The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1280 If I give you face, you'll call me Big Brother; if I don't, I'll send you to your grave!
The capital city, the Marquis of Zhongwu's residence.
Back home, Zhang Cheng was humming a little tune as he chatted with his mother, Jia Liushi, about Qin Keqing.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lin Daiyu stepped forward and asked, "Brother, are you getting married?"

"Yeah, I'll find you a sister-in-law, so she can bicker with you all the time, how about that!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu with a broad smile, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Ever since Lin Duidui entered the manor, she has been exchanging sarcastic remarks with Zhang Cheng every day.

But who is Zhang Cheng? He's known for his sharp tongue, even Lin Daiyu couldn't withstand it.

If it weren't for the fact that my body became healthier after practicing the Divine Illumination Scripture, I probably would have been spitting blood by Zhang Cheng long ago!
After giving Zhang Cheng a disapproving look, Lin Daiyu ran to Jia Liu's arms and cried, "Mother, my brother is being mean to me again, boohoo!"

"Jue-ge'er, you are the elder brother, why can't you give in to your younger sister? You bully her all the time, are you trying to make your mother die of anger?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Liushi couldn't help but become serious.
"Mother, it's me!"

Jia Liu was embarrassed, and Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say.

Because if Lin Daiyu couldn't win an argument, she would run straight to Jia Liushi's arms and start crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself.
But Lady Jia Liu just happens to fall for this and enjoys the life of having a daughter, which makes Zhang Cheng uncomfortable!

"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't you listen to your mother anymore? Apologize to your sister!"

Looking intently at Zhang Cheng, Jia Liushi couldn't help but become serious.
"Little sister, your brother was wrong. I will definitely find you a sister-in-law who will love you in the future!"

Staring at Lin Daiyu, Zhang Cheng's fingers clenched so tightly they cracked.
Looking at Zhang Cheng with a smile, Lin Daiyu, who was almost in tears, immediately said with a smile, "Sister, forgive your brother!"

"Thank you so much, little sister!"

Staring at Lin Daiyu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"No need to be so polite, elder brother!"

With her tongue sticking out, Lin Daiyu blinked as if to say, "Hit me! Come and hit me, you idiot!"
Faced with Lin Daiyu's provocation, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and decided to put up with her for now and increase the intensity of his workout the next morning!

Lin Daiyu's body is still too thin. She promised to become a first-class man, how can she not have arms that can run like horses?

Lu Zhishen uprooted the willow tree, and Lin Daiyu uprooted Lu Zhishen—perfect!

Seeing Zhang Cheng's cunning eyes gleaming, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but shrink into Jia Liu's arms, because she was quite certain that her brother was plotting something bad to trick her again!

"Uncle, something terrible has happened, Uncle!"

Jia Wei rushed in from outside, looked at Zhang Cheng, and immediately shouted.
"What's wrong, Brother Wei? I told you to go and invite Lord Qin, why did you come back by yourself!"

Looking at Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng immediately became puzzled.
"Uncle, Jia Zhen has intercepted the deal. After meeting Aunt, he invited Lord Qin to the mansion ahead of time!"

As Jia Wei explained to Zhang Cheng, he turned around and said, "Quickly, everyone in the manor who can move, grab your weapons! We're going to attack Ningguo Mansion today!"

As Jia Wei finished speaking, Jia Liushi exclaimed in shock, "What? How could Jia Zhen be so shameless! To ruin my Juege's marriage!"

Although she didn't know what Qin Keqing looked like, Jia Liu Shi was known for her approval of her son.

Since her son likes it, Lady Jia Liu certainly won't refuse.

Now that Jia Zhen is doing this, isn't he ruining his son's marriage? He deserves to die!

"Damn it, grab your weapons, I'm going to beat that old man to death!"

Hearing Jia Wei say that, Zhang Cheng was also filled with rage.

She originally thought Jia Zhen was being sensible, but she never expected that the old man was holding back something big for him!
If Jia Zhen were to get engaged, what would he do next? He would have no choice but to exterminate the entire Ningguo Mansion!

After all, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers, and once the marriage contract is signed, it cannot be changed casually unless one party breaches the contract, but that would damage their reputation, and who would want that!
Jia Zhen would definitely not let Qin Keqing go, so Zhang Cheng had no choice but to exterminate her entire family!
Because once there's no one left, there's naturally no marriage contract!

