Chapter 170 - Crippled Sun Town, Broken Sword Pavilion
For my heart, I, Xiao Yu, swear that I will not be a marquis!
A single sentence, lingering in the hall for a long time.
Ripples appeared on everyone's hearts, deeply shocking Xiao Yu.
To have the Marquis of Pinghai not do something so easily, such sentiments and righteousness had deeply refreshed everyone's understanding.
One had to know that this was a lord of a province.
No matter how many times he sharpened his head, he still wanted to sit in this position.
Xiao Yu gave up!
Everyone believed that Xiao Yu did not kill Li Beichuan for the sake of coveting his position. It was for the sake of hoeing and exterminating thieves.
”The Wei Sanye can temporarily take over the political affairs of the navy and be their vice marquis. Chen Han could temporarily become the commander of the three armies, becoming the highest general! Wang Xiao could be the assistant of the Wei Sanye, helping him with the important affairs of the entire province. Everyone can inquire about these three people, and there is no need to report to me. ”
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yu walked down the main stairs step by step, passing through the important people on both sides.
His expression was sorrowful, sad, calm, and distant.
It was heartbreaking and admirable.
Wei Sanye respectfully said: ”Escort the young master!”
Chen Han said: ”Greetings to young master!”
Wang Xiao suddenly felt very sad, and said in a deep voice, ”Respectfully sending you off, Young Master!”
Everyone cupped their fists and said in unison, ”Respectfully sending you off, Young Master!”
The youth walked out of the hall barefooted.
He left everyone with a sad look on their faces.
In the end, this figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wei Sanye stood at the seat of honor, beside the head, and said loudly: ”Young Noble does not seek fame and wealth, but instead has high aspirations and high integrity, treating us like role models! ”In the future, we'll pay our respects to the young master, and even the marquis!”
Everyone said, ”Yes!”
Everyone's eyes were still fixed on the spot where the young master had disappeared from.
The impression that Xiao Yu left on everyone was really too deep.
One of them sat on the seat of honor and said that he was not a legend.
In Pinghai, there was Xiao Yu, the young master was peerless. In the future, he would probably never see such a graceful youth again.
Other than Xiao Yu, who else was worthy of the title ”Young Master”?
After walking out of the Marquis Mansion's gate, Xiao Yu followed the stone steps barefooted.
They followed the endless stream of people.
Outside the provincial marquis' residence, countless civilians stood on both sides of the road, quietly waiting for the day to change. They were waiting for the provincial marquis' residence to change hands. Everyone was discussing whether Xiao Yu's policy would change towards the entire province's civilians after he took over the position of Marquis.
In particular, some merchants and martial practitioners were waiting for this moment.
Thus, tens of thousands of people waited outside the provincial marquis' residence on the street five li long.
They were waiting for the news to spread from the provincial marquis' residence.
However, what they were waiting for, was the soldier's resounding voice. ”Young Noble said to kill Li Beichuan, this is not a battle for the throne. Young master's words, killing Li Beichuan caused him to lose face to the Duke Blue Clothes. Young master, I swear I will not do anything. Young master has said that Ping Hai will return to the Duke Blue Clothes! ”
Every word that came out shocked tens of thousands of civilians and peddlers.
Xiao Yu, gave up on the Marquis position?!
Young master's words, kill Li Beichuan, no need to fight for the position of marquis.
Young master's words, kill Li Beichuan, shame the Duke Blue Clothes, Ping Hai should be the Duke Blue Clothes's.
[The Young Master swears that he will never do it!]
One sentence after another spread throughout the entire provincial capital.
Who in this world disrespected their young master?
Who didn't respect their young master?
After a long time, everyone saw a barefoot youth wearing gray clothes walk up the stone steps from the entrance of the provincial general's manor.
Walking out of the gate, he walked up the ten li long street.
He walked past countless people, past countless bluestone blocks.
”Young Master is too righteous!”
”Gongzi Wu Shuang!”
”Young Master is a chivalrous man!”
”…”
Countless people started shouting, as they watched Xiao Yu leave.
Xiao Yu did not say a word the entire time.
Gradually, from dusk to the night, from the door of the provincial marquis' estate, to the end of the ten li long street.
What was left for the crowd was only a lonely and sorrowful figure.
At the end of the long street.
There were two people standing there.
Ye Qingxuan, Han Yao.
The two of them clasped their fists together, and Ye Qingxuan said: ”Young Noble is truly a noble man, I, Qing Xuan, admire you!”
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and did not speak.
On the side, stood Ning Yuling and Uncle Li.
A carriage was parked behind the two of them.
Obviously, they were here to pick up Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu laughed bitterly, he did not speak, and did not walk forward, but continued to walk.
At the place of transmission, there was a parasol tree with luxuriant branches and luxuriant leaves.
Under the wutong tree, a shabby wheelchair was parked there, and on the wheelchair sat a delicate and pretty woman. The corner of the woman's mouth held a smile, as if she could only see Xiao Yu in her world.
Xiao Yu stepped forward, crouched down, and buried his head in his bosom.
The woman supported Xiao Yu's head and whispered: ”Little Yu, you've worked hard.”
At this moment, Xiao Yu wanted to cry.
He really wanted to cry.
Xiao Yu endured.
The woman said softly, ”If you want to cry, then cry. You are only eighteen years old, but you have to place the heavy responsibility of bearing hundreds of millions of people on your shoulders, bearing down on the thousand year legacy of the Thousand Swords Sect. Even the phoenix could not bear it. However, after the phoenix underwent rebirth, it was reborn from the flames. ”My Little Yu, as long as you have the status quo in the world, you should be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of ten thousand kilograms.”
The woman's voice became more and more resolute: ”Because, my Little Yu, from the moment he was born, was destined to be extraordinary! 18 levels of hell, 18 levels of suffering. However, if you pass the 18th level of suffering, the 19th level will await you. That is the road to heaven! ”
Xiao Yu said in a hoarse voice, ”Sis, I just want to accompany you by your side and cure your legs. I'll return you to normal! ”
The woman hugged him tightly. Her eyes were red, and she didn't say a word.
