His face was contorted with barely concealed rage, and the people on both sides of the hall were equally agitated, wishing they could immediately draw their swords and charge out. However, no one actually went out, after all, the person outside was the Crown Prince Regent, and more importantly, the other party was truly ruthless in killing…
They used to be able to bully this eldest prince, but after he became the Crown Prince Regent, he seemed to have become a different person. He not only killed people from his own household, but even Shi Jingtang, one of the Eight Pillars of State, could not escape his clutches. No one was willing to be so reckless as to mess with such a bloodthirsty person who disregarded the consequences...
"Someone, go and invite this Crown Prince Regent over..."
Director Wang, barely containing his anger, sent someone to invite Li Zhu, intending to give him a hard time, but he didn't expect the other party to be so uncooperative and choose to confront him head-on...
This made him, the Grand Tutor, lose face, but his remaining rationality told him that he couldn't let Li Zhu continue to wait outside. Who knew what earth-shattering things he might do next!
Squeak…
The gates of the Grand Tutor's residence finally opened, and a servant walked out with an arrogant expression, not even bowing his head, and said...
"Who is Li Zhu? My master invites you in to pay your respects..."
Humiliation, contempt...
For a servant to dare address the Crown Prince by his given name shows just how arrogant he is!
Most importantly, he is the Crown Prince. Even if the Emperor initially intended to abandon him, he is still the Crown Prince, or at the very least, a prince. Yet, the other party only sent a servant to greet him, and displayed such an arrogant and rude attitude. This is definitely retaliation for the poem he had just carved on the gate.
bass!
Pfft…
Glug glug…
It was still the same routine: draw the sword, chop off a head, and the head rolled to the ground…
Although they were prepared, Li Zhu's ruthless decisiveness still shocked everyone. Even the Marquis's gaze kept shifting, and he was secretly glad that Li Zhu could not practice martial arts, otherwise, he didn't know how many people would have died at Li Zhu's hands. The Crown Prince's reputation for being bloodthirsty was indeed well-deserved!
"Since the Grand Tutor didn't teach you manners, then I'll teach you how to respect a Crown Prince who is overseeing the state..."
Li Zhu said coldly. At this moment, he was suppressing an indescribable anger. He himself did not know why killing became so natural for him. As a modern person, he knew how to respect life, but in this era, his life was always threatened, so it was normal to take appropriate actions to defend himself!
In that situation, if he hadn't done something to respond to the Wang family's unreasonable behavior, he would have died a terrible death. His position as regent crown prince sounds impressive, but it's all just a castle in the air, unable to withstand the slightest fluctuation...
If he backs down today, then a series of traps will be laid against him, and he will be overwhelmed. He will die a more miserable death than that servant, at least he will not suffer any pain!
Li Zhu strode into the main hall, followed by guards with swords. The Marquis had already concealed himself; unless the other party revealed himself, no one would be able to discover his location…
"Li Zhu, you..."
Just as someone was about to question Li Zhu about why he killed someone, he burst into laughter and said...
"Grand Tutor, I just cleaned up your mess, you should thank me properly..."
Everyone in the hall was stunned, not understanding for a moment what Li Zhu meant or why they should thank him.
Li Zhu's next words almost made them furious. His ability to turn the tables was truly amazing!
"The servant just saw me but didn't kneel. He even uttered arrogant words to insult me. How can such an ill-mannered servant be qualified to serve the Grand Tutor? You should know that even servants speak and act on behalf of the Grand Tutor. Such an ill-mannered servant is tarnishing the Grand Tutor's reputation!"
As a junior, I know that the Grand Tutor is a great literary figure and would never commit murder. Therefore, I took the liberty of killing this servant to avoid offending anyone I shouldn't and causing trouble for the Grand Tutor. It was nothing more than a small favor, and the Grand Tutor need not thank me…”
Everyone in the hall had a dark expression, and only one thought was on their minds: "I really, really thank your whole family..."
You killed people from our household, and you actually expect us to thank you? Your methods of killing and destroying the spirit are truly masterful. Could your skin be any thicker?
Huff... Huff...
The breathing in the entire hall became noticeably heavier. Li Zhu grinned, knowing that these people had already cursed him eight hundred times in their hearts. However, as the Crown Prince Regent, even if they had a lot of opinions about him, they didn't dare to openly curse him unless they wanted to rebel!
"It seems I haven't managed my subordinates well enough, which is why the servants offended the Crown Prince..."
The Grand Tutor almost ground his back teeth to powder as he uttered those words with great stiffness!
"You should all learn from the Grand Tutor's composure. That's what it means to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before you. You all have red eyes, as if you've lost a loved one..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but complain to the Wang family members on both sides of the hall...
These words acted as a fuse, igniting the Wang family members in the hall, and all their anger erupted in an instant!
"You brat, how dare you insult my Wang family like this?"
A member of the Wang family, dressed in armor, stood up, pointed at Li Zhu, and angrily rebuked him. He had clearly reached his limit of patience, and as a general, he was known for his fiery temper!
"Yanzhang, you mustn't be rude..."
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Grand Tutor Wang Dao immediately spoke up to stop it. Although he also wanted to kill Li Zhu, the other party's identity was delicate, and even if he died, he could not die in the Grand Tutor's mansion!
Upon hearing this name, Li Zhu was clearly taken aback, because this guy was a formidable figure, historically known as King Iron Spear, who had defeated countless opponents with his iron spear, and his martial prowess was absolutely unquestionable!
"You're Wang Yanzhang?"
Coming to his senses, Li Zhu quickly asked, wanting to confirm whether the other person was the Wang Yanzhang he knew!
"It is indeed I. Since you know my reputation and still dare to humiliate my Wang family like this, believe me or not, I'll take down this good-for-nothing crown prince..."
Seeing that Li Zhu knew him, Wang Yanzhang was extremely proud, so he spoke without any politeness or respect!
"Fame? Do you think you're more powerful than the Eight Pillars of State?"
Li Zhu didn't want to act tough, but this guy was too disrespectful. Even if he had some skills, he couldn't be rude, so he had to suppress his arrogance!
"Of course I can't compare. Each of the Eight Pillar Generals is a seasoned warrior. To be able to fight alongside Pillar General Zhu Wen is already the greatest fortune of my life..."
Wang Yanzhang said arrogantly. The Grand Tutor knew that something bad was going to happen when he heard his words. Others might not know, but he clearly remembered how Li Zhu killed Shi Jingtang. The cruelty of the method was unbearable to watch. How could someone who dared to kill even a Pillar of State care about a Pillar of State's subordinate?
