Chapter 74: Break your arms first! The great court will come and ask for a monthly ticket)
…
Wang Shouzhe and others looked relaxed and at ease.
But Zhao Zhikun and his wife were trembling with fear. Once they were captured, they might not even have the chance to go to the battlefield outside the territory to atone for their sins.
Even whether Gong Yangce would give him a chance to go back alive is still a question worth discussing.
Because once Zhao Zhikun has no way to survive, he may not be willing to protect Prince Kang. And once he betrays him, he will be a huge threat to Prince Kang.
This is extremely possible. Otherwise, why would Gong Yangce not show up earlier or later, but would wait until Yunlu Feizhou left Guilong City and Thirty-six Guards before reappearing?
Thinking about it carefully, drops of cold sweat fell from Zhao Zhikun's forehead.
Beyond the clouds and flying boats.
Gongyang Ce stood on the back of a sixth-level spiritual bird "Golden-winged Ibis" with his hands behind his hands, and followed the Yunray Flying Boat to glide unhurriedly. At the same time, he warned the Yunray Flying Boat to undergo inspection.
The mighty laminar flow of strong wind blew past him, but it couldn't even shake his body-protecting Qi. It only made his clothes flutter slightly.
This time when he returned to the Holy Land, he accepted part of Master Langya's inheritance. His strength has improved significantly and he has become more calm and confident.
If he hadn't been urgently recruited back to work by Prince Kang, he would have gained even more this time.
Under Yao Chengchao's instructions, the Yunray Flying Boat slowed down and opened a door to let Gong Yangce in.
Gongyang Ce sneered, and flew into the flying boat with his hands behind his back. With his strength and confidence, he believed that Yao Chengchao would never dare to do anything to him. After all, he was still within the scope of Daqian's influence and was far away from the main urban area of Guilong City.
It's only five or six thousand miles away.
As soon as he stepped into the flying boat.
Yao Chengchao greeted him with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "I have heard about Mr. Ce for a long time, and today I see him in his style. Chengchao is very lucky for the rest of his life."
Although the Yao family was of the first rank in the Immortal Dynasty, he was a businessman, so he naturally smiled at everyone and made money rolling in.
"Brother Cheng Chao." He extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Gong Yangce also returned the courtesy gracefully, "I would like to thank Brother Cheng Chao for your cooperation."
"No, no, we, Yao's Air Transport, are engaged in transportation business, so we should cooperate with the inspection." Yao Chengchao was full of polite words.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Cheng Chao. Please ask Brother Cheng Chao to hand him over." Gongyang Ce said calmly, "As long as you are willing to actively cooperate, since this is your first offender, I don't have to argue with you this time."
This is because Yao's air transport is too powerful. Daqian also needs this air transport line to maintain contact with the Immortal Dynasty and exchange materials, so it is impossible to directly cut off this line.
"This..." Yao Chengchao frowned slightly and said, "I think Zhao Zhikun and his wife are quite pitiful. Why don't you show your respect to Mr. Ce? I, Mr. Yao, have my own gift of thanks~"
"Brother Cheng Chao, I don't care about you anymore for harboring and helping criminals escape." Gongyang Ce said with a cold expression on his face, "If you are really stubborn, don't blame me for using force. Even if this matter comes to your Majesty's attention,
Go ahead and make a fuss in the Holy Land, it’s you, Yao, who is being unreasonable."
"Okay, then I will immediately turn around the flying boat and send the Zhao couple to your Majesty." Yao Chengchao also hardened his tone, "I will be punished by Your Majesty for my crime of harboring and coordinating the escape."
A sharp light shot out from Gong Yangce's eyes, and an invisible murderous intention enveloped Yao Chengchao: "Brother Chengchao, do you really want to go against Prince Kang? He is the future emperor, and even you Yao cannot afford to offend him."
As soon as this statement came out.
Zhao Zhikun, who was hiding in the secret cabin, was immediately doused with a basin of cold water, chilling his head to his feet. If Gongyang Ce asked him to face the saint, he would naturally follow the path of impartial treatment. Zhao Zhikun had nothing to say.
