Chapter 58: Senior Brother!
"The Queen Mother... doesn't like Bai Changkong, and she's deliberately embarrassing him."
"Doesn't that mean that someone has already guessed that something is wrong with Bai Lu?"
"That's really cruel."
"But it's no wonder. When I was having dinner with the emperor at Jiuqu Garden, I heard that the chief prosecutor entered the palace and took Yu Sandou away from the Queen Mother."
"My estimate may not be correct. After all, even if I include my past life, how many years have I lived?"
"But I guess that the Grand Secretary Gong Yangxu and other cultural and educational officials must have teamed up to bully the Queen Mother... A group of grown men teamed up to bully a woman whose husband had died. How could she not retaliate?"
Ah Hu followed Lu Yi in a foolish manner, staring at him blankly with wide eyes.
What Lu Yi said to himself was a bit too abstruse for him.
What about the empress dowager, what about civil officials, what about bullying women, etc.?
Too complicated to understand.
Ah Hu patted his muscular chest and asked Lu Yi in a muffled voice: "Brother Yi, have you ever seen the emperor? What does the emperor look like? My father said that the emperor of Zuzhou is the most powerful person in the world."
"The most powerful person must have the biggest fist. Is he bigger than me?"
"Eh?" Lu Yi turned his head and looked at Ah Hu, who was more than a foot taller than him, and shook his head: "Don't worry, you are the biggest person I have ever seen... and you have the biggest fist too."
"As for the Emperor, his fists aren't that big, but there are many people around him with big, hard fists. Moreover, there are many, many, many fists around him, so he is the most powerful person in the world..."
After thinking for a while, Lu Yi said seriously: "One of them?"
"The world has been peaceful for more than a decade, and I am a little confused now. I used to think that according to Dayin's political system, even if the empress dowager was in power, the emperor should be the most powerful person."
"But now female ghosts have appeared, and I can't figure out what's going on in this world."
"Is that so? The female ghost is more powerful than the emperor." Ah Hu muttered in a low voice, and then shuddered: "Is there really a ghost?"
"Clap, clap, clap," loud applause was heard, and several burly figures lined up in a row, blocking the road ahead.
Lu Yi took Ah Hu back to the Survey Division's headquarters. Ah Hu was huge, and although he had great brute force, his agility was his biggest weakness. Therefore, Lu Yi could not take him to take a shortcut by jumping on the wall.
They were walking north along the alley on the east side of the Bai family's house, which was more than two meters wide.
To the west of the alley was the Bai family, and to the east was the residence of another high-ranking official. Both sides were surrounded by walls that were four or five feet high. The street was paved with bluestone, with white walls and black tiles on both sides. The alley was kept clean and tidy, and no one was seen in the early morning.
The six people who blocked the road were all burly men who were about eight or nine feet tall. In the middle of winter, they all wore leather jackets that exposed their arms, with buttons open on the chest, revealing their sturdy chests covered with dense black hair.
They stood in the road, grinning and laughing at Lu Yi and Ah Hu.
Lu Yi was stunned. He shook the heavy cloth package in his hand and said with a smile, "Ah Hu, were you followed when you came here? Are they robbing people on the road?"
There were footsteps heard behind them, and several very strong men hurried up, blocking Lu Yi and Ah Hu in the alley one after another.
Lu Yi suddenly laughed: "I was wrong, it's not robbery, it's revenge."
"It's revenge." A hoarse laugh sounded, and a big man pushed a wheelchair and took a few steps forward from the back.
Xiong Dingtian sat in a wheelchair , grinning at Lu Yi: "You scholars, have you read so much that nothing can stop you? It's revenge, Lu Yi! You've made me suffer. If it weren't for the friendship between the prince and Si Kou Tai, you would have ruined my family!"
Lu Yi turned around and looked at Xiong Dingtian seriously: "But, based on the scene in that alley, you are indeed suspected of colluding with the rebels. Tsk, I really admire the efficiency of the Sikoutai in handling cases. In such a short time, you have cleared the suspicion and been released?"
"Or, even the Grand Secretary would be partial to his own interests?"
Xiong Dingtian stared at Lu Yu with a gloomy look: "I don't care whether he is partial to others or not. But Lu Yu, now that I'm out, your good days are over."
Xiong Dingtian coughed heavily, and his face, which was almost , twitched. He gritted his teeth and grinned, "Come on, kneel down, crawl over here, lick my feet, call me grandpa, and kowtow for mercy."
"You did this very well and made me feel good. I will let you die more comfortably."
Xiong Dingtian smiled particularly brightly. His hands and legs, which were crippled by Leshan's heavy blow, were trembling slightly. His two arms were shaking, and he actually lifted them up from the armrests of the wheelchair.
Lu Yi's eyes narrowed.
He remembered clearly that Xiong Dingtian's two arms were completely disabled.
