Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 603 Guessing the Riddle
It was not Zhao Rui's personal majesty that made Hao Zhao, a man with extraordinary martial arts skills, kneel and kowtow on the ground.

What makes him kneel on the ground like a dog is the morals of the world and the imperial power.

Hao Zhao didn't compromise with Zhao Rui, begging for mercy, but he couldn't resist the world and the imperial power.

Not to mention him, even Li Xiuyuan deeply understands that if he dares to kill a prince, there is no other way to go except rebellion, but for Hao Zhao, who has a family, parents, relatives and friends It is more difficult to make him rebel than to kill him.

Even if his martial arts are so powerful that he can kill all the people in the entire station, and silence them all.

so what?

The younger brother of the current official family, King Yue of the Song Dynasty, was assassinated in a post station near the official road. Can the court not be shocked?Can we investigate thoroughly?

Headhunters from the six doors, some mages enshrined by the court, and people who practice Taoism, it is easy to find the murderer.

Because he understood, Hao Zhaocai knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

And the most important thing is that this Zhao Rui has a crazy personality and is not afraid of death threats at all. Instead of being afraid of Hao Zhao's knife resting on his neck, he grabbed his knife and sent it up by himself.

If Hao Zhao hadn't pulled back his strength at that time, Zhao Rui would have committed suicide.

It was precisely because Li Xiuyuan saw all these things that he kept frowning and thinking, hoping to come up with a perfect plan.

It can not only protect the Hao Zhao family, but also prevent Zhao Rui from hating them.

The surrogate death method is the most secure spell that Li Xiuyuan feels.

Because no one holds grudges against the dead.

"You kowtowed well. This king is in a much better mood." Zhao Rui stood up and walked slowly in front of Hao Zhao.

"My lord, be careful." Mr. Liu was shocked, and hurriedly commanded the guards to protect him.

"Go away." Zhao Rui kicked away Mr. Liu and several guards: "I don't want protection from you trash."

The guard next to him looked fearful and retreated timidly.

Zhao Rui walked up to Hao Zhao, patted his face and said, "This king knows that you really want to kill me, but this king also knows that you don't dare, because there are countless times to kill this king with your martial arts." Opportunity, but you still didn't do it, because the reason is very simple, my surname is Zhao, Zhao's official family
Dear Zhao, you pariah have a good brain and know that the price of killing this king is unbearable. "

"Of course, if you want to change your mind, it's not too late now. My king's neck is here, and the knife is still in your hand. The guards of this king have been dismissed. If you kill me, you can take your wife with you." Fly away."

Zhao Rui had a cold smile on his face: "It's just that the surname is Zhao, where can your family go?"

"You said you would let us go." Hao Zhao said a few words through the gap between his teeth: "If you go back on your word, I will kill you immediately."

"Haha, that's right. I didn't say that I would let you go. I just said that I can consider it. For the sake of your kowtow just now, I can give you a chance. Well, think about it. If you have it, you can Play a game with me, if you win, I will spare your wife and let you

If you leave, you will not be held accountable. "

"If you lose," Zhao Rui said, "then I'm sorry, this king wants your wife's life."

"You bastard."

Hao Zhao glared, and the knife rested on Zhao Rui's neck again.

"Haha, kill me, kill me if you want to, but I can conclude that you, a pariah, dare not kill me."

Zhao Rui laughed loudly, not afraid of the blade on his neck at all.

"You have only two choices now, either kill the king and be imprisoned by the nine clans, or play this game with the king. Only if you win can you be safe and sound. Of course, if you run away with your wife, don't accompany the king. Play, this king will still order you to be wanted."

Hao Zhao gritted his teeth, and the steel knife in his hand could easily cut off the prince's head with just a little force.

But his knife still couldn't cut it down.

The wife Hao Shi on the side cried and said: "Official family, promise him, the life and death of the cheap is not important anymore, but you can't have anything to do with the official family. If there is no you in the family, everything will be over. In the future, the parents-in-law Will starve to death, children will starve to death, nothing."

"Look, how virtuous your wife is, she is still worrying about you at this moment. Is your knife just for murder? Maybe you can beat this king with your skills?" Zhao Rui laughed.

"hateful."

Hao Zhao flicked the steel knife in his hand, only to hear a bang, and the waist knife sank into the green bricks next to him.

"You dog official, do you really want to drive me to a dead end before you give up? Whatever you want to play, I will play with you, but if you go back on your word again, I swear, I will cut off your head today."

He swears to God, gnashing his teeth and roaring.

"That's right, but don't worry, this king has always been very trustworthy, this king is the current prince, how can he talk like you low-class people and don't count?"

Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Rui was overjoyed all of a sudden, as if he was waiting for this moment.

"Then the game begins."

Zhao Rui said excitedly, then began to pace and think, and kept muttering: What are you playing today?What are you playing?

"Hurry up, you bastard." Hao Zhao urged impatiently.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's rare to meet such an interesting person like you today, I naturally have to have fun." Zhao Rui didn't take his insults to heart at all.

Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes."

Then he pointed to a guard and said, "You, yes, it's you, let me get out of the station, don't go too far, and walk around outside the station before entering."

"Yes, my lord."

The guard froze for a moment, then responded, turned and left with some trepidation.

He didn't know what game the prince was going to play today.

After the guard left, Zhao Rui said excitedly again; "Hao Zhao, my king's game has begun. This is a guessing game. Guess which of the guards of this king will walk around and come in later, who is left?" Should the foot step on the threshold first, or the right foot step on the threshold first? If you guessed right, Ben
The king will let you and your wife go. If you guess wrong, your wife will die today. "

Mad, mad, this man is a mad.

Hao Zhao felt his hands and feet were cold, and seeing the excited expression on Zhao Rui's face, there was only one thought in his mind.

He was betting on his life in a childish game like a child.

"Quickly guess, did you hear footsteps outside the door? The king's guards have circled half a circle and are about to come in. If you don't guess, then I will guess first." Zhao Rui urged.

Hao Zhao clenched his fists, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was struggling in his heart.

His lips moved slightly, wanting to speak, but no words came out.

Once he guessed wrong, his wife would be dead.

How could he bear to say such a child's play to decide his wife's life.

"Tata, Tada."

The guard who left just now had already turned around, and the sound of footsteps could be heard clearly from behind. It only took a few breaths for the guard to walk into the station.

Zhao Rui patted his thigh and said, "You are really a mother-in-law. How long have you thought about such a simple question? Since you don't guess, then I will guess first, but if I guess correctly, this You will lose the game, well, I guess the guard stepped forward with his left foot first

Coming. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who left before had already walked to the door, and at this moment he punched him: "My lord."

Hao Zhao felt that he was going to be driven crazy at this moment, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help turning his head to stare at the guard's feet.

After all, he didn't have the courage to bet his wife's life.

But the prince Zhao Rui didn't give him a chance to escape at all.

"Come in." Zhao Rui called the guard to come in.

"Yes, my lord." The guard was also a little puzzled, and strode in.

The guard found that everyone in the station was staring at him at the moment, which made him feel a little nervous, not knowing what happened here while he was walking out.

But just as he was about to step over the threshold, his expression was suddenly in a daze, and his footsteps paused, but then he stretched out his feet and stepped over the threshold.

And the foot he crossed the threshold was... his right foot.
