Chapter 705: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! 【4】

~7 min read 1,331 words

When Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were all seated opposite Duan Yu.

Two different auras seemed to begin their first round of collision within the hall.

Although Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were the respective spokesmen for the Clear Stream faction and the Yuan clan.

In terms of camps, the three of them all belonged to the opposition of Duan Yu.

Coupled with the matter of snatching credit yesterday, the atmosphere inside the room was exceptionally oppressive at this moment.

It was as if killing intent was contained even within the air.

Duan Yu, clad in black armor with a bright red cloak behind him, blew the tea leaves on his tea bowl, took a sip, and then placed the bowl on the table before looking at Wang Yun and the others.

The hatred for the murder of his son caused Wang Yun's gaze to be filled with the flavor of vengeance when it landed on Duan Yu.

This was the first time Wang Yun had seen Duan Yu.

From the moment Wang Yun first heard Duan Yu's name until now, only a year and a half had passed.

The first time Wang Yun heard Duan Yu's name, Duan Yu was still in Jinyang, still a tiny County Captain.

But today, just a year and a half later, Duan Yu was already the Governor of Liangzhou.

The hatred for the murder of his son was irreconcilable.

Looking at Zhu Jun, although it was also his first time seeing Duan Yu, and the two had no prior enmity.

But just now, Duan Yu had indulged his subordinates in humiliating Sun Jian, and there was also the implication of pointing at the mulberry to curse the locust tree; it was clear that this matter of snatching credit could not end well.

If one were to say who appeared the calmest, it was still Huangfu Song.

The hall was silent.

The Little Huangmen Zuo Feng sat in the main seat and also did not speak.

Duan Yu put down the teacup in his hand.

Then, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said: "Since no one is speaking, then let this General speak first."

Duan Yu's gaze condensed as he looked at Zhu Jun: "I presume this must be the Right Colonel of the Gentlemen of the Household."

"Hmph." Zhu Jun snorted.

"This General heard that yesterday at the Xun River, you indulged your subordinates in snatching the head of Bo Cai, and even said something like..."

"Oh."

Duan Yu reached out and pointed at his own head, smiling as he said: "Right, you also said to let this General's subordinates recognize their own position clearly, otherwise, be careful about losing their heads?"

"Hmph, so what, I said those words." Zhu Jun said with his eyebrows raised: "Duan Ziyi, others fear you, but I do not."

"Your subordinates snatched the credit first, and used a heavy crossbow to point at my subordinate, the Assistant Army Sima Sun Jian."

"On this point alone, as the Right Colonel of the Gentlemen of the Household, I have the reason to take them down."

"Oh?" Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, then slowly stood up from his seat.

As Duan Yu, clad in heavy armor, stood up.

That aura, which had just been like a mountain, seemed to be magnified countless times in an instant.

With a height of nearly two meters, coupled with an increasingly robust physique.

Just by standing there, Duan Yu exuded an extremely fierce aura.

Although Zhu Jun's mouth was tough, when Duan Yu stood up, Zhu Jun still subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist.

However, Duan Yu did not even glance at Zhu Jun.

He called out toward the direction outside the hall: "Qu Yi."

Outside the hall, Qu Yi, hearing Duan Yu's summons, walked to the door of the hall and bowed: "Lord Marquis, this subordinate is here."

Duan Yu reached out and pointed at the Assistant Army Sima Sun Jian, who was also standing at the door outside the hall.

"He is that Assistant Army Sima named Sun Jian who snatched the credit from you, right?"

Qu Yi nodded.

Duan Yu flicked the cloak behind him and, with a 'swish', drew his sword from its scabbard at his waist.

The next second, a cold light flashed, tumbled in the air, and then landed steadily in front of Qu Yi, plunging into the floorboards at Qu Yi's feet with a 'thud'.

Qu Yi looked up at Duan Yu, not understanding Duan Yu's intention for a moment.

Duan Yu did not explain much either, but instead turned his gaze toward Sun Jian, who was standing outside the door.

"You, come here." Duan Yu beckoned to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian, standing outside the hall, frowned, pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Only then did Sun Jian step into the hall.

Almost standing in a row with Qu Yi.

At this moment in the room, the Little Huangmen Zuo Feng had come with the Imperial will; he was an Angel.

No matter how high one's official rank was, in front of an Angel, one had to act as if facing the Emperor.

Duan Yu was a Governor of Liangzhou, a General Who Breaks the Qiang, and a Marquis of Duxiang.

Wang Yun was the Inspector of Yuzhou, and Zhu Jun was the Right Colonel of the Gentlemen of the Household.

And Huangfu Song was the Left Colonel of the Gentlemen of the Household.

Sun Jian, this Assistant Army Sima with a salary of one thousand shi, no matter how awesome he would be in the future, had to stand now.

And the Duan Yu of now was no longer the Duan Yu of over a year ago.

The future master of Hebei, Yuan Shao, was his friend.

The Martial Emperor of Wei, Cao Cao, was his little follower.

His opponents now, no matter how one counted, would never be a Sun Jian.

At Sun Jian's current age, if one didn't look into the future, at this age and this rank, he really wasn't even fit to carry Duan Yu's shoes.

"Draw the sword." Duan Yu said softly.

Qu Yi, almost without any hesitation, directly drew Duan Yu's sword from in front of him.

Duan Yu pursed his lips toward Sun Jian's direction and then smiled: "Cut him."

Sun Jian was stunned.

A pair of eyes widened instantly.

Zhu Jun, who was sitting next to Wang Yun, stood up immediately, looked at Duan Yu, and shouted: "Duan Yu, what are you doing!"

However, Qu Yi did not care about that.

Since it was Duan Yu's order, then he could only obey.

Qu Yi, holding the horizontal sword, raised it and swung it toward the top of Sun Jian's head.

Sun Jian immediately dodged backward subconsciously, and then took the opportunity to draw the straight sword from his waist as well.

However, the battle sword had just been drawn in an instant.

When he suddenly felt a black shadow arrive at his side.

By the time Sun Jian turned his head to look, he saw a pair of cold eyes filled with killing intent.

"Presumptuous." Duan Yu shouted angrily: "In front of this General, you dare to draw your sword? You are courting death!"

As he spoke, Duan Yu's fist slammed directly into Sun Jian's chest.

Sun Jian's reaction was considered fast; he retracted his arms and used the straight sword in his hand to block in front of his chest.

However.

How could this block Duan Yu's punch?

Duan Yu's fist smashed directly onto Sun Jian's straight sword.

The next second, the blade snapped, and Sun Jian was also sent flying backward, his feet leaving the ground, by Duan Yu's punch.

Even the heart-protecting mirror on his chest armor was shattered by Duan Yu's punch.

"Pfft!"

Sun Jian, while in mid-air, spat out blood directly. ===== CHAPTER 707 =====
