"Xin Zhao?"
Zhao Wan and the others muttered subconsciously, then couldn't help but open their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Xin in surprise, "Are you the emperor?"
"presumptuous!"
Cao Xiong shouted, and the soldiers behind him subconsciously raised their weapons again.
The expressions of Zhao Wan and others couldn't help but change, but they still looked surprised.
Zhao Xin simply smiled. "Yes, that's good. It saves me from unnecessary nagging."
Then he glanced at Qian Kong and said, "Mr. Qian's guess is correct. I came here precisely because of Zhao Dang, but not entirely. Because you and Zhao Dang are the same..."
Zhao Xin paused slightly at this point and glanced at everyone.
Then he said word by word: "...They are all traitors!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's faces changed.
Someone couldn't help but touch the weapon again.
Zhao Xin glanced and said nothing.
Cao Xiong, who was standing behind him, chuckled and looked at the actions of those people. He said with a half-smile, "I advise you not to do anything stupid."
"Don't move!"
Qian Kong turned around and shouted at his own people, stopping their actions. Then he laughed and said, "Oh, it turns out that it is the emperor himself. We are not acquainted with your face. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he clasped his fists and bowed, then smiled and said, "However, Your Majesty wants to call us traitors, but we refuse to admit it. Although our lord has raised an army, it is only because there are traitors in power in the court. That's why..."
"hehe……"
Zhao Xin scoffed, "Mr. Qian, do you think I'll believe this nonsense?"
Zhao Xin was too lazy to argue with him. The nonsense of raising an army to support the king was overused in the history of the Chinese world.
"I won't waste my words with you. Let me be frank. That idiot Zhao Dang caused trouble by slaughtering over a hundred natives of Hangjiabao. Now he has even captured the granddaughter of the owner of Hangjiabao and is trying to force Hangjiabao to hand over the treasure of Emperor Yu.
So I plan to chop off his head to give the natives an explanation.
But before that, I intend to kill you first, so that when I deal with that idiot Zhao Dang, you won't be the one to interfere behind my back!"
Zhao Xin said indifferently.
It feels like stating a fact.
Hearing his words, Zhao Wan and others' expressions couldn't help but change, their eyes flickered, and they were obviously guessing the truthfulness of Zhao Xin's words.
But one of the two groups sneered and said, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, why don't you take action?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wan and the others couldn't help but change their expression. Just as they were about to scold him, an arrow shot out from behind Zhao Xin and pierced the man's throat.
The enormous force pushed him backward and hit the guardrail, but the man was not dead immediately, and his eyes were full of shock.
After struggling with his hands and feet for a while, he didn't know what happened, but he fell over the railing and fell down the stairs.
Zhao Wan and others turned around and saw this scene, and their expressions changed in shock.
When he turned around again, he saw that the person who shot the arrow was Nan Luoying.
When they met for the first time, Zhao Wan and Zhao Mian had feelings for Nan Luoying.
This was the second time they had seen each other, but because of the setting, the two of them didn't have time to pay attention.
But when he saw that this ordinary girl who looked like a goddess could actually kill people, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Zhao Mian, in particular, was filled with fear.
Because the previous time, Zhao Wan was fine and relatively restrained.
He had been pretending to be crazy and stupid at first.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have done something extremely stupid.
Nan Luoying, on the other hand, had a look of indifference on her face at this time.
In fact, she was not a murderer.
Although she came from a military family, she had rarely been on the battlefield and naturally had not really killed many people.
But she knew very well that if she really wanted to go down this path, it would only be a matter of time before she would bleed.
Instead of waiting until blood is seen on the battlefield, it is better to meet him before actually going to the battlefield. This is her own idea and also the advice Li Cunxiao gave her.
So this time, she followed Zhao Xin and was looking for an opportunity.
Zhao Xin also knew what she was thinking, and after a little thought, he agreed.
Who knew that guy would be so unlucky that he actually asked Zhao Xin "Your Majesty, why don't you take action?" Isn't this Cui's trick? He just happened to run into the hands of Nan Luoying who was looking for an opportunity.
Nan Luoying fired the crossbow arrow without even thinking about it. By the time she reacted, the man had already fallen down the stairs.
This is good, as it avoids excessive bloodiness and also reduces the psychological shock for Nan Luoying who actually "sees blood" for the first time.
It made Zhao Mian and others feel that she was "killing without blinking an eye". She would start a fight without any hesitation, and after it was over, she could still look "indifferent".
I was extremely scared.
So scary!
Zhao Xin knew clearly in his heart that Nan Luoying's so-called "indifference" was just a pretense.
However, he did not say much. Since Nan Luoying chose this path, she had to bear some things.
So he just gave her an encouraging look, then looked away and returned to his indifference.
Then he glanced at everyone and asked indifferently, "Where were we talking just now?"
Zhao Wan and others looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer or not.
Fortunately, Zhao Xin still had Cao Xiong behind him. Cao Xiong chuckled and glanced maliciously at Zhao Wan and the others. Then he lowered his head and whispered in Zhao Xin's ear, "Your Majesty, I'm talking about these people who are behind the scenes!"
Zhao Wan and the others were startled, and then they realized what was happening. Zhang Dongsheng said, "Your Majesty, I think your Majesty's action is inappropriate."
"Foreign minister?"
Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked softly, "Are there any foreign ministers in my Great Qin?"
"No, in my opinion, there are only three kinds of people in this world: Your Majesty's subjects, Your Majesty's subjects... and the other kind are traitors."
Cao Xiong bent over, gave a sinister laugh, then raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Dongsheng, "Mr. Zhang, which one are you?"
"Gudong~"
Zhang Dongsheng couldn't help but clench his clasped hands. His Adam's apple rolled over, and after a moment's hesitation, he said again, "Your Majesty, I think your action is inappropriate."
"Tell me what's wrong."
Zhao Xin smiled.
"Yes."
Zhang Dongsheng agreed, then thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qi is very powerful now, and he is just outside the Great Wilderness Mountain. Since Your Majesty is away, I'm afraid you don't have a large army to accompany you.
However, Your Majesty has a sense of justice on his shoulders. Even if the King of Qi has great power, he would not dare to offend Your Majesty easily, otherwise he would be condemned by the people of the world, and even my lord would not stand idly by.
But if Your Majesty were to kill his son without authorization, it would give him an excuse to accuse him of something, and then... it would be disadvantageous to Your Majesty."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.
The people behind Zhao Xin also looked gloomy and looked at him coldly.
But the people on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Qian Kong and Zhao Mian couldn't help but secretly praise "awesome".
