The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1321 My rules are the rules!
Full Moon Pavilion, luxurious rooms

Sun Shaozu looked up at Zhang Cheng with disbelief and astonishment in his eyes.

Weren't we having a great conversation just a second ago? Why did he try to kill me the next second?

"My lord, I don't understand what you mean!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a gloomy expression, Sun Shaozu immediately prepared to stand up.
Before he could get up, Jia Wei kicked him from behind, but it only made Sun Shaozu tilt slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Sun Shaozu, Jia Wei immediately put his hand on his waist.

Looking at Jia Wei's appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and say, "Brother Wei, you're feeling weak!"

"Uncle, it's me!"

Looking awkwardly at Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei didn't know what to say to explain.
"Humph!"

Rising to his feet like a brown bear, Sun Shaozu roared angrily, "Does Marquis Zhongwu really intend to kill me here? Do you think I, Sun Shaozu, am easy to bully?!"

"Pfft!"

Unable to suppress a laugh, Zhang Cheng squinted at Sun Shaozu and said, "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't hesitate to do it here, even in front of His Majesty!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Sun Shaozu immediately turned and rushed towards the door, because he realized that Zhang Cheng really intended to kill him!
Before Sun Shaozu could break down the door, a large hand grabbed his neck and slammed him to the ground.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent tremors, Sun Shaozu felt as if his entire body was about to shatter.
"We haven't finished dealing with our business yet! Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

Zhang Cheng pinned Sun Shaozu to the ground, grabbed his hair, and lifted his head, saying, "You don't actually think that I can kill you and still escape, do you? You really think you can get away with this!"

Daishan: That year I was in Liaodong, with my hands in my pockets, and I was beaten so badly that I didn't dare to fight back!

"Lord Zhongwu, spare me! Lord Zhongwu, spare me! I was blinded by greed and that's why I provoked you. Please forgive me!"

After being pinned to the ground by Zhang Cheng, Sun Shaozu finally realized that the Emperor Emeritus was not joking when he called Jia Jue "Invincible Jia of Liaodong"—he really could crush him!
"We're family! I'm just asking you to spare my life, why won't you give it to me? Ah! Look at me, why won't you give it to me!"

Looking at Sun Shaozu with icy eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but rebuke him.
Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Sun Shaozu really wanted to ask, "Are you crazy? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? Are you trying to take my life?"

Seeing Zhang Cheng's ruthless expression, Sun Shaozu roared, "Jia Jue, I am the commander of the Datong Thousand Household of the Imperial Court! If you kill me, how will you explain it to the Imperial Court! Where do you put the rules of the Imperial Court!"

"My rules are my rules. You little punk, who gave you the audacity to provoke the Jia family?"

With a backhand punch, Zhang Cheng slammed Sun Shaozu across the face, leaving him covered in blood. He said, "The Rongguo Mansion may be finished, but don't forget, my Ningguo Mansion is still here! I, Jia Jue, am not someone to be trifled with!"

Seeing Sun Shaozu's appearance, Zhang Cheng pulled out the jade belt from his waist and wrapped it around Sun Shaozu's neck, tightening his grip with both hands.
"Uh"

Grasping the jade belt frantically, Sun Shaozu's entire face contorted in a ferocious expression.

However, as Zhang Cheng continued to exert force, Sun Shaozu's neck finally tilted to the side, and he collapsed to the ground.
Standing up, Zhang Cheng re-wrapped his jade belt around his waist and said, "Trash, what do you think is discussed in the imperial court? It's all about power and background. I have the Liaodong military town behind me. You dare to mess with me!"

Looking at Sun Shaozu with disdain, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Drag him to the garden and bury him!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Jia Wei immediately called Krieg in from outside.
Just after Sun Shaozu was dragged out, Zhang Cheng glanced at Jia Wei and said, "Brother Wei, your health isn't good. You just got married, how can you be so weak!"

"Uncle, it's me!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei was about to say something, but was stopped by a raised hand.
"I still have two jars of tiger bone wine in my house, I'll bring them to you later!"

After glancing at Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng began to speak.
"Thank you, Uncle!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with excitement, Jia Wei's face immediately lit up with a happy smile. At the Ningguo Mansion, during a family banquet...
Looking at the delicious dishes being served, Lin Daiyu asked Zhang Cheng curiously, "Brother, is Second Sister really not going to get married?"

"No need, because Sun Shaozu is gone, who would she marry!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu with a broad smile, Zhang Cheng smiled back.
"Sun Shaozu is gone?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a puzzled expression, Lin Daiyu's face was full of astonishment.
Before Lin Daiyu could react, Jia Wei, who had run over from a distance, whispered something in Zhang Cheng's ear.
"Brother Wei, what are you doing? Why aren't you eating!"

Looking at Jia Wei, Jia Liushi immediately spoke up.
"Grandma, Uncle and I have something to do, so we won't eat yet!"

Addressing Jia Liu and her mother Jia Wu, Jia Wei smiled and said, "Auntie, eat more!"

Upon hearing Jia Wei's words, Lin Daiyu immediately adopted a mature demeanor and said, "I understand, Brother Wei!"

"Mother, brother and sister-in-law, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now!"

After getting up, Zhang Cheng glanced at Qin Keqing, told her to take good care of the family, and then left with a smile on his face.

Standing in front of the mansion gate, Zhang Cheng looked at the person not far away and said, "Jiao Da!"

"Here we come, sir!"

At one table, Jiao Da was tearing apart a roast duck and drinking wine, with various delicacies from the main table laid out on top.

"Is there something you need, sir?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jiao Da couldn't help but become curious.

"I'll be leaving Beijing in the next few days, so please keep a close eye on the house, understand?"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Jiao Da, he couldn't help but become serious.
Upon hearing the implication in Zhang Cheng's words, Jiao Da immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, Jiao Da understands what to do!"

"If anyone in the manor disobeys, don't worry about what happens next, just kill them!"

Zhang Cheng looked at Jiao Da with a serious expression.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Jiao Da understood that there might be more trouble in the capital recently!
After leaving Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Cheng rode his horse outwards.
Before long, after arriving at a grove of trees, Zhang Cheng saw the person tied to a tree.
Stepping forward, Zhang Cheng took the letter from Krieg, his eyes filled with a gloomy expression.
The message on it instructed the Datong border troops to enter Beijing.
With a gloomy glint in his eyes, Zhang Cheng burned the letter and then said to those around him, "Kill them all!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

A terrified scream erupted. Jia Lian, his eyes blindfolded, looked utterly terrified and immediately became frightened.
Zhang Cheng stepped forward and ripped off the other person's blindfold, then squatted down with an icy expression and said, "Do you still recognize me?"

"Brother Jue, it's you? Wasn't I kidnapped by thieves?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Jia Lian was taken aback.
But the next second, Jia Lian froze when he saw the group of armored Kriegs surrounding Zhang Cheng.

Because the kidnappers who tied him up seemed to be Zhang Cheng's men!
"Snapped!"

Zhang Cheng slapped Jia Lian across the face and said fiercely, "Do you even know what you're doing? If you send this letter out, the entire Rongguo Mansion will die!"

"Ah! How is this possible, Father?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Jia Lian was completely stunned upon hearing those words.
"From this moment on, you are to consider this a dispatch. Go back to the capital and keep an eye on Jia She. If anything seems amiss with him, immediately inform Jiao Da, understand?"

Staring at Jia Lian, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but reprimand him.
