Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C156 The Capital of the Capital



C156 The Capital of the Capital

Badao pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on with Xiao Yun.    

    

He was too miraculous!    

    

In other words, everything in the world had to have a rule, and there was a limit to it.    

    

If one wanted to master any skill, they would need a lot of time to learn and train it.    

    

Just like him, climbing to the position of the world's number one blade, did he rely on talent?    

    

Of course, it was necessary, but more on hard work.    

    

From the beginning of his debut, his master had recognized seventeen or eighteen masters and had learned the essence from them. Only then did he master them thoroughly and achieve what he had achieved today.    

    

He had walked for less than twenty years along the way!    

    

But what about Xiao Yun?    

    

He was clearly only in his early twenties.    

    

Putting aside the zither, chess, painting and painting, he had heard that this fellow was rather famous.    

    

Furthermore, he was well-versed in all kinds of knowledge. He had personally witnessed it. Even those locusts could be turned into delicious delicacies. This was simply inconceivable! Just what kind of profound realm did one have to reach in order to do such an unimaginable thing?    

    

And... Martial arts!    

    

Xiao Yun was a lone wolf. He practiced everything Badao had never heard of before, but he was extremely proficient in it.    

    

If he were to take out a single skill, it would probably take him less than ten years.    

    

However, he knew everything, and he was proficient in all of them!    

    

How did he do it?    

    

This could no longer be explained by hard work or talent.    

    

No matter what, it was magical.    

    

Even an idea suddenly popped up in Badao's mind.    

    

Ordinary people and Xiao Yun were not the same species at all! They were like an eagle in the sky compared to the countless ants on the ground.    

    

It was precisely because of this that he understood the true meaning of a word.    

    

What was called a dragon among men?    

    

It was this kind of person that would make you feel different from his species!    

    

Badao shook his head.    

    

In any case, it was not enough, and he did not want to think too much about it.    

    

As for Xiao Yun, apart from studying the furnace, he spent the rest of his time training his body.    

    

When he was tired and took a bath, he would make a book and read it for a while. Then, he would fall asleep.    

    

Everyone around him had a feeling.    

    

It was a sin to be idle!    

    

Xiao Yun seemed to have something that he would never be able to do, and he would never have enough time.    

    

Talking about leisure and lamenting about the boredom of life?    

    

No!    

    

"I don't have enough time. How good would it be if I didn't need to sleep?"    

    

Xiao Yun's sigh made everyone who wanted to slack off hold back their strength once again.    

    

Sometimes, the best way to encourage others was not to use the cliché phrase of being generous and passionate. Instead, it was to set an example and use oneself as an example.    

    

This was very important!    

    

After being busy for a few days, everyone felt that it was very fulfilling.    

    

Even though they didn't understand why they were enriching themselves like this, and what use it had.    

    

"I should take a day off."    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly said that one day, and then he led everyone out to play, shopping, drinking and eating meat. No matter how happy they were, they would come. No matter how bright they were, they would come.    

    

According to what Xiao Yun said, this was called a combination of work and rest.    

    

However, the people who felt that they had been delayed because of this trip felt a sense of guilt in their hearts. The next day, they worked even harder or learned even more.    

    

However, on this day, people from the Xiao family, who almost no one came, came.    

    

He was not a guest.    

    

It was a person from the Court of Censors.    

    

They were all capital cities, and the investigation was an investigation. The name of the prefecture was just like the name. It was the establishment of a prefecture, and the inheritance was orderly. Since the Qin Country was established, the Court of Censors had existed.    

    

If one could find the most unwelcome place in the Qin Country, but also feared by everyone, it would undoubtedly be the Court of Censors!    

    

An old general of the battlefield, leading a group of soul reaping ghosts to seek for their lives. He was stirring up trouble everywhere!    

    

When the servants of the Xiao family opened the door, they were stunned when they saw the attire of the Court of Censors.    

    

"This... may I ask all of you, what brings you to my Xiao mansion? If there is an urgent matter, please wait for a moment. Wait for me to inform my master."    

    

"No need!"    

    

The people of Court of Censors actually blocked the way of countless people. They lined up and passed through the hall and rooms, and arrived at the main courtyard of Xiao mansion.    

    

There were hundreds of people behind them. They blocked all the entrances and exits of the Xiao family and guarded the main courtyard.    

    

One of them in the middle took out a file and said in a clear voice, "The salary of the Court of Censors is given by Pei Zhongren himself. He is here to arrest the murderer, Xiao Yun! If you block or shield him, you will be punished for the same crime! "    

    

It was simple and clear. Anyone could hear it clearly, but everyone who heard it was stunned!    

    

Arrest someone? Murderers? Xiao Yun?    

    

Old Master Xiao was listening to music in his room. Now, he had a new joy. It was to listen to Ling Long sing a song for him. Of course, the other joy was to ask her if Xiao Yun had planted the seeds of the Xiao family.    

