Chapter 194 The Kingdom of Etiquette
Xiao Erke was dumbfounded: "Grandma Mei Mei Mei!!! What are you doing here!"
Since Xiao Qingchen was found, he had also stayed at the Su residence, so he naturally recognized this stern-faced old lady who never smiled!
So what if I have no cultivation? So what if I don't hold an official position?
Grandma Mei was also a heroine in her youth, a woman of unwavering courage who fought her way out of a pile of corpses.
Whenever she appears, no one dares to underestimate her, and no one dares to raise their voice!
Xiao Erke knew that his father, Xiao Yuanbo, had accompanied Old Lady Mei out to burn incense and pray to Buddha, and that he had now returned to the capital.
But he rarely, and dared not, spend time with this old man, and never even considered his existence.
Little did anyone know, she had actually followed us to the prison!
Dai Zui did not recognize this old lady Mei; he only knew that she was an elderly woman from the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence.
Seeing Xiao Erke's shocked expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Does she hold any official position?"
"Uh..." Xiao Erke calmed down after being asked this question. "No, no... right?"
In his memory, Old Lady Mei did not hold any official position, nor was she granted the title of Lady.
Dai Zui patted his chest and said, "Hey, judging from your reaction, I thought you were some big shot."
"At worst, she's just the mother of a mere marquis; here, she's just an ordinary person!"
The Ministry of Justice's prison has been used by the Grand Secretary and even members of the imperial family.
What is a mere marquis?
Not to mention his mother!
Xiao Erke's cheeks flushed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed: "Indeed, that's true."
She's just an old lady, yet she managed to scare me!
He felt ashamed; it was so embarrassing.
It was understandable that I was frightened by her when I lived in the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.
Now the Xiao family is...
Upon reading this, Xiao Erke's face darkened: "You old hag, this matter originally had nothing to do with you, but since you've come here on your own initiative, don't blame others!"
He felt a sense of relief when he saw the old lady of the Su family locked up.
bass!
Grandma Mei suddenly pulled out her dragon-headed cane.
Her face was grim, and she remained silent, which startled Xiao Erke so much that he took two steps back: "What do you want to do!"
Swish!
Grandma Mei lowered her head and twisted open her dragon-headed cane, revealing the hollow space inside.
She fell silently to the ground, and a golden steel whip landed in her palm.
Xiao Erke snapped out of his daze and immediately felt embarrassed.
In this Ministry of Justice prison, even martial arts masters have to bow their heads and behave themselves.
I heard that the master of Hongxinglin was captured and had no ability to resist before being redeemed, so he could only obediently serve his sentence.
The prison looked simple, but it was full of formations and restrictions.
Even experts can be restricted, let alone an old woman with no cultivation?
Xiao Erke snorted: "You old hag, do you think you can attack an official of the imperial court?"
Dai Zui said coldly, "Fine, you dare to carry a weapon? You think you can do whatever you want without being searched?"
He said that, but he didn't actually search them.
Can a few people with no cultivation level really cause any trouble?
Xiao Erke felt more confident: "Just stay here obediently, the restrictions on this door won't..."
Swish!
Grandma Mei's skills were still sharp; with a sudden swing, although she had lost her cultivation, her fierce posture was no less than it had been in her prime.
Bang!
The steel whip struck the iron gate, instantly scattering golden light and producing a terrifying sound.
Xiao Erke's eyes widened: "You, you actually dared to break out of prison!"
"Inverted!"
Dai Zui wasn't in a hurry at all, and laughed, "This method is absolutely impossible to break through below this level!"
Xiao Erke turned his head: "Did you hear that, say..."
state!
A crisp sound came from above his head.
Xiao Erke covered his forehead and stumbled back several steps.
His eyes widened in shock: "You—you dare hit me!"
"Commander Dai, didn't you say that it's impossible to break through the peace agreement?"
With a single whip, Granny Mei pounded open the gate, which was covered in restrictions.
