Chapter 119 Moon Black
"Bastard!" A sudden shout came from Duke Zhongguo's mansion, but Ling Tiancheng slapped the table in front of him with a palm, and the ring-open tiger eyes flashed with fierce light.
Qu Feiyan glanced at her husband's anger and comforted her softly: "Old man, why are you still trying to make trouble when you're so old? What do you care about Gou Zihua? It's because our mansion will change the third table this month!"
"You don't know that it's not just Gou Zihua's targeting me now. All the ministers in the court seem to be fascinated by ghosts. They even unanimously support the Zhongguo Army to withdraw troops from Changyu Pass!" Ling Tiancheng was still angry and swallowed a mouthful of tea and said, "Although the seven countries have already reached an agreement that will not cause any war within a hundred years, the Yan Kingdom has recruited troops in recent years, and such a strong country is willing to remain silent? What does it mean to not fight for a hundred years? What is an agreement? It's just a piece of waste paper! Gou Zihua actually asked the Zhongguo Army to return to the court from Changyu Pass. The big pass is less than 50,000 people to guard it. Isn't that equivalent to opening the city gate and letting others go straight in? Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition!" When he was angry, Ling Tiancheng slapped it with another palm, but he slapped it in the empty space, and couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that her husband was like this, Qu Feiyan didn't say much, just stood by and listened carefully.
"And today, the treacherous minister actually... said bluntly that I had stationed the Zhongguo army in Changyu Pass, and was staring at Zhaojing in the north!" Ling Tiancheng suddenly stood up, his bearded hair flying, "I have been fighting for the Wei Kingdom for nearly 60 years, fighting south and north, protecting the king and savior, regaining the mountains and rivers of the Wei Kingdom, and two sons died in the battlefield! If I had 'why', there would be no Wei Kingdom dynasty today. Let him, this treacherous minister, referring to a deer as a horse, and disrupting our court rules!"
"I originally wanted to take the Sword of the Governor's Kingdom and killed the treacherous minister on the spot. However, the sword was destroyed. I could only look at the civil and military officials in the court and frowned and questioned me..."
"Today, the emperor seems to have listened to the false words of the ministers and turned a blind eye to my proposal! Alas! The late emperor... I am ashamed of you--" Thinking of this, Ling Tiancheng felt sore in his heart, and his tiger's eyes were already red.
"Tiancheng..." Qu Feiyan's sigh made her empathetic. Their Ling family shed all their blood in Changyu Pass, and they thought of their two sons who died and their seriously injured eldest son, the former female Feiyan couldn't help but cry quietly.
"Since that's the case, why don't you take down the post of General and retire to your hometown? It's better to go back to your ancestral home to live your life. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is wide and not to think about earthly affairs!" A cold voice came from the door, but Ling Duanshang had already stood there at some time. Of course, he heard everything that Ling Tiancheng said before. Seeing the anger that could not be hidden between his eyebrows and eyes, he was naturally resentful.
After hearing what Ling Duanshang said, Qu Feiyan was stunned, and her eyes fell on Ling Tiancheng's face again, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes. Although she knew that Ling Tiancheng was not greedy for fame and fortune above that person, he could not bear to leave the mountains and rivers that had been hard-working for decades, so that these slanderous ministers would defeat them step by step.
Sure enough, Ling Tiancheng's vision showed some struggle, and he drank blood on the battlefield for nearly sixty years, the picturesque country of defending the country, Ling Yun and Ling Jian's promise that made him, the father, relieved before the battle... For a moment, the past scenes kept reappearing in his mind, and suddenly sighed and said, "Shang'er, wait for your fifteenth birthday banquet in three days, grandpa will give you a reply!"
Looking at the persistence in Ling Tiancheng's eyes, Ling Duanshang sighed helplessly, and his eyes wandered on the former and said, "But I have a good idea, don't know if it's feasible?"
