"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Xingyun unceremoniously took the two treasures. He didn't expect Han Feng to think so highly of him. With the mentality of reciprocating a favor, Zhou Xingyun pulled out the Dragon-Slaying Sword...
Zhou Xingyun displayed his weapon in the Jinluan Palace, which shocked everyone around him. The Ouchi masters beside Han Feng hurriedly escorted him.
If everyone hadn't known that Zhou Xingyun was the favored son of heaven who had received the emperor's favor, the guards would have captured him immediately.
"It doesn't matter." Han Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down and step back.
"Ahem..." In full view of everyone, Zhou Xingyun casually walked up to Wang Yushi and showed a harmless smile: "Master Yushi, you are a very lucky person. You turned from darkness to light at the last moment and saved yourself from death.
"
Zhou Xingyun said as he put the sword blade on Wang Yushi's shoulder: "But before I resign, I have to remind everyone in the palace that there is only one chance to change your ways. If you dare to make mistakes again, this sword will not just be put aside."
On your shoulders. Do you understand?"
"I understand! I understand! What Master Young Master said is true!" Wang Yushi nodded naively, and all the officials following him had pale faces and lowered their heads without speaking.
"The emperor is my brother. From now on, you must be honest and help the emperor govern the world. I will not pursue you or come to you. We do not offend the well. However, you want to cause trouble, take bribes and bend the law for personal gain."
If you cheat and hinder the emperor's governance, then I can tell you
, I know some special methods, which I learned when I fought against the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor..." Zhou Xingyun took out a small clay pill from his arms, shook it under the eyes of Wang Yushi and others and said with a smile: "
It is enough to become your eternal nightmare, making it impossible for rebellious officials and traitors to live and die."
Who is Zhou Xingyun? The young miracle doctor! The poison refined by the miracle doctor... What a joke!
"Long live my king! Long live my king! We will do our best to assist my king in governing the world!" Wang Yushi shouted quickly.
"Very good! Please, officials present, please recognize the deacons of various sects standing opposite you! They are all martial arts masters who can take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops! If any of you dares to cause trouble and touch a hair of the emperor, we will
I will crush your eggs at all costs."
Zhou Xingyun violently threw the scabbard into the sky and stood the long sword in front of Wang Yushi. When the scabbard fell freely and was placed on the sword blade, Zhou Xingyun patted Wang Yushi on the shoulder and said very kindly: "Don't be nervous, the late emperor's
A sword will not kill a good man. I think you have a bright future. Work hard in the future. It is the duty of the Censor to supervise all the officials. Don’t let me come back to share your worries."
"When I am not with the emperor, all officials, please don't forget that this imperial city... I protect it!"
After saying that, Zhou Xingyun turned around gracefully, strode back to his original position, and waited for Han Feng to retreat.
Seeing him intimidating Wang Yushi, Taifu Xu couldn't help but shook his head in confusion. He was the only one who dared to make mischief in the Jinluan Palace. However, it was not bad for Zhou Xingyun to do so, because Wang Yushi and others assisted Han Qiumi to quell the chaos at the critical moment. Not only did they have no fault, but they had merit.
, if you don't give them some color, these guys may join forces again, and officials will protect each other to seduce Han Feng.
At the same time, Zhou Xingyun's resignation today is also a very wise choice. With his sharpness and talent, Zhou Xingyun's performance is too outstanding. If he stays in the capital, he may become the target of public criticism.
Regardless of other officials, the Empress Dowager must be on guard against him and will try to suppress or exclude him. You must know that Xu Zhiqian is the best candidate to be the queen, and Zhou Xingyun kidnapped her, the Empress Dowager must feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Fortunately, Zhou Xingyun is not interested in fame and fortune. Today, he resigned without any regrets, which really opened Xu Taifu's eyes. He had to admire his broad-mindedness and understand why his granddaughter fell in love with such a little guy.
In the Jinluan Palace, all the civil and military officials were silent. To be honest, although Zhou Xingyun did this for the emperor, his behavior was really disrespectful and he did not dare to compliment him. Moreover... he called the emperor his brother, which was a bit treasonous.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Xingyun is the husband of Princess Yongming, the uncle of the state, and the brother-in-law of Han Feng. It is no problem that the two of them are considered brothers.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but realize that even if Zhou Xingyun resigned, his status as a prince-in-law and the uncle of our country would not change.
In other words, official position is nothing to Zhou Xingyun. So what if he resigns? Fame, fortune and wealth still belong to him!
As the saying goes, if a tree is as good as in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Zhou Xingyun saw the right opportunity, retreated behind the scenes to avoid the limelight, and became a hands-off shopkeeper... What a cunning and shrewd thief!
Han Feng was in power for the first time in his life, dealing with national affairs, but it ended amidst Zhou Xingyun's nonsense. Through today's morning court, all the civil and military officials present, as long as they were not fools, could see how much the new emperor trusted Zhou Xingyun.
After he retired from the court, almost all the officials in the court rushed to express their congratulations and farewell to Zhou Xingyun.
It is true that there are some special guys who think Zhou Xingyun should not resign, and even take the initiative to seek advice from him. For example, Uncle He Tai...