Without pausing, he lashed Xiao Erke on the head with a whip.
Seeing the top scholar's head bleeding profusely, Dai Zui was dumbfounded: "That's right, there's absolutely no way to break through the Dao and He..."
This old woman is only at the second level of the Spirit Palace realm, so is it that this weapon surpasses the sixth level of the Dao Harmony realm?
In that moment of hesitation, Old Lady Mei had already chased them out of the prison cell.
Holding the steel whip, he struck Xiao Erke on the head again.
state!
Xiao Erke felt dizzy and shouted, "Commander Dai, you can't let me hit someone, but you can't let her hit me either!"
Dai Zui snapped out of his daze and roared in fury, "Stop!"
He roared and was about to unleash his spiritual power to suppress the old woman on the spot!
Swish!
Grandma Mei turned around abruptly: "You're the one who should stop."
The endless killing intent completely suppressed Dai Zui's rising anger.
He seemed to see a vast army, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
On the boundless, ancient battlefield, amidst hundreds of millions of corpses, stood only one figure.
state!
Another lash struck, leaving Xiao Erke with a bruised and swollen face: "Commander Dai, seize her quickly!"
"She's attacking an official of the imperial court!"
Commander Dai suddenly snapped out of his daze, utterly shocked: "Old...General?"
This old woman is clearly a veteran of the battlefield!
That overwhelming killing intent and bloodlust cannot be compared solely by cultivation level and spiritual power.
That is a weapon of war, an ultimate treasure forged with countless lives.
Once this treasure is unleashed, it can scatter demons and monsters, instill fear in humans, and make immortals retreat.
It is a true talisman against evil, a weapon of slaughter against enemies, and a national treasure for protecting the country.
And this old lady herself is a pillar of strength for the country.
She doesn't need cultivation; her mere existence is enough to boost morale and instill fear in foreign enemies.
"I shouldn't have arrested him..." Dai Zui regretted it. He shouldn't have messed with such an old gem.
If something really goes wrong, not only will the army come after me, but the imperial court might also take its anger out on me.
As you can see, Xiao Erke is still being whipped, and Dai Zui can't really stand idly by.
He could only clasp his hands and say, "Grandma, you...you shouldn't have attacked an official of the imperial court."
Swish!
Without hesitation, Old Lady Mei threw the iron whip in her hand over.
Dai Zui took it and glanced at it with a puzzled look.
But then he opened his mouth wide in horror: "Strike, strike Wang Bian!"
Old Lady Mei coldly said, "The late king bestowed upon us the royal whip, which is used to strike down tyrannical rulers and treacherous officials."
"Tell me, can I strike an official appointed by the imperial court?"
A million alpacas galloped through Dai Zui's mind, his mouth tasted bitter, and he couldn't express his feelings.
He respectfully returned the whip, saying, "Yes..."
This is a whip bestowed by the late emperor to be used to strike the king. If we trace its origins back, it was even used to strike the emperor!
In this great Qian Dynasty, as long as this old woman wants to take action, no one can stop her; in fact, they'll praise her for doing a good job!
Dai Zui was filled with regret. What had he done to deserve this? He had offended such an old sage!
No wonder it could shatter the prison gate's restrictions with a single whip; it's a top-tier imperial treasure!
A single whip can determine the fate of a nation; what's a mere prison sentence?
state!
Grandma Mei lashed out with her whip again, denting Xiao Erke's head: "You traitor, you don't do your job properly."
"As an official appointed by the imperial court, you do despicable things all day long. Do you think I should be beaten?"
Xiao Erke, literally bleeding from all seven orifices: "I...I've only just passed the imperial examination with top honors, I don't even have an official position yet, I..."
"I'm just an ordinary citizen, please stop hitting me..."
Seeing that the other party showed no sign of stopping, he pleaded, "The Great Qian is a land of propriety, you cannot..."
Old Mrs. Mei lashed out with her whip again: "Not bad, it's proper etiquette."
state!
