"Wu Gen, do you really think that in this huge capital, with your cultivation, no one can control you? If they weren't afraid of some of your methods, they would have long...
You should bow your head when you should. Some people will be punished for their actions, so why should you be so aggressive? "On Water Street, Li Yuantong had an expressionless face and a cold tone.
Wu Gen laughed silently, "Isn't it because you are afraid of me destroying the city?"
Jumping onto a narrow stone bar by the side of the road, Wu Gen spread his arms and walked unsteadily on it. When he reached the end, he jumped down gently and stared at Li Yuantong with a half-smile, "Sect Master, I once embraced this world with tenderness. , but it is still fierce with me. I was full of hope for this world, but it disappointed me time and time again.
The sect leader came all the way today to find me, a person who is not even qualified to enter your mountain gate. Isn't it because some people asked you to be a lobbyist? Wu Gen is really flattered by such treatment.
I admit that a person like the sect master can crush me to ashes as long as he strikes at will. But before I die, I will definitely not give in. I may drag some people with me to be buried with me.
If Wu Gen dies, he will die, but some people's lives are precious and they don't want to die with a rotten person like me. So these two days I wandered around the residences of dignitaries in the city, but no one took action against me.
This world is so unreasonable. You reason with it and act according to the rules, but it abandons you like a shoe. You are unreasonable, but he earnestly advises you to be reasonable and be kind to others. That's bullshit. "
Li Yuantong sighed and softened his tone, "A gentleman is a gentleman who teaches with generosity and gentleness and does not retaliate against injustice. Wu Gen, I also know that some people do something wrong and there is always injustice in the world.
But if you act harshly and retaliate with anger, how can you last long? Tolerance is helpful. Tolerance is a great virtue. I will make it clear to you about your matters, and I will never let you feel cold. When it is convenient, do it conveniently, and be merciful to others. "
Wu Gen was furious, "Shit, when you ambushed me on the cross slope, you were tolerant. When you framed me with false evidence, you were kind. When you took revenge on me for personal gain, you were virtuous."
Now you ask me to be lenient, but if I don't comply, I am being cruel and ignorant, which is really fucking ridiculous.
You people, standing under the dazzling sunlight and standing on a high moral position, come to accuse us mice who are struggling to survive for stealing the chaff from the ground.
Weakness is our original sin. "
As the head of a large sect, Li Yuantong had never been accused like this before. His face changed drastically and his sleeves bulged high. After being silent for a long time, his face struggled several times, and finally became a little depressed, "Wu Gen, I know you have resentments in your heart, but these resentments should not be spread on innocent people. The reason why I stayed in the capital is to prevent you from losing control and causing the city to suffer. The people suffered.
As for your grievances, someone will help you resolve them. Are you willing to meet someone with me? However, when you see this person, you have to put aside your resentment and don't make mistakes, otherwise no one can save you. I have known Jian Xing for many years, and I have met Zhu Buzhan several times, so I took the initiative to come here to find you.
Qian Hua is a good boy. If you still have such a strong attitude, I would like to advise Zhu Buzhan not to push the child into the fire pit. "
"Uh." Wu Gen's expression suddenly became as calm as water, "Please don't take offense, Sect Master. It's just that the boy's resentment has been brewing for a long time, and he lost control for a while, so he lost his temper. I hope Sect Master can be tolerant and magnanimous. A gentleman does not care about villains. Pass."
Seeing Wu Gen replying back to what he said, Li Yuantong was a little angry at the same time, but he had no choice but to wave his long sleeves and stride forward along Water Street.
Wu Gen also flicked his sleeves and followed Li Yuantong's example, walking forward with his hands behind his back. It's just that the square step is really hard to learn, it's neither fish nor fowl, and it feels like being crowned by a monkey.
Walking all the way to a remote alley, the crowds of people were gradually dwindling, and Wu Gen gently put his hand on his waist. Normally, as Sect Leader Li, he would not be able to do anything to set up an ambush, but he must be on guard against others, just in case the person behind him insists on taking action.
Walking to the corner of the alley, there is an open-air stall selling haggis, which is common in the capital. The fire flickered, and the steamy steam carried the aroma of haggis, drifting far into the alley. The owner behind the stall has snow-white hair and is busy putting the haggis in front of him into the pot.
There were two people sitting on the only two low stools in front of the stall. Wu Gen knew one of them, Zhang Changshi, who went to Mingshan to pick him up that day. The other person is a middle-aged man, wearing a gray gown, without a crown or robe, with a gray beard and hair, and a huge frame. He is immersed in a bowl of haggis in front of him.
The bowl was full of green, almost piled up into a hill, but it was filled with chopped green onions and coriander.
Li Yuantong walked behind the middle-aged man and whispered a few words. The middle-aged man nodded, raised his chopsticks and pointed at Wu Gen, "Wu Gen, the haggis here tastes quite good. Come and try a bowl."
Li Yuantong glanced at Wu Gen, but retreated to the entrance of the alley, waved his hand, and everything became quiet.
When Wu Gen walked to the stall, Zhang Changshi quickly picked up his bowl, moved it to one side and squatted down.
"Sit down. Eat a bowl of haggis first." The middle-aged man ordered. Wu Gen ignored Zhang Changshi's murderous eyes and sat down carelessly.
