"You brought this upon yourself. You can't live."
Jia Xu was good at observing people's hearts. At this moment, seeing this, he could not help but shake his head and say, expressing his speechlessness…
Jia Xu was very clear about Li Qiu's character.
In his opinion, these people were Li Jiancheng's former subordinates. If they were polite and sincerely helped, Li Qiu would not treat them unfairly even if he did not entrust them with important tasks.
However, these people were self-righteous and relied on their status as elders to be very arrogant. He even asked for all kinds of important positions…
What do you think you are capable of?
To lead troops and manage internal affairs? Do you have the ability?
If he really had this ability, how could he appear here?
He had probably submitted to Li Er or died with Li Jiancheng, right?
Jia Xu really didn't believe that if they were the top figures under Li Jiancheng, Li Er would let them live well!
Therefore, Jia Xu had long seen through that these people relied on his status as an elder to come and curry favor with Li Qiu and casually take advantage of him.
What use was this kind of person?
If they really cared about Li Qiu, why did they have to come at this time?
At the very least, after Li Qiu proclaimed himself king, he should have received the news and come over, right?
Looking at their stunned and shocked expressions, Jia Xu shook his head again and did not say anything.
If you don't follow the same path, you can't plan together.
……
"Young Master, could it be…we have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and we have to be treated like this by you?”
" We have followed my lord in a bloody battle. Even if we don't have any merits, we have worked hard. Now, on account of my lord's kindness, we have come to seek refuge, but you..."
"Young master, may I ask why?!”
Their voices were like weeping blood…
Jia Xu was speechless.
Seeing this, Li Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
"Interesting."
"All of you are cowardly and betray your master for glory. Now, you still dare to spout nonsense in front of this king?!”
"If you are truly loyal, why didn't you fight alongside my father during the Black Tortoise Sect's coup?!”
"Why is he dead, but you can come here alive?!”
"You want to be in a high position the moment you open your mouth. Who do you think you are?”
"Elder? Having elders like you is a disgrace to me, Li Qiu!”
"Besides…"
Li Qiu raised his hand and pointed at a few of them."You, you, you…and you, you've already sided with Li Er, right?”
"Young Master, why do you say that?" We are loyal to the lord and young master…"
" As for why we didn't die during the incident at the Black Tortoise Sect, it was because we were too far away from you. After the incident, we wanted to find you and avenge you. That's why we kept ourselves alive and killed our way out…"
"Shut up!"
Li Qiu stood up and kicked the person who spoke out.
After that person landed on the ground, he instantly coughed up a large mouthful of blood, which was mixed with pieces of internal organs. It seemed that he was not going to live…
"A person who betrays his master for glory is worthy of saying this? Disgusting!"
"This…"
Those people's expressions all changed, and the few people who were called out by Li Qiu just now, their expressions changed even more, breaking into a run.
However…
How could he escape?
Zhanpeng attacked. In three punches and two kicks, he had already taken down these people.
The remaining people were shocked, but they didn't make a move. Their expressions changed in shock…
Li Qiu looked at them coldly. Only when he glanced at two of the youths did he reveal a hint of gentleness.
Why did he kill so decisively?
With the power of Profound Insight, one could see through their loyalty with a single glance!
The loyalty of the few people he pointed out just now was 0!
0, what did it mean?
He had long betrayed them and was simply a spy sent by the enemy. How could such a person be worthy of saying that he had worked hard to find him and assist him, that he had fought his way out and escaped?
What a joke!
It was likely that during the incident at Black Tortoise Sect, these people had killed many of their companions and betrayed their masters for glory before they had a chance to survive!
"Don't panic…"
Sweeping his gaze across the few of them, Li Qiu slowly closed his eyes. Thinking of his foster father who had passed away, he could not help but sigh.
"Those people have long been Li Er's lackeys!”
"You must have come here to sneak into my hands and work with Li Er from the inside…"
"Unfortunately, they can't escape this king's eyes!”
At this point, Li Qiu's interest suddenly waned.
" Stay here. Let these two youths enter the School of Philosophers. If they are talented, we will nurture them. If they are not talented, they will become minor officials when they come out…"
"As for the others…"
"Start from the bottom!"
"If you're unwilling to leave, if you dare to say another word, kill without mercy!”
Seeing an old friend being resolved like this, Li Qiu's mood was naturally not any better.
The reason why he valued those two youths so much was because their loyalty was as high as 90!
With this number, it was impossible for him to be a traitor. Moreover, he was an existence that was truly loyal to him.
It was rare to have Li Jiancheng's old subordinates, so he naturally had to give them a chance to rise.
As for the others, although they did not betray him, their loyalty was at most around 50 to 60. They were the kind of people who were fence-sitters and would run to wherever there were benefits…
Of course, such a person could not be given an important task.
As for wanting to take advantage of their relationship back then?
Impossible!
Soon, they were taken away.
Seeing that Li Qiu was not in high spirits, Jia Xu was also prepared to leave. But at this moment, someone came to ask for an audience…
"Your Highness, there's someone here to see you. He says he's…the Mo family's giant.”
A Mo family giant?
Li Qiu's eyes lit up and he immediately said,"Invite him in!"”
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in black with a distinct aura strode in. He cupped his hands towards Li Qiu and bowed."I am a giant of the Mo family.”
He was neither servile nor overbearing, but he gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Respectful but not humble, confident but not arrogant.
"No need to be so polite. This king has been longing for the name of a giant for a long time.”
Li Qiu looked at the person in front of him, but his heart was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Who was the Mo family's giant? That was the current leader of the Mo Family!
Although the First Emperor had burned the books and buried the Confucians, causing the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to gradually fall, the Mohist School still had unfathomable strength!
Although this strength was not his combat strength, if he could get the help of the Mo family, he would definitely be like a tiger with wings!
And now, the giant had appeared in front of him. Didn't that mean…
"Giant, how dare you."
Li Qiu dismissed him, but he did not straighten his back. Instead, he bowed and said,"I want to lead the Mohist disciples to serve the Tang Emperor.”
"The Mo Family is extraordinary, but if you want to join me, you have to answer three questions.”
Li Qiu looked at them indifferently. Although he was willing to accept the Mo Family's allegiance, the other party would still be happy to see the Mo Family's power.
Then, why did the Mo Family choose him, a relatively weak force?
Moreover, with Profound Insight, he could see that the Giant's loyalty wasn't high. It could be said that it was wavering.