As soon as Zhou Xingyun walked out of the palace, Uncle He caught him and shouted at him that he was fooling around and that he was an official and not serious.
Now this old guy is the only one who dares to point fingers at Zhou Xingyun...
However, Zhou Xingyun's understatement made Uncle He turn off the flames.
"I am my uncle."
So what if he resigns? If he resigns, isn't he Han Qiumiao's husband? So... all smart guys know that Zhou Xingyun is doing this to retreat in order to advance, but the die-hards who are not involved in official circles can't see through it.
Zhou Xingyun returned to his mansion and saw a strange figure in the courtyard of his home. The mysterious little girl who claimed to be his daughter a while ago appeared in his house again.
However, the mysterious little girl was more honest today, holding her own saber in both hands and staying beside Nangong Ling tremblingly.
Zhou Xingyun looked at the little girl's standing posture and could tell that she seemed to respect and admire Nangong Ling very much.
"Did you return the knife to her?" Zhou Xingyun asked after entering the room.
"Otherwise, what can we do?" Mu Hanxing rolled his eyes at Zhou Xingyun angrily. The knife originally belonged to the mysterious girl, and...
The last time the little girl came to Zhou Xingyun's official residence, she returned Nangong Ling's saber. They didn't even thank her. How could they covet the little girl's saber?
"Zhou Yao...right?" Zhou Xingyun walked up to the mysterious little girl, feeling mixed in his heart and feeling very awkward. After all, this little girl called herself his daughter, which made him feel very weird...
"Yes, Dad." The mysterious little girl glanced at Zhou Xingyun tepidly. Although she shouted "Dad", her attitude was not very friendly.
"Um...can I change my name?" Zhou Xingyun felt uncomfortable all over. Why did he inexplicably become a father?
"father."
"No...I mean...I'm not your father." Zhou Xingyun looked embarrassed. Even if the mysterious little girl was really his future daughter, he would not be able to accept it for a while.
The most important thing is that the little girl called him daddy in front of everyone. Wei Suyao, Rao Yue, Xu Zhiqian and other women who were active in the courtyard were all stunned and observed them secretly.
"Mom, dad disowns me." Zhou Yao calmly turned to Nangong Ling and reported.
"You should find a way to deal with the problems you encounter by yourself." Nangong Ling replied lightly.
"Yes!" Zhou Yao responded seriously, then took a lunge, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and assumed a fighting posture: "Field: Shisui with a White Blade!"
The little girl took action as soon as she disagreed, and the strange magnetic field spread instantly, covering the entire Zhou Mansion. Thousands of white blades like swords suddenly appeared in the void, seemingly thousands of troops, surrounding Zhou Xingyun...
"Wait a minute! What do you want to do! I understand! I understand! You are my daughter, okay!" Zhou Xingyun admitted his defeat, secretly thinking that the little girl was really Nangong Ling's biological child, and he would use force to solve problems when he encountered them.
"Mom, dad accepts me." Zhou Yao resumed his standing posture, ignored Zhou Xingyun, and reported to Nangong Ling respectfully.
"..." Zhou Xingyun opened his mouth when he saw this, and couldn't help but feel that the little girl who claimed to be her daughter treated him extremely poorly.
"The martial arts you used just now were not taught to you by me." Nangong Ling was more concerned about the martial arts she used than the little girl's successful recognition of her father.
At that moment, Nangong Ling couldn't feel any internal energy floating around, and the Zhou Mansion was surrounded by strange white blades.
"As my mother told me, it was inherited from my father. I won't use it unless absolutely necessary." Zhou Yao held the saber in both hands and said to Nangong Ling calmly.
"I don't know that kind of weird technique... Also, what do you mean you won't use it unless you have to? Is your father treating you badly?"
"No. Dad is very good to me. That's why I want to bully him."
"Hey, hey, hey! Little friend Zhou Yao, your thoughts are very dangerous!"
"My mother once said that good people can be bullied, and good horses can be ridden by others. Only by practicing diligently can we keep improving and not be bullied."
"That and your father being nice to you are two different things!" Zhou Xingyun complained helplessly. The little girl's mind was a bit rigid...
"Also, the field I perform is not weird skills, it's called superpowers. I don't like using superpowers, and it has nothing to do with dad, because I prefer mom's sword skills." Zhou Yao ignored Zhou Xingyun and looked after himself.
Zi Di said to Nangong Ling.
"..." Zhou Xingyun was at a loss for words again, and couldn't help but recall the time when he asked Xia Jier a question at the Young Heroes Conference.
'Do you like dad more? Or do you like mom more?'
Zhou Xingyun patted his chest and promised that even if the mysterious little girl knew that liking was not a quantifier, she would not hesitate to tell everyone that of course she likes her mother more!
But having said that, the little girl's appearance is very similar to Nangong Ling's, especially her expressionless and indifferent attitude when speaking. The slight difference is that she is smaller in body and height, not as tall and graceful as Sister Nangong, and...
...The little girl looks indifferent on the surface, but in fact she is careless, as if she is just a reckless big-headed shrimp, purely dull and lacking in strength.
These shortcomings...could they be...inherited from her father? Zhou Xingyun frowned, he wasn't that bad, wasn't he?
