The guards of the Wei Family could do whatever they wanted in the Canyon Peak District not only because of the protection of the City Lord, but also because they were all ruthless. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen by the Wei Family. The previous City Lord, Wei Zhong, was a man who paid great attention to efficiency. The ten guards under his command all had their own duties and were all outstanding. Although most of them had died along with Wei Zhong in this year, and the new generation of guards was still a little immature like City Lord Wei Tianqi, Wei Chao and Wei Yang were both chosen by the previous City Lord. If Wei Yang was valued more for his talent and future, Wei Chao had long won Wei Zhong's trust and was put in an important position. The security of the City Lord's Mansion was entrusted to him.
When it came to Wei Tianqi, Wei Chao became the head of the twelve guards. In the Canyon Peak District, it could be said that Wei Chao was under one person and above tens of thousands of people, so there wouldn't be many people who would object.
However, such a person was killed by Lu Ping with a wave of his hand. The elites of the Canyon Peak District were not prepared at all. They could only watch as Wei Chao's body suddenly lost its strength and suddenly fell to the ground.
"You!" Someone glared at Lu Ping angrily. He had just shouted at Lu Ping, and he would lose his life.
Two shouts, two lives.
One was under one person in the Canyon Peak District. The other one, Lu Ping didn't even know, but the others did. This person, like Ding Mao, was a deputy who often accompanied Ding Mao. He was a rank five official in the Xuan Army Empire, but he was also killed by Lu Ping with a wave of his hand.
The spacious courtyard suddenly quieted down.
Compared to the empire's dignity and the crime of trespassing into the city lord's territory, the oppressive feeling of Lu Ping, who had just raised his hand and killed someone, was much more pressing. At this moment, everyone forgot their duty.
"Where are the people of my Zhenfeng College?" They heard Lu Ping ask again. He wasn't asking all of them, but Lu Ping's gaze and words were very clear — Wei Yang.
Wei Yang's pants were wet.
This time, it was somewhat unreasonable to use sweat as an explanation. Sweat would not start to drip so quickly. Even if he used any special ability, it would not be possible to make his sweat surge in an instant. Moreover, the practitioners with a keen sense of smell had already smelled the strange smell.
Everyone looked at Wei Yang with shock and disdain in their eyes. Such a person was actually standing in the same team as them. They all felt that they had lost face. However, this more or less stimulated everyone's fighting spirit and reminded them of their duty. However, when they looked at Lu Ping again, their eyes were no longer as murderous. Everyone seemed to be thinking about the possibility of solving the problem without using force.
But in the end, no one said anything. The two people who had spoken earlier had immediately lost their lives. Lu Ping's attack had already made them realize something.
The last one to speak was Ding Mao.
"Lu Ping, have you thought about the consequences of your actions?" His voice was also as calm as possible. He didn't want to be killed after just saying a few words. How did Lu Ping kill those two people? He couldn't even see clearly, let alone resist. At this time, he spoke because he was ready to sacrifice himself. He had the courage to die a martyr.
"I have thought about it. The ones who haven't thought about the consequences of their actions are you guys." Lu Ping's answer was very straightforward, leaving Ding Mao somewhat speechless. The other party had already thought about the consequences. What could he use to threaten them? What could he use to make the other party feel afraid? As for the second half of Lu Ping's sentence, he didn't take it to heart. Consequences of actions? This kind of thing had always been decided by them, the rulers. When did they need to consider the consequences of their actions?
"Zhenfeng College has just been approved to be restored. Aren't you putting the college on fire again by doing this?" Someone at the side saw that Ding Mao wasn't immediately killed by Lu Ping. He finally mustered up his courage and tried to speak calmly.
"Yes, it has just been approved to be restored. That's why I also don't understand why our people were captured." Lu Ping said.
Everyone looked at Wei Yang. At this time, if Wei Chao was still here, he might be able to think of some confusing remarks. But after Wei Chao was killed, Wei Yang's mind had already gone blank. At this time, survival was more important than anything else. However, he didn't realize that the key to his survival was to immediately remove his hostile relationship with Lu Ping. He looked at the people around him, disregarding the wet lower half of his body. He shouted anxiously and fearfully, "Don't you guys feel that the restoration of Zhenfeng College is very strange? Don't you understand that this is just a delaying tactic by the central government? Kill Lu Ping! Destroy Zhai Feng! This is what we should do when we serve our country! "
These words were said from the bottom of his heart, expressing his true intentions. But when everyone looked at him, it was as if they were looking at an idiot.
How could the officials of the Xuan Army Empire not think about the strange things like restoring Zhai Feng and canceling the arrest warrant? This was especially true in the Canyon Peak District. After all, this case was started by them. A few days ago, Lu Ping and the others had returned to rebuild the college. Everyone couldn't help but be concerned about this matter. After all, they all knew that City Lord Wei Tianzhong had a feud with Lu Ping and the others. They weren't surprised by his attitude towards' doing things at their own convenience '. Everyone was more or less mentally prepared.
But Wei Yang's words were extremely stupid in the eyes of everyone.
No matter what the intentions of the central government of the empire were, since they didn't say it out loud, it wasn't convenient to point it out. Everyone could do things at their own convenience, but when it came to doing things, there wasn't even a single chicken feather that could be used as a token of authority. It was fine as long as everyone had a tacit understanding.
But now, Wei Yang wanted to point out this tacit understanding and reveal the hidden intentions of the central government. At this time, even if he wanted to die for the Xuan Army Empire, the central government would probably only want to tell him to scram. This was basically pushing him onto the path of death.
And now, while everyone despised Wei Yang's stupidity, they were also glad that he was an idiot. If it wasn't for his stupidity, there would be no way out now. They might even have to fight this traitor who broke into the City Lord's residence to the end. But now …
There were too many intelligent people gathered here. In an instant, Wei Yang became the target of everyone's condemnation. What 'being greedy for grandiose achievements', what 'distorting the will of the higher-ups', what 'using official power for personal gain', what 'sowing discord', anything that could be slandered was all thrown onto Wei Yang's head by everyone's imagination.
Wei Yang was dumbfounded. Lu Ping was also dumbfounded. He didn't care at all how disgusting Wei Yang was or how big of a crime he had committed. From the beginning to the end, he only cared about one thing.
"Where are our people from Zhenfeng College?" Amidst everyone's deep hatred for Wei Yang, Lu Ping's question was like a clear stream.
The pitiful question no longer needed Wei Yang. There were too many people who knew how to judge the situation. Someone immediately jumped out and said, "I know."
The condemnation of Wei Yang finally stopped for a moment. Everyone looked at Lu Ping with apologetic eyes.
