C326 Retreat as a way forward (1/2)
Very quickly, it was the morning assembly again. Surprisingly, General Peng Chong appeared on the main hall holding State Protector, the last time they appeared together was when Peng Xiaoshuai was beaten up.
This time, something had happened to his goddaughter, and the two of them had come back again. Who knew who would be the unlucky one?
When Long Qihao saw his two brothers, his palms were also covered in sweat. Back then, when the three of them went out to roam the martial arts world together, the truth was that many things were actually done by the two of them.
He let out a heavy cough, and said with a loud and clear voice, ”As for the things that happened two days ago, I have also heard about them.
”To think that such a thing would actually happen under the hands of the Emperor, it is simply a great shame and humiliation. To be able to be kidnapped even in broad daylight at the capital, where is the logic of heaven?”
Gu Qianbao's head was covered in cold sweat. He glared at Duan Gewu in anger, his meaning self-evident. These two fellows were both from the Law Clans, so they had the same thoughts now. They had to teach a lesson.
Before this fellow could reply, Peng Chong had already walked out. He bowed respectfully, and then said from there: ”capital has many complex people, and it is understandable for some of the petty people to be involved. This matter can't be blamed on anyone else.”
His words caused everyone to be stunned. Everyone thought that he was here to denounce them. They didn't expect him to say something like that. This was truly out of their expectations.
He scanned the crowd with his eyes before continuing, ”This humble subject is not in court for my daughter's sake, but for another matter. I request Your Majesty's permission.”
Long Qihao also didn't know what kind of medicine he was hiding in his gourd right now. He felt that his heart was in a mess, could it be that his wife's Fighting God had changed his personality as well?
With a dignified look on his face, he said, ”I don't know what the great general wants, but I'll have to hear it first.”
Peng Chong cupped his hands and said: ”Recently, this humble subject felt that I have also reached the brink of a breakthrough, so if I wanted to cultivate in seclusion, I naturally would not have the energy to manage the matters of the military.
Therefore, I wish to hand over the position of general to the Great General, and have my entire family return to Cold Sun County. In the future, I will no longer ask about the affairs of the imperial court, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant me your permission to do so. ”
Tang Jinhua also said from the side, ”This humble subject and Peng Chong's situation is pretty much the same, I also want to hand over the power in my hands and return to Flowertree City. On one hand, I want to hone my cultivation, and on the other hand, I also want to spend the rest of my life cultivating.”
Long Qihao was startled when he heard this, he did not expect the two of them to say this, the Peng Tang and Peng Tang were a part of the same family, they could not differentiate between each other.
This time, they advanced and retreated together. It was unknown what they wanted to do. If they wanted to force the palace into a corner, then it would be a mistake. They might as well just play along.
He had long suspected his two elder brothers, but first of all, they held a high position and had great influence. Second of all, it was because of brotherly friendship that he did not act against them.
If the two brothers could really retreat like that, it would be a good thing. At the very least, there would be two paths of retreat in the future, and they could even meet each other.
Thinking about this, he decided to keep them here for a while. He sighed and said, ”My two brothers, why do you have to do this? I know that you all have a lot of grievances, and will definitely uphold justice for you all. ”
