Chapter Twenty-Four: Swords and Swords

The tragedy of Count Pinghu's destruction became a joke in the upper echelons of the southeastern states.

In the code of nobility, there is a principle of the content of the surname: grievances between nobles can be resolved by force on their own, whether it is a duel or a war, as long as it does not involve other families, it is allowed.

In fact, this code has been forgotten by most people, for the simple reason that no matter what era it is, the agreement on paper such as the legal code and the actual implementation in reality are often two different things.

Because the "aristocracy" is a circle, in this circle, it is more important to abide by the unspoken rules, the aristocracy is actually more of a relationship of mutual dependence and mutual assistance, even if there are occasional contradictions, even life and death contradictions, at most it is to sacrifice a few people to each other, or make major compromises and concessions, no nobleman will really go to destroy another nobleman.

After all, for aristocrats and politicians, no hatred is irresolvable, in fact there is no hatred at all, only interests.

And benefits can be shared, compromised, compromised, and exchanged.

This kind of thing is very serious, and it will make other nobles in this circle feel insecure, so even if there is a strong hatred that cannot be resolved, it can often be solved by sacrificing one or two core family members.

Even if it appears occasionally, it is also the destruction of the big nobles to the small nobles, at least it is also two nobles with similar status and strength, like this incident, a mere third-class baron, actually put an earl, oh no, now it is the marquis's family, and it is the first time it has happened in the new era.

It is said that the Marquis of Pinghu was so angry on the spot that he vomited blood three times, and his superpowers had degraded by a whole order, and he was still being rescued.

And the reputation does not seem to be a third-class baron, Wang Hao, also jumped into the field of vision of the aristocratic circle of the southeast state, and most people's first impression of this person is that he is bloodthirsty, rough, and lustful murderer, a person who does not play cards according to the rules.

Not according to the rules of the card, most of the time is actually not a compliment, you do not play according to the rules, the most direct consequence is that no one in the circle will take you to play in the future.

And this is exactly what Wang Hao wants.

Although there is no legal basis to punish Wang Hao, the Grand Duke of Southeast is still furious, after all, when the Marquis' Mansion was destroyed, the Marquis of Pinghu was meeting with the Grand Duke with all the elites, which was tantamount to embarrassing the Grand Duke fiercely.

Of course, there are also many nobles who are clamoring to punish this arrogant inferior nobleman, and even formed a petition group, a group of old guys who may not have much force, but are qualified to participate in the parliament of the southeast state, gathered in tears in front of the southeast duke, and have been demanding that Wang Hao be severely punished.

The will of the people cannot be violated, and the members of the council who "represent" the will of the people are not easily offended, so the Grand Duke ordered a thorough investigation of the origin of the third-class baron in this district.

A large group of guys who were eager to slap the sycophants of the Grand Duke and the new Marquis of Pinghu immediately took action!

This kind of person eats by private activities, which is extremely efficient, and it takes less than two days to reach a preliminary conclusion, but the result is very embarrassing.

This little nobleman from the countryside doesn't have any relevant resume information, but there is only one point: this guy saved the life of Zhenhaihou's only daughter, and he was recommended by Zhenhaihou.

All calls for punishment were silenced.

When the Grand Duke was about to invite the members of the petition group to discuss whether to kill or imprison Wang Hao, the parliamentarians who had been indignant a day ago seemed to be a different person, completely forgetting the purpose of their visit this time.

"The code of nobility is sacred and inviolable, and what this third-class baron has done is completely in line with the code of nobility, so I don't think there is any need to punish it." A white-bearded old man said righteously.

The Grand Duke of the Southeast pursed his lips and smiled, and yesterday the old man said that he would exterminate this third-class baron.

"What do you mean?"

The Grand Duke of Southeast squinted his eyes and looked at the people in the hall, and at the same time, a strong momentum suddenly rose on his body, and all the glassware in the hall of the Duke's Palace, which was thousands of square meters, resonated violently, as if playing a prelude to killing.

The Grand Duke said murderously: "Although the Marquis of Zhenhai is strong, he can't be an enemy of the entire aristocratic class!" You don't have to worry, if you have any ideas, no matter who wants to kill that presumptuous little nobleman, my father will fully support it! ”

The Grand Duke's eyes swept over the faces of the members of the petition group who were seated, full of encouragement.

"No, no, no!" The nobleman, who was swept by the eyes of the Grand Duke, waved his hand again and again.

Just kidding, killing a third-class baron, the nobles sitting here are confident that their families can easily do it, but the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion will report that it is famous, and the tragedy of the Blood Cow Company is just around the corner, who is willing to offend the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion for an irrelevant Pinghu Marquis.

Isn't that looking for death? Not to mention the support of a southeastern grand duke, even if they have the background of the king of Huaxia, and borrow a few of their courage, they don't dare to provoke the Marquis of Zhenhai.

If someone really stupidly agreed, I am afraid that before he could strangle Wang Hao, this person's head would be cut off by his family and sent to the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion to make amends.

"The Grand Duke is too cunning to do it himself, so he sent us to be the first birds." Someone thought to himself.

