However, he quickly suppressed these thoughts and instead said softly, "No, you've come at just the right time."
Zu An thought to himself, "This guy usually bosses me around, but today he's calling me Marquis Shen. Looks like he needs something from me."
As expected, Zhao Hao said, "Lord Shen, these people have committed treason. You should kill them on the spot."
Zu'an said somewhat shyly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I am still a criminal at heart."
Zhao Hao knew he was referring to the previous matter of the demon regent, so he said, "Don't worry, I will pardon you. Moreover, you have made great contributions this time, and I will consider making you a king. That way, those corrupt scholars in the court will no longer worry about you colluding with the demons."
Now that the human race is strong and the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast and rich, being the king here is obviously more comfortable than being the king of the demon race. He believes that normal people know how to choose.
However, it is truly hateful that this kid would take the opportunity to blackmail others under such circumstances.
Anger from Zhao Hao: +100 +100 +100...
At this time Qi
Wang immediately shouted, "Don't believe him! Our ancestors left a precept that no one other than the Zhao family could be granted the title of king. He's just trying to fool you."
He was helpless at this point. If Zhao Hao were to turn the tables, he would be doomed.
Zhao Hao snorted coldly: "Rules are made by people. When he makes such an unparalleled contribution, why would I be stingy with a royal title?"
King Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Zu'an, do you remember what I told you before? You should know how much of Zhao Hao's words were sincere and how much were pretentious. He will definitely settle scores after he recovers. As the saying goes, it's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. If you help me ascend the throne, I can give you more than Zhao Hao. Besides the throne, there's also what I told you last time: I can betroth Xiaodie to you. That way, we'll be family, and you won't have to worry about me burning bridges after I've served my purpose."
Upon hearing his words, the four women, Yan, Yun, Qiu, and Xie, immediately turned their gazes to Zu An. It turned out that this young man had already been secretly discussing marriage with the princess of the Qi Prince's mansion.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +110 +110 +110...
Anger from Yun Jianyue: +110 +110 +110...
Anger from Qiu Honglei: +110 +110 +110...
Anger from Xie Daoyun: +110 +110 +110...
Feeling several murderous gazes, Zu An felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, "Has this King Qi lost his mind? How could he say something like this in front of so many people?"
