Before this, when Brother Richard's troops were severely damaged by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's troops, he had seen the power of gunpowder weapons.

Now, he saw the unknown weapon in the hands of the Zhao Guan family, which was exactly the powerful weapon they wanted the Kites Army to suffer heavy losses on the battlefield.

When Brother Richard glared at Zhao Ji and aimed his gun at him, he felt that he was finally free.

'Beat me to death! Beat me to death quickly...'

Brother Richard was heartbroken and wanted to die quickly.

Otherwise, with his intelligence as the commander of the Xixia Iron Kites Army and the King of Jin, he would not have been able to resort to those three vicious tactics to harm the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty even when he was already a prisoner.

He just thought that if even one of these poisonous schemes was successful, he would be able to make a lot of money by roping in some backers before he died.

However, he underestimated the wisdom and cave power of the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty.

Just now, when Zhao Ji raised his gun and aimed at Brother Richard who was five or six steps away, he first aimed the gun at Brother Richard's arrogant and ferocious face.

However, after a brief thought, he moved the muzzle of the gun downwards and aimed at Brother Richard's chest;

The blunderbuss pistol designed by Zhao Ji himself is very powerful. If one shot hits the opponent's chest, it will definitely kill Brother Richard.

Finally, Zhao Ji continued to move the gun down and aimed at Brother Richard's right knee.

Brother Richard glared at the unknown guy in the hands of the Emperor of Song Dynasty...

There was a "bang" sound, and fire and black smoke came out of the muzzle.

Brother Richard failed to do so, he was not beaten to death.

Suddenly, he felt a huge explosion-like pain in his right knee.

"Ahhhh..." Brother Richard screamed in pain again and again. Even if his mouth was gagged, his heart-rending screams were extremely harsh.

Brother Richard lowered his head and saw that his right knee had been shot. Blood was flowing outward. The holes in his flesh and the huge pain from the shattered patella spread upward from his entire right leg to his thigh.

whole body.

Brother Richard broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that his big head was dizzy due to the unbearable pain.

It was precisely because Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Liu Guangshi were standing on the left and right, pulling on the extension rope that bound Brother Richard, that Brother Richard did not fall.

All the courtiers in the Chinese army's tent were shocked when they saw that Zhao Guanjia had actually fired.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, raised his hand and blew the muzzle of the blunderbuss that was still smoking, his movements were cool and full of force.

With a "pop" sound, he slapped the blunderbuss pistol on the table and sneered:

"Brother Richard, do you believe me this time?"

"Even if no one stops you from assassinating me, you will still die in front of me."

"Ahhhhh..." Brother Richard screamed wildly, he was angry and unwilling.

Zhao Jifeng said calmly: "Brother Richard, the crimes you committed, I will kill you a hundred times, are all minor!"

"Before that, you wanted to alienate me from my loyal ministers and good generals, and you wanted to rush to my imperial book case to assassinate me. Also, during the war between Song and Xia three years ago, you tortured and killed many prisoners of war and generals.

It is not an exaggeration for me to punish you to death for the crime committed by the common people of Song Dynasty!"

The courtiers present nodded their heads, expressing their heartfelt agreement with Zhao Guanjia's words.

They thought: In addition to the facts mentioned by Zhao Guanjia, Brother Richard owed tens of thousands of lives to the famous Song Dynasty general Liu Fa and his soldiers three years ago!

Of course, most of these ministers are veterans from the northwest. They think so in their hearts, but they cannot say it out loud.

Three years ago, Brother Richard led the Xixia Iron Harrier Army and auxiliary troops to annihilate Liu Fa's army, which was advancing alone. This was a battle between the two countries. Even if Liu Fa died in the hands of Brother Richard's men, it would not count.

He died for the Song Dynasty. It would be unreasonable to say that Brother Richard is guilty of this matter.

However, they found that when Zhao Guanjia pronounced Brother Richard's crime, they cleverly avoided Liu Fa's defeat and being killed by Brother Richard's men.

They admired Zhao Guanjia even more for his thoughtful thinking, rigorous speech, proper work, extraordinary wisdom, far-sightedness, strategizing, and victory over thousands of miles...

The Zhao Guan family is really like ‘it has been quiet for twenty years, but now it is a blockbuster’!

…

"Haha..." Zhao Ji sneered and said:

"Brother Richard, what you said and did today is nothing more than refusing to surrender even to the death, and you also wanted to murder me and Daliang's loyal ministers and generals!"

Brother Richard shouted wildly: "Ahhhhhh..."

Zhao Ji changed the subject and said:

"However, I have already seen clearly all your little tricks. I just used you as a clown and let you perform until now.

Now, killing you is like crushing an ant to death!"

