Hearing Wei Ziqi's question, Qin Hao merely glanced at him and took another sip of wine before replying calmly,"Isn't big brother interfering too much? How this king eats and drinks is this king's own business and doesn't interfere with big brother's business, so it's not your turn to interfere, right?”
"You…" Hearing Qin Hao's words, Wei Ziqi's tone became sluggish and he did not know how to reply. However, a sense of jealousy and hatred rose in his heart. At the same time, he felt that Qin Hao was different from before.
When Wen Zhong, who was sitting opposite Qin Hao, saw this scene, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
The Shang King Di Yi who was sitting at the top had a strange expression when he saw this.
Seeing the change in Wen Zhong and Diyi's expressions, Qin Hao's heart suddenly tightened. He also realized that the appearance he had just displayed was different from the previous King Zhou. Therefore, he swallowed what he was about to say, afraid that he would reveal more flaws.
"I've long heard that third brother seemed to have changed into a different person after he was injured in the martial arts competition a few days ago. At first, I didn't believe it, but now that I see it, the rumors are true.”
Although Wei Ziqi felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Qin Hao's words and was filled with jealousy and hatred, he did not show any anger on his face. After all, he usually appeared elegant and graceful in front of everyone.
Although he pretended to be nonchalant, Wei Ziqi did not give up on stirring up trouble. He continued,"I just don't know if Third Prince, whose personality has changed a little, is still interested in the Huang family's young miss, and if he will still fight with me for the Huang family's young miss?”
"Miss Huang?" Hearing Wei Ziqi's words, Qin Hao was a little stunned, but he immediately reacted. He immediately thought of King Zhou's third wife in the original novel, Concubine Huang, who was also the sister of King Wucheng's Huang Feihu, Huang Feiyan. She was the concubine who was later thrown away by King Zhou at Zhai Xing Lou.
Only now did Qin Hao find out that Wei Ziqi was also Huang Feiyan's admirer.
However, Qin Hao remained silent. This was because Di Yi, Wen Zhong, and the other officials were all looking at him with burning eyes.
Seeing that Qin Hao was silent, Wei Ziqi smiled and said deliberately,"Third brother, you are really strange today. If big brother said this to you in the past, you would have already started arguing with me. However, you are so silent now. Could it be that you have completely changed?”
Wei Ziqi's words were extremely explicit and his tone was filled with ridicule. With his status, he shouldn't have spoken to Qin Hao in such a manner in this banquet.
However, he was not stupid. He sensed Qin Wu's strangeness and also observed the expressions of Di Yi, Wen Zhong, and the other officials as they looked at Qin Wu.
With such a situation, how could he not use it to suppress Qin Wu properly?
At this moment, Qin Wu still did not say anything. He only sneered and thought to himself," My personality changed because of my injury. It seems to make sense. Wei Ziqi, that idiot, has really found a good excuse for me. He has even laid the foundation for this excuse time and time again. Oh, what an idiot. No wonder in the original history, whether it was women or the throne, even the original King Zhou could not win.”
Wei Ziqi didn't know what Qin Hao was thinking. Seeing that Qin Hao was silent, he felt that Qin Hao could be bullied as he pleased. Thus, he continued to provoke him,"Third Prince is born with divine strength. Didn't he defeat the heroes in the martial arts tournament a while ago? Why don't I take advantage of Father's banquet today to find a few strong warriors to compete with Third Brother? Firstly, it can help to drink, and secondly, it can also show Father and the ministers the might of Third Brother. How about it?”
As soon as Wei Ziqi finished speaking, Qin Hao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up, causing Wei Ziqi, who was sitting at the head of the table, to jump in shock.
Qin Hao did not care if Wei Ziqi was frightened or not. He said indifferently,"Since big brother is so kind, how can this little brother refuse? Moreover, this little brother has always liked fighting.”
"But who are those warriors? How can you compete with me? How can I show my might by fighting with a mere warrior?”
