Chapter: 2231

“Murong Zhenguo, you are a dignified general protecting the country, what kind of ability do you have to

bully my juniors here?”

Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice sounded in the air.

Everyone subconsciously followed the sound and saw a white figure suddenly rising from the ground

towards the inner courtyard in the distance and jumping into the sky above everyone’s heads.

Immediately afterwards, the white figure turned around and swooped down like an eagle, carrying the

power of destroying the world.

When it was about to fall heavily, the white figure stretched out his arms, and the impact stopped

instantly.

The wind was blowing on the soles of his feet, and his whole body was like a feather, hovering lightly

and falling to the ground silently.

Ability to move fast or slow, to send and receive freely, and powerful martial arts attainments are fully

demonstrated at this moment.

When the white figure fell to the ground, everyone could see clearly that it was a white-haired old man.

The old man was wearing a Tang suit, with a thin figure and a withered face, but his eyes were bright

and sometimes showed a terrifying edge.

The old man is the backbone of the Shangguan family – Shangguan Pengcheng!

“grandfather?”

Shangguanhong couldn’t help but his eyes lit up when he saw the person coming.

The restlessness just now calmed down in an instant.

The Shangguan family’s Dinghai magic needle has appeared. Even if Xia Yongkang and Murong

Zhenguo join forces, there is nothing to be afraid of.

“Uncle Zhongyong—Shangguan Pengcheng?!”

Xia Yongkang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became solemn.

As an extremely wealthy family, the Shangguan family has been dominant for hundreds of years

because of the accumulation of history.

Especially the previous patriarch, Shangguan Pengcheng, was a generation of great talents.

In the early years of the struggle for imperial power, he had a vicious vision and chose the right master.

Then he supported him all the way to the top and became a minister of the official family. In the end, he

was personally awarded the title of Uncle Zhongyong.

His power and status, as well as his personal bravery, are not weaker than Murong Zhenguo at all.

Even in some respects, even better.

The only difference is that Murong Zhenguo performed meritorious service on the battlefield, while

Shangguan Pengcheng fought hard in the officialdom.

Although the Tao is different, they are all top-notch people.

“Hahaha… Great, great, the old patriarch finally appeared!”

“With the old patriarch sitting in town, who dares to act presumptuously at Shangguan’s house?”

Seeing Shangguan Pengcheng, the clan members of Shangguan’s family all showed joy.

As if they had found their backbone, they were all refreshed after the previous decline.

“Daughter! We are saved! We are saved!”

Cao Jun was extremely excited if he was granted amnesty.

He was still worried about how it would end, but the appearance of Shangguan Pengcheng gave him

hope.

Chapter: 2232

“Great! I really did not choose the wrong person!”

Cao Zhiyuan was also overjoyed.

Not only does Shangguanhong have a bright future, but he also has a grandpa in a high position.

Uncle Zhongyong is a noble title. Although he has no real power, it represents supreme glory and an

unfathomable network of contacts.

Even at critical moments, you can meet officials directly.

With such a big man in charge, who can shake the Shangguan family?

“Lu Chen, Lu Chen, so what if you have the support of Governor Xia? Even if you have the old general

Murong as your backer? You still can’t save Concubine Cao Xuan, you can’t change the situation after

all, you are forever, only worthy of being stepped on by us underfoot!”

Cao Zhiyuan whispered to herself and sneered again and again.

She admitted that Chase Lu had something, but unfortunately, he still couldn’t make any big waves.

“Murong Zhenguo, you are all dignified figures after all, but now you are bullying my grandson in public,

do you really think I have no one in Shangguan’s family?”

Shangguan Pengcheng stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression indifferent, and his tone

was questioning.

They’ve already come to make trouble, so of course he doesn’t need to be polite.

“Shangguan Pengcheng, let’s figure it out first. It was your grandson who started the trouble first. We’re

just seeking justice. Is there any problem?” Murong Zhenguo said lightly.

“You want to seek justice, talk to me directly, bully a junior, what kind of skills do you have?”

Shangguan Pengcheng was domineering.

“You have been unable to retreat, who knows where you are?” Murong Zhenguo sneered.

“Now that I’m out, what do you have to say?” Shangguan Pengcheng looked intently.

“Your grandson tied up someone who shouldn’t be tied up, let her go, everyone is safe today, otherwise

you will be in big trouble.” Murong Zhenguo cut to the chase.

“Kidnapping?” Shangguan Pengcheng looked sideways at his grandson and asked, “Is there any?”

“No.” Shangguanhong shook his head.

“Hey, did you hear that? My Hong’er said no, you can go.” Shangguan Pengcheng waved his hand, as

if to chase away flies.

“You are going to send us away without saying a word? Do you think we are idiots?” Murong Zhenguo’s

face turned cold.

“Then what do you want?” Shangguan Pengcheng’s eyes were a little unkind.

“Either hand over the person voluntarily; or we go in and search, and you choose one yourself.”

