Chapter 36 Public Grievances

Originally, Su Leng thought it would be a pity to use that [King of Killer] character card in this world.

After all, this is an ancient setting. Of the four master skills of [King of Killers], only "Master Combat Technique" and "Master Level Camouflage Technique" are useful, and the remaining "Master Level Marksmanship" and "Master Level Firearms Knowledge" are

It has no place in this world.

But the ability of [Self-omniscient] actually preserved those knowledge skills. This surprised Su Leng, and he also realized that there was obviously a lot of room for development in the ability of [Self-omniscient].

"It is normal to be able to see the text information transformed by other people's life experiences. After using character cards, this knowledge-based skill is preserved."

Master level firearms knowledge, master level camouflage skills, these are skills that can be understood through text and behavioral cognition. The ability of [self-knowledge] can convert other people's life experience information into text and retain it.

In this way, after using the character card of [King of Killers], it is reasonable to acquire such cognitive knowledge and skills and at the same time be preserved by the ability of [Self-knowledge].

Of course, practical ability and theoretical knowledge are two different things.

He just has this kind of knowledge now. If he really uses this knowledge to do it, such as assembling firearms in the "Master Firearms Knowledge" skill, the only difference between him and ordinary people is that he knows the correct steps, but when he really does it,

, the speed is actually not much different from ordinary people.

In the same way, after the 24-hour time limit of the character card expires, the same goes for "Master Marksmanship" and "Master Combat Skills" that disappear from the skill bar.

He knows how to shoot accurately when shooting, and how to hit the vital point when fighting with others, but when it comes to execution, he is not much different from a weak beginner.

This kind of skill mainly relies on muscle memory. It does not mean that you can do it once you know it. It also requires long-term and continuous practice to form physical muscle memory.

Of course, knowing how to do it is definitely much better than not knowing anything at all - at least you won't make detours.

As long as you practice persistently, you can slowly develop muscle memory and truly master master-level marksmanship and fighting skills.

When Su Leng thought about this, the first thing Su Leng thought of was the Vulcan Army soldiers with whom he usually competed.

These soldiers should be blessed next...

…

On the fifth day after Shourong City was attacked, the Huorong Kingdom invaded the Zhou border again.

Moreover, this time due to the invasion and plunder of the Vulcan Army, the ferocity of all the tribes in the entire Tinder Kingdom was aroused, unprecedented unity was achieved, and the military's combat capabilities increased dramatically!

The Thirteenth Prince, the "God of War", was seriously injured and fell into a coma but still did not wake up.

The Vulcan Army lacked the "God of War", coupled with the loss of troops and generals caused by the rash invasion of the Tinder Kingdom for plunder, the Vulcan Army was defeated by the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom.

The originally good situation was reversed in an instant!

At this moment, an imperial edict suddenly came from the capital, instantly causing the entire Vulcan Army to explode!

"What do you mean?! I clearly made it clear in my memorial! It was me who was greedy for power and rushed forward, which caused the Vulcan Army to lose its troops. What does it have to do with His Highness the Thirteenth Highness? This matter not only has nothing to do with His Highness the Thirteenth Highness,

His Highness, the Thirteenth Highness, defended Shourong City to the death and saved the food and fodder for my Vulcan Army. This is a great achievement! It’s fine if the Emperor doesn’t reward me, but he blames my crime on His Highness the Thirteenth. How can such an unfair reward and punishment be unfair?

Convincing everyone!!”

When the officials who came from the capital to convey the imperial edict finished reading about the punishment for Su Ling, they had been suffering defeats for the past few days. Moreover, due to their greed for merit and reckless advancement, they had caused the Vulcan Army to lose troops and Su Ling had been seriously injured. Chen Kuizong, who was still in coma, completely exploded.

Got it!

As the commander of an army, he shouldn't be so impulsive. When Su Leng failed to receive the rewards he deserved for his repeated military exploits, causing the soldiers and generals to express their displeasure for Su Leng, he remained silent.

It is precisely because he knows that he is the commander of the Vulcan Army, and his words and deeds determine the life and death of his soldiers and generals. He should not act impulsively under any circumstances. He must always be calm and not be impulsive.

But this time, he couldn't bear it anymore!

He is really angry!

His Highness Thirteenth Highness made selfless sacrifices for the Vulcan Army and led the Vulcan Army to successive victories. Each time, he defeated the barbarians of the Tinder Kingdom at the smallest cost, and did not take any credit.

Even if he encountered injustice again and again, he did not complain at all. He regarded the safety of the Great Zhou as his own responsibility and vowed to drive the Tinder Barbarians out of the Great Zhou and defend the territory of the Great Zhou!

Even when they complained about it, he comforted them in turn.

Why is such a good and upright person targeted in such a way?!

Just because the current Holy One is displeased?!

What the fuck is this nonsense!!

Chen Kuizong stood up suddenly, glared at the officials who came from the capital to convey the imperial edict, and shouted loudly: "If the emperor really wants to find someone to punish, then punish me! It's me who is greedy for credit and rash! It's me who didn't listen to His Highness Thirteenth Prince! I am willing

Accept any punishment for His Highness Thirteenth Prince! Even if it means taking my life! Come! Come and punish me! Punish me!"

