Chapter 389 Lawless!

The blue ox has a huge and slightly stout body. If it were to walk on a country road, its four hooves would almost leave four pits when they stepped on it.

Fortunately, this is the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, and the roads are built wide and broad.

In just a few short years, this place has been completely transformed. It is even hard to tell that it had suffered an earthquake that nearly destroyed half of the imperial capital.

But even so, being able to ride a blue bull and walk on the streets of the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty was the first time in the history of the world! Countless surprised eyes swept over. Although the blue bull has the word "cow" in its name, it is only slightly similar to a cow. In the final analysis, it is still different. Just look at the single horn on its head that is as white as jade.

Its body is wider and slimmer than a cow, like a walking hill. It is difficult not to attract attention.

I have seen many fine horses, but this is the first time I have seen someone riding a green ox!

After all, this is an animal that can fight side by side with a tiger, but it is a herbivorous animal. If you really think it has a docile temperament, it would die without knowing how it died.

Many people were surprised when they first saw the blue cow, and then looked surprised after they came to their senses.

This is the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty. How can we allow such ferocious beasts to roam in the city?

What if someone gets hurt? Xia Dynasty law stipulates that it is not allowed to bring any threatening creatures to the imperial capital.

Obviously, the si, which stands shoulder to shoulder with the tiger, is also among them. Don't think you can get away with it by just changing the name to green ox.

Do you really think that the Legalists are vegetarians? But the blue bull walked on the streets of the imperial capital for a long time.

From time to time, a patrolling clerk would come over with a fierce look on his face, then turn around with a flattering look and walk away quickly.

In broad daylight, the world is clear and bright.

The laws of the Xia Dynasty seemed to be meaningless at this time. In a quarter of an hour, at least three groups of petty officials patrolling the streets saw the blue bull, but no one dared to step forward and scold it! They all lowered their heads and walked quickly, as if they were fleeing.

One cannot help but sigh, how can the world have come to this!

Did the Legalists become something like this once their leader left?

"Hey, who dares to ride a ferocious beast in the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty? Does this mean that the laws of the Xia Dynasty are meaningless?"

However, there are always people with poor eyesight.

When Qingniu approached an increasingly prosperous street and just turned the corner, a minor official came forward, drew the long sword from his waist, and shouted sharply with a cold look in his eyes.

"Get off your horse quickly. Get off your mount quickly and surrender. Otherwise, I will make you know why the Xia Dynasty was so powerful!"

The voice was full of energy and had some explosive sounds.

As soon as you hear it, you know that this person is definitely a lackey of the Legalists.

However, the two people on the blue bull's back remained unmoved.

They all ignored his scolding!

The clerk was furious.

He walked quickly forward, wielding his sword.

He rushed towards the green ox without hesitation, apparently wanting to chop it to death directly.

"If you violate the laws of the Xia Dynasty, you will be punished with death!"

The clerk threw out his long sword - fortunately, he was not stupid enough to clash with the blue bull to see which was harder, the blue bull's horn or his long sword.

The sword whistled and hit the blue ox's head.

However, no blood was spilled.

I only heard——

"Ding Dong~"

A quite crisp sound.

The sword fell to the ground and rolled several times.

The blue ox was not injured at all, not even its skin was broken.

As the clerk rushed over, he got much closer and could clearly see the blue bull's amber eyes scanning him, with a hint of human contempt in them?

The petty official was furious! It was fine if someone was blind enough to ride a ferocious beast in the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty, but today even the sword specially issued by the court had lost its edge? !

What happened to the Xia Dynasty? Could it be that the Xia Dynasty collapsed just because the leader of the Legalists resigned? !

Although he had no sharp weapon in his hand at this time, the blue ox was still moving forward and was already close to him.

The petty official was clearly unarmed, yet he did not retreat even a single step.

With a frown on his face and a cold look in his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, and actually wanted to use his physical body to fight against the blue bull.

The fist was powerful, and it turned out that the clerk had some martial arts skills. His fist, which was almost as big as a blue bull's amber eyes, was about to fall down.

"That's enough."

It was not until this time that one of the two people on the back of the blue ox, whom he had not seen clearly, finally spoke.

Along with the voice, an invisible force forcibly pushed away the iron fist that was about to fall on him, and he couldn't help but take three steps back without any room to struggle.

But the clerk did not give up. He rolled over and picked up the long sword that he had thrown earlier, which seemed to be crudely made.

At this time, the clerk pointed his sword to the sky and shouted angrily, "I am the patrol envoy of the Xia Dynasty. How dare you resist? This is the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty. You can't be so presumptuous! The people of the Xia Dynasty should leave quickly and inform the government. Don't come near.

