Volume 1, Chapter 45: Make me kneel, are you worthy?
In the capital, on the official road.
Bai Qi rode on a big black bear, attracting the attention of people around him.
At this moment, the big black bear looked particularly miserable. It was hit by Bai Qi's punch again and again. Its face was covered with bruises and its mouth was covered in blood.
"I let you attack me!"
"Miao'er is not here this time, let's see who can protect you!"
Bai Qi's heart was filled with murderous intent.
I almost capsized in the ditch. Who would have thought that a bear could be so insidious? I might as well raise a husky!
roar!
The big black bear let out a miserable roar, then lowered its head in obedience.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the mount loyalty has increased by 10% and currently reaches 30%! Please keep up the good work, host! 】
Damn it!
That works too.
Bai Qi was furious.
"You really deserve a beating!"
"I enlightened you and elevated you into a spirit beast, but instead of being grateful, you attacked me after you gained power. You are truly a beast!"
"And the harder I beat you, the more docile you become. I like your bear-like temper!"
As he said that, Bai Qi drew out his Fang Tian Hua Ji and stabbed it hard into the black bear's back.
The cold, deadly breath instantly alerted the big black bear.
It lay on the ground devoutly, looking at Bai Qi pitifully.
In Bai Qi's mind, the system's voice filled the screen!
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the mount loyalty has increased by 10% and currently reaches 40%! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the mount loyalty has increased by 10% and currently reaches 50%! 】
....
[Ding, congratulations to the host, the mount loyalty has increased by 10% and now reaches 100%! 】
"You are such a bitch!" Bai Qi cursed.
The big black bear nodded repeatedly and said, "I can't beat you anyway, so whatever you say goes!"
Bai Qi felt that he should treat this beast like a beast, and that cultivating feelings for it was nonsense.
Only by dominating its life and death can you gain absolute loyalty!
After completely recapturing the Big Black Bear, Bai Qi accelerated his journey to Beijing.
Before entering the capital, he put the big black bear and the Fang Tian Huaji directly into his personal space. This 12 cubic meters of space could accommodate a large bed.
Then he just bought a horse for transportation. After all, he didn't want to reveal the fact that he owned a spiritual beast.
As soon as Bai Qi arrived at the south gate of the capital, the imperial guards came to lead the way, "General Bai Qi, His Majesty orders you to come to the palace and see the emperor immediately!"
Bai Qi followed the Imperial Guards and rushed all the way to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, Bai Qi was taken to a side hall by the Imperial Guards and asked to take off all his clothes for a search.
The Imperial Guards confirmed again and again that there were no sharp weapons hidden on Bai Qi's body, in his hair, or in his clothes, and only then did they report to their superiors.
"Announce Baiqi to enter the palace!"
The chief eunuch's shrill voice rang out.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou and his civil and military officials all looked at him with sidelong glances.
All I saw was a young man with a resolute face taking a step forward. He held his head high and his chest puffed out, neither humble nor arrogant. He showed no fear or timidity, and there was no flattery in his eyes.
"What a brave and extraordinary young man!"
Behind the screen, a strange light flashed in Princess Anyang's eyes. At this moment, she was like a girl looking at her fiancé, appreciating Bai Qi from head to toe.
Bai Qi also glanced at the Emperor of Zhou with a calm gaze.
The chief eunuch saw Bai Qi looking at the emperor of the Great Zhou impudently, and immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you! You don't even show respect when you see His Majesty?"
Bai Qi then retracted his gaze, clasped his fists in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, stood straight, and said in a voice as loud as a bell: "General Bai Qi, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"presumptuous!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites immediately stepped out and shouted at Bai Qi: "Why don't you kneel before the emperor?"
“This is disrespectful!”
“Kneel down!”
The censors came out one after another, spitting on Bai Qi's face.
Even the generals in the military ranks frowned.
The first time he met the emperor, he dared not kneel!
How arrogant is this?
Princess Anyang also opened her mouth slightly, obviously not expecting that Bai Qi would do this?
Just when Princess Anyang thought that Bai Qi would kneel down and kowtow, and then ask for punishment, she heard Bai Qi burst into laughter:
"Let me kneel? Is the emperor worthy of this?"
