(Third update) Dozens of people outside the main hall were walking towards them, and more than a dozen of them were captain-level figures. Even the two captains Lei Xing and Li Zong were among them, but what made them the most... The most shocked person was the young man named the leader.
Because whether this man is Hao Yan, Han Xu, or Li Meixuan, all three of them know each other and have interacted with each other. Because this person is Xing Jue.
But what shocked them was that Xing Jue was actually wearing Tianji Camp's unique armor at this moment, and he actually had a red cloak behind him. As the cloak danced in the wind, they could vaguely see three big black characters. , Captain.
Today's Xingjue was supposed to be a slave in a slave camp, but he actually appeared here at this moment and became the captain. Looking at Lei Xing and others, they seemed to respect him very much. This is simply Hao Yan. Things that others cannot imagine.
But compared to the simple shock of Han Xu and Li Meixuan, Hao Yan was more than that at this moment, but felt an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.
Now he already knows about his relationship with Haozhen's grandson, and has witnessed with his own eyes the process of Xing Jue having his power sealed and being demoted to a slave, and he has even replaced Xing Jue's position as the number one scholar and taken the position of captain. Location.
And looking at the large group of people walking towards his hall, his grandfather Haozhen, whom he relied on most, was not there, and the captains of the Iron-Blooded Continent all had earth-colored faces, as if they had been hit hard.
Looking at Lei Xing again, Li Zong and the guys in other continents who were trampled under their feet were all in high spirits and with glorious faces at this moment. All these things told him that something big might have happened.
"Bold Haoyan"
"Come here, arrest me."
Just as Hao Yan was analyzing the situation in front of him, Lei Xing suddenly pointed at Hao Yan and shouted. The sound was so loud that Hao Yan couldn't help but tremble. At the same time, more than a dozen captains behind him were even more shocked. Like arrows leaving the string, they actually swarmed up and rushed towards Haoyan at great speed, and among them, there were several people from the Iron Blood Continent.
Although Hao Yan's strength was extraordinary, he was still only a junior warrior saint after all. He was helpless against the siege of more than a dozen intermediate warrior saints. Before he could react, he was already firmly captured by everyone.
"Let me go, are you going to rebel?" Although he already felt that something was wrong, Hao Yan, who was used to bullying others, still showed a ferocious look, like a bound tiger, Zhang Biting his fangs everywhere.
"Hao Yan, you, Hao Zhen, Zhang Hong, and the bullying of Master Xing Jue have been exposed. Now the emperor knows everything and Zhang Hong has been executed."
"You and your grandfather are both unforgivable sinners and should have been executed. However, Lord Xingjue was generous and spared your life. However, you two are still waiting for the crime. You'd better be honest with me. , otherwise you will suffer." Lei Xing yelled again, and while speaking, he conveyed the general story of the matter to Hao Yan, Han Xu, and Li Meixuan.
"What? General Zhang Hong was killed?"
After hearing all this, he looked at the situation in front of him. Although Hao Yan had doubts, he had to believe it. At this moment, he was like a deflated ball, completely thrown away. His face was full of loss and frustration. Another half-sentence.
Seeing Hao Yan like this, the people in the Iron-Blooded Continent couldn't help but feel even more sad, while the people in the Thunder Continent, Piaomiao Continent, and other continents in the mortal world were filled with hatred. The anger they had accumulated in their hearts was finally vented at this moment. While talking, the captains who had captured Hao Yan were about to take Hao Yan to the cell of Tianji Camp and imprison him.
"Wait!" But at this moment, Xing Jue suddenly waved his hand to stop him.
Xing Jue's sudden words made everyone stunned, and then they all turned their attention to Xing Jue, waiting for Xing Jue's announcement.
"Hao Yan, please give me a drink of the basin of foot washing water on the floor." Xing Jue said with a faint smile, pointing to the basin of foot washing water where Hao Yan had just soaked his feet.
"Xing Jue, don't go too far. You want me to drink this stuff instead of killing me." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Hao Yan became even more furious, roaring and struggling crazily. I wish I could bite Xing Jue to death alive.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't drink. It will be easy for you to die. But if you miss your old grandfather, Haozhen. If you can't even die after being tortured, then choose not to drink or choose to die." Xingjue didn't care about Hao Yan's roar at all, but continued to speak in a neither serious nor serious tone.
"You...you are so despicable"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Hao Yan was stunned. He who had been furious before suddenly became depressed. After clenching his teeth, he insulted Xing Jue in a very harsh tone.
"Hahaha, despicable?"
"No matter how despicable my punishment is, can it be as despicable as you? No matter how excessive my punishment is, can it be as despicable as yours?"
"Hao Yan, I will tell you today that I, Xing Jue, have never said that I am a righteous, selfless, and great hero who takes saving the common people as his own duty."