"You lawless people, why don't you just surrender? Do you think the laws of the Xia Dynasty are irresistible? If you dare to disobey the laws of the Xia Dynasty, no matter who you are, no one can protect you!"

This was an impassioned speech, full of lofty sentiments.

Even the man on the blue ox's back couldn't help but applaud softly.

What a brave man! Only Emperor Qizhi, who was sitting on the back of the blue ox, had a ruddy complexion.

No, are you blind?!

Even if you have never seen me, do you recognize the dragon robe I am wearing? However, Emperor Qizhi took a closer look.

The clerk's eyesight was indeed not very good. Unlike the eyes of most people which were white and black, the clerk's eyes were grayish white entirely and had no pupils!

At first glance, it is really scary.

No wonder all the patrol officers who came up to him turned around and ran away after taking a look, but this guy not only didn't leave, but also dared to throw swords and punches.

Fortunately, he is not a tyrant.

Otherwise, he would be accused of assassinating Wang Jia, and all nine clans would have to play Candy Crush together.

"Come closer and see clearly who I am."

Emperor Qizhi forced himself to suppress the embarrassment in his heart and emphasized the word "朕".

Mr. Gu was sitting behind him, so he naturally couldn't put on airs, let alone say that he was the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. Didn't he think his face was swollen enough after being slapped? So in order to remind the clerk in front of him, whose eyesight was not very good in the literal sense, he had to say "朕" as a reminder - before, in front of Gu Dan, he never mentioned this exclusive title for the emperor, and always called himself "I".

This is the sense of propriety of the Xia Dynasty emperor! Although the situation was sudden, it was natural to deal with it this way.

Although the clerk's eyesight was not working well, his ears were not deaf anymore.

Otherwise, he would have to seriously question why there were blind and deaf people among the street patrollers.

However, the thing he was most worried about still happened.

"Come down!"

The clerk's expression was still cold, as if he had heard nothing, but his sword was pointed at the blue ox.

Obviously, he is not an absolutely brainless person.

"you"

Emperor Qizhi, who was sitting on the back of the green ox, was feeling very uncomfortable at this time.

If he hadn't been concerned about Mr. Gu behind him, he would have been embarrassed. As long as he waved his hand, eight hundred palace guards would have rushed over and given the ungrateful clerk a good beating.

"This kid is good."

However, the person behind him spoke softly, and with just one sentence, he wiped out the anger in Emperor Qizhi's heart.

"It's not a long way to go. Come down and take a walk."

Gu Dan followed suit and jumped off the green ox's back.

Emperor Qizhi also slid down quite cleanly.

After all, Mr. Gu didn't sit on it, so what would it mean for him to sit on it?

"Legalists are like this. They only have the laws of the Xia Dynasty in their heads. Really."

Although he was scolded off the back of the blue ox, Emperor Qizhi was still the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. What kind of grand scene had he not seen? With a slightly helpless teasing, the previous embarrassment was immediately exposed.

As a Legalist, I can understand that.

You did a great job, you did a great job!

I will reward you greatly!

However, another unexpected scene appeared.

The clerk praised him for his impartiality before he even opened his mouth.

He walked to the front of the blue ox and searched around - as if trying to find the reins beside the blue ox's head.

Of course not.

“.”

“.”

For a moment, both the minor official and Emperor Qizhi were stunned.

Started to doubt life.

Emperor Qizhi even couldn't help but wonder if he didn't check the almanac before going out today. What was going on?

"Don't worry, this blue bull won't hurt anyone. I guarantee it."

As an emperor, he would not take anything that happened to his mind seriously. Emperor Qizhi took a deep breath, calmed his slightly agitated mood, and spoke slowly.

"Zheng Fei! What are you doing again?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

With a loud shout, a group of people swarmed over and rushed over, dragging away the clerk who was standing in a daze beside the green ox.

The man at the front bowed to Emperor Qizhi and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zheng Fei's eyesight is not good and he didn't recognize you. I told him a long time ago that if he has poor eyesight, he can't be a street patrol. Don't worry, we will take good care of him.

We can't just let something like this go when we bump into the emperor!"

Emperor Qizhi: “.”

At this moment, Emperor Qizhi's expression could no longer be described as ugly.

If Zheng Fei's lack of respect only made him feel a little uncomfortable, it was not intolerable.

But the blatant flattery of this official, whom he did not know, or who he had no right to meet before, made him want to vomit out the lunch he had yesterday.

The most important thing is that Mr. Gu is watching all of this.

God have mercy on us.

He really isn't that despicable.

It is really not possible for an emperor to make things difficult for a petty official with poor eyesight.

It's just a small episode, and it's over.

At this time, this group of people intervened, seemingly to help him out, but in fact they were actually smearing him!

How would Mr. Gu view him?! As soon as Shang left, the Xia Dynasty was truly handed over to him. There was no one to stand against him anymore, but it immediately turned out like this?

