C14 Dispute in front of the Hall

Everyone from the Xiao family went pale and retreated.

The old lady's face was also filled with panic. Although she came from the Great Tang's Zhou family, she was only at the Great Martial Master Cultivation. She was usually arrogant and bossy, but she had never encountered such a murderous aura. Her face was pale, and she kept retreating.

Xiao Zhizhu saw that something was wrong, so he quickly took a step forward. He cupped his hands and bowed, "Brother Zhong, please calm your anger. It was our fault that Jianren injured nephew Zhong Xiu while riding a horse on the street. Now that Jianren has been punished and has become a cripple, please let him go."

"Hmph, let him go. My son is a single descendant of three generations. If it wasn't for the supreme grade Pill Medicine that was passed down from my ancestors, I wouldn't have lost my son!" The sharp aura condensed between Zhong Wuli's brows pressed against Xiao Zhizhu.

"Brother Zhong, please calm your anger. Now that nephew Zhong Xiu is fine, we were wrong in this matter first. How about we double the compensation for that Pill Medicine?" Xiao Zhizhu was frightened by Zhong Wuli's imposing manner.

"Humph, you are quite sensible. Sixth Grade Good Fortune Pill. We have been friends for a long time, and we are both officials of the same dynasty. There is no need to double the amount, just compensate ten million gold coins." Zhong Wuli sheathed his saber.

Ten million!

Xiao Zhizhu felt bitter in his heart. One gold coin was enough for an ordinary family to live for a year. Ten million gold coins would definitely hurt the Xiao Family.

"What's wrong? Too much? That's a tier 6 Pill Medicine. There aren't any tier 6 alchemists in the entire Liang Country. Even ten million might not be enough to buy it! " Zhong Wuli widened his eyes and was about to show his might again.

"No problem, no problem. We'll gather enough money and send it to the mansion in a few days." Xiao Zhizhu quickly agreed.

"Collect the swords and return to the residence!"

Zhong Wuli brought his personal guards and prepared to return the way they came. He turned around and said to Xiao Zhizhu, "I heard that the quality of the weapons and armor in the Xiao Family's weapon shop is very high, and the Pill Medicine in the Pill Medicine shop is very effective. My personal guards have been fighting at the border for many years. We need to change our equipment and add some Pill Medicine. Brother Xiao will give us a discount. No problem, right? "

"No problem, no problem. There will definitely be a discount. I'll arrange it right away." Xiao Zhizhu nodded in agreement and sent the God of Plagues away first.

In less than an hour, Zhong Wuli brought his personal guards and a dozen carriages of goods back to Zhong Manor.

Yun Fei, Zhong Xiu, and Zhong Hu had been waiting. When they saw Zhong Wuli return, they quickly went forward to ask about the situation.

"Wuli, what is going on? Xiao Family recognizes bears and compensate us with so many things." Zhong Hu asked.

" Oh, no, these were bought in the weapons and Pill Medicine shops of the Xiao Family. However, the Xiao Family agreed to compensate us with 10 million gold coins. They are smart enough to let them off this time. " Zhong Wuli said casually.

10 million? Gold coins!

The Xiao Family was really generous. Everyone sighed with emotion.

"They didn't open the door for me at the beginning, and they ignored me. Later on, I cut open their door, and they came out to admit their mistakes. Otherwise, I would definitely wreak havoc in the Xiao Family today! " Zhong Wuli leisurely drank a cup of water and said, "Since they admitted their mistakes and agreed to compensate, I'll spare them."

Before he could cause a ruckus, the door had already been hacked open. Everyone was speechless.

"What did you buy? Why are you still taking care of the Xiao Family's business?"

"I bought over 200 sets of Black Iron Tiger Armor, over 300 Seven Stars wide broad waist blades, and some Essence Recovery Pills, Qi Increasing Pills, and other miscellaneous Pill Medicine."

Zhong Wuli shook his head, seeming very helpless. " Sigh, I originally wanted to take care of their business more, but who knew that the store only had these in stock. "

"The Black Iron Tiger Armour costs more than a thousand gold coins, and the Seven Stars wide broadsword costs more than 900 gold coins per set. Where did you get so much money from? And those Pill Medicine. " Zhong Hu was a little puzzled.

