Regulation starts at night

Chapter 130

Whether it is the world of Zetianji or the world of Jiangye, he doesn't think he can be proud of these pillars of the empire who guard the peace with their lives!

What's more, Xue Xingchuan may have escaped from Xue Li, a famous Tang general in his previous life.

This peerless famous general in the early Tang Dynasty was one of Tangning's favorite Chinese generals, so he always had an unspeakable admiration for Xue Xingchuan.

Although all this is just speculation while reading the Zetian Ji, whether it is true or not, it will not affect his respect for the general.

Xue Xingchuan seemed to notice the fiery look in Tangning's eyes, looked up at Tangning, and nodded again.

Seeing the smile on the latter's face, he slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile.

While the two were eyeing each other, Zhou Tong, the chief official of the Qing Dynasty, came down to the two of them under the support of the cavalry.

Zhou Tong glanced at Xue Xingchuan, frowned slightly, and a pair of narrow eyes flashed a trace of dissatisfaction.Although this trace of dissatisfaction disappeared quickly, Tangning still noticed it.

"Who are you? Why is it rude to see this official?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Xingchuan frowned and glanced at Zhou Tong.He tried in this way to persuade his brother to restrain himself, but Zhou Tong ignored him.

The actions of the two of them could not be hidden from Tangning.When Zhou Tong ignored him, he showed a kind smile.

"It doesn't matter who I am, or rather, it doesn't matter to you. As for why I'm not polite, why should I be polite?"

Zhou Tong snorted coldly, twitched his thin lips, and said, "I'm a third-rank official in the country. Anyone who has no fame and reputation will be polite when they see this official. This is Zhou Lv. Do you want to Violating the laws of the country?"

"Oh? But I remember that there was a clear article in the Zhou Law that anyone who belongs to the Academy of State Religion and is a teacher can be exempted from courtesy unless His Majesty comes in person. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"

Zhou Tong heard that, his long and narrow eyes carefully walked over Tangning's body.

He did feel the spirit of a scholar from Tangning, but he never felt the breath of a practitioner.

That is to say, they are the teachers of the academy, and they are all practitioners with self-cultivation.Since he can't feel the breath of cultivation with his cultivation base in the star-gathering realm, how can this young man in front of him become a teacher?

Could it be that the young man in front of him is a strong man from the Holy Realm?

Don't be funny, even Zhou Dufu, the most talented man in the mainland, is impossible to cultivate from the holy realm at his grade!

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong's face darkened, he got off his horse, and walked out surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"You remember correctly, there is indeed such an article in the Zhou Law. However, as a teacher, you should be a practitioner. Although you have the spirit of a scholar, you have no cultivation at all. If so, how can you be listed in the Hall of National Religion? ?”

Tangning smiled when she heard the words, not knowing what to say.Xue Xingchuan turned around, looked at Zhou Tong, and said coldly: "Zhou Tong, this gentleman is the dean of Mingde Academy, don't be rude!"

Zhou Tong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but he felt dissatisfied again when he thought that Xue Xingchuan was actually called by his first name in front of others, and he spoke so forcefully to him.After all, you and I are brothers, even though you are high-ranking, you should still be called Mr. Zhou.

"Mingde Academy? General Xue, forgive me for my incompetence. I have been an official in Shendu for many years, but I have never heard of an academy called Mingde Academy in Shendu."

Seeing Xue Xingchuan's wide-eyed eyes, Zhou Tong laughed cheaply, cupped his hands and said loudly: "General Xue, you and I are in the capital of God, and you have heard of Mingde Academy, but I have never heard of it. Discuss what is right and what is wrong.”

"Since this is the case, I have the courage to invite all the people present to testify together. All the people of the gods, if anyone has heard of Mingde Academy and pointed out the exact location of the academy, it will be regarded as my mistake. I will report to this A young man who claimed to be the principal of Mingde College knelt down and kowtowed in apology."

Tangning never said a word. Looking at Xue Xingchuan's gloomy face, he couldn't help but smile.

The people who were closer to the crowd never heard the foreword, only heard the words deliberately guided by Zhou Tong.Many people are indeed hearing the term Mingde College for the first time.

"Mingde College? When the Sixth Academy of the Ivy League was removed from Shendu, when did there be another academy? Have you ever heard of it?"

"Nonsense, you haven't heard of it, do I have good ears?"

"Yes, this Mingde Academy is unheard of, let alone point out the exact location of the academy. General Xue, is this a misremember?"

"I think so too. I believe General Xue's words. Maybe there is Mingde Academy in this world, but this academy cannot be in the capital of God."

"That's true. I claim to be a living map of God's City. To put it bluntly, I will know exactly where there is a mouse hole in God's City. How could there be more academies but I have never heard of it?"

The voices of everyone's conversation reached Xue Xingchuan's ears, making this great general's eyes round, his nostrils open, and his breathing quickened.

Zhou Tong smiled triumphantly, ignored Xue Xingchuan, and looked directly at Tangning, exuding the aura he had cultivated after years of being an official.

"According to the law of Zhou, those who do not enter the ceremony when they see an official can get thirty rods, and those who deliberately fabricate lies to deceive officials can get fifty rods!"