He is so cunning and servile! When he sleeps at night, his ancestors will curse him to death in his dreams!

Emperor Qizhi was so angry that his head was about to smoke. At this time, he clenched his teeth and said angrily, "Don't do it."

"Yes, yes! He will definitely not be allowed to patrol the streets again, Your Majesty, don't worry!"

The official nodded repeatedly and said.

"I mean, you don't have to do it!"

Emperor Qizhi was furious.

"ah?"

The official was stunned at first.

Then he came to his senses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, his head hitting the ground of the imperial capital with a bang. After just a few breaths, blood was already oozing from his forehead. It could be said that he was not using too much effort.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am loyal to you! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty!"

Begging for mercy was constantly being shouted out.

Emperor Qizhi's expression became increasingly ugly.

Finally, he could no longer bear it, and kicked the official to the ground, "Get out! Get out as far as you can! Get out now before I chop you off!"

An almost hysterical sound came from his heart and lungs.

Logically speaking, as the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Qizhi's mind would not be so narrow-minded, let alone his mood changing so easily.

But, but.

Mr. Gu is watching! Mr. Gu is watching!!! It was like a child who had just finished his homework and was about to hand the answer sheet to his parents - but suddenly a group of people rushed out, scribbled on the answer sheet and spit on it.

Emperor Qizhi couldn't bear it.

I can't stand it at all.

This is not a slap in the face of Xia Chao, this is a slap in his face! Under his rule, in front of him! Kneeling and groveling, without any backbone, without any style of Xia Chao! Zheng Fei's iron face and impartiality certainly made him uncomfortable; but the officials in front of him were really disgusting.

The former will make him embarrassed, but he will only be embarrassed.

The latter was smearing him, ruthlessly smearing him in front of Mr. Gu! You deserve to die!

You really deserve to die!

Emperor Qizhi's chest heaved violently, and he was very angry.

It's over.

Shang had only been gone for a few years, and Mr. Gu had just returned to the imperial capital. How would he look at him when he encountered such a thing right in front of him?

Emperor Qizhi felt deep malice and exhaustion.

It's difficult to be a human being.

Being an emperor is even harder.

Being the emperor of the Xia Dynasty is truly the most difficult thing.

Emperor Qizhi had a gloomy face as he watched the almost frightened official rushing away on the ground like a dog paddling. He held his forehead with his hand, with mixed feelings in his heart, not knowing how to express them.

Tired.

It is better to think about the reign title of the next emperor of the Xia Dynasty as soon as possible. "Why do you have a dark face?"

However, what Emperor Qizhi did not expect was that Mr. Gu was not angry at all, and his tone remained calm.

It seemed as if this little episode had never happened.

"Mr. Gu, I..."

Emperor Qizhi felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't know how to explain. His tongue felt like it wasn't his own and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with not explaining, but it feels like I have been wronged in front of my parents.

It’s okay if you don’t mention it, but once you mention it, you can’t hold it in anymore.

"It's just a small matter. The Xia Dynasty is so big that it's impossible to cover everything, even at the foot of the imperial capital. Do I need to tell you again what happened to Shang when your father ascended the throne?"

Gu Dan's voice was calm and indifferent. "To govern a country, we cannot just focus on one thing. As long as the general direction is correct, some branches and lesions are not impossible to cut off. Even the most prosperous trees will inevitably have dry and damaged branches and leaves.

The only difference is that some people, when they see a lesion, will think of cutting it off, while some people, when they see a lesion, appreciate the beauty of the lesion and watch it grow.

For an emperor, these are the things he should really worry about."

What is worth worrying about is not that Emperor Qizhi will be angry and lose his imperial majesty; what we should really worry about is that some emperors enjoy it, become complacent, and think they are superior.

Isn’t Emperor Qizhi’s loss of composure at this time an answer?

Gu Dan naturally wouldn't scold him.

"Yes, yes."

Emperor Qizhi nodded repeatedly like a student in a private school.

After a while.

Emperor Qi Zhi couldn't help but say, "I will definitely not punish Zheng Fei, and I have no intention of punishing him. Mr. Gu, please believe me!"

"ha."

Gu Dan burst out laughing.

Emperor Qizhi was really at a loss in front of him and even had to explain these things.

Perhaps it was because the timing of his appearance when he came back was too good, and the impression he left on Emperor Qizhi was too deep.

However, Gu Dan thought about it and said, "No. Just detain Zheng Fei and let those people do whatever they want. But don't hurt his life or humiliate him too much. I'll go see him in a few days."

Emperor Qizhi was startled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"

Qingniu standing by watched everything happening.

People come and go, there is chaos, confusion and noise.

Tsk, humans are so boring.
