Chapter 236 As Per The Old Rules, Kill All The Men And Bring The Women Back To The Palace!
With a command from Zhao Tianyao, the waiting maids, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately entered one after another, placing dish after dish of food on the table.
"These are all ingredients cooked by specially invited master chefs at the Apex Level. Please taste them," Zhao Tianyao greeted.
Everyone didn't hesitate and began to taste the food.
Since it was considered Apex Level ingredients by the esteemed Zhao Family patriarch, they naturally wouldn't be too bad.
....
The night was already halfway through, but the Zhao Family mansion was still brightly lit and bustling.
"Haha... good wine! Cheers!"
"Brother Wang, you're generous!"
Glasses clinked, and the fragrance of wine filled the air, intoxicating.
"Brother Zhao, come and have a drink!"
"Brother Zhao, you can't just drink with the beauties!"
Everyone shouted one after another.
In the center of the hall, dozens of stunning dancers were singing and dancing, their bodies swaying gracefully.
They held feather fans made of silk, dressed in thin veils and flowing skirts, their figures as delicate as willow branches. They danced gracefully, charming and captivating, attracting attention.
Every move made the high-ranking members of these noble families intoxicated, and also filled the night banquet with a romantic atmosphere.
Zhao Tianyao raised his glass with a smile, toasting with everyone, his face full of pride. "How about it! Isn't my beauty great?"
"Of course!"
"Where else can we find such a stunning beauty!"
"Tsk tsk, her skin is as tender as tofu!"
Everyone exclaimed in admiration, their eyes shining as they looked at the dancer, their gazes filled with desire.
The dancer wore a purple dress, with a slender and soft waist, long and straight legs, a graceful figure, and delicate and beautiful features. Every frown and smile revealed a charming and graceful demeanor.
At this moment, she sat at her seat, draped in a light veil and thin skirt, covering her enchanting body. But even with this half-concealment, she already bewitched and tempted people, making them salivate.
This dancer was one of Zhao Tianyao's concubines, outstanding in appearance and skilled in singing and dancing. She was deeply loved by Zhao Tianyao and held a high position in the Zhao mansion.
She smiled with her eyes, her gaze shining, and took a sip of the grape wine on the table. Her peripheral vision caught sight of Zhao Tianyao's smug look, and she lightly hummed, "Always showing off!"
As she spoke, her eyes flowed with charm and coquettishness.
Hearing her words, everyone became even more envious and jealous, all looking at Zhao Tianyao, wishing they could replace him and sit next to her.
Zhao Tianyao laughed heartily, pretending to be stern. "Daring to show a displeased face to the head of the family, it seems I'll have to discipline you tonight!"
The dancer blushed, her voice tenderly complaining, "Hmph, who's afraid of who? Let's talk about it tonight in bed."
"Hahaha! Alright!"
Everyone burst into laughter, their eyes filled with ambiguity as they looked at Zhao Tianyao.
Zhao Tianyao also laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.
The pent-up emotions from this period of time were finally released, and coupled with the relaxation after drinking, he became extremely excited.
"Good, let's talk about it tonight in bed. I want to see how many rounds you can last."
"Hmph~"
The dancer shyly twisted her body, becoming even more alluring, causing the eyes of those around her to widen, their mouths dry, unable to help but swallow their saliva.
This dancer was indeed tempting, every frown and smile bewitching and captivating. Moreover, her appearance and temperament were top-notch.
Even the veteran powerhouses couldn't help but be tempted, their hearts wavering.
Zhao Tianyao continued to chat with the heads of the noble families, eating delicious food and discussing the upcoming war between the two domains.
At this moment, Zhao Family elder Zhao Wanrong's face turned pale. She hurriedly ran to Zhao Tianyao's side and whispered something.
Zhao Tianyao's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he stood up abruptly, his voice filled with shock. "What?!"
The lively scene suddenly came to a halt.
Everyone looked at Zhao Tianyao, their faces filled with confusion.
"What's wrong? Brother Zhao, have you encountered some major trouble?"
"Yeah, Tianyao, what's going on with you?"
Zhao Tianyao's face turned pale, trembling all over, his eyes filled with shock, to the point of forgetting his own composure.
The crowd looked at each other, not knowing what had happened to make the head of the Zhao Family react in such a way.
"Report! Master, something bad has happened. The Dark Divine Guards are all outside the mansion!" A guard rushed in anxiously and reported loudly once again.
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
"What?"
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and many people were so scared that they collapsed onto their seats.
The terror of the Dark Divine Guards, who in Great Qin didn't know? They killed without blinking, treating human lives as insignificant, obeying only the orders of the Emperor. Anyone who defied them would undoubtedly die.
"Quickly gather the ancestral elders of the clan!"
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
Zhao Tianyao reacted the fastest, slamming the table and standing up, shouting out his orders.
Then, roars echoed through the hall, and everyone's expressions were filled with extreme fear.
"It's over! The Dark Divine Guards are here. It must be that tyrant Emperor preparing to strike early!"
"How dare he!?"
"Damn it! The Dark Divine Guards are here for us. Run!"
For a moment, chaos erupted in the hall.
Many people discarded their armor and scattered to escape, wanting to leave the Zhao Family as quickly as possible.
Their previous boldness and ambition were completely forgotten.
"Hmph! You think you can run?"
"Leave some behind for me!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and a bone-chilling aura rushed in from the entrance.
Immediately after, a large number of black-clad Dark Divine Guards poured into the hall.
The leader was a burly man exuding a strong aura of killing.
At this moment, he stared at the crowd with a gloomy expression, slowly drew his sword, and pointed it at them.
"Commander of the Dark Divine Guards, Guimian!"
Some people recognized his identity, and their faces turned pale, trembling violently.
The name Guimian was well-known!
Li Hanshan coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, and a cold smile appeared on his lips beneath the ghost mask.
"It's quite lively here. It seems like everyone is present. You're really considerate, saving me a lot of effort."
Upon hearing these words, the faces of everyone present became even more unsightly. Some timid individuals even trembled, unable to lift their heads.
Li Hanshan's ferocity had long spread throughout Chang'an City. It could be said that the people of Great Qin were terrified at the mention of him.
"Guimian, we are gathering here for a meeting. What do you intend to do?" Zhao Tianyao took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and panic, and asked.
Li Hanshan sneered, glanced at Zhao Tianyao, and taunted, "What do I intend to do? Hehe... I'm just following the orders of His Majesty, specially sending you on a trip to the Yellow Springs!"
"All commanders, as per usual, kill all the men and bring the women back to the imperial palace!"
As soon as his words fell...
"Kill!"
Accompanied by the sound of battle cries, the Dark Divine Guards, like a black tide, crazily attacked the people fleeing in all directions.
Splurt! Splurt!
Blood splattered, and screams echoed throughout the entire Zhao Family mansion.
Especially for those stunning dancers, who were pampered and spoiled, where had they ever seen such a scene? They all covered their heads and scurried away, screaming in fear.
"Ah! Help!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Have mercy! I'm still young, sob..."
