Confucian and Taoist scholar

Three poles in the sun.

Soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the Holy Court are still cleaning the battlefield, counting casualties and sorting out strategic materials.

Du Ning and others, Pang Mengjie and others, under the leadership of Geng Cunshan, arrived outside the palace of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom.

And here, Emperor Guangde has led all civil and military officials to welcome everyone with the highest level of etiquette.

"My dear Pang Mengjie, under the orders of the Holy Court, led the mainland navy to come to support the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom. I have met you all."

Pang Mengjie spoke first and politely handed over to Emperor Guangde and the officials.

Emperor Guangde immediately said to Pang Mengjie and others: "On behalf of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, I welcome all the distinguished guests who have come from the Holy Forest Continent. I would like to thank the Holy Court and all gentlemen for saving me from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the water and fire. I am grateful.

."

"I'll thank you all soon."

All civil and military officials bowed deeply to express their gratitude.

The soldiers of the Holy Academy returned the courtesy politely, but Tian Feipeng, Fu Yue and others were arrogant and looked at Emperor Guangde and the civil and military officials with very unhappy expressions.

Pang Mengjie said: "You're welcome, everyone is a fellow human being and should help each other. We followed the order from the Holy Court and traveled through the stars and nights, and finally arrived in time. Now that the disaster has passed, the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom can also be calm.

Enjoy peace and quiet."

Emperor Guangde said sincerely: "This is also thanks to your help. Without you, our Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will perish. Our Seven Islands Sea Kingdom will never forget your great kindness and will definitely do something for you."

You will build a monument of eternal merit."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and I cannot bear to say so." Pang Mengjie said modestly.

Emperor Guangde looked at Du Ning and suddenly coughed.

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of War came out. He was bare-chested and covered with thorns. He knelt down in front of Du Ning with a plop. He lowered his head and said, "I am guilty. I am ashamed of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom. I am ashamed of Du Jun."

, please punish Du Jun."

Later, many officials came out. Like the Minister of War, they all knelt down in front of Du Ning and others to repent.

Geng Cunshan was also among them. Although he was ordered by the Minister of War, he actually supported the Minister of War, so Geng Cunshan felt very ashamed.

Fan Rulong, Tian Feipeng and others sneered and watched these people's performances quietly.

Before wiping out the Hailong Gang, these officials had all kinds of contempt and slander towards the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent, and even detained them as hostages. Now that they have won a great victory, these people immediately plead guilty, which makes people laugh even thinking about it.<

/p>

When Pang Mengjie and others saw this scene, their eyes turned cold for a moment. They knew without guessing that these people must have done something to feel sorry for Du Ning and others.

Emperor Guangde bowed to Du Ning and said: "Mr. Yunqi, fellow literary friends, I have listened to the slander and you have been wronged."

Pang Mengjie asked in confusion: "Du Jun, what's going on? What did they do to you?"

Before Du Ning could speak, Tian Feipeng couldn't wait to say: "These people judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. Without waiting for reinforcements to arrive on the battlefield, they insist that the Holy Academy will sacrifice the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to expand its territory, so they will

We are being held as hostages. If the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is breached, they will kill us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Mengjie and many of the generals in the Holy Court suddenly became furious.

After receiving the transfer order, everyone immediately traveled across the country at starry night. Unexpectedly, the Seven Islands Sea Country was so ungrateful that it dared to imprison human lords and even wanted to kill these scholars!

"Presumptuous!"

Pang Mengjie gave a cold shout, and his powerful talent and power swept out, hitting the officials who had taken the blame.

"Poof!"

Those officials could not bear the pressure of the great scholar. They all opened their mouths and vomited blood. Their faces turned pale with fright and their whole bodies trembled.

Not only Pang Mengjie, but also many others looked angry.

Emperor Guangde kept bending over and did not dare to get up. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he gritted his teeth.

"After receiving the message from your country asking for help, the Holy Court ordered us to rush to the endless sea day and night. We only hoped to arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible to wipe out the pirates for you. I never thought that you would dare to take our clan Lord Wen as a hostage. This is

A capital crime!"

"If our Holy Academy really gives up on your Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom, why would you send us here? With our mainland naval force, it is more than enough to destroy ten of your Seven Islands and Sea Kingdoms. You actually look down on us like this. It is really abominable!"
"The Hailong Gang attacked your Seven Islands Sea Country, but you detained Yun Qijun and others. Wouldn't this make it easier for the Hailong Gang to attack your Seven Islands Sea Country as soon as possible? Whose idea was this? Who is betraying the country? Who is framing us?

