602 The choice of the Hong family
Today, the stupid Xiong Wuliang sounded the military trumpet, which became known all over the city.
The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more - the results of today's conflict will surely spread all over the world!
Keibe was short of breath......
I'm going to kill Xiong Wuliang's majesty! Promote my Jing's prestige!
"Hongyang!" Keibe laughed sinisterly: "You must be very embarrassed now, right?" β
"You don't have to be so embarrassed."
"I, the Jing clan, am willing to give you a chance to mend your ways!"
"As long as you hand the Pingnan Sword to me today, in full view of everyone, the Jing clan will no longer pursue your evil deeds in the past!"
"And from now on, the Hong clan is a friend of the Jing clan!"
"You don't have to worry about Mi Liang's revenge - we, the old nobles, protect you collectively!"
The crowd of onlookers was silent.
Jingbe, it's really sinister!
Even if Hongyang handed over the sword to Jingbu, it would not be able to change the ownership of the Pingnan Sword, because King Xianzhaohuai had said that the Pingnan Sword would always return to the Quyang Marquis.
But once Hongyang really changed his court, Quyang Hou's face was lost!
Vicious calculations!
Jingbu's 'friend of the Jing family' is really a great temptation for a small family like the Hong family!
Even then again, let alone being a 'friend of Jing's', even if you are a dog's leg for Jing's, it is an opportunity that no number of people can ask for!
"It's over!" An onlooker sighed: "Quyang Hou is going to lose face!" β
"This temptation is too great!"
"Even if the Marquis of Quyang wants to take revenge, he will definitely not be able to help the Hong clan under the protection of the old nobles......"
β¦β¦
Hongyang was short of breath, and his face was full of green muscles.
Xiong Wuliang on the bronze chariot didn't seem to hear the onlookers' discussions, so he leaned back slightly and stared at Hongyang intently.
Seeing this, Lao Jingchong secretly beat a drum in his heart - could it be that this fang has any backhand?
And Jingbu laughed arrogantly: "Mi Liang, what a style!" You're pretty good at pretending! β
"I want to see how embarrassed you will look when you lose face later!"
"Hongyang, don't be afraid! Hand me the sword! Jingbu stretched out his hand slightly, with a kind smile on his face: "Everyone has seen it - Xiong Wuliang is a waste, he can't keep his subordinates, and he can't give his subordinates any benefits." β
"If you follow us Jing in the future, the benefits will be great!"
Jingbu said, looking up to the sky and laughing again.
At this moment, the crowd outside was squeezed away, and Zhao Ju and more than a dozen Zhao family slaves came to the scene - Lao Zhao Ju looked at Xiong Wuliang on the bronze chariot, and then looked at the Quyang new soldiers who were waiting around him, and couldn't help but look stunned.
Everyone was attracted by Zhao Ju and his party-
"Zhaoju is here!"
"Zhao Ju is also an old nobleman......"
"Quyang Hou is afraid that it will be ...... today"
β¦β¦
The sword flashed.
Keibe's rampant laughter came to an abrupt end!
The audience fell into a nightmarish silence.
Hongyang's wrist was obviously trembling slightly, but like a mad demon, he clenched the Pingnan sword and swung it again, three times, and four times......
Keibe fell in a pool of blood!
Hongyang is still wielding his sword!
A large amount of blood flowed on the ground, and Hongyang finally straightened up tremblingly, holding the blood-stained Pingnan sword in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Xiong Wuliang on the bronze chariot: "Quyang Hou...... The Hong family will always be at your disposal! β
Xiong Wuliang nodded with satisfaction, and his originally expressionless face quickly put on a smile: "Hongyang, you did a good job." β
Hongyang lowered his head, almost daring to look up at Jing Chong.
No one knows what kind of psychological struggle he went through just now...... But fortunately, in the end, the right choice was made!
Until a few hundred years later, the Hong family was still a famous family in the Great Chu Empire, famous for being good at navigation, and there were no less than hundreds of ships on the sea. Under the protection of the banner of the Great Chu Empire, the Hong family vigorously developed ocean-going trade and expanded the territory of the empire...... The first captain to land on the Australian continent was a descendant of the Hiroshi clan, who was knighted for his great contribution to 'discovering Australia and opening up vast territory suitable for cultivation for the empire'.
That's all for later!
β¦β¦
Jing Chong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe all this in front of him!
The shock made him forget his anger, and he only felt a confusion in his mind.
After a while, Jing Chong finally came back to his senses - he looked at Xiong Wuliang on the bronze chariot in disbelief, and then roared like an old lion who had been forced to a dead end: "Mi Liang! Mi Liang! β
"You kid, how dare you do this!"
Scald!
The onlookers also exploded!
No one cared about lowering the volume anymore, and they all shouted in horrorβ
"Hongyang really killed Jingbe!"
"Quyang Hou really dared to ......"
"It's over, the old nobles must rebel because of this...... The state of Chu is in danger! β
Jing Chong was furious, and suddenly pulled out the precious bronze sword on his waist, and shouted angrily: "Mi Liang Xiaoer! You are good at killing the minister of the country! You rebel! β
Jing Chong glared at Hongyang viciously: "The Ru clan is punished!" β
Lao Jingchong pointed at Xiong Wuliang with his sword again: "Mi Liang! Mi Liang! β
Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Chong expectantly.
Shaohu even pressed the sword with one hand, and his eyes were shining.
Although Zhao Ju was also shocked, he was still quite sensible, hugged Jing Chong tightly, and glared at Xiong Wuliang angrily: "Quyang Hou, you're going to do it, right?" Come on! If you want to kill, you will kill! β
"You're going to pay for it!"
Xiong Wuliang laughed, didn't pay attention to the two old dogs at all, but stood up and proclaimed loudly: "The first king gave me the Pingnan Sword and gave me the right to kill traitors!" β
"Jingbu is evil, favors the children of the aristocracy, and harms the commoners!"
"It's a traitor...... Yes and no? β
The onlookers were still in a stunned daze, and there were not many voices responding for a while, but most of them nodded silently subconsciously.
These old aristocrats of the Chu State have done too much evil! Passers-by have long been lost.
It is true that there are also many nobles in the Chu State who are dedicated to the country and fulfill their duties on the battlefield - such as the Marquis of Quyang himself, who is also one of the great nobles. And many of the children of Qu Jingzhao's three clans are loyal generals and good ministers.
But Jingbu's guy is obviously not among them.
Killing him is a great pleasure!
Xiong Wuliang continued: "Ben Hou has been ordered by the previous king to kill the traitor! β
"In the future, the position of Yingdu Sikou Ling will be held by Hongyang!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled at Hongyang Senran: "You must fulfill your duties and enforce the law impartially." β
"If you do it well, you will be rewarded."
"If you are bold and reckless, you will use public power to buy favors and protect the powerful...... Today's Jingbu is your end! β
The crowd of onlookers finally reacted.
No matter how the old nobles will retaliate, at least, the Marquis of Quyang killed Jingbu today, which is really in line with public opinion! And what he said to Hongyang just now attracted everyone's sincere support!
"Long live the prince!"
"That's right! Fair and just! β
"Don't favor the powerful!"
β¦β¦
Hongyang, who was suddenly promoted by Xiong Wuliang, stared wide-eyed, almost unable to believe his ears-
β¦β¦
