1046 Planning For Tough Times (1/2)
The entire Gantian Mountain started to become boisterous. Flower petals scattered on both sides as everyone was joyous.
The loud discussion noises instantly subsided, replaced with loud cheers.
”Is it really Ruler?”
”Ruler finally returned!”
”These few years, without Ruler here, I just felt really uneasy…”
”With Ruler back, our Great Gan will sweep everyone and unify the Cloud World!”
”Unify your head! With Ruler back, those people will quieten down and be more well-behaved.”
Zong Shou's eyes flashed. He felt a little guilty. During these 10 years, he really did very little for his people.
However, outside of the carriage, the worship from the people came from their hearts.
But speaking of which, if he participated more in governance, Great Gan might not have been as prosperous as it was now.
Then, he thought back to just now and instantly gritted his teeth. He smashed the railing he was holding onto into pieces!
How preposterous!
Xuanyuan Yiren was beside him, using her hand to cover her lips to suppress her laughter.
When Zong Shou used Spiritual Sense to listen out, he didn't hide it from her which was how she found out.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yiren laughed so much that she nearly cramped up, her image as the mother of the country was totally nonexistent.
Zong Shou laughed out and looked at her with a dark and sinister expression.
Xuanyuan Yiren held her breath and thought back to how Ruoshui and Kong Yao were not in Gantian.
If this fellow grabbed her to mess around every day, she couldn't take it alone.
The ability of the Sky Fox could make one feel so much desire that they wanted to die. She couldn't stop even if she wanted, instead, she would ask for more until she was devoid of energy and couldn't continue.
Her expression became solemn and she apologized, ”I remembered that after I return I have pills to refine. I can only accompany you a few days later.”
He then glanced at Chuxue, a smile flashed across, ”If Husband feels lonely, why not take Xue'er? You can also shut up the mouths of our commoners.”
”Eh?” Chuxue exclaimed. She got shot even when she laid there and did nothing. Even if she was slow she knew what Xuanyuan Yiren was referring to. She quickly shook her head frantically and her face turned red.
Zong Shou scoffed coldly. In his heart, he had made up his mind that once he returned to the palace, he would punish her. Pill refining as an excuse was useless this time.
Just at this moment, he sensed something and he looked outside.
A dozen scholarly dressed people suddenly blocked in front of the group, right in the middle of the streets.
”Zong Shou, you violent Ruler, enemy of the Confucians, you deserve to die!”
”Evil demon outer path, Monster Race Ruler, how can you rule a nation!”
”Didn't you say you want to burn the books and wipe out Confucianism? If you have the ability, kill us!”
”We will kill you ignorant Ruler!”
”Central Continent Great Shang is about to attack you, how long will you last? Gantian will die!”
”This person is an evil demon! Anyone in the world can kill him and anyone can replace him!”
”Zong Weiran was a good Ruler, to have such a son, he would hate you in hell!”
They scolded out, not caring to mince their words. However, the cheers around suppressed them. Before those vegetables and bamboo scrolls even got 1,000 feet close, the guards around smashed them into pieces.
The dozen Confucians were forcefully taken down and pulled away from the streets.
After this small situation, everything else was pretty calm.
Zong Shou sat quietly without saying a word. The killing intent in his eyes became even colder and suppressive.
This time he was truly furious. A flame silently rose up and burned in his chest.
”Everyone who joins in, lock them up in the Ministry of Justice. Don't punish them and don't make things tough for them. We will deal with them in a month!”
He really wanted to behead them right here, but he knew that if he did that, those Confucians would have more things to say.
At that time, Zong Shou would truly be a violent Ruler. Those Confucians, who blocked him and scolded him, would be called heroes.
Zong Shou was definitely not a magnanimous person but since he wanted these people to die, he would kill them righteously after their reputations collapsed.
Deserve to die? Monster Race Ruler? He had to admit that those people really angered him.
Zong Gang was one of the five Army Inspectors and held the Blood Cloud Cavalry and all the guards. He was at the side of the carriage on his horse.
After he heard this, he was stunned and slightly surprised. Then, he galloped away viciously to spread Zong Shou's orders.