People? Stand up for me!"

Everyone in the Holy Court denounced one after another, and they were all furious.

Qidao Haiguo has gone too far this time!

Everyone in the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom lowered their heads and remained silent.

The Minister of War almost fainted. Even the people in the Holy Court suspected him of collaborating with the enemy and treason. This was simply more uncomfortable than killing him. Even if he jumped into the sea to get rid of this crime, he would not be able to clear it.

"Sir, please calm down. This was the lower official's idea. This... this is just a misunderstanding..."

The Minister of War wanted to explain, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of a reason.

In any case, this matter is indeed something Seven Islands Sea Country did wrong.

Emperor Guangde said angrily: "Mr. Pang, the Minister of War has a stubborn mind and doesn't know much about the Holy Forest Continent, so he made such a mistake. But all he did was for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, and this is also a world."

It was a big misunderstanding. He also realized his mistake and asked for your forgiveness."

Pang Mengjie said: "If it is true that our Holy Court has abandoned you Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom, then it is understandable for you to behave like this. But the fact is exactly the opposite. This person's heart is forgivable, but his crime is punishable. You could have joined forces with Du Jun and others

Fight against the Sea Dragon Gang together to buy more time for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and reduce more casualties. However, you have made the most stupid and wrong decision. If we are really late, the Seven Islands Sea Country will

The country has now been destroyed by the Hailong Gang!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Pang is right, all this is our mistake, and we accept criticism."

Emperor Guangde was obedient and did not dare to say a word of rebuttal. Naturally, he cursed the Minister of War in his heart. How could he explain to the Holy Court that things were like this?

"I know my mistake! I know my mistake! It's all because I was confused for a while, so I made this unforgivable mistake. But I really didn't collaborate with the enemy and treason, I really didn't..."<

/p>

The Minister of the Ministry of War cried and explained, and his emotions collapsed.

"Even if you didn't collaborate with the enemy and treason, what's the difference between your behavior and someone who collaborated with the enemy and treason?" Tian Feipeng sneered.

"Every mistake is my fault. All of these are my self-righteous opinions. Please forgive me!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War really regrets it, hating himself for being short-sighted, and even more hating himself for wrongly blaming the Holy Court. But what he cannot forgive is that because of his decision, more soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom were killed.

All the guilt weighed on him, almost making him breathless.

Pang Mengjie asked the Minister of War: "Is all this really just your idea? Are there other people involved?"

"No, no, really no, I can swear on my literary courage!" the Minister of War said hurriedly.

"That's good!"

Pang Mengjie's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he looked at the Minister of War as if he were looking at a dead man.

A chill ran down the back of the Minister of War, and he could feel that Pang Mengjie was murderous towards him. He was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Mr. Pang, please spare my life, Mr. Pang, please spare my life!"

Pang Mengjie asked Du Ning: "Du Jun, how do you think this person should be dealt with?"

The expressions of all the civil and military officials changed. Seeing this scene, Pang Mengjie wanted to let Du Ning decide the power of life and death.

For the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom, Pang Mengjie is a great scholar and has the greatest power.

However, for Pang Mengjie and others, Du Ning is a literary monarch of the human race. Regardless of time and place, Du Ning's actual status is the highest.

If Du Ning is willing, Du Ning can completely replace Pang Mengjie's command as Wenjun.

This is one of Wenjun's privileges in the Holy Court.

Emperor Guangde took a deep breath and exhaled it for a long time. After all, he did not dare to say anything.

Pang Mengjie only looked for the mastermind and did not look for trouble with other people. He was already setting the stage for Emperor Guangde.

If Emperor Guangde says anything else, the consequences will be disastrous if he is angered by Pang Mengjie.

The Minister of War did not dare to look at Du Ning, so he could only lower his head and said: "Mr. Yunqi, help me! You sir have a lot of money, please spare me this time!"

The officials of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom were very sad and angry. They did not expect that the Minister of the Ministry of War, who usually quarrels with the sky, the earth, and the air, would be so afraid of death. They simply lost the face of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.

Some people stood far away, and some even covered their red faces.

Du Ning said: "To be honest, the Minister of War also considered it from the perspective of the Seven Islands Sea Country. Although he made a very serious mistake, it was also for the sake of the Seven Islands Sea Country. This is completely understandable... ”

The Minister of War was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Du, for sparing my life. Thank you very much, Lord Du, for your kindness in sparing my life."

