Such ambiguous statements are most likely to spark the imagination, and these political elites are also first-rate at filling in the blanks!
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Shi Jingtang's expression changed drastically, and he looked at him in disbelief.
"The Emperor has entrusted the position of Outer Marquis to you?"
Li Zhu did not answer, but just stood there coldly looking at Shi Jingtang. He could not show the slightest fear at such a moment, or he would be killed in a minute!
"No wonder…"
Shi Jingtang said with a sudden realization, as if he had figured out many things in an instant!
The others in the court also showed expressions of shock. This was the umpteenth time they had been shocked today, and the one who shocked them was always the same person, that good-for-nothing crown prince they looked down on!
Everyone was considering the possibility of this, and ultimately concluded that it was highly likely!
The Inner and Outer Marquis Offices were the emperor's intelligence agencies. The intelligence provided by these agencies played a crucial role in the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the empire. The ability to anticipate the enemy's moves was an unimaginable advantage in chaotic times, allowing the emperor to gain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost!
This mysterious power was actually handed over to Li Zhu. It was as if a sharp sword was hanging over everyone's head. One wrong move and their head would be gone. The courtiers who had been shouting the loudest just now couldn't help but touch their necks. They felt a chill run down their spines and realized why Li Zhu was able to obtain information faster than them!
The eyes of the second and third princes seemed to be spitting fire. That was the power they dreamed of. If they had the inner and outer marquises in their hands, the throne would be within their grasp!
Li Zhu was unaware of the existence of the Inner and Outer Marquis Officials, but judging from everyone's reactions, he knew that this was an extremely powerful force!
"So what if you're an official, whether high-ranking or lowly? This is the imperial court. If I want to kill you, no one can stop me, not even the King of Hell. I'm telling you..."
After Shi Jingtang finished speaking, he attacked Li Zhu again, intending to kill the person who exposed his rebellion plan. He felt that if it weren't for Li Zhu, he would be the next emperor soon!
Upon hearing the other person's words, Li Zhu thought to himself, "Are all people in ancient times this arrogant? Do they talk so pretentiously?"
However, he had no choice but to face the punch that Shi Jingtang was throwing. A gust of wind swept over him, and before the punch even landed, Li Zhu felt a special force penetrate his body, about to shatter his internal organs, making him extremely uncomfortable!
Is this the legendary fist power?
Is it really possible for someone in real life to develop internal strength in kung fu?
At this moment, Li Zhu was still in shock and could not calm down. He just couldn't believe it was true!
If that kick had used that kind of hidden force, wouldn't he be dead already?
Before he could think, Shi Jingtang's fist was already in front of him. He could feel the trajectory of the punch. He wanted to fight back, but he found that he couldn't move his limbs at all. The only thing he could do was to bend back as far as possible to dodge the punch!
Shi Jingtang was stunned!
Looking at his fist, he couldn't understand why he had missed. He had gone all out to ensure a fatal blow, even using his hidden strength. The person who couldn't even dodge a normal kick before was able to dodge his full-force punch. This was a bit illogical!
His punch was more than five times faster and more powerful than his previous kick, yet he managed to dodge it. He couldn't understand why!
After this punch confirmed his suspicions, Li Zhu immediately realized that his feeling was correct. His body had undergone some kind of change, giving him strength far beyond that of ordinary people!
It's just that he can't control this power yet. Even though his reaction speed is very high, his body can't keep up with his reaction speed!
Li Zhu took a deep breath, and when he looked at Shi Jingtang again, he was no longer afraid. Instead, he was looking forward to personally killing this shameless stain on China!
How did you do that?
Shi Jingtang asked in shock, while the others looked at Li Zhu with anticipation, wanting to know how someone with no martial arts background could dodge the attack of a battle-hardened general!
"Are you stupid? Do you think I'd tell you?"
Li Zhu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to mock and retort pass him by!
"If you don't talk, I'll beat you until you do..."
Having been repeatedly offended by Li Zhu, a universally acknowledged good-for-nothing, Shi Jingtang was furious. So when he attacked again, he showed no mercy and was determined to fight to the death!
Li Zhu didn't know any fighting techniques, so he could only dodge Shi Jingtang's attacks. Under such circumstances, he was quickly forced into a corner, and his situation became extremely precarious!
Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone Li Zhu, a transmigrator. Being bullied like this has fueled a fire in his heart!
Since I don't know any proper moves, I'll just give you a street thug fighting style!
Thinking of this, Li Zhu no longer hesitated. After dodging Shi Jingtang's whip kick, he raised his leg and kicked straight at Shi Jingtang's groin!
"You dare to resist?"
Shi Jingtang angrily dodged. If he were really injured by this kick, he probably wouldn't need to fight for the throne; he could just go straight for the position of chief eunuch!
Li Zhu rolled his eyes at him. What kind of outrageous words were those? You hit me, and I can't even fight back? You're not my father!
"If I want to kill you, you should stick your head out and let me chop it off..."
Li Zhu retorted without backing down!
"How dare you, a piece of trash, speak to me, a pillar of the state, like that? Today I must beat you to death..."
"You, a pillar of the state, can't even kill a piece of trash like me? It seems you're not even as good as trash..."
"I…"
Shi Jingtang wanted to curse, but there were so few words for cursing in ancient times that he couldn't figure out how to start!
Bang!
Taking advantage of Shi Jingtang's carelessness, Li Zhu punched him directly in the nose!
This blow wasn't fatal, but it hurt!
Shi Jingtang was struck so hard that tears streamed down his face, and blood flowed uncontrollably from his nose. His nasal bone was also broken, and his nose was crooked, making him look quite comical!
"If you can fight, don't talk. That's the key to fighting, don't you know?"
Li Zhu, true to his style of striking while the iron is hot, continued his assault on Shi Jingtang, employing techniques like "Black Tiger Steals the Heart," "Fishing for the Moon from the Bottom of the Sea," and "Monkey Steals the Peach"...
After this whole ordeal, the people around couldn't bear to watch. They instinctively covered their private parts, feeling a deep sense of shared pain, thinking that even if Shi Jingtang didn't die, he would only be able to become a eunuch in the palace!
Just when everyone thought it was over, Li Zhu circled around to the back of Shi Jingtang, who was lying on the ground in pain!
