The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 156

Although Jiang Chen said that he would not ask about the internal matter of the Dragon Tooth Guard when he left and this matter had not been resolved yet, all of this sounded like weak and shallow words in Lu Wuji's ears.    

If Jiang Chen really had the guts, he would take advantage of the best time to lose his temper and immediately make a fuss. When this time had run out and the trouble had passed, who would notice him, a foreign village clown even though he wanted to chase after him?    

“He must be a village clown from a small place. He has no guts at all. He scared me for no reason. Forget it, forget it. Even though old man Zhou doesn't like me, he has nothing on me because his uncle is there holding the fortress!”    

Lu Wuji felt calmer as his mind got to this point. If it wasn't Zhou Kai who held the Dragon Tooth emblem in his hand, it was likely that he would have immediately risen up and walked out of that place.    

Jiang Chen somewhat surprised Lu Wuji as he did not immediately resolve the matter.    

What was even more shocking was that even Zhou Kai did not seem to have any intention of continuing this further. He just waved his hand, “Pray so that this problem can be solved easily and in your favor!”    

With that, Zhou Kai had actually left with his team of wolves and tiger.    

When Zhou Kai left with the Dragon Tooth emblem, Lu Wuji immediately got back up in full blood and stood up gallantly, clearing the dust from his knees. “It is unlucky to bother the director general because of such small and small problems. This gave old man Zhou the opportunity to boast by borrowing influence and humiliating me. What shit!”    

“General Lu.” His men, trembling in fear, approached him.    

“Look at all of you with your heads bowed. Did your mother or parents die or what? The problem is over, what are you doing with a face full of ugly expressions?” Lu Wuji cursed.    

“General Lu, something is wrong here.”    

“What is inaccurate? Old man Zhou must have planned something bad in this regard. What are you afraid of? With my uncle there, old man Zhou won't be able to do much!” Lu Wuji did not care at all.    

He immediately spoke with gritted teeth after, “As for Jiang Chen, that stupid animal, how dare the village clown humiliate me? As long as you remain in Skylaurel Kingdom, I will make sure you die a terrible death!”    

Although Lu Wuji was not injured, he originally held the victory in his hands and uttered all sorts of wild words. When it came to the final step, the situation suddenly changed drastically and he instantly fell from the heavens.    

Jiang Chen, who had been scheduled to die according to his words, had walked past him out of that place.    

His heroic and arrogant words had turned into an outrageous joke.    

Accustomed to acting as he pleased in the capital and controlling the wind and rain, controlling the life and death of others, Lu Wuji deeply felt that this was humiliating and was the greatest humiliation for him.    

“Ai, after experiencing all these problems, that boy Jiang Chen is still out of here alive. I still have to give an explanation to the Northern Palace.”    

Lu Wuji walked home feeling annoyed.    

When he was almost at home, he suddenly felt that this matter should be explained to his uncle and immediately set off for Vice General Yang Zhao's house.    

"What's? Lu Wuji looking for an audience?” Currently, Yang Zhao had received pressure from many parties and was scorched by flames. When he heard that Lu Wuji was asking to be accepted, he ruthlessly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and cast a huge curse. “Does that idiot have a pig brain? How dare he come to see me now?”    

Although he cursed furiously, Lu Wuji was still his own nephew, and Yang Zhao had been cared for by his sister ever since he was a child. Since Lu Wuji was the only son of his sister, he basically treated Lu Wuji like his own son.    

“Sir Uncle, you must take action on behalf of your nephew for the sake of his beloved late mother!” Lu Wuji had long understood his uncle Yang Zhao, and knew that if he cried, no matter how hard his uncle's heart was, it would definitely soften.    

He has used this movement several times over the years at critical times and has always proven to be beneficial.    

It was true, Yang Zhao had been filled with flames of anger, but everything disappeared quickly when he saw Lu Wuji like this.    

The features of his nephew still showed traces of his sister's appearance.    

“Ai, Wuji, you shouldn't be back this time.”    

"Why?" Lu Wuji was surprised. He had not expected that his usually domineering uncle would voice such depressed words today.    

“You are handling a case wrongly. Even if they only accuse you of neglecting duty, you should remain at the Dragonteeth Guard headquarters and wait for the investigation from above. But you haughty back here. Tell me, how do you think the outside world will look at this? You are my nephew, but can you just be forgiven for being wrong?”    

Lu Wuji is not stupid. He immediately understood the important point Yang Zhao pointed out.    

Although there were not many problems with the negligence of duty, he still had to undergo protocol. Wandering around a house like this will surely give a signal to the outside world — that even if he made a mistake, he will not be punished for it because he is Yang Zhao's nephew.    

This kind of signal was undoubtedly extremely detrimental to him.    

“Zhou Kai the bastard. I wonder why he was suddenly so easy to let us go? He's digging a hole for me!”    

Lu Wuji still had a brain and he accepted this rude awakening.    

Yang Zhao felt regretful as well as angry when he saw Lu Wuji's appearance. “So, you are not a fool at all.”    

“Then how now?” Lu Wuji was feeling very upset now that he found out that he had been framed by Zhou Kai.    

