After listening to the Marquis's report, Li Zhu was quite satisfied with his work...
"Little Monkey truly lives up to his title as the head of the inner and outer lords; I never expected him to be able to handle such a meticulous matter. It's just contacting some local nobles and wealthy merchants; it's nothing serious. Go find Zhao Feng and give these people a warning. As long as they do their business peacefully, I won't do anything to them. But if they're disloyal or even have their hearts set on other things, then don't blame me for being impolite..."
Li Zhu's words were devoid of any emotion, which secretly alarmed the Marquis, who felt that Li Zhu was increasingly displaying the demeanor of a ruler...
However, Li Zhu usually has a goofy personality, joking around with them without any airs. But once he gets serious, the kind of pressure he exudes is terrifying...
Perhaps this is what growth is all about. The Marquis, who has always been by Li Zhu's side, has watched Li Zhu grow up all the way, and his heart is filled with more pride than anything else...
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away..."
Hou Wang turned and left, conveying Li Zhu's message to Zhao Feng...
Subsequently, during meals, an arrow appeared on the tables of the various nobles in Qin City.
Which of these people who can take charge of a family isn't a shrewd and capable individual?
They immediately realized this was a warning from the Crown Prince; the Crown Prince must have found out about their secret meeting with Hong Ao…
This shocked them both by the Crown Prince's formidable intelligence capabilities and his ruthless methods. If this arrow could be delivered silently to their dinner table, it could also be delivered silently to their chests…
Thinking that after the Crown Prince entered the city, he not only did not commit any offenses but also helped many people solve many problems and showed great respect to these nobles, ...
Hong Ao was a military commander, unlike the nobles who had families, land, and shops…
Each and every one of them is their lifeline; they cannot give up, nor will they give up…
Therefore, after weighing their options, all the nobles rejected Hong Ao's request and refused to send anyone to help them retake Qin City...
Hong Ao was initially overjoyed, thinking that with his influence, borrowing a few hundred people wouldn't be a problem. However, after a day or two of work, he discovered that not only had he failed to borrow any people, but several of his men had also been arrested, which left him somewhat depressed…
Zhu Yougui is currently waiting for his signal outside the city. If he doesn't receive any news for a long time, Zhu Yougui will probably give up on him, and he will lose the chance to retake Qin City...
"Still no one agreeing to our conditions?"
Hong Ao looked at his subordinates and asked!
"General, these people all agreed readily, but for some reason, not long after they returned, they all turned against us. Not only did they disagree with our demands, but they also refused to see us again..."
His subordinate said with a grave expression, realizing that this situation was bad. There were only two reasons why these nobles had suddenly turned against him: one was that the benefits were too small to sway them, and the other reason was chilling to think about...
In their eyes, Hong Ao's intimidating power was no longer enough to deter them; rather, it was the enemy they were dealing with that gave them the intimidating power to not dare to resist...
Hong Ao believed that the conditions he had offered were already extremely favorable, and these people couldn't possibly resist them; otherwise, they wouldn't have contacted him in the first place. But now that they had all suddenly turned against him, it meant that they felt an unimaginable threat...
Bang!
Hong Ao slammed his hand on the table and said angrily.
"These fickle and capricious people are truly not worth scheming against..."
"General, what do we do next?"
Hearing his subordinate's question, Hong Ao calmed himself down and then coldly replied...
“No one knows Qin City better than us. Even without the help of these nobles, we have the ability to throw Qin City into chaos. The Crown Prince has stationed his troops outside the city. As soon as his attack begins, even if there are only a few of us, we will still have a chance to get close to those Taoist camps…”
This made his subordinates nod in agreement, agreeing with their general. No one knew the city better than them, and creating chaos wouldn't be difficult...
"Brilliant... I never expected you to have such a plan. Truly admirable..."
Suddenly a voice rang out, startling the two men so much that they immediately stood up, drew their weapons, and cautiously looked around, but saw no one in sight…
A gentle breeze blew by, and the two felt the coolness in the air. They did not find the mysterious person, which meant that the mysterious person had heard what they had just said.
"Who's there? Show yourself if you don't want to die..."
Hong Ao roared, feigning composure, but he knew in his heart that he most likely wouldn't leave here alive today…
boom!
The courtyard gate suddenly shattered into pieces and flew out in all directions…
Wang Yanzhang stood with his gun sheathed, his valiant figure sending a shiver down the spines of the two men…
This is a master...
The same judgment flashed through their minds simultaneously. They then weighed the relative strengths of both sides, and their hearts sank to the bottom. Wang Yanzhang was not someone they could contend with…
But just when the two thought their opponent was Wang Yanzhang, a short Japanese man appeared beside Wang Yanzhang; it was none other than Li Zhu's pet dog, Xiao Baga…
This is also a master, and a master even stronger than Wang Yanzhang…
Despair filled the two men's hearts. Looking at Wang Yanzhang and Xiao Baga, they had only one thought in their minds: It's over!
But this was clearly not the end; the two of them moved to opposite sides simultaneously…
There are still people!
The two were stunned into silence. The identity of the person who could make two such experts step aside was obvious...
The new crown prince of Tang, Li Zhu!
The gate, now devoid of its door panels, resembled the gaping maw of a terrifying beast in the pitch-black night, while Wang Yanzhang and Xiao Baga were like the beast's open teeth, teeth capable of tearing any enemy to shreds...
"Close the door, unleash the dogs..."
The first thing Li Zhu said as he walked in left everyone present completely dumbfounded…
Wang Yanzhang stared blankly at the door he had smashed to pieces, wondering how the hell he was going to close it.
Little Baga was also a bit confused. Releasing the dog was easy to understand, it meant he was the one doing it, but the premise was that the door was closed before releasing the dog. Now the door wasn't closed, should I intervene?
Hong Ao and his men assumed a defensive stance, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the so-called dog...
This made the two of them wonder to themselves, "Is this new Tang crown prince an idiot?"
After Li Zhu gave the order, he noticed that none of the four people reacted. He couldn't help but turn around and saw Wang Yanzhang staring at the shards of the door scattered on the ground, lost in deep thought...
Li Zhu's face immediately darkened...
