Chapter 114: What if I kill you all, see father again!

【You looked up and saw an old man talking eloquently】

【Du Jing continued: "Thirdly, the Lu Family Army, as the elite of Daqing, eats the monarch's salary but forgets the monarch's grace; this is ungrateful and disloyal."】

【"Fourthly, the current Emperor is benevolent and virtuous, inheriting the legacy of his ancestors, and all within the four seas are comforted. The Emperor is close to virtuous ministers and far from villains, yet you, Shaobao, are trying to force the palace; this is truly without a cause."】

【"I implore the Shaobao to turn back from the wrong path, abandon darkness for light, and do not commit unloyal and unrighteous acts, so that you are recorded in history with a blade!"】

【"My move is truly a helpless one; I cannot bear to see the Shaobao ruined, and even less do I want to see the Lu Family Army become an unrighteous army."】

【You have the ability to know people, so naturally you know his thoughts.】

【He came for fame and profit, his mouth is full of the common people and the country, but his heart is full of desire for fame and profit.】

【You can insult Lu Chen's name, but you cannot deceive the name of the Lu Family Army.】

【The Lu Family Army, they have never asked the court for a single cent; their military pay, even when they were first built, was already self-sufficient, and they have never added any burden to the court.】

【Guarding the border for many years, when did they become an unrighteous army? Countless people died on the battlefield.】

【Jiangnan is singing and dancing, but the northern border is bitter and cold.】

【The principles of the world are not taught this way!】

【The group of scholars behind Du Jing all looked righteous and indignant.】

【Someone shouted: "This is a traitor to the country, kill him."】

【The people in the Lu Family Army frowned one after another!】

【Jia Fu's face flushed red, his hair standing on end with anger.】

【Feng Haiping and others had cold eyes.】

【The soldiers of the Lu Family Army all glared at them!】

【But no one dared to speak!】

【You govern the army strictly, and your subordinates all know that orders must be followed and prohibitions must be stopped; do not speak recklessly in the army, and violators will be severely punished.】

【Although the Lu Family Army was angry, they were able to restrain themselves and did not show signs of taking action.】

【Seeing this, Du Jing felt settled in his heart.】

【Although he was old, he was well-maintained, and his sagging face did not have many wrinkles; at this moment, his face was even more ruddy.】

【He stood with his hands behind his back, a look of pain and indignation on his face.】

【Du Jing thought to himself, if you hurt innocent students in front of this Vast Literature Hall, you are the enemy of all scholars in the world.】

【He felt that he had controlled the situation; whether it was Lu Chen who had cultivated on Mount Zhongnan for fifteen years, or Lu Shaobao who was a god of war, neither could escape this situation.】

【The world is bustling, all for profit; the court is buzzing, all for fame.】

【Who in the world can be free from vulgarity, and the Shaobao is the same.】

【After all, public opinion in the world is never controlled by the common people, but by this group of scholars holding pens.】

【Although they do not hold swords, the sharpness of their pens is sometimes even greater than swords.】

【Among this group of Confucian scholars, you discovered that Feng Long, whom you met by the Yuetang River, was among them.】

【He stood in the center of the crowd, noticed your gaze, a flash of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and his face was only the self-satisfaction of a winner.】

【Feng Long suddenly took off his upper garment and shouted loudly:】

【"Lu Shenzhou, if you still have a sense of shame, how dare you live in this world? You should commit suicide to thank the world!"】

【The voice pierced through the noise of the crowd, stirring up even greater waves.】

【Following Feng Long's shouting, more and more Confucian scholars echoed, waving their arms and shouting:】

【"Lu Shenzhou, if you still know shame, you should die to apologize!"】

【Hearing this, Du Jing's face became even more ruddy.】

【Not only can the pens of scholars kill, but the tongues of scholars can also kill!】

【Hearing this, Lu Yu sneered.】

【Jia Fu finally could not hold back, standing on his horse, roaring: "Are you looking for death?!"】

