It only took Zeng Yongzhong less than two minutes to go from the initial panic, blank mind, and violent body trembling to gradually calming down.

After all, he has experienced a lot of things. Within a short period of time, Zeng Yongzhong understood everything. This should be what Zhao Shiqi did, or it could be said that the fish was dead and the net was broken. At this moment, Zeng Yongzhong came up with a sentence in his mind, no matter what

Don't stir up trouble, don't be afraid of trouble. After following Wu Zongrui for so long, this sentence has long been engraved in his mind.

Therefore, within a short period of time, Zeng Yongzhong controlled his emotions.

Fear and regret were tumbling in my mind at the same time.

After following Wu Zongrui for these years, Zeng Yongzhong has long understood Wu Zongrui's ambition, which is an ambition that he dare not say or think about. As Wu Zongrui's most trusted confidant, it is also very possible to seek an unprecedented future.

But if you lose your life, everything will disappear.

The carriage was going a little bumpy, and there were people on the left and right, pressing down on Zeng Yongzhong, making it impossible for him to move.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped.

It should be said that this place is not too far from the city gate and has not yet reached the most prosperous part of Huai'an City.

Zeng Yongzhong was escorted out of the carriage by people on the left and right, and he stumbled towards the front. When he walked up the stairs, his right foot hit the threshold. Zeng Yongzhong understood that he was being taken into a certain courtyard.

After the sound of closing and opening the door, the surroundings became quiet.

A few minutes passed, and after overcoming great fear and loss, Zeng Yongzhong began to think.

Screaming is useless, resisting is courting death. People are obviously prepared for everything, so they must think carefully about how to deal with it to see if they can save their lives.

If Zhao Shiqi had made all preparations and took action without realizing it, it was unlikely that Wu Zongrui would have known that Zeng Yongzhong had been kidnapped in a short period of time. In other words, for a period of time, Zeng Yongzhong could only rely on himself.

.

The danger is also huge. Zhao Shiqi should have thought everything through when he took this step.

If Zhao Shiqi's requirements are not met, then Zeng Yongzhong's chance of survival is very small. Dead people cannot speak. Even if Wu Zongrui senses something is wrong and suspects Zhao Shiqi, it is very likely that he will not see the dead body because he can't live.

, lack of evidence and nothing to do.

...

The sound of the door opening sounded. Feeling extremely tired, Zeng Yongzhong moved his body and slowly raised his head.

The huge consumption made his mouth dry and his mind blank. The fear and unknown about the future made him exhausted mentally and physically.

The black cloth tied on his head blocked his sight. Zeng Yongzhong could feel that the person coming was in front of him, but he could not see it.

The moment the black cloth was removed, Zeng Yongzhong closed his eyes. The strong light outside made his eyes uncomfortable.

What appeared in front of me was Qian Hu from the Caoyun Shenji Camp.

A bad feeling came over instantly, and the other party made no attempt to cover it up. Shenjiying Qianhu came forward directly without any thought of reconciliation.

"Mr. Zeng, I'm a rough guy, so I just told you that I asked you to come here so that you can cooperate with us and beat Wu Zongrui to death..."

Zeng Yongzhong shook his head and looked at the thousands of households in the Shenji camp in front of him.

"You scholars all like this. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Damn it, Liu Yousong from the Yuntian Gang is also a scholar. He was so stubborn at first. Now, he turned around and relied on the Sihai Gang. In my opinion, the bones of a scholar are

They are all soft and cannot withstand strong waves. If we go to the battlefield, we don’t know what dirty things we will do..."

Zeng Yongzhong had a sneer on his face and looked at Shenjiying Qianhu and spoke.

"So, those scholars who command armies in battle are all weak..."

Qianhu from the Shenji camp was stunned for a moment, looked at Zeng Yongzhong, and spoke fiercely.

"Okay, you still have the ability to confront me. It seems that you think this is the Huai'an government office. Zeng Yongzhong, let me tell you, if you don't express your stance today, next year's anniversary will be your anniversary..."

Zeng Yongzhong's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.

Seeing Zeng Yongzhong's expression, Qianhu of Shenji Camp smiled.

"Let me just say, since you are afraid of death, then cooperate with my family. Your benefits are indispensable. Don't think that you will have a future by following Wu Zongrui and working hard. Just follow my family. My family is straightforward and does what you say..."

Zeng Yongzhong stood up with great effort, looked at Shenjiying Qianhu, and spoke calmly.

"You are right. I am indeed afraid of death, but if you ask me to bend my back and live in an ignoble way, I won't do it..."

Before Zeng Yongzhong finished speaking, Shenji Ying Qianhu waved his hand.

"No one likes to hear these words. You scholars are like this. You say one thing and do another. I have seen it many times. Let me tell you, my family and Wu Zongrui will fight to the death. If you are not willing to submit to my family

Sir, just speak plainly, I am too lazy to talk to you, I will send you on your way earlier..."

Zeng Yongzhong finally calmed down his emotions, with a sad smile on his face.