"The Xiao Family said they can give you a discount. I will give you a gold coin for each set of tiger armor and waist blade. As for the Pill Medicine, I am still quite particular about them. I will give them all the remaining gold coins. There should be at least two to three hundred gold coins. " Zhong Wuli patted his chest and said, "A person must be reasonable. We have to buy them, we cannot rob them."

Yun Fei looked at Zhong Wuli, who had a face full of righteousness, and black lines appeared on his forehead. He was very impressed.

"General Zhong, the king has an order. Quickly enter the palace and meet the king." A eunuch came to deliver the order.

In the Golden Hall of the Liang Country's King Court, King Liang sat on the dragon throne. He looked helplessly at Zuo Shuai and Zuo Shuai, who were arguing with each other.

"General Zhong has arrived!"

Zhong Wuli, who was wearing a full set of armor, strode to the center of the Golden Hall. He cupped his fists and bowed, "This lowly subject, Zhong Wuli, greets the king. Long live the king!" Zhong Wuli was conferred the title of Imperial Protector, and he was granted special permission to kneel before the king.

"Rise without ceremony." King Liang's face darkened. "Zhong Wuli, you left your post without being summoned, and went back to the capital without permission. Do you know your crime?"

"I know my crime!" Zhong Wuli straightened his body and stood as tall as a mountain.

"I defeated two hundred thousand soldiers of the Yundian Army and captured the crown prince of Yunnan alive. I forced Yunnan to send an envoy to the capital to negotiate peace. The crown prince of Yunnan is of paramount importance, so I sealed the news and secretly sent him to the capital."

Then, he changed his tone and said angrily, "As soon as I entered the capital, I heard that my only son, Zhong Xiu, was severely injured and on the verge of death by evil men. I was loyal and risked my life to protect the border. But my wife was almost assassinated, and my son was almost killed by a horse on the street. He was furious in his heart, and he couldn't control his rage, so he rushed to the Xiao Family to seek justice. Please forgive me for not being able to meet the king in time."

When King Liang heard that the crown prince of Yunnan had been captured, he wanted to stop the war. He was very happy in his heart, and he didn't even care about what Zhong Wuli said behind him. He said, "Not guilty, not guilty. Minister Zhong has made such a great contribution and is loyal to the country. He should be rewarded."

Xiao Wuyong saw that it was not good, so he quickly went forward and said, "My king, my grandson, Xiao Jianren is an extreme genius of Xiao Family, and also a genius of Liang Country. Now, he has been turned into a cripple by a guard of the Zhong Family, cutting off the hope of the Xiao Family. This has also caused the Liang Country to lose a future Martial Sovereign expert. My king, please uphold justice. Ask the Zhong Family to hand over the injured guard. "

" Old man, your grandson almost killed my grandson. He almost broke the Zhong Family's incense offerings. It was his luck that he didn't kill him. He even asked us to kill him. " Zhong Weifeng shouted angrily. It seemed like the two of them had been arguing for a long time.

King Liang rubbed his temples with his hand. He felt a headache coming on. He couldn't afford to offend these two men now.

The Zhong Family was the pillar of the Imperial Protector. They had been loyal for generations and fought for the border of the country. Now, they had obtained an unprecedented victory and couldn't be touched.

In the Xiao Family, Xiao Wuyong's two sons were in charge of the southern and eastern armies respectively. Although they didn't fight for many years, they were still heavily armed. Furthermore, the Great Tang's Zhou family was standing behind the Xiao Family, so they couldn't be moved.

The other ministers in the hall were like old monks in meditation, not saying a word. In the past, there would always be the support of the ministers, but today, no one dared to step forward and speak.

The anger of those two could not be quelled. What a joke, even King Liang had to be careful, not daring to offend him. Who would dare to provoke him?

"My king, this lowly subject has already gone to Xiao Family to have a friendly conversation with them. Now, we have come to an agreement." Zhong Wuli bowed and said.

"Good! Good! Good!" King Liang smiled, "I am very glad that you are so generous and reconciled!"
