Chapter 14 Courage

"Mr. Liu has returned home in glorious attire, but he has already realized his ambition? To get ahead?"
Liu Daji was sitting in front of the case, with his body bent and a kind look on his face, like a black bear.
He looked at Tao Zi with a mocking look on his face.
Tao Zi didn't reply, and gnawed on the thigh bone in his hand expressionlessly. His teeth were very good, and the teeth were like steel blades. They cut the meat sharply, chopped it into pieces in his mouth, and swallowed it.
Lu Qubing frowned.
Returning home in splendid clothes?
Liu Da swallowed the broth in one gulp, touched the corner of his mouth, and cursed: "Damn it, I've never heard of being a petty official to get ahead!"
"You fool, could it be that you mistook officials for officials?"
"What is an official? It means working as a slave for an official! Do you think you can receive a temple salary? Can you be registered in the temple?"
"If you become an official this time, you will remain an official for the rest of your life. Unless you have broken arms and legs, then you just have to face it! If you run away, you will be a subjugated citizen!"
"If you are in a hurry to become a slave, why bother? Isn't it better if I sell you directly to those knights and wear a green turban to resist weapons for them? I can still make more money!"
Listening to Liu Da's insults, Lu Qubing cleared his throat. As the most low-level official in Da Qi, he felt that it was time to speak up and change the other party's wrong concept.
"Actually, this is not the case. Nowadays, temples often promote officials. Many important ministers are junior officials. If they do well, they will be recommended."
"Eat your food!!"
Liu Da looked at him suddenly, without the slightest politeness.
"good!"
Lu Qubing responded, lowered his head and started eating.
Before Liu Da continued to vent his anger, Taozi finished her meal and went to see Liu Zhang.
In the front yard, Lu Qubing and Liu Da were sitting face to face.
Lu Qubing felt restless at the moment, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He secretly raised his head and saw Liu Da staring straight at him.
He showed an extremely ugly smile.
Taozi! Come back soon!!
Liu Da stared straight at Lu Qubing in front of him, with no fear in his eyes. He pursed his lips and took the lead in opening the topic.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
Peach smash!!!!
At this moment, Taozi was listening to her mother's instructions in the inner room.
Mrs. Liu Zhang prepared a new pair of shoes for Taozi. She squatted in front of Taozi and gestured with the size, "Fortunately, they were made bigger, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fit into them. It's the time to grow taller."
"You need to eat more, but you can't go hungry. I've prepared some food for you. You can take it with you and share some with your classmates."
"You haven't been talkative since you were a child. If someone bullies you, tell your Lingshi to take advantage of you."
Mrs. Liu Zhang stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Tao Zi's new shoes that fit her feet, and chuckled.
"Don't worry about me, and don't be angry with your grandpa. After you left, he didn't speak to you for several days. Your grandpa came up with a way for you to avoid the corvee. He said that he would take you to shoot a ferocious beast.
"
"Mom, don't ask him."
"When I pass the exam, I will take you away."
Mrs. Liu Zhang was silent for a long time, stood on tiptoes, Taozi lowered her head obediently, and the mother kissed her son on the forehead.
"Go ahead, don't waste time."
"good."
Tao Zi came out of the inner room, glanced at Lu Qu Bing, and then walked out. Lu Qu Bing felt relieved and stood up quickly, almost falling to the ground. He hurriedly bowed to Liu Dayi, and then ran to follow Tao Zi.
Liu Da just sat in front of the case, staring at their backs, his face uncertain, and he hesitated to speak.
There was only one day's holiday, and the road was not too short. After seeing him once, he had to go back.
Walking on a familiar road again, Lu Qubing couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Brother Taozi, where are you from? Who is your ancestor He Xian?"
"I don't know."
"I don't think you are from a commoner family. Your family or a wealthy family in the decline of the Middle Way are very knowledgeable about etiquette and can even quote scriptures."
While Lu Qubing was talking, Taozi in front of him suddenly stopped. Lu Qubing couldn't stop himself and bumped directly into him.
It was as if he had hit a city wall and fell to the ground, dizzy.
Just as he was about to ask, the ground began to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Taozi suddenly raised his head.
Lu Qubing looked up to meet his gaze.
A strange thing flew through the air. It looked like a bird, but it was bigger than any other bird that Lu Qubing knew. This strange bird did not flap its wings, but just flew in the distance with the wind.
The next moment, a group of knights appeared in the distance.
