Chapter Fifty-Six: Daughters as Bargaining Chips
Thank you Xiao Ran for your generous reward again, thank you!
Liang Hong's words not only aroused Zhu Houzhao's curiosity, but everyone present was also a little puzzled.
At this time, the largest number of people was naturally the Five Poisons Sect members under Ren Yingying and Blue Phoenix, the number was about fifty, followed by the Hengshan Sect nuns led by Ling Hu Chong, the number was about forty, and the rest were the family members led by Wang Shouren, the number was only about a dozen, and the rest were Liang Hong, Lin Pingzhi, Bai Xiu'er and Xiao Yu'er. However, no matter what, these people add up, at least hundreds, and they are all good at martial arts, in terms of speaking, this is a force that should not be underestimated, and against officers and soldiers with less than 1,000 people, it should be a sure victory. It can be said that it is easy for them to kill Zhu Houzhao now, which is easier than pinching an ant to death.
However, Liang Hong proposed to make a deal with Zhu Houzhao, which is a bit strange, everyone can't think of any deal between them, could it be that Liang Hong wants to sell his friends to seek glory? At this time, most of the people didn't know about Liang Hong's previous refusal to hold an official position, so they were suspicious of him, so they immediately raised their vigilance to prevent changes.
However, what they didn't expect was that what happened next was a little surprising to them.
"What do you want to trade? I gave you an official position before, but you refused to accept it, but now you can't figure it out? Zhu Hou looked at Liang Hong and asked with a frown.
"Brother Zhu, I'm sorry, Liang has no life to enjoy the official position you gave me, and as for money, Liang is even more uninterested. Liang wants to make a deal with Brother Zhu, just to trouble Brother Zhu and ask Brother Zhu to personally take us, a hundred people, out of Beijing. When Liang Hong said this, he glanced at Ren Yingying, and found that she nodded slightly to herself, and couldn't help but increase her confidence, and then continued: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, we will never harm your life, as long as Brother Zhu escorts us out and arrives in a safe place outside the city, we will naturally let Brother Zhu go." ”
"Hahaha," Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao laughed unconsciously, and then his eyes were cold, and he glared at Liang Hong and said in a deep voice: "Liang Shanbo, you are too wild and deceitful." Do you think I'm a fool? Now you don't dare to kill me, but because you heard that the Nine Gates have been closed, and the soldiers and horses of the two factories and one guard are coming to their aid. Just imagine, once I accompany you out of the capital, when you have no fear, will you still show mercy? Hmph, Liang Shanbo, to tell you the truth, what skills do you have, just use it here. You can kill me, but I also guarantee that none of you, any of you, will make it out of this capital alive! ”
Zhu Houzhao's words made everyone a little shocked. Obviously, this dog emperor is ready to die with everyone. This incident made the mood of the people present a little complicated. The people of the Five Poisons Sect naturally can't ask for it, and the nuns of the Hengshan Sect are a little unwilling, they don't want to die so unexplained, of course, the most anxious person is Wang Shouren, he stood there, trembling his hands, for a while, there was no way, and he always felt that the current situation had reached a dead end.
"Brother Zhu, what you said is very reasonable," At this time, Liang Hong looked at Zhu Houzhao, nodded, smiled and said, "However, you are too wild to treat Liang as a villain who is repeatedly untrustworthy!" ”
"Hmph, you gangsters, what faith do you have to speak of?" Zhu Houzhao sneered.
"Brother Lin!" Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liang Hong suddenly snorted coldly, and Lin Pingzhi stepped forward and asked, "Brother Liang, what are your orders?" ”
"Brother Linghu!" Liang Hong followed by another name, and Ling Hu Chong unconsciously walked to his side, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Liang, how are you doing?" ”
"Two brothers, please go up together, kill the two remaining guards around Brother Zhu for me, but please don't hurt Brother Zhu!" Liang Hong said.
"What's so hard about that?" Hearing this, Lin Ping let out a long laugh, his figure strangely rushed forward, and with a sword down, it had already pierced the guard on Zhu Houzhao's left, and the guard fell in response. At the same time, he only heard a dragon groan, Ling Hu Chong suddenly drew his sword, just leaned forward, the long sword flashed suddenly, and the speed was so fast that his eyes couldn't see clearly, and then he saw that he decisively took the long sword again, and stood beside Liang Hong calmly, as if nothing had happened, but when he looked closely, he found that the guard on Zhu Houzhao's right suddenly covered his throat, and then his eyes were wide open, and the blood flowed between his fingers, and finally he could only fall to the ground helplessly, struggling to die.
"Ah, you thieves, you deceive people too much, I will die with you today!" Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he gritted his steel teeth, trembled all over, and was about to rush up with his sword tight.
"Brother Zhu, how do you compare your martial arts with these two guards?" However, at this time, Liang Hong interrupted Zhu Houzhao's words.
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and did not speak, but his expression was obviously an admission that his martial arts were not as good as those two guards.
