Raindrops fell on the banana leaves by the window.
A 15 or 16-year-old teenager was sitting at the table, quietly reading a book.
He was handsome and elegant, with a tall and slender figure, but there was a heroic spirit between his brows.
In the small hall beside, a few maids were playing the zither.
One of the fingers froze, and a small noise appeared.
Before the others could react, the young man frowned slightly and turned to look at the maid.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. A man in his forties walked out with a Daoist.
"Almsgiver Zhou, as the saying goes,'If you don't take what the heavens give you, you'll be blamed.' Please think twice.”The Daoist bowed and smiled calmly.
"Sigh, allow me to think about it, Perfected One." The man's heart was in a mess.
Suddenly, he was startled. He looked at the young man who put down his book and walked over. He asked in surprise,"Gongjin, you…"
"Father, I have something I don't understand. I would like to ask Daoist Shanjing.”
The Taoist named Shanjing smiled and nodded.""Please speak, Young Master."
"I heard that Daoist Shanjing once traveled thousands of miles to learn and worshipped many famous teachers. May I ask how to deal with those who spread heresy to confuse the public and disturb the hearts of the people?”The youth said loudly.
"Duke of Zhou Jin, you…" Daoist Shanjing was stunned.
"You are deceiving my father's honesty. Don't you know that I, Duke Jin of Zhou, have a sword?”The young Zhou Yu's eyes widened as he pulled out his Autumn Water Sword and stabbed straight into the back of the frightened Taoist Shanjing.
The Daoist screamed and fell to the ground, dead.
Instantly, the hall fell silent, followed by a series of panicked cries.
Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, was so frightened that he took a few steps back. His face was pale as he shouted,"What are you doing? Gong Jin, you…what are you doing?”
Zhou Yu pulled out his sword and wiped the blood off with his sleeve. He turned around and said,""Don't panic. I've wanted to kill this demon for a long time! Lord, I have repeatedly advised you that this Demonic Priest is not a good person, but you didn't listen. This time, I can only do this. Please forgive me, father.”
"You…sigh!" Zhou Yi stomped his foot. He had always trusted Daoist Shanjing, but this was his son after all. He was instantly at a loss and sighed.
"Milord, don't be afraid. A mere villain, what harm is there in killing him? If you listen to this demon's nonsense and gather a crowd to become enemies with Governor Xiao Lu, then it will be a great disaster.”Zhou Yu said calmly.
"How do you know?" Zhou Yi was shocked. He was talking to Shanjing in the secret room.
"I'm just observing the situation.”Zhou Yu advised his father calmly," Everyone in Lujiang knows about the achievements of Governor Xiao Lu. Yangquan gathered more than 100,000 people, is it false? How could a few clowns go against the will of the people and the return of the Great Dao?”
"You…what you said makes sense. How can I be the prefect? They were just puppets controlled by someone.”Zhou Yi shook his head and sighed." What should we do now?”
Zhou Yu calmly sheathed his sword and cupped his hands.""Those who plot and cause trouble must have ulterior motives and are uneasy. Please lead your servants to the city to post all kinds of official documents, shout that the prefect of Lu will come and arrest the rebels. The rebels will certainly panic and escape.”
" Hmm…" Zhou Yi knew that his son was extremely intelligent. He nodded and asked curiously,""What about you?"
"Me?" Zhou Yu smiled." Governor Lu has done a great favor to my Lujiang. I want to give him a gift."”
That night, Zhou Yi led hundreds of servants to shout and shout, and the city was filled with wind and rain. Li Shu and the others were scared out of their wits when they heard this. During the day, when they gathered together, they could still say harsh words to each other to boost their courage. Now that they were alone, they panicked. Some fled across the city, while others hid in their homes and trembled.
Only Zheng Xu had more than 200 personal guards. He also knew that Lu Peng had led the army here, so he quickly led his personal guards out from the east gate and went to Chaohu to join his younger brother Zheng Bao.
They walked all the way until daybreak. Everyone was tired and they finally arrived at Lake Chaohu.
Zheng Xu took a deep breath and was about to sit down by the lake to rest when he suddenly saw a small boat moored by the shore. "Boatman, come over here!" he shouted. Send me to Lake Island!"
When the small boat rowed over, it was just a small boat that could only accommodate a few people. Zheng Xu led the two of them onto the boat and greeted the rest,""When I see my brother, I'll come back to pick you up.”
The small boat rowed twice and suddenly stopped. Zheng Xu was about to scold when the boatman took off his bamboo hat. It was actually a youth. Without any explanation, he pulled out his sword and stabbed the two guards to death. Then, he pointed at Zheng Xu and sneered,"Zheng Xu, if you want to cause trouble, how dare you plot against my father?”
"You are…Duke of Zhou Jin?" Zheng Xu could not help but be stunned. Although everyone in the county knew that Zhou Yi's son was extremely intelligent, why would he be waiting for him here?
"Why are you here?" he asked in shock.”
"You two brothers are both ambitious people. If the prefect of Little Lu takes over this county, you will be the leader of the resistance. Once things fail, you will naturally go to your brother.”Zhou Yu let out a long laugh. While Zheng Xu was still in shock, he raised his sword and stabbed him to death. He beheaded him and threw the three corpses into the lake.
Then, he calmly rowed the small boat and leisurely left under the stunned gazes of the two hundred bodyguards on the shore.