"I heard that there will be a Nine Ox Dance today. It is a dance performed by the dancing slaves with nine domesticated oxen. Men, order the dancing slaves to lead the nine oxen into the palace. When I wrestle with the nine oxen, I will put on a good show for my father and the ministers!”
Qin Hao suddenly raised his voice, as if a muffled thunder had exploded in Xian Qing Hall.
At this moment, he was no longer prepared to hide his true nature. Anyway, that idiot Wei Ziqi had already found an excuse for him and laid the foundation for him many times.
Even if Diyi and Wen Zhong discovered that he was different from before, they could use that excuse.
Actually, Qin Hao could understand why Wei Ziqi was so hostile towards him.
Because Emperor Yi had not yet appointed a Crown Prince, the civil and military officials in the court were divided into two factions. One faction believed that the benevolent and talented eldest son, Wei Ziqi, was the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne, while the other faction believed that when Wei Ziqi was born, his mother was only a concubine, so her status was naturally inferior to King Shou, who was born after she became the Empress. Therefore, King Shou should be appointed as the Crown Prince.
Of course, the faction that supported King Shou as the Crown Prince was stronger, and Di Yi favored his youngest son more.
Hence, Qin Hao was the biggest obstacle for Wei Ziqi to inherit the throne!
As for Wei Ziyan, his status was even lower than Wei Ziqi. His mother was just an ordinary concubine, so he was also a 'concubine' and naturally colluded with Wei Ziqi to ostracize and suppress King Shou.
"Humph! Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan, these two scumbags, this Great Shang is destined to belong to me. With your little cleverness, you can't even compete with the original King Zhou who was brave but lacked brains. Now, you still want to compete with me and see me make a fool of myself!”
"The original King Zhou was born with divine strength. Now that I've fused with his soul and controlled his body, coupled with the cultivation technique of the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Body, my physical strength has increased greatly!”
"What I lack the most right now is strength. These two idiots actually want to make things difficult for me in terms of strength. They're really stupid to a certain level!”
Qin Hao sneered in his heart. At this moment, Diyi and the surrounding officials were all attracted by his suddenly raised voice and looked over.
At this time, the dancing slaves had also led the nine wild bulls into Xian Qing Hall.
Looking at the majestic bison in the arena, and seeing the expectant gazes of Diyi and the officials, Qin Hao's heroic spirit rose and he shouted again,""Royal Father, this subject will be bold enough to embarrass myself. Please wait and see!”
After he finished speaking, Qin Hao strode towards the nine bison and pushed away the dancing slaves. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the tail of a bison. He shouted in a deep voice,"Come over here for this king!"
After Qin Hao grabbed its tail, the dancing bull wailed and stomped on the ground with all its four hooves. The dancing bull was originally tamed by a wild bull, and its wild nature was stimulated by the pain. The power it erupted with was enough to knock two or three adult strong men away.
However, no matter how hard the wild bull struggled, it could not control its gradually retreating body. It could only be slowly pulled over by Qin Hao.
At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly let go of one of his hands. Then, he used his remaining hand to firmly grab the wild buffalo. Immediately after, Qin Hao's free hand reached out again and dragged the tail of the other dancing buffalo over.
"Good!"
"Your Highness King Shou is really brave and invincible!”
"Yeah, it's really amazing!"
Seeing Qin Hao's bravery, the ministers cheered loudly. Diyi was even more delighted. Even Wen Zhong looked at Qin Hao with admiration.
At this moment, Qin Hao's performance was not over yet. Just like before, he pulled the remaining seven dancing bulls over one by one and let them surround him in the middle. Meanwhile, he wantonly stimulated the wildness of the nine dancing bulls.
The nine dancing bulls struggled desperately as if they had gone crazy, but they were unable to break free from Qin Wu's control. After struggling for a long time, the nine dancing bulls were so tired that they were panting, but Qin Wu's expression was normal. He stood on the spot as steady as a rock.
This scene was simply shocking. At this moment, Qin Hao, who was standing in the middle of the hall, was like a god of war. Diyi and the civil and military officials were dumbfounded. They even forgot to drink and cheer.
