"I'm sorry, you may not be able to wait for His Highness's reply..." Liao Chongwu said slowly, while leisurely looking at Zhen Zhaosi in front of him, he suddenly pulled out a steel knife from his waist, and with a wave of his hand, a bloody head fell to the ground, rolled three times, and then stopped at Gao Zhiqi's feet, and the headless body also fell to the ground with a "bang".
“This, this…” The sudden change made Gao Zhiqi dumbfounded. He looked at the bloody head that rolled to his feet, and suddenly looked up at Liao Chongwu, “Brother Liao, you…what are you doing?”
Liao Chongwu did not answer him. While putting the knife into the scabbard, he wiped the blood off his face, then walked straight towards Gao Zhiqi, bent down to pick up the bloody head, and strode out of the main hall. Facing the guards who were standing still like wooden stakes in the front yard, he held high the head that was still dripping with blood.
"This man claimed to be the bodyguard of Cui Youan, the fourth-rank governor of Ganzhou. Today, he was talking nonsense and making outrageous remarks in the Prince Hui's mansion, intending to rebel. He even kept saying that he was following the orders of Lord Cui. Your Highness has always been loyal to His Majesty, so how could he allow someone to be so blatantly rebellious? So I, on the orders of Your Highness, beheaded this man and sent his head to Ganzhou. I will confront Lord Cui face to face. If this man is really Lord Cui's bodyguard and is indeed here on Lord Cui's orders, then I will report it to Your Highness truthfully, and Your Highness will also write a letter to the emperor and will never cover up for him!"
For a moment, all the guards were frightened by Liao Chongwu. They naturally knew the relationship between Cui Youan and Zhong Minge, so how could they not be shocked when they suddenly saw Liao Chongwu's methods and heard Liao Chongwu's words? After being shocked, they began to whisper and discuss.
"Everyone!" Liao Chongwu spoke again, "Your Highness is the first-rank Hui County Prince personally appointed by His Majesty. He is grateful and loyal to His Majesty. Therefore, no matter who dares to usurp the throne, they are His Highness's mortal enemy! Your Highness will never coexist with them! As guards, we must follow our master wholeheartedly. So from now on, no matter who it is, if we meet such treacherous villains again, we will kill them one by one. We don't need to care whose servant he is, let alone who supports him." Having said this, Liao Chongwu suddenly faced north, knelt on his knees, and then said loudly, "We in the Hui County Prince's Mansion only need to remember one thing: swear allegiance to His Majesty until death!"
"We swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death!" All the guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed at once. The sound was so loud that it made people's eardrums buzz.
"Okay, get up!" Liao Chongwu was very satisfied with the reaction of the guards. He stood up, took a box from Gao Zhiqi's hand, threw the head in, and told Gao Zhiqi, "I have to go to Ganzhou now. It will take six or seven days to come back. You take good care of the house."
"Yes! I obey your command!" Gao Zhiqi hurriedly clasped his fists and said. He had not understood what Liao Chongwu had done just now, but after a while, he reacted and realized that the situation of Prince Hui's Mansion was not good. He then moved closer to Liao Chongwu and whispered, "Brother Liao, be careful on the way. I'm afraid someone will follow you all the way!"
Zhong Zhiheng wanted to test Zhong Minge, so he naturally had spies in Yongzhou and Ganzhou early in the morning. So Zhen Zhaosi must have been seen when he entered Prince Hui's Mansion today, so Liao Chongwu killed Zhen Zhaosi. He also did that in public just now, which was also for show. He wanted to clear Prince Hui's Mansion of any connection with the Cui family. They must have been watching all the way from Yongzhou to Ganzhou, so Gao Zhiqi was very worried about Liao Chongwu's safety.
