"Young Marquis, is it possible that you want to favor this treacherous traitor?" In front of so many people, He Zhen had no choice but to take into account his reputation as a first-class official, and had to force himself to stay calm, lest he appear too cowardly and lose his temper. identity.
"Rebel?" Wan Dong's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he suddenly waved to He Zhen. Poor He Zhen, who had no strength to tie a chicken, was immediately covered by an invisible force, soared into the air, and flew straight in front of Wan Dong. , was grabbed by the throat by Wandong.
Face to face with Wan Dong, less than a foot away, He Zhen could clearly see the murderous aura rolling like a tide in the depths of Wan Dong's eyes. In an instant, it was enough to freeze his heart into a lump of ice.
"Xu Yaoting, you... what are you going to do? I am a first-rank minister of the imperial court. If you kill me, you will not escape death!" He Zhen said with a trembling voice as he felt frightened.
"Yao Ting, please don't be impulsive. Let Master He go quickly." Tang Xinyi saw that things were getting worse and worse, and she was very nervous. She rushed forward and tried to persuade him.
Wan Dong stared at He Zhen and shouted with anger, "Thank you for having the nerve to call others traitors. I think you are the bane of the Qingyun Empire! You are despicable and selfish. If you don't die, God won’t agree!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wandong's fingers tightened around He Zhen's throat. When had He Zhen ever suffered such a crime? An old face turned red in the blink of an eye, and the brows were full of pain.
Seeing that He Zhen was really about to be strangled to death by Wandong, Tang Xinyi was very anxious and said quickly, "Yao Ting, if you really kill He Zhen, you will have caused a huge disaster and you will be beheaded." !”
"Beheading? Hahaha... Not to mention the entire Qingyun Empire, even the entire Dongxuan Continent, who can kill my Xu Yaoting's head!?"
What Wandong said was confident enough, but also crazy enough! Many of the young students present were fascinated by it. Even Lei Ming was no exception, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Tang Xinyi's face was full of bitterness. With Wandong's state of perfection, looking at the world, there are really only a few people who can kill him. It is really ridiculous to want to use death to suppress him.
"Okay Yaoting, let He Zhen go. Killing such a person will only dirty your hands. One day, God will accept him!" Wu Daozi patted Wandong's shoulder lightly and opened his mouth. said.
"Don't be afraid, disciple! As long as killing this thief can make you feel better, master!" Wan Dong seemed determined to kill He Zhen, which made Tang Xinyi's heart feel as if it had fallen into an abyss. sank.
"Yao Ting, if you really kill him, I'm afraid I won't feel better, but it will be even worse. The emperor already dislikes me enough, and he can't do anything to you, so all the fire will still be spread. What happened to me? My teacher is old and can no longer bear the hardship. Now I just want to find a quiet place and live a stable life for a few days. "
"Master!" After hearing Wu Daozi's words, Wan Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
It is said that the power of the Xu family has reached its peak and is terrifying. But in the end, Wandong still can't keep his master. He can only watch Wu Daozi leave his hometown and go far away at such an old age. , Wandong's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
"He Zhen! You dog head, I'll put it on your neck first! You'd better show some understanding to me, otherwise, I will cut it off at any time! Get out of here!" Wandong gritted his teeth and said, and suddenly moved his arm. Shaking up, He Zhen's body, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, seemed to have wings. With a whoosh, it flew more than ten feet away and fell to pieces. After landing, he didn't dare to say a word, endured the pain and got up, and ran away in disgrace.
"Yao Ting, you have offended He Zhen severely this time." Looking at He Zhen who fled quickly, Wu Daozi shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"So what? If Master hadn't interceded for him today, I would have killed him. When the time comes, let's see what the Emperor can do to me, Xu Yaoting!"
"Hey! No matter what, he is the emperor after all. We ministers, no matter when, even if we are greatly wronged, we must not forget the righteousness of being ministers!"
Wan Dong knew Wu Daozi's character and was most loyal, so he would not argue with him to avoid making him unhappy. He nodded and said, "Master's teachings, I will keep them in mind."
"But Professor, do you really want to leave Yunzhong City?" Lei Ming said with a look of reluctance.
Wu Daozi gently wiped the blood from his face, and said lovingly, "Didn't I say that I have been tired for so many years, so I just took this opportunity to find a place to live a stable life." You don't have to feel sorry for me. It's you, Lei Ming. You have outstanding talents and are willing to work hard. You are already the best among your peers. It's a pity that you have an ordinary background and no background. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get ahead with the help of noble people. In my opinion, you might as well join Yaoting’s Dingshan Guards and you’ll definitely achieve great things in the future!”
"The instructor asked me to join the Dingshan Guards and follow him?" Lei Ming turned to look at Wandong, his brows slightly furrowed.