After the heavy blow from Leshan, Xiong Dingtian's arm bones were shattered. The broken bones tore through the muscles and broke out of the body. 70% to 80% of the bones in both arms were lost. His arms could no longer move.
but he……
He actually raised his arms in front of Lu Yi, although it was with difficulty, and pointed at Lu Yi fiercely.
"Did you use a magic medicine?" Lu Yi blinked rapidly subconsciously.
Xiong Dingtian smiled triumphantly, then turned around and said to the several sturdy men around him with a humble smile: "It's this kid. Judging from his sharp-tongued appearance, he will not beg for mercy from me... Brothers, please let him and his lackeys die in pieces and in pain."
Gnashing his teeth, Xiong Dingtian said in a fierce voice, "How could he have become the head of the Survey Department? His base is just across the street not far ahead. After we tear this guy to pieces, we will have to trouble you brothers to kill his lackeys as well."
"The prince has done me a favor. This is the last time I will help him. I must do it properly and give him a perfect explanation."
"It's just a small matter." A man who was nearly ten feet tall, only an inch or two shorter than Ah Hu, but looked much thinner than the big and strong Ah Hu, shook his head vigorously, and a muffled sound like popping beans erupted from his body.
The tendons vibrate, the joints collide, and the qi and blood in the internal organs surge, making a continuous thunderous sound.
The man walked towards Lu Yi slowly, step by step.
He shook his arms, and the muscles in his arms squirmed and then expanded rapidly.
Especially his two palms, as the qi and blood circulated, his palms quickly expanded by more than twice, and the skin on his fingers was even covered with a faint golden color.
With two "clang" sounds, the big man's palms collided with each other, making a harsh metallic collision sound.
Ah Hu roared in a low voice, his eyes were bloodshot, he opened his arms and strode towards the big man: "Ha, big guy, you look like you can fight well, you and I..."
Before Ah Hu could finish his words, the big man slapped him in the face.
Ah Hu roared and punched the big man in the face.
There was a loud bang, and Ah Hu's arm twisted. He staggered back seven or eight steps and sat down on the ground involuntarily.
"Brother Yi, be careful, this guy is incredibly strong." Ah Hu's face flushed and he shouted loudly and quickly.
"Is your arm okay?" Lu Yi looked at Ah Hu's slightly deformed arm and asked him hurriedly.
"It's okay, the bone is fine, it's just dislocated." Ah Hu gritted his teeth, stood up, shook his upper body violently, swung one arm, and used brute force to pull the joint of his arm back to its original position.
After a few "click" sounds, Ah Hu, panting, opened his arms and stood in front of Lu Yi.
"Boy, that's good. You have a brother who can die with you. " The big man with his palms turned light gold smiled brightly: "For your kindness, I will let you die more easily."
The big man smiled at Lu Yi and Ah Hu, and even had the leisure to turn around and teach Xiong Dingtian a lesson: "Brother Xiong, we are not evil heretics. We are just seeking revenge. Killing someone is the end of it. We should avoid tearing someone into pieces if possible."
Xiong Dingtian was obviously in awe of the big man. He quickly smiled and said, "Brother, you are right. I will make the final decision on everything."
The big man smiled, turned his head, and raised his hands: "Come on, let's make it quick and easy."
The big man put away his smile and muttered in a low voice "the demons are subdued". Suddenly, a faint golden light lit up on his palms. The two palms, one in front and one behind, slowly covered Ah Hu and Lu Yi.
Ah Hu widened his eyes and stared blankly at the big man's palm.
There was something fishy about this palm. The more he stared at it, the bigger it seemed to be getting. The palm that seemed to be pressing down slowly actually turned into two golden Five Finger Mountains in the blink of an eye, as if it completely encompassed the entire world and crushed it like a thunderbolt.
There is no escape, no hiding place.
Ah Hu's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was shaking violently, he looked at the pair of hands and shouted hoarsely: "There is a ghost!"
A pair of golden palms were already pressed on Ah Hu's chest. The palms were still an inch away from Ah Hu's chest. The terrifying palm force had already left two clear palm prints on Ah Hu's chest, which were sunken three inches deep.
Lu Yi moved.
He grabbed Ah Hu's belt, swung his huge body up, and threw him under the wall of the alley. He then took a step forward and faced the big man's palm head-on.
He raised his right hand and waved it.
The dark blue Yuan Gang light enveloped his arms, and faint sounds of waves could be heard from his palms.
Xiong Dingtian sat in a wheelchair and sneered disdainfully: "Cang Hai Jin, Jing Tao Hand... Lu Yi, you are not my opponent, let alone my senior brother..."
Lu Yi waved his hand, and a streak of green wind flew out from his palm.
The wind is very fast and very strong.
The wind was like a flying knife, lightly passing over the big man's neck.
"Swish", a very slight sound of flesh and bones being torn was heard, and the big man's neck was split in half by the breeze swung by Lu Yi, and blood spurted out from the wound with a "swish".
Lu Yi's powerful hand slapped forward, and with a loud 'pop', the big man's entire head, including the thin wound on his neck, was turned into a bloody mist, without any trace left.