【This roar exploded in the field, making the group of Confucian scholars instantly silent, and the scene came to an abrupt end.】

【Du Jing took the opportunity to observe your expression, only to see that you were calm and indifferent.】

【He settled his mind and was not panicked, slowly opening his mouth: "Scholars, self-proclaimed as gentlemen, if they dare not speak directly when encountering major events, how cowardly, we are not afraid of death!"】

【Du Jing reminded: "Daqing has been founded for more than four hundred years, and there has never been a case of killing Confucian scholars. Could it be that the Shaobao wants to set this evil precedent today?"】

【After speaking!】

【The Confucian scholars seemed to have recovered from the shock just now, ashamed of their performance just now, not only did they not retreat, but they became even more passionate.】

【They seemed to be driven by some emotion, and their voices sounded again, and they became louder and louder: "At worst, just die! Dying for righteousness is heavier than Mount Tai!"】

【Feng Long stood out and provoked loudly:】

【"Lu Chen, if you have the ability, come and kill me! Let's see how the people of the world view you!"】

【You didn't look at him.】

【Du Jing took the opportunity to lobby again: "Shaobao, man is not a sage, who can be without mistakes? This trip to the palace, stop here!"】

【"If you have a heart of repentance, it's still time to turn back. Throughout history, how many heroes have had moments of turning back from the wrong path, eventually achieving a story."】

【You suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I agree."】

【Hearing this, Du Jing's eyes instantly lit up.】

【Agreed!】

【The smile on Du Jing's face could no longer be suppressed; he calculated in his heart that if he could persuade these tens of thousands of Lu Family Army at this critical moment.】

【Not only would he be famous in the capital after today and be treated with courtesy by the Son of Heaven, but he would also leave a name in history, and later generations would surely pass down the story of "Du Jing scolding awake tens of thousands of troops."】

【A sense of indescribable joy surged in his heart, as if he had already seen the day of his success.】

【Feng Long was a bit unconvinced; this was too cheap for you.】

【He gritted his teeth and said mockingly: "Shaobao, you are really sensible!"】

【The group of Confucian scholars behind him also showed joy on their faces, as if they were honored.】

【Seeing this, Zou Lin felt something was wrong in his heart and was about to step forward, but was quickly stopped by the young general Jiang He.】

【Jiang He had a serious expression and whispered: "Old man, don't go."】

【"The Shaobao is already angry; don't talk about you, whoever stops him today will die."】

【Zou Lin's eyes were still anxiously staring at the field; he knew the tension of the situation!】

【The fat and thin scholars were also frightened, their hands and feet were cold; they finally overlapped the middle-aged man in the temple with the famous Shaobao.】

【In the field!】

【The group of Confucian scholars were still immersed in joy, either showing joy on their faces or secretly calculating the credit they were about to get.】

【Du Jing was even more excited and asked repeatedly: "Is the Shaobao's words true?"】

【You said indifferently: "Naturally true!"】

【Once you said this.】

【The smile on Du Jing's face could no longer be hidden.】

【You said lightly: "Since you want to die."】

【"I agree!"】

【The smile on Du Jing's face instantly froze.】

【It turned out that what you agreed to was the matter of seeking death.】

【The group of Confucian scholars suspected they had misheard, with a look of astonishment, their faces full of shock!】

【Du Jing also couldn't believe it: "Shaobao, you're joking, right"】

【You said coldly: "You seek death, then it will be as you wish!"】

【Du Jing did not retreat at this moment; he straightened his back and said righteously: "Could it be that the Shaobao really wants to cut himself off from the scholars of the world?"】

【His voice carried a bit of questioning, feeling unbelievable about your decision.】

【The Confucian scholars also echoed one after another; they seemed to have heard some huge joke.】

【Feng Long laughed until he leaned forward and backward, mocking: "Shaobao, do you dare?"】

【"My head is here, in front of the place where the scholars of the world worship in the Vast Literature Hall, Lu Shen Zhou, do you dare to kill me?"】

