Chapter 34 Sharp Clash
At the entrance of the Duke of Yi's mansion.
Qin Shandao, covered in wounds, knelt at the gate.
The people pointed and whispered about him, not understanding why.
Choi Shin-ki and Bang Ye-ae maintained security.
Anyone who dares to cross the line will be given a beating.
You disagree?
I'll beat you until you submit.
The title of "the tyrant of Chang'an" is not just for show.
In addition, a group of little guys are people who are afraid of chaos. They like fighting and beating people the most.
"You unfilial son, what are you doing kneeling at the door?"
Qin Qiong, dressed in a long black robe, stepped out of the gate first, followed closely by several concubines and children.
When he saw Qin Shandao covered in wounds, he couldn't help but frown.
"Shan'er."
Qin Shandao's mother rushed out the door and hurriedly stroked her son's cheek.
"Father, Shan Dao begs you to establish a legitimate heir!" Qin Shan Dao broke free and kowtowed to the ground along with Qin Qiong.
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Not only were the onlookers stunned, but even Qin Qiong's family was dumbfounded.
Establishing a legitimate heir.
It was something they all dreamed of.
But who would dare to bring this up in public?
It is a fact that Qin Qiong abandoned his wife and children!
To say something like this in front of Qin Qiong is tantamount to reopening Qin Qiong's wounds.
"Who taught you to say these things?"
Qin Qiong's sharp gaze swept across the room and landed directly on Wei Shuyu.
Of all the people present, only Wei Shuyu dared to look him in the eye.
As for Choi Shin-ki and Fang Yi-ai, they've long since shrunk to the side, playing the ostrich.
"This humble one, Wei Shuyu, greets Uncle Qin."
Wei Shuyu remained neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed in unison with Qin Qiong.
The God of War of the Tang Dynasty deserves his respect.
"Did you instigate Shandao to say these things?"
Qin Qiong's cold gaze was fixed on Wei Shuyu, and the invisible pressure made everyone hold their breath.
"Exactly!"
To everyone's surprise, Wei Shuyu readily admitted it.
"You have courage, just like your father," Qin Qiong praised.
Wei Zheng's outspoken nature was well-known throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Shuyu showed no stage fright in front of him and spoke frankly as always, which made him look at him with new respect.
"However, when did it become your place to interfere in my family affairs?"
Qin Qiong's eyebrows furrowed, and his sharp shout was like a thunderclap, making everyone's hearts pound.
"I have no right to interfere in the Qin family's affairs."
Wei Shuyu replied truthfully, "But just now, I accepted the offer of kindness!"
What do you mean?
Qin Qiong's voice carried a hint of anger, because he seemed to have guessed something, yet dared not believe it.
"That means I will be the one to teach you the Way from now on!" Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked directly at Qin Qiong.
"Don't think that just because you're Wei Zheng's son, I won't dare to deal with you!" Qin Qiong was furious to the extreme.
If an eleven-year-old kid were to become the teacher of a seven-year-old, wouldn't Qin Qiong be laughed to death?
“I know Uncle Qin doesn’t believe me, so…”
Wei Shuyu took a step forward, his intense fighting spirit surging forth. He looked at Qin Qiong with fervor and said, "This humble one dares to ask Uncle Qin for guidance!"
The God of War of the Tang Dynasty was his idol.
He was eager to fight him!
Qin Qiong is currently ill and not at his peak, but Wei Shuyu is also not at his peak.
With one old and one young, neither has much of an advantage.
"You're challenging me?"
Qin Qiong was completely dumbfounded.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that Wei Shuyu would actually challenge him.
"Boy, are you crazy? You dare to challenge even the Duke of Yi?"
"General Qin is a veteran of countless battles, a war god of the Tang Dynasty. You, a mere brat, do you even deserve to be called his equal?"
"These days, kids are all getting on bad terms and just daydreaming."
As soon as Wei Shuyu finished speaking, he was met with ridicule from the crowd, who began to mock him.
