Tao Ziqi's voice was calm and indifferent, but it had infinite weight in the hearts of everyone in Northern Qi.
"This bastard..."
Hearing these words, all the members of the Northern Qi circle felt heavy-hearted and inevitably a little angry. Tao Ziqi's words were extremely arrogant. He had concealed them for so long and finally revealed his domineering nature. It is the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It was clearly something that was not good for Northern Qi, but in Tao Ziqi's words, it was as if it was for the good of Northern Qi. It seemed that only taking away Zhou Xuan's life was already a concession and mercy from the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty.
But...
Everyone in Qingzhou knew what happened between the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty and the Shang Kingdom. At that time, the Shang Kingdom was almost destroyed, with countless casualties. In contrast, the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty today only asked Northern Qi to hand over Zhou Xuan... and it turned out to be a real one. Kindness!
For a moment, the entire audience was silent!
There were countless people in the Monarch Mansion and Maple Leaf City with palpitating hearts and complicated expressions. They couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhou Xuan, and there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes.
They had heard about this matter before. When they saw that Bei Qi would rather die than hand over Zhou Xuan, they felt indescribably agitated and very proud. Now facing Tao Ziqi's threat, their thoughts But it is a complete change.
Human hearts are fickle, let alone when you are about to die.
It is true that maybe the people of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty were at fault in this matter. However, no matter what the reason was, it is a definite fact that Zhou Xuan killed the people of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty. He should pay the price and pay with his own life.
A life for a life, as a matter of course.
Many disciples in Maple Leaf City and the Monarch Mansion realized that Tao Ziqi was definitely not joking, and had no choice but to waver. If Zhou Xuan was handed over, the integrity of the entire Northern Qi could be preserved... so why not?
You can't bring down the entire Northern Qi Dynasty because of one person, right?
More and more people have similar thoughts and look at Zhou Xuan. Their status and status may not be very high, so they cannot say it clearly, but their eyes prove everything.
The world becomes quieter.
Li Cangqiong and other figures in the circle naturally have keen senses, and they clearly felt the gazes of countless people, and their faces became increasingly ugly. Of course, they could know what the practitioners in the Monarch Mansion and Maple Leaf City were thinking, but they could not get angry.
One person's misfortune affects all the fish in the pond.
Others naturally do not want to bear the responsibility for Zhou Xuan's troubles. Others have no friendship with Zhou Xuan, so they are naturally willing to hand Zhou Xuan over. This is human nature.
but……
Do you really hand it over?
Other figures in the circle may hesitate, but Li Cangqiong is the first one not to agree.
"Junior brother, don't be afraid."
Li Cangqiong breathed out secretly, glanced at Zhou Xuan, showed a peaceful smile, patted Zhou Xuan's head, and spoke quietly, his voice was indescribably reassuring.
"The Great Zhou Holy Dynasty has added insult to injury today. Even if Lord Luo hands you over, it is only human nature. They don't have much need to protect you, but you can rest assured that Qiyun Holy Mountain will never let go of any family member."
"If things really get out of hand, senior brother will take you to kill everyone."
Li Cangqiong looked at Zhou Xuan and spoke very sincerely. Apparently he was afraid that Zhou Xuan would be agitated in his heart when he noticed so many people's eyes and was abandoned by Luo Wen.
Zhou Xuan was slightly startled, feeling indescribable gratitude, and his mood was complicated and difficult to put into words.
Of course Zhou Xuan understands what the senior brother is thinking.
To be honest... Senior Brother's worries are unnecessary. He can indeed feel the gazes of the disciples of the Monarch Mansion, who seem to want to expel him. He can also understand how much pressure and responsibility Lord Luo is bearing at the moment.
Under such circumstances.
Even if Lord Luo hands himself over, it is understandable and there is nothing much to say.
Zhou Xuan naturally had no other ideas.
Even so, after hearing the words of the senior brother, he could not help but feel excited and grateful. His mood immediately improved a lot. He felt the big hand of the senior brother and no longer felt the slightest trace of panic. , smiled and nodded.
Li Cangqiong also smiled calmly, then turned around and looked at Lord Luo.
If this had just happened, he believed that Luo Wen would not have hesitated at all. The existence of the Medicine Saint and the Old Mountain Master would have definitely made the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty fearful and not dare to act rashly.
but.
Today, the situation has completely changed.
Due to the previous forced appearance, the old mountain master's injuries have not healed and it is impossible to fight. The Medicine Saint died in the battle today. In addition, the attack of the demonic path was too sudden. At this moment, people's hearts are in turmoil. Everyone can't take care of themselves. What about others?
Without its two most powerful trump cards, Yufeng Zunsheng and Yaosheng, facing the threat of the Great Zhou Holy Dynasty, Northern Qi seemed extremely weak and unable to resist no matter how hard it tried.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Luo Wen not to hesitate.
Li Cangqiong believed that if Luo Wen were a human being, he would never let Zhou Xuan go easily due to Luo Wen's character. However, Luo Wen was not only Luo Wen, but also the Lord of Luo, and the one who controlled thousands of practitioners in the Northern Qi Dynasty. life.
You have to be cautious in everything you say and do.
If he insists on not handing over Zhou Xuan, the entire Northern Qi Dynasty will be destroyed. As the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, how could Luo Wen not care about this at all, how could he not hesitate?
This is normal.
Li Cangqiong even felt that it was the right decision for Luo Wen to hand over Zhou Xuan now, so he did not feel any resentment at all, but watched everything silently, waiting for the answer.
The world became quieter, like... a dead silence.
Suddenly, a stream of light pierced through the air and came in front of everyone in a moment. This person was a young man. He exuded the aura of the magic circle, but his breathing was extremely rapid. He seemed to have encountered something, so he was very nervous. .
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be attracted. Looking at the attire of this person, they immediately recognized his identity. This person was probably a major guard guarding the border.
"Report, report to the monarch."
The young man glanced at Tao Ziqi in the sky with great fear, then panted heavily and raised his hands towards Luo Wen: "Report to the monarch, an army of thousands of people has come to station outside the pass, and the leader... I'm afraid it's Zhou The king of the country!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were filled with waves!
The young man was the guard guarding the border pass. He obviously saw the scene outside the pass and came to report it immediately. However, Tao Ziqi moved faster, so most of them already knew about it. However, his report completely broke the silence. .
