Chapter 40 Not Admitting? Continue Exposing the Secret!
Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, the three teachings, shared the world's destiny equally.
The temples and literary circles were the foundation of a nation. Everyone who achieved success through imperial examinations shouldered the destiny of the country. It could even be said that their actions would determine the national fate for the next few years.
For outsiders to obtain success through imperial examinations was a loss of destiny itself, an unspoken taboo for major dynasties. For the current declining Jing Nation, it was even more of a taboo among taboos.
"Great Yu..."
Mu Yuyan's teeth were clenched and his beautiful eyes were cold.
She hated dynasties that schemed in the dark and took advantage of chaos.
However, she couldn't take action now, not even with the Langzhou Iron Cavalry openly. The reason was simple and helpless: Gu Lan's words lacked evidence.
Even though her people believed her, Du Fu couldn't order the Iron Cavalry to act based on mere "speculation."
In this way, if Tuoba Mo had attended the autumn examinations with a false identity or simply denied participating, claiming he was here for sightseeing, then arresting the Great Yu Prince afterward would put the Jing Nation in a disadvantageous position.
Amidst the silent crowd, Tuoba Mo seemed to have figured this out. Standing in place for a while, he turned slowly towards Gu Lan and sneered, "Brother, I did offend you just now because of your wife, but there's no need to frame me like this, right?
Is the heart of the people in the Jing Nation so narrow? I admit that I am indeed the Ninth Prince of Great Yu, but I did not participate in your autumn examinations! Even if someone wins, it would be another person with the same name and surname as me in the East Province. I'm just here to have some fun in the Jing Nation!"
Indeed! In this age where identity cards were not widespread, it was too easy to play tricks if you were shameless enough.
Hearing his words, the crowd showed disdainful expressions, and people began to angrily scold him:
"He actually is the Ninth Prince of Great Yu, secretly coming here to steal literary fortune. How despicable!"
"Dare to act but not admit it, and still a prince, spit!"
"No shame, it's infuriating!"
...
Hearing the curses around him, Tuoba Mo cursed the peasants in his heart but remained calm on the surface, denying everything!
However, when Gu Lan saw that he didn't admit it, instead of getting angry, she remained as calm and composed as ever. Knowing all the enemy's plot and setting, anyone in her position wouldn't feel nervous. Seeing him so calm, Tuoba Mo felt a slight tightness in his heart.
Damn, does this kid know something?
No, his identity has been exposed; he needs to leave this troublesome place quickly...
Pretending to be calm, Tuoba Mo was already thinking about retreating.
But at this moment, Gu Lan spoke again!
Tuoba Mo cursed inwardly. He gave a resentful look at Gu Lan. The black-robed man's revelations due to Gu Lan's manipulation had significantly increased their danger level. Forget about stealing literary fortune; now, even returning to Great Yu would be a problem. Not to mention the future pursuit by the Dragon Lord...
"Quick, let's go!"
Tuoba Mo kicked the black-robed man, who was still immersed in terror caused by the Dragon Lord, and the latter hastily pinched a technique. They fled from the scene!
Seeing him flee in embarrassment, the people showed disdain.
"Haha! He ran like a mouse crossing the street. Is this how a prince of Great Yu behaves?"
"The prince of Great Yu is like this?"
"Sir, let's chase after him. We've finally got evidence; we must capture him!"
...
With national hatred and personal enmity, blood boiled with excitement. The pleasure of beating a fallen dog made the citizens forget that they were mere mortals while facing a dragon at the king realm. They kept shouting for punishment, united against a common enemy.
However...
The sober ones knew that the reason the dragon hadn't attacked and had instead fled was entirely due to Gu Lan's words, "I wonder if the Dragon Lord is still looking for you." How deep must the hidden fear be for it to be exposed so easily?! It scared the dragon so much that it forgot to resist!
Du Fu quickly calmed the crowd. "Stop making a fuss! Going there will just be delivering yourself. I will invite immortal elders and mobilize the military to pursue them! I will definitely give you all an explanation!"
Du Fu had to work hard to disperse the crowd. He turned around, repeatedly thanked Gu Lan, and left with an excited expression. Finally, he had the opportunity to redeem himself!
...
With the matter settled, Gu Lan's family had long since left and returned home.
"I didn't expect such a commotion just going out for a stroll."
After finishing dinner, Gu Lan lay on the bed, shaking her head with a sigh. Tomorrow, she had to personally take care of...
Dealing with these two handed over to Du Fu to kill made Gu Lan uneasy.
"Sigh, I initially wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person."
However...
These disgusting villains had their eyes on the wife, so she had to reluctantly take care of them. Being targeted by thieves brought endless troubles!