As soon as he said this, Qu Feiyan and Ling Tiancheng both looked at him, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"It is undeniable that Gou Zihua is a treacherous minister. Everyone knows the miserable things he has done, and even the emperor may have doubted him. However, this old fox has always been without any trace of doing things. In other words, everyone knows that he is a treacherous minister, but he can't catch his handle. Of course, with your prestige, and the power of the governor's country's Shang Fangjian can kill the old fox that has already exposed its ambitions with one sword, but what's hateful is that Yu Jian has been destroyed by Xie Chuan." Ling Duanshang dragged a Grand Master chair and sat down, and said, "Since everyone knows it well, and if you have Yu Jian, you will definitely attack him... Why not just sneak into his prime minister's mansion tonight and cut the old thief directly? With your martial arts, even if there is Xie Chuan in the mansion, Gou Zihua is still doomed!"
Hearing this, Ling Tiancheng's brows suddenly turned around. He had thought that he would attack this treacherous minister directly to prevent future troubles. If he had cut this biggest cancer, the court of Wei's country would definitely continue, but...
Ling Tiancheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No basis, I can convict him of death with my own mouth, not to mention that the court is now full of treacherous ministers. If I dare to take action, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I will be convicted of a loyal and a serious crime of ill-god planning, and my life is a small crime. However, the reputation of my Ling family, your grandmother, you, and the lives of a hundred people in my Duke Zhongguo's mansion will be lost..."
Ling Duanshang actually wanted to say that there was an escape talisman in the Supreme Lord. If Ling Tiancheng's martial arts were added, he would definitely be able to do it without anyone knowing it. But he had already heard what Ling Tiancheng meant. With his reputation as a loyal Duke of Zhongguo, he would definitely not do it, so he stopped talking.
Of course, Ling Duanshang also thought of another person, that is the Supreme Master. The Supreme Master's cultivation is extraordinary. Although he did not win or lose with Ling Tiancheng, the talisman technique and powerful Five-wheeled Armor Talisman and the final trump card. If he was used all of them, he would not be equal to Ling Tiancheng in the fourth chapter of the First Sword Art. It was simple to deal with characters like Xie Chuan. However, if he asked this old man to do some secret things, he would do it against his conscience, but if he killed someone... he was still a secular person, the old Taoist priest would jump up and say no.
However, Ling Duanshang had already wanted to get rid of Gou Zihua and quickly. Although he was like an old Taoist priest who insisted on not killing people, and would not kill wise lives, if the other party was so dangerous that it could threaten his life, and he repeatedly made bad things, even the kind and timid rabbit would resist and bite people.
Moreover, due to his professional qualities in his previous life, Ling Duanshang had already smelled a trace of uneasiness. What Gou Zihua did this must have a reliance on, and this reliance was definitely useless for the Supreme Master and Ling Tiancheng, saying that the power of the world is definitely useless, so the person behind him must be Xie Chuan, the group of immortal cultivators!
Although I don’t know why the warning of the Supreme Master lost its effect on Xie Chuan, Ling Duanshang still found the Supreme Master with doubts in his heart. However, after hearing this, the old man laughed loudly and said something, it turned out that the immortal cultivators in the entire Donglu were checked and balanced by the five major sects, and no one who cultivated the truth could attack the secular mortals. Of course, there were some very special phenomena, such as the occasional occurrence of Xie Chuan to Ling Tiancheng, which was difficult to eliminate. However, if a group of cultivators took action against the secular mortals, it would inevitably lead to the attack of the five major sects. The final result was naturally that the sect or family that took action should not be wanted to hang out in the Donglu. Therefore, a large-scale occurrence of such a thing is almost impossible except in the years when good and evil wars and the years when resources were scarce.
The reason why the Supreme Master took the initiative to shock Xie Chuan was to avoid him committing crimes alone and wandering outside the legal nets of the five major sects. If more immortals were cultivators, then he would not need to take action. Of course, if Ling Tiancheng killed Xie Chuan that day, then this matter would be a big deal, and the sects behind the latter would have a legitimate reason to raise an army to ask for punishment. The five major sects naturally would not give up the entire immortal cultivation sect for a secular person. After all, although the good and evil are at peace now, they may have another big battle one day.
However, Ling Duanshang was still a little confused. If it weren't for the support of the immortal cultivator, where did Gou Zihua get the courage? However, his fifteenth birthday was approaching, and almost the entire Zhaojing officials' eyes were gathered on their Ling family. After all, Chengping Bo is still the two leaders of this imperial court martial arts hunting conference. In full view of everyone, he had to let go of Gou Zihua first.
