As expected by Shen Yu, within a short while, several strong and muscular men arrived at the prison.
These people were obviously not on the same level as the rabble in the cell before. The cell door was opened directly, and a middle-aged man who was obviously the leader said: "Please."
Shen Yu said nothing and followed the other person quietly, curious about where he would go next.
This is the imperial capital, and it is also an academy. No one dares to do anything to him blatantly.
Of course, what's more important is that Su Mo spoke to him once when he came to the academy.
"When you come here, it's like coming to your own home. You don't have to worry about anything."
Shen Yu believed in Su Mo.
What surprised him was that the other party took him directly out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, left the heavily guarded three provinces and six departments, and went straight to the streets of the imperial capital.
It was just dawn, and the street vendors had just set up their stalls, oil and heat steaming out.
After a while, everyone arrived at a house in a secluded area in the north of the city.
The house is very old, it must have been there for some time, but it can be seen that it is huge and extremely prominent. The two tall stone lions in front of the door are enough to make people intimidated.
There are four words hanging on the plaque at the door of the mansion.
Duke Wei's Mansion.
When Shen Yu saw these four words, his eyes flashed slightly.
Although the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty deliberately downplayed the rights of the nobles in recent years and transferred most of the political and military affairs to the three provinces and six ministries, there are still several nobles who still have a power that cannot be ignored in the Tang Dynasty.
With the death of the other two nobles, Wei Guogong has now become the representative of the nobles.
Shen Yu also heard Su Mo say in a casual chat that this old man has been honest and powerful all his life. He was a famous military commander when he was young, and his martial arts level has reached an unfathomable level.
Thirty years old, from the first rank, general of Zhenxi.
He was even named the God of War by the world.
And such a person whose official position and cultivation reached the point of being unenfessable when he was young. A hundred years later, now he has become the Duke of Wei of the Datang Dynasty, which can only be regarded as a kind of helplessness.
Such a great man with great achievements, who can still stand in the imperial capital after he is a hundred years old and make the emperor turn a blind eye, naturally has his own unique ability.
Shen Yu only had some doubts. What could he do if he came to her?
After a while, Shen Yu finally got the answer.
A young man with a familiar face was leaning at the door, with a playful smile on his face and a very proud look on his face.
Shen Yu asked: "The current surname of Duke Wei is Fang?"
The young man raised his head slightly and said, "It's my grandpa."
Shen Yu nodded and said, "I didn't expect it was you."
The reason why Shen Yu can remember him is because he had a very deep impression in Daozong.
The younger brother of Fang Hen of Qinglu Palace, Fang...
...
...
Shen Yu paused and asked with a hint of apology, "What is your name?"
The young man's face began to look ugly, and after a while he calmly said, "Fang Wen."
A few years have passed, and he is no longer the young boy who didn't know the heights and heights of the world, and who couldn't be happy at will.
Shen Yu said softly, a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the two brothers Fang Hen from the Qinglu Palace would have such a relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Then I thought about it. Did the old man come to me today to settle the score for defeating Fang Hen in front of the Patriarch Palace?
...
In the lobby of the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Yu saw the old man, with gray hair and deep eyes, wearing a wide military uniform.
Shen Yu looked around and found that his aura was ordinary, and he couldn't be said to be calm and intimidating. It was difficult for people to think that he was the kind of person Su Mo described. Just walking casually on the street, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were shocked. The pillar of the country that needs to be shaken up.
The old man sat quietly on the chair in the middle of the lobby
On the bed, with his hands between his knees, he sat upright, but he had a majestic look that could only be seen by practitioners.
Seeing Shen Yu come in, the old man said calmly: "Because I was injured on the battlefield a few years ago, I have a stubborn disease in my legs, which makes it difficult for me to move around. I have offended the immortal master."
The servants of the Duke's Mansion brought a chair from the side and placed it directly opposite the old man.
Shen Yu shook his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, stood quietly, and said, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
From yesterday's words to today's actions, it can't be said to be polite.
Now over a hundred years old, the old man who was famous throughout the Tang Dynasty showed no change in his expression. He even looked like he was chatting, squinting his eyes slightly and seeming to recall: "The Tang Dynasty was weak in those days, with barbarians in the north and barbarians in the south. Every step I took was trembling with fear, but I followed the late emperor in the battles and experienced countless life and death warriors. Every battle was considered a must-win battle and a fatal situation, but there was only one that I still remember freshly. I even feel so intoxicated that I won’t have any regrets even if I die!”
