The Great Seminary

Chapter 131 Fate of Gray and Black

At this time, King Zhen's reputation was growing in the court and among the people of the Song and Ming empires.

With every day that passes, the implicit influence increases.

But at the same time, he was also increasingly out of the control of his father, Emperor Hezheng.

In this situation.

If Prince Zhen's rise to power had not been so sudden and sudden, Emperor Hezheng would not have been able to find a good excuse to transfer him back to the capital.

It is still unknown what kind of tricks this emperor with high aspirations but poor skills will come up with.

You must know that the 'royal family' is the most heartless.

In the face of that supreme power, there are countless people who kill their sons and fathers, bully their brothers, and poison their mothers.

So when Lu Zhenduan heard Zhang Gui say "Let Your Majesty make the final decision", he was startled.

The sweat on my body has subsided a lot.

Although he is one of the students of the Imperial College in Prince Zhen's "pocket", he is a mediocre person who is older and lacks the ability to do things.

Otherwise, while the rest of his classmates followed Xingzai to migrate to Xiangrong Island and Gyeongsang Province to make achievements, his only son would not have stayed in Zhihai Town in the desolate mountains and fought against Zhang Gui.

But no matter how mediocre Lu Zhenduan was, he was still a mediocre talent in the Imperial College. Among ordinary scholars, he was still a smart person who could be made into a living monkey if he had hair stuck on him.

When the time came, he no longer pretended to be confident and jumped up.

"How dare you, Yang!"

"If His Majesty Prince Zhen is still in Zhihai Town;

Or if he heard that I had returned to Zhihai Town in a swagger, he would come back immediately to punish me. Naturally, I wouldn't dare to do that.

But will His Royal Highness Prince Zhen abandon the overall interests of Xianrong Island and rush back to the East Continent just because he dislikes a small, insignificant official like me?

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenduan knew that it was impossible for him to suppress Zhang Gui, so he stopped talking, snorted coldly, and walked away with big strides.

Seemingly more cocky than usual.

But he knew that he had been going to "Dagui Grocery and Sauce Factory" for three meals a day in recent days, eating noodles wrapped in shrimp paste until he vomited, and finally waited for Zhang Gui to come.

Not only did he fail to gain the upper hand, but he was made to feel ashamed by a few words from others who saw through the truth.

You can only leave in disgrace.

Zhang Gui looked at Lu Zhenduan, who was clearly beaten to a pulp by his verbal battle but whose back remained straight as he walked away, and he actually looked up to him.

"This person knew he had no chance to take advantage of anything, so he immediately admitted defeat and left, not discouraged by his defeat.

He does have some bearing.

It seems that Prince Zhen really has the "aura of a king". Otherwise, a young and energetic prince who had no real power before leaving the capital would have gathered so many talented people around him.

It’s really inexplicable.”

Since ancient times, those founding emperors and heroic rulers have risen to power.

There will inevitably be famous ministers and generals who appear only once every fifty, one hundred or even three hundred years, and they will appear in large numbers like carrots and potatoes and be used by the emperor.

And this is the so-called great fortune of "becoming king or emperor".

When there are too many people with this kind of luck in an era, it will form a "era of great contention"!
Lu Zhenduan didn't know that Zhang Gui's opinion of him was actually quite high. He just felt that his face was burning with pain as if someone had slapped him in the face.

Return to the old village yamen where King Zhen’s residence was located in Zhihai Town.

He immediately summoned a group of men he had just conquered to plan a retreat.

When King Zhen first rose to power in Zhihai Town, although he made a great name for himself, he actually had few soldiers under his command.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lu Zhenduan to control many people. After a new situation was created on Xianrong Island, Zhihai Town's weight in King Zhen's power struggle was greatly reduced.

This forced him to find ways to poach Zhang Gui's people.

After King Zhen rose to power, he became unrivaled in Siyang County, and the appeal of his "camp" naturally increased greatly.

In addition, no one except Zhang Gui himself knew that he left the fiefdom during the war because of the sudden rise of his "inner demon".

It makes one's morality appear flawed and gives people a legitimate reason to betray.

Of course, what is more important is that people will seek benefits and avoid harm.

One is a prince who may ascend the throne in the future and is currently in the limelight; the other is a barbarian general who has gained his fortune by taking advantage of opportunities and flattery.

Even if the former has no gratitude and the latter has helped them, many people will choose to change their allegiance.

Among them was Zhao Fucheng, who was promoted by Zhang Gui as one of the first fake guards and taken back to his hometown to set up a facade and do purchasing.

At this time, we were in the main hall of the old village government office.

He and a dozen generals of the Dragon and Tiger Shogunate looked at Lu Zhenduan, whose face was as gloomy as water, and waited for a long time.

The adults in the hall remained silent.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Actually, Yang Longhu has done me a favor, so there are some things I really can't say.

But when Zhihai Town was in danger, he fled in front of the enemy, which was a completely despicable act.

If one violates the military law of "Fourteen Beheadings on the Battlefield", he should be beheaded in public.

Lu Zaicheng, why don't you present this to Prince Zhen..."

A traitor, especially one who was once valued by his former master, cannot face his old master and even less his present self.

They often do things more ruthlessly and cruelly.

However, although Lu Zhenduan understood this principle, he was still dismayed when he saw Zhao Fucheng, a tall and strong man with handsome features and a righteous face, trying so hard to frame his former benefactor.

Still, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit disgusted.

And this is also part of human nature.

What's more, Lu Zhenduan now understands that he cannot defeat Zhang Gui at all.

Zhao Fucheng's evil plan was not to embarrass Zhang Gui, but to expose his incompetent "mask".

Naturally, he became even more angry and irritated.

I can only say dryly: "Now it is a national affair..."

Just as he was thinking about how to shirk responsibility, Lu Zhenduan suddenly saw Zhao Fucheng's strong body shaking slightly.

A few drops of bright red blood dripped from his nostrils.

The man suddenly stiffened and collapsed to the ground.

"Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao..."

Lu Zhenduan was stunned, walked down the hall a few steps, and reached out to feel Zhao Fucheng's pulse.

Then his expression changed slightly and he shouted:
"Xu Baiwei, go and quickly invite the doctor to come and diagnose Captain Zhao.

Remember to make it clear that the patient is barely breathing and must bring Shengmai Drink to save his life."

Human lives are at stake, and everyone is in the same "camp". No matter how unpleasant what Zhao Fucheng does, Lu Zhenduan must do it to save face.

And that 'Shengmai Drink' only has two medicinal ingredients.

One is old mountain ginseng; the other is green winter wheat.

It's very hot when used.

Without any medicine guide, chopsticks are used to support the patient's throat and the medicine is poured into the stomach.

Then either you will come back to life and recover calmly, or you will die and never be able to survive.

Therefore, this Shengmai Drink is equivalent to the "Resurrection Pill" in the mortal world.

Even if it is not even one cent as good as the elixir made with extraordinary secret methods, it is still worth ten taels of gold.

It would be a waste to use it on Zhao Fucheng at this time.

Outside the old village yamen.

Zhang Gui calmed down his newly acquired unique, seven-colored main god cluster 'Fated to be Gray and Black'.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he murmured to himself:
"Life is gray and black, life is gray and black.

If the noble and dignified King Zhen were to fall for this trick of mine, he would be in super light gray and probably wouldn't even sneeze.

But if you, Zhao Fucheng, were to encounter this, your future would be completely dark. How could you continue to live?"