Tangning was speechless, but still had a faint smile on her face, without any panic.

Zhou Tong deceived himself to come to Tangning's side, and sneered in her ear, "Oh, if you bow down and salute to me, I will be merciful and spare you the punishment! If not..."

Tangning chuckled, took a step back silently, and said calmly, "If I'm not polite, what about you?"

Seeing Tangning like this, Zhou Tong suppressed his smile, waved his right hand, and said in a loud voice, "Come on, take off this person's clothes and fine him [-] yuan for walking!"

As soon as the words fell, three people walked out from among the soldiers.The three people were expressionless, and two of them came with short sticks.

The actions of Zhou Tong and others were immediately seen by the crowd of onlookers.

These people had witnessed the scene under the white arc before, so they knew that Tang Ning was a practitioner with great cultivation.

Although they didn't know what the cultivation level of the young man in front of them was, but judging from the fact that he could easily trap the officials of the Cleansing Department without any movement, he must have a good cultivation level.

Therefore, many people folded their arms and looked at the three officials who were gradually approaching Tang Ning as if they were watching a play.

Tang Ning may not know what a short staff is, but the onlookers know that there are two types of staff used in the Zhou Dynasty, one is a long staff and the other is a short staff.

The long staff is made of solitary wood produced near Shendu. Although this kind of wood is hard, it has a smooth surface and relatively brittle wood.Sentenced with a stick, for the person serving the sentence, the pain suffered is relatively small.

Another short staff is made of fish scale wood, which is very hard and durable, not easy to break, and the surface is very rough, and there are many broken thorns on it.

This kind of rod is made by the Qing Dynasty, and it is specially used to punish those "heinous" criminals in Zhou Prison.

Once this staff is used, after the staff has been held for twenty years, there is little chance of survival under the staff.

For the people in the field, many people have only heard of it but never seen it.

Now that the short staff appeared in front of them, these people were also curious.Many people opened their eyes wide, intending to see clearly what the rumored frightening fish-scale staff really is!

Tangning shook her head slightly when she saw the three of them coming.The leading soldier came to Tangning with a cold face, trying to untie Tangning's white gown.

The soldier's outstretched hand suddenly froze in the air amidst the exclamation of the crowd, unable to advance any further.

The soldier's cold expression became extremely frightening, and an unbelievable sense of fear emerged from the depths of his lifeless eyes.

Seeing this situation, the two soldiers with sticks only frowned slightly.

The two of them didn't make a sound, and didn't see the slightest movement. They just walked behind Tangning silently and raised their fish-scale wands without saying much.

The Fish Scale Staff whizzed down in the air, bringing up a gust of cold wind, and it was about to land on Tangning's back!

Some people in the crowd exclaimed, some looked forward to it, and some sneered.

Zhou Tong showed disdain, while Xue Xingchuan clenched the long knife in his hand, intending to block it, but was stopped by an invisible force.

Xue Xingchuan looked at Tangning. He knew that he was the only one present who had the ability to stop someone who had reached half a step of holiness.Therefore, he could only sigh and glance at Zhou Tong.

Bang ~ click click!

Suddenly, the Fish Scale Staff fell, and when it was about to land a foot behind Tangning, there was a muffled sound.Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the young man who always had a smile on his face looked slightly cold, and he was dressed in a white long gown without any wind.

The two fish-scale wands snapped suddenly.Zhou Tong looked sideways, and fear rose from the depths of his long and narrow eyes.

Boom~ bang bang bang!

Tang Ning's white gown fluttered, and the corners of the clothes gently touched the three soldiers in front of them.In the blink of an eye, the three of them flew upside down, flew three feet in the air and then landed.

"This……"

After everyone saw the ground, they didn't even utter a scream, and the three soldiers who didn't move any more silenced their voices one after another.

Tangning took a step forward. Zhou Tong's face was full of complexities. Under Tangning's gaze, his knees subconsciously softened and he knelt down on the ground.

That unpretentious face was soon covered with tears and snot, and he kowtowed anxiously.

"The saint calms down the anger, the saint calms down, Zhou Tong has eyes and does not recognize heroes, and he hopes the saint will punish him!"

This series of panicked sounds suddenly resounded in the silent crowd.

Those who were surprised by the picture in front of them were suddenly awakened from their dreams by those harsh words!

"saint?"

"My dear mother, this young man is actually a saint?"

At this moment, many people suddenly felt absurd.

These people knew that Tang Ning's cultivation was good, but given the courage of these people, they couldn't imagine that he was actually a saint!

As a subject of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as a citizen of the world who has been in war for many years, this world knows a lot about practitioners.

The Xiaoyao Bang, Dianjin Bang, and Qingyun Bang released by Tianji Pavilion are the capital that many people talk about.

At a deeper level, the wind and rain in all directions and the six sages are also the story templates of many storytellers in teahouses and inns.

But hearing is hearing, and bragging is bragging. They never thought that one day they would be able to witness the talent of a saint with their own eyes!

Among them, the one who was the most shocked and panicked was the demon spy who had been trapped behind the crowd.As for He Ping and Hao Yun who were hiding behind the crowd, they were so shocked by the sudden news that they felt like they were in a dream.

"Teacher, are you a saint?"