"Brother Zhu's martial arts can't even catch up with these two guards, so how can he die with us? You really want to die together, and now your best choice is actually suicide, you know? Liang Hong looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.
"Then, then I will die for you! If I die, you don't want to live! As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he raised his sword and rested on his neck, making a gesture to commit suicide, but he hesitated for a long time but still couldn't do it, the embarrassed and contradictory look was really angry and funny, and everyone snorted in their hearts for a while, wondering whether the emperor was greedy for life and afraid of death, nostalgic for the throne, and unwilling to die. If this is replaced by these sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, how can there be so much nonsense, the soldier can be killed but not humiliated, at a critical juncture, when he says to wipe his neck, he will decisively wipe his neck, and his eyes will not blink, how can he be like Zhu Houzhao who is so coy, he wants to commit suicide, but he doesn't dare, it is really ridiculous and generous.
"Don't laugh, everyone, it's nothing funny," At this time, Liang Hong frowned and looked at everyone, and then said slowly: "It's better to die than to live, Brother Zhu did the right thing, if your sword is really wiped out, Liang will really look down on you!" ”
"Hmph, Uncle Liang Shan, don't be pretty, what do you want, say it quickly!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liang Hong coldly and asked.
"I said, I want to trouble Brother Zhu to take us out of Beijing," Liang Hong said.
"Don't dream, I won't take you out!" Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.
"Oh, this is a bit troublesome," Seeing this situation, Liang Hong sighed with distress, and then asked Xiao Yu'er in his arms: "Xiao Yu'er, the eldest brother is unwilling to help Abba, why don't you persuade him, okay?" ”
"Okay," Xiao Yu'er slid from Liang Hong's arms to the ground as she spoke, and then ran towards Zhu Houzhao with her feet raised.
At the moment, seeing this situation, everyone present was anxious, very worried that Xiao Yu'er was in danger, only Ren Yingying frowned slightly, glanced at Liang Hong meaningfully, and then nodded silently.
"Big brother, you can help Abba, okay?" At this time, Xiao Yu'er had already run in front of Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao saw Xiao Yu'er running over, as if he had seen a life-saving straw, he didn't hear what Xiao Yu'er was saying clearly at all, he only felt that Xiao Yu'er was shining with a dazzling light from head to toe, that was the hope of life! Therefore, he decisively held Xiao Yu'er in his arms, and the long sword was horizontally in front of her, and then he glared at Liang Hong and the others with a cruel smile: "If you dare to come over again, I will kill her immediately!" ”
The Dog Emperor really kidnapped Xiao Yu'er, and for a while, everyone was shocked and moved.
However, at this time, Liang Hong smiled, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "So, Brother Zhu agreed to this deal?" ”
"What deal?" Zhu Houzhao was startled, but then he reacted, and unconsciously looked at Xiao Yu'er in his arms, couldn't help but put down the sword, and asked Xiao Yu'er with concern: "Little sister, I'm sorry, big brother didn't scare you, right?" ”
"No, I know that the eldest brother won't hurt me, Xiao Yu'er is not afraid," Xiao Yu'er said to Zhu Houzhao with a smile.
Hearing the little girl's words, Zhu Houzhao blushed a little, but then hugged Xiao Yu'er and said to Xiao Yu'er: "Little sister, then next, the big brother will hold you like this, and then send you Abba and them out of the city, do you think it's okay?" Don't make a fuss, okay? ”
"Well, okay, Xiao Yu'er likes big brothers, she won't make trouble," Xiao Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled, and those words made Zhu Houzhao's face blush again, and her heart moved, and she unconsciously stroked Xiao Yu'er's back, feeling pitiful and helpless.
At that moment, seeing this situation, everyone also woke up a little, and unconsciously peeked at Liang Hong, feeling that this person was really a little strange, and he was willing to use his daughter as a bargaining chip, and he didn't know how to comment on him for a while.
However, I have to say that in the current situation, if you want Zhu Houzhao to compromise, there seems to be only one way, and everyone has to admire Liang Hong's wit and decisiveness.
"Kill-" At this time, there was a shocking shout of killing from the periphery of Huangzhuang, listening to that sound, I don't know how many soldiers and horses came to support, and everyone couldn't help but panic.
However, at this time, Ling Hu Chong, Ren Yingying, and Lin Pingzhi all agreed, and at the same time bullied them and surrounded Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao calmly hugged Xiao Yu'er, holding the long sword in his hand, and glanced at everyone: "You come with me, I will open the way for you!" ”
"Altar master, beware of the dog emperor's deception!" Seeing this situation, Blue Phoenix hurriedly said to Ren Yingying.
"Hmph," Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao turned his head to look at Lan Phoenix, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I am you Jianghu thieves, can you be untrustworthy?" I am the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor wants a golden mouth. Since I said it, I won't regret it again! ”
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he decisively led everyone towards the gate of the Huangzhuang compound.
