Zhao Yuan laughed.
"Zhao Ji has already been captured, so there's no need to hide it anymore."
Yan Qing saw that Zhao Yuan had agreed.
He then introduced,
"This young master is none other than the King of Liang,"
"Our trip to the capital this time is specifically to capture Zhao Ji."
When Zhao Ji heard that Zhao Yuan was actually a bandit from Liangshan,
He was stunned.
"You actually joined Liangshan?"
"But you arrested me,"
"It is I who wish to entrust the world to you,"
"The civil and military officials wouldn't agree to it either,"
"They will choose one of my princes to be the emperor."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "That's none of your concern."
"We have a way."
"Alright, let's wait here for Xue Yong and the others to arrive,"
"Yan Qing, go out for a moment,"
"Have those two guards bring in the guards who were knocked unconscious earlier."
Yan Qing saw that Qiu Xiang was still standing there, motionless.
"Qiuxiang, you take care of Ying'er,"
"I go out for a while."
Qiu Xiang stood there, stunned by what had happened inside the house.
Then he was stared at by Wu Song's cold eyes.
So frightened that I dared not move.
They were terrified that they would kill them to silence them.
Hearing Yan Qing's greeting,
He hurriedly ran to Cui Ying.
Zhao Ji thought for a moment,
"Zhao Yuan, I know that you Liangshan heroes are acting on behalf of Heaven,"
"He is also a loyal and righteous person,"
"I have already sent Chen Zongshan to offer you amnesty."
Chapter 1698 Pressing In relentlessly
"Did Chen Zongshan do something impolite?"
"Have I angered you heroes?"
"What official positions do you want?"
"I can give you anything."
"Stop dreaming. Do you think you can spare me just because of the assassination attempt back then?"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"Besides, if you were a good emperor,"
"I'll just be a wealthy man."
"But you, scoundrel, have brought misery to the people,"
"The country is about to cease to exist."
"Then I'll have no choice but to take his place."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Huizong panicked.
"I have misused some treacherous officials in the past,"
"That's why people have been displaced,"
"But I have already repented."
"If you heroes would let me go back,"
"I will definitely be a good emperor."
Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Ji, who had lost all trace of imperial authority, and sneered.
"Can your repentance erase all the suffering of the people?"
"Shi Xiu, if he says another word..."
“Give him a hard time.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiu
The hand gripping Zhao Ji's throat tightened involuntarily.
Zhao Ji immediately felt a sharp pain in his throat from being squeezed.
He nodded frantically.
This indicates that he is no longer speaking.
Shi Xiu then loosened his grip.
"Don't make trouble for yourself."
Zhao Ji breathed heavily.
He dared not speak again.
After waiting for a while,
Xue Yong and Shi Qian then entered with two personal guards.
Xue Yong reported, "I have already sent someone to deliver a message outside the city."
"The city's personal guards have all been dispersed on the streets outside,"
"I'm just afraid of attracting attention,"
"It would be bad if they all rushed into Fanlou at once."
Zhao Yuan turned to Cui Ying and said,
"Does the west building have a back door?"
Cui Ying had already been gently explained by Yan Qing.
Calm down,
Moreover, after Zhao Yuan's plan succeeded...
Then she could be with Yan Qing openly and legitimately.
Therefore, he cooperated fully and nodded.
"Yes, the back door is in a quiet alley,"
"I usually go out through the back door."
Zhao Yuan nodded.
"Alright, Miss Ying'er, could you please give Xue Yong directions?"
Yan Qing hurriedly said, "Does Your Majesty intend to bring people into the palace now?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Many of my personal guards have come."
"The palace should be a better place to hide."
Yan Qing shook his head and said, "I've also been observing the palace across the street from the West Tower these past few days."
"The palace is very large; there must be many eunuchs and palace maids inside,"
"If we enter the palace now, we might be easily discovered and the news might leak out."
"Why not stay at Fanlou for one night?"
"Wait until tomorrow morning to enter the palace,"
"Then we'll lead the troops and seize all the officials who are going to court."
"At that time, some news will leak out."
"Without a leader, we are not afraid of causing trouble."
Cui Ying also said shyly,
“He used to stay overnight at my place often,”
"No one will suspect anything if he doesn't go back."
Zhao Yuan stared at Zhao Ji and said,
"You're not going back to the palace, is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji
I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.
If we return to the palace,
Perhaps then he would have a chance to call for help.
Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Ji's expression.
“Zhao Ji, we’re acquaintances now.”
"I advise you to be honest and behave yourself,"
"No one in this world can escape from the clutches of us."
"If you cooperate with me obediently, you will abdicate in my favor,"
"I might spare your life."
"If you don't know what's good for you,"
"They'll only suffer more,"
"In the end, he lost his life."
Shi Xiu also tightened his grip with his five fingers, threateningly saying,
"If I exert any force, you'll be a corpse."
"Without my king's order, no one can save you."
Zhao Ji was choked.
He panicked immediately.
"It's alright, it's alright,"
“My personal eunuch knows I’ve come to Fanlou.”
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "In that case, it's safest for us to spend the night at Fanlou."
"Then Xue Yong, you can tell them all to go back first,"
"Meet here at midnight tomorrow."
"Then you personally lead one person,"
