Chapter 612: Guessing the riddle
It was not Zhao Rui's personal majesty that made Hao Zhao, a person with extraordinary martial arts, kneel on the ground and kowtow.
What made him kneel on the ground like a dog was the way of the world, the imperial power.
Hao Zhao didn't compromise with Zhao Rui and beg for mercy, because he couldn't resist the way of the world and couldn't resist the imperial power.
Don't say that it is him, even Li Xiuyuan also deeply understands that if he dares to kill a prince, there is no second way to go except to rebel, but for Hao Zhao, a person with a family, parents, relatives and friends, it is more difficult to let him rebel than to kill him.
Even his martial arts are so powerful that he can kill all the people in this entire post station and wipe them out.
So what?
The younger brother of the current official family, the king of Yue of the Great Song Kingdom, was assassinated in the post near the official road, can the imperial court not be shaken?
The head catcher of the six gates, some mages enshrined in the imperial court, and cultivators, it is easy to find the murderer.
Because he understood, Hao Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
And the most important thing is that this Zhao Rui has a crazy personality and is not afraid of death threats at all, Hao Zhao's knife is on his neck, and instead of being afraid, he grabbed his knife and sent it up himself.
If Hao Zhao hadn't retracted his efforts at that time, Zhao Rui would have committed suicide.
Li Xiuyuan saw all this kind of everything, so he kept frowning and thinking, hoping to come up with a perfect solution.
can not only protect this Hao Zhao family, but also prevent this Zhao Rui from hating them.
The substitution method is the most secure spell that Li Xiuyuan thinks.
Because no one holds a grudge against the dead.
"You kowtow well, and this king is in a much better mood. Zhao Rui stood up and slowly walked in front of Hao Zhao.
"Lord Wang, be careful. Mr. Liu was shocked and hurriedly commanded the guards to protect him.
"Fuck off. Zhao Rui kicked away Mr. Liu and a few guards: "This king doesn't want you to protect this group of wastes." ”
The guard next to him was frightened, and then retreated timidly.
Zhao Rui walked up to Hao Zhao and patted his face and said: "This king knows, you want to kill me very much, but this king also knows, you don't dare, because with your martial arts, there are countless opportunities to kill this king, but you still haven't done it, because the reason is very simple, this king's surname is Zhao, Zhao Guan's family."
Zhao, you pariahs have a good brain, and you know that the price after killing this king is unbearable. ”
"Of course, if you want to change your attention, it's not too late, the king's neck is here, the knife is still in your hand, the guards are all branched, kill this king, and you can take your wife away and fly away. ”
Zhao Rui smiled a little coldly: "It's just that the surname Zhao is in the world, where can your family go?"
"You.... Said he was going to let us go. Hao Zhao popped out a few words from between his teeth: "If you go back on your word, I will kill you immediately." ”
"Haha, yes, this king didn't say that he wanted to let you go, he just said that you can consider it, for the sake of you kowtowing just now, this king can give you a chance. Well, this king thinks about it, there is, you can play a game with this king, and if you win, this king will let your wife go and let you
If you leave, you will not be held accountable. ”
"If you lose......" Zhao Rui said, "Then I'm sorry, this king wants your wife's life." ”
"You. ”
Hao Zhao's eyes erupted angrily, and the knife rested on Zhao Rui's neck again.
"Haha, kill it, kill it if you want to, but this king can conclude that you, a pariah, don't dare to kill this king. ”
Zhao Rui laughed, not afraid of the blade around his neck at all.
"You only have two choices now, either kill this king and be punished by the nine clans, or accompany this king to play this game, only if you win can you be safe and sound, of course, if you run away with your wife and don't play with this king, this king will still order you to be wanted. ”
Hao Zhao gritted his teeth, and the steel knife in his hand could easily cut off the head of this prince with just one force.
But his knife still couldn't cut down.
The wife Hao Shi on the side cried and said: "The official family, promise him, the life and death of the cheap family is no longer important, but the official family, you can't have anything to do, if there is no you at home, everything will be over, and the in-laws will starve to death in the future, the children will starve to death, and there will be nothing." ”
"Look, how virtuous your wife is, she is still worried about you at this time, is your knife just for killing? Maybe you can beat this king with your ability?" Zhao Rui said with a smile.
"Damn. ”
The steel knife in Hao Zhao's hand flicked it, only to hear an explosion, and the waist knife sank into the green brick next to it.
"You dog official, do you really want to push me to a dead end before you give up? Whatever you want to play, I'll play with you, but if you go back on your word, I swear that I will cut off your head today." ”
He swore to the sky, gritting his teeth and roaring.
"That's right, but don't worry, this king has always been very trustworthy, this king is the current prince, how can he talk like you pariahs doesn't count?"
When Zhao Rui saw his promise, he was overjoyed, as if he was waiting for this moment.
"So, the game begins. ”
Zhao Rui said excitedly, and then began to pace and think, and kept muttering: What are you playing today?
"You, hurry up. Hao Zhao urged impatiently.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's rare to meet such an interesting person as you today, this king naturally has to have fun. Zhao Rui didn't take his insults to heart at all.
Suddenly, he raised his head sharply and said, "There is." ”
Then he pointed to one of the guards and said, "You, yes, it's you, go out of the post station for this king, don't go far, go out and go around the post station and come back in." ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
The guard paused for a moment, then answered, and turned away with some trepidation.
He didn't know what game this prince was going to play today.
After the guard left, Zhao Rui said excitedly, "Hao Zhao, this king's game has begun, this is a guessing game, guess if the king's guard will step over the threshold with his left foot first or his right foot after walking in a circle later?
And the king will let you and your wife go, and if you guess wrong, your wife will die today. ”
Crazy, crazy, this man is a madman.
Hao Zhao felt that his hands and feet were cold, and looking at the excited look on Zhao Rui's face, there was only one thought in his mind.
A childish game like a child, he gambled with his life.
"Guess, I heard the footsteps outside the door, the king's guards have already circled half a circle, and they are about to come in, if you don't guess, the king will guess first. Zhao Rui urged.
Hao Zhao clenched his fists, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he struggled in his heart.
His lips moved slightly, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't.
If you guess wrong, your wife will die.
deciding his wife's life like a child's play, how could he bear to say it.
"Tread, stomp. ”
The guard who had just left had already turned around in a circle, and the sound of footsteps was clearly coming from behind him, and it only took a few breaths for the guard to enter the station.
Zhao Rui patted his thigh and said: "You are really a mother-in-law, you have to think about such a simple question for so long? Since you don't guess the king, you will guess first, but if the king guesses correctly, you will lose this game, well, the king guessed that the guard is the left foot first."
Come on. ”
As soon as the words were finished, the guard who had left before had already walked to the door, and at this moment he hugged a fist: "Lord Wang." ”
Hao Zhao felt that he was about to be driven crazy at this moment, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at the guard's feet.
He didn't have the courage to gamble with his wife's life.
But this prince Zhao Rui didn't give him a chance to escape at all.
"Come in. Zhao Rui called the guard in.
"Yes, my lord. The guard, too, was a little confused, and strode in.
The guard found that everyone in the inn was staring at him at the moment, which made him feel a little nervous, and he didn't know what had happened here during the time he had walked out.
But just as he was about to cross the threshold, he suddenly looked in a trance and paused, but then stretched out his feet and crossed the threshold.
And his foot over the threshold is...... Right foot.
