Chapter 187 Trial
Soon after returning to the city, the Prince of Dongping was awakened.
His eyes were blank at first, and when he saw the surrounding environment, he murmured, "Did I just have a nightmare?"
The old man next to him turned pale when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you are not dreaming, this is all real.
We have fled back to the city. What should we do now? Your Majesty, you have to make the decision.
Prince Dongping's face changed drastically, "What?" He then felt some pain in his neck, apparently he was knocked unconscious.
The man who knocked him out shrank his neck and dared not show his head.
The Prince of Dongping had no intention of punishing this daring subordinate, and hurriedly asked, "Have they entered the city?"
At this moment, a soldier with a pale face ran in and said, "My Lord, this is bad. The enemy has entered the city and we can't stop them at all."
Everyone's face changed, and the old man hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, run away. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."
The Prince of Dongping gave a bitter smile and said, "Where can I run to? It is God's will that I die."
The old man was at a loss now. The Jinyiwei were too strong.
"Prince Dongping, you'd better come out on your own." Lu Feng's roar came from outside.
Everyone was startled and looked at the Prince of Dongping.
The Prince of Dongping took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. It's me who has been defeated. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." Then he stood up and walked outside.
The others looked dejected and looked at the old man.
The old man sighed.
"Oh, the palace must be surrounded. Let's go." He shook his head and followed the Prince of Dongping.
Outside the gate, Lu Feng and the Jinyiwei surrounded the palace. Everyone looked as if they had been soaked in blood.
The soldiers in the palace looked at them tremblingly, and even couldn't hold their weapons steadily.
Lu Feng ignored the soldiers and stared at the gate of the palace.
The gate of the palace opened, and the Prince of Dongping came out with his men.
His face was still pale. He looked at Lu Feng and the others outside. His pupils shrank. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face.
Only when you get close to them can you see how terrifying these people are.
"Lord Lu, you win." Prince Dongping said slowly.
Lu Feng looked at the Prince of Dongping and said, "Your Highness, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" There was some regret in his tone.
Prince Dongping smiled coldly, "Haha, if Your Majesty hadn't touched those nobles, I wouldn't have come to this point."
Lu Feng's eyes flickered. He didn't understand why Jia Hu wanted to confiscate the property and exterminate the clans of those nobles.
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. Lord Lu, you should also be careful.
Haha, I want to see how the people of Daren can resist foreign invaders without us nobles." The Prince of Dongping laughed.
"Puff" a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and then he fell to the ground.
"Your Highness." The others were panicked.
"Your Highness, the road to the underworld is lonely. Let's go together." The old man smiled sadly, black blood flowed from his mouth, and he fell to the ground. The two of them had already drunk poison.
"Mr. Bai." The others became even more panicked.
Lu Feng looked at the two bodies on the ground with complicated eyes, and suddenly said coldly, "No one in the Prince of Dongping's mansion will be left alive."
"Ah don't kill me, I surrender."
"Please spare my life..I don't want to die."
Those people begged for mercy in a panic, but it was useless. The Jinyiwei had already rushed over and rushed directly into the palace.
Lu Feng did not go in, but still stood outside the door, and said quietly, "I believe that Duke Ningguo would not kill people for no reason."
The fate of the Prince of Xining was similar. Liu Tan took action at about the same time as Lu Feng, and both sides completed their tasks almost at the same time.
Only Wu Neng did not take action, because the Prince of Nan'an was fighting with the Kingdom of Qianxiang and the outcome could not be determined for a while, so he could only wait.
In the capital, Lin Daiyu read the news in her hand and looked at Jia Hu in surprise: "Third brother, what a quick move! Two princes died just like that?"
Jia Hu smiled and said, "What else?"
"How did you do it? When did the Jinyiwei become so powerful?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just improved their strength and gave them a poisonous insect." Jia Hu said indifferently.
Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up.
"So that's how it is, third brother, your poisonous insect is not ordinary." As he said this, he touched the little white on his wrist.
Jia Hu saw her movements and his eyes flashed, "Sister Lin, your Xiaobai's strength is a little weak, let me improve them."
Lin Daiyu was delighted and said, "Okay."
"Swoosh" a white shadow flashed, and Xiaobai fell into Jia Hu's hands.
Jia Hu nodded and said, "Then I'll take it first and give it to you later."
Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded, "Thank you for troubling my third brother."
Jia Hu waved his hand and his figure slowly disappeared.
Miaoyu, who was standing next to him, looked at Jia Hu's disappearing back, with a strange look in her eyes. "I wonder how this guy could have such a talent?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Maybe he had it before, but he just didn't show it. After all, he is a Buddhist monk, how could he use these methods?"
Miaoyu nodded slightly, but she didn't feel that way.
Because Jia Hu's changes are so great, even if the seal is lifted, he should still have a favorable impression of Buddhism.
Now it seemed as if they had become mortal enemies. She looked at Lin Daiyu worriedly, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Jiulong Mountain, Jia Hu's figure appeared in front of the deep pit.
