Chapter 56: The Cancer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, knowing the mistakes but not admitting them (please read and collect)
No wonder Gu Wushuang was surprised.
When she was in the early stage of the fourth-grade Vientiane Realm, she would definitely die when faced with the third-grade Mysterious Armor Iron Clothes.
However, Lu Ning, who was younger and weaker than her, actually saved her?
He saw his female boss staring at him coldly.
Lu Ning didn't care anymore. His cultivation level couldn't hide what happened last night.
Besides, sooner or later, his cultivation level will be exposed.
He immediately said: "The fifth grade is hanging in the air."
Gu Wushuang stared at Lu Ning with a shocked expression. He was seventeen years old, fifth-grade in the air, and his talent was even more amazing than hers.
How could the fifth-grade suspended in the air block the third-grade black armor?
"It's true that the fifth rank is hanging in the air."
Seeing Gu Wushuang staring at him with disbelief, Lu Ning was also speechless.
He could only rise in the air and release his true energy.
Gu Wushuang shook his head: "I didn't question your realm...!"
Lu Ning's fifth-level Suspended Realm was already terrifying. If he really said that he was at the third-level martial arts level, she wouldn't believe it at all.
"I'm just confused, how did you, the fifth-rank Xuankong, lead me to escape from the hands of a strong third-rank martial artist?"
"Madam, these are not important, the important thing is that we escaped!"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and she quickly diverted Gu Wushuang's attention and continued: "How is your health? Do we still want to continue chasing?"
Gu Wushuang shook his head: "There is no need to chase us. If we are exposed, then Liang Qi will not be able to reach Yongzhou."
Lu Ning was slightly stunned: "What do you mean, he will die?"
Gu Wushuang frowned: "He will definitely die."
As he said that, he sighed in his heart: I just found a clue that might be able to identify Mr. Jinlin, but it was broken again.
In Beijing, his hands and eyes can reach the sky, who is this golden-scaled young master?
On the side, Lu Ning went to open the window.
I found that the sun was setting in the west.
He actually slept for most of the day.
He looked back at Gu Wushuang and said, "Brother Gu, should we rest here for one night, or should we go back to Beijing immediately?"
"Let's have a night's rest." Gu Wushuang said.
Although her injuries are much better, she is still a little weak and should not travel for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Lu Ning: "Where's my wallet?"
Lu Ning then remembered and hurriedly took out his wallet and handed it to her.
When Gu Wushuang touched it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Where's the gold?"
Lu Ning said speechlessly: "I bought some healing pills. Otherwise, how could you have recovered so quickly?"
"I have more than forty taels of gold!"
"That's not enough. A Rhubarb Pill costs thirty taels of gold, and a Peiyuan Pill costs fifty taels."
"..."
"If Miss Meng from Zhuxian Medicine House hadn't been a kind person, she wouldn't have been able to buy even two pills for fifty taels."
Lu Ning glanced at Gu Wushuang angrily. To be honest, the pills were really expensive.
No wonder people say that the poor are rich in literature and martial arts.
Without money, it is not easy to become a seventh-level warrior, let alone a peerless master.
night.
When Lu Ning saw Gu Wushuang practicing and recovering, he didn't bother him and walked out of the restaurant alone.
Zhuxian Square.
Lu Ning came slowly, as if taking a walk.
Staring at the jade statue glowing under the night sky.
There is moonlight tonight, and the jade statue is much brighter. No wonder Gu Wushuang said that before.
Quietly stared at the ten words on the jade base, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs" in a daze.
These ten words had a huge impact on his soul!
For a moment, Lu Ning's eyes shifted to the other side.
I saw a woman in purple clothes, followed by two maids.
The three of them were worshiping devoutly in front of the white jade statue.
The woman in purple is none other than Meng Nanzhu, whom Lu Ning had met during the day.
"Senior Zhu Xian, please protect all people in the world from being destroyed or displaced." Meng Nanzhu knelt down ten meters away from the stone statue and bowed devoutly.
Lu Ning frowned, this Meng Nanzhu left a deep impression on him.
He is definitely not the kind of person who is deliberately artificial.
As he was watching, suddenly a luxurious carriage came from a distance, and a cold man in white got out of the carriage.
The man was radiating an icy chill from head to toe, as if he had just come out of an ice cellar.
The man in white is Yue Xiao.
