"Uncle, do you want me to apologize to this kid?" Chen Hui's eyes widened, and the look he looked at Zhu Su was filled with resentment and hatred. "This kid ruined my big business, I wish I could cut him into pieces..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dingbian and Yao Guangxiao both frowned. Zhu Su also sneered: "Chen Hui, you and Zhang Ren are just two crooks trying to shake the foundation of our Ming Dynasty? You are really overestimating your own capabilities."
"Zhang Dingbian, you also have a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the world, and I trust you. The remnants of the Chen family have no power at all, and brothers Zhang Ren and Zhang Li have already been crowned heads. I can exchange Chen Hui's life for you, Zhang Dingbian." My father, the Emperor Hongwu, should be willing to go to the northern Xinjiang and fight for our Chinese enemies for ten years."
Zhang Dingbian looked happy, but Zhu Su suddenly changed the topic: "However, even if my father agrees, I am not willing!"
"This woman is ambitious and shows no remorse. If we let her go, how will I convince the public in the future?"
"Then how are you doing?" Zhang Dingbian said with a dark face.
"It's no big deal. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided." Zhu Su looked at Chen Hui and sneered. "This woman attempted to commit an assassination attempt. I want to beat her with a hundred military sticks. Isn't it too much?"
Zhu Su thought that he was not a good person, and Chen Hui was so resentful of him that he naturally wanted to find a way to kill her.
Although this woman has no ability, her heart is cruel, her hands are vicious, and her methods are despicable. If this woman does not die, how can I feel at ease?
It has always been possible to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
Zhang Dingbian also looked embarrassed. Frankly speaking, Chen Hui's methods were both robbing and assassinating. He also colluded with Zhang Ren and Zhang Li to invade the Han territory with Japanese pirates. Although Zhang Dingbian had no intention of surrendering to Zhu Ming, he was very disgusted when he saw that the Han people colluded with the Japanese pirates to cause chaos.
However, who calls this Chen Hui after Chen Youliang? Chen Youliang is his sworn brother. How can he ignore his descendants when they are in trouble?
The young prince of the Ming Dynasty wanted to hit her with a hundred military sticks. He obviously wanted to find another way to kill her... Who of the ordinary women could receive a hundred military sticks?
But now he has no weapons or strong horses in his hands. Looking around at the brave ranger brothers he brought with him, it was obvious that they no longer had the will to fight.
Moreover, as the King of Wu said, the soldiers surrounding him were either loyal queens of China or good men who had driven away the Tartars from the north. Even if such a good man dies, he should be buried in horse leather in northern Xinjiang. If their lives were really killed because of this woman Chen Hui... Zhang Dingbian really couldn't bear it.
"King Wu." Zhang Dingbian cupped his hands towards Zhu Su. "This girl is just a weak woman. Since she made a mistake, I, the elder, will naturally bear the responsibility."
"I heard that thousands of people were killed because of their rebellion. She really deserves to receive these one hundred sticks. But if she dies after receiving one hundred sticks, our old Zhang will not be able to explain to her old friend. .”
"It's better than this. I'll take the hundred sticks on my behalf. Then let this girl keep vigil for the victims for three days. After that, we will take her to Goryeo to find her brother, and we will never let her enter the pass... What do you think?"
"Brother Zhang?"
"uncle?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Hui and all the rangers were extremely shocked.
Zhu Su was also surprised. Even if Zhang Dingbian had an amazing physique with a hundred military sticks, it would still be difficult to bear under normal circumstances... Could it be that Zhang Dingbian wanted to die on his own behalf?
Zhu Su hesitated. Yao Guangxiao tugged at the hem of Zhu Su's clothes: "Your Highness, please stop intimidating me. If you cut it off, I'll cut it off."
Zhu Su understood what Yao Guangxiao meant, and Zhang Dingbian was very determined to save Chen Hui. If he continues to be aggressive, I'm afraid he will take a risk.
