Chapter 337 The Lower Class

Qiyang City, Zhongzhou, the Six-Gate Yamen.

The National Protection Army launched operations in two directions.

One of the groups aggressively surrounded the entire Six Gates, and even did not spare any of the surrounding streets and alleys.

Such a large-scale bloody killing scene terrified the surrounding shop owners. They were so scared that they closed their doors and windows for fear of being caught in the disaster.

At this moment, this prosperous city seemed to have turned into a dead city. Except for Zheng Ye and those disciples from the holy land, only the soldiers of the National Defense Army were left patrolling the streets.

Meanwhile, the other group of the National Defense Army quickly formed a tight encirclement around the entire Qiyang City. They were like an iron wall, ensuring that no one could escape from the city during this period of time.

Sure enough, the final result was as expected, no one successfully escaped.

At this time, Zheng Ye was standing alone in the middle of a mountain of corpses. All around him were the bodies of many disciples of the holy land. Blood gathered into a river, flowing on the ground, and illuminating the entire sky with a scarlet glow.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, making people sick.

"Kaka——"

Suddenly, the soldiers of the National Defense Army who were originally closely arranged seemed to have received some kind of instruction and automatically moved to the sides, leaving a wide passage.

I saw three people slowly walking out from the back.

The one walking in front was Wu Hui. He looked flattering and bowed to the man in the middle, saying, "Lord Mei Nan, from now on, you are the governor of Qiyang City! I hope you can take care of me and help me in the future."

However, facing Wu Hui's flattering and attentive behavior, Mei Nan was not moved at all. Instead, he frowned slightly and looked displeased.

He responded coldly: "Mr. Liu has given me a brand new name. My name is now Mei Zai!"

"Oh, look at my stinky mouth!"

Wu Hui raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face, while he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Oh, Mr. Mei Zai, you have to be careful with your steps..."

However, before he could finish his words, the plum disaster suddenly changed into a different person, instantly putting on an extremely flattering expression that was exactly the same as his, and ran towards the figure on the left.

He lowered his voice and said carefully: "Master Liu Yi, you must pay more attention to your feet. Don't let the blood on the ground dirty your shoes~~"

Liu Yi has always hated the flattering behavior of these officials.

Along the way, no matter how Wu Hui flattered and tried to please Mei Zai, he never said a word.

As for Wu Hui, he had no idea who Liu Yi was. He just focused on following Mei Zai and trying his best to flatter him.

At this moment, when he saw Mei Zai being so attentive to such a young man, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He then quietly took a step back, shrank his neck, and stood quietly to the side, staring at the conversation between the two people in front of him.

I was secretly thinking in my mind, trying to find out the true identity of this mysterious young man from their conversation.

Who would have thought that Liu Yi didn't appreciate the plum blossom disaster at all?

He had a tense face and snorted coldly: "Humph! I'm not as delicate as you guys!"

"I can't even wash off the blood that's stained all over my body, so how could I care about a pair of shoes?!"

Mei Zai awkwardly nodded in agreement. As a veteran in officialdom, he must have some friends in the court.

He already knew Liu Yi's identity, but it was their first meeting and he couldn't figure out Liu Yi's character, so he didn't talk to him.

This time I had the chance, but I didn't expect to hit the horse's hoof.

"Brother Zheng...long time no see."

Liu Yi looked at the pile of corpses, his gaze fixed on a bloody figure standing there in confusion, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.

Even though the man in front of him had deceived and used him in the past, Liu Yi knew very well that this man's nature was not that bad.

Zheng Ye heard someone calling his name, and slowly raised his hand to wipe off the dried blood stuck on his eyelashes.

Then he turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

When he saw Liu Yi, a carefree smile immediately appeared on his face: "It turned out to be Xiao Yi... Mr. Liu is indeed very righteous and actually sent you to see me off for the last time... In this way, Zheng will have no regrets in this life."

Liu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton and in the end, no sound came out.

The two of them just stared at each other silently, with the only sounds around them being the whistling of the wind and the occasional chirping of birds in the distance.

The silence lasted for a long time. Liu Yi finally mustered up the courage and asked softly, "Brother Zheng... do you think the path you have chosen is right or wrong?"

When Zheng Ye heard Liu Yi's question, he was stunned at first, as if he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question.

Then, he laughed softly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his laughter: "Right or wrong? Haha... Xiaoyi, I remember you are about to become an adult, right?"

Liu Yi was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Yes, today is the day for my coming-of-age ceremony."

"After I finish dealing with things in Qiyang City, I will return to Northern Frontier. Lord Liu will personally crown me then."

"Haha, you'll understand later..."

Zheng Ye smiled bitterly and self-deprecatingly, and said slowly, "In the adult world, there is no such thing as absolute right or wrong. There are only pros and cons."

He shook his head gently and looked into the distance with a somewhat dim gaze.

"Your sister-in-law deceived me and lied to me... Actually, I know all these things clearly."

"But what can I do? I have no way to change this. If people of low status like us easily abandon this bond, then it will become even more difficult for us to survive in this world."

At this point, Zheng Ye couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then, he paused for a moment and continued, "And as for Lord Lin Ying, he asked me to set a trap for you... I was reluctant."

"But I cannot disobey his orders. Without the protection of Master Lin Ying, I would be a stray dog, living a precarious life."

"I also don't want to do things like blackmailing businesses and bullying the weak on a daily basis."

"But if I don't do this, I will definitely become an alien in the eyes of everyone in a place like the Six Gates, and will be ostracized and suppressed."

At this moment, Zheng Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and his originally dull eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.

"But you're different!"

His tone suddenly became excited, as if he saw some hope, "You are lucky! You are favored by Mr. Liu!"

"With Liu Gong as your backer, you may never experience what it means to be a real...low-class person in your entire life."

"What do you mean... powerless?"