But now Gongyang Ce's words have revealed that they refuse Zhao Zhikun to meet the saint... What does that mean? It means that they will not give him any chance again.
His heart was bleeding, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. Prince Kang, I want him to die!
Only a dead person can keep that secret forever without affecting his fight between emperor and son.
Just when Zhao Zhikun fell into despair.
A kind but stern voice sounded: "Gongyang Ce, please pay attention to your wording. Prince Kang is just one of the quasi-emperors. How can you be sure that he will be the future emperor?"
This voice...sounds familiar...
Zhao Zhikun hesitated.
Wait...this is Wu Mingyuan, Prince of Anjun! How could he appear on the Yunlu Flying Boat?
"Prince Anjun!"
At the same time, Gongyang Ce also saw the young man in rich clothes slowly walking out of the cabin. He immediately shrank his pupils and secretly thought something bad.
Could it be that this is a trap for him?
"Your Highness, Brother Shouzhe, you are here just in time." Yao Chengchao changed his face and said, "Gongyang Ce threatened me and refused to let me go to the capital from the capital."
Brother Shouzhe?
When Gongyang Ce heard this name, his heart suddenly jumped and he looked at the person coming.
I saw a handsome young man with a gentle temperament following behind Prince An.
His aura is neither strong nor overbearing, just like the gentle spring breeze. It is not aggressive at all, but confident and calm, giving people a sense of convincingness.
His demeanor is also very extraordinary. Even when he is standing next to Prince An, who is a royal nobleman, he is not inferior in the slightest.
Is this Wang Shouzhe?
It was this man who caused several of his plans to come to nothing.
It was this person who quickly built up Prince An's reputation after he decided to assist Prince An. Now, Prince An's reputation among middle- and lower-class families and common people has even reached a level that rivals Prince Kang's.
situation.
Once upon a time, he didn't pay attention to Wang Shouzhe at all. He only wanted to win over him because he thought he had some ability to make money.
But I never thought that such a small person from a rural family could rise quickly to the point where he could stir up troubles and even affect the future direction of the entire Daqian Dynasty.
"Brother Cheng Chao, please be patient. Mr. Ce is just executing the order to capture the fugitive. He is a great genius of the Holy Land and will never threaten others at will." Wang Shouzhe said with a gentle smile, "Now that the matter has arrived
In this regard, I believe Mr. Ce will not let Zhao Zhikun go easily, so Brother Cheng Chao will invite him out."
"Okay, since you and Prince An are here to uphold justice, I'm not afraid that Gongyangce will kill someone and silence him." Yao Chengchao actually directly attacked Gongyangce.
It is very obvious that his previous attitude was just to show weakness to the enemy.
The great genius of the Holy Land is indeed awesome, but what does Mr. Yao have to do with him? They don’t have the same aura and outlook on life, so there’s no point in trying to make friends.
Later, Yao Chengchao followed Wang Shouzhe's instructions and invited the embarrassed Zhao Zhikun and his wife out of the mezzanine cabin.
At this point, how could Zhao Zhikun and his wife not understand the situation?
The couple were just chess pieces to be played around with, and they became tools in the struggle between King Kang and King An.
"That girl I met at the clothing store, is Prince An's wife?" Jiang's eyes seemed to be a little unkind to Prince An.
Without waiting for Prince An's reply, Wang Shouzhe took the first step and said apologetically: "Mrs. Zhao, that girl is one of my subordinates. She assisted the two of you in escaping, and it was my order."
"Are you Wang Shouzhe?" Mrs. Jiang seemed to have a lot of hatred for Wang Shouzhe. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's you, it's you who ruined everything for us. You have already won, why do you want to plot against us again and refuse to let us go?"
?”
"Mrs. Zhao's words are wrong." Wang Shouzhe sighed, "Zhao Zhikun assisted King Kang to target the Wang family. It's normal for each of them to be their own masters. However, since he has participated in this huge gamble, he is the loser.
