Chapter 173 Arrogance
When Zhu Huaizhen saw Emperor Chu Cheng and Concubine Miao, he wanted to leave.
Emperor Chu Cheng, with disheveled hair and bare upper body, sat on the ground. Concubine Miao, wrapped in a light gauze, rested her head on his thighs, clutching her chest, her breath fragrant with orchids, clearly exhausted.
"Princess Ronghua, tell me where the treasure of the Great Zhou is, and I will spare your life." Emperor Chu Cheng said coldly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
How arrogant was Emperor Chu Cheng to ask her so bluntly?
You know, when Emperor Xuan of Yan met Zhu Huaizhen, he was very tolerant and did not mention the treasure of the Great Zhou at all.
The Great Zhou treasure was shrouded in mystery, and no one knew what it was. As long as the Great Zhou treasure didn't fall into the hands of other states, Emperor Xuan of Yan wouldn't question it. Other states shared similar concerns. But it was Emperor Cheng of Chu who wanted to disrupt this balance.
"Your Majesty, the treasure map is not in my hands." Zhu Huaizhen said honestly.
"There is also a treasure map? Isn't the treasure already there?" Emperor Chu Cheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze dim and unclear.
You know, although Princess Ronghua lost her country, she could squander it as she pleased, with an inexhaustible supply. Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Xuan of Yan, confining Princess Ronghua in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion could stimulate some consumption.
"So, Princess Ronghua, you don't have any treasure at all." Emperor Chu Cheng sneered.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. The treasure map is not in my hands, which means that this is a very huge treasure, enough to ensure that a country unifies the world." Zhu Huaizhen was neither humble nor arrogant, and shook his head and laughed.
"Then how did Southern Wu perish?" Emperor Cheng of Chu sneered.
The fall of Southern Wu was largely due to the efforts of Southern Chu.
"Southern Wu should not have perished..." Zhu Huaizhen hesitated to speak.
Zhu Huaizhen meant that it was Southern Chu that should be destroyed.
Emperor Cheng of Chu understood instantly and became furious.
"Someone, come here, Princess Ronghua spoke rudely, so give her thirty slaps first!" Concubine Miao suddenly sat up and smiled charmingly.
"What my beloved concubine said is very much to my liking." Emperor Chu Cheng pinched Concubine Miao's waist and kissed her lips as if no one was around.
After he finished speaking, the old eunuch slowly walked out from the shadows with an obscene smile on his face.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen sighed, took out a bamboo leaf from his waist, and blew two short and one long whistles.
In an instant, the wind and sand blinded the eyes and blew up the water from Yuquan Spring.
Zhu Huaizhen still couldn't see the shadow guard's face clearly, he only heard a pig-slaughtering howl.
Then, the scene in front of him gradually became clear. It turned out that the old eunuch was beaten to death by thirty slaps. The force was so great that his old face was swollen and extremely ugly.
"Emperor Chu Cheng, tell me, who is speaking so rudely?" Zhu Huaizhen also imitated Emperor Chu Cheng's posture, with his hands on his hips, looking arrogant and unaware of it.
In fact, Zhu Huai was really curious about the Shadow Guard's strength.
"Come here, Princess Ronghua intends to assassinate His Majesty, arrest her immediately!" Concubine Miao raised her voice on behalf of Emperor Chu Cheng, and there was no trace of panic in her voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yulin Army surrounded Zhu Huaizhen, about a hundred people.
Generally speaking, the Yulin Army guarded the imperial palace and only used local people, that is, men from Southern Chu.
It just so happened that Zhu Huai really wanted to find out whether this Nanchu man should be destroyed.
So Zhu Huaizhen used bamboo leaves again and blew two short and one long whistles.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, sweeping up the waves of Yuquan.
Zhu Huaizhen rubbed his eyes, but couldn't see anything clearly.
She thought for a moment, then said arrogantly, "Kill all the Yulin soldiers, leaving only Emperor Chu Cheng and Concubine Miao alive."