Murong Zhenguo said unceremoniously.

“If you don’t have the important person, it’s even more impossible to go in and search. Our Shangguan

family is not a place for you to run wild!” Shangguan Pengcheng said solemnly.

“Hey! You old bastard! Oil and salt don’t go in, right?”

Murong Zhenguo was a little annoyed: “Believe it or not, I tore you down today!”

“Demolish my house? Do you have the ability?”

Shangguan Pengcheng snorted coldly: “Murong Zhenguo, you don’t think that if you bring some people

here today, you can run wild on my territory, right? Your general’s mansion is powerful, but my Earl’s

mansion is not in vain! If anyone dares to be arrogant here, I have the right to kill him first and then

punish him later!”

“Cut first and play later, right? Come on, let’s practice and see whose fist is stronger!” Murong Zhenguo

rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight.

Instead of forcing Lai Lai, it would be better to have a happy fight.

Chapter: 2233

“Murong Zhenguo, you want to take action, right? OK, I’ll find someone to accompany you!”

Shangguan Pengcheng suddenly turned up the volume, and shouted from the air: “Brother Yuanqing,

it’s your turn!”

“Hahahahaha…”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of thunderous laughter, which suddenly exploded out of

thin air.

The laughter seemed to come from all directions, deafening. Ordinary people were so shocked that

they covered their ears subconsciously.

At the same time as the laughter sounded, a red figure suddenly fell from the sky, like a cannonball,

and hit the center of the field heavily.

“boom!!”

There was a loud bang.

Debris flew and smoke flew everywhere.

A huge gust of wind, centered on the landing point, swept away in all directions, making people’s hair

stand on end, their clothes rustling, and they couldn’t even open their eyes.

After the strong wind passed, a middle-aged man wearing a fiery red robe with gray hair on his temples

walked out with his head held high.

The man was tall and had sharp eyes. His whole body was like a ball of fire, with a scorching wave of

air coming from his body, and the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly.

Wherever it passed, the crowd was sweating profusely, short of breath, and extremely hot.

“It’s Tuoba Yuanqing! It’s Tuoba Yuanqing, one of the five great masters in Jiangnan!”

After seeing the man’s face clearly, the entire scene was in an uproar.

“What? Tuoba Yuanqing? Why is he here?”

“Dear me! I didn’t expect that there is a top martial arts master hiding in Earl Shangguan’s mansion!”

“With Tuoba Yuanqing in charge, it seems that Old General Murong and the others won’t be able to

bargain today.”

“…”

The appearance of Tuoba Yuanqing caused a lot of discussion among the people.

The five great masters in the south of the Yangtze River are all top-notch experts, and one person can

stop ten thousand armies.

The Shangguan family was already powerful, and now with the addition of Tuo Ba Yuan Qing, it was

even more powerful!

“Brother Pengcheng, I heard that someone is making trouble here. I wonder who is so bold?”

Tuoba Yuanqing stepped forward with an arrogant look on his face, his whole person full of aura, not

hiding his edge at all.

“Hey, that’s what’s in front of you.”

Shangguan Pengcheng looked at Murong Zhenguo and the others pointedly, and said coldly: “Murong

Zhenguo, don’t you want to fight? Come on, try your hand with brother Yuanqing and see if you can

hold on with your old bones.” How many tricks did you do?”

“Um?”

Hearing this, Murong Zhenguo couldn’t help but frown.

He naturally knew Tuoba Yuan Qing’s strength, he was a powerhouse on the same level as Huangfu

Longteng.

In terms of force value alone, it is already the pinnacle of Jiangnan.

Chapter: 2234

Even in his prime, he was not sure he could win a fight, not to mention he was injured two days ago.

If I really want to do it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any cheap.

“Old man, what’s the point of asking for foreign aid? If you have the guts, you can fight with me!”

Murong Zhenguo avoided the easy matter and planned to have a duel with Guan Pengcheng directly.

“Brother Yuan Qing is a guest of my Earl’s Mansion, not a foreign aid.”

Shangguan Pengcheng said indifferently: “Besides, I’m just a civil servant. I don’t want to fight. If you

want to fight, just fight with brother Yuan Qing. Of course, if you don’t dare, then take your people and

get out of here in despair. !”

“Old guy, are you playing this trick with me? Do you really think I can’t do anything to you?” Murong

Zhenguo had a stern face.

“Old General Murong, I heard that you have fought in the battlefield for many years, and your

cultivation level is astonishing, and you have never been defeated. I really want to see it.”

At this time, Tuoba Yuanqing said with a smile that was not a smile: “It is said that there is no distinction

between military and martial arts. I am very curious. Is it your killing skills that are good, or my martial

arts attainments are better?”

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion all around.

This is already a naked provocation.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry. If it is a formation of troops, Murong

Zhenguo will naturally win.