Wan Dong knew that Lei Ming had never wanted to see Xu Yaoting, and it was probably difficult to get him to join the Dingshan Guards, so he felt a pity in his heart.
However, what Wandong didn't expect was that after pondering for a moment, Lei Ming's slightly frowned brows suddenly showed and he smiled and said, "Even if I want to join Dingshan Guard, others may not be willing to accept me."
"Take it! Take it! Why don't you take it!?" As soon as Lei Ming finished speaking, Wan Dong shouted in a hurry.
In his eyes, Lei Ming was just a treasure. Now he fell into his arms out of thin air. Only a fool would not accept it!
Wandong's reaction made Lei Ming very happy. As for talents, what they fear most is that they are not taken seriously and that their talents are cast aside secretly. However, Lei Ming still tried his best to suppress his inner excitement, and said to Wandong seriously, "It's okay to let me join Dingshan Guard, but I have something to say first. If you use Dingshan Guard to do something to bully others, then I won't agree." , will exit at any time”
"Hahaha... don't worry! As long as you join Dingshan Guard, there is no reason to quit!" I thought Lei Ming was going to say something, but it turned out to be this. Wandong was calm and laughed loudly.
"Great! You two are both civil and military. I think this Dingshan Guard is like a tiger with a pair of wings. I'm afraid it won't take long to become famous all over the world! Hahaha..."
Wu Daozi smiled happily! As a teacher, the most satisfying thing is to see the disciples you teach become famous all over the world. In his mind, the combination of Lei Ming and Wandong was invincible! Even if he leaves, he can feel at ease.
"Master, where are you going after you leave Yunzhong City?" Wandong asked with a condensed look on his face.
Wu Daozi sighed softly and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, let's leave Yunzhong City first."
Wan Dong nodded, Huo De turned to look at Wu Yang and said, "Wu Yang, you lead the Dingshan Guards to escort my master all the way. You must ensure the safety of his old man without any mistakes!"
"No! Yaoting, the emperor's decree is clear. No one is allowed to send Senior Wu away. Not only do you want to send him off, but you also send an army to escort him all the way. Isn't this going against the emperor? If the emperor finds out, he will definitely be angry. Yes!" Tang Xinyi hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
"Humph... So what if he is angry? Just ask him to send someone to arrest me. I, Xu Yaoting, will never escape! I tell you, you can go back and tell the emperor that not only will I send my master away, but I will also do it in a glorious way. Send it!”
"Yao Ting, you..."
"Wu Yang, did you hear my order?" Wan Dong shouted loudly, interrupting Tang Xinyi's words unceremoniously.
"Yes!" Wu Yang was even more unambiguous, and immediately let out a shout, which shocked everyone!
"Boss, I want to escort the instructor with Wu Yang, is that okay?" Since he agreed to join the Dingshan Guards, Lei Ming has already opened up his heart. This call of "boss" is very smooth and natural.
"What's wrong with this? My master's safety is entrusted to you two!" Wandong agreed without thinking, which greatly excited Lei Ming and made him more determined to follow Wandong.
"Yao Ting, your wishes are accepted by the master. It's just a large army escort, so there's no need for it." Wu Daozi still didn't want to cause trouble for Wandong, so he took the initiative to say.
But Wan Dong didn't listen, waved his hand and said, "Master, you don't need to say any more, this is not only my intention, but also my grandfather's intention! You are my mentor, if you want to leave, my apprentice's I won’t give it away, because I’m afraid my grandfather will disown me as his grandson.”
"Hey... Prince Xu has his heart..." Wu Daozi was greatly moved, with tears in his eyes.
Wandong said no more, ordered someone to bring in some horses, and personally helped Wu Daozi and Ah Fu onto the horses. Then he climbed onto the horse, waved his hand, and shouted, "Let's go!"
Several horses and thousands of Dingshan guards immediately surrounded Wu Daozi and marched toward the city gate in a mighty manner. Seeing this situation, Tang Xinyi wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare to stop him anymore. If she stopped her again, Wandong would probably fall out with her on the spot, which Tang Xinyi was not willing to face anyway. I could only watch Wan Dong and the others walk away.
The officers and soldiers stationed at the city gate didn't dare to say anything when they saw this scene. They opened the city gate early, then separated on both sides and respectfully sent Wu Daozi out of the city. People who didn't know it thought that What important task did the emperor entrust to Wu Daozi? Who would have thought that Wu Daozi was expelled from Yunzhong City
Arriving outside the city, Wu Daozi stopped his horse and said to Wandong, "Yao Ting, we have seen each other for thousands of miles, but we must say goodbye eventually. Master and disciple, you and me, let's part here."
When Wu Daozi said this, an inexplicable sadness suddenly surged in Wandong's heart, and he murmured, "Master, we say goodbye, master and disciple, and I don't know when we will meet again. You, old man, must take care of yourself." What a good body!” (To be continued)
