"That ignorant brat dares to try and shake a mighty tree!"
Watching his son-in-law leave with resentment, Jiang Li couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. This kid was too arrogant to know his place.
Even I wouldn't dare to lose my temper, so who do you think you are, some live-in son-in-law?
He glanced at Li Siyuan and said quietly, " Siyuan, your second brother-in-law is getting a bit arrogant. Send someone to deal with him. Remember to report to the Net and the Hundred Riders, and don't alert those two killing machines. I will apologize to the Emperor afterward."
Forehead!
Li Siyuan's pupils contracted. His father-in-law actually wanted to kill A Mao, who was his son-in-law who had married into the family. His father-in-law was a ruthless man.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. A Mao was a fool to dare to openly express his dissatisfaction with the Emperor; he was courting death.
This All Under Heaven belongs to the Emperor; I'm afraid the Net will soon be closing in.
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately got up and chased after them.
If their own people take action, their father-in-law's lineage might survive. But if the Net a powerful organization) intervenes, they might be implicated as well. It's important to understand that compared to this A Mao, their status as a former royal is actually more sensitive.
Therefore, this scourge must be dealt with immediately.
Watching his retreating figure, Jiang Li sighed deeply. He had never wanted to kill his son-in-law, but alas, he was oblivious to fate.
He instructed his son, "Tao'er, you must be more careful in the future. Don't talk nonsense. The Emperor is very strict. That A Mao is a complete idiot. Didn't he see that Siyuan and Li Yifeng didn't dare to move? Yet he was jumping around like that."
"Sigh, he thinks too highly of himself, but he doesn't know how ruthless the people under the Emperor are!" Jiang Tao shook his head with a wry smile, his face full of bitterness.
Leaving aside others, even though his own Grand Master of Ceremonies controlled the Court of Diplomatic Reception and was considered a civil official, his fighting skills were simply unparalleled; he could take on ten people like himself.
Xu You, the Grand Master's henchman, is a boastful fellow, but when he schemes against people, even Grand Master Xu feels a chill run down his spine.
The governors of the three provinces and the ministers of the six ministries—each of these was a first-rate figure, capable of ruling as a king or tyrant in the south.
Not to mention the generals of the major legions, who were ruthless killers, their military prowess enough to turn the once-powerful Tusi Alliance into a sieve. That's how domineering they were.
In this situation, his brother-in-law, a nobody, actually dared to try and cause trouble—wasn't that just asking for trouble?
"Alas, my skills are inferior to theirs, my skills are inferior to theirs!"
Hearing his son's words, Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh. He too was devastated.
Whenever his son brought up the matter, he felt a deep sense of empathy.
After the strategist Li Ru entered the Jackal Kingdom, the troops from several governorates around them were transferred there to adapt to the environment, and he went along as well.
Lü Bu only glanced at him, but it almost scared him to death. That guy was like a blue beast; just one look from him sent chills down his spine.
As for Li Ru, this guy looks refined and gentle, but in reality, he's the most cunning of all.
Jiang Li went to the Jackal Kingdom for three days and almost got tricked out of even his underwear by Li Ru, so he hurriedly returned to the capital, still under the guise of paying respects to the Emperor Emeritus.
That's why he was so angry about his son-in-law's words. That was a completely overconfident choice. They weren't even in the same league. Where did this kid get the courage?
The father and son exchanged a glance and sighed, "Son, it's good enough that we're alive. The Great Liang was destroyed like a dog being slaughtered, but we were able to bend and stretch, which is nothing to be ashamed of! If the future emperor is pleased and remembers our kindness, he might even make us dukes."
"The Duke?"
Just as he finished speaking, a large hand suddenly slapped Jiang Li on the shoulder. The immense force made Jiang Li's pupils shrink, and he subconsciously looked at the owner of the hand.
He had a long beard, a jujube-shaped face, and eyes as sharp as knives!
Who are you?
Looking at this man, Jiang Li became wary and gave his son a wink. This guy looked ruthless; it seemed like he and his son might be going to have a big fight with the man with the jujube-shaped face today.
Upon hearing his words, the newcomer's eyes flashed with arrogance. He stroked his beard and sneered, "I am Guan Yu, the leader of the righteous East Sea Righteous Army. I am honored by the Emperor's favor and have been appointed as the Loyal and Righteous General."
Today I heard disloyal words. If the governor hadn't sent someone to deal with him, then now...
Guan Yu East Sea Righteous Army!!!
Upon hearing this name and Guan Yu's words, Jiang Li broke out in a cold sweat. The hand on his shoulder felt like a guillotine, making his face Bai Qi.
This Guan Yu roamed the South Sea, and had previously wreaked havoc in the southeastern region. He was a figure who could stop even a child from crying in the southeast.
It is said that after he raised the banner of rebellion, he surrendered to the Great Liang, and the emperor appointed him as the Loyal and Righteous General to show his loyalty.
Now that he has overheard his son-in-law's disobedient words, this is not a good thing.
He chuckled dryly, "So it's the Loyal and Righteous General Jiang Li. Greetings. As for today's matter..."
"Stop!"
Guan Yu stopped him immediately, coldly saying, "There are always some people in this world who can't see the bigger picture. You should be glad you didn't speak ill of the Emperor and even took the initiative to handle this matter. You should know that I wasn't the only one who heard it just now. If you hadn't intervened, you would have been doomed!"
Holy crap!
Jiang Li's face immediately turned green. There was no need to say anything more; he already knew who else had heard.
The Net!
He had probably overheard his entire family's conversation with that hidden weapon. He wanted to slap himself, yelling, "Serves you right for being so talkative! This is too dangerous!"
It feels like even taking a pee can lead to being caught in Net.
He smiled wryly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, General Guan. I will go and apologize to the Emperor."
"It's alright!"
Guan Yu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "I just happened to overhear this, and since we might be working together in the future, I'm just giving you a heads-up. I hope you'll take care of yourself!"
Working together?
Jiang Li's pupils contracted. He thought of the Zhennan Dynasty Zhennan couldn't help but tremble as he said, "General Guan, does the Emperor intend to...?"
He was stopped by Guan Yu before he could finish speaking.
Guan Yu gave him a meaningful look and smiled, "Don't misunderstand, His Majesty only ordered me to go and suppress the bandits. As for where the bandits are, we'll have to see when the time comes."
Forehead!
Jiang Li's lips twitched. They were treating him like a fool.
Now that the Jackal Kingdom has Lü Bu and Li Ru, along with several other generals, why would they need anyone else to suppress the bandits? Even the most formidable bandits wouldn't dare show their faces there.
This clearly shows that after conquering the Western Regions, the Emperor has set his sights on the Zhennan Dynasty.