Whether you win, live or die is not up to you."
"Either you don't end up. Once you end up, you have to be mentally prepared to bear the consequences. Don't blame others here."
Zhao Zhikun stopped Jiang and said with a wry smile: "Yuanxiang, what he said is right. Since we have lost, we must have the consciousness to lose. Only this time, I not only suffered myself, but also implicated you."
After a pause, Zhao Zhikun saluted Prince An and Wang Shouzhe, and said bitterly: "Your Highness Mingyuan, the head of the Shouzhe family, I was the one who advised Prince Kang, and I was also the one who targeted the Wang family of Changning before. I am responsible for all crimes.
I, Zhao Zhikun, work alone and take responsibility for others, I beg you two to let Yuan Xiang go."
Prince An glanced at Wang Shouzhe, then took half a step back, looking left and right with his hands behind his back, as if "I'm impatient to deal with such trivial matters, Wang Shouzhe, you can handle it."
Wang Shouzhe glanced at Prince An angrily.
You are a quasi-emperor, but you are too lazy. You usually either farm and do research, or you play chess and abuse vegetables happily.
If he is still so lazy when he becomes the emperor, won't Wang Shouzhe be busy to death?
No, no, for the sake of leisure for the rest of my life, I can't let him indulge in his bad habits.
Upon thinking of this, Wang Shouzhe also took a step back, pulled Yao Chengchao over and started chatting about some interesting stories about the Immortal Dynasty, as if "it's none of his business".
It's you, the old man, who is fighting for the emperor's son, not me...
This time, it was Prince An's turn to be dumbfounded. It was so comfortable when working with Zong An in the past. Zong An could always handle all kinds of trivial matters in an orderly manner so that he didn't have to worry.
Now that he went out to do errands with Shouzhe, he realized that there is no laziest, only lazier.
Now he finally understands why Zong An's personality is so calm, delicate and considerate. With such a father who is like a wandering cloud and a crane, and who often doesn't act according to common sense, it's hard not to be calm and thoughtful.
"It's not easy for Young Patriarch Zong An."
After Prince An sighed with emotion in his heart, he had no choice but to take a step forward and said: "Zhao Zhikun, Mrs. Jiang, let's postpone your matters for now."
After saying that, he looked at Gongyang Ce with somewhat stern eyes and said: "Gongyang Ce, as a great genius of the Holy Land and one of the future quasi-holy sons, how can you be so indifferent to right and wrong?"
"Your Highness, everyone is his own master." Gong Yangce's eyes flickered for a few times, but he finally couldn't help but lie to his face.
"Absurd!" Prince An waved his sleeves and scolded sternly, "You are one of the Nine Lineages of the Holy Land, the descendant of the Taiyi Jinyang True Dharma lineage, and at least you are also one of the guardians of the future Daqian. If
How can we protect Daqian and the human race if we don’t even have basic ethics?"
"If that's the case, I'd like to pay a visit to Master Langya and Holy Master Jiang. Ask them if the current Holy Land has degenerated to the point where strength is the most important thing? In order to cover up Prince Kang's crimes, you can do whatever you want for him.
Killed and silenced?"
Every word he said made Gong Yangce's face feel hot, and he couldn't help but argue: "Zhao Zhikun has fled in fear of crime. If he is caught this time, his crime will be increased. He will bite randomly to save his life. Now he is the emperor.
How could such a change be tolerated during the critical period of the war between the two? What’s more, considering Zhao Zhikun’s crimes, His Majesty has given him a chance to forgive, but he still refuses to reflect and absconds, even if he is killed, it will not be unjust.”
"Hmph, even if Zhao Zhikun is guilty, it's not your turn to kill a great prodigy of the Holy Land privately." King An said with stern eyes, "I heard before that although Mr. Ce comes from a small family, he has great ambitions and is committed to revitalizing the country.