【Someone said: "The previous Shunzong was scolded by the scholars of our Vast Literature Hall until he was furious, but he didn't dare to move us at all. You, a mere Junior Guardian, what can you do?"】

【Among them, some were from famous families, some were child prodigies from various counties, Licentiates, and Metropolitan Graduates who did not enter the court, and they thought highly of themselves.】

【They believed that the Vast Literature Hall represented the scholars of the world and was an existence that no one could easily offend.】

【And the common people watching from the pavilions and roofs also gradually noticed the tense atmosphere in the field.】

【They whispered to each other.】

【Someone asked curiously: "Do you think the Shaobao really dares to move these scholars whose eyes are on the sky?"】

【"Hard to say!" Someone replied, his tone carrying a bit of helplessness, "The most feared thing in this world is the mouths and pens of these scholars; if they start to speak, they can kill people invisibly."】

【"Even several powerful emperors of Daqing governed the world with these scholars!"】

【The discussions of the people in the capital rose one after another; they did not dare to walk on the street, but watched from the roofs of their homes.】

【They were both curious and did not know how this storm would end.】

【The powerful people in the capital were holding their breath and waiting at this moment!】

【Most of them held the same view, believing that you would not act rashly.】

【In their eyes, offending scholars is no different from playing with fire; the public opinion of the world is something even the high-ranking Son of Heaven can hardly bear.】

【Scholars use pens as swords and can easily manipulate the hearts of the people; this is a power that no one can ignore.】

【You rode your horse forward and walked to Zou Lin's side.】

【You said lightly: "What if I kill you all?"】

【"What do you add to the world!"】

【You rode past!】

【The words just fell.】

【A flash of cold light flashed on the side!】

【Jia Fu could no longer hold back, rushed out on a fast horse, and cut off Du Jing's head with one slash.】

【That head with white hair and a face full of horror rolled to the ground without warning, blood splashing everywhere, staining the clothes of the group of Confucian scholars with spots.】

【Before dying, they didn't expect that Lu Chen really dared to kill them!】

【This scene came too suddenly, everyone was stunned, followed by endless fear.】

【They didn't have time to react, only to see the armored warriors in front of them already approaching step by step, the weapons in their hands flashing with cold light.】

【Feng Long's face turned pale; he was horrified to find that his eyelashes were covered in hot blood.】

【He looked around and saw the scholars beside him falling one by one, already in a pool of blood.】

【Pairs of wide-open, terrified eyes, he completely collapsed.】

【Feng Long was afraid, thoroughly afraid!】

【Feng Long knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy, but it was already of no avail.】

【"Spare me, spare... me!"】

【Feng Long's voice trembled, already mixed with sobbing and choking.】

【The ending was irreversible.】

【At this time!】

【A burly monk holding a giant blade galloped over, full of momentum.】

【"So you're the kid who called the loudest? When you get to the underworld, don't forget to report your Buddha's name!"】

【"Save..."】

【A silver light flashed in Feng Long's eyes, followed by unprecedented pain, just for a moment!】

【He tried his best to turn his head, trying to cast his gaze at that person.】

【However, that person had already galloped away.】

【Only a back view was seen.】

【That person rode in the front, seemingly without even looking here!】

【"Damn... it!"】

【Seeing this scene, Zou Lin silently closed his eyes.】

【The fat and thin scholars were indeed frightened, their hands and feet were cold; they finally overlapped the middle-aged man in the temple with the famous Shaobao.】

【Outside the Wumen Gate!】

【With the arrival of the Lu Family Army, the palace gate opened by itself.】

【Liu Wen and Wei Gao had already bowed from afar on the city tower.】

【An old man also stood at the Wumen Gate, his figure a bit hunched, wearing light armor, his appearance somewhat similar to the two of you, but his eyes were calm.】

【Until he saw the two of you, his eyes brightened.】

【You and Lu Yu were happy.】

【You looked at the sun, it had passed the noon!】

【Everything should be solved today.】