But when it comes to martial arts cultivation, looking at the entire Jiangnan, there are not many people

who are Tuoba Yuanqing’s opponents.

The problem is, others are already riding on his face. If Murong Zhenguo refuses, it will cause great

damage to his reputation and dignity.

“Tuoba Yuanqing, you are not qualified to challenge the old general of the Murong family, let me meet

you!”

At this time, a cold female voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a stunning woman wearing a red outfit with short silver hair

walking in with a high profile.

The woman held a three-foot Qingfeng sword in her hand, her temperament was cold, her eyes were

indifferent, and there was a bit of heroism between her brows.

The whole person looks majestic and heroic.

“Oh my god! It’s Hongying God of War! Hongying God of War is here too!”

“Fuck! Am I reading that right? Even the strongest female God of War in the Dragon Kingdom has

arrived? What’s going on today?”

“Gods fight! It’s really a fight between gods!”

Seeing Zhao Hongying entering the door with her sword in hand, everyone at the scene made another

noise.

You know, these are big figures standing on the top of the Dragon Kingdom.

Normally, it would be a great honor for them to see one person, but now that so many shocking

existences suddenly appear, it is really unbelievable.

“It’s her again? Here she comes again!”

Cao Zhiyuan shrank his neck in fright and quickly hid behind Shangguan Hong.

The scene of Zhao Hongying beheading Cao Yiming with a single sword in Cao’s house last time is still

vivid in her mind, and she already has a shadow in her heart.

Now seeing this female killer again, it is even more difficult to hide the fear in my heart.

“No way? Could it be that the God of War with Red Tassels was also invited by Lu Chen?”

Cao Jun and others looked pale as if they were struck by lightning.

Chapter: 2235

The last time Zhao Hongying appeared in Cao’s house, they could still regard it as a coincidence, but

now the other party showed up again, obviously the relationship with Lu Chen is not simple.

“Zhao Hongying?”

Shangguan Hong frowned, his face became serious.

Looking at the entire Dragon Kingdom, among the younger generation, there are only a handful of

people who are better than him.

But Zhao Hongying is one of them.

He has struggled for many years, and now he is only a third-grade general with great power, while

Zhao Hongying has become a first-grade war god and has the right to talk to officials.

The gap between the two sides cannot be exaggerated to describe the difference between clouds and

mud.

“Oh? It turns out that the daughter of the Zhao family has arrived?”

Murong Zhenguo smiled slightly, not too surprised.

Given Lu Chen’s identity, it’s not surprising that someone from the Zhao family showed up.

“Hey! Why are you walking so fast? Can you wait for me?”

As soon as Zhao Hongying walked in, another group of people followed her.

The leader was a well-dressed man with a handsome face.

The man is somewhat similar to Zhao Hongying, and his temperament is also otherworldly. Standing

among the crowd, he seems to stand out from the crowd, very outstanding.

His appearance seemed harmless, but the sharpness revealed in his eyes made people shudder.

“Zao Wou-ki! It’s the military god Zao Wou-ki!”

After seeing the man’s appearance clearly, the whole place exploded.

“What? Military God Zhao Wuji? How is that possible?!”

“My dear mother! First it was the Red Tasseled Goddess of War, and now it is the God of War, and now

it is the God of War. The twin stars of the Zhao family all appeared together. Could it be that the sky is

falling?!”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

“What the hell happened? Who can invite the twin stars of the Zhao family?!”

Because of Zhao Wou-ki’s appearance, the noisy scene became even more heated.

You know, the reputation of the God of War Zhao Wuji is no worse than that of the female God of War

Zhao Hongying, and is even better.

Zhao Hongying’s military merit and official position were forcibly obtained from the sea of blood from

the mountain of corpses with her own punches and kicks.

The root of it is because of the strong martial arts cultivation base, daring to fight and fighting is not

afraid of death.

Zhao Wuji was just the opposite. Although he was good at martial arts, he always relied on outsmarting

to win.

Since joining the army, he has never been defeated in dozens of battles, large and small, and in almost

all battles, he has defeated more with less, and the weak has defeated the strong.

It is the real strategizing, using soldiers like gods.

If Zhao Hongying is amazing in martial arts, then Zhao Wuji is as intelligent as a monster.

The two brothers and sisters, one civil and one military, are known as the twin stars of the Zhao family.

Their military accomplishments are unmatched in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

“It’s over, it’s over, even the military god Zhao Wuji is here. Now we are in big trouble!” Cao Zhiyuan

was panicked and sweating profusely.

Chapter: 2236

Zhao Hongying, the god of war, is already very difficult to deal with, and adding Zhao Wuji, the god of

war, is undoubtedly a double blow.

Even the Shangguan family would find it difficult to resist.

“How could this be? Could it be that the Cao family is really hopeless?”

Cao Jun and the others were ashamed and their legs were weak.

Once the Shangguan family cannot withstand the pressure, they will definitely put all the blame on the

Cao family.

At that time, these people will become scapegoats.

