Ping Zhengsheng lowered his head and took a slow breath.
After a moment of silence.
When he raised his head again, the expression on his face had become a bit ferocious.
He knew that no matter what, his ending would be death.
But he doesn't want to die.
Even if there is any possibility of survival, he will still struggle and fight for it.
Even if...!
Sell your soul.
That feeling is something only people of his status know.
Because the word suicide does not exist in his life dictionary.
That was the other siblings' choice, not his.
Since the family abandoned him, why can't he abandon the family?
There are too many secrets about the Ping family in his brain.
One pile, one piece.
Aren't these secrets enough to buy yourself a chance to survive?
Moreover, the dragon-breaking plan failed and the emperor was imprisoned. He was only the executor.
If Mr. Ping had revealed something or hinted something to Ping Zhengsheng beforehand, things would never have turned out like this.
The problem lies here.
No one gave Ping Zhengsheng time to think and weigh.
Just like a well-known academic master.
Getting into Peking University is just a basic test for top academics.
But unfortunately, after checking the results, everyone told him that your parents chose a third-rate junior college right next to your home.
Don't resist, don't struggle.
Both parents are reluctant to leave you, and they do it all for your own good.
Are you afraid that the top student will set the house on fire?
Ping Zhengsheng is like this at the moment.
He looked directly at the head of the Ping family and said in a very soft voice:
"Grandfather, do you really want to watch me apologize in public?"
The head of the Ping family finally slowly opened his eyes, and his slack cheeks trembled slightly:
"Sheng, take your responsibility!"
Ping Zhengsheng suddenly smiled strangely:
"So……!"
He said slowly:
"I don't want to die!"
"I dedicated everything to my family."
"But at this moment, you all want me to die."
"Am I responsible for the failure of the Broken Dragon Plan?"
"Is it my responsibility if I can't kill Su Mu?"
"I tried every means, but it still failed."
"As for imprisoning His Majesty?"
"Grandfather, didn't you say that...?"
"Bagaya Road! That's enough!"
The head of the Ping family stared at Ping Zhengsheng in shock and anger, and shouted in a cold voice:
"Are you still a descendant of the Ping clan?"
The ferocious expression on Ping Zhengsheng's face slowly calmed down.
He glanced at Minamoto Yoshitsune and others, then turned around and bowed to everyone:
"Everyone, please forgive me for being rude."
Then, he looked at Su Mu:
"I don't know who you are, but I know you can save my life."
"If I trade all the secrets in my head with you, will you save me?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Ping clan was shocked.
"Baga!!"
"Donnie Boom!!"
The Genji and other noble families were also shocked and dumbfounded.
Especially Minamoto Yoshitsune, his eyes turned green when he stared at Taira Masamori.
How can it be worthwhile to force a Ping Zhengsheng to death to get the secrets in his head?
The lives of ten Ping Zhengshengs are not as good as one-tenth of the Ping family's top secrets that he has mastered.
The death of Ping Zhengsheng means that the Ping family has lost an heir.
Although the heir is called the future of the family, it is the top priority.
But compared with the family's future, it is obvious that the family's current survival is more important.
It’s all gone now, and there’s still a shitty future.
Therefore, the death of an heir is actually an bearable loss.
Except for Su Mu, everyone in the hall was shocked.
The person who has the hardest time believing his ears is the head of the Ping family.
He never expected that Ping Zhengsheng would actually say such words.
This is simply a slap in the face.
The reason why the ancient Japanese nobles were so stubborn was because they had a stubbornness that was almost paranoid and perverted.
They are extremely pious and fanatically believe in their nation.
For hundreds or even thousands of years, what they have done has only one purpose.
Keep the bloodline of the Dahe clan pure.
Why did the ancient aristocracy have such hatred for the Chinese among the four major classes in Japan?
It is because the Chinese race that has been formed in the past thousands of years is completely of Chinese blood.
The Genji and Taira clans, the ancient aristocrats with the purest blood, valued honor more than their lives.
You can fail.
You can be incompetent.
However, you must not be afraid of death!
It is even a supreme honor to commit seppuku for one's family.
How many family wastes, in the end, in order to show their own value, even deliberately went out to cause trouble, and then committed hara-kiri.
Because in order to maintain the family honor, those who commit seppuku can enter the family shrine and receive offerings.
This is truly a supreme glory.
Why does China always hate that bullshit country x shrine in Japan?
Shrines in Japan are basically equivalent to the ancestral halls of large families in China.
Who can be enshrined in the ancestral hall and accept the kneeling worship of future generations?
Most people simply don’t understand the meaning of this tradition.
To put it more simply, it is the cohesion of the family.
To put it more broadly, it is the backbone of the country.
Ping Zhengsheng actually gave up everything in order to survive.
Isn't this just unforgivable?
Which member of the Ping clan can sit here who is not in a high and powerful position?
Even the two Shinto high priests.
When they faced Ping Zhengsheng, their eyes were blood red, as if they were breathing fire.
Unfortunately, Ping Zhengsheng turned a blind eye and just looked at Su Mu.
The head of the Ping family no longer pretends to be dead at this time.
He straightened up, trembling all over.
In his memory, it had been many years since anyone had dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
Especially now, in front of the Genji family, the Sato family, the Fujiwara family and other noble family heads, the heir designated by his family has committed such a heinous mistake.
The Ping clan has become a joke.
Even this shame is enough to make the Ping family's reputation plummet.
What qualifications does the Taira have to steal Shintoism?
Damn it!!
The angrier he became, the head of the Ping family suddenly slapped the table and jumped up:
"Baga! You rebellious, I will expel you from the family!"
Ping Zhengsheng smiled slightly:
"There is an old Chinese saying that if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers. Grandfather, no! Mr. Ping Qingsheng, this is your fault! If you want me to die, you should have told me in advance!"
"You you you!! You...!!"
The head of the Ping family was so angry that he was shaking all over.
However, in Japan's upper-class society, which places great emphasis on respect and inferiority, being rude before the emperor is a sign of extreme lack of cultivation.
Even if he wanted to cut Ping Zhengsheng into pieces with a thousand knives.
Even if he decided to imprison the emperor.
But now, in full view of everyone, as long as old Fujiwara is still sitting there, he cannot move.
this!
Just the rules.
Su Mu suddenly sighed softly:
"You want to take refuge in me?"
Ping Zhengsheng nodded seriously.
Su Mu grinned.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at someone:
"Kill him and I'll keep you alive."
Everyone looked along Su Mu's finger.
That's where the Minamoto clan is.
Minamoto Yoshitsune also looked shocked.
When did Kosuke offend the other party?
Minamoto Kosuke was engrossed in watching the show, but he didn't expect to get excited.
