Chapter 120 Zhou Huai'an Logs Offline
Qiu Moyan's words left Zhou Huai'an stunned. What was going on? Why wasn't Qiu Moyan fawning over me anymore?
However, he soon realized a very serious problem—he seemed to be really going to die!
He knew full well that once Qiu Moyan made a decision, there was absolutely no possibility of negotiation.
There was a loud "plop!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Huai'an knelt down on the ground again, his forehead slamming heavily against the ground, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face.
"Young Master, please spare my life! I still have many uses... I can hand over the military tally!"
He thought for a long time and realized that his former pride in his martial arts skills and status was now completely useless.
The only hope is to rely on the military tally to see if it can change Shan Tianxie's mind!
Qiu Moyan remained calm as she looked at Zhou Huai'an, who was groveling for mercy. In her heart, she wished she could slap herself twice for believing such a person before!
I really thought he was some kind of heroic figure, but now I can't help but feel disgusted by him.
Instead, Shan Tianxie chuckled and pointed at Zhou Huai'an in front of him, "Xi Yu, what can you learn from Master Zhou?"
With such vivid examples right before our eyes, how can we not teach everyone and show them how dangerous the world can be!
What can I learn?
Xi Yu frowned and said softly, "This question seems very simple, but given the young master's wicked taste, he would never ask such a simple question. There must be some other secret behind it!"
So she tentatively replied, "Could it be that you want to survive in the martial arts world for a long time, so you've lost all sense of shame and dignity? Shamelessness is the ultimate weapon?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai'an's face instantly turned bright red, but he dared not refute Xi Yu, and besides, he had nothing to refute; what she said was correct.
So he just kept kowtowing, hoping to find a way to survive.
Dan Tianxie almost burst out laughing.
Looking at Xi Yu, she clicked her tongue in amazement. She used to be such a cool and aloof killer of older women, but now, after spending time with her, her way of thinking is almost taking on his shape.
"That's both right and wrong."
Dan Tianxie paused for a moment, then continued, "Someone as flexible and adaptable as Commander Zhou would surely soften upon seeing this scene! But..."
Xi Yu stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought. Based on her understanding of the young master, she basically knew that Zhou Huai'an was going to die, but she still cooperated by asking,
"Huh? What if it's not an ordinary person?"
"That's unusual! Good question!"
Dan Tian grinned like a child, then revealed his right hand with its distinct knuckles and slammed it down on Zhou Huai'an's head. "Watch closely!"
Then, sensing something was wrong, Zhou Huai'an suddenly activated the Star Absorbing Technique to its highest level, and an incomparably fierce energy of absorption burst forth from his palm.
Zhou Huai'an felt a sudden tightness all over his body, and the true energy flowing within him began to surge outwards!
He now understood what had happened, but he still refused to give up his last hope. "Young Master... spare me... the military tally is with Yang..."
Unfortunately, Shan Tianxie remained unmoved. He had no interest in the military seal; he would simply find some excuse to fool the Eastern Depot later.
Why take slacking off so seriously? Besides, if it weren't for his appearance, the Eastern Depot would have had to hold two banquets, one for Pi Xiaotian and one for Cao Shaoqin. For that reason alone, he had a clear conscience and even felt a little guilty.
A moment later, Zhou Huai'an's true energy was completely drained, and he slumped to the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy, as if he had gone mad.
"Look, when you encounter someone extraordinary, you think that such a person has such a low moral standard. Not only will such a person not live, but you'll also have to scatter their ashes later!"
Xi Yu's face was full of speechlessness, and she even felt a little sorry for Zhou Huai'an. Shan Tianxie had never let him go from beginning to end, and was just playing with him like a fool.
Seeing that the teaching results weren't as good as he had expected, Dan Tianxie felt a sense of disappointment.
Then, with a slight surge of true energy in his palm, Zhou Huai'an, the commander of the first 800,000 Imperial Guards, officially logged off!
.......
Subsequently, Shan Tianxie entrusted the important task of searching for the corpse to Qian Wucai. Qian Wucai lived up to his nickname, reaching out from the coffin to demand money.
They stripped Zhou Huai'an bare, and there were even some unexpected discoveries!
Unexpectedly, Zhou Huai'an actually carried the military tally in his underpants!
At first, everyone felt disgusted watching Qian Wucai grope Zhou Huai'an's crotch, but when the military tally was found, all that remained was admiration for Zhou Huai'an!
"Hey, Zhou Huai'an really lives up to his reputation as the former commander of the 800,000 Imperial Guards! He's a true master of military strategy, knowing that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Who would have thought he'd put him in this spot!"
Qian Wucai's eyes revealed undisguised admiration. He was a talented man. Huai'an hadn't showered for the past two days, and even the military tally smelled strange.
Looking at the military tally in front of him, Shan Tianxie thought it was a happy accident. He could give the Eastern Depot an explanation and exchange it for several hundred thousand taels of silver to spend.
Thinking of this, he then turned to look at Qiu Moyan beside him and asked, "Miss Qiu, what are your plans for the future?"
Qiu Moyan first glanced at Zhou Huai'an's corpse, then turned to look at Longmen Pass in the distance, her tone revealing a hint of weariness.
"Young Master Shan, may I ask you a question?"
"Oh?" Shan Tianxie raised an eyebrow, wondering what Qiu Moyan was up to. "Miss Qiu, please speak freely."
"Why are you helping those people from the Eastern Depot? They clearly..."
Before Qiu Moyan could finish speaking, Shan Tianxie interrupted him.
"You're clearly a bad person, aren't you?"
"Ok!"
Qiu Moyan nodded, though she had some questions in her mind, even though Bliss Valley had a bad reputation.
However, after a brief encounter with Shan Tianxie, I felt that he was not as ruthless as the legends suggested, killing entire families at the drop of a hat.
Instead, he is a character who is neither entirely good nor entirely evil. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, he is generally easy to get along with.
Dan Tianxie waved his hand, stopping Qian Wucai who wanted to speak, and sighed, "Miss Qiu, the affairs of the imperial court are not as simple as you think."
"Take the case of Yang Yuxuan's family being raided, for example. Although it was indeed the Eastern Depot that did it, you don't really think that the Eastern Depot could just find a reason to raid and exterminate the family of a high-ranking official like the Minister of War, do you?"
"What does Young Master Shan mean?"
Qiu Moyan frowned slightly. She had thought it was just a drama of treacherous villains persecuting loyal officials, but there seemed to be more to it than met the eye.
"Let me put it this way, without that person's permission, what gives the Eastern Depot the right to act rashly? Do you think a letter from Bai Wuxia can stir up such a huge storm?"