Jia Zhen: We're all brothers, why are you making such a fuss? Zhang Cheng: I'll call you elder brother out of respect, otherwise I'll send you to your grave!

Ding Xiu: Believe me, my master is surprisingly skilled at wiping out entire families!

"Let's go! Let's go together!"

Giving orders, a large group of people left the Marquis of Zhongwu's residence.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu immediately pleaded, "Mother, I want to go too!"

"Have your brother take some men to protect you, and whatever you do, make sure you don't get hurt!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu, Jia Liu Shi smiled, because she believed that with Jue Ge'er around, her younger sister would definitely not get hurt.
As for showing their faces in public, Jia Liu didn't care. After all, their Zhongwu Earl's Mansion was a family of military merit, and how could their children not have some spirit?
Inside the Dragon Head Palace, two emperors were playing chess.
Sipping his tea leisurely, the Emperor Emeritus spoke up: "Thanks to my strategies, Liaodong and Goryeo are now completely pacified, Your Majesty!"

"Father is right, and I admire you greatly!"

With a smile on his face, Emperor Hongde did not argue with him at all, because he was the current emperor. Even if Liaodong was pacified and the Japanese were defeated, it was his achievement and no one could question it!

The fame and honor that Father Emperor desired, both before and after his death, will ultimately belong to him!

"The Western Regions are unstable, and I think we still lack a strong general to guard them. The Rus' people have repeatedly occupied our territory, which is a disaster!"

The retired emperor raised his hand and put the chess piece down, then looked at the Hongde emperor.

"Father is right, but the court is currently empty and the debts have not yet been recovered. Even if I wanted to earn a good reputation for you, it would be difficult!"

When Emperor Hongde addressed the retired emperor, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Look at you, always in such a hurry. Couldn't you have waited until I left to do these things?"

Looking at the Hongde Emperor before him, the retired emperor knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't want to stand by and watch his old ministers have their homes ransacked and their families wiped out.

But after he left, who cared about the raging flood!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, something terrible has happened! The Marquis of Zhongwu has led his troops to attack Ningguo Prefecture!"

As they rushed in from outside, Xia Shouzhong and Dai Quan both shouted.

"Bah!"

The chess piece fell from his hand to the ground, and the retired emperor turned his head and said, "What did you say?"

"The Marquis of Zhongwu led his troops to attack Ningguo Prefecture, and they've probably already breached the gates!"

Addressing the retired emperor, Dai Quan quickly began to explain.

Upon hearing this, the retired emperor stood up and exclaimed, "Has Jia Jue gone mad? How could he lead troops to attack his own father!"

With his face flushed and head bowed, Emperor Hongde wanted to laugh but dared not utter a sound; he was practically bursting with internal rage.

They were just talking about this when, unexpectedly, Jia Jue became even more ruthless, leading his troops to attack his own people!
"It is said that it was because of the daughter of Qin Ye, the official in charge of construction. Jia Zhen had just met her in the morning, and in the afternoon he invited Qin Ye to his residence, seemingly intending to intercept the Marquis of Zhongwu."

Explaining to the retired emperor, Dai Quan looked utterly embarrassed.
"Has that damned Jia Zhen gone mad? At his age, he dares to try and steal Jue'er's bride! Quick, send someone to stop him! We mustn't let him get beaten to death, or things will get really messy!"

When speaking to Dai Quan, even the retired emperor thought Jia Zhen deserved to die. Why did he have to steal a woman from his own brother? Didn't he know that Jia Jue was a firecracker? He would explode even if you didn't light him, and now he was actively trying to light it. Didn't he want you to live?

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away!"

Dai Quan ran out as fast as he could, his face covered in sweat. He hoped that Jia Zhen wouldn't be beaten to death!

Seeing how angry the Emperor Emeritus was, if Emperor Hongde could be there in person, he would definitely give Jia Zhen a thumbs up. Jia Zhen was truly arrogant; he didn't mess with any of the officials, but he had to mess with the most capable fighter and the worst-tempered one. Did he think that just because he shared the same surname as Jia, he wouldn't die?
