Night falls.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, torches were lit in the courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion.
Along with the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been kneeling for two hours, raised his head.
"Hey, what happened? All the commanders and generals of Huizhou are kneeling here?"
Lu Qingyun strode into the patio.
"Master, Huizhou coach Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew wanted to harm you and was killed by his subordinates."
Wei Yixiao, who was standing in the corner, stepped forward and saluted.
The smile on Lu Qingyun's face did not change, and he understood in his heart.
Li Wenzhong was just a scapegoat, and it was Zhu Yuanzhang who really wanted to stand on his own feet.
It would be strange if the future founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not have this ambition.
"Zhu Yuanzhang, you are too impatient!"
"Master, my subordinates have no intention of rebellion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang panicked, feeling that Lu Qingyun's gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing and peeling away the secrets hidden deep in his heart.
Lu Qingyun looked past Zhu Yuanzhang and scanned the generals behind him. Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Xu Da and others were all Zhu Yuanzhang's capable generals.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang has turned against him, he must not stay, but Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are rare generals, so it would be a pity to kill them.
"What do you think I should do with Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Master, Li Wenzhong has treasonous intentions and deserves to be punished by King Bat. But the commander-in-chief didn't know about it at all. I beg the leader to be given a lighter sentence."
Tang He hurriedly interceded for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The following serious crimes of treason are punishable by beheading. They were all old brothers who came out together. How could he bear to watch Zhu Yuanzhang being executed.
Lu Qingyun's mouth showed disdain, and he looked at Tang He with cold eyes and said: "Li Wenzhong is a small general in the battalion, and he has no enmity or enmity against me. What reason does he have to kill me?"
"This..." Tang He was speechless.
Tang He was not sure whether what Li Wenzhong said today was secretly arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But I knew in my heart that the old brother probably had such a plan. Otherwise, Li Wenzhong would not have been allowed to say so many provocative words.
"What do you think?" Lu Qingyun looked at Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.
"I hope the leader will be given a lighter sentence!" Chang Yuchun and Xu Da begged at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly cried out. He noticed the flash of murderous intent in Lu Qingyun's eyes, and hurriedly knocked his head to the ground, "Master, this disciple is guilty and is willing to accept the punishment according to the canon!"
"King Wei Bat, how will Zhu Yuanzhang be punished according to the canon rules?"
Lu Qingyun had just taken over the Ming Cult, and he didn't know much about the rules and regulations.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's foresight and foresight, his life would definitely not be in danger if so many people asked him to be dealt with according to canonical rules.
"One hundred punishments with the rod, expel the Ming Cult!" Wei Yixiao's cold voice sounded.
What a good plan!
With a martial arts practitioner's body, a hundred sticks would be nothing. Being expelled from Mingjiao is not only safer, but also makes it easier for him to act.
"Brother Zhu has lived and died for our sect, let's forget about the hundred sticks." Lu Qingyun said to Wei Yixiao.
Wei Yixiao nodded, "Since the leader has begged for mercy, the hundred rods will be invalidated."
A warm smile appeared on Lu Qingyun's face, and he helped Zhu Yuanzhang, who was kneeling on the ground, "Li Wenzhong's crime is too great. The Mingjiao can no longer retain talents like Brother Zhu. I hope you will not hold a grudge."
"Why did the leader say this? Li Wenzhong committed such a serious crime, and the leader showed mercy and spared him the pain of his flesh and blood. Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears of gratitude."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of gratitude, and he bowed and saluted Lu Qingyun.
"With Brother Zhu's talent, you can succeed wherever you go, and I won't keep you here."
Lu Qingyun patted Zhu Yuanzhang on the shoulder, sighed, and showed a look of reluctance.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the generals kneeling on the ground, gritted his teeth, turned around and strode away.
"Master, let him go like this?" Wei Yixiao asked strangely using voice transmission.
Based on his understanding of Lu Qingyun, once he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had murderous intentions, he would never let him go so easily.
Lu Qingyun withdrew his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. How could the person he sentenced to death be safe?
The slap just now seemed like two gentle slaps, but in fact it had planted hidden dangers in Zhu Yuanzhang, which he would never be able to detect based on his cultivation level.
Within three months, his meridians will be severed and he will die.
Lu Qingyun smiled and did not answer.
As long as he knows this kind of thing in his heart, there is no need to say it out loud.
The war is imminent, and these generals must be relied on to lead the troops in battle. Lu Qingyun does not intend to pursue it.
But if he seeks death, he will not show mercy.
"Everyone, please get up. For the sake of your life and death for Mingjiao, I won't hold you accountable."
"Our Mingjiao takes it as our own duty to drive out the Tartars. This time we have to rely on you brothers for the decisive battle with the Tartar princess."
The generals headed by Chang Yuchun and Xu Da bowed and saluted: "Thank you so much, Master, for your magnanimity. We will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Tang He was not in a high mood. Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy departure made him also want to quit. "Master, Tang He and Zhu Yuanzhang have grown up. They know that they can no longer gain a foothold in the Huizhou rebel army. I sincerely ask the leader to allow me to return to my hometown."
Lu Qingyun glanced at Tang He's face, and then looked at Chang Yuchun, Xu Da and others one by one.
These people are all top-notch generals. If they cannot stay, the strength of the Huizhou Rebel Army will be greatly reduced.
"Brother Tanghe, what did Qingyun do wrong that made you feel discouraged and wanted to retire?"
"The leader is benevolent and generous to Brother Zhu. Tang He is grateful, but"
Lu Qingyun didn't wait for him to continue, then interrupted, and looked at everyone again.
"I, Lu Qingyun, don't have a very good reputation in the martial arts world, but there is one thing that the entire martial arts world knows."
"That means I dare to be the enemy of the world for my brothers and friends!"
"Let's not talk about it. Emei disciple Zhou Zhiruo was kidnapped by Chen Youliang and taken to Yuezhou. I, Lu Qingyun, dare to declare war on the best gang in the world."
"Now that I have become the leader of the Ming Cult, you are my brothers. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, as long as I am still alive, I will do my best to solve your problems!"
Lu Qingyun advocated for his former disciple Wuji and Emei disciple Zhou Zhiruo and did not hesitate to fight the beggar gang. This is known to the world.
Not only that, he went on a killing spree to get the thousand-year-old ginseng for the wife of his sworn brother Xiao Feng, and became the world's biggest devil.
For such a person, what he said was naturally convincing and moved all the generals present.
Lu Qingyun saw that the heat was almost done, with a look of reluctance on his face, and sighed heavily, "If Tang and brother really want to leave, Qingyun will not force him to stay. I beg brother Tang to stay for now and help me and help Mingjiao." the last time."
After talking to this point, no matter how much Tang He wanted to leave, he couldn't leave now.
If he really left, he would never have the face to see anyone again.
"Master, unless the Mongolian Tatars are completely driven out of the Central Plains, Tang He will never mention leaving again."
"Okay, Brother Tang is so righteous! Qingyun, thank you very much for the Mingjiao!" Lu Qingyun clasped his fists and said loudly.
