Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 377 One man fights a city, good!
The people nearby didn't see its movements clearly before the kitchen knife chopped into the middle-aged man's neck. His bones rolled and his head rolled several meters away. Blood gushed out from the headless corpse, scaring the onlookers nearby to avoid it.

"Don't hesitate from now on. Anyone who wants to do something to me or kill me, even if you just suspect... kill them."

The word "kill" shocked the people of Kyoto who were just outraged and wanted to kill him to avenge the national humiliation. All of them changed color, and some even dared not show hatred.

This guy really dared to kill people in the street. He totally disregarded the laws of Qing country and had no mercy. He didn't care if you were a woman or a child. He would kill you without hesitation.

There were also a few people who looked dazed, because this foreign man in festive red had a big smile on his face when he entered the city gate. If it had not been a time of national mourning, this configuration would basically have been regarded as a juggler, and it would have been difficult to associate it with the cruel and ruthless side of the moment.

……

the other side.

Xingqing Palace, inside the imperial study.

Li Yunqian looked at Ye Zhong who was kneeling on one knee with his hands raised above his head. He took two steps in his shoes and suddenly turned around: "You want me to arrest him and put him in prison?"

"Yes."

The nephew of the Grand Master, who was wearing a lion-patterned battle armor, had sword-like eyebrows and a short and dense beard. He was capable and decisive, and had considerable military talent. He nodded and said, "This man wore red and colorful clothes during the national mourning period, and killed our soldiers in the street. He offended the majesty of heaven and treated Qing Kingdom and Your Majesty as nothing. If you don't give him a heavy sentence to serve as a warning to others, how will foreign countries treat Qing Kingdom in the future? Your Majesty is determined to attack Qi. If you can't handle this matter properly, I'm worried..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am worried that the army's morale is unstable and the soldiers are dissatisfied."

"Ye Chong, are you using the army's name to pressure me?"

Ye Zhong bent his other leg and knelt down on both knees: "I dare not, I just..."

"You just what? You just can't figure out why I gave such an order. You just can't figure out who he is. You just can't figure out why the people from the Overwatch Council didn't stop him outside the city."

Li Yunqian spoke very quickly, his knee-length sleeves fluttering, and he looked a little excited.

Ye Zhong didn't dare to speak any more and crawled on the ground in fear.

Pay attention to welcome a foreign man coming from the west with a white ape. This was the order received by both the military and the Supervisory Council.

According to normal logic, with the intelligence network of the military and the Supervisory Council, as long as this person appears within a hundred miles of Kyoto, his whereabouts will be discovered by spies. Unless he is a ninth-rank master and acts carefully, not staying in hotels or eating and resting in post stations along the way, he may be able to avoid the eyes and ears of spies. As a result, he failed this time. A foreign man who was unfamiliar with the place and carrying a conspicuous white ape, what's more exaggerated is that he was dressed in festive red during the national mourning period, but he was not discovered by the city guards until he approached the west gate.

As a result, before the gatekeeper on duty on the city wall could say anything, the white ape killed the two arrogant guards, and the incident escalated again.

The commander of the gates immediately reported the matter to the Privy Council. Ye Chong originally wanted to lead the troops to deal with it, but after considering the wording of Emperor Qing's edict, he thought again and again and decided to report the matter.

What surprised him was that His Majesty actually summoned him directly into the palace, which showed how much importance he attached to that person.

Ye Chong is a military general. The Qing military has always had a tough attitude towards surrounding forces, and he also believes that Chu Pingsheng's actions during the national mourning period are a provocation to Qing. From a personal perspective, he very much hopes that Emperor Qing will order the arrest and execution of the man as a warning to others. From an official perspective, the tougher he appears, and the more angry he is about the interests of the royal family and the interests of Qing, the less trouble he will have. Even if Emperor Qing is unhappy, he will at most reprimand him. On the contrary, if he shows his weak side as a military leader, he might be labeled as disloyal to the royal family and having two minds.

"This person... can be beaten, or he can be arrested and locked up for a few days... but..."

Li Yunqian stared at him for a while: "Do you understand?"

"I understand." Ye Zhong looked at the floor and answered in a long and respectful voice.

What His Majesty the Emperor meant was that the face of the Kingdom of Qing had to be saved, but the man could not be killed. Even if he was arrested, he had to appear strong on the outside but be timid on the inside. The strong appearance was to be shown to the people of Kyoto, but in reality the foreign man had to be well fed and served, and then released after a few days when the storm had died down.

"Go down."

"My minister retire."

Ye Zhong stood up slowly while maintaining a bowing posture. When he saw Emperor Qing waving the sleeves of his plain robe, he turned around and left.

