The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 151

There was a general director in charge of the Dragon Tooth Guards who held the command of the Dragon Tooth Guard, and was in charge of all the Guards.    

The Dragon Tooth Guard was divided into ten armies, with a general and a deputy general assigned to each army.    

There were ten squadrons under each squadron, with each squadron numbering ten thousand. There was one commander and two deputy commanders for each squadron.    

There are lieutenants and captains under each commander, and each level is strictly partitioned.    

In other words, the general director was naturally at the highest level.    

There were three deputy directors under the general director, followed by ten generals, and then ten deputy generals.    

This General Lu was actually just a deputy general.    

In terms of titles and levels, he was indeed one level higher than a commander like Tian Shao.    

However, Tian Shao's forces were not part of Vice General Lu's jurisdiction. Tian Shao had a direct superior on it, and a general as well as a deputy general who was his subordinate.    

Therefore, in truth, Vice General Lu could not give orders to him, Tian Shao.    

However, everyone knew that this famous Vice General Lu had connections. His supporter is the deputy director of the Dragonteeth Guard.    

This vice director was a good friend of the first prince Ye Dai.    

In this way, Vice General Lu's connections reached all the way to the first prince.    

With this level of support, this allowed Vice General Lu to become extremely domineering and ruthless within the Dragonteeth Guard. He often takes actions such as transcending his jurisdiction and handling cases outside his control.    

Merely, he had not expected that at this moment, Tian Shao, who was only a commander, would dare to reply in public.    

“Young Master Tian!” General Lu looked at Tian Shao coldly. “I've heard your name and know that you are a famous thorn on the side of the Dragon Tooth Guard. You are right, I am not your direct superior, but it only takes one word from me for General Qiu You to appear. If you step aside now, I can let the past pass.”    

“I'm sorry, but I didn't give way in my region!” Tian Shao rejected him with these words.    

"Good good good!" General Lu spoke 'good' three times in a row in a very sinister tone. “Tian Shao, I don't know what principles you hold dear, or what kind of bad relationship you have with this child, but I will tell you now, now, you show no respect to your superiors and offend those who are higher than you. You have offended me greatly. I can tell you clearly, your life as a commander will soon be over!    

Tian Shao's temperament was also extremely bad. “As long as I'm still a commander, don't even think of passing me.”    

It could be said that Tian Shao was furious. This man with strong principles and justice was actually angered by General Lu.    

“Tian Shao, don't stubbornly hold on to your stupid ways without seeing the light! General Lu had a background that had direct access to the highest authority. Against him was like a praying mantis trying to stop a carriage. Overconfidence will destroy you! The general only needs a word if he wants to destroy you. If you step aside now, we can still plead for leniency on your behalf. “    

“Licking the rich and powerful, swarming like flies in search of food! To think that my colleague, Tian Shao, is shameless trash like all of you. I am ashamed to be in the same company as you. Stay away from me, stay as far away as possible. Don't make a fuss in my region.”    

“A cocky arrogance!”    

“Stupid fat!”    

“Tian Shao, you are dead. No one in Skylaurel Kingdom will be able to save you now.”    

General Lu was also very angry. His face was dark as he said, “Jian number seven, report to Vice Director Yang about the matter that happened here. Ask him to write a report of condemnation to revoke the title of commander of Tian Shao.”    

"Understood!"    

Tian Shao's face was extremely pale. He knew that Vice Director Yang Zhao was General Lu's uncle. He is the third greatest character in the Dragonteeth Guard. His position was high and his power was great. He is not a small character.    

It only took one word from him if he wanted to impeach a commander.    

However, now that the matter had reached this point, Tian Shao knew that he had no choice, and had taken the decision firmly.    

He also knew that if he wanted to fight these people with just his strength, it would be tantamount to a praying mantis trying to stop a carriage.    

But he has his own principles. Even if it was similar to the praying mantis trying to stop the carriage, he would still use all the power in his body if he felt it was the right thing to do. He only tried to have a clear conscience.    

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside and handed a message to General Lu.    

General Lu was being severely criticized by Tian Shao and received the letter with very bad emotions. He looked at it for a while, his face darkened, and then tore the note into small pieces. “What right does a Southern Palace elder have to question how the Dragon Tooth Guard handles our case? Tell the person who came that Jiang Chen is a serious villain of the Dragon Tooth Guard, and it doesn't matter who comes to defend his name.”    

General Lu's brows curved as he glanced at Jiang Chen who was sitting in his cell full of sarcasm. “Son, you are so arrogant because you have a relationship with a female elder in the Southern Palace? No wonder you are so arrogant! However, I can tell you clearly that even though Elder Ning himself who came to ask you, he will not be able to save you. Son, dispel this hope!”    

His words had just sounded when another subordinate hurriedly entered. He brought someone with him – Feng Yan.    

"And who are you?" General Lu's brows furrowed as he looked at Feng Yan.    

“I am a disciple of the Myriad Treasure Palace, and I am here on the orders of Vice Head Shi, here to ask this person on his behalf.” Feng Yan really wanted to humble himself and take a low stance in front of Shi Xiaoyao, but this vice general of the Dragon Tooth Guard had no right to be arrogant in front of him, Feng Yan.    

“Ask this guy?” Vice General Lu laughed coldly. “Is this a children's game when the Dragon Tooth Guard handles a case? You get that guy when you ask him?    

