"Is this true!?" He Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, with a look of surprise and greed on his face.
Duan Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "Of course! How can the words of our Emperor of the Iron War Dynasty be untrue?"
"But... I'm afraid this won't be easy. The last time Qiu Wanli was so well prepared, he still fell short." Recalling the scene of the failure to usurp power not long ago, He Zhen was still frightened.
Duan Xuan said, "Qiu Wanli lost to luck. If Bai Zhenshan hadn't recovered suddenly, he would have succeeded. You can't prepare for something like luck. But Lord He, just rest assured, with the full support of our Iron War Dynasty, No matter how good Bai Zhenshan’s luck is, it will eventually run out.”
"Full support?" He Zhen raised his eyebrows.
Duan Xuan immediately took out a thick pile of gold tickets from his arms and said, "These golds were specially allocated by our emperor to Mr. He for the purpose of communicating with the ministers. Hehe... Mr. He, these are all real gold and silver. Now Is it time for you to believe it?”
The Tie Zhan Dynasty was really generous with their actions. This pile of gold tickets was worth several million taels. Even though He Zhen was a first-class minister, he had never seen so much money. At this time, his eyes were a little red.
Duan Xuan saw this, sneered in his heart, and continued, "Master He, this is just the first stroke. In the future, there will be a second and third stroke. As long as Master He is ambitious, our emperor has said, even if I will not hesitate to use gold to put Master He on the throne."
He Zhen swallowed hard for a few times before calming down his restless mood, and said, "The emperor of your country values He so much, how dare He not be so heartless? However, this kind of rice can support all kinds of people. Some can be bought with gold, and some can be bought with gold. But it’s not possible for others, such as the Xu family, no matter how much gold they are given, they will not give in. "
"If gold can take care of everything, then every time the throne is passed on, there won't be so much blood shed. Then as long as everyone takes out their gold, compares the amount, and whoever has more will be the emperor, then everything will be simple. . What our emperor means is that with gold in one hand and a big stick in the other! With both inducement and coercion, why worry about great things?"
"Heroes see the same thing! I mean the same thing. People like the Xu family can only die! Hahaha..." Duan Xuan's words pierced He Zhen's heart. After receiving so much frustration from the Xu family these days, He Zhen seemed to have seen the perfect opportunity to vent his bad breath, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Dad, your son has been bullied like this, and you can still laugh?" He Zhenzhen smiled happily, and He Yanxu ran in with a dark face and full of grievances.
He Zhen usually doted on He Yanxu and rarely scolded him, but at this time in front of Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, he did not want to be too embarrassed. His face sank and he said, "Don't be ridiculous. I didn't see that dad is receiving distinguished guests." ?"
While He Zhen scolded He Yanxu, he said apologetically to Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu, "This is Quanzi Yanxu. He has been spoiled by me since he was a child. He is very shameless. Please don't mind."
Duan Xuan smiled, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter! However, Mr. He looks like he has been bullied."
When Duan Xuan said this, the grievance on He Yanxu's face immediately became exaggerated, as if he was about to cry.
He Zhen frowned. He was just such a son. He was a single son for several generations. He was a precious child. Seeing that He Yanxu seemed to be really bullied, a flash of anger immediately flashed across his face and asked, "Yanxu, what's going on? "
"Dad! Your son was almost chopped down with a sword by some untouchables from Tiandu Kingdom. You must help me avenge this." He Yanxu hugged He Zhen's arm and cried loudly, "Back then I I said I didn’t want to go to Qingyun Martial Arts Academy, but you insisted on letting me go. Now it’s better, I almost lost my life..."
"That's unreasonable!" When He Zhen heard that his only seedling was almost chopped down, what's the point? The anger on his face immediately increased exponentially.
Duan Xuan also frowned slightly and asked, "Why, the ones bullying Mr. He are actually some Tiandu people?"
He Yanxu sobbed a few times, nodded heavily, and said with infinite hatred in his voice, "It's them! One of them bullied me, it's extremely hateful!"
"You have rebelled against them! Yanxu, don't worry, dad will definitely vent your anger on you!" After saying that, He Zhen looked at Duan Xuan and said, "Master Duan, aren't you and Tiandu Kingdom sworn enemies? A few little bastards from Tiandu Kingdom shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
He Zhen is angry, but he also knows that although Qingyun Martial Arts Academy ignores government affairs, it is not an ordinary place. Nine out of ten civil and military officials in the dynasty came from Qingyun Martial Arts Academy. If you go too far, you will definitely Criticized. But if Duan Xuan and the others take action, they won't have so many worries.
Nowadays, the Tie Zhan Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the ministers in the court are afraid of it. Even Bai Zhenshan is not willing to offend easily, let alone pursue a few students from Tiandu Kingdom. Even if we take 10,000 steps back and pursue the case, He Zhen cannot be held accountable.
He Zhen's thoughts are clear to Duan Xuan. Although he was a little unhappy about being used by He Zhen, even if there was no such thing as He Yanxu, Yue Zhong and others, Duan Xuan would not let them go. The grass still needs to be removed at the root, not to mention that Yue Zhong and the others are not grass at all, but strong saplings that will eventually grow into towering trees. If we don't kill them completely before they grow up, they will definitely become the formidable enemies of the Iron War Dynasty in the future.