The ambition to revitalize the Holy Land. I originally admired him in my heart, but when I saw him today, he was just a confused person who couldn't distinguish between right and wrong. If Prince Kang was really not involved in the smuggling case, why was he so afraid of being bitten by Zhao Zhikun?"
Gongyang Ce's face turned red and white. He wanted to refute, but his arguments were insufficient.
"Your Highness." Wang Shouzhe ended his chat with Yao Chengchao and joined the conversation, "I have learned about Gong Yangce's past and personality, and analyzed it based on his work style. This person really wants to be with Prince Kang.
Revitalize Daqian and revitalize mankind. However, he was confused by the appearance shown by King Kang, and thought he was a person like him, so he desperately wanted to help King Kang ascend to power, and then join hands to realize his ideal.
"
Gongyang Ce's eyes were uncertain for a while, and he stared at Wang Shouzhe and said: "How can you be sure that Brother Chengsi and I are not the same kind of people? I have known him for a long time, and I don't know him better than you do? What's more, now it's just a matter of convenience.
Plan, he promised me that after ascending to the throne, he will work hard for his ideals, but..."
"But in the process of ascending to the throne, there will always be some underhanded methods involved, and there will always be some not-so-glorious behaviors. This is something that Mo Ke can do, isn't it?" Wang Shouzhe interrupted him casually, with a hint of something in his expression.
Feeling helpless and a little regretful, "Mr. Ce's character did not exceed my prediction. However, you are an idealist, too naive and egoistic, so much so that you even found something wrong, but still didn't do it.
If you want to believe it, you are still deceiving yourself.”
Gong Yangce had asked Wang Mei to investigate this person carefully before.
Probably because Gongyang Ce was too idealistic, and Prince Kang also knew his temperament, so he avoided many things. For example, regarding smuggling, before this incident was exposed, Gongyang Ce
Completely unaware.
Gong Yangce was born in the Holy Land and was influenced by the Holy Land. He has always hated colluding with foreign enemies. With his temperament, if he had known about this matter in advance, he might not have helped conceal it.
Even now, Prince Kang is probably still deceiving Gong Yangce, saying that Zhao Zhikun did it on his own in private and not under his instruction.
But did Gong Yangce really have no doubts at all? I'm afraid not necessarily.
"You..." Gong Yangce was so enraged by Wang Shouzhe's expression that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "The scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! Wang Shouzhe, it is true that I lost to you this time by one move, but
This doesn’t mean you have the right to insult me arbitrarily!”
"Whether what I said is true or not, you know in your heart." Wang Shouzhe did not argue with him, calmly shook his head and sighed, "Although you followed Prince Kang, you did some things and had some problems.
But it is not a heinous mistake, and the crime will not lead to death. Besides, I am not qualified to condemn you. It is better to wait until the dust settles and you can go back to the Holy Land to find Lord Jiang to apologize."
"Wang Shouzhe, don't think you've got me." Gong Yangce was so angry that he calmed down and snorted coldly, "It's true that I was careless today and fell into your trap, but with you,
If you want to stay, I’m afraid I still have enough energy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took half a step forward, and his clothes were still in the wind.
In an instant.
A sharp sword intent suddenly shot up from his body into the sky.
At this moment, his whole body seemed to be transformed into an indestructible sword, his whole body filled with sharp energy and unparalleled edge.
After all, he is not an ordinary monk in the Purple Mansion Realm, but a great genius in the Purple Mansion Realm. He has his own pride and self-confidence. Even if he is single-handedly trapped in the enemy camp, he will not surrender easily.
What's more, his strength was not weak in the first place. This time he returned to the Holy Land and accepted the special inheritance from his master Langya. Although his cultivation level has not increased significantly, his understanding of the sword has gone a step further, and naturally his self-confidence has also increased.
A wave.
The terrifying sharp golden energy filled the air. For a while, the atmosphere in the cabin was horribly depressing. The air shook faintly, and there were faint sounds of swords. It seemed that there were countless invisible swords suspended in the air, charging.
Ready to go.
The endless sharp edges were all pointed at Wang Shouzhe, as if they were going to completely crush him.