"I, Xing Jue, am a selfish and selfish ghost. What I do and what I want to do is very simple."
"I just use my own strength to protect my relatives, my lover, and my friends, and prevent everyone around me from being harmed. And whoever dares to take action against the people around me, I will definitely ask him to pay double the price." The price will be paid back."
"You have to drink the foot-washing water today, or you have to drink it if you don't want to. If you nod now, I will let you drink it alone."
"If you insist on forcing me to drink something from you, from now on I will serve you with foot-washing water for three meals a day, and your despicable, cruel and cunning grandfather, Haozhen, will serve you three meals a day. Enjoy the same treatment as you”
Xing Jue suddenly seemed to be a different person. He pointed his finger at Hao Yan and shouted loudly. His words were so sharp and his momentum so compelling that even Lei Xing and Li Zong were impressed by him.
The other people's eyes widened even more, and they couldn't believe it. A few days ago, they were just mortals who came to Tianji Camp to participate in the test and assessment. Even now, they only have the Xingjue of the Intermediate War Saint, and they can actually exude such power. Come on, at this moment, they were completely stunned by Xing Jue's words.
"Let me go, I'll drink!"
At this moment, Hao Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness and anger. Although his character is a little bad, he still has some integrity, and he still loves his grandfather Haozhen very much. Although he has only known each other for less than a month, he has been regarded as an orphan since he was a child, but he likes him very much. As a grandfather, he enjoys the nourishment of this kind of family affection.
"Let him go." Seeing Hao Yan's appearance, Xing Jue said to the captains who had firmly captured Hao Yan. Seeing this, the captains quickly let go of Hao Yan.
"Tap tap tap tap" Hao Yan slowly walked towards the place where he was sitting before. Every step seemed to be very heavy, at least for him.
"Gudonggudonggudonggudong"
Hao Yan picked up the foot washing water in which he had just soaked his feet, and started to drink it. At this moment, everyone who hated Hao Zhen and Hao Yan looked happy on their faces, and felt so happy in their hearts. It's called comfortable. They can describe it in one word at this moment, that is, refreshing.
"alright."
But just when those who hated Hao Zhen and Hao Yan were enjoying themselves, Xing Jue suddenly raised his hand again and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong? Is one pot not enough?"
"Then have another pot!" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Hao Yan shouted loudly.
"It's nothing, but you don't have to drink anymore." In response to Hao Yan's angry rebuke, Xing Jue was not angry at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly.
"Han Xu, Li Meixuan, let's go to dinner. We haven't seen you for such a long time, I really miss you." Then Xing Jue waved to Han Xu and Li Meixuan, then turned and walked out of the palace.
"Lord Xing Jue, what should we do with this Hao Yan?" Seeing Xing Jue leaving immediately, Lei Xing and others stepped forward and asked. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Xing Jue, waiting for Xing Jue's arrival. Sentence.
"In the end, this matter has nothing to do with Hao Yan. He is just a puppet under the instructions of others. As for his excessive behavior towards Han Xu and Meixuan, it has just been settled."
"From today on, we can take back this Hao Mansion and demote Hao Yan to the rank of military guard. There is no need to embarrass Hao Yan and Hao Zhen anymore."
Xingjue turned his head and spoke calmly, but such a calm sentence was an ironclad command.
Then they pulled Han Xu and Li Meixuan and walked towards the outside of Hao Mansion while talking and laughing. After everyone looked at each other, they also followed Xing Jue and others and walked over, leaving only the dumbfounded Looking at Xing Jue's back, Hao Yan was a little overwhelmed.
If Hao Yan refused to drink the foot-washing water, Xing decided to keep his word and let him drink the foot-washing water with three meals a day. But since he drank it, and it was his grandfather Haozhen who drank it, Xing Jue decided to let him go once, because Xing Jue likes people with backbone, and at least there are no people who can give up their dignity to do such a thing for their loved ones. Bad to the core, there is help!
After leaving Hao Mansion, Xing Jue had a big meal with Han Xu, Li Meixuan, Lei Xing, Li Zong, and the captains of the Tianji Battalion, including the captains from the Iron Blood Continent.
Although he harbors hatred towards Haozhen and others, after all, innocent people should not be implicated. As long as they have not made any serious mistakes, they will be treated equally by the punishment.
Faced with such an open-minded punishment, the captains from the Iron-Blooded Continent also began to feel guilty and blame themselves. Suddenly, they felt that their previous oppression and contempt for other continents seemed to be a shameful behavior.
I had a great time eating this meal and drinking this wine very much. Everyone present, except for the captains of the Iron Blood Continent who were a little bit confused, Xing Jue and others only had two words, happy.
Because the losses they suffered and the oppression they suffered have all been repaid today, and all these changes are only due to one person, that is Xing Jue.