"What's the problem? They're just some little bastards. I'll deal with them!" Wei Chunqiu said before Duan Xuan could speak.
Duan Xuan smiled and said, "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Duan Biao and Duan Peng!"
Duan Xuan said hello, and two figures immediately flew over from more than ten feet away and bowed in front of Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan pointed at them and smiled at He Zhen and said, "Both of them are my retainers and have been with me for a long time. They have good cultivation and are smart and capable. They are enough to deal with a few little bastards." "
Wei Chunqiu looked Duan Biao and Duan Peng up and down, and nodded slightly. Both of them are at the peak of the seventh level of zhenqi. They are only half a step away from reaching the eighth level. They are indeed more than enough to deal with a few students from Qingyun Martial Academy.
Seeing that Duan Xuan really wanted to say this for him, He Yanxu was not polite, waved at the two of them and said, "Follow me!"
Duan Xuan was used to being bossy, and he thought everyone would listen to him. Duan Biao and Duan Peng turned a deaf ear to He Yanxu's words, and didn't even look at him. They just looked at Duan Xuan, which made Mr. He very embarrassed.
Duan Xuan smiled and said, "You all must follow Mr. He's command and make no mistakes!"
"Yes!" Duan Biao and Duan Peng responded in unison.
"Yan Xu, Qingyun Martial Arts Academy is not an ordinary place. If you want to take action, you can't do it there. Wait until they leave Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and then look for another opportunity!" He Zhen warned.
Duan Biao and Duan Peng were infinitely stronger than Zhou Dachuan and Zhao Mingliang. With these two super thugs, He Yanxu felt more honored. Thinking of Yue Zhong and the others kneeling down to beg for mercy, he was even more excited. It was rare that He really heard the advice in his heart and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, your son knows what to do."
"Eh? Why are you here?" Wan Youqi had just finished washing and walked out of the room when she saw Shangguan Yunzhu standing in front of her door with a smile on her face. Not only Shangguan Yunzhu, but also Yue Zhong, Tan Jian, Qiu Xing, Liu Zhi and Ye Mei also came.
"Giggle... I miss my aunt." Shangguan Yunzhu hugged Wan Youqi's arm and shook it while saying.
"You are the only one who talks sweetly!" Wan Youqi rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yunzhu and said.
"Auntie, let's go, have breakfast, and we will accompany you to Honglu Temple."
"I already said no, you should go back to Qingyun Martial Arts Academy to practice."
"It doesn't matter, this day won't happen again." Shangguan Yunzhu seemed to have made up his mind.
Wan Youqi couldn't resist Shangguan Yunzhu, and just as she was about to nod in agreement, a deliberately suppressed cry of pain suddenly came from the room next to her.
"Elder Qing!" Wan Youqi's expression changed and she hurried in. I happened to see Shangguan Qingzheng vomiting blood.
Shangguan Yunzhu, who rushed in afterwards, was a little frightened, with a look of panic on his face.
"Elder Qing, your injury..." Wan Youqi carefully investigated Shangguan Qing's condition and found that Shangguan Qing's injuries had worsened a lot overnight. If this continues, I'm afraid his life will be in danger soon.
Shangguan Qing's face was full of reluctance and he said, "Are the lives of my two brothers really going to be ruined in the hands of this old man Wei Chunqiu?"
"Elder Qing, please don't say that. You must persist. I will find the best doctor for you right away. I will definitely cure you." Wan Youqi comforted Shangguan Qing and said anxiously said.
"Youqi, I know my own injuries. Unless I find a medical saint, I'm afraid it won't be cured." Shangguan Qing said with a bitter look on his face.
"Medical Saint?" Wan Youqi couldn't help but be stunned, with layers of sorrow on her face. Although she had heard of this medical saint, she had never seen it before, let alone where to look for it.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. With the Medical Saint here, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as he has a breath, he can cure it." Yue Zhong suddenly shouted with joy.
Wan Youqi couldn't help being startled, turned to look at him, and asked in a nagging voice, "Do you know the Medical Saint?"
"Hahaha... Why don't you know me? Ye Mei's sister Ye Ling is the disciple of the Medical Sage. I have been to the Medical Sage's house several times!"
"What!?" Wan Youqi felt as if she had been hit in the head by a pie weighing more than a hundred kilograms, and she was confused for a while.
"Yes! My sister is indeed the apprentice of Senior Medical Saint, General Wan, without further ado, let's take Elder Qing to the Medical Saint's Mansion immediately!" Ye Mei said hurriedly when she saw that Wan Youqi seemed a little unconvinced.
This girl Ye Mei is innocent and cute, and she looks like the kind of person who can't lie. Wan Youqi can't help but believe her words. Although she was convinced, the shock in her heart did not diminish at all. He turned around and looked at Yue Zhong and the others, sighing in his heart, these young people who are far away from home are really not simple, they are not ordinary promising!
She was right, the hope for the future of Tiandu Kingdom lies with them. (To be continued)