“Zhao Hongying? Zhao Wuji? Why are they all here?”

Shangguan Hong frowned deeply, his face was ugly.

The twin stars of the Zhao family are the leaders among the young talents of the Dragon Kingdom and

the future pillars of the country.

Regardless of status, or the power in his hands, they are far superior to him.

The two of them appeared at the same time, like two mountains, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

“Yo! It’s so lively here!”

Zhao Wuji glanced around, and then under the spotlight, together with Zhao Hongying, walked straight

to Lu Chen and said with a smile: “Old Lu, we shouldn’t be late, right?”

“No, the time is just right.” Lu Chen nodded.

“That’s fine.”

Zhao Wuji smiled, and clasped fists at Murong Zhenguo and Xia Yongkang respectively: “I’ve seen the

old general, I’ve seen Governor Xia.”

“Military God doesn’t need to be polite.” Xia Yongkang immediately returned the salute.

Zhao Wuji’s official position was similar to his on the surface, but he had greater power.

The most important thing is that Zhao Wuji is less than thirty years old now, and his future prospects

are limitless. He can be granted the title of Duke or King.

“Even you two little fellows are here, I, an old man, can finally rest.” Murong Zhenguo said, stepped

aside resolutely, with an expression of watching a show.

“Tuoba Yuanqing, don’t you want to fight? Let me fight with you!”

Zhao Hongying didn’t waste any time and directly pulled out the Qingfeng Sword. The tip of the sword

was pointed directly at Tuoba Yuanqing, full of fighting spirit.

It’s very rare to fight against such a top master. I want to have a good time today.

“this……”

Tuoba Yuanqing’s expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at Shangguan Pengcheng next to

him.

He naturally had no psychological burden when fighting Murong Zhenguo, because the Shangguan

family was not afraid of the General’s Mansion, and even had to fight against him.

But Zhao Hongying is different. The other party is not only the God of War of the Dragon Kingdom, but

also backed by the royal Zhao family, and is highly regarded by the officials.

He is the true rising star of the country and a powerful figure in the future.

How could he, a martial artist, dare to offend such a monster?

Even if he could fight, he wouldn’t dare to fight.

Chapter: 2237

“Why didn’t you say anything? Aren’t you very powerful just now? If you have the ability to fight with

me, let’s see how much you weigh?”

Zhao Hongying continued to provoke with a cold face.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Tuoba Yuanqing.

Now Tuoba Yuanqing is riding a tiger. If he gives up, it will damage his reputation, but if he wins, it will

be even more troublesome.

Maybe it will alert the senior officials of the Zhenwu Division and get on the blacklist.

“Niece Hongying, your father and I used to be quite friendly, isn’t it inappropriate for you to bring people

to my house to make trouble?” Shangguan Pengcheng said with a solemn expression.

“It’s none of my business that you have a relationship with my father?” Zhao Hongying said

unceremoniously.

“you–!”

Shangguan Pengcheng was furious for a moment.

After all, he is an earl, so being yelled at by a junior like this is really a bit of a slap in the face.

“Okay, okay, calm down a little bit.”

Zhao Wuji stepped forward with a smile, and said: “My lord, we came here today not to cause trouble,

but to seek justice. You have arrested some people who shouldn’t be arrested. If you don’t want to fight

with each other, you’d better arrest them.” The person was released, so hello me, hello everyone.”

“Nephew Wuji, have you misunderstood something? Our Shangguan family has always valued peace

and never used lynching indiscriminately. What’s more, today is my grandson’s engagement day. How

can we arrest people randomly?” Shangguan Pengcheng asked. Not acknowledged.

“Lord Earl, if you want to talk to me in an official tone, it will be meaningless. Your Shangguan family

knows very well what they have done. It is the wisest choice to admit your mistake in time before things

get too serious.” Zhao Wuji smiles on his face but doesn’t smile on his face.

“Nephew Wuji, our Shangguan family is upright and upright, and we will never do anything outrageous.

I think you must have been deceived.” Shangguan Pengcheng said solemnly.

“My lord, I am trying to persuade you. If you don’t listen, you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Zhao Wuji’s smile slowly faded: “My sister is not as good-tempered as me. If you really annoy her, the

sky will make a hole in her. You have to weigh it yourself.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can search around to see if my words are true or false?”

Shangguan Pengcheng spread his hands and made a gesture of invitation.

That calm appearance seemed very convincing.

“Shangguan Pengcheng, I’ve run out of good words, since you are so ungrateful, then don’t blame us

for being rude!” Zhao Wou-ki’s face turned cold, his eyes turned a little hostile.

The knife has already reached the neck, and I still have to hold on. I really don’t know what is going on

in my mind.

“Stop talking nonsense with him, this kind of person won’t cry until he sees the coffin!”

Zhao Hongying was very impatient and raised her hand directly: “Come here! Demolish this place!”

“yes!”