"Give him a bowl." The middle-aged man said without raising his head, sweating profusely, "I have eaten in so many places, but the taste here is the most authentic."
Zhang Changshi quickly walked up to the boss and made a few gestures. The boss understood, cut the haggis on the chopping board, and threw it into the pot.
Wu Gen suddenly realized that he was deaf. Now he didn't have to worry about being overheard.
For a moment, everything was quiet, except for the snoring of the middle-aged man swallowing, the snapping of the bellows, and the gurgling of the mutton soup boiling. The fire in the furnace kept rising and falling, illuminating Wu Gen's face in and out.
"You know who I am. In this city, there is no need to be polite, just call me Mr. Zhao." The middle-aged man took another chopstick of coriander. It seemed that he really liked the taste.
"I know." Wu Gen said calmly, "It is really an honor for Wu Gen to allow you to condescend to meet me." Needless to say, this person can be so awe-inspiring to Li Yuantong and Zhang Changshi. Naturally, the current Emperor Zhao Zhao Ye Ye.
"It won't work if I don't call. I'll be wandering around the capital all day long. I don't want something to happen to Fuli City again." Zhao Ye took a sip of the clear soup from the bowl without raising his head.
"It's distracting, sir. I didn't mean it." Wu Gen stared at the boiling mutton soup and swallowed his saliva. Not to mention, the taste of this haggis is really tempting.
"Wu Gen, I heard that you know the art of witchcraft." Zhao Hua suddenly raised his head.
"No." Wu Gen said resolutely, "This is just a false accusation made by King Jinchun and Zhao Ling. Otherwise, how could they still be alive and well? I would have suffered from a serious problem long ago."
"Haha, you are still a bit cautious, put a wedge in my heart." Zhao Ye raised his head and laughed, "You are framing an important official of the imperial court. If it is not true, you will be beheaded. "
"The kid is just telling the truth."
"Zhu Buzhan came to me and asked me to protect you and his daughter. This is the first time in so many years that he has come to me for an affair. I have warned the second and third children to calm down. Otherwise, if you were wandering around the capital these days, someone would have been unable to restrain themselves and took action." The middle-aged man spoke in a more serious tone, stirring the haggis in the bowl with chopsticks.
"I ask you, what would you do if Zhu Buzhan, Jian Xing and others were killed or killed according to Lao Er's plan?"
It turns out that everything is under this person's control. Wu Gen thought for a while and smiled slightly, "Of course I will try to save people. If I can't save them, I will try to kill the people behind the scenes. If I can't fight, I will run away. Sooner or later, the knife will fight." On their necks.”
"You are brave. Is it possible for one person to fight against a group of people or against the power of a country? I, Zhao Guo, have been established for so many years, how can I easily shake it?" Zhao Ye said disdainfully.
"Sir, none of the lost civilizations in the Great Relic Continent were great for a while, and they all disappeared from the world in the end. Flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and this is not the case for a continent or a clan, let alone a country. Things are only human-made.
Moreover, now that several sons are fighting for the heir and forming factions with each other, sooner or later the country will be shaken, and there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it. "Wu Gen was not afraid at all and still talked eloquently.
"You are saying that I am a frog in the well, and you are also brazenly talking about destroying our country. Are you telling me whether I should chop you up?" The middle-aged man put down the chopsticks in his hands, and slowly straightened up, revealing the aura of having been in a high position for a long time.
"Your Excellency, you won't. After all, everything is based on assumptions. Your Excellency, haven't you already made a choice? How could such a situation happen?" Wu Gen also straightened his back, which frightened Zhang Changshi who was opposite him. half dead
"Wu Gen, I have a grudge against him for not being honored for a long time." Zhao Ye suddenly laughed and looked at Wu Gen's expression.
"It all depends on your decision." At this moment, Wu Gen's haggis was ready and placed in front of him.
Looking at the crushed chili peppers, chopped green onions and coriander in front of him, Wu Gen took a large spoonful of chili peppers and put them into the bowl, and then picked up a chopstick of chopped green onions.
After stirring it for a few times and about to start eating, Zhao Hua grabbed a handful of coriander and put it into Wu Gen's bowl, "Eating haggis, this is the only thing that tastes right."
Wu Gen glanced at the coriander in the bowl and let out a sigh of relief. It was finally done. After thinking about this, he put down his chopsticks and bowed sideways, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Zhao Ye smiled softly and said, "If you want to thank me, thank Zhu Buzhan and Jian Xing. But you are right to remind me that it is time to hit some people. They are jumping around one by one. I am tired of watching them."
"How are you going to beat it, sir?" Wu Gen put a chopstick into his mouth and asked curiously.
Zhao Ye thought for a while, "I can't touch my family. After all, I am also a father, a brother, and a son. Some things should not be done too harshly. As for other things, they should be killed and guarded. They are just for serious people. People make room.
As people get older, their hearts become a little softer and they don't see too much blood. If I had known about the herring case back then, I would have taken the opportunity to clean it up, and I would not have caused the disaster to this day. "
Wu Gen raised his head sharply, "Sir, what is this herring case about? I've asked everyone, but they all kept it secret. I wonder if you can shed some light on it."
Zhao Hua smiled coldly, "Is there anything we can't say?"
