Chapter 152: The general is the pledge, and the Chu River is exchanged
Hou Xuanyan coughed lightly, spitted bloody saliva, his eyes rolled, and his heart was already calculating. His handsome face gradually became ferocious, and he cursed angrily: "Dog thief, I am Wu Yue Bo, the imperial court, and the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Suppression Hui. What do you dare to do?"
Zheng Hongkui sneered, feeling extremely happy. Looking at the painful expression of Hou Xuan in front of him, he said slowly: "Bah, just a count dares to show off his power here."
Hou Xuanyan looked at his expression and knew that he had scratched his itch. It seemed that this person liked this feeling. The people on his side were already at the end of their strength. If they fought to the death, they would probably die in a while. He pretended to be sad and angry and scolded: "I have the will of Your Majesty, do you even take the emperor seriously?"
Zheng Hongkui sniffed, as if he had heard some joke, and covered his stomach and laughed: "Emperor? Don't you ask, what is the emperor's surname in Fujian? Everyone says that Hou Xuan is acting cunning. It turns out that he is a nerd who is stupid in studying, haha." The private soldiers of the Zheng Mansion behind him gave him a lot of face and laughed with Zheng Hongkui.
Huang Ying'er beside Hou Xuanyan saw that they were extremely arrogant and scolded: "The dog thief named Zheng, you are so ugly, you are so embarrassed to laugh, and you will cut your tongue after laughing!"
"..." Hou Xuanyan said in his heart that it was not good. This view of the appearance association's heart-killing argument is very likely to cause Zheng Hongkui to have an early attack.
Sure enough, Zheng Hongkui put away his crazy smile and said coldly: "Go! Kill them all." All the private soldiers of the Zheng family rushed into the palace and surrounded them, including the bedroom behind Hou Xuanyan.
Hou Xuanyan looked out of the palace powerlessly, Zhao Yuanhua, if you don’t come, I will be really stuck here. And you, Lao San, are you so superficial, and say that you are ugly, it’s not your fault. As for whether you turn against each other immediately, let’s continue to talk.
Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind Hou Xuanyan: "Zheng Hongkui, are you going to rebel?"
Hou Xuanyan turned around and saw that it was Zhu Youjian who forced him to walk out. He looked pale and walked out of the bedroom with the help of Wang Xiangnian beside him. Behind them, the two concubines in the harem followed closely, but they were so scared that they could not walk.
"I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The world is bright and the sky is blue and the sun is white. You people will kill the king!"
Although this sound seemed to be insufficient due to the weakness of the body, the momentum was enough. Unfortunately, this is Fuzhou.
A deputy general beside Zheng Hongkui shook the hilt of the knife and said, "It's so good for the emperor to find out that grandpas are planning to kill the monarch today, otherwise do you think they are here to pay your birthday?"
Although the Zheng brothers were domineering, they never dared to humiliate the emperor without any concealment. Today, a young general dared to say such words, coughing out a mouthful of black blood in anger. In the palace, there were only the eunuch Wang Xiangnian's screams of ghosts and wolves, and the crying of two concubines of a queen.
Hou Xuanyan shook his head and sighed. If a group of teammates who rely on their mouths to output, they will be really beaten up if they continue like this.
The people of Zheng's family were about to take action. A knight and the guards originally thought it was their own decoration, but they did not stop him. The knight immediately arrived in the palace, rolled off the horse, and knelt down and said, "Third Master, the mansion was in trouble. A group of unknown people besieged the Zheng Mansion. The mansion was empty and unable to resist. The uncle was in danger. The third master should come back and rescue him quickly."
"What!" Zheng Hongkui stood up in shock, held the soldier's shoulders like a sling, and asked with a shaking hand, "How is the big brother?"
The little soldier endured the pain and replied: "When the villain came, the thief had already entered the inner courtyard. Third Master, go and save him!"
When Hou Xuanyan heard this, he laughed to the sky and said, "Zheng Hongkui, Fuzhou has the surname Zheng, but it's a pity that it's Zheng Zhilong's, not your Zheng Hongkui."
Zheng Hongkui gritted his teeth and said, "It's too late to go back to rescue. Take down this thief monkey first and exchange the elder brother with them!"
