He didn't expect that the queen not only thought of this, but also hinted at threatening him with this!
Marquis Wu Gong was a little bit annoyed, he stared at the queen uncertainly for a while, gritted his teeth, lowered the dagger in his hand a little, and sneered at Emperor Xiangqing: "If the emperor hasn't thought about it, the queen's neck will be lost!"
"You!" Shocked, angry and painful, Emperor Xiangqing cried out in despair and distress: "Queen, queen!"
The queen moved her eyeballs to look at him with difficulty, with tears in her eyes, but she didn't beg for mercy.
"Hehe! Then the Marquis of Martial Arts has thought about it, if he hasn't thought about it, Young Master Ling will lose his neck!"
It seemed that in the condensed air, a slightly joking voice suddenly sounded, like a cool breeze blowing in a stuffy jar, which made everyone's emotions uncontrollably relaxed and attracted everyone's attention.
Emperor Xiangqing waited to look over, and saw a group of strangers coming out of nowhere with swords in their hands, two of them were tied up and detained, they were the two sons of Marquis Wu Gong.
The young man who spoke was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features and narrow black eyes. He wore a black robe that fluttered gently in the night wind, with an elegant demeanor. It was Zhou Shizhi.
Although I don't know who this person is, he is undoubtedly a savior. Emperor Xiangqing's deep black eyes were shining with light, and he looked at the young man.
The four eyes met, the young man nodded slightly at him, his eyes were respectful, Emperor Xiangqing also nodded calmly: as long as he can successfully rescue him, he will definitely reward him heavily.
It's just that Marquis Wu Gong has been planning for a long time, and today he suddenly launched an attack, so he must be fully prepared, and now the palace may be under his control. This boy only brought thirty or forty people with him, whether he can be rescued or not is still a matter of opinion.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is clear that both sides have their own interests, and it is a stalemate...
"How could you—" Wu Gonghou couldn't help but change color when he saw clearly the hostages in Zhou Shizhi's hands. He never dreamed that his two sons would fall into the hands of others.
"Father, save us quickly, save us!" Marquis Wugong's youngest son was only eleven years old, and he was still a half-baby. With a look of shame on his face, he didn't even dare to lift his head.
"I don't care who you are," Wu Gonghou ignored the shouting young son, but slowly said to Zhou Shizhi: "You have also seen the situation in front of you. As long as you cooperate with me, I will grant you the title of Marquis and give you gold." Wanliang, a mansion, the splendor and wealth, you can enjoy it all your life! You look like a smart man, think about it carefully!"
"Hero, you can't—ah!" Before the queen could finish her sentence, she slapped Wu Gonghou on the cheek again, and she screamed.
Seeing this, Emperor Xiangqing was furious, roared sharply, glared at each other, and stared at Marquis Wu Gong with the desire to burst into flames.
However, Marquis Wu Gong didn't even look at the turtle in his urn at this moment, his eyes only looked nervously at Zhou Shizhi pretending to be calm, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly, as if he was waiting for his answer with confidence.
Zhou Shizhi glanced at the beaten queen, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "No matter how bad Zhou is, he would never do anything to a woman. Marquis, isn't he too gracious?"
Marquis Wu Gong didn't take it seriously "hehe" he laughed, and said unhurriedly: "This is not an ordinary woman, she is an empress, how can she be judged by an ordinary woman? Hehe, Benhou has no habit of beating women either. , It's just that some women are not like women, and they deserve to be beaten! Have you thought about it? This Marquis is very sincere!"
There was no sound at the scene for a while, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Shizhi, half nervous. His choice is related to the current deadlock.
Especially for Emperor Xiangqing, whether to fall into complete despair or usher in new hope is in his mind.
Zhou Shizhi groaned and did not answer, the hesitation flashed across his face.
Others couldn't see clearly, but people like Emperor Xiangqing, the Empress, and Marquis Wugong clearly saw his expression in their eyes.
The hearts of the two emperors and empresses were cold, but Marquis Wu Gong's eyes shone brightly, his face brightened. He just knew that the saying of knowing the current affairs and being a hero is never wrong.
"How did I know that you won't settle accounts after the fall!" Zhou Shizhi lightly brushed off his clothes and said with a smile.
Marquis Wu Gong hurriedly said: "Of course not, I can swear, I swear with my life."
"I don't believe in this! If you believe in Lord Hou, you may not believe in this, right?" Zhou Shizhi shook his head.
Marquis Marquis laughed loudly, and said: "You are a bit interesting, you are a straightforward person! Good!" He took off the jade pendant on his body without hesitation, held it up and said: "This is a thing handed down from my ancestors, and I will never leave it. body! You take it, and when Ben Hou ascends the throne, you can exchange it for the Iron Scroll of the Pill Book and an imperial decree to avoid death, how about it? Now you believe it, right?"
Zhou Shizhi thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, the smile was extremely relaxed, like a spring breeze.
The two looked at each other, Marquis Hou laughed and said: "Then we are our own people!" He raised his hand and said: "Let them go, this jade pendant is yours!"