These people were fully armed, and the horses under their crotches were all covered with armor. The knights wore strange masks and held weapons, charging towards this side from the end of the road.
At this moment, Lu Qubing felt that he was suffocating. His legs were numb and he wanted to get up and escape, but his whole body refused to obey his command.
A pair of big hands stretched out and pulled Lu Qubing up. Lu Qubing rose into the air and landed behind Taozi.
The knights charged past, more than thirty people in total.
The horses charged past, and the dust they brought up instantly drowned the two of them. Lu Qubing covered his eyes. It wasn't until the knights walked away that the dust gradually dispersed, revealing the two figures.
Lu Qubing sat on the ground in a miserable state, while Taozi stood on the edge of the road, staring at the knights retreating.
Lu Qubing quickly got up, coughed and wiped the dust from his face.
"It's a kite punishment!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed: "These damn villains!"
"Those villains instigated Your Majesty, saying that in ancient times there were people who could fly into the sky on kites. Your Majesty would find some sinners, tie them to kites, and throw them down from the Golden Wind Tower. If they could fly out of the city, they would be pardoned for their crimes."
"I don't know where this was thrown from. Such a cruel punishment, even if we leave the city, no one will survive."
Taozi didn't listen to his nagging. He looked at the knights behind him.
The knights turned around.
The costumes of these people were still very familiar to Taozi. They wore the same masks and slowly approached the two of them.
Lu Qubing didn't dare to nag anymore.
One person pointed at them and said, "Kill these two people."
Lu Qubing was shocked. He hurriedly searched his body to find out his past records, "I am an official of the county school! I am an official!"
The knights didn't seem to hear his words, and they approached all the way, unhurriedly drawing out their sabers.
"At the feet of the Emperor! How dare you be so presumptuous!!"
Lu Qubing's face turned red. He pointed at the people in front of him and said, "Killing officials and rebelling. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the emperor?"
"rebel?"
After hearing this, the leader finally reacted and became angry.
"You are the ones who rebelled! I had three good men, but they were lost on this road! You were the ones who killed them!"
"Absurd! We just left the county school today and are unarmed. How can we kill your three masters? Are all your masters so incompetent?"
Hearing Lu Qubing's question, the leader sneered and said darkly:
"Since I can't find the real culprit who killed my subordinates, I will kill people around here. I can always kill those murderers. Even if I can't kill them, maybe I can kill their family members! Let them know that losing their loved ones is
What does it feel like!!"
"In the past ten days, I have killed many people, but I did not kill these people, it was the murderers who harmed them!!"
"This thief has done a lot of harm to others!!"
Lu Qubing couldn't bear it any longer. At this moment, his whole body was trembling with anger.
What he experienced during these days constantly impacted his soul.
He pointed at the man and shouted: "You can't kill the real culprit, so you come to kill innocent people to vent your anger? You are a thief who doesn't deserve to be a man!!"
"It is truly a shame for me to die in the hands of such an evil thief who can only harm innocent people and good people!!"
"Fatherless and motherless beast!!!"
His hands were trembling and his tone of voice became weird, but he continued to curse.
At this time, the other knights also began to draw their swords.
The leader stretched out his hand to stop everyone.
He stared at Lu Qubing for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and laughed.
"You are an official from Ancheng. What is your name?"
"Lu Qubing! If you want to kill, then kill!!"
"He is quite a talented censor."
The man murmured, reined in his horse, turned around, and left quickly. The knights put away their weapons and followed him and left together.
The knights left, but Lu Qubing remained motionless, still maintaining his posture of roaring at each other.
He glanced stiffly to the side.
"Brother Taozi~~"
"I can't move."
"Ugh~~~"
Taozi was walking on the road, supporting Lu Qubing with one hand. Lu Qubing was almost hanging on Taozi's arm. He looked pale and had nausea and vomiting from time to time.
His condition was very bad, and he was not as brave as he had been when he scolded dozens of knights in person.
I don’t know how many times he vomited, but his condition finally got better and he could barely walk on his own.
"It's all the fault of those villains for bewitching Your Majesty, for bewitching Your Majesty. Villains! Beasts!"
Lu Qubing cursed weakly, almost all the way.
He himself didn't know many curse words, and he always cursed with the same few words.
Taozi frowned. This time, he seemed tired of hearing it.
"Is the traitorous sister-in-law and the humiliation of the mother also instigated by villains?"
At this moment, Lu Qubing shivered, his pupils dilated, and he remained motionless.
His lips trembled slightly, and he did not dare to say anything more.
