High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

Zheng Shaoqiu's face immediately turned ugly.

He originally wanted to find fault with Li Mo and take the opportunity to curry favor with his superiors, but now he has lost more than he gained.

Originally, as a deputy minister of the military supplies department, he did not have the authority to arrest Li Mo. After all, even a minister would need the marshal's approval to capture Li Mo.

Zheng Shao Kui did this simply to make a name for himself at this sensitive time. If he could really take down Li Mo, the government's top officials would also try to speak up for him.

However, given the current situation, not only is he unable to capture Li Mo, but he is also very likely to be abandoned by the higher-ups.

After all, Li Mo was the greatest contributor to this war. If Li Mo was innocent, no one would dare to offend him, including the six highest-ranking officials in the government. This would be tantamount to offending a national hero.

Zheng Shao-kui, being a shrewd politician, immediately adopted a fawning expression and said, "It's a misunderstanding! General Li, it's all a misunderstanding! My subordinate gave false military intelligence! Don't worry, I'll have him dealt with immediately!"

Zheng Shaoqiu pulled out his subordinates to take the blame, but how could such a trick fool Li Mo?

Zheng Shaoqiu needs Li Mo to secure his future advancement, while Li Mo also needs someone to establish his authority!

Although most of the government opposed Li Mo's garrison in the Mississippi Mountains, Li Mo could not really go against the entire government.

It's not advisable to directly clash with those six supreme authorities, but it's different for Vice Minister Zheng Shao-kui.

Li Mo's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Zheng Shaoqiu, Deputy Minister of the Quartermaster Department, you are of the same rank as me. Even if I were to make a mistake, I don't think you have the right to punish me, do you?"

Sensing the solemn and murderous aura that only came from someone who had fought his way back from the battlefield, Zheng Shaoqiu was immediately terrified and his legs went weak.

Politicians are most afraid of soldiers like this!

After all, they had never been on the battlefield.

"That's right! That's right! I was confused! I apologize..."

Zheng Shaoqiu quickly seized the opportunity to apologize.

However, Li Mo wasn't about to let him off so easily. He continued, "If everyone in the government were like you, would anyone still be willing to join the army and serve their country?"

At this point, Li Mo glanced around, his expression turning extremely cold.

Because what he was about to say wasn't just for Zheng Shaoqiu's ears, but for everyone in the parliament hall at that moment!

"You all witnessed what this scoundrel did to me today! I will punish him accordingly. Anyone object?"

Li Mo's words were meant to see who would dare to protect Zheng Shao Kui in front of a national hero.

As he expected, none of the hundreds of high-ranking government officials in the vast Capitol dared to speak, including the six supreme authorities.

"Zheng Jiahao, Xu Feng!"

Then Li Mo waved his hand, and soon Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng walked up to Zheng Shaoqiu.

Despite being the deputy minister of the military supplies department, Zheng Shaoqiu was merely a Foundation Establishment stage warrior. He was utterly powerless against the two Blood Transformation stage warriors and was easily lifted up by them.

"What are you trying to do? Is this some kind of vigilante justice? I'm warning you, I am the Deputy Minister of the Supply Department of the Great Xia Dynasty. You have no right to use vigilante justice against me. I..."

Before Zheng Shaoqiu could finish speaking, Zheng Jiahao slapped him hard across the face.

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the entrance to the entire Capitol.

Zheng Jiahao used considerable force in this slap; with just one strike, he was left with a bruised and swollen face, a bump almost the size of a fist on his face, with blood and snot flowing freely.

Zheng Shaoqiu was completely stunned by the beating, and even his accent became somewhat unclear.

"I...you..."

Before Zheng Shaoqiu could refute, Xu Feng's next slap landed on Zheng Shaoqiu's other intact cheek.

Now, Zheng Shaoqiu's face was completely devoid of any intact flesh, a truly horrific sight.

"Forty slaps to the face! Every single one!"

Li Mo's words foreshadowed the hell Zheng Shao Kui was about to face.

Li Mo is probably the only person in the entire calendar who has ever dared to slap the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Military Supplies in front of the Capitol.

He didn't just slap Zheng Shaoqiu in the face, but the face of all the top government officials!

Even if the government leaders dare not speak out against it now, it is inevitable that they will form a grudge.

However, Li Mo was not afraid at all. His garrison in the Mississippi Mountains was already going to offend all the high-ranking government officials, let alone this little bit!

The crisp sound of slapping began to echo throughout the entire Capitol building. Some high-ranking government officials inside couldn't stand it and tried to go out to stop Li Mo.

"That Li Mo is absolutely inhuman! Zheng Shaoqiu is at least the Deputy Minister of the Quartermaster Department, does he want to beat someone to death?"

"A devil! An absolute devil! No one in military history has ever dared to be so arrogant! To allow such a devil to become a major general is a dereliction of duty on the part of the military!"

Before they could rush out, they were stopped.

"Old Jiang, Old Gu, do you two also want to rush out and get beaten up? Don't think that just because you're old, Li Mo won't dare to make a move! Don't forget what Li Mo did in Beijing before!"

There were some smart people in the government who stopped the two elderly officials.

The two officials, referred to as Elder Jiang and Elder Gu, were terrified when they thought about what Li Mo had done in the capital.

In fact, Li Mo's deeds at Xingkong University have already spread throughout the entire Beijing circle.

At that time, Li Mo was just a sergeant, yet he dared to ruthlessly kill the entire senior management of Starry Sky University, and even ignored the threat from the martial god of Starry Sky University!

At that time, Li Mo had already earned a famous nickname in the circles of Beijing.

"The Little Devil of Beijing"!

The meaning of "Little Devil of the Capital" is that Li Mo is young but reckless, acts without regard for consequences, and causes trouble like a devil.

Li Mo's ability to slap the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Supplies in full view of everyone shows that he doesn't respect the high-ranking government officials in the Capitol at all.

No one can save Zheng Shao Kui until these forty slaps are finished.

"Arrogant and conceited! How despicable! How despicable!"

"A monster! A real monster! How could such a person appear in the army! He's completely unreasonable!"

At this point, people inside the government building only dared to complain behind their backs.

A moment later, Li Mo finally finished slapping Zheng Shaoqiu forty times, leaving him barely alive.

With his last breath, he finally managed to appeal to his backers, the higher-ups who were truly after Li Mo, for help.

"Mr. Jiang! Help! Help me!"

As soon as he uttered those words, a sound finally echoed from inside the Capitol.

"Li Mo, this is Jiang Wanchao! Enough! Today is a day for celebration and awards, don't let it escalate to the point of causing death!"

This Jiang Wanchao is one of the six supreme powers in the Great Xia Dynasty!

A true national figure!
