075 The Line of Life and Death
The soldiers escorted Zhu Xiuyuan and others' hands, pinned them to the ground, and knelt down facing King Poyang.
In other words, Zhu Xiuyuan also faced the palace steward.
The palace steward could see the anxious expressions of Zhu Xiuyuan and others.
But the expression of King Poyang was not visible, so it was impossible not to analyze the prince's next move.
He looked at Zhu Xiuyuan opposite him, blinked, and said to himself: "Zhu Xiuyuan, we have been friends for a long time!"
However, Zhu Xiuyuan didn't notice the housekeeper's little move. He kept staring at King Poyang!
I saw a veteran general wearing armor and a helmet, sitting firmly on a tall horse, looking majestic and majestic.
Although his face is old and his hair is white, his eyes are resolute and his back is stronger than the average young man!
This is Zhu Xiuyuan’s first time seeing a general from ancient times. Compared with the generals in those TV dramas, they are incomparable!
For a moment, Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned.
Staring at King Poyang blankly.
"Are you Zhu Xiuyuan?" King Poyang suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, my lord... your subordinate is none other than Zhu Xiuyuan!"
Zhu Xiuyuan was about to say "caomin", but suddenly he remembered that he was no longer a white man, but also a small official, so he immediately changed his words to "lower official".
King Poyang's expression softened considerably and he casually ordered the soldiers: "Let them go and get up and speak."
The soldier immediately let go. Zhu Xiuyuan and others got up from the ground and moved their arms that had been escorted. Then Zhu Xiuyuan immediately saluted King Poyang and said: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. I have rashly delayed your schedule because of this."
There is an urgent matter, please ask your Majesty for help!"
Under the gaze of Vice General Chen, the palace steward, and passers-by, King Poyang asked "gently": "Tell me, what urgent matter do you have?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is reporting that your nephew is seriously ill. He asked the best doctors in the city for diagnosis and treatment, but he didn't get any better... Your Majesty was so worried that he accidentally learned that there was a miracle doctor in your palace. He was the reincarnation of Hua Tuo with his medical skills.
...So I have the courage to ask the prince to be accommodating and ask the miracle doctor of your house to diagnose and treat my wife!"
As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan said these words, all the passers-by had different thoughts.
Some people think Zhu Xiuyuan is too stupid.
He boldly blocked the prince's trip for the sake of a lady. Although the prince is quite "gentle" now, he might fall out immediately.
When the time comes, is it worth risking your life in vain?
Some people also think that Zhu Xiuyuan is a real man who values love and justice.
For the sake of his wife, he was willing to risk being executed by King Poyang...
What a good husband! Most of the people who hold this idea are women on the street.
Of course, there are also people who just want to watch the fun.
No matter how King Poyang dealt with Zhu Xiuyuan in the end, he was moved by Zhu Xiuyuan's kindness and sent the genius doctor from the mansion.
Or maybe he killed Zhu Xiuyuan directly.
No matter what the result is, they watch it with gusto.
This lively scene was exciting enough once King Poyang "retracted" his raised hand. As for the outcome, it didn't matter!
…
Although the passers-by had different thoughts, no one opened their mouths to discuss it and remained silent.
Vice General Chen was riding on a tall horse, standing behind King Poyang. Although his eyes were fixed on Zhu Xiuyuan and others opposite him, in fact, his thoughts had already wandered to nowhere.
He no longer dwells on this matter. As a subordinate of the prince, shouldn't it be enough to carry out the orders given by the prince?
Why spend so much time thinking about so many things?
The butler of the palace is different. His whole mind is now running at high speed, carefully "observing and receiving" Zhu Xiuyuan and the prince's words and deeds, and then analyzing them... What will be the final result?
"So, you are trying to stop this king because of your wife's illness?"
King Poyang asked, and at this time, his tone was quite "gentle".
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am worried about my wife's condition. I am so anxious that I have to make this decision!"
Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his fists and bowed, making a great salute. After the ceremony, he continued: "I am willing to be sent by the prince. I only ask for the prince's permission to allow the miracle doctor of your house to diagnose and treat my wife! I hope the prince will grant me permission!"
"I hope your Majesty will make it happen!" Yan Dashan, Dong Yi, Dong Er and others also shouted with great salutes.
"snort!"
King Poyang suddenly snorted coldly.
The "gentleness" in his tone was no longer there.
This cold snort, in the eyes of some people, means that the entire situation is about to take a turn for the worse.
For example, those passersby who thought Zhu Xiuyuan was too stupid had speculated that King Poyang would suddenly turn against him...
Look, isn’t this a turn of events!
Vice General Chen was still there, but he was secretly prepared to order Zhu Xiuyuan and others to be killed.
The palace steward's eyes flashed. After "adding in" the prince's cold snort, the balance in his heart began to tilt towards "the prince will eventually execute Zhu Xiuyuan"...
King Poyang saw that Zhu Xiuyuan remained calm despite his cold snort and stared at him... King Poyang felt quite satisfied and secretly gave Zhu Xiuyuan a thumbs up.
But on the surface, King Poyang's face became colder and colder, and his tone also turned cold, and he said: "Zhu Xiuyuan, do you know that anyone who breaks into the military formation led by this king without permission will be punished by death?"
King Poyang stared at Zhu Xiuyuan, pointed at the passers-by who were watching, and said solemnly: "Didn't you notice that none of them dared to talk and make noise at will? Now that you are blocking my expedition, I can kill you with a knife.
Get off the horse!"
King Poyang, who was walking among the dead, said these words himself. His voice was terrifying, as if coming from the depths of hell...
The timid passers-by were so frightened that they shrank back.
boom!
Damn it!
Zhu Xiuyuan seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue.
So are the consequences of blocking the prince's schedule... so serious?
For a moment, Zhu Xiuyuan was completely confused.
That's a death threat!
It is impossible to say that Zhu Xiuyuan is not afraid of death.
He is just an ordinary person, how could he not be afraid of death?
When the shadow of real death hung over his head, even as a time traveler, Zhu Xiuyuan was frightened to the core!
Zhu Xiuyuan's frightened look fell in the eyes of King Poyang, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
At this time, King Poyang had two thoughts in his mind.
First, hey, it turns out that you, Zhu Xiuyuan, who is such a capable person, know how to be afraid!
Secondly, well, it’s right to be afraid. If you don’t know how to be afraid, then I won’t be able to see through you...
King Poyang felt relieved.
Then, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but on the surface he still had a cold look on his face. He stared at Zhu Xiuyuan closely, as if if anything went wrong, he would immediately order Zhu Xiuyuan to be beheaded.
After Zhu Xiuyuan was dizzy for a while, something suddenly moved in his heart. He suddenly woke up and shouted in his heart: "No! No! Your Majesty is deceiving me. If Your Majesty really wanted to behead me, I would have lost my head long ago.
There is no chance to be afraid here..."