"I can release him only when I have the jade pendant." Zhou Shizhi said lightly.
Emperor Xiangqing and the empress looked at each other, secretly exchanged a look, their complexions were ashen.
Marquis Wu Gong frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling secretly angry, thinking that since you have decided to vote for this Marquis, shouldn't you show your sincerity? Could this Marquis still deceive you! It really doesn't make sense...
I can't help but have the meaning of "wait and see".
"Okay, no problem!" Marquis Wu Gong answered very simply, raised his hand, and threw the jade pendant towards Zhou Shizhi.
Zhou Shizhi raised his hand to catch it lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is really straightforward!" After speaking, he grabbed Wu Gonghou's son and pushed him hard towards Wu Gonghou.
Marquis Wu Gong hastily stretched out his hand to support his son, and hurriedly said: "Are you all right! Come here, untie the son!"
"Father, father!" The youngest son shouted when he saw this.
Marquis Marquis glared at Zhou Shizhi, Zhou Shizhi smiled lightly, instead of letting him go, he drew his sword with one hand and pressed it against the young master's neck.
"Don't, don't! Dad, save me, save me!" The cold blade was pressed against the skin of his neck, cool, and the chill spread inadvertently, making his body tremble uncontrollably, and the tip of his heart trembled. stand up.
"What are you doing! Don't let him go!" Marquis Wu Gong was shocked and angry, and couldn't help shouting.
Everyone was also stunned by this sudden change, unable to react at once.
Zhou Shizhi laughed loudly, and said coldly: "Master Hou is very calculating. He wants to exchange two big living people for a piece of jade pendant. Will I do this kind of loss-making business? This broken jade pendant, I don't care at all. Do not care!"
As Zhou Shizhi said, he slammed the jade pendant on the ground with all his strength. Amid the exclamation of everyone, the jade pendant fell to pieces!
"Do you want to get his life back? Exchange your life, Master Hou, I can consider it, Young Master!" Zhou Shizhi sneered, his eyes were indescribably stern and cold.
"You, you!" Wu Gonghou was also stunned, watching his ancestral jade pendant being smashed to pieces arrogantly in front of him, but he was powerless, his whole body trembled with anger, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he wished he could swallow Zhou Shizhi alive.
Zhou Shizhi raised his eyebrows at each other, and sneered again and again, as if he didn't want to let go of his martial arts skills.
"This Marquis is incompatible with you!" Marquis Wu Gong yelled, his facial features twisted, and his expression was indescribably terrifying.
He was furious, like a raging lion, wishing to destroy everything in front of him, and shouted sharply: "Come on! Cut these gangsters into pieces, cut them into pieces, and leave no one behind! "
"Who dares!" Zhou Shizhi also yelled loudly, laughing without complacency and said, "Master Hou seems to have forgotten it? Is your old man's most beloved young son still in my hands? Master Hou wants to Are you going to tear him into pieces too!"
Zhou Shizhi's eyes swept away, and the guards who were about to move after hearing Marquis Wu Gong's words suddenly hesitated and stopped.
Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou dote on their youngest son, and regard the youngest son as more precious than their eyeballs. Everyone in the Hou Mansion knows that.
Marquis Wu Gong seemed to be in a frenzy, as if he didn't hear Zhou Shizhi's words at all, he yelled fiercely: "Go to me, kill me, kill them all! Do it!"
"It turns out that Lord Hou really wants to kill relatives righteously!" Zhou Shizhi let out a long laugh, glanced over all the guards, and said with a mocking smile: "You have all seen it? How does Lord Hou treat the young master on weekdays, and how is it now?" , you follow him, I'm afraid you will end up worse than the young master in the future!"
"Don't sow discord here!" Wu Gonghou shouted angrily, "My son was obviously lost in your hands, and you killed him! I will avenge him, and I want you to be buried with him!" His eyes were vicious Scanning everyone at the scene, he said word by word: "I want all the people here to be buried with my son! Do it!"
"Father! Father! Don't, don't! I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Mother! Mother! Save me, save me!"
Hearing what his father said, the little boy obviously didn't want to save himself. He was so frightened that tears and snot came together, and he cried miserably.
The child's shrill and desperate cry fell on everyone's ears, hitting everyone's hearts one after another, even the enemy Xiangqing Emperor, no one could not bear it, and some concubines even turned their heads and couldn't bear it anymore. Look, quietly raised his hand to plug his ears.
"Master Hou really wants to do something!" Zhou Shizhi sneered.
"Do it! Don't rush to do it, what are you waiting for!" Marquis Wu Gong didn't answer Zhou Shizhi, but shouted at all his subordinates present.
Isn't his heart pierced like a knife, but if there is gain, there will be loss, this is the law of heaven.
What he is going to get now is the whole world, the magnificent rivers and mountains that are thousands of miles away, and everyone bowing at his feet respectfully and saying "Long live!", in exchange for the life of his youngest son, it is worth it...
Son, there will be more in the future, but Jiang Shan, if he misses this opportunity, let alone the next one, his whole family will be destroyed. He calculated this account clearly.
How to choose, he is more clear.
