Chapter 101: The wish to sweep the world, worry!

【Everyone holds their breath, their gazes gathering on Dai Zhong, waiting for the decision he is about to make.】

【Yu Chen is also anxious; the position of Minister of the Grand Court of Justice concerns the stability of the capital and the order of all officials, and its importance is self-evident.】

【In recent years, because the Grand Court of Justice has broad powers, including the power to supervise all officials, it has long touched the sensitive nerves of many ministers in the court, who have expressed dissatisfaction either openly or secretly.】

【Every day, the Censorate has a thick stack of memorials accusing the Grand Court of Justice.】

【At this moment!】

【If anything happens to the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice, it is undoubtedly giving a perfect excuse to those ministers in the court who have long been ready to move.】

【They will definitely take the opportunity to attack, pointing the finger at the Grand Court of Justice.】

【The most important thing is!】

【This matter shakes the Son of Heaven's trust in the Grand Court of Justice, which will be the most terrifying thing.】

【Once the Son of Heaven has doubts, the existence of the Grand Court of Justice will be like a candle in the wind, which may disappear at any time.】

【This is what Yu Chen doesn't want to see; after all, the Grand Court of Justice is truly a place for the people.】

【Without the Grand Court of Justice, the powerful and gentry will probably be even more unscrupulous.】

【After hearing Yu Chen's words, Dai Zhong shakes his head.】

【"A real man, indeed, must die in his proper place!"】

【"My life, Dai Zhong's, is also very expensive."】

【Yu Chen hurriedly says: "Minister, you still have a great future; the Emperor trusts you, the people love you..."】

【Dai Zhong does not respond directly, but continues to say to himself: "I have three major wishes in this life; if I cannot achieve them, even if I die, I will die with regret."】

【At this time!】

【Outside comes the clanking sound of iron armor colliding, footsteps hurried and heavy.】

【Extraordinarily eye-catching.】

【Several people in the hall also hear it, feeling the swarms of troops that have entered the Imperial City Division.】

【Xie Linghao and Zhang Lin look at each other, both knowing clearly that outside the Imperial City Division, it must be a sea of people.】

【The city is full of wind and rain.】

【Today's events, one after another, first the Heavenly Drum was destroyed, and now the Imperial City Division has suffered this change; their hearts cannot help but be filled with helplessness and hesitation.】

【The Heavenly Drum is destroyed, and the Imperial City Division has no need to exist.】

【Both of them are nervous, not knowing what kind of blame and punishment they will face in the future.】

【As for that Lu Shaobao!】

【Xie Linghao and Zhang Lin cannot help but feel a burst of regret; the capital might become his burial ground.】

【A hero at the end of his road, nothing more than this.】

【The madness on Wang Shian's face gradually fades, replaced by a strange calmness.】

【A ferocious cold smile appears on his handsome face, piercing toward the three of you.】

【"Wait for death!"】

【He says coldly in a low voice, as if he has already pronounced your fate.】

【Yu Chen is somewhat disheartened; it seems Dai Zhong has no intention of arresting Lu Chen at all.】

【Once the Imperial Guard arrives, the situation before them will be hard to clean up, let alone explain.】

【The old man who has been Vice Minister of the Grand Court of Justice for twenty years sighs.】

【His hanging heart is also dead, so he is no longer as anxious as before, restoring a bit of bearing.】

【He looks at Wang Shian, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes; he feels quite helpless about the impulsiveness and immaturity of this young man.】

【After today, the old man will retire to his hometown! There is nothing to regret.】

【He has walked on thin ice all his life, never making a mistake, never doing anything, so it's considered complete.】

【You look at the old man.】

【You have the ability to recognize people, know the old man's thoughts, and cannot help but smile.】

【Things in the world are unpredictable; in an instant, the state of mind is turned upside down.】

【Hearing Dai Zhong's words, Yu Chen feels an indescribable curiosity.】

【He has worked with Dai Zhong for many years and knows that his superior has a steady and introverted personality, never revealing or discussing his inner thoughts.】

【These heartfelt words today make Yu Chen feel both surprised and moved.】

【Yu Chen cannot help but ask: "Minister, what wishes do you have?"】

【Dai Zhong smiles lightly, his eyes revealing a bit of emotion:】

【"The first wish, I, Dai Zhong, know that I don't have the talent to be a general, but I only ask to be able to stabilize the rear for Lu Shaobao, to do those trivial logistical things, to prevent the collapse of a thousand-mile dike due to an ant hole."】

【"The second wish is to hope that there will be fewer corrupt officials in the world and more good officials who truly petition for the people and do things. As for this last wish..."】

【Dai Zhong says this, his gaze turning to you, "I, Dai Zhong, hope that Lu Shaobao will have more enterprising spirit, to destroy the Northern Winds in the North, sweep the Qianyuan in the West, and never pacify the world."】

【Yu Chen feels confused after hearing this, although he has many doubts in his heart.】

【But seeing Dai Zhong and Lu Chen facing the incoming Imperial Guard, and hearing the footsteps of the Imperial Guard outside, already close at hand, there is no sign of panic on their faces.】

【Wang Shian sneers.】

【"Minister, where does this put His Majesty."】

【"Destroy the Northern Winds, sweep the Qianyuan, it's truly ridiculous!"】

【Truly has a rebellious heart.】

【Wang Shian secretly swears in his heart that he will report everything that happened today to His Majesty word for word, exposing the rebellious heart of the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice Dai Zhong hidden beneath his calmness.】

【There is a ruthless smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he has already seen the moment Dai Zhong falls.】

【Behind the screen, the three women listen quietly to the movement outside.】

【The sound of troops rushing in gets closer and closer, and the heavy footsteps can already be heard in the hall.】

【It seems that in the next moment, the soldiers holding sharp weapons will break in.】

【The three women also hear Dai Zhong's three wishes.】

【Xie Lingxuan lowers her eyes, repeating softly: "Destroy the Northern Winds, sweep the Qianyuan... pacify the world."】

【Under such a situation!】

【Zou Shuning's gaze is locked on you, trying to find a trace of emotional change on your face, but unfortunately, your expression is still as calm as water, as if everything has nothing to do with you.】

【She recalls the scene of meeting you in the temple; it seems you have always been like this.】

【But now!】

【You are in the capital, surrounded by heavy troops, and she cannot help but worry for you.】

【Clearly having met only a short while ago, she has already developed deep concern and worry for you.】

【She thinks secretly, but can't think of any way to help you get out of trouble.】

【Hearing Dai Zhong's three wishes, you don't take up the topic.】

【Lu Yu laughs after hearing this, teasing:】

【"Minister Dai, have you said this before? It sounds familiar; I remember if you were whipped."】

【"Young Commander, you joke."】

【Dai Zhong steals a glance at you, seeing that you are calm and have no anger, his courage becomes sufficient.】

【Fifteen years have passed; recalling every military discussion in the tent, the young commander behind him, that tension and pressure would arise spontaneously.】

【At this time!】

【Dozens of soldiers in armor and holding sharp weapons finally rush into the hall, surrounding several people.】

【They are here!】

【Yu Chen, Zhang Lin, and Xie Linghao sigh one after another.】

【The smile on Wang Shian's face can no longer be controlled.】