Hou Xuanyan secretly shouted "Brothers, fight with them!"
"Who dares to do it?" A neigh sounded from outside the palace. Fan Xiong rode on his horse, and a sharp blade in his hand rested in front of Zheng Zhilong's neck.
Zheng Hongkui regretted his intestines now. He had nothing to do and chatted with him. He killed Hou Xuanyan and the emperor earlier. Their people rushed to kill the eldest brother. Isn’t the whole Fujian all his own?
"Catch them and exchange them for brother!" Zheng Hongkui ordered, but the private soldiers of the Zheng Mansion hesitated. They still have dozens of people, and it is easy to kill them all, but it is too difficult to capture them alive. If Hou Xuanyan is killed and Zheng Zhilong's life is in danger, they will definitely become scapegoats.
Zheng Zhilong cursed: "Third brother, are you going to kill your brother? Get out of here!"
Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Those who know the times are heroes. Duke Pingguo is such a hero, so he must know this truth. Today, we brothers do not ask for anything else, but only want to leave a life to go to Fujian. I, Hou Xuanyan, and Tian, will not hurt Duke Pingguo's hair."
Zheng Zhilong's eyes were full of fire, staring at Hou Xuanyan, who was stained with blood, gritted his teeth and said through his teeth: "My surname is Hou, you are cruel. I will accept it this time. Let your people let me go, and I guarantee you to leave the city safely."
Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Duke Pingguo, I treat you as a hero, why do you treat me as a fool? If the oath and covenant are useful, your dozen or so sworn brothers will not feed fish in the sea."
Zheng Zhilong snorted coldly: "How good can you be? The treasures of the country, Zhang Cunren, may have turned into meat paste and built into the city walls of Hangzhou. If you plan to use my amulet to escape from Fujian and then kill me, I advise you to die, and let's die together. I, Zheng Zhilong, is not a treasure of the country, and you don't have to curse the whole family to death. Everyone present knows that your whole family is dead."
Hou Xuanyan threw the sword away, spread his hands and said, "Since none of us trust each other, why not do this? I will be hostage under your hands. After we are safe, we will release each of us. What do you think?"
"No!" Huang Ying'er screamed and said, "Brother Xiao Hou, let's fight to the death, don't be hostages."
Hou Xuanyan glared at her in a blink of an eye and scolded, "Shut up! Men say, why are you making a fuss?" Huang Ying'er was so scared that she softened her body, lowered her head gently, and did not dare to speak again.
Although Zheng Zhilong speaks tough, he cherishes his life very much. It is more important to be able to survive in his heart than anything else. After all, he still has endless wealth. In his opinion, countless beauties from all over the world are losing money.
Seeing his expression loose, Hou Xuanyan knew that he would agree, and chuckled, "You and I are not stupid people. If we leave Fujian, we will be helpless. The entire sea will be my enemy from now on, and the coast will not be at peace. And you dare not kill your Majesty and I in full view of the public. Otherwise, the world will be great, and your surname Zheng will only wander on the sea. My purpose is to attack Jiannu in the north, and I have no intention of getting involved in Fujian. In the future, we will not interfere with the rivers. What do you think? Let's fight the Tartars in front, and you will continue to be your King of Fujian. One day we lose, you can turn against the Qing Dynasty and continue to enjoy wealth. You are a wise man, and you live happier than anyone else. Why not be able to fight with us a group of madmen."
Zhu Youjian is indeed the only one left of the Zhu family. He did not hide behind at this time and stood up and said, "Hou Aiqing is right. When I arrived in Jinling, I will not investigate any matters in Fuzhou."
Zheng Zhilong raised his eyebrows, Hou Xuanyan's words moved him with openness and honesty, while Zhu Youjian relied on character. After getting along for so long, Zheng Zhilong knew that Zhu Youjian was different from him and Hou Xuanyan. Since he spoke, he was trustworthy.
Zheng Zhilong laughed and said, "Your Majesty is so serious. Although I am dull, I also have the intention to serve the country. If Your Majesty summons you to the next day, I am willing to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty. Brother Hou, I like your straightforwardness, and people will not say secret words." After saying that, he shouted, "You bastards all listen, just do what Brother Hou said. Whoever wants to harm my life, think about it first."
