Oh heavens, oh earth.
Why was it so difficult for this bro to seek death?
At the critical moment, someone would always backstab me. What was going on?
Xiao Cai, oh Xiao Cai, look at your thick eyebrows and big eyes. You actually want to save my life!
Is there anyone more vicious than you?
Ye Ning wanted to cry.
Cai Xianggao certainly wouldn't have guessed that Ye Ning had the urge to strangle him to death.
Ye Ning's series of " wonderful " expressions were automatically interpreted by him as being touched.
Cai Xianggao's eyes were wet. Looking at the rioting scholars, he made a fist gesture at Ye Ning.
"Brother Ye, you're not fighting alone!”
Your way is not lonely!
Ye Ning: I only want to be alone!
"Enough!"
Just as the commotion outside was getting out of hand.
A cold and dignified shout came from the marquis's manor.
A middle-aged man in a python robe walked out.
This person was Marquis Weiwu.
Following him out were dozens of even more elite servants.
These people were all experts he had gathered from the army, and each of them was a killing machine.
They held the big yellow crossbows in their hands, aimed at the front, and immediately activated the mechanism.
Rustle!
The crossbow bolts shot over.
However, it was not aimed at the person, but at the scholar.
The arrows pierced deep into the ground, creating a dense isolation zone.
The scholars 'charging footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
They felt the threat of death.
"Take another step forward and kill!"
Marquis Weiwu said coldly.
He dared to give orders that the butler did not dare to.
This volley of shots did not kill anyone, and it was already considered as him doing charity.
It was only because they were in a good mood today that they would have lost at least a hundred people if they had been slightly weaker.
It was still the same sentence. If he was killed by Marquis Weiwu, his death would be in vain.
When the emperor killed a scholar, he had to consider the consequences.
However, he did not need to do so. He did not need to kill or bury them.
"If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?"
The passion of the scholars did not cool down. Some felt fear and wanted to leave, while others were angered.
"Then you can go forward!"
Marquis Weiwu sneered.
He didn't even look.
Behind him, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow again.
Obviously, if the scholars did not know how to appreciate favors, then what they were about to face was a one-sided massacre.
"I appreciate everyone's good intentions.”
Ye Ning stood up at this moment.
"But I came today to enforce the law. This is official business.”
"Since this is official business, it has nothing to do with you.”
"Go back and study hard. The future is yours.”
Ye Ning persuaded them.
He was sincere.
After all, he was the one who wanted to die. He did not want to implicate innocent people.
"But Milord, he will kill you.”
Someone shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Some people die but live forever. Some people live but are already dead.”
Ye Ning smiled calmly.
Then, his smile froze.
He felt his body heating up.
How did this damn Righteousness Qi increase again?
Was it poisonous?
Or are you blind?
Can't you tell that this bro is pretending?
Why was the Righteousness Qi rising?
Didn't they say that this thing was very difficult to cultivate?
Ye Ning was full of questions.
He suspected that he was being targeted.
Fortunately, no matter how much Righteousness Qi rose, it could not cause a huge wave.
The path of Confucianism had been blocked. As long as the seal of the Sacred Institute was not removed, his strength would remain at this level.
No matter how much Righteousness Qi he accumulated, it was useless.
Ye Ning could only console himself.
However, the others were immersed in the deep meaning of his words.
"Some people are alive, but they are already dead!”
"Some people die but live forever!”
This sentence was not difficult to understand.
Even the uneducated commoners could feel the spirit in his words.
"Well said!"
"Even if you die, you won't be ashamed of the heroes of the world.”
"If Lord Ye dies here today, then he will become a sage in the books. As long as the inheritance continues, his name will be immortal!”
Everyone was moved.
Ye Ning's fearless spirit was like a torch in this dark era.
Although it was weak, it was always there.
Every time he looked at it, his heart would always feel a little warmer.
"I understand."
Two streams of tears fell from Wei Wentong's red eyes.
He thought of what Ye Ning had said to him earlier.
"You should thank me. If I hadn't come in time, you would have really been destroyed!”
Wei Wentong understood every word Ye Ning said.
Only this sentence made him seem to understand.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized something.
" If I had really slashed down with that blade, it wouldn't have been as simple as losing my life. It would have cut off my conscience…"
Death was nothing.
Like Ye Ning, even if he died, his bright image would always stand in people's hearts.
But what if his heart died?
If that blade really slashed down, there was really no turning back.
From then on, he was truly a walking corpse.
Some people were alive, but they were already dead…
Wei Wentong smiled bitterly. He felt lucky and sad.
Since when did I degenerate into this state?
If not for Lord Ye, I would have committed an unforgivable mistake.
"Some people die but live forever…Well said, but Minister Ye, what I need is a living you. There are already enough sages who have died. The only living hero is you!”