    

He had heard the noise outside, but he didn't have the mood to go out.    

    

He just let his eldest son handle this kind of thing. Although it was useless, he was very familiar with drawing circles in the official circles.    

    

However, when the old man heard the Court of Censors's shout, he immediately stood up from his seat. He did not even have the time to put on his shoes before he rushed to the courtyard and shouted, "Who dares to capture my Lin? ! "    

    

If an ordinary person saw Old Master Xiao's expression, he would be scared and run away.    

    

However, the people of Court of Censors were not afraid at all.    

    

The leader of the group sneered and cupped his hands towards Old Master Xiao, but he did not show any respect.    

    

"Master Xiao, the others might be afraid of you, but we, the Court of Censors, are not! Your Xiao Yun knows the law and committed crimes. His actions are extremely vile. Now that you mention him, it means that the higher-ups want to ask you questions, and you want to deal with them. You can't tell us, we are only responsible for catching him. We don't care about anything else!"    

    

His words were direct and rude.    

    

Old Master Xiao gritted his teeth and held himself back.    

    

He said angrily, "It was just a few servants of the Zhao family who were killed in Drunken Immortal Restaurant. They were the ones who attacked first. There is a way to seek death in the first place, but even if we take ten thousand steps back... At most, we'll pay some money to the Zhao family, and that's why the Court of Censors attacked us. ! "    

    

The leader laughed and said," The deceased is indeed from the Zhao family, but how much money does Old Master Xiao want to pay for it? Not to mention Imperial Tutor Zhao not agreeing, even His Majesty would not agree. The law of Qin Country would not agree either!"    

    

"So it's Imperial Tutor Zhao. Humph! Since when did the Court of Censors have to listen to Zhao Wuji? Is the world still the world of the Great Qin? "    

    

"Aiyo!"    

    

The leader raised his eyelids and said, "Old Master Xiao, don't accuse us of this. We can't afford to bear this crime. And it seems that Old Master Xiao has misunderstood us. We are here to arrest him. It's not because of those ignorant servants in Drunken Immortal Restaurant. "    

    

"Then why?"    

    

"To tell you the truth, someone pointed out that Xiao Yun was the one who killed Zhao Fengxi, Young Master Zhao, in the spring hunting of the Northern Lands!" said the servant.    

    

Everyone was shocked by his words!    

    

However, Old Master Xiao was amused and angered.    

    

"The Northern Lands are in danger of natural disasters. Thousands of people have entered the mountains. Only about 200 people managed to walk out of the mountains alive. This is all thanks to my Lin'er. Now, Zhao Wuji is actually so despicable and shameless. He actually said that Yun Er killed their Zhao Fengxi? Why didn't he say that Yun Er had killed everyone? Ridiculous!"    

    

The leader said," This official didn't believe it, but now that there are survivors who have pointed it out, we can't do anything about it. After all, the national law is here. Who dares to disobey it? "    

    

He sighed and shook the dossier in his hand. "The Prefecture has given the order that His Majesty's dragon seal has been stamped on it. Today, Xiao Yun has to leave, even if he doesn't want to!"    

    

Old Master Xiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his Qi moved without any wind.    

    

He stood proudly and shouted coldly, "Let me see who dares to take Yun'er away!"    

    

The man from the Court of Censors said with a cold expression, "Master Xiao, why do you have to do this? We are just bringing Young Master Xiao over to ask him a question. If it really has nothing to do with him... He will be able to go home in less than two days. If you do this... Not only will you stop the Imperial Messenger, you will also be violating the Imperial Decree... Hehe, I hope Lord Xiao will reconsider. Don't make a mistake because of a momentary impulse. He will bring a huge disaster to the entire Xiao mansion!"    

    

"Bullsh * t!"    

    

Old Master Xiao faced their threat and said in a stern voice, "Who doesn't know that your Court of Censors is a poisonous pool that can melt bones and devour people? Who would come out in one piece after going in? When did you not have seventeen or eighteen cases of false accusations in a year? The number of people who died because of injustice was even more uncountable! If it was in the past, it would have been fine, but I can't be bothered with you. Now, you have put shackles on the main courtyard of Xiao mansion. Do you think I, Xiao Xiao Huai'en, am made of mud? "    

    

Originally, Old Master Xiao was only referring to Xiao Huai'en because he had made a great contribution in the early years, and was given the title of 'gift' by the previous emperor. He had also passed away many years ago because of the previous emperor's illness. Therefore, he only referred to Xiao Huai'en as' gift 'because he remembered the previous emperor.    

    

But now, he mentioned Xiao Qiao's name again.    

    

It was the first time that he had seen Xiao Licheng's name in decades.    

    

It meant a lot to him!
