If it were any other prince, Shi Ze wouldn't be afraid. After all, the princes of the Song Dynasty didn't have much power. They were imprisoned in Bianliang City by the royal family and didn't have much power.
Moreover, his ancestor had also been conferred the title of the Mighty Commandery Prince. Although it was posthumously conferred, with his identity as the founding father of the country, his Shi family was not much worse than ordinary princes.
However, the Eight Virtuous Kings were different. One had to know that he was the biological son of Emperor Taizu. In addition, he also held power in the court. He was different from ordinary princes.
But soon after, a fierce look flashed across Shi Ze's eyes.
So what if he was the son of the Eight Virtuous Kings? There was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, according to his father, the Eight Virtuous Kings probably wouldn't be able to jump around for long. Who asked him to be the son of Emperor Taizu, and the current line of the Son of Heaven was in Taizong's hands?
Regardless of how Taizu had glorified the passing of the throne to Taizong, there was no doubt that in the era of imperial power passing from father to son, the passing of the throne from brother to brother was a very insider matter.
Moreover, Emperor Taizong had passed the throne to his son in the end and not to his nephew.
To put it bluntly, Taizong's line of succession had been snatched from the hands of Taizu's line of succession. Now that the Emperor was gradually taking over the throne, how could he not suppress the Eight Virtuous Kings of Taizu's line?
Shi Ze recalled his father's words in his mind with his poor political wisdom, and successfully gave himself a mysterious confidence.
At this moment, the team had already arrived in front of Jian Jiu. Seeing this, Shi Ze deliberately spurred his horse forward and walked alongside Yang Bamei.
His actions once again caused Yang Bamei to frown. After all, Jian Jiu was considered a member of the Eight Sage Prince's Residence. If Shi Ze were to approach him in front of him, it would easily lead to misunderstandings.
Yang Bamei's actions were also seen by Jian Jiu.
Before this, he had thought that Shi Ze was a descendant of the Yang family or something. After all, he looked extraordinary. However, from the looks of it now, it didn't seem like it.
"Eighth Miss, this is?" Sword Nine asked Shi Ze.
"This is the young master of the State of Wei. This time, he is also entering the capital. On the way, he met us by chance, so we went the same way!”Yang Bamei said this tactfully to Sword Nine. She actually wanted to reveal a piece of information to him, that she was not familiar with Shi Ze.
Shi Ze raised his head and looked at Sword Nine arrogantly.""You said that Zhao Xuan is in front, right? It just so happens that my Shi family and the Eighth Prince are old friends.”
Although it was a visit, Shi Ze felt that he was going to issue a challenge to Zhao Xuan. He was going to openly announce that he was going to attack Yang Bamei.
When Jian Jiu heard Yang Bamei's words, he was slightly stunned and then asked in confusion,""Duke Wei?"
"He is the descendant of the Mighty Commandery Prince, the founding Shi family!”Yang Paifeng said casually. At the same time, he was secretly disdainful. This little guard really didn't know anything about the nobility of the Great Song.
"Oh, Shi Shouxin's descendant?" Sword Nine said in realization.
On the other hand, Yang Bamei and Yang Paifeng's expressions changed. Calling Shi Shouxin's name directly in front of the descendants of the Shi family was extremely disrespectful. They were afraid that Shi Ze would fly into a rage.
However, to Jian Jiu, these outdated families of generals were not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, Zhao Xuan had always been a daring person. In front of Zhao Zhen, he was unscrupulous, let alone Jian Jiu and the others.
Sword Nine had once heard Zhao Xuan comment on the founding nobility of the Song Dynasty. This Shi Shouxin was an existence that Zhao Xuan looked down upon. In Zhao Xuan's words, his ancestors had burned incense for eight lifetimes and were lucky enough to let a vulgar martial artist become a high-ranking official.
As expected, Shi Ze's expression changed when he heard Jian Jiu's words.
"How dare you, a mere servant, call our ancestor by his name!”Shi Ze asked Jian Jiu angrily.
"Alright, the people of the Shi family are not good people. Get lost. Don't dirty your eyes in front of our prince!”Sword Nine looked at Shi Ze and said without hesitation.
Jian Jiu didn't care about the sh * tty Shi family. In their eyes, these Generals of Generals of Great Song, other than a few, were all trash and nothing to be afraid of.
"Someone, take him down!" Shi Ze was furious. He had wanted to issue a challenge to Zhao Xuan, but now, he had been humiliated by a servant of Zhao Xuan. Especially in front of a beauty. How could he tolerate this?
"Wait a minute, Young Master Shi. I'm afraid that he doesn't know anything. Young Master Shi, please don't lower yourself to his level.”After all, she was a member of the Eight Virtuous Prince's Residence, so Yang Bamei couldn't ignore her. She immediately said, but she felt helpless in her heart. The people of the Eight Virtuous Prince's Residence were too arrogant.
Hearing Yang Bamei's words, Shi Ze felt a hint of joy in his heart. Then, he said proudly,"Alright, since Eighth Sister has spoken, I will give her face. However, ancestors cannot be humiliated. Let this kid dismount and kowtow to my Shi family three times, and I will let him go!”
Shi Ze looked at Sword Nine with a smug expression. By killing him, he could be considered to have given Zhao Xuan a show of strength.
Yang Bamei frowned. This Shi Ze was indeed a good-for-nothing. No matter what, Sword Nine represented the Eighth Prince's Mansion. How could he kowtow to him?
At this moment, Sword Nine's eyes were already filled with dense killing intent.
"If you want me to kowtow to the Shi family, you have to open the coffin and ask Shi Shouxin if he dares to accept it!”Sword Nine said coldly as he sat on his horse.
"You're courting death!" Shi Ze was furious.
At this moment, Sword Nine had already leaped up from his horse. The sword in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed towards Shi Ze.
"Impudent!"
Naturally, Shi Ze had his own guards, and they were also experts. When they saw Jian Jiu attack, they immediately shouted and pulled out their sabers to block Shi Ze.
A trace of disdain flashed in Sword Nine's eyes. The sword in his hand turned from stabbing to cutting, like a flash of lightning, and then it flashed past the guard's neck.
Bang!
The guard's head flew high into the sky, and blood splattered onto Shi Ze's body.
"Ah!"
Shi Ze was so shocked by the sudden death that he fell off his horse.
Yang Bamei and the others were also dumbfounded.
Sword Nine had actually killed people without any restraint on the official road outside the city!