Seeing that the nobles in the hall were silent, the Grand Duke smiled, and the momentum on his body suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

"Since you all think that the third-class baron Wang Hao is not guilty, then this matter will be settled."

The Grand Duke waved his hand lazily, as if to say another innocuous trivial matter, and said lightly: "However, in order to compensate for the psychological trauma of the Marquis of Pinghu, the Duke decided to deduct Wang Hao's three years of income and give it all to the Marquis of Pinghu." ”

"The Grand Duke is wise!"

There was a flood of sycophants in the audience.

A few days later, the Marquis of Pinghu, who was receiving oxygen on the hospital bed, took the initiative to ask to resign from all positions, only retain the original earl title, and return to his hometown to retire.

A few days later, a high-ranking guard of the Duke's Mansion revealed a shocking news intentionally or unintentionally when he was drinking with a few friends: Marquis Pinghu had secretly kidnapped the only daughter of the Grand Duke, Miss Su Mo.

All the nobles who had petitioned for Count Pinghu shuddered.

It is not because of the means of the Grand Duke, the means and strength of the Grand Duke have long been famous throughout the Chinese Empire, otherwise the Imperial Parliament would not have placed the hot potato of the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion in the territory of the southeastern state.

but because of the stupidity of Count Pinghu.

Isn't this looking for death?

Wang Hao didn't know what was happening in Lin'an City, he was sitting on an off-road vehicle eating hot pot, singing, and very much hoping to meet a robber who didn't open his eyes to provide some source of life.

Since learning to drive, Phantom Brain has become Wang Hao's full-time secretary and driver. It seems to be very keen to experience new things, especially when new things can still serve Wang Hao's master, this kind of opportunity it will not miss.

Wang Hao threw the hot pot residue out of the car without any sense of environmental protection, and the phone rang at this time.

As a nobleman, in addition to the family badge and related documents, a special mobile phone is also distributed by the state, iphone12 luxury enhanced version, in addition to the normal iphone12 function, there is also a special channel for the nobility, which can receive the important information and orders of the parliament in the aristocratic circle of the southeast state for the first time.

In an inconspicuous place on the mobile phone, there was a mass notice: Third-class baron Wang Hao behaved improperly and was fined for three years.

Wang Hao glanced at it and deleted it casually, and it didn't matter if he was punished for eighty years.

The reason why he dared to slaughter the Earl's Mansion was that in addition to the big tiger skin of the Marquis of Zhenhai's Mansion, he had already carefully studied the rules and regulations, not to mention that there was a news that made him almost vomit blood at that time: Su Mo is the only daughter of the Grand Duke of the Southeast!

The daughter of the Grand Duke?

Grand duke? Huangfu Yun?

Wang Hao Huo Huo laughed: How can these masters live beautiful girls? Iniquity does not accumulate virtue.

In this case, if he doesn't kill people again, Wang Hao will smoke his own big-eared melon seeds.

The only thing that was a little disappointed was that when she left Lin'an City, Su Mo's little lady didn't come to see her off.

To be honest, Wang Hao found that he liked this girl a lot, even if she was a new human.

A killing in the Pinghu Earl's Mansion was not a small gain, more than four hundred life origins, plus the original, it was enough to produce another fourth-order ability.

There is no doubt that the fourth-order cold weapon control.

Fourth-order control, in addition to the greater lethality that can be caused than the third-order, also has a derivative skill: sword light and sword shadow.

"If I use a sword, if I use a spear or other weapon, the name seems nondescript."

Wang Hao looked at the new ability and felt that the effect was quite practical.

The so-called "Sword Shadow" allows the user to perform three to five attacks in a single attack time.

In other words, if you used to cut one knife, you can now cut at least three times.

Facing the air, using the skill of "Sword Light and Sword Shadow" to volley and slash, sure enough, four knife shadows were brought out under one knife, almost forming a knife fan in front of him, and the four knives were issued one after another, but almost at the same time hit the air in front of him, and the order was completely indistinguishable with the naked eye, and the power of each knife was almost equal, almost the same as his own full blow.

Wang Hao pumped excitedly, if other factors were not counted, in terms of the lethality of this knife alone, wouldn't it be four times higher at once?

But Wang Hao is by no means a guy who is content with the status quo and does not want to forge ahead, and he quickly found out the flaws of "sword light and sword shadow".

If you can overlap the landing point of the other three knives with the first point, then the power of this knife will be incredible, and even if you encounter a character like a guardian with a solidified body again, you can cut him into two pieces with one sword.

And the actual situation now is that in addition to the first knife, the remaining three knife attack points, it is difficult for them to completely control, no matter how much they concentrate, the landing points of the remaining three knives can only be controlled within a range of ten centimeters relatively accurately.

Therefore, sword light and sword shadow is a good skill in group battles, whether it is a human body or a mutant beast, the difference of ten centimeters is not a big problem, cutting the neck is death, cutting on the head is still a death, but for real masters, the lethality increase is limited.

But Wang Hao is not in a hurry, because there are also combination skills.