All the servants in the field had retreated, and Fang Wen stood aside, listening with great interest. Grandpa, who was actually very strict in the house, rarely talked about things like these.
Shen Yu waited quietly for the next step.
The old man who was named the God of War by the world said slowly: "It was in a small county in Jiaonan County of the Tang Dynasty today. The story is very simple. When a practitioner entered the city gate, he was met by a guard who asked for a pass. The man felt that his identity was insulted, so he killed him."
The old man put his hands in his arms, straightened up slightly, and continued: "Later, the movement aroused other guards, and naturally there was an argument. Then the practitioner became angry and started killing. Finally, one of them was killed. One, ten came to kill ten, and in the end half of the county was killed, but things got even weirder here."
The old man smiled, but the smile could not be seen, "The practitioner suddenly felt that his affairs had been delayed, and became more and more angry and furious. In the end, he even turned his anger on the people of the small county, feeling that these ants were hindering him. They wanted to follow their own path, so they called a few so-called comrades, and together they killed all the people in the city, no matter women or children, almost no one was spared. In the end, all the people's heads were hung on the city wall."
Fang Wen frowned slightly.
Shen Yu's face was expressionless.
"When the late emperor heard about this incident, he did not judge him. He just took me as his imperial commander to conduct a personal expedition on the next day, from the Tang Dynasty to the hinterland of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. He almost mobilized the entire country and exhausted all the food and salary from the national treasury before he was killed. "
The old man said seriously: "After the incident, the national power of the Tang Dynasty was set back for decades. If it weren't for this incident, the Tang Dynasty would have at least tripled its current prosperity. But this incident...Sure, do you think it's a loss?"
Fang Wen shook his head firmly and said, "It's not a loss even if you die."
The old man smiled slightly, then calmed down and said righteously: "Yes, of course it's not a loss! But it's not because of the enemy, but because one of the purposes of the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China is to let the world live in a reasonable state. Let’s talk about a world where there are laws to follow, heroes cannot violate the forbidden with force, and practitioners cannot bully others with force!”
Shen Yu listened quietly and finally understood what the old man wanted to say.
So he decided not to speak.
There was no Tang Dynasty three thousand years ago, so he didn't understand the thoughts of these countries, but now that he had the opportunity, he wanted to experience it for himself.
"Twelve years ago, regarding the case of the Shen family in Nanhe City and the case of Yunyangguan in Southwest Sunset Town, the explanations you gave to the Dao Sect were recorded in the records, not a single word missing."
The old man said calmly: "Dali has now belonged to Datang, so this case is naturally also a case of Datang."
The old man's eyes were bright and he continued: "Whether it is true or false, all these things prove that you are a ruthless person, just like Dao Zong Xiang Qiong back then, so I think you are an extremely dangerous person in the Tang Dynasty."
Finally getting to the point.
As the old man finished speaking, the air seemed to be pressed down by countless mountains, making one breathless.
Fang Wen's face turned pale and he subconsciously took two steps back.
It was Shen Yu, and his face was a little pale.
This is the so-called power of a martial artist.
Shen Yu's level has now plummeted, and his body cannot bear it, but his eyes are still calm. When he speaks, he still says the same thing: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
The old man looked at Shen Yu and said coldly: "What happened a few years ago is Zhu Yu's, so no matter what your nature is or what your background is, even if the Academy and Dao Sect are protecting you at the same time, if you dare to act without authorization within the Tang Dynasty in the future, If you start to rebel and do the same thing as Xiang Cangqiong, I will kill you on the spot if there is even the slightest hint of it!"
Although the words were soft, they were loud and powerful, like thunder that shook people's hearts.
Shen Yu asked: "Is this a warning?"
The old man said calmly: "Anything is fine."
Fang Wen's face turned pale, and he didn't know whether he was shocked by the words or suppressed by the momentum.
When he returned home from this trip, he talked in a few words about Shen Yu's competition with Fang Hen in Daozong. Many of them had the implication of relying on his grandfather's power to oppress others. So when he learned that his grandfather took the initiative to invite Shen Yu, he even Such a small satisfaction.
But now...this thought is completely gone.
No matter how powerful his grandfather was, how could he resist the two Holy Lands on his own?
Fang Wen's face was a little unnatural, and he smiled and said: "Well, my grandpa is old and his brain is a little unclear."
"roll."
Shen Yu and Fang Guogong said at the same time.
Fang Wen remained silent, bowed his head and left the yard silently.
