C51 With a Single Glance the Minister Fell!
The sound of footsteps in the quiet throne room was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire hall.
It made those who were already afraid feel even more depressed. Huangfu Shang frowned. The expressions of the officials below were all in his eyes.
They had never shown such respect and fear when they were facing him. However, Luo Jingtian had already made them feel this way before he even arrived.
He seemed to have underestimated Luo Jingtian's influence again.
At this time, everyone's eyes shifted to the entrance of the hall. A figure was standing there.
He wore a black robe with patterns on it, covering the tall and sturdy figure, causing him to give off an oppressive feeling.
He wore a crown on his head, and there were many complicated patterns on it. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a cloud. On top of the cloud, there were also many branches that were connected. From the top, one could see the word Town.
This crown hat was specially made by the former king, and its significance was also extraordinary. It symbolized the true protector of the Purple Cloud Empire.
Its status was so high that it was only below the king in the entire Zi Yun Kingdom, and the power it possessed was also shocking to the extreme.
All of the generals looked at the figure that was slowly approaching with extreme fanaticism.
Luo Jingtian expressionlessly walked into the hall and swept his gaze across all the officials. Everyone who met his gaze lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Even Wang Wanlong avoided his gaze. Only the Grand Preceptor, Xie Kun, smiled at him and nodded.
However, Luo Jingtian frowned but did not say anything. He put his hands together and bowed slightly. "Luo Jingtian greets the king!"
Huangfu Shang smiled and greeted, "Respected subject, do not bow!"
Just as he was about to speak again, a figure jumped out and shouted righteously, "Luo Jingtian! Seeing that the king did not kneel, what was the meaning of this? Could it be that the dignified king is not worthy of you kneeling down? Is this your path as an official?"
Upon hearing these words, some of the elders looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. This person had only become an official in recent years and his position was not small. He was the Minister of Rites and the person who paid the most attention to etiquette!
Seeing that Luo Jingtian did not kneel upon seeing the king, he felt that his duty made him stand out and ignore everyone's gazes.
Huangfu Shang did not stop him and watched quietly. He had not seen Luo Jingtian for a long time and wanted to see how he would deal with him.
However, he regretted it after a while. When Luo Jingtian heard his words, he turned around and looked at him indifferently.
The Minister of Rites was stunned. He felt like he was in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How could he, who had been living a comfortable life, suffer?
His eyes were filled with fear. Then, a soldier covered in blood, wearing a battle suit and holding a steel knife slowly walked toward him. Then, a second, a third, and an endless number of soldiers appeared.
The Minister of Rites was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. A warm current flowed out of his body. He! He was so scared that he peed his pants!
A strange smell filled the entire Imperial Court, causing everyone to frown. They looked at this so-called Minister of Rites with disdain on the same day.
Huangfu Shang's expression was not good either. How did this person get into this position? What a disgrace!
At this moment, the Ministry of Rites official finally came back to his senses. Looking at his current state and the look of disdain on the officials' faces, he felt as if he was in a cellar. His entire body was cold.
The humiliation he felt right now was even more intense than the fear he felt when he was in a sea of blood!
Suddenly, as if he could not take it anymore, he roared: "Ah! Luo Jingtian, you will die a horrible death!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, he crashed into a pillar beside him. His skull shattered and he lost his breath. The Minister of Rites was killed by Luo Jingtian with just one look!
This made everyone suck in a breath of cold air. That oppressive figure was like a Devil God in their eyes, causing their hearts to tremble.
Especially those who advocated impeaching Luo Jingtian. Their legs were trembling.
The only ones whose expressions did not change much were the Grand Preceptor and Grand Tutor. They only glanced at his corpse before ignoring him.1
Even Van Dayue carefully and passionately looked at this magnificent back. This person was the guardian of Zi Yun, the idol of all the soldiers. He had also taken him along.
From that moment on, he had someone to worship! No one knew what he had thought of, but his expression suddenly became complacent.
Luo Jingtian looked back in surprise and said, "Who is this person? Do I have a grudge with him? Why did you curse me? "
" And what do you mean by committing suicide after you curse me? You're not trying to blackmail me, are you? Everyone saw it, I didn't touch him! " As he spoke, he even wanted the officials to testify for him.
All of the officials were speechless. Blackmail you? You have seen blackmailing people with your life?
You did not touch him, but everyone knew that the Ministry of Rites official was a pure civil servant. He did not even have a single Spiritual Force.
You are a general who has experienced hundreds of battles and your cultivation is unfathomable. If you want to do something, who can stop you?
It is like a nouveau riche commanding his servants to strip a woman in front of everyone and then the woman will commit suicide!
The nouveau riche even said with an innocent face, It has nothing to do with me, she wants to die. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person!
However, they did not dare to say it out loud. The fate of the Ministry of Rites official was right in front of them. They still wanted to live a long life!
Huangfu Shang's expression was extremely ugly. He waved his hand and two soldiers dragged the corpse out.
Then, he said, "What is the High Duke's purpose for attending the court today?" The matter of forcing his own official to death in front of him seemed to have never happened.
"Reporting to the king, a few powerful assassins appeared in the Imperial City last night. Their methods are extremely cruel, causing people to be moved. Even my Sun Luo Tian was killed by them and has yet to awaken!"
"Furthermore, the Sixth Prince was heavily injured and his cultivation was crippled! The Sixth Prince is related to the Imperial Family's bloodline, and this old official has no choice but to take this matter seriously!"
Hearing this, everyone finally understood why his actions yesterday were so extreme. It turned out that his grandson had been assassinated!
Hearing that he had done it for the prince, everyone scoffed. Did you believe that?
When Huangfu Shang heard this, he furrowed his brows. He knew that Luo Tian was injured, but why was the Sixth Prince injured as well?
Although he didn't like this son of his, he was still his own son, a prince! He was seriously injured by someone, and his cultivation base had been crippled!
Even Huangfu Shang was furious. He said, "I wonder if the duke has found out where the assassin went? As long as he has found out, he must be punished and dare to attack the prince in our Zi Yun Imperial City. And the grandson of the Duke. This is really infuriating. The heavens will not tolerate it!"