Following his order, the elite troops of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately started to move.

“Bold! Let’s see who dares to move!”

Shangguan Pengcheng roared, and the guards behind him immediately swarmed up to block the front,

confronting the tiger and leopard cavalry army.

The two sides are at war with each other and are full of gunpowder.

Just as the battle was about to break out, loud shouts suddenly exploded at the door.

Chapter: 2238

“Shangshu of the Ministry of War—Master Hu is here!!”

“The commander of the Imperial City Army—General Zhang is here!!”

“The eldest son of Marquis Deyi – Mr. Sun has arrived!!”

“…”

The shouts came one after another, each sound was deafening and resounded through the sky.

It’s frightening.

boom–!

When high-ranking officials and nobles came in one after another, the whole place exploded.

All kinds of noises were heard, one wave after another.

The Minister of War, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial City Army, the eldest son of Marquis

Deyi… and many dignitaries from Yanjing.

Looking around, a mighty group of big figures all filed in.

The momentum is huge and surging.

It is no exaggeration to say that any one of them can dominate the provincial capital and cover the sky

with one hand!

The guests present were so shocked that they were speechless.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their faces full of horror.

It was usually difficult for them to meet any of these big shots, but now they were flocking to them, and

they kept coming.

It was so dreamlike and unbelievable.

“Hahahaha… Mr. Hu, General Zhang, Mr. Sun, you are finally here!”

Seeing the distinguished guest coming, Shangguan Pengcheng couldn’t help but look happy, and

hurriedly led his people to greet him.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Hu Xuehai.

The commander of the Imperial City Army, Zhang Guozhong.

Deyihou’s eldest son, Sun Kang.

These are all the people who guide the country in Yanjing. Regardless of their status or power, they are

no worse than the Zhao family twins.

In particular, Hu Xuehai, the leader of the Ministry of War, is an existence at the pinnacle of power in

the Dragon Kingdom. His prestige is so high that even the officials have to sell a little bit of thin face.

With these great figures coming to help, even if the sky falls, they can withstand it.

“Lord Earl, long time no see. How are you these days?” Hu Xuehai asked with a smile.

“Okay, okay, I can still hold on for a while with this old bone.”

Shangguan Pengcheng smiled, then turned around and called out: “Hong’er, why are you still standing

there? Hurry up and say hello to Mr. Sun.”

“I met the teacher.”

Shangguan Hong stepped forward and bowed deeply to Hu Xuehai with a very respectful attitude.

Chapter: 2239

As soon as this move came out, the whole audience was stunned.

No one expected that Shangguanhong’s teacher turned out to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

No wonder he is in an important position at such a young age. It turns out he has a big backer behind

him.

“What? Brother Hong and Mr. Hu are actually masters and apprentices?”

Seeing this scene, Cao Zhiyuan was stunned at first, then showed ecstasy and excitement: “It’s great,

great! With the support of such a big shot, let’s see who dares to make a mistake!”

Who is the Minister of War?

A high-ranking official in the current dynasty, with a high position and powerful eyes, with hands and

eyes reaching the sky, standing above tens of millions of people!

Just a light stomp of the foot can shake the entire Jiangnan.

Even the twin stars of the Zhao family, who are so powerful in the world, dare not be too presumptuous

before the Ministry of War.

What’s more, not only the Minister of War, but also the commander of the Imperial City Army, the eldest

son of the Marquis, and many other dignitaries rushed to the Shangguan family’s aid.

When these people get together, even if they are relatives of the emperor, they have to avoid the edge

for the time being.

“As expected of a very wealthy family! They actually have such connections? Now we are finally

saved!”

Cao Jun and others wept with joy, as if seeing a savior.

When the Zhao family twins appeared, they thought the Shangguan family was doomed, and they were

even prepared to be treated as scapegoats.

However, the appearance of Hu Xuehai and others was like a beam of light in the darkness, giving

them hope of survival.

What about Governor Xia? What about Old General Murong? Even if the twins of the Zhao family are

added to the mix, they cannot really threaten the status of the Shangguan family in front of a group of

dignitaries headed by the Minister of War.

“Hong’er, today is your engagement day, and I don’t have anything to give you as a teacher. This jade

pendant has been with me for many years, and now I give it to you. I hope you will continue your efforts

and reach new heights in the future.”

Hu Xuehai smiled, took out a simple jade pendant, and handed it to Shangguan Hong.

“Thank you teacher.”

Shangguan Hong took it with both hands, respectfully.

“Lord Earl, something seems to be wrong with you here? Why do you look so tense?” Hu Xuehai

quickly noticed something was wrong.

“My lord Hu, we encountered some troubles at home today. Thank you for coming in time, otherwise

my Earl’s Mansion would have been demolished.” Shangguan Pengcheng said meaningfully.

“Oh? Who is so bold and dares to act wild in the Earl’s Mansion?” Hu Xuehai raised his eyebrows

slightly.