When he was angry, the surrounding Vulcan Army also had angry faces. Looking at the officials delivering the imperial edict, their eyes almost burst out with fire!

Faced with Chen Kuizong's aggressiveness and the terrifying aura around him, the official who delivered the imperial edict was frightened and backed away. He said urgently: "General Chen, please don't embarrass me. This is His Majesty's order. I am just responsible."

It’s just conveyed.”

"Bullshit imperial edict!"

Chen Kuizong cursed angrily, and with a flick of his backhand, he knocked the edict out of the official's hand and continued to curse.

But at this moment, a weak voice suddenly came: "General Chen, don't be like this..."

Su Leng, who was wrapped in blood-stained muslin and looked pale, walked out of the camp with a long spear and said intermittently: "No... don't resist the order... This matter is indeed... it is indeed my dereliction of duty... As the coach, I did not

It's my fault that I...failed to persuade you...I'm willing to be punished...I accept the order!"

While talking, Su Leng staggered out of the tent, slowly bent down to pick up the imperial edict that had been knocked away, and then expressed his acceptance of the edict.

Seeing this scene, the official who delivered the imperial edict breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as his mission is completed, the rest doesn't matter to him.

"But Your Highness——"

Looking at Su Ling like this, all the regret, guilt, self-blame that Chen Kuizong had accumulated over the past few days, as well as the resentment that had been hidden and accumulated in his heart over the past few months and felt unfair for Su Ling, had reached their peak!

But Su Leng raised his hand to stop what he was about to say. After looking at him, he shook his head and said: "General Chen, fight well and drive out those Tinder Kingdom barbarians, so that my desperate defense will not be in vain."

The city and the food to protect it.”

After hearing these words, all the soldiers and generals of the Vulcan Army who were present finally couldn't bear it anymore and collectively broke through the defense.

"Your Highness!"

They shouted together and wanted to say something, but they saw Su Leng frowning slightly and had to stop.

Finally, Chen Kuizong shouted with tears in his eyes: "Send off to Your Highness!"

When everyone in the Vulcan Army heard this, they all shouted in unison with tears in their eyes, and their voices shook the entire sky: "Send off to Your Highness!!!"

At this point, Su Leng received the imperial edict of condemnation and returned to the capital from the northern border.

The old emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Su Leng did not resist, but obediently accepted the order and returned to the capital.

Especially when he learned that the Vulcan Army seemed to be aggrieved on Su Leng's behalf for his move, and that the Vulcan Army had probably favored Su Ling, this made him even more grateful.

"Fortunately, I was able to control this kid in time, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with in the future."

However, what he didn't know was that Su Leng went to the north to conquer the Tinder Kingdom barbarians, and then made many military exploits, leading the Vulcan Army to defeat the Tinder Kingdom barbarians, but he did not receive any corresponding rewards.

In fact, it has been widely spread among the people.

Among the common people, from the beginning, they just treated this matter as a conversation piece after dinner, then gradually some people began to pity and pity Su Ling, and then as the fermentation continued, more and more people began to feel that the Thirteenth Prince was pitiful, all over the Zhou Dynasty

There were people who complained about Su Leng.

Of course, these people were just complaining, so they didn't attract much attention.

But this time it's different.

Su Leng's experience was once again spread by "careful people". It was clearly the case of Zhenbei General Chen Kuizong who was greedy for power and rashly advanced, but the current emperor blamed the crime on the Thirteenth Prince.

In particular, the Thirteenth Prince had tried to dissuade Chen Kuizong, and when the barbarian wolf cavalry from the Tinder Kingdom attacked Shourong City, he resisted desperately and fought bloody battles. In the end, he was cut with scars everywhere and was covered in blood. Only then did he finally defend the city.

Shourong City saved part of the food and grass so that the northern border would not fall.

For this great achievement, it was fine not to receive a reward, but he was actually recalled to the capital by the current sage and imprisoned in the sect's mansion!

Anyone who sees or hears such an encounter can't help but get angry!

"How can the pillars of the country be treated so unfairly? If this continues, the great Zhou Dynasty will lose its strength sooner or later!"

"I heard that the Thirteenth Prince wanted to marry a brothel girl in his early years, bringing disgrace to the royal family, and this led to the displeasure of the current Holy Emperor."

"No one is a sage, how can he be without faults? Has the current sage himself not made any mistakes? Besides, that happened when the Thirteenth Prince was young. It is normal for a young man to fall in love and be carried away by love!"

"That's right, I heard from my grandfather that it is said that the current Holy Emperor did some treacherous things in order to succeed to the throne..."

"Is the old emperor crazy? It would be foolish not to make such a unique genius a prince and inherit the throne. But he still treats him so unfairly. The Great Zhou Dynasty is about to end!"

…

There has been a lot of criticism among the people because of Su Leng's experience!

Just because the injustice this time is too obvious!

Not giving due rewards when you win a battle, but severely punishing you when you lose once. This is too obvious!

What's more, the Vulcan Army is not defeated at all. Didn't Shourong City be defended? Didn't the food and grass be saved? What kind of defeat is this?!

For a time, there were a lot of dissatisfied voices among the people.
To be continued...