"Don't be too happy first, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Du Ning's words made the Minister of War's heart sink again, and an even worse premonition suddenly arose.

"In terms of your heart, you are excusable, but in terms of your deeds, you deserve to die!"

Du Ning looked at the Minister of War and said loudly: "Obviously we could join forces to fight against the Hailong Gang, but you chose to fight alone. You could have minimized the casualties of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, but you imprisoned us. If it weren't for your suggestion, There simply won’t be so many soldiers killed in battle.”

"It was you who nearly plunged the Seven Islands Sea Country into a state of catastrophe. It was you who severely damaged the vitality of the Seven Islands Sea Country. You committed a crime that is indistinguishable from collaboration with the enemy and treason. Even if I can forgive you, even if the Seven Islands Sea Country is If the people of our country can forgive you, then you should feel your conscience and ask this world if you think those brothers who died on the battlefield will forgive you!"

"I..."

The Minister of War could not utter a word. Du Ning's words were like invisible knives, piercing his heart with every word, making him extremely uncomfortable and painful.

"Well said by Du Jun!"

Tian Feipeng pointed at the Minister of War and said: "If you don't kill people like you who harm the country and the people, what's the use? Are you still allowed to continue to harm the country and the people?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War was so angry that his eyes were splitting. This was a humiliation that he could not accept in any case, but he could not utter a single rebuttal.

"Hugh!"

Pang Mengjie suddenly spit out the Confucian ancient sword and slashed at the Minister of War.

"Mr. Pang, please spare my life!"

The Minister of War made a desperate sound. He did not believe that Pang Mengjie would use such extreme means to kill himself in the presence of Emperor Guangde and when he himself was the one to plead guilty.

"Ah!"

There was a scream, and the ancient sword of Daru cut off the head of the Minister of War and rolled to the ground.

Emperor Guangde and the civil and military officials were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out. The behavior of the Minister of War was indeed worthy of death, but Pang Mengjie sentenced the Minister of War to death in front of them. This was simply a slap in the face of Qidao Haiguo, which was completely unfair.

Give Emperor Guangde no face!

"Humph!"

Pang Mengjie said to Emperor Guangde: "Your Majesty, the culprit has been killed. You can take care of the others by yourself!"

"Thank you Mr. Pang."

Emperor Guangde was frightened. If Pang Mengjie did not kill them all, he would have already fallen down the emperor's ladder.

"Come here, capture all these people and transfer them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for conviction."

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers came out and took away all the officials who had asked for forgiveness, including all the officials involved in the matter, including Geng Cunshan.

Whether it is to the Holy Court or to the people of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom, Emperor Guangde must give everyone a satisfactory explanation. At this time, these officials must be attacked, even if their homes are confiscated and executed, as long as the evidence is conclusive

, equally merciless.

"I have prepared a banquet in the Yingfeng Hall. First, to celebrate our victory in wiping out the Hailong Gang and pacifying the Endless Sea. Second, to welcome Mr. Pang and other distinguished guests who have come all the way from the Holy Forest Continent. Please!" Guangde!

The emperor extended an invitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then we would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Pang Mengjie readily agreed. This banquet is of vital importance and is related to the future destiny of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the entire human race.

Everyone came to the Yingfeng Hall and took their seats, one person per person, and everyone knelt down to eat. This old custom was a bit unfamiliar to Pang Mengjie and others, because the meal-sharing system was rarely seen in the Holy Forest Continent, and it was still

Eating in a kneeling position, except for special occasions such as worshiping ancestors, most banquets basically involve everyone gathering together and eating on stools.

But today, Pang Mengjie and others are guests, so naturally the guests do as they please.

Everyone eats as Emperor Guangde arranges.

At the banquet, Emperor Guangde expressed his lofty gratitude to everyone in the Holy Court on behalf of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, thanking the Holy Court for their rescue, which allowed the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to escape this catastrophe.

Then the banquet officially started, and everyone drank and chatted freely.

After three rounds of drinking, Du Ning started to talk about the subject, "Your Majesty, now you should have a clearer understanding of our Holy Forest Continent. What are your plans in the future?"

The implication is that he is asking Emperor Guangde if he agrees to allow the Seven Island Sea Kingdom to officially return to the Holy Forest Continent.

The expressions of all the officials instantly became a little unnatural.