You can knock. Your Majesty's words are enough.

Being treated to delicious food and drinks didn't mean he couldn't take revenge by other means, such as killing the white ape that was beating drums and gongs for the foreign men.

After Ye Chong left, Li Yunqian put his hands behind his back and looked towards the west with a gloomy face.

Before Bai Feng left, he said that his apprentice had a bad temper. Now it seems that he is more than just bad-tempered. He is determined to make big news as soon as he arrives.

Yes, in recent years, Nanqing has defeated Northern Qi, intimidated Nanzhao, pressured Dongyi, and frequently attacked Xihu. Master Bai Feng broke into the palace at night with a sword, killed the empress dowager, forced the emperor to submit, and vented the anger of Xihu. How could a disciple do nothing and really pretend to be a polite visiting scholar?

What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers, and what kind of father raises what kind of son.

Thinking of this, Li Yunqian looked towards the East Palace.

As for why Ye Chong was specially invited to the imperial study to chat... you will know after seeing the result.

The person who wanted to teach the other party a profound lesson was Ye Chong, Ye Liuyun's nephew, and his approach was to be gentle, even though the visitor had done something extremely disrespectful to the Queen Mother.

As for whether Ye Chong would obey orders, or whether he could handle the situation properly, that was not his problem.

Didn’t Bai Feng say that night that he would ask people outside the imperial city to temper his apprentice’s temper?

……

"You are a bold barbarian, shameless, rude and immoral. You wore red and colorful clothes and laughed and had fun during our country's mourning period. What you did was disrespectful to the heavens above and the earth below. You also bullied the people of Qing. This is a heinous crime. You should be punished and your heart should be killed."

A scholar with a pale face and thin body, wearing a patched blue shirt, blocked the road and spoke righteously, glaring and denouncing Chu Pingsheng's evil deeds.

Chu Pingsheng noticed a detail: the patch on the blue-shirted scholar's cuff was made of red cloth. Although he raised his finger to denounce his behavior, he was holding the cuff from the middle finger to the little finger to prevent the red cloth patch from being exposed.

Without waiting for his master to speak, Lanling Wang saddled up and rode away, clenching his hairy hands into fists and smashing them into the chest of the poor scholar.

At this moment, a "whoosh" sound was heard in the distance, and a long spear passed over the spectators' heads and shot directly into Lanling King's chest.

Roar!
The white ape roared, pounded the ground with his left hand, changed his move with his right hand, and punched out, hitting the tip of the gun.

Click!

The tip of the gun broke with a sound, and the gun body behind it was shattered into wooden chips, which fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and the spectators fled for their lives. The poor scholar's legs trembled, and his knees bent inward, but he still stood straight and maintained a standing posture.

At this time, there was a dense sound of horse hooves from the other side of the long road. The Privy Council's envoy Ye Zhong was galloping over with the cavalry of the garrison division. The spear that stabbed the white ape just now was thrown by him.

Emperor Qing asked him to spare the life of the foreigner, but did not tell him to let the white ape go easily.

Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Lanling Wang left in a rage and kicked the signboard of the fabric shop. The signboard exploded and turned into a ray of white light. He was not afraid of the galloping cavalry at all and slapped Ye Chong with his palm. It was the fifth move of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that Chu Pingsheng had taught him yesterday. It shocked people within a hundred miles and was also the most powerful move in this set of palm techniques.

A violent storm arose, and the sundries piled up in the surrounding shops rolled around. The jars of pickles at the door of Liuweiju were all broken into pieces, and the red, yellow, and brown pickles and the sauces and soups spilled all over the floor.

Chu Pingsheng nodded slightly, thinking that King Lanling was extremely talented when it came to learning martial arts characterized by ferocity and tyranny. Looking at the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, if he did not have the special effects of the [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body], at the same level of internal strength, the power would probably be 20% to 30% weaker.

However, there are also disadvantages. The stronger Lanling King's martial arts skills are, the more brutal and violent his temperament becomes. Compared with the first time he was seen in Jinxiu Valley, he is almost two extremes at this moment. This can be seen in the battle at Guangmingding in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, when he tore out Hu Fengying's head and spine.

But it doesn't matter. No matter how violent it is, it is still an enemy. Who would not want a ferocious and powerful Tibetan Mastiff? It would shrink behind its owner's butt and whimper when it sees Tai Ritian. It is better to kill it early and eat its dog meat.

Ye Chong was already terribly shocked when the spear was shattered by the white ape's punch. He had never expected that this beast could crush rocks and iron when it got angry. When he saw this majestic and powerful palm power, he felt a chill down his spine. Three words flashed through his mind - "Ninth Grade Upper".
