Valley Emperor

With an uneasy mood, Zeng Ziyun walked into the big brick and wood house in front of him, which was the council hall in the mouths of the bandits.

At the entrance of the Council Hall, there were more than ten guards holding spears in the left and right rows. These guards looked like they were only half-sized, and the spears in their hands were taller than them.

However, although these guards looked young, they stood as loose as a pine, with a resolute expression, standing at the door like iron pillars, and did not move.

When the young bandits brought Zeng Ziyun past them, the teenage guards didn't even look at them, as if they didn't exist, let alone tilt their heads, and didn't even turn their eyes. .

Seeing these young guards made Zeng Ziyun a little surprised. Although he was young and had no experience in fighting, he was defeated and taken prisoner the first time he went to the battlefield, but that didn't mean he had no vision.

He saw at a glance that these juvenile guards must have been trained for the time, otherwise they would not be able to achieve this level at all.

Don't look at the simple line up, let alone they just simply don't move, but that's it, that's not something ordinary people can do.

For example, the young and strong bandits who brought him here are not as good as these half-sized guards. Although these young and strong bandits look tall and sturdy, Zeng Ziyun knows that these bandits with knives are just It's just a bandit, not only has a sloppy demeanor, but also walks crookedly, with a hunched back, and there is a bit of a soldier's appearance there.

Not to mention these young and strong bandits, even the soldiers under his command, who can stand as loose as the young guards in front of him, are very few.

These young people are strangely tight.

Surprised, Zeng Ziyun stepped into the gate of the Council Hall. After entering, the first thing he saw was a young man sitting at the top, wearing a yellow dragon robe.

He had met this person once three days ago, and it was Li Xuan, the pseudo-Tang emperor who Su Jiakang had been obsessed with and wanted to catch.

At this time, the young pseudo-emperor opposite seemed to be looking at him, and he kept staring at him.

At this moment, Zeng Ziyun suddenly heard a loud shout: "Bold madman, don't hurry down and kneel to meet my emperor!"

Zeng Ziyun turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a goatee with a dissatisfied look on his face.

He also met this person three days ago. This is the fake Tang Prime Minister Liu Bagou. Like the fake emperor Li Xuan, he is also well-known in the surrounding prefectures and counties, and his big rebels are everywhere.

After hearing Liu Bagou's words, Zeng Ziyun remained motionless and did not intend to kneel at all.

Although he surrendered and became a prisoner, he is still a top five thousand households of the Ming Dynasty, and an official of the imperial court.

Even when he was defeated and surrendered in Luohu Valley three days ago, all the people around him, including those personal soldiers, knelt down, but he didn't kneel!

The man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel?

Absolutely not!

So at that time, he lay stubbornly and persistently on the ground, and didn't get up and kneel until the last moment!

Today, he still insists on his own ideas and will never kneel!

Even if Liu Bagou looked at him with sharp eyes, even if the bandits around him who escorted him over glared at him, he still remained unmoved.

He has his own pride, and this pride cannot be easily broken by a group of rebels, unless someone puts a knife on his neck!

He raised his head arrogantly, with a look of disdain on his face!

At this moment, a bandit beside him pulled out half of the waist knife in his hand, and then snorted coldly. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was obvious. If you don't kneel, the knife will be directly placed on your neck.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Ziyun showed a look of grief and indignation, and then his knees couldn't help but knelt down.

At the same time, I meditated in my heart, my pride is still there, if there was no knife on my neck, I would never kneel in front of a rebel no matter what.

Looking at Zeng Ziyun, whose facial expressions are quite rich, Li Xuan felt a little strange. How can I say this? I feel like a villain brother who is using tough means to persecute a good family woman.

When did you become such a ghost and become a villain!

Are you saying you did something wrong?

Absolutely not!

It's all Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan's fault. If it wasn't for these bastards, how could he become this nondescript emperor, if he hadn't become the bandit emperor, how could he become like this.

Son of a bitch, sooner or later I will cut you all down!

After a mess of thoughts flashed in his heart, Li Xuan saw what Liu Bagou was going to say again. He didn't need to guess to know that what Liu Bagou was about to say was definitely not a good thing, it was nothing more than forcing Zeng Ziyun to say something against his will. , such as long live the emperor and so on.

Li Xuan immediately pressed his hand down, motioning Liu Bagou not to talk nonsense, to be your prime minister, and not to mess around all day.

Immediately, he said, "Zeng Qianhu, how are you doing these days?"

Hearing Li Xuan speak, Zeng Ziyun once again raised his head to look at the fake emperor Li Xuan, and found that the young fake emperor was much friendlier than Liu Bagou and the others, especially the bandits with knives behind him. He was determined not to speak.

But at this time, he changed his mind, and immediately said, "Hmph, this official can't die!"

After saying this, he seemed to have found the confidence of being an official of the imperial court, although he was still kneeling, but he continued to say: "You are so bold, you dare to rebel, commit crimes. If you commit such a crime of great treason, are you not afraid of being beheaded by the court and raiding your home, and implicated in the nine clans?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the discussion hall, and in the laughter, Bai Yunqi stepped forward and snorted coldly: "My wife, children, parents, more than 300 people in Lijia Village died tragically at the hands of the Ming army, now you Tell me about the nine clans, haha, there are still clansmen in my place for you?"

Zeng Ziyun said, "If you committed a big crime of treason, you deserved it!"

As soon as Zeng Ziyun finished speaking, the bandit watching him took a step forward, and even pulled out his knife and put it on Zeng Ziyun's neck: "You say it again, who deserves it? Before I entered the mountain, father Mom died of starvation, and the only younger brother died later in the hands of your officers and soldiers. You told Lao Tzu that you deserved what you deserved, believe it or not, Lao Tzu has now slashed you with a knife!"

Hearing these words, especially when the coolness of the steel knife could be felt on his neck, Zeng Ziyun suddenly lost his proud expression, and hurriedly lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing that several people in the audience were agitated, Li Xuan said directly, "Get down!"

The bandit heard Li Xuan speak, so he put away the knife, and then stepped back, mumbling something at the same time.

Li Xuan said at this meeting, "Zeng Qianhu, I think you are also a sensible person and should understand your own situation, so I won't say more. I asked you to come here today, I just want to ask you a question!"

Zeng Ziyun is now considered to be smart. He did not directly refute, and then scolded some rebels or the like, but said: "What?"

At this time, Li Xuan nodded slightly towards Liu Bagou, and then Liu Bagou, who was beside him, said, "My emperor appreciates your talents, and I don't want you to get caught in the dust. As long as you are willing to submit to my Tang Dynasty and serve my emperor, all the princes and princes are welcome. Give!
