Durin's Diary

Chapter 459 Coming from afar

It was late at night, and Zhao Tiancheng glanced out the window.

The two yellow-skinned guys were still kneeling on the grass outside.

Du Lin forgave them. This was not because Du Lin was soft-hearted. He raised the ruler representing the law of nature high in his hand and dropped it gently... out of respect for Zhao Tiancheng!
This is too much of an honor. The seventeen-year-old Zhu Longzi, who can awaken the mountains and sing in the wilderness, is willing to despise himself just for two damn yellow-skinned people.

It's really embarrassing.

In the entire Chang Tang, there shouldn't be such a gossipy mortal who can still be alive. They actually dared to say that Zhulong was a dwarf demon with horns. When the old Zhulong in the Privy Council heard this, he beat them to death with a whip dipped in salt water, and no one dared to say a word against them.

"Master, we have been kneeling for half the night, you see..." An old man in the team stood up and carefully pleaded for the young man outside.

"Young Master Du Lin recognized my old face and hit them on the palms with a ruler. Do you think I should just let it go or should I save Young Master's face and give him a good pat?" Zhao Tiancheng sighed and said, "Keep kneeling. If they fall asleep, I'll whip them five times. No one can plead for mercy. If the old master of the Privy Council, Mr. Yan of the Tianshi Mansion, and Madam Hong Wan'er of the Zhulong Pavilion find out, they will all say that I, Zhao Tiancheng, am incompetent in managing my subordinates!"

"But here..."

"So many people from the Zheng and Lin families are watching here. If I, the Zhulong, don't set an example myself, it won't just be the Zhao family's fault, it will be the Zhulong Pavilion and the Tianshi Mansion's. Those two guys will definitely have no chance of survival." Having said that, Zhao Tiancheng looked at his old brother and said, "Don't forget, I have my elder brother above me. If he hears about this and how I humiliated a young master, he'll send a steward to demand the release of the person in front of me. How can I refuse?"

"You're right." The old man also sighed: "It's just that Miss Lan En..."

"She's also a Candle Dragon! By not killing those two idiots herself, she's already risking offending Du Lin to save face for me, our ancestor. Don't forget, she's also a horned dwarf demon! Don't bother trying to persuade me on this matter. The stricter I am with them today, the more lenient Du Lin will be, so those who speculate about others' misconceptions won't see it as restraint on my part, and I'll be able to save their lives!"

After saying that, Zhao Tiancheng turned and walked towards the stairs: "You can watch from here, but remember to be ruthless when the whip is handed down."

"Yes, sir, I will definitely not show mercy." Lao He nodded and answered seriously.

………………

Zheng Zhilin was on the balcony at this time. He looked at the two yellow-skinned people kneeling at the entrance of the garden and smiled.

As descendants of Huang Fengsheng and Hu Lishi, they followed Lord Zhao through thick and thin. Not to mention their contributions, they also worked hard. The Lord felt sorry for Miss Lan En and wanted to find her a stable husband to live with. He had a sharp eye and would say good things about whoever Lord Du Lin chose.

However, these two evil slaves were unable to figure out who the other party was and started to talk nonsense.

Maybe Jun Du Lin wanted to show kindness to everyone, or maybe he wanted to give face to Jun Zhao. He just lifted up such a wicked slave, but then put him down gently... You put him down with kindness, but now how can you expect Jun Zhao to let him go?

Today, the Carrie Lam and Lam families are on good terms. There are many commanders of merchant ships traveling north, south, east and west, and so many people from both families who hold official positions. They have all seen it.

You horned little demon, if you let the old master of the Privy Council, Mr. Yan of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and Madam Hong Wan'er of the Candle Dragon Pavilion know about this, you will be skinned alive and have your tendons torn out. Why?
The old master lived for six hundred years, and he had lived in Yumen Pass for five hundred years. Until the last decade or so, he was transferred back to the Privy Council to supervise all officials because of his hard work and outstanding achievements. Half of the people in the military were his disciples. His mother was Zhulong, and his father was a legendary dwarf demon.

Mr. Yan from the Tianshi Mansion lived for more than seven hundred years. He spent his whole life slaying demons and monsters in Chang Tang, and helping those in need when he saw injustice. Over the years, he helped the Chang Tang court to change eleven military governors and seventeen provincial governors. His father was Zhulong and his mother was a dwarf demon.

Hong Wan'er from Zhulong Pavilion is still young, but she is very good at judging military situations. She can independently command an army at such a young age. Her father is the last great-grandson of Xiao Lao'er.

In addition, the court was full of dwarf demons. You say, why did these two yellow-skinned men offend any other dwarf demon, but they had to offend the one with horns.

Moreover, according to intelligence, this horned one is already a legendary Candle Dragon Warlock who can awaken the mountains and sing in the wilderness. It is obvious that he is following the good path of the Natural Master, and he also has the extraordinary power of the Invisible One - such extraordinary power is unheard of, and it is said that it requires three different extraordinary materials to be refined.

Before coming this time, Zheng Zhilin had written several memorials and submitted them to the Privy Council and the Tianshi Mansion respectively.

It’s a pity that the masters don’t seem to think that this young man Du Lin has the ability to really change the political ecology of Changtang.

Indeed, if he doesn't want to come back, there will be no interference, but what if one day he comes back in the name of Zhao's Zhulong son-in-law?

How will you receive him?

"Zheng Yuli, you are still awake." Zhao Dajun's answer came from outside the door. Zheng Zhilin hurried over and opened the door.

"Today, several of my subordinates made a fool of themselves in front of everyone. When I return to Changtang, I will go to Zhulong Pavilion to apologize for this matter." The prince who walked in sighed helplessly.

"Xiaojun is right, his mercy is a gift to you two. If he hits you, you don't have to." Zheng Zhilin said this from the bottom of his heart: "Xiaojun has always been kind, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it. Even if he kills people, they are just child traffickers. In Changtang, they would be scum who would be whipped to death."

"Although I am older, it is indeed a bit reckless to call you Lord in front of this kid Du Lin. What's more, there are many people seeing this today. If I don't react, it will only harm these two yellow-skinned guys." When Lord Zhao said this, he noticed the letter on the desk.

He didn't ask, but Zheng Zhilin had to make his position clear and explain the situation: "There are many fleet leaders with the same mission as me. Most of them serve certain families, while I serve the Supervisory Department. This time, I want to once again explain to His Majesty the strength of Lord Du Lin."

"It's a pity that this child doesn't seem willing to come back." Speaking of this, Zhao Dajun seemed very regretful.

Zheng Zhilin saw his regret and kept it in mind.

Indeed, if he had such a good son-in-law and could bring him back home, not to mention what Zhao would do, I'm afraid Mo would be jealous to the point of going crazy.
