When the old man saw Zhao Rui suddenly getting angry, not only did he not restrain himself at all, but he became even more arrogant and domineering.
Seeing this, Zhao Rui suddenly drew out the sword on his waist and pointed the tip of the sword firmly at the old man's eyes.
"The person I hate the most in my life is the person who relies on his old age and sells off his old age. If you are sensible, I advise you not to go against me. Otherwise, you will have to figure it out yourself!"
As soon as Zhao Rui finished speaking, Xu Shengfeng saw Zhao Rui swipe the long sword in his hand hard, and heard a clear "swish" sound, and a strand of long hair on the old man's head fell to the ground.
The old man's expression changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground, holding up the long hair that fell on the ground with both hands.
"Zhao...King Zhao, I originally thought you were a benevolent and righteous king, but you turned out to be so cruel. My parents have hurt my body and hair. Today you cut off my long hair indiscriminately. It is really unfair."
!”
The old man was arrogant and domineering a moment ago, but now his appearance has changed.
Zhao Rui made a "hum" sound, slowly sat in front of the old man, and said in a deep voice: "It's unfair if it's not fair. How can you blame me?"
"I have made it very clear. If you rely on your old age and neglect your old age, your life and death will not be up to you."
Everyone who was walking with the old man heard Zhao Rui's words clearly, and no one dared to make a mistake at that moment.
Zhao Rui saw the old man reaching out and stroking the broken hair again and again, with tears shining in his eyes.
Zhao Rui took a deep breath, turned to look at Xu Shengfeng and said: "Soon, this water village will become a solid water city. At that time, I, Dashang, will be one step closer to the eternal hegemony."
When Xu Shengfeng heard this, he was overjoyed. He clapped his palms and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, King Zhao. I, the great merchant, will rule the world for generations to come!"
Zhao Rui turned around, pointed at the dozen or so people in front of him, and said softly: "Although they are the most prestigious people in the local area, they are no different from ordinary people in front of me."
"We, the great merchant, have our own national laws here. How can I not kneel down when I meet His Highness the Prince?"
Xu Shengfeng's expression suddenly changed, he walked quickly in front of everyone, folded his fists and said urgently: "This is His Highness King Zhao of our Dashang. He has been fighting in all directions for many years. It can be said that half of our Dashang relies on His Highness."
"You must not kneel before His Highness. This is your duty as citizens and you must abide by it!"
The dozen or so people looked at each other in confusion. You looked at me, I looked at you. Everyone was very impressed with Dashang, and they all admired Dashang's Prince Zhao from the bottom of their hearts.
Now that the senior officials of Dashang have said this, they have no choice but to choose to submit.
For a moment, everyone was kneeling on the ground, Zhao Rui enjoying the pleasure that power brought to him.
I raised my head and looked up at the sky, only to see the sun shining brightly.
He took a deep breath and said decisively: "The plan is about to be accelerated. Although Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty was stunned by us, the elite soldiers and generals of the Mauryan Dynasty should not be underestimated."
"Xu Shengfeng, now that we have these right-hand men at our disposal, in your opinion, how long will it take to complete the project?"
The heavy burden on Xu Shengfeng's shoulders was full of pressure. He frowned and thought for a long time, then blurted out: "The fifteenth should be almost there."
Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "Fifteen days is too long."
The dozen or so people kneeling on the ground felt tense when they heard what Zhao Rui said.
Before Xu Shengfeng could speak, Zhao Rui said: "Seven days, how about it?"