Ji Mingyue's defenses were broken once again.
It was true that she was a woman, but she had always felt that she was not inferior to any man.
She wasn't indecisive, nor did she have the problem of being emotional.
She rarely made judgments based on her emotions.
Only Ye Ning was an exception!
But could she be blamed?
This was all because Ye Ning was too outstanding!
No matter how big the matter was, it was no bigger than life and death.
The heroic spirit that Ye Ning displayed every time he faced death was the most precious and touching thing in the world.
How could Ji Mingyue not be affected?
She didn't want a dead Ye Ning. What she needed was a comrade who could walk with her until the end.
"Pass down the decree to have Ye Ning return home and forbid him from investigating this case again!”
Ji Mingyue immediately issued an imperial edict.
Liu Jin held the imperial edict and strode out of the palace.
She decided to use the imperial power to stop Ye Ning and end this storm.
Backstab on the road.
Ye Ning knew nothing.
After persuading the scholar, he placed his hands behind his back and looked straight at Marquis Weiwu.
Marquis Weiwu had an extremely bad reputation. From all angles, he was definitely a great villain.
However, it was impossible to tell whether he was evil or not just by looking at his appearance.
From the outside, Marquis Weiwu looked dignified. Although he was already in his fifties, his back was already straight and his body emitted a valiant aura.
He himself was a powerful martial artist.
Marquis Weiwu and Ye Ning looked at each other. A moment later, he nodded and said.
"One should take responsibility for one's actions. Not bad, Lord Ye is indeed a character!”
He admired Ye Ning a little.
This kind of person who was unafraid of death and insisted on justice might seem a little stupid, but he had to admire him.
Marquis Weiwu had the same thought.
However, Ye Ning found his idea ridiculous.
I've already killed my way to your doorstep. You didn't kill me directly, but you praised me?
This wasn't right!
Ye Ning, who had failed many times, keenly sensed that this was a dangerous signal.
he said with a frown.
"What? Lord Marquis doesn't plan to kill me?”
Marquis Weiwu shook his head and said.
"I really don't want to kill Lord Ye.”
Yay!
Cai Xianggao and Little Mute both smiled.
The scholars and commoners were relieved.
Even Ji Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief at this moment.
However, Ye Ning felt as if there were ten thousand horses galloping through his heart.
"Everyone says that Lord Marquis is a great evil man who has no regard for the law, indulges in gluttony, is deranged, and is despicable and shameless…" Ye Ning said more than a dozen curses in a row."If Lord Marquis doesn't kill me, wouldn't things be very different from the rumors?”
"Hahaha…"
After being scolded by Ye Ning, Weiwu Hou was not angry. Instead, he laughed loudly.
Ye Ning's mouth twitched.
No, is this person crazy?
Can't you tell that I'm scolding you?
"The rumors are true. I am that kind of person, but I really don't want to kill Lord Ye.”
Marquis Weiwu chuckled and said.
"Lord Ye, do you want to know the reason?"
Ye Ning nodded gloomily.
Of course he wanted to know.
You're a murderous maniac. Why are you showing mercy to me?
Which part of me made you merciful? I'll change, okay?
"Many years ago, I was just an ordinary noble. In the capital, I was not considered a person.”
"Until my daughter was born."
"Her talent is extraordinary. She was valued by the Jade Pavilion at first glance and was directly accepted as a disciple.”
Marquis Weiwu revealed a look of recollection.
He told his story.
In fact, he was not a talkative person, because he felt that none of the officials and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty interested him in talking.
They were just a bunch of mediocre villains!
Only Ye Ning gave him the thought of pouring out his heart.
Thus, Ye Ning and so many people heard the dark process of Marquis Weiwu.
"At that time, I was only happy, but I didn't have any other thoughts.”
"But on the night the news spread, I received thirteen priceless treasures!”
"Have you heard of Lord Ye? The pearl from the East Ocean Dragon Palace is priceless. Even His Majesty doesn't have it, but someone sent it to my house.”
Marquis Weiwu pointed at his own chest with a mocking look in his eyes.
"I, Marquis Weiwu, am only a small Marquis!”
"Why should I have such a treasure?”
"I knew what they meant by giving me treasures, so I didn't dare to accept them. After some internal struggle, I returned these treasures.”
"Does Lord Ye know what happened?”
The mockery in Marquis Weiwu's eyes grew stronger.
Ye Ning was silent.
Everyone fell silent.
"That night, that night!"
"They sent gifts over again. This time, it's better, more precious, and more than before!”
"Who can understand my feelings at that time?"
Marquis Weiwu's gaze swept across the crowd.