Feng Yan was angered by these words and asked weakly in response, “Do you mean our vice head's words are useless?”    

“Do not try to alienate one person from another. Go back and tell your deputy chief that this Jiang Chen is a serious criminal and is involved in matters involving national security. I hope he will understand.”    

Vice General Lu did not dare to speak too harshly to Shi Xiaoyao. This was an old monster that was several times more terrifying than Elder Ning.    

“Deputy General Lu, don't talk about such worrying talks. I watched with my own eyes the process of Jiang Chen beating a Northern Palace disciple to death. The Northern Palace disciple carried out the robbery first and Jiang Chen acted afterwards. He acted in self-defense, and was innocent at all. Hurry up and release this person, or our Myriad Treasure Palace will settle this lawsuit with you.”    

Feng Yan did not bear witness to Jiang Chen on the streets because he was not confident back then.    

But now it was different, as he felt quite confident with Shi Xiaoyao's orders.    

“What-what-is. Coming!" Vice General Lu waved his hand. “This is a heavily guarded territory of Dragon Tooth Guard, get rid of offenders at random.”    

"Understood!"    

A group of Dragon Tooth Guards immediately surged forward like a pack of wolves and tigers, picked up Feng Yan, and directly carried him out.    

Feng Yan cursed loudly, “Damn you by the surname Lu, do you think you, a vice general, can wipe out the sky in Skylaurel Kingdom?”    

His mouth was blocked as soon as he finished swearing.    

Seeing Feng Yan being dragged out by his men, Vice General Lu smiled coldly at Jiang Chen. “It seems I underestimated you. I can't believe you even have your way to Myriad Treasure Palace. However, this should be the end of your journey. I'll say this again, no one in heaven or on earth can save you.”    

Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear to this, and did not react at all to Vice General Lu's words.    

“Keep pretending, Son. This will be the day of your execution when this case is filed, tried, and stamped with the Dragontooth seal. I'll see how you pretend later.”    

“And you, Tian Shao, you are at one with this killer. You have an additional crime for hiding criminals. We will count all these crimes together when the time comes!”    

Tian Shao gave a cold snort and also sighed sadly for Jiang Chen in his heart. The Southern Palace Elder and the Deputy Head of the Myriad Treasure Palace came to plead on his behalf, yet still had not managed to bring him out of this place.    

It seemed like the first prince had hardened his heart this time and wanted to make Jiang Chen's case airtight. He fully decided to kill Jiang Chen and use it to suppress the fourth prince Ye Rong.    

“Forget it, forget it. A man is ready to die for his best friend. I, Tian Shao, have received great help from the fourth prince. Jiang Chen is also a good person, and being able to go through hardships and die with him means that I will be accompanied on the way to the underworld.”    

…    

"What did you say?" Elder Ning's willow tree's eyebrows curved. “That Lu family name is acting wild? He dared to tear up the notes written by my own hands and speak so brashly?”    

“Yes, he said that as an elder of the Southern Palace, you have no right to question how the Dragon Tooth Guard handled their case. He also said that when he handles a case, it doesn't matter who asks for leniency.”    

Elder Ning's full chest lifted as anger emerged on his delicate face. His jade palm smashed into his chair violently. “The madness of this foolish animal knows no bounds, purely based on his uncle. I noticed general courtesy when I wrote him a message - I respected him! Since he doesn't know how to appreciate help and refuses a polite toast, then I'll wait for him to come beg me.”    

When he finished, Elder Ning raised his voice. “Chun Lan, relay my orders and tell the people below that the gear for the Dragon Tooth Guard can be temporarily stored. In addition, the amount they have not paid in full the last few times must be repaid before noon tomorrow.”    

Elder Ning was obviously very angry. “How dare that animal surnamed Lu look down on me! He's really evil. I want to see if they can really cover the sky with one hand in the capital?”    

Qiao Baishi immediately said a few words of peace, “Please calm your anger, calm your anger. Elder, your existence is priceless. Do not burden yourself by clashing with a fool who knows nothing of it.”    

"You're right. I wrote a message to them and tried my fair way before using violence. I gave this stupid beast face, but he did not accept it. All right, I'll sit here and wait for them to come begging!”    

…    

Myriad Treasure Palace, Shi Xiaoyao courtyard.    

"What?" Shi Xiaoyao thought he had heard wrongly. "Say that again!"    

Feng Yan put on a sad face. “The noble head, that General Lu has an imposing aura. Not only did he not give you face, but he also said, 'How can you get what you want, when the Dragon Tooth Guard is handling the case?' Not just anyone can interfere when he is handling a case. Your student gets angry and argues on the grounds with him for a few words, before he has someone expel your student. He is indeed rude and does not put you first at all.”    

“Job. The animals!" Shi Xiaoyao's fist fell and a stone jar immediately shattered into dust. “Is this stupid animal surnamed Lu the nephew of old man Yang? Very good, very good. Even old man Yang did not dare to speak to me in such a tone. Did this animal gain courage by eating the heart of a bear?”    

Feng Yan spoke, slightly depressed, “He has a deep relationship with the Northern Palace, and vented ill will through this. He used public power to avenge his personal interests.”    

Shi Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, “I don't care if he abuses public power, or judges the case impartially. I will complicate the life of anyone who does not give me face.”    

Shi Xiaoyao's personality was eccentric and proud. Once annoyed, his anger was not something that ordinary people could withstand!
