With a nervous mood, Zeng Ziyun walked into the big brick and wood house in front of him, which was the council hall in the mouth of those bandits.

At the entrance of the council hall, there were more than a dozen guards with spears standing in two rows on the left and right, and these guards looked to be only half the size, and the spears in their hands were taller than them.

However, although these guards looked young, they stood like pines, and their expressions were resolute, as if they were iron pillars towering in the doorway, not moving.

When those young bandits passed in front of them with Zeng Ziyun, those young guards didn't even look at them, as if they didn't exist, let alone tilt their heads, and they didn't even roll their eyes.

Seeing these young guards, Zeng Ziyun was a little surprised, although he was not very old and had no experience in war, he was defeated and taken prisoner the first time he went to the battlefield, but it did not mean that he had no vision.

He could see at a glance that these young guards must have been trained for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to do this at all.

Don't look at the simple formation, let alone look at them just just motionless, but that's it, that's not something ordinary people can do.

For example, the young bandits who brought him over were not as good as these half-sized guards, although these young bandits looked tall and fierce, but Zeng Ziyun knew that these bandits with knives were just bandits, not only with a casual demeanor, but also crooked and crooked walking, hunched over, there was a bit of a soldier there.

Not to mention these young bandits, even the soldiers under his command who once led them were very few who could stand like a pine like these young guards in front of him, and treat people as nothing.

These young people are strangely tight.

With surprise, Zeng Ziyun stepped into the door of the council hall, and after entering, the first thing he saw was a young man sitting on the top, wearing a yellow dragon robe.

He had already met this person once three days ago, and it was the puppet Tang Emperor Li Xuan that Su Jiakang had never forgotten and wanted to catch.

At this time, the young puppet emperor on the other side seemed to be looking at him as well, and he was staring at him all the time.

At this time, Zeng Ziyun suddenly heard a loud shout: "Bold fanatics, don't kneel down quickly and knock on my emperor!" ”

Zeng Ziyun turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with a goatee, with a dissatisfied expression.

He also saw this person three days ago, this is the puppet Tang Prime Minister Liu Bagou, like the puppet emperor Li Xuan, he is also famous in the surrounding prefectures and counties, and there are his big thieves everywhere who catch and take notices.

After hearing Liu Bagou's words, Zeng Ziyun was still motionless, without the slightest intention of kneeling.

Although he surrendered, although he became a prisoner, he was still the Ming Dynasty's Zhengwupin Qianhu, the official of the imperial court, he has his own pride, and this pride makes him never bow to a thief.

Even when he was defeated and surrendered in Luohu Valley three days ago, all the people around him, including those pro-soldiers, knelt down, but he didn't kneel!

The man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel?

Absolutely not!

So at that time, he stubbornly and persistently lay on the ground, and did not get up and kneel until the last moment!

Today, he still insists on his ideas and never kneels!

Even if Liu Bagou looked at him with sharp eyes, even if the bandits around him who escorted him over glared at him, he was still unmoved.

He has his own pride, and this pride is not something that can be broken by a group of thieves casually, unless- someone puts a knife on his neck!

He raised his head with a haughty expression, a look of disdain!

At this moment, a bandit beside him pulled out half of the waist knife in his hand, and then snorted coldly, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious, if you don't kneel, the knife will be directly on your neck.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Ziyun showed a sad and indignant look on his face, and then his knees just couldn't control and knelt down.

At the same time, I silently thought in my heart, my pride is still there, and if it were not for the knife on my neck, I would never kneel down to a thief.

Looking at Zeng Ziyun below, who had a rich facial expression, Li Xuan felt a little strange, how to say this, he felt like a villain who was persecuting a woman from a good family with strong means.

When did he become such a ghost and become a villain!

Do you say you've done something wrong?

Definitely not!

This is all Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan's fault, if it weren't for them bastards, how could he become this nondescript emperor, if he wasn't for this bandit emperor, how could he become like this.

Bastard, sooner or later I'm going to cut you all down!

After a burst of chaotic thoughts flashed in his heart, Li Xuan saw that Liu Bagou was about to say something again, and he knew without guessing that what Liu Bagou was about to say was definitely not a good thing, it was nothing more than forcing Zeng Ziyun to say something against his will, such as long live the emperor and so on.

Li Xuan immediately pressed his hand and signaled Liu Bagou not to talk nonsense, to be your prime minister, and not to mess around all day long.

Then he spoke: "Zeng Qianhu, how are you doing these days?" ”

Hearing Li Xuan speak, Zeng Ziyun looked up at this puppet emperor Li Xuan again, and found that this young puppet emperor was much kinder than Liu Bagou and them, especially the bandits with knives behind him, and he was originally determined not to speak.

But at this time, he changed his mind, and immediately said: "Hmph, this official can't die yet!" ”

After saying this, he seemed to have found his self-confidence as an official of the imperial court again, although he was still kneeling, but he continued in his mouth: "You are so bold that you dare to rebel and commit such a great crime of rebellion, are you not afraid of being killed by the court and robbing your family, and even the nine clans?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and in the midst of the laughter, Bai Yunqi stepped forward and snorted coldly: "My wife, children, parents, more than 300 people in Lijia Village all died tragically at the hands of the Ming army, and now you tell me about the nine clans of Zhulian, haha, I still have people from the clan for you Zhulian?" ”

Zeng Ziyun said: "You and others committed the crime of rebellion, and you deserve it!" ”

As soon as Zeng Ziyun's words were finished, the bandit who was watching him from the side stepped forward directly, and even pulled out the knife and put it directly on Zeng Ziyun's neck: "You say it again, who deserves it?" Before Lao Tzu entered the mountain, his parents starved to death, and his only younger brother later died at the hands of your officers and soldiers. ”

Hearing this, especially the slightest coolness of the steel knife on his neck, Zeng Ziyun suddenly lost the proud look just now, and hurriedly lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing that several people in the audience were emotional, Li Xuan said directly: "All step down!" ”

When the bandit heard Li Xuan speak, he put away his knife and then retreated, muttering something in his mouth.

This will Li Xuan said: "Zeng Qianhu, I see that you are also an understanding person, and you should understand your own situation, so I won't say much, let you come over today, I just want to ask you a word!" ”

Zeng Ziyun is now smart, and he didn't refute it directly, and then scolded any thief or something, but said, "What words?" ”

At this time, Li Xuan nodded slightly towards Liu Bagou, and then Liu Bagou on the side said: "My emperor cherishes your talents, and I don't want you to be dusty, as long as you are willing to submit to my Tang Dynasty and serve my emperor, the princes and princes can give it!"