“Far away in the horizon, close in front of you.” Shangguan Pengcheng glanced forward.

Hu Xuehai took advantage of the situation and scanned everyone’s faces one by one: “The Governor

of Southern Province, the veteran protector of the country, the twin stars of the Zhao family…there are

so many people here.”

“Teacher, these guys are going too far. I hope you can uphold justice for us.” Shangguan Hong looked

respectful.

“Don’t worry, I have a good teacher here, no one dares to make mistakes.”

Hu Xuehai held his head high, staring at Lu Chen and his party with piercing eyes: “Everyone, if you

come to congratulate me today, I will welcome you, but if you want to make trouble, I, Hu, will never

agree!”

“Master Hu, it’s not us who are causing trouble, it’s the Shangguan family who has provoked people

they shouldn’t have provoked.”

Zhao Wuji said calmly: “For the sake of the fact that we are officials in the same dynasty, I would like to

advise you not to meddle in other people’s affairs, so as not to get burned.”

Chapter: 2240

“Oh? Are you threatening me?”

Hu Xuehai sneered: “Zhao Wuji, if your father were here, I would sell some thin noodles. As for you

two, they are still a little short of cooking.”

Although the Zhao family is powerful, he is not a soft persimmon. To be able to sit in this position today,

his network of relationships spreads all over the court.

He doesn’t need to be too afraid of the two young juniors.

“Hu Xuehai! I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. If you dare to stand up for the Shangguan

family, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Zhao Hongying pointed her sword at an angle, her eyes sharp.

“presumptuous!”

At this time, Zhang Guozhong, the commander of the Imperial City Army, suddenly stood up and

scolded: “Zhao Hongying! Do you still have a sense of superiority and inferiority? Anyway, Mr. Hu is

your predecessor. What is the use of your words here?” Decency?”

“Zhang! Who do you think you are? Do you want to tell me what to do?” Zhao Hongying was rude.

“Zhao Hongying! Don’t be too arrogant! Even though you are the God of War, I may not be afraid of

you!” Zhang Guozhong said sternly.

As the commander of the Imperial City Army, although he was only a second-grade military general, he

was successful because he held great power and was deeply trusted by the officials.

Even facing the female war goddess of the Dragon Kingdom, he still has the qualifications to challenge

her.

“If you are not afraid, then have a fight with me. Follow the rules of a military commander and live or die

according to destiny!” Zhao Hongying slowly raised her sword.

“you–!”

Zhang Guozhong was about to get angry, but Hu Xuehai raised his hand to stop him: “Zhao Hongying,

this is not a frontier, so you can’t do anything wrong. If you really dare to mess around, I will definitely

give you a book in front of the officials!”

“And I……”

At this time, Sun Kang, the eldest son of Marquis Deyi, also stood up, and said calmly: “Bullying the

imperial court officials, making troubles in the earl’s mansion, this kind of arrogant and domineering,

lawless behavior, my marquis mansion will never sit idly by. ”

“That’s right! We will never allow anyone to do evil here!”

At this moment, a group of dignitaries from Yanjing expressed their support.

For a time, the Shangguan family was full of momentum.

“More than people, right? I want to see how many heads you have!”

Seeing that everyone was shouting and shouting, Zhao Hongying didn’t talk nonsense, she raised her

sword and struck, she was particularly irritable.

But before she swung her sword, Chase Lu blocked it: “Girl, don’t be impulsive.”

With Zhao Hongying’s temper, she is naturally not afraid of killing people, but if she does, the

consequences will be serious.

The people on the opposite side were all high-ranking officials and aristocrats in Yanjing, with

extraordinary status. If there was any damage, Zhao Hongying would definitely be held accountable, or

even dismissed.

The Zhao family tree attracts a lot of wind and has many enemies. Once someone catches them, they

will make a big fuss.

The last time we were slandered as a rebel is a living example.

He didn’t want Zhao Hongying to get into this big trouble because of him.

“Brother Chen, these people are low-spirited people. They bully the weak and fear the strong. If you

don’t teach them a lesson, they don’t know how to be afraid.” Zhao Hongying stared at the group of

people opposite.

“I know, leave this matter to me to solve.”

Chapter: 2241

Lu Chen slowly pressed down Zhao Hongying’s sword, then looked at Hu Xuehai, and said coldly:

“Master Hu, I don’t want to make the matter a big deal. As long as the Shangguan family releases

people, we will leave immediately.”

If it weren’t for Concubine Cao Xuan’s safety, he wouldn’t be so calm.

“Where did you come from again? Is there any part for you to speak here?”

Hu Xuehai glanced sideways, with a bit of condescending contempt in his eyes.

Why should a nobody talk to him?

“Master Hu, I’m just asking for justice, and I hope you can make it happen.” Lu Chen was neither

humble nor overbearing.

“Justice? Hmph! You broke into the Earl’s Mansion without permission, killed people and made trouble

in public. Now you still have the nerve to tell me what’s fair?”

