If Grand Preceptor Zhuang still had some wishful thinking earlier, then when the other party remarked, "Do you, cowardly b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, think you can get away with it, or that I, Xiao Ji, can't lift the blade anymore?!", Grand Preceptor Zhuang immediately confirmed that the person who just arrived was indeed Marquis Xuanping!

Then, his earlier speculation was correct.

Whether it was Xiao Heng's luring them or Empress Dowager Zhuang's sudden appearance, their fundamental purpose was to delay time, waiting for Marquis Xuanping's arrival!

But wasn't this strange?

A few days ago, he received reports from the Southern Islands stating that a group of pirates had fled by s.h.i.+p, and Marquis Xuanping went to pursue them while riding the momentum of victory!

Could it be——

That so-called victorious pursuit was all false, and Marquis Xuanping was actually hiding in plain sight, already on his way back to the capital?!

Grand Preceptor Zhuang gritted his teeth as he looked at Marquis Xuanping, then s.h.i.+fted his gaze at Xiao Heng.

He was filled with frustration.

Both father and son were of the same character, playing political games better than the old foxes in the court!

Marquis Xuanping glanced at the whip marks on Xiao Heng's face, his dangerous gaze falling on Grand Preceptor Zhuang's hand tightly gripping a whip, "Which hand injured my son?"

This was the second time Marquis Xuanping admitted that Xiao Heng was his son.

He didn't bother pretending in front of Grand Preceptor Zhuang, which wasn't a good sign at all.

Xiao Heng's ident.i.ty was still a secret to be kept, and in this world, there was only one type of person who could keep a secret forever.

Grand Preceptor Zhuang's eyelids suddenly twitched.

He had never felt so intimidated by Marquis Xuanping before. After all, in terms of official position and status, he was not inferior to Marquis Xuanping. In fact, he even had many more qualifications to rely on his seniority.

However, at this moment... He felt a chill down his spine!

Instinctively, he looked towards General Nangong beside him.

"No need to look, he can't escape either!" Marquis Xuanping said.

General Nangong frowned, and before he could respond, Marquis Xuanping had already firmly planted the hilt of his sword into the ground.

Then his horse leaped forward. Startled, Grand Preceptor Zhuang's horse began to panic as well, jumping around and neighing frantically.

Grand Preceptor Zhuang struggled to steady himself, but Marquis Xuanping's hand reached out without hesitation, grabbing his collar and forcefully pulling him down from the horse.

"Marquis Xuanping, you——"

Grand Preceptor Zhuang shouted in disbelief!

"Screw you!"

Marquis Xuanping rudely threw him to the ground.

As a military man, his usual n.o.ble elegance in public was just a facade; deep down, he was rough and wild.

Most people wouldn't dare to be rough with Grand Preceptor Zhuang, an old and weak scholar official. Even if they did, they would at least maintain some decorum. But was Marquis Xuanping like most people?

Unfortunately, he wasn't a typical person!

Marquis Xuanping had no psychological pressure when bullying this frail old man. Not only did he throw him to the ground, but he also tightened the reins in his hand and made the horse step on Grand Preceptor Zhuang's right and left hands in succession.

The air resounded with two crisp sounds, followed by Grand Preceptor Zhuang's unbearable screams of pain.

After Marquis Xuanping was done, he turned his horse around and innocently looked at him. "I asked which hand, but since you won't say, I might as well ruin both."

Grand Preceptor Zhuang was utterly dumbfounded.

There really were such shameless and arrogant people in this world!

They take advantage and then act innocent. It was exactly this man!

Grand Preceptor Zhuang spent most of his life navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom, but he found fortune when he sold his sister into the palace. Since then, he had enjoyed smooth sailing, even when faced with obstacles, most of which were dealt with using subtle and indirect methods.

Who would believe that he would be publicly disabled one day?

Grand Preceptor Zhuang had never experienced physical pain like this before. It was so unbearable that he almost fainted.

He looked towards Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was sitting quietly in the carriage nearby. Her gaze was very calm.

She had long let go of this brother who had gnawed at her flesh and blood for a lifetime.

"Zhuang Jinse... You're ruthless..." Grand Preceptor Zhuang spat blood, breathing heavily with malice.

Was it her who was ruthless?

In this world, there were those who were accustomed to feeding on the flesh and blood of others. Once they were denied this sustenance, they became unforgivingly cold-hearted and ungrateful.

However, they never considered that perhaps they shouldn't have taken a bite in the first place!

Forget it, what was the point of talking about righteousness, morality, fairness, and grace with someone like this?

Deep down, he was just selfish, incapable of considering others. Otherwise, he wouldn't do so many despicable things.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't plead for him, and she didn't even look at Grand Preceptor Zhuang anymore, "Ah Heng, come here to Grandaunt."

She referred to herself as ‘Grandaunt’.

Not Aijia.

At this moment, Grand Preceptor Zhuang truly realized that Empress Dowager Zhuang wasn't just being stubborn with him. She had truly given up on the Zhuang Family. She had found new family members, people she could trust and rely on despite not having blood ties.

Once upon a time... Wasn't Empress Dowager Zhuang like this towards the Zhuang Family?

It was a pity that apart from Zhuang Yuheng, no one could see her sacrifices. They only saw her as a daughter who had left the Zhuang Family, thinking that she deserved to sacrifice her life for the Zhuang Family forever.

Xiao Heng turned and walked towards Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage.

General Nangong's gaze darkened.

Marquis Xuanping drew his long sword, riding his horse to stand in front of him, "I'll deal with that old man later. It's time to settle our accounts."

Five years ago, he failed to protect his own son. This time, he wouldn't let these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds succeed.

General Nangong looked at Marquis Xuanping with a serious expression.

He had heard of Marquis Xuanping's reputation: one, this person was extremely shameless. Two, this person unexpectedly made it onto the top beauty list of the six states.

How could a big man like him squeeze onto that list!

Even his sister, County Princess Nangong, ranked below him!

They had thought he was a weak and sickly beauty, but who would have thought he was a tough and skilled martial artist!

Before coming to the State of Zhao, General Nangong had already gathered enough information. He narrowed his eyes at Marquis Xuanping's waist and abdomen, saying, "The top Martial Marquis of the State of Zhao, Xiao Ji. I heard you have a waist injury. You are not my opponent. Are you sure you want to fight me alone? Very well, I'll give you three moves."

Marquis Xuanping sneered. Who said anything about a one-on-one fight? Wasn't a group brawl more fun?

"Chang Jing."

Marquis Xuanping lazily lifted his eyelids.
