Chapter 132: I won’t let you be a man!
Seeing that Xiao Dezi began to hesitate, Gu Mian continued, "If my grandfather brings people to the Zhenguo Mansion to capture Jingyao again, do you think the emperor will agree to exchange your life for Jingyao's?"
Xiao Dezi shuddered nervously. He knew exactly what kind of person Emperor Liang was! Not to mention sacrificing his own life, even if it meant throwing him to the Gu family, Emperor Liang would be willing!
Because Emperor Liang really wanted Liang Jingyao to die. If Liang Jingyao died, Prince Rong, who was far away in the north, would come to kill him, which would give Emperor Liang a reason to suppress the rebels!
Thinking of this, Xiao Dezi waved his hand and ordered, "Let go! Old Master Gu, today was a misunderstanding! I will bring your words to the emperor, and I will treat you to tea another day!"
Gu Hao could tell that Xiao Dezi was trying to apologize, but Liang Jingyao had already gone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the plan could not be changed, so he nodded perfunctorily and said, "Okay, thank you, Eunuch De!"
Xiao Dezi didn't care whether Gu Hao was polite or not. After all, after today's looting, he would have enough space to build another warehouse to hide his treasures!
"Everyone follow me!"
Gu Hao ran over distressedly, helped his grandson up, and said sadly: "Silly child, why are you doing this! Don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Gu Mian's mouth was bruised, and he was drooling as he spoke. He mumbled, "It's okay. If I hadn't angered Eunuch De like this, you would have been beaten. Grandfather, you're old, I can't let you suffer this! I'm young, and even if I get hurt, I'll heal quickly!"
Gu Hao sighed and helped Gu Mian back to the study. "Good boy, don't do this again next time! You are the hope of the Gu family, and nothing can happen to you!"
Before reaching the study, Gu Mian stopped. He took Gu Hao's hand and whispered, "There's no time to treat the wound. There's a doctor at Jingyao's place. I'll go meet him first. Grandfather, you can stay home and rest assured. If anyone asks, just say that Eunuch De beat me up and I can't go out. Today's incident was such a big deal, no one will suspect anything!"
Gu Hao searched his body and took out a dagger, placed it in Gu Mian's hand, and warned him, "Be careful, don't be impulsive again!"
Gu Mian hid the dagger in his sleeve and nodded in response, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely!"
Having said that, Gu Mian left without looking back.
On the other side, Liang Jingyao came to the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo. Because the Duke of Zhenguo's property was confiscated and Emperor Liang did not immediately give it to someone else, it has now become an abandoned empty house. Tables, chairs and benches that have fallen to the ground can be seen everywhere, as well as torn curtains, spiders weaving webs everywhere, and occasionally the squeaking sound of mice can be heard. It is hard to imagine how glorious this place once was!
Finally, Liang Jingyao sat in the study of the Duke of Zhenguo, quietly waiting for Xiao Dezi's arrival!
Without waiting too long, Xiao Dezi, who was eager to make a contribution, did not return to the palace to report to Emperor Liang in advance. He directly tore off the seal of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and brought people in hurriedly.
The noise was so loud that even Liang Jingyao in the study heard it, but Liang Jingyao did not go out. He casually flipped through the book on the table, as if he didn't know what was happening outside?
Suddenly, the door of the study was kicked open, and Xiao Dezi pointed at Liang Jingyao and shouted, "Someone! Arrest the fugitive!"
Liang Jingyao looked up at Xiao Dezi, who was looking up at him, and threw the book in his hand at him. "Fugitive? You're just a eunuch. Who gave you the courage to order food from the royal family? I think you don't want to keep your hands to yourself anymore!"
Xiao Dezi knew that Liang Jingyao was an excellent martial artist. He was able to go to the battlefield and return victorious at such a young age. Let alone taking one of his hands, it would be easy for Liang Jingyao to take his life!
He hid behind the Imperial Guards in fear and tried his best to push them forward. As long as he could make merit today, Emperor Liang would confer upon him the title of Nine Thousand Years Old. This was what Emperor Liang had promised him before leaving the palace!
So no matter what, no matter what the cost, I must capture Liang Jingyao!
"Everyone, come at me! If you fail to capture the fugitive, you will be executed by Emperor Liang!"
The originally lax hearts of the Imperial Guards suddenly became tense. Those who could become the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Palace were all sons of officials and noble families in the capital. They came to the palace to gild their reputations and make more friends to facilitate the future development of their families. Therefore, if they were executed, it would mean that the family had trained a person in vain. Not only that, their own family members would not be able to hold their heads up in the family!
Therefore, every imperial guard had their eyes blazing, and drew their swords as they rushed to catch Liang Jingyao, "Where are you running? Surrender!"
"Waste! When did the palace start to breed termites?" Liang Jingyao didn't need to exert much effort, and knocked down several of them with his bare hands. Then he grabbed Xiao Dezi's arm ring and heard a "click". Xiao Dezi's arm was broken!
But because Liang Jingyao's mind was on Xiao Dezi, and he deliberately let him win, he was immediately caught by the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guards knew Liang Jingyao and had even heard of his battle record back then, so the moment they captured Liang Jingyao, these people were so excited that they wanted to announce it to the world!
Liang Jingyao felt annoyed just looking at these idiots. If it weren't for the purpose of provoking conflict between the Duke of Zhenguo and Emperor Liang, he would have wanted to kill these parasites!
The piercing pain made Xiao Dezi's face completely distorted. He covered his arm and walked in front of Liang Jingyao, then kicked Liang Jingyao in the crotch. "Hmph, I call you a eunuch. I will make sure you can never be a man again!"
Liang Jingyao originally just wanted to teach Xiao Dezi a lesson, but he didn't expect that this person would not repent!
He directly kicked away Xiao Dezi's kicking leg and shouted, "You're looking for death!"
The Imperial Guards were pushed hard by Liang Jingyao and all fell to the ground. A few brave ones went up to stop Liang Jingyao, but none of them were his match.
Xiao Dezi was scared and wanted to find a place to hide, but Liang Jingyao kicked him to the ground again.
Liang Jingyao stepped on Xiao Dezi's leg, and with a force, Xiao Dezi's leg bone broke directly. "Xiao Dezi, have you forgotten your identity? In this world, no one can kill me except the emperor, but if I kill you, even the emperor won't frown? Do you know why? Because you are a useless eunuch!"
Xiao Dezi was in pain and scared, and kept moving his body backwards. "I, I was wrong! I'm sorry! I won't dare to do it again!"
Liang Jingyao sneered and fiercely pinched Xiao Dezi's neck, "Do you think I will believe it? I tell you, I only believe in the dead!"
There was a loud "click" in the study, and Xiao Dezi was completely dead.
Liang Jingyao stood up and said to the people behind him, "Why don't you arrest me? Are you scared?"
The Imperial Guards didn't dare to step forward to arrest anyone. They hid in the corners and trembled, "Let us go! We won't arrest you!"
Liang Jingyao was so fed up with these wimps that he was ready to kick them to death. "Does Emperor Liang have no one he can rely on? You wimps are a disgrace to our Dongsui Nation!"
Suddenly, a sharp sword pierced through the window. If Liang Jingyao had not dodged in time, he would have been pierced through the heart and died!
Liang Jingyao glanced at the sharp sword on the ground that was glowing green, and shouted, "Who is it? What's the point of hiding in the dark?"