Judging from the look in Yao Guangxiao's eyes, I'm afraid it also hints that Zhu Su wants to take this opportunity to directly deal with Zhang Dingbian... Rather than letting the tiger go back to the mountain, it is better to cut it off immediately. After all, if Zhang Dingbian dies, people like Chen Hui will lose their backbone, and they will be the meat on the chopping block.
But when dealing with thieves like Chen Hui, there is no need to pay attention to morality.
"Gou'er, go ahead and execute this layman Zhang." Zhu Su thought for a while, then turned and ordered the dog next to him.
The dog was stunned for a moment, Zhu Su gave him a look and whispered a few words in a low voice. He nodded and saluted Zhu Su again. Someone went to get the military stick and asked him to take it.
The rangers around Zhang Dingbian wanted to stop him, but the dogs were getting more and more powerful these days, so Zhang Dingbian repelled them loudly. Therefore, the dog passed through the siege of the king's guards unscathed and came to Zhang Dingbian's horse.
"Come on." Zhang Dingbian was still generous and exposed his upper body openly, exposing his unsuspecting back to the dog.
"...I'm offended." Gou'er was also intimidated by Zhang Dingbian's spirit, and his tone unconsciously became respectful and admiring. He thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, layman Zhang, His Highness secretly told you not to seriously hurt a Chinese hero like layman just because of a mere thief..."
Zhang Dingbian was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Although your Highness is young, he is a person who cares about China! He will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"No need to be merciful, even a hundred sticks can't hurt me, Zhang Dingbian! It's a pity that he was born a few years later. Otherwise, we would have to be sworn brothers with him!"
As he spoke, he nodded towards Zhu Su from a distance, but Zhu Su was a little confused.
The dog also nodded. He also turned to look at Zhu Su. At this time, he was a little annoyed that he was of Jurchen origin.
A ranger took off his clothes and spread them on the ground in front of Zhang Dingbian. Zhang Dingbian lay on top of the clothes. Chen Hui also wanted to persuade Zhang Dingbian to kill the dog to break out of the encirclement, but several rangers with unkind expressions directly separated her from Zhang Dingbian. So the dog swung a military stick as thick as a child's arm and hit Zhang Dingbian hard.
The whole place was silent, and all that could be heard was the sound of the military stick hitting the iron tower-like body. Zhu Su was a bit frightened when he saw the military sticks hitting him one after another. He asked himself that he would never be able to bear this crime. But this Dingbian actually took all these military sticks with force. From the beginning to the end, he still pursed his lips and didn't scream.
"This fixed edge is indeed a character." Yao Guangxiao's eyes flashed with light. He approached Zhu Su and whispered: "Your Highness, you tell the dog to be merciful. Is this really okay?"
"If such an outstanding person deliberately goes against His Highness, Your Highness will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating from now on. Since he is unwilling to surrender to our Ming Dynasty, from the perspective of this poor monk, it is better to kill him..."
"Monk, your idea is safe." Zhu Su looked at Zhang Dingbian who was being tortured, with light flashing in his eyes. "However, it is rare for me in China to have such a brave and invincible hero like Zhang Dingbian, who also knows the justice of the nation. If he were to be killed with a stick, I would really not be able to bear it."
"We in China have no shortage of wise men, nor heroes. However, there are too many wise men who focus on the fame and fortune of this world; too many heroes have squandered their blood on the wars among their own clans. above."
"The Chinese have been the greatest nation in the world for thousands of years. We have lived in the Central Plains and rarely coveted other people's lands. We only wish to cultivate in the pass and pass on the incense of our ancestors... Such a nation has always been coveted by others. , was kidnapped?"
"In ancient times, there were five chaotic Chinese, the Yuan people took over before them, and now there are the northern captives and the southern Japanese..." Zhu Su slowly turned his head and looked at the thoughtful Yao Guangxiao with burning eyes.
"Monk, I am thinking sometimes."
"If the wise men and heroes of China all unite with the outside world and bring all the land in this world into the hands of our Chinese clan, we will truly unify the universe..."
"In that way, can we truly have eternal peace, so that our Chinese surnames will no longer suffer the tragedy of shattering mountains and rivers and sinking China?"