This may be fate, and I cannot disobey it. I followed Xiong Tingbi, thinking of finding a good future, but who knew that Xiong Tingbi was executed by the court, and everything turned into smoke. Then I chose to follow Wu Zongrui, gained complete trust, and was ready to make great achievements.

Juren can't even save his life.

Zeng Yongzhong tried hard to wake himself up, maybe he didn't have much time to live in this world.

The fear in my heart cannot be completely eliminated. I think I have a wealth of knowledge and strategies that can be fully utilized, but I encounter such a situation.

It was impossible to take refuge in Zhao Shiqi, even if it cost one's life.

...

Seeing that Zeng Yongzhong never spoke, Qianhu in Shenjiying finally became impatient.

"Why, haven't you thought about it yet?"

"After thinking about it, I still said what I said, it's impossible for me to bend my spine and survive."

"So, you are no longer prepared to be loyal to my lord."

"Tell Zhao Shiqi that you are willing to die."

"Oh, I can't see it. You are planning to die to serve Wu Zongrui. It's a pity that Wu Zongrui can't see it. After one death, there is nothing left. I say you should think about it carefully."

"No, I have nothing more to say. If you need to take action, just do it."

After saying that, Zeng Yongzhong took two steps back, returned to the chair and sat down.

Shenjiying Qianhu walked to the opposite side of Zeng Yongzhong, with a ferocious look on his face.

"Stop fucking doing this to me. If you want to die, I will make it happen..."

While talking, Shenjiying Qianhu pulled out the steel knife.

Zeng Yongzhong closed his eyes and tried to steady his body to restrain the involuntary trembling.

...

After a few coughs, the room became quiet again.

Zeng Yongzhong opened his eyes and there was no one in the room.

Big drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. Zeng Yongzhong, who looked pale, looked around and let out a long breath.

The attitude of Shenjiying Qianhu just now was meant to scare people. It is said that Zhao Shiqi was not in such a hurry and captured Zeng Yongzhong and killed him. If he planned to do this, he could solve the problem on the carriage.

Zhao Shiqi must have wanted to seize Wu Zongrui's leverage and completely defeat Wu Zongrui through the court.

To achieve this step, Zeng Yongzhong's attitude is extremely critical. If Zeng Yongzhong changes sides, Wu Zongrui will be unable to defend himself and will have to accept severe punishment from the court.

Zeng Yongzhong would not do this, no matter in terms of the overall situation or personal feelings.

Zhao Shiqi would not let Zeng Yongzhong go, and there would not be much time. If Wu Zongrui could not detect the disappearance of Zeng Yongzhong early, the outcome would be irreversible.

Faintly, Zeng Yongzhong had already guessed that this was either the official residence of the Water Transport Headquarters or Zhao Shiqi's residence.

The possibility is greater in the official residence, Zhao Shiqi would not do such a thing at home.

Zeng Yongzhong still had hope in his heart. He felt that Wu Zongrui could detect all this.

Wing room.

Zhao Shiqi looked at Qianhu of the Shenji Camp standing in front with an angry look on his face.

"Are you going to kill Zeng Yongzhong if he doesn't want to be loyal? If so, I will take action when he is outside the city."

Qianhu from the Shenji Camp clasped his fists and spoke to Zhao Shiqi.

"Sir, I don't think Zeng Yongzhong will give in. Wu Zongrui trusts him very much..."

"It is precisely because Wu Zongrui trusts him that we have to take something out of his mouth. I have thought about it carefully in the past two days. With my memorial, I may not be able to trip Wu Zongrui. Master Yang's attitude is not clear.

In fact, we are supporting Wu Zongrui. If we can take something out of Zeng Yongzhong's mouth, then Wu Zongrui will be dead."

"Sir, I understand, but there is nothing we can do if Zeng Yongzhong refuses to speak."

Zhao Shiqi stood up and walked around the room with an irritable look on his face.

The current situation is very clear. Zhao Shiqi and Wu Zongrui cannot reconcile. Everyone is fighting to the death. If Wu Zongrui can be defeated by surprise, that would be the best.

Zeng Yongzhong is the best chess piece.

It's a pity that Zeng Yongzhong has a clear attitude and is unwilling to defect even to death.

If this is really the case, then the only option is to kill Zeng Yongzhong.

Zhao Shiqi's hands trembled slightly. He knew very well that if he took this step, the fight between him and Wu Zongrui would not only be limited to the court level, but would also involve personal grudges.

...

"Sir, make up your mind. Time cannot be delayed. If Wu Zongrui notices, things will be difficult to handle."

Zhao Shiqi stopped and turned to look at Qianhu in the Shenji camp.

"No need to say more, let me think..."

Seeing that thousands of households in the Shenji camp were about to walk out of the wing, Zhao Shiqi spoke again.

"I tell you, you are not allowed to touch Zeng Yongzhong without my order. If you mess around, don't blame me for being rude."

Qianhu of Shenji Camp turned his head, looked at Zhao Shiqi who had no expression on his face, and nodded helplessly.

The more critical the moment, the more decisive and decisive it is. Unfortunately, my master is indecisive. If Wu Zongrui notices it, it will be a huge disaster for Zhao Shiqi.
