C253 Have You Asked Me Yet? (1/2)
At that moment, the door to the auction house opened wide.
Another group of silver-armored soldiers charged in.
They numbered more than ten thousand, and were led by the prince of Shang Country, Hu Liang, and an elder with a strong aura.
Hu Liang sneered as he waved his hand.
More than ten thousand armored warriors and soldiers who had rushed down from the audience seats immediately surrounded Ying Wen.
An entire twenty thousand men and horses surrounded Ying Wen!
Even a fly would not be able to fly out.
Woo ~
In the venue, there were sounds of frightened horses hooting.
The enormous aura caused the horses to panic.
Beside Ying Wen, every single one of the riders had a drastic change in expression.
Every single one of them was powerful, capable of defending against five, but under the siege of twenty times the number of soldiers, all they could do was despair.
At the moment, Ying Wen was being protected in the middle of the cavalrymen.
However, her expression was already incomparably unsightly.
The people in the audience seats let out cries of fear.
Who would have thought that such a thing would actually happen after the successful transformation of Third Princess's forces?
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind it. The prince of Shang Country is actually the oriole behind him?
”Why? Why did it become like this?”
On the back of the horse, Ying Wen's face was pale white, after which it began to distort.
Her furious gaze passed through the crowd and stared straight at Zhu Tianyuan.
Ying Wen glared at Zhu Tianyuan and berated him furiously, saying: ”Zhu Tianyuan, I have treated you well, why did you betray me?!”
There were now many people by Zhu Tianyuan's side, his trusted aides.
And Gui Yuan, who was slow to notice, was also surrounded by the people that Zhu Yuantian had arranged for him.
He only had the cultivation level of Nine-star Martial General, but was powerless to use it.
Zhu Tianyuan sneered and said: ”Third Princess. ”My son was killed, yet you stop me from taking revenge. Is this truly treating me nicely?”
”Also, I, Zhu Tianyuan, have always been a direct descendant of Shang Country! From start to finish, what I am loyal to, is not the winner of Xia Country, but the Hu Family! The reason I, Zhu Tianyuan, have earned the trust between you and His Majesty is also for this day. ”
”For this day, I waited ten years. Even after my son died, I endured it. ”
”You tell me why I betrayed you. Of course I did it for one day. To swallow Xia Country! ”Hahaha!”
Zhu Tianyuan threw his head back and laughed heartily.
His laughter, was like a thunder from a clear sky, exploding in Ying Wen's mind.
In the audience stands, the minds of tens of thousands of commoners exploded.
Everyone was dumbstruck when they heard Zhu Tianyuan's words.
An unprecedented chill rose up his spine.
No one would have thought that the Patriarch of Zhu Family, the King of Different Family Name s of Xia Country, would actually be someone from the Shang Country.
A person loyal to the Shang Country Royal Family, became a King of Different Family Name.
This was too scary.
On the back of the horse, Ying Wen's face turned ashen upon hearing this.
Zhu Tianyuan was her most important trump card, but he was actually someone from another country.
At this moment, she only felt that all her hope had vanished into thin air.
Just as the dream of the empress was about to be realized, it turned into a bubble and shattered.
Only now did she realize that it was all a trap in the beginning.
She thought that she was holding everyone in her hands. But in the end, she discovered that she was someone else's chess piece.
Looking at Ying Wen's pale face, a smile appeared on Hu Rui's handsome face.
”Ying Wen, you can't be the empress.”
”Before long, my Shang Country Armoured Cavalry will be able to take over this land.”
”As a Third Princess of the Xia Country. ”Be my woman.”
”As long as you serve me well, I, Hu Rui, will help you take care of this country.”
Hu Rui said with a smile.
Did she think that he was purely here to participate in the Groom Contest?
Ever since Ying Wen told Zhu Tianyuan that she wanted to become the empress of Xia Country, he had started planning things out.
His coming to participate in the Groom Contest was only a pretense.
What he really wanted was this Xia Country.
His true aim was to swallow the Xia Country.
As long as he swallowed the Xia Country, he would have made a huge contribution.
Then, he would become the crown prince of Shang Country.
From today onwards, he would be able to wield power and become the emperor of the Shang Country.
When a ruler descended upon the world, he became the most noble person in the world.
”Alright, Third Princess. Your farce is over. ”
”Men, seize these knights!”
