The Northern Yamen commandant had personally gone to clear the area, so Jiang Mengxiong had no time to argue with him.
The trouble that Wang Yiwu had caused really made him feel that it was very troublesome.
"Old Master." Jiang Mengxiong slowly said, "Of course you are the hereditary Marquis of Bowang. No one dares to disrespect you, and this marshal will not allow anyone to disrespect the marquis of Da Qi. But Yiwu did such a foolish thing because of your grandson, your other grandson. I was not in Linzi during this time, so you should know better than I do. "
Using Jung Genzun to speak was a brilliant move.
The competition between Chung Geng Sheng and Jung Genzun was unfolding. Before the outcome was decided, Chongxuan Yun Bo would not express his stance.
But if Wang Yiwu and Jung Genzun were tied together, Chongxuan Yun Bo's continued pressure would be tantamount to expressing his support for Chung Geng Sheng.
The current head of the clan being unjust was a taboo in internal competition. Countless tragedies in the history books could serve as a lesson.
At this time, Zhongxuan Sheng took the opportunity to interrupt. He looked at Jiang Mengxiong, his face full of astonishment. His expression was very accurate. "You mean to say that Wang Yiwu wanted to kill me because of Brother Zun's instructions?"
"No! This was my own idea! "
Wang Yiwu, who had been silent since the appearance of the war god, immediately spoke up.
This responsibility was too great. He could not allow Chung Geng Sheng to push the blame onto Jung Genzun.
Internal competition was normal in the great clans, but it was rare for it to develop into a life-and-death struggle. This was because there was a bottom line in any clan's internal competition.
In Junggenjia, Chongxuan Yun Bo was the one who controlled this bottom line.
If Chung Geng Sheng was allowed to confirm this accusation, Jung Genzun would no longer have any hope of becoming the head of the clan.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Mengxiong sighed in his heart.
He used this ingenious move to dissolve the pressure from Marquis Bowang Chongxuan and Yunbo, but Wang Yiwu himself gave up.
In other words, it was Chung Geng Sheng who "forced" him to give up.
It wasn't that Wang Yiwu didn't understand, it wasn't that he didn't understand, but he would rather shoulder it himself.
As the God of War, he could not understand such a failed choice. But as a master, he understood his disciple.
"Your own idea?" There was no reason for Chung Geng Sheng not to pursue the matter. He angrily asked, "What enmity do we have for you to hate me so much?"
Wang Yiwu fell silent again.
He understood very well. He was no match for Chung Geng Sheng when it came to bickering. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He just needed to express his attitude, take responsibility, and try his best not to implicate Jung Genzun. Although he had committed a crime in the city this time, no matter what, people would link it to Zhong Xuan Zun. But as long as he didn't say anything, even a little bit of suspicion wouldn't be able to shake Zhong Xuan Zun's foundation.
Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with Jung Genzun. It was indeed his own decision. Jung Genzun was still in Jixia Academy. If news could really spread, the situation wouldn't have turned out this way.
Jiang Mengxiong spoke at this moment. "Fortunately, the worst outcome didn't happen. The Son of Buddha's injuries aren't too serious. He will recover after some treatment. I'll get the Marshal's Residence to send some spirit herbs over … "
Chung Geng Sheng used his left hand to lift his crippled right hand and then let it fall limply.
This action was sad and weak.
He used his actions to respond to Jiang Mengxiong's words. This is called 'not too serious'?
"Marshal." Chung Geng Sheng pointed at Jiang Wang again. "If the man from Qingyang Town hadn't seen the situation and risked his life to save me, I wouldn't have been injured. I don't need to continue discussing the severity of my injuries. "
Ever since Jiang Mengxiong appeared, Jiang Wang had been holding his sword and hovering motionlessly.
He had been locked onto by Jiang Mengxiong's aura, and he felt like he was falling into an endless abyss. That continuous and terrifying feeling of weightlessness and the threat of death hovering in front of him were enough to make one's mind collapse.
However, Jiang Wang held on with his rock-solid willpower and didn't lose his composure at all.
Chongxuan Chu Liang noticed and even wanted to attack!
It was also the two marquises, Chongxuan Chu Liang and Chongxuan Yun Bo, who appeared one after another to divert Jiang Mengxiong's attention. It wasn't until now that Chung Geng Sheng was able to turn the topic to Jiang Wang.
And he defined Jiang Wang's behavior as soon as he opened his mouth. He didn't want to do anything to Wang Yiwu, but he did it to save his close friend. Logically speaking, he shouldn't take any responsibility, even if he almost killed Wang Yiwu!
He also pointed out Jiang Wang's identity. Although this noble title was pitifully small, he was still protected by Qi. He belonged to Qi and was someone who had made contributions to Qi.
If Jiang Mengxiong wanted to do something, he had to consider what everyone in the world would say.
Jiang Mengxiong didn't say anything about it, but the terrifying pressure Jiang Wang faced disappeared. It was a pressure that almost crushed him into meat paste, but he withstood it. Although his muscles were trembling uncontrollably, his hand holding the sword was still stable. All of his control was concentrated on this hand and this sword.
And this performance was not overlooked by the people present … and it was impossible for anyone to overlook him.
When Chongxuan and Chu Liang appeared, it was clear that they were protecting Jiang Wang.
But there was a trick to this "protection". If he directly talked about Jiang Wang, he would put himself in a passive position. So he didn't mention Jiang Wang and only asked for an explanation from Chung Geng Sheng.
