Falling Out
"The last time I summoned them to Excalibur to discuss defense matters, not only did they not show up, they did not even inform me. This Marquis was magnanimous and did not pursue the matter. This is the first time!"
Luo Zheng said expressionlessly, "The second time was in the main tent just now. I wanted to be lenient and only punish them with a hundred strokes. However, these seven people did not show any gratitude and instead spoke rudely. They threatened to make me a mere figurehead and wanted to leave. The six old generals saw this with their own eyes and can prove it. Therefore, these seven people's crimes are unforgivable. It's not that I don't want to give face to the three elders!"
"The last time this Luo Zheng gathered the 24 Generals and headed to the Immortal Sword Merchant Union, it was to establish his might and foreshadow today!"
"How old is this child? How could he be so calculative? How frightening!"
When the three elders heard this, their faces turned stiff and ugly.
Right now, Luo Zheng was in the right. Even if this matter was brought to the Yellow Heavenly King, it would be of no use.
"Marquis, the seven of them did not do well this time. However, if they are beaten with eight hundred strokes, even if they don't die, they will be crippled. Among the seven, there are not only members of the Zhou family, but also members of the Ji family, the Wang family, and the other four families of the Heaven Court. Marquis's purpose is to establish his authority. Now that two of them have been punished, it should be enough. "
The three secretly communicated with each other through telepathy. Zhou Huai lowered his voice and said, "Marquis, what will it take for you to let them go?"
"Let them go?"
Luo Zheng revealed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since Elder Zhou is so direct, I will not waste words. Let these seven people withdraw from the Yellow Heavenly Guard and I will let them go! Oh right, there are eleven people who are not present today. Five of them are in the Heaven Court to carry out military duties. The other six must withdraw on their own! "
"What? Master Marquis Shenjian, you are asking for too much. Not to mention our Zhou family, even the other families will not agree!"
Zhou Huai's expression changed drastically.
As the Ten Great Elders, the three of them were powerful and influential. They were willing to submit this time because they wanted to protect their clans' influence in the Yellow Sky Guards.
Now, Luo Zheng's condition was for them to withdraw from the Imperial Guard. This was simply impossible.
Moreover, the Zhou Huai, Wang Kai, and Guo Zhi families had more than one general's influence in the Imperial Guard.
Other than the seven people who were being punished, there were also six generals from the Yellow Heaven Court who were not present. Among them were members of the Zhou, Wang, and Guo families.
If they agreed, the power of the three families in the Wei Army would be swept clean.
"Luo Zheng, don't go too far!"
"Humph, we three Great Elders are negotiating with you in a friendly manner. Is this how you deal with us?"
Wang Kai and Guo Zhi were enraged, their faces twisted in anger.
Touching their influence in the Yellow Sky Guards was equivalent to shaking their foundation.
If Luo Zheng really wanted to do this, they would definitely jump up and fight Luo Zheng to the death!
"Heh, heh, if you don't want to accept, then forget it. After the execution, I'll find the other six people and punish them with 800 strokes of the rod. Then, I'll send them to the Yellow Sky Realm for the Immortal King to deal with!"
Luo Zheng was unconcerned and laughed coldly. "However, I don't know if these people will be able to endure 800 strokes of the rod until they see the Immortal King!"
After saying this, Luo Zheng immediately turned hostile and signaled for the black yak to attack.
This time, the black yak no longer held back. Every stroke of the rod was full force, waking up the unconscious Zhou Yucai.
"Brat, you're really shameless!"
Zhou Huai was so angry that he trembled. He glared at Luo Zheng as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
However, they were now in the Yellow Sky Guards. Even if they had reason, they couldn't attack Luo Zheng, let alone without any justification.
Otherwise, the Yellow Heavenly King would be furious.
"You demon, stop! How dare you hit a member of the Zhou family? I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
Zhou Huai saw that Zhou Yucai was being beaten by the black yak to the point of vomiting blood. If this continued, he would definitely die. He immediately glared at the black yak and roared.
This Zhou Huai was also an expert in the early stage of the Profound Sky Realm. As he spoke, a terrifying aura immediately erupted and enveloped the black yak, forcing him to stop!
"Heh, old man, you dare to attack your Grandpa Ox? Grandpa Ox guarantees that the person who will die without a burial place will be you! "
However, the black yak didn't care at all. Instead, he was incomparably arrogant and used even more force with the rod in his hand.
When Zhou Huai's aura came into contact with the black yak, it disappeared without a trace. It was no threat at all.
"Elder Zhou, you're so mighty. How dare you act so arrogantly in the Yellow Sky Guards? I'll definitely report this to the Immortal King!"
The corner of Luo Zheng's mouth curled up, and there was a hint of mockery in his voice.
Just now, when the soldiers came to report that the three elders had come, Luo Zheng secretly sent the Gates of No Return to the black yak.