The expressions of Zhao Zhikun and his wife next to them suddenly became serious. They understood that they could not reach an agreement and were ready to take action.
"Alas~"
Wang Shouzhe sighed softly and waved his hand.
A puppet that looked simple and very similar to a human appeared in front of him.
Wang Shou Clan!
Unlike the battlefield-killing war puppet king Shouzong, he is a protective puppet.
The rewards set up by the Shenwu Dynasty recruit training camp are aimed at young people with outstanding potential, and the puppets for the rewards are naturally designed to protect young people.
The Wang Shou Clan is currently the strongest combat force of the Wang family. Its overall strength is rated as "late stage of the Purple Mansion Realm". Its quality is very excellent and its strength far exceeds that of Wang Shouzong who is in the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. Even when facing a big boss in the Divine Power Realm,
Attacking, he can also resist and entangle for a period of time.
However, a guard puppet does not mean that it has no offensive capabilities.
As the saying goes, the best defense is offense.
The Wang Shou clan's attack power is also not weak.
As soon as he appeared, the Wang Shou clan felt Gong Yangce's targeting and threat to Wang Shouzhe.
"Bold! How dare you bully my lord!"
He roared violently, a red light flashed in his eyes, and a vast and majestic pressure suddenly burst out, mercilessly suppressing Gong Yangce.
A huge shadow of a mountain as thick and vast as Mount Tai suddenly appeared behind him. It was so majestic that it was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on its top, so that the air seemed to solidify.
"Boom!"
The two powerful forces collided, and a muffled sound was heard in the air.
Gongyang Ce's face turned pale, as if he was hit by an invisible force, and he took a few steps back, his eyes filled with horror: "What kind of puppet is this?"
Before he could finish his shock, Prince An also stepped forward to protect Wang Shouzhe and said sternly: "Gongyang Ce, if you persist in your obsession, I will kill you today!"
There was also a powerful aura of a Purple Mansion Realm monk rising from his body, majestic and majestic.
Behind him, a huge golden dragon-shaped shadow appeared. It was extremely fierce, noble, and powerful. It was a Canglong Dharma Appearance!
As one of the quasi-emperor's sons, Prince An is naturally a great genius in the Purple Mansion Realm. If he had not been gifted and powerful, he would not be qualified to compete with Prince Kang.
How could a person who might become Emperor Lingxu in the future be weak?
It's just that Prince An likes farming and has a peaceful temperament. He rarely fights with others, so he doesn't show off much.
Under the pressure of the two forces, Gongyang Ce's face turned even paler, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
He had little confidence in being able to deal with Wang Shouzhe's overly powerful puppet alone, and with Prince An in tow, he had no chance of winning!
For a moment, Gongyang Ce's whole body stiffened, and his momentum weakened little by little.
"Shou Zhe, since this guy won't listen, just kill him." Yao Chengchao said with a smile on the side, "Don't worry, I will testify for you. It was Gong Yangce who arrested him and committed suicide."
"Gong Yangce didn't make a big mistake. It would be a pity to kill him." Wang Shouzhe shook his head and said, "This man has great potential. In the future, he will definitely be a powerful person in the supernatural realm, a pillar-level figure of mankind. To kill him so easily,
Then when my daughter Wang Li Yao ascends to the throne of the Holy Land in the future, won’t she be missing a powerful subordinate? For this reason, let’s spare his life for the time being.”
Yao Chengchao's smile faltered.
Shouzhe, you really think far ahead. How do you know that your daughter will definitely become the Lord of the Holy Land? It seems as if the position of the Holy Son has already been reserved by Wang Liyao.
"Shouzhe, what should we do with him?" Prince An asked, "Should we arrest him first?"
"Brother Yao, please send him to visit the Immortal Dynasty." Wang Shouzhe said, "He can come back whenever he wants. Anyway, when he comes back, the dust has settled and there will be no trouble."
"you……"
Gong Yangce's frightened face showed a look of humiliation.