"Never mind, you can go."
Qin Qiong waved his hand, quite disappointed in Wei Shuyu.
If the other party is the son of a military general, he might even offer some guidance.
But Wei Shuyu was the son of a civil official, yet he dared to challenge him. What was this if not wishful thinking?
"I may leave, but please answer Shandao's question, Uncle Qin: is this legitimate son worthy of being established?" Wei Shuyu pressed again.
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
"And Shandao, is this how you collude with outsiders to question Father?"
When the matter was brought up again, Qin Qiong's patience had reached its limit.
"Shan'er, hurry up and apologize to your father," Qin Shandao's mother urged.
Qin Shandao remained silent, still kneeling on the ground.
"I wouldn't dare. I only hope the general will thwart the ulterior motives of certain individuals..."
As the saying goes, "Cultivate oneself, regulate one's family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world!"
"Only when our families are safe and sound can we better serve our country!"
Wei Shuyu appealed again in a loud voice.
His words won the approval of many people.
In fact, the common people were also curious as to why Qin Qiong had been so slow to establish a legitimate son.
"Okay, then I'll answer you now..."
Qin Qiong nodded, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room before he said, "The legitimate son of my Duke Yi's mansion will never be Qin Shandao!"
Whoosh...
Everyone was shocked.
Choi Shin-ki and Bang Yi-ae were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
The eldest brother's actions were swift and decisive; he managed to disqualify Qin Shandao from inheriting the throne.
"Are you satisfied with this result?" Qin Qiong asked with a cold smile.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Uncle Qin."
Turning his head, Wei Shuyu looked at Qin Qiong's family: "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Jia was startled, her eyes darting around as if her secret had been exposed.
Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes, and considering the injuries on Qin Shandao's body, he seemed to understand something.
"Do you have anything else to do now?" Qin Qiong asked impatiently.
If Wei Shuyu hadn't been Wei Zheng's son, he would have ordered him thrown out long ago.
"It comes down to the same thing. From now on, I will be responsible for teaching Shandao. I humbly request Uncle Qin's permission," Wei Shuyu said politely.
"Don't push your luck!" Qin Qiong's face darkened.
"Uncle Qin, you misunderstand. I'm not asking for your permission again, but I'm afraid you'll make things difficult for Shandao later."
Wei Shuyu suddenly laughed: "Whether you agree or not, I'm determined to teach you this path of virtue."
"court death!"
Qin Qiong's expression hardened, and he stepped down the stairs, arriving in front of Wei Shuyu.
"Uncle Qin, don't get agitated. Shan Dao is quite skilled in martial arts, yet you've assigned him to the Imperial Academy. Isn't that just leaving him to fend for himself?"
"Since that's the case, why not let me have a go?"
Wei Shuyu's words were barbed.
He was furious that such a promising talent as Qin Shandao had been brought to the Imperial Academy and wasted.
Although Qin Qiong was his idol, he didn't tolerate the other man's senile behavior.
"Are you accusing me?" Qin Qiong's expression grew increasingly grim.
"I wouldn't dare." Wei Shuyu bowed slightly. "I've long heard that Uncle Qin is a man of his word. Does he really want his son to be a man of broken promises?"
"Shandao agreed to your request?" Qin Qiong looked at Qin Shandao kneeling on the ground.
“Of course.” Wei Shuyu nodded. “Otherwise, why would I have bothered to come all this way in person?”
"That's great!"
Qin Qiong withdrew his gaze and looked at Wei Shuyu again: "You just said you wanted to give me some pointers?"
"Then I will grant your request. As long as you can last ten rounds against me, I will not pursue the matter of the Good Way any further!"
Qin Qiong also lost his temper.
Wei Shuyu not only repeatedly provoked him, but also took his young son as his apprentice.
He simply couldn't swallow this insult.
Today, let's not say that Wei Shuyu was Wei Zheng's son.
Even Li Shimin's son, Li Chengqian, would be thoroughly punished by him.