Hu Xuehai snorted coldly: “I warn you, take someone with you immediately or get out, otherwise you

can’t afford the consequences!”

“Master Hu, my patience is limited, don’t push me.” Lu Chen’s face became colder.

He had been tolerant enough, but the person in front of him turned out to be indifferent.

“So what if you are forced? What are you? How dare you threaten me here? Believe it or not, just a

word from me can ruin your family!” Hu Xuehai said sharply.

“Hu! Are you going to fight to the death?!” Lu Chen’s eyes began to become violent.

“Hmph! Are you worthy of me as a dead fish? Please look in the mirror and see your own virtue!” Hu

Xuehai showed disdain.

“you wanna die!”

Before Lu Chen could speak, Zhao Hongying beside him couldn’t help it.

She suddenly raised her sword and stabbed Hu Xuehai in the chest.

This sword is fast, accurate, ruthless, and merciless. It just rushes to take people’s lives.

Lu Chen is her reverse scale, anyone who dares to insult Lu Chen will die!

“Be bold!”

Zhang Guozhong yelled angrily, pulled out his knife suddenly, and slashed at him heavily.

“Clang!”

The swords collided with each other, making a harsh metallic collision sound.

Zhang Guozhong was so shocked that he retreated more than ten steps in a row, almost fell down, and

the knife in his hand broke.

On the other hand, Zhao Hongying dispelled her strength with just a slight shock, then raised her sword

again and attacked Hu Xuehai.

“ah?”

Hu Xuehai’s eyelids twitched and he backed away in fright.

He didn’t expect Zhao Hongying to be so reckless that she dared to commit murder in public.

Completely disregarding the laws of the court and the majesty of the official family.

What a lunatic!

At a critical juncture, Tuoba Yuanqing made a sudden move, deflecting Zhao Hongying’s sword.

Chapter: 2242

“Um?”

Zhao Hongying frowned and was about to continue attacking.

A loud shout suddenly sounded at the door.

“Princess Wei is here!!”

As soon as the drink sounded, the audience was shocked.

Everyone followed the sound in unison.

In the direction of the gate, a group of armed guards, surrounded by several nobles, walked in mightily.

The leader is a beautiful young woman dressed up.

The beautiful young woman looks to be in her thirties, well-maintained, and looks graceful, elegant and

generous.

Every movement of his hands and feet carried a bit of aristocratic air that had been in the upper class

for a long time.

Next to the beautiful young woman was a handsome young man.

The man put his hands in his pockets, looked left and right when he entered the door, and looked a

little foolish.

“Oh my god! It’s really Princess Wei! Why is she here too?”

“Princess Wei? Is she the one from Xiliang?”

“Nonsense! Besides that one, who else dares to call Wei Princess?”

After seeing the beautiful young woman, the whole scene was in an uproar again.

Even the group of dignitaries who brought Yanjing here showed awe.

If it were just an ordinary princess, they wouldn’t need to be afraid, but Princess Wei was different.

Its status and power are far superior to those of ordinary princesses.

On the one hand, it is because the King of Wei has great achievements and power, and is the only king

who is named after the country name.

His status is as high as the sky, and he can sit on an equal footing with the officials.

Known as the number one person in the Dragon Kingdom under the Son of Heaven!

As a wife is valued by her husband, Princess Wei’s status will naturally increase.

Of course, the main reason is that before marrying King Wei, Princess Wei was still the eldest princess

of the Dragon Kingdom, the Son of Heaven’s own sister!

This – is the root of awesomeness!

“Strange, isn’t Princess Wei living in Xiliang all year round? Why does she appear in Jiangnan?”

A group of dignitaries looked at each other in blank dismay, surprised and even more puzzled.

“My Lord Earl, don’t you have any friendship with Princess Wei?”

An official suddenly looked at Shangguan Pengcheng with some curiosity.

“friendship?”

Chapter: 2243

Shangguan Pengcheng’s expression froze, and he shook his head immediately.

How could he be so virtuous as to dare to have a friendship with Princess Wei?

He is just a small earl and has no real power yet, while the other party is the most powerful princess.

The perception of both sides is simply a huge difference.

Even if he licked his face and flattered him, he might not be able to respond.

“If Princess Wei didn’t come here because of the Earl’s Mansion, then she must have come to cheer for

Mrs. Hu’s face.” Zhang Guozhong said coldly.

“That’s right! Among us, only Mr. Hu can talk to Princess Wei.” Sun Kang repeatedly echoed.

Although the first-level minister of the Ministry of War cannot be compared with Princess Wei in terms

of status, he is an important minister in the court and has a wide network of contacts. It is normal for

the two to have some friendship.

“I?”

Hu Xuehai was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled.

He and Princess Wei had only met a few times, and they were not friends. Could it be that the other

party suddenly visited her to ask for something?