The dark pit was silent. "Do me a favor and make these two snakes stronger."
There was no response from the pit, and Jia Hu was not in a hurry. Suddenly, a dragon roar was heard from inside.
Jia Hu smiled slightly and raised his hand.
Two little snakes, one green and one white, looked at the pit with fear. "Go, it won't hurt you. Improve your strength." The two snakes looked at Jia Hu. The little white snake flicked its tail and shot into the pit. The little green snake rubbed Jia Hu's fingers and shot out as well.
Jia Hu smiled slightly and his figure slowly disappeared.
A white dragon head emerged, with two small snakes entwined on the dragon's horns. The dragon's eyes flickered, and it slowly retracted the dragon's head.
Jia Hu did not go back to Ningguo Mansion directly, but walked in from the city gate. Looking at the bustling streets, he always felt out of place.
He looked at everything around him indifferently, and walked slowly.
The people seemed not to see Jia Hu, but they avoided him involuntarily.
Jia Hu always felt that this world was somewhat unreal, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
He wondered in his heart, could it be because he had no heart for the world?
Just like that, he walked to Ningrong Street and immediately frowned. At this time, Ningguo Street was very lively with many carriages parked there.
Li Liang was sweating profusely and waving his hands while talking to a group of people in Confucian robes.
Jia Hu likes quietness, so this scene certainly makes him unhappy, and a cold light flashes in his eyes.
"Li Liang, what's going on?" Li Liang was wiping the sweat off his forehead when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw "Third Master..."
Those who were harassing Li Liang also stopped and looked at Jia Hu curiously.
Suddenly someone shouted in surprise, "He is the Duke of Ningguo."
"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar, and then all of them saluted Jia Hu with red faces.
"Greetings to Duke Ningguo."
"Duke Ningguo, I have great respect for you and would like to pay you a visit. This small token of my respect is not enough."
"Congratulations to Duke Ning for becoming the chief examiner. This is a gift from the students."
"Duke Ningguo is young and accomplished, he is truly a role model for our generation, and I admire him."
Li Liang looked at Jia Hu with a smile on his face, "Third Master, they are all here to give gifts, please see..."
Jia Hu turned to look at these people, his face cold, and said in a cold voice, "Three breaths of time, if you don't get out, you will die."
"Ah!" Those people were stunned.
Those who knew Jia Hu's nickname of the God of Killing showed fear on their faces and began to retreat, planning to leave first.
But there are always people who don't believe in evil. A young man dressed in rich clothes said, "Duke Ningguo, we have no ill intentions, we just want to see you."
Jia Hu's right hand suddenly moved and slapped him in the face.
"Bang" his head exploded like a watermelon, "Time's up."
"Ah, someone is murdering someone!" The others were almost frightened to death when they saw this scene. They hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and anxiously urged the coachman to go faster.
Many of them even didn't dare to get on the carriage and just ran away with pale faces. They were so cruel, no wonder they were called gods of death.
In a blink of an eye, the place became empty except for a headless corpse.
Jia Hu looked at Li Liang and said calmly
"Why waste time talking to them? Just kill them. Clean them up." After saying that, he walked into Ningguo Mansion.
Li Liang smiled bitterly. He should have thought of this earlier.
This man didn't have such good patience. He looked at the body on the ground with pity and said, "Alas, you are so unlucky."
Jia Hu's bad reputation spread like wildfire among the scholars, and no one dared to come to Ningguo Mansion anymore.
But this also caused dissatisfaction among many scholars, who felt that Jia Hu was a butcher and inhuman.
However, this had no effect on Jia Hu.
On this day, the day of the imperial examination arrived, and the gates of the Imperial Examination Hall were wide open.
Jia Hu stood on the high platform, with Lin Ruhai and several other deputy examiners beside him.
Lin Ruhai had a calm expression, while the others had flickering eyes and glanced at Jia Hu in surprise and doubt.
Below were a large number of candidates. They were extremely quiet at this moment and looked at Jia Hu with some fear, because this man was a god of death.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. This was probably the quietest session, as it used to be bustling with people here.
Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly, "Ahem, Mr. Examiner, it's your turn to lecture me."
Jia Hu nodded, stood up, and looked at the candidates below. He glanced and saw Jia Huan in the crowd.
Jia Huan also saw Jia Hu looking at him, and nodded at him quickly.
Jia Hu looked away and said in a cold voice
“After entering the Imperial Examination Hall, anyone who cheats will die.” After he said this, a hint of murderous intent emanated from his body.
"Ah, don't kill me."
"I didn't cheat, don't kill me."
"I don't want to die, spare my life"
In an instant, many candidates collapsed to the ground, their faces filled with fear and pale.
What’s worse, some people’s crotches were wet and they peed themselves out of fear.
The people standing were not in much better condition, their bodies were shaking and they looked at Jia Hu in horror.
Jia Hu retracted his murderous intent, pointed at the person on the ground, and said coldly
"It's not too late for you to take it out now. If you enter the Imperial Examination Hall, you won't have to come out."
