"But, the nobles, almost all know about what happened that night!" Wu Hong said worriedly.
"Yes! The nobles represent a very important part of the people's hearts, so the people's hearts have actually long been gone from me."
"Now, even if the people know about this, what can we do? As long as there's no evidence, Jin Mao has to protect me, and I'll be fine!"
"Jin Mao, he needs me! So, I'll be fine. At most, it'll be a close call, and my reputation will be damaged."
"Reputation? Do I need it? My reputation has long been rotten among the nobles!"
Wu Zheng understood his position. He and Jin Mao were both enemies and friends. He was a target erected by Jin Mao to attract fire.
Just like now, Gu has jumped out. Although the main opponent is Jinmao, the blame will be directed at him.
It would be difficult for Wu Zheng's generation to rise to power. Wu Zheng knew this very well, but time would weaken everything. He also needed to accumulate strength. Therefore, he did not lose heart.
Moreover, if his generation fails, there is still the next generation. What he needs to do is to take advantage of the current situation to expand his family and become the second most powerful family in the territory.
Prepare for the future in power.
"Public sentiment is important, but it's also unimportant. If we want, we can guide them specifically. What's most important is strength and influence!"
"As long as one has the strength and influence, it is not impossible to reverse one's reputation."
"Even if you can't change your reputation, lose the support of the people, and can't take power, as long as you have the strength and influence, you can find an agent."
"Anyway, there are many ways."
After hearing Wu Zheng's words, Wu Hong no longer worried about Wu Zheng's reputation.
Moreover, Wu Hong was originally a person who valued strength above all else! He believed that the strong were respected.
"Yes! As long as the strength is reached, everything will be easy."
In reality, Wu Zheng had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express. It was only recently, because of the Gu Qing case, that Wu Zheng suddenly realized that he was the target set up by Jinmao.
Wu Zheng felt that his generation would probably only be able to accompany the prince to study. He could only place his hopes on the next generation, or even the next one.
This was actually a huge blow to Wu Zheng, but because he wanted to appease Wu Hong, he had to pretend not to care. And if he could convince Wu Hong, he didn't need to care.
…
"Brother Qi, the public trial for Gu Qing's murder will be held at noon tomorrow! Remember to attend on time tomorrow! Father said there might be a fight, so we should prepare early."
Seeing the message Jin Chen sent, Ruan Qi ignored it and focused his attention on Fang Yuan who was breaking through in front of him.
He was protecting Fang Yuan at this time.
Fang Yuan has reached the critical moment of promotion to the combat school, and he is taking the promotion in a remote place. At such a tense moment, he dare not be careless.
"boom--"
Fang Yuan, who had just been promoted, was not very skilled, so the fighting spirit on his body blasted open the place where he was in seclusion.
Looking at Fang Yuan who had just broken through the barrier, Ruan Qi asked excitedly, "Advanced to the Battle School?"
This was actually nonsense. Ruan Qi already had the answer in his mind, but he still asked excitedly.
It's all because of being too excited.
"Yeah. Battle school!"
"Battle School! This is the first time I've seen it."
After the disaster of corpse demons, the generation of powerful warriors at the level of combat schools has ceased.
Before the Corpse Demon Disaster, their numbers were small. Those at the Battle School level were powerful individuals found only in lord families.
Even before the disaster of corpse demons, Zhan Xiao was a strong man and a powerful local leader!
"Is there any difference between a war captain and a war lieutenant?"
Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi were close, so naturally, they didn't hold back. He answered earnestly, "Warriors cultivate the Dantian, Lieutenants expand their meridians, and Commanders open their flesh orifices! Each flesh orifice is equivalent to a small Dantian."
"Each flesh orifice is born with a meridian. The meridians are connected to the Dantian, which is used to store battle energy. This further shortens the burst time of the same combat skills."
"The more flesh orifices you open, the more battle energy you can store. And the stronger your sustained combat capability will be!"
"Of course, the quality of the battle energy has also reached its maximum, forming a battle aura."
"It's just that it will take me some time to complete the transformation of the battle energy."
After Ruan Qi finished beheading, he was amazed.
"How long will the transformation take? Tomorrow at noon, there will be a public trial for Gu Qing's murder, and we must be there."
"Tomorrow at noon? We're a bit rushed! I estimate it'll take at least three or four days to complete."
"Don't you have any elixirs? Aren't there any elixirs in the mercenary mall that can quickly transform into battle energy?"
"I refreshed the page, and it really is there. It's called the Battle Gang Pill. It's specifically for replenishing the Battle Gang of the Battle School. There's no conversion process required! It will definitely arrive tomorrow."
Liquid, powder, pill, and pill.
These are the four major forms of the elixir. The further you go, the harder it is to refine.
Elixirs were something I had only heard of in legends but had never seen before.
Fang Yuan exchanged for the Battle Gang Pill and examined it carefully.
"Sure enough, the elixir is much more advanced than the previous three forms."
Ruan Qi looked at the Zhan Gang Dan with envy.
"I heard that refining elixirs is much more difficult than the previous three. And it is very difficult to train an alchemist. Only the kingdom has enough resources to train an alchemist. The status is extremely noble."
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "However, we have a system. We don't need alchemists. As long as we have contribution points, we can exchange them endlessly. There's no need to train alchemists. We have them!"
"Yes." Ruan Qi smiled and nodded. "Then tomorrow at noon, you can be used as a trump card."
"Has the venue for the public trial been decided? Where is it?"
Archers rely heavily on terrain. A good terrain can better protect themselves and also help them shoot enemies.
Therefore, Fang Yuan was very concerned about this.
"At the city gate!"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Uncle Jin really knows how to pick a spot. This place is great! It has a wide field of view and no major obstacles. It will definitely maximize my accuracy! Even if they want to hide, they can't!"
"Uncle Jin really takes everything into consideration when doing things," Ruan Qi praised.
Ruan Qi continued, "I heard that the time, location, and everything else for this public trial were all arranged by Uncle Jin. It's clear how much importance Uncle Jin attaches to it."
Although their political sense was not well developed, they also smelled a clue.
Jiang Jie had just finished winning them over, and soon after, he contacted the Gu family to put pressure on the parliament to try the case of Gu Qing's murder!
This is definitely going to be a big move!
However, Uncle Jin actually accepted the challenge and happily decided to hold a public trial!
If there is no problem here, they both will be alive!
“I’m afraid that when the war breaks out, ordinary people will be hurt!”
