chapter 762: kill a chicken translator: henyee translations editor: henyee translations
with qian fengâs shout, those soldiers all seemed to become hesitant.
he was someone with a great background, so was it really good to seize him? if they seized him now, wouldnât he just be released later?
qian wu yong, his majestyâs old friend and the empireâs outstanding minister, could his brother[1.ed/n: on a side note, it may not necessarily be direct blood brother... could also be a cousin. the author used a term that doesnât make much sense in english.] be touched?
âto hell with qian wu yong!â zhu long xin was even more arrogant. âmy sister is zhu xuan er, the future queen of great ling empire. seize this guy for this young master and lock him in the imperial prison for a few months!â
hu niu was instantly infuriatedâshe was ling hanâs queen!
ling han didnât bat an eyelid. he quite wanted to see how these soldiers would handle itâa microcosm of great ling empire.
âtwo young masters, donât cause a disturbance here, itâs bad influence. follow us to the imperial guard headquarters. we still need to go through the motions, after all,â an officer said, sounding very courteous.
although the two peopleâs identities werenât verified, it was the imperial capital, and how many people dared to cause a disturbance and recklessly give themselves an identityâespecially an honorable identity? their identities would definitely be checked and verified, and things obviously wouldnât end well for impersonators.
thus, the officer was very careful.
zhu long xin and qian feng, however, werenât willing to let the matter drop, and wanted the military official to seize the other person.
spoiled young men fighting over a womanâs favor also had to abide by the rules. it would be the end whenever one had the upper hand, and they normally wouldnât put the other party to death. after all, if all the spoiled young men were dead, who would see their show of authority?
ling han shook his head. the territory was expanding rapidly, but the entire countryâs caliber couldnât keep up. it was no wonder, as he only spoke of two articles, one of which was expansion, and the second was appease the citizenâs hearts. he didnât say to rule the country by high standards.
he stood up, and said, âseize them both, escort them to the east gate, and flog them a hundred times!â
âpah, who the hell are you to talk of beating us? do you know who my brother is?â qian feng shouted harshly. he was truly furious; even these soldiers treated him with respect, so who did he think he was?
âbrother, brother-in-law!â zhu long xin shouted in a pleasant surprise.
âyour majesty!â the soldiers all knelt down one after another.
y-your majesty?
qiang feng was struck dumb. this was great ling empireâs sovereign and the mightiest figure of north region nowadays, and he actually dared to snap at the other party? beyond everything, rain countryâs families were nothing after coming out of the fallen moon gorge, and their glory now was all thanks to ling hanâhe sure plucked up some courage.
ling han waved his hand, and said, âdrag them away for a flogging!â
âyes, your majesty!â those soldiers instantly became as fierce as tigers and wolves, for it was the reigning emperorâs decree.
âbrother-in-law, brother-in-law, why beat me too... sister, sister!â zhu long xin saw zhu xuan er and shouted in a hurry, obviously hoping his sister could appeal for mercy in his stead.
however, zhu xuan er only shook her head at him and didnât speak at all.
well, the two spoiled young men were both dragged awayâhow unfortunate for them to have bumped into the muzzle?
however, if it werenât for the chance encounter here, he really wouldnât have known that zhu long xin already came here. it was quite funny thinking about it; zhu long xin really had foresight when he called him brother-in-law.
returning to the imperial palace, ling han immediately set about the problem of strengthening the law and jurisdiction.
in reality, authority inevitably came with privileges, or why else would people revere authority? ling han didnât think to make every family clear like water; instead, there had to be a bottom line that mustnât be broken.
fighting and quarreling over a woman were small things, which he didnât need to be so strict about, but coercing women into prostitution, dominating someoneâs wife, and seizing property... such dirty dealings definitely needed to be eradicated.
punishing zhu long xin and qian feng in public today, he made them an example to others. just as he had conceived the thought, these two guys bumped right into him.
although the two of them were each whipped one hundred times, qian familyâs head entered the imperial palace and requested to meet at night, kneeling in penitence before ling han and pleading in a tearful voice as if a enormous sin had been committed.
ling hanâs tone was slightly stern, and he warned him to properly control the people of his family, drawing a bottom line for him. if this bottom line was crossed, he wouldnât care about friendship, and whoever needed to be killed would be killed.
the head of the qian family obeyed in fear. he was only in the spiritual pedestal tier, terrified just standing in front of ling han, so why would he dare to infuriate ling han? besides, qian family was currently a hundred times more imposing than back in the rain country, so why would he wish to be struck back into the original condition?
the second day, zhu long xin covered his butt and also went to see ling han.
earlier, since zhu xuan er left the imperial city with ling han, not many people believed him although he kept saying he was zhu xuan erâs younger brother. of course, not many people did anything to him, for what if it were true?
thus, his days passed by neither good nor bad. now that his brother-in-law finally returned, he was obviously going to be pettishly charming, and at best the title of some sort of king would be conferred to him. then, heâd be awe-inspiring and beat anyone who was an eyesore.
âbrother-in-law, i missed you so much!â he shouted right when they met and dove in front of ling han, tightly hugging his legs.
âhm, ling han, uncle rabbit didnât know you had such a grown son!â uncle rabbit teased.
âb-brother-in-law, are my eyes blurred, or is a rabbit talking?â zhu long xin instantly forgot to fawn over ling han and stared blankly at the rabbit with surprise all over his face.
âwhatâs so amazing about uncle rabbit talking? back in the day, uncle rabbit was unmatched in the world with unparalleled divine might, and who wasnât convinced?â the rabbit boasted.
zhu long xin didnât know better, still shocked by a rabbit that could talk, and he instantly held the rabbit in extreme reverence and began to lick its boots.
why, the rabbit really liked it and was very pleased, feeling that zhu long xin looked more and more pleasing to the eye.
in a mere two monthâs time, the north region was completely unified, and came under the jurisdiction of the great ling empire.
it was obviously because north regionâs martial arts level was too low; the strength of deity transformation tier could make a clean sweep, and with ling hanâs identity as a heaven grade alchemist, the resistance disintegrated after the half moon sect and the other five great forces surrendered.
in the following three regions, the west regionâs martial arts level was the lowest, but there were also deity transformation tier elites keeping watch. east region and north region both had heaven tier elites, and wouldnât be easy to seize. s~eaÊá´h the nôᴠelfirÑ.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
after north region was unified, ling han wasnât in a rush to march westward, and instead began to manage the army, picking out martial artists above the spiritual ocean tier to develop a high-end battle power with the methods of the purple moon empire.
after all, the other three regionsâ martial arts level was high. relying on normal soldiers would simply be a joke, for elites could kill a whole field of them just by waving a hand, and all of great ling empireâs property would have to be spent on paying compensation.
ling han didnât lack high-level mystic artsâhe obviously could imitate the purple moon empireâwhich were also the most enticing for martial artists.
in the north region, spiritual ocean tier warriors could surely be called experts, and, originally, these people disdained to join the army. but now, each one of them strived to enlist as if in fear that the mystic arts would seized by others if they fell behind.
moreover, ling han also had the black tower to provide medicinal ingredients, and was even a heaven grade alchemist. the alchemist society also served him, and adding medicinal pills as part of the rewards also had a positive effectâthe circumstances were gratifying.
on this day, ling han was in the royal court, discussing with all the ministers about the expedition to the west region, when an elite barged into the palace with a disdainful look.
âwhoâs the one that can make decisions here?â the person said loftily.
