Fu Mansion, Guangde City Magistrate Qiao Ziyun's mansion.
At night, the lights flickered.
" Sir, I'm afraid we're..." Zhao Deyang, his trusted subordinate, was also a little afraid.
"What are you afraid of? Is there any evidence to prove that they are real?”
Qiao Ziyun, a scholar in the 15th year of Chenghua, was the cousin of the current head of the Qiao family, one of the eight great families of the Ming Dynasty.
Around 50 years old, peak Xiantian Realm, Fu Mansion's Prefect, Fourth Rank Official of the Imperial Court.
In the Fu Residence, he was the sky and could control the 10,000 Fu Residence garrison troops.
If there is an emergency, such as a large-scale attack by the Qing Dynasty or a rebellion, you can control 40,000 soldiers at the border of Fu Mansion.
Including the garrison army of 10,000, there was a total of 50,000 troops. Even if a martial grandmaster came, they might not be able to curry favor.
"I've already found out that Duke Xiaoyao went to the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency.”
"A person who relies on flattery and flattery, and he's still the top scorer? Marquis? He won't live long."
"Ah?"
"Do you know what he wrote about the court examination?”
"What?"
"Collect business taxes, weaken Buddhism, open the sea ban, train new troops, and change the land!”
"This is simply wishful thinking."
"That's right. He has offended all the aristocratic families and sects in the world. This time, he even established the Divine Martial Arts Institute and the armory. He wants to control all the martial artists in the world.”
"It seems that his death is not far away.”
"So, it's fine to offend him this time. It's best if he makes a big fuss and I lead my troops to destroy him.”
"Sir is wise!" Zhao Deyang, his confidant, immediately flattered him.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Oh, really?"
"Who is it?"
Qiao Ziyun panicked. Someone had actually come to his study room without anyone noticing.
At the very least, he was a grandmaster.
A man walked in. He was elegant and handsome, like a celestial descending to the earth.
"Zhou Xian!" He introduced himself.
"Men, there's an assassin! Protect Milord!”
Zhao Deyang shouted, but no one responded.
"Don't waste your energy. I'll let Shangguan Haitang handle him.”
"May I know what instructions Marquis Zhou has for gracing us with your presence?”
Qiao Ziyun's pupils shrank, and he immediately regained his calm.
As expected of someone who had seen the world.
"Kill you!"
"You dare? I'm an official of the imperial court!"
Qiao Ziyun roared loudly. He directly grabbed his trusted aide, Zhao Deyang, and pushed him towards Zhou Xian.
Then, he turned around and fled.
"My lord!" Zhao Deyang screamed miserably, his eyes full of despair.
"I knew it!"
Zhou Xian performed a Divine Hundred Steps.
Moving, moving, he turned his head and pulled out.
No, it should be a finger that turned its head back, and sword qi swept across.
Using his fingers as a sword,
"You!"
Qiao Ziyun's eyes flashed with unwillingness before he collapsed.
There was a small wound between his eyebrows, but it was very deep, almost running through his entire head.
Blood was dripping from his wounds, and he was no longer breathing.
"My lord!"
Zhao Deyang shouted, shivering with the joy of surviving a disaster.
"What's that smell?"
Zhou Xian suddenly smelled a foul smell. Turning his head around, he saw Zhao Deyang sitting on the ground, paralyzed. His pants were already wet.
"Do you want to live?"
"Yes!" Zhao Deyang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice,
"Then Qiao Ziyun…"
"Lord Qiao, that's not right. Traitor Qiao colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and attempted to rebel. His crimes are unforgivable. It is the great fortune of the Ming Dynasty that he was beheaded on the spot.
I'm sworn enemies with this thief, deceived by him before,
Fortunately, the adults saw through everything and exposed Qiao Ni's true colors for me.
Your Excellency is really the pillar of the country. No one can compare with you in terms of literary talent and military strategy.
Just like how a small person gives birth to parents, this small person has nothing to repay, only willing to serve the adults!”
"Sure, you're a talent!" Zhou Xian was very satisfied.
Zhao Deyang was indeed a scholar, but his martial arts were not good.
However, his bootlicking skills had already reached the acme of perfection.
This move took advantage of the opportunity, played along, acted according to the situation, and reversed black and white.
He had the ability to speak human language when he saw people and speak nonsense when he saw ghosts.
Even a martial grandmaster would have to sigh!
At the end of flattery, who is the peak? At the sight of this person, everything is empty!
"Clang!" A hidden weapon flew towards Zhao Deyang, clearly intending to kill him.
"Pa!" Zhou Xian waved his hand, and a stream of Sword Qi shot out of the hidden weapon.
"You what?"
"I wanted to ask you what you were doing! Can such a villain be kept?
It turned out that the person who had secretly attacked was Shangguan Haitang.
"Lord, save me!"
Zhao Deyang was so frightened that his limbs went limp. He crawled towards Zhou Xian with great perseverance.
"Get lost!"
Zhou Xian immediately pulled away from him.
Just when Zhao Deyang was already in despair, Zhou Xian's words ignited his hope.
"Everyone has the right to live. Life is precious, and we have no right to deprive others of their lives.
Moreover, he was a talent and spoke very nicely.”
Shangguan Haitang was speechless. You just killed a fourth-rank official of the imperial court without even blinking.
Now you're telling me to respect life?
"What about him?"
She pointed at Qiao Ziyun's corpse.
" A dog that blocks people. Kill it."
Zhou Xian said indifferently.
"You're really self-centered. You only allow the officials to set fire to the city, but you don't allow the commoners to light up the lamps.”
"Yes, I'm a double standard!"
"Double standard?"
"Double standards!"
"Good words. Your evaluation of yourself is very fair. It seems that you still have self-awareness.”
Shangguan Haitang rolled her eyes at him.
"I think, therefore I am. Who in this world doesn't regard themselves as the center?
If I die, what does the world have to do with me?
As long as I exist, heaven and earth will exist. As long as I exist, all living beings will exist!”
