Chapter 486 - 17 Chi Xiao Recognizes Its Master, Night Exploration of Qilin Hunting_3
This remark provoked laughter from everyone present.
The Sect Master of the Sky-reaching Sect smiled and said, "Lord Tong is a local hero, having established his military achievements, and in the future, he will surely be recorded in history, but he cannot compare to Taiping Duke Li Wanli or the Divine General Yue Pengwu."
Lord Tong then said,
"Then, gentlemen, who do you think is more loyal to the state, me or Li Wanli and Yue Pengwu?"
These grandees from the Martial World just burst into loud laughter.
Lord Tong was not angry and calmly said, "Gentlemen, look, even with the loyalty of Taiping Duke and Yue Pengwu, they were still suspected by the Emperor and killed; even their reputation and strategies were removed by the Emperor."
"And I, if we talk about loyalty, am not as good as them."
"The current Emperor, wouldn’t he be suspicious of me as well?"
"Such pillars of the state are killed upon saying so, and my learning is even further from theirs. Since the Emperor is suspicious of me, would he hesitate to kill me?"
The City Lord of Zhenbei City spoke with a solemn face, "My name has probably already appeared in the Emperor’s documents. It’s just that Xue Daoyong, that ferocious tiger, has tied up his attention and forced him to invest in matters concerning discord between the Emperor and his ministers."