In any case, Jiang Wang forced Wang Yiwu into a desperate situation with his sword and forced the War God to descend. This kind of Jiang Wang deserved more investment from Junggenjia. From today onwards, more people would start to pay attention to him.
Of course, Jiang Mengxiong wouldn't argue with a junior, but Chung Geng Sheng's attitude was very clear. Wang Yiwu's actions this time had indeed crossed the line. If it were any of the top aristocratic families, they wouldn't let it go, let alone a fierce person like Chongxuan and Chu Liang.
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Jiang Mengxiong asked Han Ling.
Han Ling bowed respectfully and said, "Before coming here, Your Majesty said that Wang Yiwu is a soldier. The Grand Marshal can make all the decisions in the army. "
Jiang Mengxiong's face was expressionless. He only said, "I understand."
Not having an opinion was the biggest opinion.
Wang Yiwu was too presumptuous this time. Finally, His Majesty was annoyed and didn't want to protect him.
He said that Jiang Mengxiong could make decisions in the military. This was indeed a great trust. However, putting aside the master-disciple relationship between Wang Yiwu and Jiang Mengxiong, only his identity as a soldier was mentioned.
Jiang Mengxiong was the Grand Marshal of the State. In name, he was in charge of all the troops in Qi. If he couldn't be fair in rewards and punishments, how could he manage the army?
After a moment of silence, Jiang Mengxiong spoke again, "This time, it was indeed Wang Yiwu's fault."
He finally relented and publicly admitted that the responsibility was on Wang Yiwu.
He looked at Wang Yiwu and said, "Seeing that you have been on the battlefield for many years and have contributed to the country, I won't kill you for now. From now on, I will imprison you in the death row prison camp. If there is a battle, you will be the vanguard and lead the death row prisoners to break through the enemy lines! The period will be three years. During this period, you are not allowed to take a step into Linzi. Do you accept this? "
Wang Yiwu was expressionless. He had made the choice himself. Of course, he had the courage to bear it.
Thus, he lowered his head and said, "I accept the punishment!"
Jiang Mengxiong looked at his disciple for a while before turning to Chongxuan Chu Liang and Chongxuan Yun Bo. He said, "Marquis Bowang, Marquis Dingyuan, what do you think?"
With him watching over, Wang Yiwu wouldn't really be in danger of dying. However, this move dealt a huge blow to Wang Yiwu's prestige, causing him to have to put in more effort every time he was promoted in the military. Everyone would know that he was someone who had been to the death row prison camp! Would his subordinates be willing to obey him? Would his superiors be willing to trust him?
Being forced to send his last disciple to the death row prison camp, Jiang Mengxiong couldn't hide his anger. Thus, he no longer called him "Chu Liang" or "Old Master". Instead, he directly called him by his name. This meant that he had to do things according to the rules.
Of course, whether this anger was truly unconcealable or just for others to see through, the person who saw it had to carefully consider it.
Chongxuan Yun Bo was expressionless. His emotions were hidden under his wrinkles, making it difficult for others to notice.
Chongxuan Chu Liang looked at Chung Geng Sheng. "Sheng 'er, you're the victim's family. What do you think?"
Chung Geng Sheng naturally wasn't satisfied!
Although he said he was imprisoned in the death row prison camp, who in the military would really treat the Army God's disciple as a death row prisoner? Moreover, he had personally witnessed Wang Yiwu plucking the Weapon Master Mystical Ability. This Mystical Ability was suitable for growth in war. Although Jiang Mengxiong said he was punishing his disciple, it was more accurate to say that he was teaching according to his aptitude!
Even though he knew that this was very likely the best outcome. No matter what, Jiang Mengxiong couldn't let Wang Yiwu die.
This was already the best outcome, wasn't it? There was nothing left to fight for, right? Almost everyone was thinking the same thing.
In all these years, no one had ever asked the Army God to give way!
Today, the Junggenjia had already displayed the strength of a top-notch family with two marquises. Jiang Mengxiong had also given them enough face.
Chung Geng Sheng was a smart person. He would only take advantage of the situation to obtain sufficient benefits. He knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Many people in Linzi were paying attention to the competition between Chung Geng Sheng and Jung Genzun. Many people in Linzi "understood" Chung Geng Sheng. Therefore, they all felt that this was the final outcome.
This was the best outcome that the Junggenjia could fight for.
This wasn't shameful. Instead, it was shocking. Because he was facing the Army God of a generation, Da Qi's one and only National Marshal, Jiang Mengxiong!
However, who really understood Chung Geng Sheng? They understood this young man who gambled too much. They understood this fatty who wouldn't wake up early without benefits.
Jiang Wang pursed his lips and held his sword. He wanted to say something, but he knew that he didn't have the strength to say anything. Therefore, he remained silent.
Perhaps only he understood. Perhaps only he and … Shisi, who was lying on the ground in silence, understood.
However, his silence was just silence. Shisi's silence was devoid of life.
The living and the dead had no choice but to remain silent.
"Uncle." Chung Geng Sheng turned around so that others couldn't see his expression.
He repeated, "Uncle."
His biological father, Chongxuan Fu Tu, died early. Since he was young, Chongxuan Chu Liang had been his support. This kind of relationship was something that even his grandfather, Chongxuan Yun Bo, couldn't compare to.
Only in front of Zhongxuan Chu Liang would he be able to reveal his weakness.
His voice became very low. It was a kind of depression that couldn't bear the burden and was exhausted.
"He killed Shisi."
He looked at Chongxuan Chu Liang.
Tears flowed out.
