"Who is King Jingyang? Her Majesty the Empress invited us from the Nether Clan to come to the capital. Is this the way she treats guests?"
The nobleman of the Underworld had a gloomy face and shouted loudly at the crowd of people watching.
"Is this the way Dajing treats guests? We surrender to Dajing in order to enhance Dajing's national power. Can a random prince step on our entire Nether Clan?"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"We need justice. Although the Nether Clan has taken refuge in Dajing, they are by no means slaves of Dajing, but friends of Dajing!"
The clan elders are not here, and several young Nether Clan nobles are trying to launch a public opinion offensive. In their opinion, although the King Jingyang who just left is powerful, his importance is definitely not as important as that of the entire Nether Clan!
There was a hidden and relieved smile on their faces, what about the prince? The entire Dajing and other Nether Clan were only afraid of the empress and the two enshrined in Tianji Pavilion. The other princes, who had never heard of anything, didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, the Nether Clan has been subdued, but Tianji Pavilion serves the orders of the Lord and the Empress. If a mere prince dares to offend the Nether Clan, he will offend those two people.
There were also a lot of discussions among the people watching.
In addition, knowing that the half-human and half-demon guy who had just been taken away was King Jingyang, I was jealous and envious, and I suddenly felt that these people from the Nether Clan seemed to have some truth!
"That's right. These Nether Clan people are just dealing with internal affairs. Isn't it inappropriate for King Jingyang to directly intervene?"
"What ability does this pretty boy have? Isn't he just relying on the merits given by His Majesty to the imperial envoy last time, and is he proud of his favor?"
"Before, the people of Xuantiansi also attributed the credit of judging criminals to him, and they didn't think about who they could deceive in this way? He is just a pretty boy, does he know what trial is? He just picked the fruits of Xantiansi directly .”
"When this kind of person is not in power, he is just a pretty face. After he becomes powerful, he becomes an arrogant and domineering prince. He also cares about other people's internal affairs of the Nether Clan? What if the Nether Clan people get angry and go to Dajing? What should they do? Without thinking, it’s useless waste!”
"Shh, just talk behind your back, don't let His Majesty's people hear..."
…
Hearing the discussions of the people, the nobles of the Nether Clan smiled with satisfaction. They believed that even if Empress Dajing knew about the current situation, she would punish King Jingyang!
The Nether Tribe nobleman who was trampled to the ground by Gu Lan showed a sneer, and said to himself: "Fight with me, why don't you show what you are capable of? Even if you have some small tricks, so what? I am not as good as you in terms of status and background. ...can’t kill you!?”
However, Wei Zhi still stared coldly at all the Nether Clan members without saying a word.
At the same time, he turned around and glanced at the surrounding people with his cold and piercing eyes.
The people of Dajing who came into contact with his gaze were all startled by the biting cold, and then lowered their heads, not daring to comment any further.
For a moment, the scene calmed down.
Many people among the people knew Wei Zhi. After all, Wei Zhi often patrolled the capital and dealt with many disputes, so he was quite prestigious among the people.
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.
To them, King Jingyang was just a pretty boy, and it didn't matter if he secretly bitched sourly, but they didn't dare to offend someone like Wei Zhi who could directly control them.
But only Wei Zhi knew that Gu Lan was really capable. Not only did the flower picker before the interrogation not pick the fruits of Xuan Tiansi, but he actually helped Xuan Tiansi a lot!
He didn't explain this kind of thing to these people.
Moreover, truly ignorant people often only see what they want to see, and explaining it to them makes no sense, which is no different from playing the harp to a cow.
"What do you mean, sir? Do you think that the status of our entire Nether Clan is inferior to that of one of your princes in Dajing?"
The Nether Clan nobles calmed down after seeing the scene, stared at Wei Zhi and said.
"I, Wei Zhi, have come with the order to settle the Nether Clan. You all come with me!" Wei Zhi had disdain on his face and did not answer the question.
He turned around and walked towards the city, but the faces of the nobles of the Underworld were extremely ugly, and no one was willing to follow him.
Wei Zhi paused: "The Nether Clan were subdued by the Empress and submitted to Dajing, not Dajing who begged you to come. Don't be shameless!"
The faces of the people from the Nether Clan became even more ugly, but they also knew that this was a fact.
They, the Nether Clan, are not as powerful as they say. They want to be Dajing's friends, but this also depends on the attitude of Empress Dajing...
King Jingyang just now had to say something back because of his face, but for an important court official like Wei Zhi, of course it is better to be more honest!
Sometimes it's hard to say whether he is a friend or a slave. It all depends on the attitude of Empress Dajing... and the enshrined master of Tianji Pavilion.
For a moment, the nobles of the Nether Clan did not dare to make a mistake and followed Wei Zhi silently. Their faces were extremely gloomy, but they did not dare to continue the attack.
Wei Zhi took the nobles of the Nether Clan to find the headquarters of the Nether Clan. After informing them of their intention, he took them to the camp that His Majesty had arranged before.
There wasn’t much embarrassment during this period.
At most, you can just ride a horse yourself and let them walk around the capital a few more times...
And the other side.
Gu Lan didn't know what happened after he left. There was no need to take these people to heart. His wife would handle it afterwards.
now.
Gu Lan had already brought Zheliang back to Dongzhi Street. He first used a few healing pills left by the previous master of Tianji Pavilion, and soon healed all the old and new injuries on Zheliang's body, even his body. Everything is getting better.
After all, it is a top-quality elixir that the master of Tianji Pavilion personally refined, and the effect is very remarkable.
Oriliang's eyes were full of gratitude. Although he had become accustomed to it over the years, he felt that his physical condition was better than ever before. This feeling was unprecedented.
Moreover, he has always been treated as a waste in the Nether Clan. It is common for him to be ridiculed, ignored, and trampled on his dignity. Only Gu Lan was the first to care about him and give him such a powerful elixir.
"Thank you, Lord Jingyang, for saving me!"
Oriliang was smart enough to kneel down on the ground and kowtow heavily.
Not to mention these pills, if King Jingyang hadn't taken action today, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to survive in the hands of his own clansmen.
If someone breaks his legs and throws him out, it is basically impossible to survive.
"But Zheliang may not be able to repay King Jingyang's great kindness, but I can't afford the cost of these elixirs..." His words gradually became lonely. No matter how proud Zheliang is, he still knows these elixirs. The price is definitely high, and I am just a waste, how can I possibly repay it.
Gu Lan carefully looked at Zheliang, who was still kneeling, and after a long time, he said softly: "Why do you think I rescued you? And gave you some elixirs to treat you?"
Oriliang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head with a puzzled face: "I don't know."
He didn't know why the descendant of a human and a monster who was despised by everyone, and who was ridiculed and bullied by his tribe, could be valued by the prince of Dajing and be saved!
Oriliang was very grateful.
But he couldn't understand this inexplicable kindness, and it felt unreal!
Gu Lan nodded. He asked this question not because he wanted to get an answer from Zheliang, but continued to explain with a smile:
"That's because, only I know that you are not a waste, but a... genius!"