In one sentence, it was like a bolt from the blue!
boom--
Everyone's head was buzzing from the shock.
The people in the Ministry of Rites were dumbfounded!
The censors were dumbfounded!
The generals were stunned!
Even Princess Anyang opened her red lips wide, and was shocked.
She thought that Bai Qi might be harboring resentment, that he was arrogant and overbearing, and that this man who dared to chop up the imperial edict was not an ordinary person.
But you, a general, dare to humiliate the emperor in the court. How crazy!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was so angry that his face turned pale and he almost couldn't breathe.
"Take him and kill him!"
The eunuch felt that his master had suffered unprecedented humiliation.
Even though the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty often did nothing, even the eight dukes and four princes who held real power in the Great Zhou Dynasty did not dare to speak to the Emperor in this way.
With a loud noise, the Jinwu Guards in front of the hall rushed in with weapons in hand.
They were all filled with murderous intent and wanted to kill Bai Qi on the spot.
Bai Qi's eyes gradually turned cold as he faced these people, and he roared, "Whoever dares to touch me will have his blood splattered five feet high!"
As he said this, he stepped on the ground hard, and with a crackling sound, the gold bricks on the ground broke into pieces.
This frightened the Jinwu Guards so much that in the past, when they arrested people in the hall, those officials could only cry bitterly and kneel down to beg for mercy.
Who has ever seen such an arrogant and domineering person?
The Great Zhou Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. He jumped up from his chair, pointed at Bai Qi, and cursed:
"It's a pity that I value you so much that I promoted you from a criminal to a general, and promoted you by more than 10 ranks in just a few months."
"You repay kindness with hatred and don't take me seriously!"
"Duke Qin, Yang Wudi kept recommending you, but who knew you would be such a disloyal and unfilial person!"
"I treated you like this, is this how you repay me?"
The surrounding censors also came out to criticize:
"Too outrageous, too shameless!"
"How dare you say that the king is not worthy of him kneeling down and paying homage to him."
"In the 852 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has there ever been such a person?"
"This is the traitor!"
For a time, all the ministers criticized Bai Qi.
Princess Anyang covered her red lips. She felt that the imperial censors she had arranged were simply child's play in dealing with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi could create such a big fuss by himself, but she didn’t know how Bai Qi would end it?
If it were anyone else, Princess Anyang believed that they would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy.
But at this moment, Bai Qi stood like a green pine, looking down upon the world, and snorted disdainfully:
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!"
"My military position was not bestowed upon me by you, but was earned by myself!"
"I, Bai Qi, defended the country's territory and borders, fought against the Xiongnu, and protected your Great Zhou. It is only natural that you grant me a military position!"
"If I get up in vain without any achievements, can you, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, let me level up 10 times?"
"I, Bai Qi, am worthy of my position and the millions of people I protect!"
"What's funny is that I was fighting on the front lines, fighting for your country and your people, and you sold me to the Xiongnu Khan!"
"Speaking of repaying kindness with enmity!"
"You, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, dare to say you are second, and no one in the world dares to say you are first!"
Bai Qi's words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Many people gave Bai Qi a thumbs up in their hearts. You said what we wanted to say but dared not say.
At this moment, the generals' eyes towards Bai Qi changed. They no longer thought that Bai Qi was an unruly warrior.
How many soldiers fought on the battlefield, were buried in a foreign land, and were finally exploited and harmed by the royal family.
Every general has a scale in his heart to measure the shamelessness of the Zhou royal family.
This time, Bai Qi made great military achievements, but the Emperor of Zhou sold Bai Qi to the Khan of the Xiongnu. Who could not have any resentment in his heart?
But only Bai Qi dared to curse loudly in front of the civil and military officials, the Emperor of Zhou, and the common people.
This courage and responsibility can be said to be unprecedented in history!
Princess Anyang felt her heart beating unusually fast. Her face turned slightly red, and there was a hint of tenderness and warmth in her eyes when she looked at Bai Qi.
Being able to spend the rest of your life with such a person is definitely one of the greatest pleasures in life!
