Chapter 492 Are These All the Cards You Have?
"Sister-in-law..." Shan Yu was suddenly silenced by Song Qingci's yelling.
"Shan Yu, if you are stupid, you have to admit it! Don't shout anymore. Today's situation has developed to this point, and it's a life-and-death situation. You brought this situation upon yourself. Don't expect anyone to save you. I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
"But you don't have to worry. If King Huai really wants your life, I will definitely avenge you. I will make him pay you back a thousand times for all the harm he has done to you. Believe me, I will do what I say. I will never break my promise."
Shan Yu, who was already afraid, became even more frightened after hearing Song Qingci's words.
The pain in her body plus the fear in her heart stimulated her so much that she fainted.
King Huai glanced at the fainted Shan Yu with disgust in his eyes!
"Take her away!" She is such a waste! I had originally planned to use her to contain Lu Xin and Shan Liyi, but I didn't expect her to be so useless! The daughter of the general's mansion is nothing more than this!
After saying this, King Huai turned his head away immediately. It was really unlucky to look at him any longer!
He sorted himself out and suppressed his impulses several times before he recovered a little.
At this moment, the ground shook slightly, followed by a burst of orderly and heavy footsteps.
For a moment, everyone looked in the same direction.
People on both sides hope that it is their own people who come this time.
Soon, everyone saw who was coming.
All of them were soldiers in black armor, each wearing a Yaksha mask on his face, and each holding a sword shining with cold light in his hand. They looked like the ghost soldiers from the underworld.
It was eerie and strange, so frightening that people dared not speak.
When King Huai saw the person coming, he couldn't hide the smile on his face!
It's his man!
Hahahaha, his Black Armor Army finally came in!
As for the so-called Imperial Guards, they have not been seen since then. It seems that they will never come again.
Now that his own people have arrived, King Huai feels more confident!
He shouted at Song Qingci, "Princess Anguo! You can ignore Madam Lu's life or death, but do you not care about the lives of these people at all?" King Huai looked meaningfully at the other female relatives who were controlled behind him.
Those were all families of high-ranking officials in the court.
The lowest grade is above the fourth grade.
King Huai simply gave up on those below the fourth rank.
The position is too low, there's no need to bother with it!
"They are all the close relatives of the officials behind you! As long as Fourth Brother writes me a decree of succession, and you, Shan Li, and Lu Xin all submit to me, I can release them unharmed."
"Not only that, their husbands and fathers can also keep their original positions. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?!"
Most of the women who were captured behaved in a similar way to Shan Yu.
They never imagined that they would end up being held hostage after just coming to a banquet.
However, there are a few old ladies among them who can keep their composure.
They have experienced too many storms in their lives, so this kind of scene is nothing in their eyes.
"King Huai, don't you think what you said is funny?"
"You are the one who arrested them, and you are also the one who wanted to kill them. What does it have to do with me?"
"And you only plan to use these few people to make my brother give up the throne to you. Aren't you too fanciful?"
Want to blackmail me morally?!
joke!
She has no morals, what kind of moral blackmail is this?
Moreover, Song Qingci did not take the newly arrived Black Armor Army seriously.
King Huai never expected that he would get such an answer and almost choked to the point of vomiting blood.
How could this woman be so unreasonable? Didn't she see her people coming?
"My Lords, you heard it with your own ears. This Princess Anguo doesn't take your lives or the lives of the women in your families seriously at all!"
"King Huai, what you said is so unreasonable!" Song Qingci interrupted King Huai.
This old man, unable to morally blackmail her, wanted to morally blackmail others. Could she let him succeed? !
"Today is my brother's birthday banquet. Everyone should be united and happy. However, you were reported and people knew the true identity of you and your son, so you became angry and embarrassed."
"Not only did you want to rebel, you also wanted to take my brother's place. You even tried to use the families of the ministers in the court to force them. You are the one who caused the trouble, and you are also the one who wanted to kill people. What does this have to do with me and my brother?!"
"If anyone here dies today, it's all your fault. What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with my brother?"
"Princess Anguo is such a clever talker!" King Huai boasted that he was a good speaker. But in front of Song Qingci, he couldn't gain any advantage in the argument.
It's really frustrating.
"It's not that I'm good at talking, but what I said is the truth."
Song Qingci said this while looking behind him.
The adults whose families were detained all looked unhappy, and no one stood up to say anything inappropriate.
"My lords, I know your families have been held hostage. You must be worried and sad. But you also need to think clearly. In this situation, even if you really compromise because you are worried about your families, can you really guarantee that you can get the results you want?"
"Is there a possibility that even if you compromise now, what awaits you will be an even more cruel result?"
Song Qing's words are all here. Those who can understand them will understand them.
If they really don't understand, then it will be useless no matter how much you say.
After Song Qing finished speaking, several adults who had originally thought of compromising immediately became more clear-headed.
Yes, if you persist now, at least you will be known as a loyal hero. If you betray now, you will be a fence-sitter.
Since ancient times, those who sit on the fence have never had a good ending.
Moreover, their Emperor remained extremely calm from beginning to end.
There was no sense of urgency that the throne was about to be lost.
He didn't even say a word.
Looking at both sides, the scales in everyone's hearts seemed to be tipping in the same direction.
"Fifth brother, is this your trump card?"
Emperor Chengtian, who had not spoken for a long time, glanced at the Xuanjia Army who had just come in. There was no fear in his tone, but rather a sense of calmness.
"Fourth brother! What are you talking about?!" King Huai looked at Emperor Chengtian, not understanding what he meant by saying this at this time.
"The 30,000 troops outside the city, the Black Armor Army inside the imperial city, and the hostages. Is this all the cards you have?"