"Ah uh uh..." Brother Richard, whose mouth was gagged, kept making strange noises from his mouth, which were curses and words of provocation in order to seek a quick death.

However, because his mouth was blocked, no one present could hear clearly what he said.

When all the ministers heard Zhao Guanjia say, "Killing Brother Li is like crushing an ant," they agreed very much.

However, among this group of good ministers and famous generals, there are many smart and outstanding ones.

When they heard Zhao Guanjia's words, they hid their intention to immediately execute Brother Richard, the king of Jin Dynasty in Xixia. Many of them were actually opposed to it in their hearts.

For example, after considering the overall situation, the veteran Zongze opposed the immediate execution of Brother Richard...

Even though Brother Richard used bad words to frame Han Shizhong and Yue Fei for wanting to rebel, at this time, they had roughly the same thoughts:

'If Brother Richard, such an influential and important figure in the Xixia Kingdom, is executed like this, the Song Dynasty will no longer have important hostages to hold the Xixia court and the Xia army. It is really a pity...'

Of course, Zhao Ji has not finished his words now. Some of the courtiers present are opposed to the immediate execution of Brother Richard, and they dare not interrupt Zhao Guan's impassioned speech immediately.

Zongze, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei all had almost the same idea in their minds:

That is, if the Zhao Guan family really decrees the execution of Brother Richard, he must stand up and remonstrate, and strongly dissuade the Zhao Guan family from executing Brother Richard immediately...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I must give my advice. Even if it makes Long Yan of the Zhao official family unhappy, I must let the official family know that the Song army has Brother Richard alive as a hostage, so they can attack Xixia

By carrying out blackmail, the Song Dynasty can obtain more unexpected and significant benefits...

At this time, Zhao Guanjia, who was accusing Brother Richard of his crimes, suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Brother Richard, although you have done many evil things, it is not an exaggeration for me to execute you a thousand times for the crimes you have committed."

"However, I have a great virtue, so I will give you a chance to survive!"

"If you can surrender to the Song Dynasty, and every time before the Song and Xia armies fight, you will go to the front of the formation and shout to persuade the Xia army to surrender. Even if you fail to persuade them to surrender, you can destroy the morale of the Xia army. In that case, I can protect

If you don't die, you can still enjoy glory and wealth."

"Ahhhhh..."

Zhao Ji did not ask anyone to remove the torn linen that was blocking Brother Richard's mouth at this moment, because he still had something to say.

Now let Brother Richard speak, and most of them will still yell incompetently.

Zhao Ji continued to persuade Long: "Brother Richard, even if you don't surrender to the Song Dynasty, you can write a letter in your own handwriting to your emperor brother Li Qianshun, urging him to give up resisting the lion of the Song Dynasty, bow his head to the Song Dynasty, and let Xixia

If our country becomes a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, not only will I not kill you, but I will still treat you preferentially! Are you willing?"

After hearing this, Brother Richard endured the pain of his right leg being maimed, his eyes glared like bells, and he made a strange sound of anger:

"Ahhhhh..."

Zhao Ji could tell from Brother Richard's expression that he still didn't want to surrender, but he had to give him a chance to say whether he would surrender or not.

Zhao Jidao: "Come here, take out the linen ball stuck in Brother Richard's mouth."

"Obey the decree." The Imperial City Secretary obeys the decree and executes it...

"Huh!" Brother Richard took a deep breath of air and shouted:

"This king swears to the death and will not surrender!"

"The Dog Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you are such a foolish king. You have been dissolute and immoral for more than twenty years. All the women and children of our country in Great Xia know it."

"Emperor Dog, on a whim, you led an army to invade our country, Daxia!"

"You are so aggressive that you will eventually be buried in our territory..."

“#%!%……￥……%&……”

The more Brother Richard scolded him, the more unpleasant he became. He couldn't speak the words in Chinese, so he mixed them with his native Dangxiang dialect.

Finally, he began to attack the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty. He not only scolded the Zhao Guan family with unpleasant words, but also scolded his ancestors, his father, and his mother...

It’s extremely unpleasant to listen to…

Zhao Ji waved his hand and responded coldly, saying:

"Brother Richard is so eloquent! You are not good at fighting, but you are quite good at swearing!"

Brother Richard continued to curse: "#%!%...￥...%&..."

Zongze came out and said: "The officials should calm down! I ask the officials to issue an order to stop Brother Richard's mouth again. This thief speaks badly. Although his crime deserves death, I ask the officials to keep him temporarily.

Fate will be of great benefit to my Song Dynasty’s expedition to Xia Dynasty.”

"Haha..." Zhao Ji sneered, but there was no angry expression on his face.
