheng Shan, I’ll just tell you. , it’s best to stand there honestly, if you dare to take a step forward, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
Shen Ao meant what he said, and saw the blade flash. Xiu Zhe, who was still standing there as a theatergoer, felt a pain in his right ear. Then at some point, the right ear separated from his body and disappeared. Go and fall to the ground like blood.
