After Jiao Rui heard Zhu Gui's words, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"I say, young prince, I really admire you for having the courage to appear here, but you seem to have forgotten that this is the general's territory now. You should first consider your attitude when talking to me.
, someone comes and takes them all down."
Jiao Rui waved his hand, and the rebels from all directions immediately rushed forward.
"Who dares?"
Gongsun Ming stood in front of Zhu Gui and scolded the people around him.
These rebels don't care what his identity is. They are not even afraid of the prince, so will they be afraid of anyone else?
But Jiao Rui waved his hand and made the rebels stop.
Jiao Rui has already recognized that the person in front of him is Gongsun Ming, the legitimate son of the Gongsun family, the largest family in Taiyuan City. He can be said to be the candidate for the next patriarch of the Gongsun family.
Although all the major families in Taiyuan City have been bloodbathed by the rebels, Jiao Rui knows that none of these wealthy families are extremely wealthy. Although they can steal some of them, more of the wealth of these wealthy families is probably hidden among them.
Unable to find the place.
But if Gongsun Ming is used to intimidate the Gongsun family, he is still very likely to take the Gongsun family's huge wealth as his own, which will greatly enrich the rebels' military pay. In a certain way, Gongsun
The value of Ming is no less than that of the king and prince present.
So Jiao Rui looked at Gongsun Ming with a smile on his face and said, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Gongsun? It turns out you are here too. I am disrespectful. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
Gongsun Ming pointed at Jiao Rui and said: "You guy, stop pretending. You dare to take action against the king and the prince. Do you really think you are superior to the inferior? I know your intention, as long as you can let go
I am willing to give all the wealth of the Gongsun family to others."
His words not only surprised Jiao Rui, but also Zhu Gui, Xu Miaoqing, Princess Jin and Zhu Jixi who were present all looked at him in surprise.
However, none of them spoke, but Jiao Rui said: "I didn't expect Master Gongsun to be so sensible, so I won't beat around the bush anymore."
"It is absolutely impossible for the Dai Wang and the Crown Prince to leave. I can let the others leave. However, as a hostage, it is best for Gongsun Gongsun to stay with me until the matter is accomplished. How about that?"
Jiao Rui asked with a proud look on his face.
Gongsun Ming looked at Zhu Gui who was standing aside and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates can only do this. Why don't we let the two princesses leave first?"
Zhu Gui patted Gongsun Ming on the shoulder, but shook his head and said: "I already know your thoughts, but you still don't think about this matter too easily. The entire Taiyuan City is full of rebels, even if they leave
It doesn't mean they are safe after entering Prince Jin's Mansion. Can he allow them to leave Taiyuan City?"
Only then did Gongsun Ming react. He looked at Jiao Rui. Before he could speak, Jiao Rui said directly: "That is absolutely impossible. What if I open the city gate and those rebels rush in during the chaos?
"
Although everyone present knew that Jiao Rui was the rebel, he still insisted that he was the righteous party.
Gongsun Ming smiled bitterly and was about to say something else when he heard Zhu Gui say: "You don't have to worry or blame yourself. Since I am willing to show up here, I am naturally fully prepared."
A gleam flashed in Gongsun Ming's eyes, and he immediately nodded and retreated behind Zhu Gui.
He has seen Zhu Gui's ability before, so he will naturally have no doubts. Moreover, his purpose of showing loyalty this time has been achieved.
On the opposite side, Jiao Rui had a mocking look on his face when he heard Zhu Gui's words, "Be fully prepared."
"My young prince, please stop being brave. If your father, Zhu Yuanzhang, comes in person, I might still be a little wary. But you, a young kid like you, still want to show off in front of me?"
"How dare you talk to the prince like this? I'll see if I don't kill you."
Xu Miaoqing, who had been standing next to Zhu Gui without saying a word, finally couldn't sit still after hearing what Jiao Rui said. She took out her pistol and pointed it at Jiao Rui.
But before she could pull the trigger, Zhu Gui held her arm.
"Wait a minute, we can't kill him yet, otherwise the rebels will be in chaos, and the situation will only be more difficult to deal with."
Zhu Gui said calmly, as if he didn't hear what Jiao Rui said.
"Okay, I support the prince, but prince, you have to hurry up, I really can't stand listening to so much of his nonsense."
Xu Miaoqing frowned and said.
Zhu Gui nodded, then glanced around, and then there was a divine cannon at hand.
Xu Miaoqing and Gongsun Ming were already used to this, but Princess Jin on the side frowned, and the crown prince Zhu Jixi's eyes widened.
On the opposite side, Jiao Rui looked in disbelief and even rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled.
This can't be blamed on him. Anyone who sees this kind of scene for the first time will be surprised. You must know that the barrel of the Shenwu cannon is half a meter thick and two meters long. It is impossible to hide it on a person. But it
It literally appeared out of nowhere.
Although the surrounding rebels were also surprised, they did not feel any fear, not only because there were so many people on their side, but also because they had never seen real artillery.
Although Jiao Rui has seen the scene of artillery siege, he does not think that the thing in front of him can change the current situation. Although artillery poses a great threat to the city, in such close combat, the effect is still very limited.
, not to mention that it is likely to lead to a situation where both jade and stone will be destroyed.
"My young prince, you did scare me. I didn't expect you to even carry the artillery with you. But do you want to die with me? I advise you to be more sensible. If we cooperate, that is
It’s a win-win situation, why bother doing it like this..."
Before Jiao Rui finished speaking, he heard a loud noise.
As expected, Zhu Gui didn't give Jiao Rui another chance to talk nonsense and directly ignited the fuse of the Shenwu cannon.
A cannonball flew over Jiao Rui's head.
Jiao Rui was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, but he quickly realized that the opponent had missed the target.
He was about to laugh at the other party, but he saw the men around him looking behind him.
Jiao Rui also looked back and saw that the wall connecting the courtyard to the outside had been blown down, and rubble directly blocked the door.
Jiao Rui immediately realized that Zhu Gui wanted to cut off his contact with the rebels outside.
But Jiao Rui was just stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "My dear prince, do you really think it's useful? The palace wall of this palace is not very high. Do you think it can really stop my general's men?"