"Brother Cheng Chao, I paid for his boat ticket." As Wang Shouzhe spoke, he also took out a rope that shone with precious light. "In order to prevent him from clamoring to get off the boat early, I used this animal rope to tie him up."
Get up~"
His beast-tying rope is not simple. It can tie up seventh-level ferocious beasts and make continuous gains. It was specially bought to prevent Wang Lilong at home from being disobedient, so that it can be used to educate her.
"Hey, Shouzhe, you are indeed a thoughtful person, and you are quite well prepared." Yao Chengchao took the animal-tying rope, bumped it up and tied up Gongyang Ce, "Master Ce, I suggest you don't move around, otherwise
I’m really going to die on the spot today.”
Gong Yangce's face was full of humiliation, but he also understood that now Wang Shouzhe and the others would definitely not let him have another chance to return to Prince Kang.
If he dared to resist randomly, he would probably be killed on the spot by Prince An and the puppet.
Even Yao Chengchao, who seems to be loyal and honest, but is actually full of bad intentions, will take the opportunity to intervene.
"Wait a minute, Old Yao, why did you tie him up like this?" Wang Shouzhe looked at the familiar binding method, and his eyelids suddenly jumped up.
"Is there something wrong?" Yao Chengchao looked confused and walked around the tied Gongyang Ce and said, "I'm pretty good at tying. This is a rope skill I learned from a small and wild country on the frontier."
"There's nothing wrong, just feel free to do it." Wang Shouzhe was speechless and took out another bottle of potion and threw it to Yao Chengchao, "This is a high-grade anesthetic. Even if a real dragon eats it, his whole body will become soft.
It’s hard to move. This thing is very expensive, so use it sparingly..."
Yao Chengchao and Prince An both looked at Wang Shouzhe with strange eyes. How do you know this? Have you tried?
Unexpectedly, Shouzhe, who usually looks like a handsome gentleman, would actually carry these things with him? I heard that only certain special thieves...
"These are the alloy shackles I developed. Not only are they strong, they will tighten the more you struggle with them. There are also barbs in them..." Wang Shouzhe didn't know that their brain circuits had gone to the sky, and they were still taking things out one by one.
, there is only one purpose, not to let Gong Yangce have the chance to slip away.
The inexplicable grief and anger made Gongyang Cehao not faint.
Wang Shouzhe, are you a beast?
After Yao Chengchao finished cooking Gong Yangce, he temporarily threw it into the cramped mezzanine dark cabin.
Only then did everyone's attention turn to Zhao Zhikun and his wife.
After Zhao Zhikun and his wife saw Gong Yangce's fate with their own eyes, they were already frightened out of their wits and turned pale.
Without waiting for Wang Shouzhe to speak, Zhao Zhikun directly hugged Prince An's thigh: "Your Highness, whatever you say will be whatever you say. Don't ever leave me to Wang Shouzhe's disposal."
Wang Shouzhe's face turned dark, so what?
…
Before I knew it, it was three days later.
Today is the day of the great court meeting.
Since he succeeded to the throne, there have been numerous court meetings. However, there are not many great court meetings that Emperor Longchang looks forward to so much.
Today, I can finally see Wang Shouzhe, whom I have longed for.
Emperor Longchang had already thought in his heart that after the commendation was over, he must find a way to put on some shoes for Wang Shouzhe so that he could make a fool of himself in front of all the civil and military officials. Only in this way could he relieve his hatred.
"Old Yao~ tell me, what problems will I pose for Wang Shouzhe later?" There was still some time before the start of the Great Court Meeting, and Emperor Longchang was already a little impatient, and he excitedly began to think about "wearing small shoes three times".
Sixteen Strategies".
Lao Yao stood aside with a whisk in his hand, his mouth twitched when he heard it, and he stopped talking.
Your Majesty, have you forgotten how you overturned the car before? Are you so sure that Wang Shouzhe will obey? Don't mess around for a long time and get yourself into a trap again like before.
By then, it would be bad to lose both your wife and your troops.