“It's hard to say. We, uncles and nephews should put on a show full of sadness.” Yang Zhou threw a rope and two branches of thorns. “Open your clothes and tie yourself up. I'll personally take you to the general director. The general director is a nostalgic person. I hope I can temper his anger by doing this.”    

Holding down a stick and willingly accepting punishment was an old trick, but the most useful method to save the current situation.    

“I have also not received any intelligence regarding his specific situation. I only learned from various secret channels that the director general was not only very angry this time, but old Zhou and old Qi were also involved.”    

Could they be acting together against you? Lu Wuji thought of the conspiracy theories first.    

"Impossible." Yang Zhao shook his head firmly. “Zhou Old has a hostile relationship with me, but I understand old Qi. He would not intentionally target anyone. Don't ask too many questions now, this matter should not be postponed. I'll drag you in front of the general director now.    

Yang Zhao was naturally an ambitious person who excelled in psychological play considering he managed to become the second general director, the third figure of the Dragon Tooth Guard and wielded the power of rapture and dismissal.    

Of course, when Yang Zhao appeared at the door of the Dragon Tooth Guard with Lu Wuji tied up, cursing furiously while dragging the latter, it naturally caught the attention of many people.    

“That's the Vice General of the Well. He did not tolerate it even when General Lu made a mistake and personally brought him here in a bound state. It's amazing that he punishes his own relatives in the name of justice!”    

“When a prince commits a crime, his punishment equals the punishment of an ordinary person. Lu Wuji seemed to have done a great disaster this time around. Vice Director Who will definitely not protect him.”    

"Yes indeed. Vice General Who is objective and impartial, how could he possibly show favoritism?”    

This comment made Yang Zhao cheer inwardly, further confirming that he had chosen the right move.    

“Director General, Yang Zhao was terrified and has personally tied this animal up to be brought to you to await your decision!”    

When he saw general director Shangguan Yi, Yang Zhao stepped on Lu Wuji's butt and shouted, “Stupid beast, why haven't you kneeled down and apologized to the general director?”    

No matter how foolish Lu Wuji was, he did not dare to take any action before the power of the general director. He spoke respectfully and fearfully, “Director General, I am still young and stupid, inexperienced in handling cases. This caused me to make a biased misjudgment in this case. I am willing to accept the sentence of the general director.”    

These words are pretty sneaky. He first deleted his actions that trapped Jiang Chen and used such nonsense, “young and dumb, inexperienced in dealing with the” case to cover up the matter.    

He then said something about his willingness to accept the – general director's sentence was even more slippery. He was originally supposed to undergo an investigation from the Dragonteeth Guard discipline department and accept the military decision.    

If the director-general punishes him, it means he does not need to serve a sentence from the military.    

Yang Zhao also spoke with deep sadness, “Director General, usually because I am too busy that I neglect my education for this child. He made such a huge mistake this time that if you want to remove him from his post or punish him, I, Yang Zhao, will not say a word on his behalf.”    

If it happened at another time, Shangguan Yi would ignore it with a smile.    

However, Yang Zhao discovered that this time the circumstances were slightly different. Shangguan Yi was expressionless. He did not comment, and did not propose any punishment. He did not even look towards Lu Wuji.    

This strange situation suddenly made Yang Zhao's heart thump. An uncomfortable feeling began to spread in his heart.    

At this moment, two more people entered through the door. They were Zhou Kai and Qi Tiannan.    

Zhou Kai had an angry expression on his face as he looked at the bound Yang Zhou and Lu Wuji before walking past them with a smile.    

As for Qi Tiannan, he shook his head miserably and did not dare to exchange glances with Yang Zhao. It was obvious that he didn't want to have too much contact with Yang Zhao.    

This kind of situation made Yang Zhao feel even more uncomfortable.    

Zhou Kai's reaction was as expected since they were old rivals, but there was more meaning to it if Qi Tiannan deliberately avoided his gaze.    

Could there be anything more important than this?    

Shangguan Yi sighed lightly, “Vice Director Yang, the most critical issue right now is not how to handle your nephew, but how to calm the anger of all parties.”    

"What do you mean?" Yang Zhao was silent for a moment. Even if the Dragon Tooth Guard mishandled a case, it was an internal matter. What anger on all sides?    

“It looks like your nephew hasn't told you everything yet?” Zhou Kai smiled coldly.    

“Dirty pig, what else are you hiding?” Yang Zhao lost face and kicked Lu Wuji cruelly. He was really angry this time and did not fake that kick. Lu Wuji rolled on the ground in pain.    

Shang Guanyi frowned. “Since you don't know, Vice Director Qi, talk about the situation with Vice Director Yang. The person who installed the bell is required to cancel it, and it becomes your responsibility both of you to complete it.”    

Qi Tiannan nodded, “This is the situation.”    

Qi Tiannan discussed the special matters on the matter again, especially discussing in detail the passages relating to Elder Ning and Shi Xiaoyao.    

When he became the Fei elder of the Qingyang Valley, he quickly ignored him due to the consideration of general director Shang Guan Yi's face.    

Yang Zhao's face changed drastically throughout these words and he wanted to cry, but did not shed any tears. He knew that his nephew could cause great trouble, but the chaos this time was too great.    

This was practically a great disaster that struck the entire Dragon Tooth Guard on hot coals!