"Before that day, I thought that the general's fame would be obtained immediately, and that the achievements of the literati would be obtained by governing the world. But after that day, my thoughts changed. It turned out that those things that were beyond my reach, as long as I gave birth to a talented daughter, others would take the initiative to send them to my family!”
"It's not that I've changed, but the world has changed!”
"There are many things that I don't want, but others will send them to me in my name. There were many things that others would guess and do for me if I didn't do them.”
"Tell me, what can I do?"
Marquis Weiwu sighed.
As time passed, he finally realized that loyalty and achievements were all fake.
In this twisted era, as long as one could cling onto the thigh of an immortal sect, one could be considered a superior person.
If he hugged the thigh of the immortal sect, others would come and hug his thigh.
The small Mighty Marquis Manor did not need to be painstakingly managed to become a colossus!
Magical, right?
But this was reality!
After listening to the story, Ye Ning felt that it was very boring.
What did Marquis Weiwu want to say?
Did she want to say that she had her own difficulties in becoming like this?
Bullsh * t!
Ye Ning stared at him and said.
"Even so, Lord Marquis can still refuse. If you reject them once, they will send you a gift. But if you reject them a second time or a third time, they will know that you are not on the same side as them.”
"Lord Marquis has said so much just to say that you're not wrong. It's this misplaced world that forced you to go black.”
"However, I feel that there are always people in this world who are not moved by money, power, and status. It all depends on whether they can maintain their original intentions.”
Hearing this, Marquis Weiwu pondered for a moment and said.
"If someone had told me this before today, I wouldn't have believed it, but after seeing Lord Ye, I believe it!”
Ye Ning was speechless.
Weiwu Hou said.
"My ancestor's title of marquis was obtained through military merits, so I also like real heroes.”
"Unfortunately, the world is full of dirty people. Only Lord Ye has made me admire him. I don't want to kill people like you.”
"Moreover, the most important thing is that even if I don't kill you, Emergence School will kill you. Lord Ye should know this, right? You're already on the must-kill list of Feather School.”
Marquis Weiwu's thoughts were actually very simple.
Ye Ning had indeed made him admire him a little. He had awakened the last trace of heroic spirit that belonged to a soldier in the depths of his heart.
This was the first reason.
Secondly, Ye Ning was already a dead man.
Everyone knew that Emergence School would not let him off.
Marquis Weiwu didn't want to get angry with a dying person.
There was also the third.
Actually, the third was the most important.
Who was the person Ye Ning wanted to catch?
He was just the housekeeper of the Marquisdom!
At most, it was a dog raised by Weiwu Hou.
After throwing away this dog, he still had thousands of other dogs. He did not feel any heartache at all.
If it was his son, he would not be so easy to talk to.
"Li San, tell me, what crazy thing did you do to actually provoke Lord Ye to mobilize a large number of people to capture you!”
Marquis Weiwu pointed at the butler and said indifferently.
He actually didn't care what the butler did, just like he didn't care about the butler's life or death.
It was just a dog.
If Ye Ning wanted it, he could give it to him.
Ye Ning felt dizzy.
This was also f * cking okay…
No, I've already done this, and you actually don't have the heart to kill anymore?
Ye Ning couldn't accept it.
The one who couldn't accept it the most was Li San.
He, who had been so smug just a moment ago, was actually abandoned by his master in an instant.
His face suddenly turned pale.
His legs went soft and he knelt down.
"Lord Marquis, I, I don't know either!”
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't know.
It was because he had done too many bad things that he could not remember for a while.
Cai Xianggao pulled the charcoal seller forward and asked.
"Do you know him?"
Li San looked up and said decisively.
"I don't know him."
Cai Xianggao frowned and shouted.
"You still dare to lie at a time like this?”
Marquis Weiwu's gaze turned cold.
Li San was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He kept kowtowing. At this moment, he was more pitiful than a dog.
"To be honest, I really don't know!”
This appearance was not fake.
The old man stepped forward and cried.
"You were the one who stole my charcoal that day, yet you said you didn't know!”
What was that?
Snatched the charcoal?
Marquis Weiwu frowned deeply.
Li San was also stunned. He carefully looked at the charcoal seller.
"Just, just for this?"
He remembered that it was snowing that day and the weather was cold. There was no charcoal at home, and he happened to see someone pulling a cart past.
Without a word, he snatched it away.
It was such an insignificant matter.
She had forgotten about it the moment she turned her head.
He felt extremely wronged as he looked at Ye Ning in a daze.
No, did you cause such a big commotion just because of this trivial matter?
I've done too many bad things, but you're only here for the most insignificant of them.
Li San felt really wronged.
If he lost his life because of this, it would be a huge loss.
"Just for a cart of coal?"
Marquis Weiwu's expression changed. His gaze suddenly became dangerous.
"Lord Ye, I need an explanation!”