He seemed to feel Lu Ning's gaze.
Yue Xiao looked over coldly, and his eyes collided with Lu Ning's in the night sky.
"So strong!"
Lu Ning subconsciously exclaimed.
Seeing the latter looking away, he walked towards Meng Nanzhu.
Lu Ningcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He only felt that the aura of the young man in white robe was very similar to that of the mysterious black armor shot last night, but his eyes were different.
I don’t know who the young man in white robe is, nor can I see through his cultivation level.
Soon, Lu Ning discovered that Meng Nanzhu was very polite to the man in white, the kind of politeness that would repel people thousands of miles away.
But the young man in white robe is obviously interested in Meng Nanzhu.
It may be a personality issue, the young man in white robe seems a bit stiff in his speech, expression, and movements.
"Master-in-law?"
Lu Ning murmured, withdrew his gaze and turned towards other streets.
Came to a dimly lit street.
Lu Ning found many homeless people, beggars, old and young lying on both sides of the road.
I didn't notice this phenomenon when I went to the city before.
Seeing him passing by, the homeless and beggars didn't even notice.
Lu Ning knew that his current clothing was only slightly better than that of a beggar.
Fortunately, it is only late autumn now, if it is winter.
These homeless beggars have not yet been resettled, and most of them are afraid of freezing to death.
With a sigh, Lu Ning came to another street.
But I found that the lights were brightly lit, and the figures were like weaving, tugging and tugging, rejoicing, and it was so joyful.
Compared with the dim streets behind it, it's like a completely different world.
Lu Ning's eyes flickered, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Finally, he slowly returned to the restaurant.
…
The next day.
Lu Ning and Gu Wushuang rode out of the city together.
However, one day and one night, many refugees appeared outside the north gate of Zhuxian City.
Gu Wushuang frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid that the rioting in Sangzhou will start again, and the people will be displaced and flee to Zhuxian City."
Lu Ning said: "Why didn't your Majesty send troops to directly suppress Sangzhou?"
Gu Wushuang stared at him: "Why not send one? Sangzhou and Yongzhou are close to each other. Your Majesty has always asked King Yongshan to send troops to suppress it."
Lu Ning said: "Didn't King Yongshan send troops?"
Gu Wushuang said: "We have sent out troops, but it is just a show. If the situation becomes tighter, we will just arrest some people at random."
Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth and seemed to understand.
If the world is not in chaos, how can King Yongshan have the chance to ascend the throne?
Emperor Mingwu was powerless to rectify this situation.
We can only wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne and carry out drastic measures.
"Brother Gu, while wandering around last night, I met a young master named Yue...!" Lu Ning gave a rough description of Yue Xiao's situation, and then looked at Gu Wushuang.
After hearing this, Gu Wushuang said: "The person you are talking about should be Mr. Yue Xiao from Prince Yue's Mansion."
Lu Ning became curious and asked, "What is the origin of Prince Yue's Mansion?"
Gu Wushuang frowned and said: "A king with a different surname during the reign of Emperor Xingwu. The Battle of Yunlu was led by King Yue, but he was tricked to death at the beginning of the battle."
"Everyone in the world knew that Qin Zhong was responsible. Later, Emperor Xingwu also knew about it, but he did not punish Qin Zhong for his crime, and even promoted Qin Zhong."
As he spoke, Gu Wushuang stopped, sighed and said:
"It involves some matters in the court, so I can't say more...!"
"Just remember that the young man in white robe is Yue Xiao, the grandson of King Yue. He is not in the government and has no real power, but he enjoys the treatment of a prince."
Lu Ning nodded secretly after hearing this.
Know your mistakes but don’t admit them!
Emperor Xingwu killed King Yue. Although he knew he was wrong, how could an emperor admit his mistake? Naturally, he could not punish Qin Zhong for his crime.
As for why the cancer of Qin Zhong was kept until the period of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
Even now, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty has not punished Qin Zhong.
Lu Ning guessed that perhaps Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty believed that if Qin Zhong was killed, there would be another Qin Zhong.
In other words, there will be one treacherous person like Qin Zhong in every era.
It's easy to kill.
But if used properly, it is more useful than killing.
Lu Ning took a deep breath and said, "Brother Gu, actually I want to say that Master Yue Xiao's aura is very similar to that of the armored man who intercepted us last night!"
