Chapter 56 Daughter as a bargaining chip
"Hmph, you thieves in the world, what kind of trust can you have?" Zhu Houzhao sneered.
"Brother Lin!" Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liang Hong suddenly shouted coldly, and Lin Pingzhi came forward and asked, "Brother Liang, what are you doing?"
"Brother Linghu!" Liang Hong called another name immediately. Linghu Chong walked to him without realizing it and said in confusion: "Brother Liang, how are you doing?"
"Two brothers, please come together and kill the remaining two guards beside Brother Zhu. However, please don't hurt Brother Zhu!" Liang Hong said.
"What's the difficulty?" Hearing this, Lin Ping laughed loudly, and rushed forward strangely. With a sword, he had already pierced the guard on Zhu Houzhao's left. The guard fell down. At the same time, only a dragon roar sounded. Linghu Chong suddenly drew his sword, but leaned forward. The sword flashed suddenly, so fast that his eyes couldn't see clearly. Then he saw him decisively put the sword in his arms again, standing next to Liang Hong with pride, as if nothing had happened. However, when he looked carefully, he found that the guard on Zhu Houzhao's right suddenly covered his throat tightly, and then his eyes widened, and blood flowed between his fingers. In the end, he could only fall to the ground helplessly and struggled to die.
"Oh, you thieves are too bullying. I will die with you today!" Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao was so angry that she clenched her teeth, her whole body trembled, and she clenched her sword and was about to rush forward.
"Brother Zhu, how do you ask yourself about your martial arts compared to these two guards?" However, at this time, Liang Hong interrupted Zhu Houzhao's words.
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but her expression was obviously admitting that her martial arts skills were not as good as those two guards.
"Brother Zhu's martial arts cannot even catch up with these two guards, so how can you die with us? If you really want to die with us, your best choice now is actually suicide, do you know?" Liang Hong looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.
"Then, then I will die for you! If I die, you can't live!" Zhu Houzhao spoke, raised his sword and placed it on his neck, pretending to commit suicide, but after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't take action. His embarrassing and contradictory expression was really annoying and funny. For a moment, everyone snorted in their hearts, wondering whether this emperor was afraid of life and fearing death, nostalgia, and unwilling to die. If it were the children of the world, there wouldn't be so nonsense. A soldier could be killed and not humiliated. When he came to a critical moment, he would wipe his neck decisively, without blinking his eyes. How could he be as hypocritical as Zhu Houzhao, want to commit suicide, but dare not be laughed at.
"Don't laugh, there's nothing funny about it," Liang Hong frowned and looked at everyone, then said slowly: "It's better to die than to live. Brother Zhu did a good job. If you really wiped this sword, Liang will really look down on you!"
"Hmph, Liang Shanbo, don't be hypocritical. What do you want? Tell me out quickly!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liang Hong coldly and asked.
"I said, I want to trouble Brother Zhu to take us out of Beijing," Liang Hong said.
"Don't dream, I won't take you out!" Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.
"Oh, this is a bit troublesome," Liang Hong sighed with distress when he saw this situation, and then asked Xiao Yu'er in his arms, "Xiao Yu'er, the eldest brother is unwilling to help his father, why don't you persuade him, okay?"
"Okay," Xiao Yu'er slid from Liang Hong's arms to the ground, and then raised her feet and ran towards Zhu Houzhao.
At that moment, when seeing this situation, everyone present was anxious and worried that Xiao Yu'er would be in danger. Only Ren Yingying frowned slightly, looked at Liang Hong with a meaningful look, then nodded silently.
"Big brother, just help dad, okay?" At this time, Xiao Yu'er had already run to Zhu Houzhao.
When Zhu Houzhao saw Xiao Yu'er running over, she seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She didn't hear what Xiao Yu'er was saying at all. He only felt that Xiao Yu'er emitted a dazzling light from head to toe, which was hope for life! So, he decisively held Xiao Yu'er in his arms, and put his sword in front of her. Then he smiled and stared at Liang Hong and others and said, "You dare to come back, I will kill her immediately!"
The dog emperor indeed took Xiao Yu'er hostage, and for a moment, everyone was shocked and moved.
However, at this moment, Liang Hong smiled and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "So, Brother Zhu agrees to this deal?"
"What deal?" Zhu Houzhao was shocked, but then he reacted. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Yu'er in his arms, couldn't help but put down the sword, and asked Xiao Yu'er with concern: "Little sister, I'm sorry, my elder brother didn't scare you, right?"
"No, I know my elder brother won't hurt me, Xiao Yu'er is not afraid," Xiao Yu'er said to Zhu Houzhao with a smile.
When Zhu Houzhao heard the little girl's words, she blushed without realizing it, but then she picked up Xiao Yu'er and said to Xiao Yu'er: "Little sister, then next, the eldest brother will hold you like this and then send your dad and the others out of the city. Can you see? Don't make trouble, okay?"
"Well, okay, Xiao Yu'er likes the eldest brother and won't make trouble," Xiao Yu'er smiled with her lips pursed. The words made Zhu Houzhao's face turn red again, and her heart moved. She unconsciously stroked Xiao Yu'er's back, feeling loving and helpless.
At the moment, when everyone saw this situation, they all woke up and looked at Liang Hong without realizing that they were peeking at him. They felt that this person was really strange and were willing to use his daughter as bargaining chips. They didn't know how to comment on him for a while.
However, I have to say that in the current situation, if Zhu Houzhao compromises, there seems to be only one way. Everyone has to admire Liang Hong's wit and decisiveness.
"Kill--" At this moment, a shocking shout of killing came from the outer edge of the imperial village. Hearing the sound, I wonder how many soldiers and horses came over, and everyone couldn't help panic.
However, at this moment, Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, and Lin Pingzhi both agreed and bullied themselves at the same time, surrounding Zhu Houzhao. However, Zhu Houzhao held Xiao Yu'er calmly, held the sword tightly in her hand, and glanced at everyone and said, "Come with me, I will open the way for you!"
"Original Master, be careful of the dog emperor's fraud!" Seeing this situation, Lan Fenghuang hurriedly said to Ren Yingying.
"Hmph," Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and looked at Lan Fenghuang, and snorted coldly, "Do you think I am a thief in the world, and you can speak without trust? I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor wants to speak with a golden word. Since I have said it, I will never regret it again!"
