Chapter 828 1nd
What Zhu Tu Fu admired most about Chen Dao was neither Chen Dao's level of understanding nor his courage!
Rather, it was the reason Chen Dao attacked Qing Wang!
Just because of the death of a commoner woman, Chen Dao took action in a fit of rage and destroyed the entire Qingwang Mansion!
When Zhu Tu Fu first heard this news from Qian Li Er, the shock he felt was indescribable!
He simply couldn't believe that Chen Dao's reason for attacking the Green King was so... simple!
The principle of "a life for a life" is the simplest truth in the world!
However, this principle does not apply to everyone!
Because the Xia Dynasty was a feudal society!
Those high-ranking officials, those scions of noble families, those members of the imperial family—even if they kill someone, they don't have to pay with their lives, or even pay any price. This is an unspoken rule that isn't openly acknowledged, but is known to almost everyone!
Just like the Qing King back then, how many young women did he torture and kill? How many innocent people did he harm?
Doesn't the imperial court know about these things? Don't the families of those who were harmed hate him?
This is obviously impossible!
But was King Qing punished?
No!
Even if the Prince of Qing were to torture and kill countless women and harm countless innocent civilians, he would not be punished in any way. This is because he is a prince of the court and the younger brother of the current emperor. His status is thousands of times higher than that of those he has killed. Therefore, even if the Prince of Qing kills countless people, he will not be punished in any way. At most, the emperor will issue an edict to reprimand him!
As for paying for murder with one's life... ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about it!
But at this moment, someone stood up and told the whole world that even the imperial family and even the Green King would have to pay the price for killing someone!
This person was none other than Chen Dao, standing right in front of us!
Just because of the death of an ordinary woman, Chen Dao was so enraged that he killed the Prince of Qing and even slaughtered the entire Prince of Qing's mansion. This was undoubtedly telling the world that no matter how noble your status is, you cannot disregard the lives of others, otherwise... the price you pay may very well be your own life!
Since the incident involving the Green King occurred and spread throughout the Nine Provinces, many powerful and influential people have become much more restrained in their actions. They no longer dare to treat the common people as worthless as before, because they are unsure whether, if they kill too many people, someone like Chen Dao will come to claim their lives...
This is what Zhu Tu Fu admires most about Chen Dao. Zhu Tu Fu has seen many martial artists who are not afraid of power, but Chen Dao is the first one who is not even afraid of the imperial court and kills a noble prince for the death of an ordinary woman!
"long time no see!"
Chen Dao nodded slightly to Butcher Zhu, his eyes showing approval.
Since Butcher Zhu is here, it means that he has rejected the Lu family. Regardless of his reasons for not wanting to take action against Tian Yu, his refusal of the Lu family's request is commendable.
"Where is Mr. Chen headed? Would you mind traveling with me?"
Zhu the butcher asked tentatively, "A person like Chen Dao, who is willing to help the weak, must be a person full of justice. Therefore, Zhu the butcher felt that Chen Dao must have the same thoughts as me."
However, Chen Dao did not answer Zhu Tu Fu's question. He simply shook his head and then walked towards Youzhou Prefecture City with Yang Zheng and the other two.
Upon seeing this, Butcher Zhu frowned. He had assumed Chen Dao would follow his lead and go to the Great Wall to report him, but clearly...
Chen Dao and his group were not heading towards the Great Wall, but towards Youzhou Prefecture in the south!
"stop looking!"
Qianli'er waved his hand in front of Zhu Tufu's eyes and said, "Mr. Chen must have his own ideas, which we can't possibly guess!"
After saying that, Qianli Er looked around and saw that the martial artists who had left with him had all left and there was no one else around. He then whispered, "Let's go! Aren't you going to the Great Wall? Let's hurry up and set off, lest we miss our chance."
"it is good!"
Butcher Zhu nodded.
So, the two of them took a detour to make sure no one from the Lu family was following them, and then headed north.
Meanwhile, Chen Dao and his group, who were heading south, did not actually go to Youzhou Prefecture City. Instead, after walking for a while, they entered a dense forest.
"Senior Li, is someone following us?"
Chen Dao whistled to summon the Crimson Flame Chicken while asking Li Qiao.
"no!"
Li Qiao shook his head. When he first left the Lu family, he did sense that someone was following him and his group. However, when they turned south, the tracking disappeared. Clearly, the Lu family had given up following them after seeing them head south.
"The Lu family is really confident!"
Yang Zheng shook his head. If it were up to his nature, he would definitely keep a close watch on those who knew about his plot once they found out. However, the Lu family only followed for a short distance before giving up. This shows just how arrogant the Lu family was.
However, it's understandable when you think about it. The Lu family has always been the undisputed authority in Youzhou, and they must have long been used to this situation. They subconsciously wouldn't think that these martial artists who left the Lu family would have the guts to inform on others.
Moreover, tracking a third-rank martial artist is not an easy task. Unless the person sent by the Lu family to track them is far more powerful than the person being tracked, it is very difficult to remain undetected.
After weighing the pros and cons, it's not hard to understand why the Lu family gave up the pursuit.
"Since no one is following us, let's set off!"
Not long after Chen Dao's whistle sounded, Chi Yan Yi and Chi Yan Er slowly landed in front of the group.
Upon seeing Chi Yan Yi and Chi Yan Er, Li Qiao's eyes lit up. He leaped up first and landed on Chi Yan Er's back.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Dao, Chen Cheng, and Yang Zheng also jumped onto the back of the Crimson Flame Chicken.
Then, the two Crimson Flame Chickens flapped their wings and flew into the sky!
"Whoosh! It's flying again!"
"So exciting!"
"This bird is truly amazing!"
"Yang Zheng, look at the view below! Isn't it spectacular?"
"..."
High in the sky, Li Qiao started shouting again. A first-rank martial artist, a master renowned throughout the land, was now no different from a child who had just received a new toy.
"Senior Li, can you be a little more composed?"
Yang Zheng said with a helpless expression.
"cannot!"
Li Qiao flatly rejected Yang Zheng's suggestion and continued shouting. Sometimes he would even stand up, spread his arms, and let the wind blow his hair and clothes. He was extremely excited.
…………
…………
Traveling by flying is undoubtedly much faster than walking.
They set off in the morning, and in the afternoon, Chen Dao and his three companions, who were in the air, saw the Great Wall below.
"This scene is truly breathtaking!"
Looking down at the Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles and lies across the land like a giant dragon lying in wait, Li Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
