This sentence made Leng Xi stop in his tracks. The people in Xiwang Mansion had been controlled by the Chu people. These people were his servants who had followed him for many years. He could not let them get hurt, so he did not dare to act rashly. He could only stop where he was, turned around angrily, and roared woodenly:
"Go call Li Tianyang..."
But those Chu people seemed not to have heard it. They still stared at him motionlessly and gestured for him to sit back in his previous position.
There was no longer any sound of Yu Qiaoqiao's cries outside, and he didn't know what had happened to Xiaobao. Now he regretted very much why he had believed his mother's words and let the wolf into the house.
However, he seemed to have no choice at the time. If he did not cooperate with these Chu people, given his mother's identity as a Chu spy, it would only bring ruin to him and his mother.
At this moment, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Leng Yu who was waiting outside could drive out all these Chu people!
As for the identity of my mother, I'll leave it to fate and keep it secret for as long as possible!
He knew that Li Tianyang had been leading them by the nose and he would not let them go easily.
But what can he do?
Although he was confident he could get out of here, what about the hundreds of people in the mansion? What about Xiaobao and his mother? He couldn't just be a coward and run away when faced with danger, could he?
Thinking of this, he could only sigh secretly, sit back in his previous position, half close his eyes, and think carefully about what to do next.
Li Tianyang, who was waiting at the door, saw Chong'er pulling Xiaobao over, and he winked at the two people beside him. The two people came to the door, opened it, and then put a big knife on Xiaobao's neck.
Xiaobao was so frightened that he was shaking all over and kept shouting.
"Ah! Help, let me go, let me go."
The man standing next to him, holding a big knife, roared angrily with some displeasure:
"Don't shout, or I'll kill you."
Xiaobao was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately. Although he stopped shouting, his face had turned pale with fear and big tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.
Leng Yu, who was waiting outside, saw that the door of Prince Xi's Mansion was open, and immediately looked inside vigilantly.
Letu also looked towards the door with a serious expression. When he saw Li Tianyang, he roared angrily.
"Li Tianyang, didn't you hear me talking to you? I am the King of Chu now. You must obey my orders. All Chu people, obey my orders. Hurry and put down your weapons and follow me back to Chu."
At this moment, Luo Lan and Xina also hurried over. Xina squeezed in front of the crowd, looked at Li Tianyang standing at the gate of Xiwang Mansion, pointed at him and shouted:
"Li Tianyang, Letu didn't lie to you. The former king, Meng Xin, has passed away. Meng Letu is now the new king of Chu. If you let go now, he can save your life. Otherwise, neither of you will be able to escape."
Hearing this, Li Tianyang's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile, and then he laughed arrogantly:
"Hahaha! No matter who the King of Chu is now, I, Li Tianyang, only recognize Meng Xin as the King. I haven't completed the mission he assigned to me, so even if I die, I will not retreat."
After saying this, he snatched the long sword from the hand of the person next to him, pointed the sword directly at Xiaobao, and roared in a low voice with gnashing teeth.
"This child, the heir of the royal family, if you want to save him, there is only one way."
At this moment, Concubine Li, who had heard the news, also hurried over. She looked at Xiaobao who was controlled by Li Tianyang, crying and waving her hands.
"Don't hurt him. Tell us what your conditions are, and we'll agree to them all."
When Li Tianyang saw Concubine Li, he first narrowed his eyes at her with contempt, then smiled aimlessly. He then raised his head and looked at Liu Dechang with resentment in his eyes. He raised his finger and pointed at him, saying in a hateful voice, word by word:
"This man, now, dies in front of me, and I can let this child go."
Hearing this, Liu Dechang's dark face was filled with anger.
Luo Lan frowned and glanced at her father. She suddenly realized that Li Tianyang must have made this request in order to complete the task assigned to him by Meng Xin.
She looked at Li Tianyang with a dark gaze, raised her chin, and asked sternly,
"Li Tianyang, the new king of Chu is here, and you still dare to act rashly? It seems that you have no regard for Chu. You don't want to leave here alive, so do you want these Chu people behind you to die with you?"
Her words changed the expressions of Chong'er and other Chu people. Li Tianyang realized that Luo Lan's words might disturb people's hearts, so he immediately put the sword close to Xiaobao's neck and said sternly with gritted teeth:
"Humph! No matter what, I only want Liu Dechang's life. If he doesn't commit suicide here, I will kill this child."
Yu Shiming, who was standing aside, looked pale. The child pointed at by the sword was his grandson. He tried to step forward but was stopped by Li Tianyang.
"If anyone dares to take another step forward, I will kill this child right there, and then his mother and father..."
He said this so fiercely that everyone gasped after hearing it.
Liu Dechang stood there with red eyes, gazing at the sword in Li Tianyang's hand with gritted teeth, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, Li Tianyang twirled the sword in his hand and shouted again, "I'll count to three now. If Liu Dechang doesn't die before I count to three, this child must die."
As soon as these words fell, Concubine Li suddenly raised her hands with a pale face and shouted in panic:
"No, no, I have something to tell you. It's very important to you. It's not too late to take action after I finish speaking."