“Teacher, I didn’t expect that you would be so powerful as to invite Princess Wei. The students are so

impressed!” Shangguan Hong said with admiration on his face.

“Hahaha… With Princess Wei stepping forward to help, even the twins of the Zhao family can only

surrender!” Shangguan Pengcheng smiled with a smile on his face.

“As expected of Mr. Hu! It’s really amazing!” A group of dignitaries praised him one after another.

A few sweet words made Hu Xuehai feel a little elated.

Although it was a bit strange, looking at the entire Earl’s Mansion, he was the only one who could have

a direct dialogue with Princess Wei.

Thinking of this, Hu Xuehai immediately straightened his collar, went up to greet her with a smile on his

face, and said respectfully: “Princess Wei is here, Hu is really disappointed to welcome her!”

“Snapped!”

Without any warning, the beautiful young woman suddenly raised her hand and slapped Hu Xuehai

hard on the face, and said two words coldly: “Kneel down!”

“ah?!”

The sudden scene stunned everyone.

Everyone was stunned and their faces were full of shock.

No one expected that Princess Wei slapped Hu Xuehai when they met.

No nonsense, no foreshadowing, just so simple and crude.

The problem is that Hu Xuehai is the Minister of the Ministry of War, a first-rank official in the dynasty.

Slapping people in public really leaves no room at all.

“Wei…Princess Wei, why are you beating me?”

Hu Xuehai was stunned, covering his burning face, a little at a loss.

If it were an ordinary nobleman, he would have been furious long ago.

But it happened to be Wei Wangfei, the eldest princess of the Dragon Kingdom, even if he was

dissatisfied in every possible way, he could only be obedient.

Chapter: 2244

“I hit you because you are blind. Now, kneel down and answer.” The beautiful young woman said

coldly.

“Princess Wei, I don’t understand, how did I offend you?” Hu Xuehai asked bravely.

“Snapped!”

The beautiful young woman didn’t talk nonsense, she slapped her on the face again, and said coldly:

“Are you deaf? I’ll make you kneel down and answer!”

The corners of Hu Xuehai’s eyes twitched, and he dared not speak out in anger. His knees softened,

and finally he fell to his knees heavily with a “thud”.

The two sides are the difference between monarchs and ministers, even if Princess Wei asked him to

kneel in public, he would not dare not to kneel.

At this moment, the smiles of Shangguan Pengcheng and his party had completely frozen.

For a while, they looked at each other in blank amazement.

At first they thought that Princess Wei came to visit because of her friendship with Hu Xuehai.

Looking at it now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Could it be that Hu Xuehai offended Princess Wei before?

“Hu Xuehai, do you know that you are wrong?” the beautiful young woman said condescendingly.

“I know I was wrong.” Hu Xuehai lowered his head and admitted his mistake honestly.

Although I don’t understand, at this time, it’s all over if I admit my mistake.

“Okay, then tell me, where did you go wrong?” the beautiful young woman asked again.

“ah?”

Hu Xuehai’s expression froze and he was speechless.

He obviously didn’t do anything, so what’s wrong?

But now, it’s impossible not to admit my mistakes, so I can only say submissively: “Where the princess

thinks I am wrong, then the guilty minister is wrong.”

“Hmph! You are really clever at being cunning. Before you realized the real mistake, you were kneeling

here for me.”

As the beautiful young woman spoke, her eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Guozhong, Sun Kang and

the others, and she said coldly: “And all of you, one by one, kneel down for me!”

“ah?”

Everyone was taken aback, you looked at me, I looked at you, a little at a loss.

“What are you still doing in a daze? Kneel down!” Hu Xuehai turned around and roared.

“Kneel down, kneel down…kneel down quickly!”

Everyone woke up from a dream and did not dare to hesitate. They all knelt down on the ground.

Even the Minister of War kneels down, so what do they think?

Ever since, under Wei Wangfei’s majesty, a group of dignitaries who were majestic before, now bowed

their heads and listened to their ears, appearing extremely humble.

“Brother Hong, why did this happen? Did Master Hu offend Princess Wei?” Cao Zhiyuan knelt on the

ground and trembled.

“You ask me, who the hell should I ask?!” Shangguan Hong was a little annoyed.

Chapter: 2245

“Every wrongdoer has his own debtor. Now we can only pray that Princess Wei will not vent her anger

on the Shangguan family.” Shangguan Pengcheng swallowed.

The whole person no longer had the previous pride, but was replaced by fear and uneasiness.

The appearance of Princess Wei has added a lot of changes.

“Hmph! A bunch of daring guys, if the prince were here, all of you would be dead!” The beautiful young

woman snorted coldly.

Then under the gaze of everyone, she walked step by step in front of Lu Chen. She changed her

previous aloofness and arrogance, and a rare smile appeared on her pretty face: “Chang Ge, long time

no see. How have you been doing these years?” good?”

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your concern. I have been living a good life.” Lu Chen nodded

slightly, neither humble nor overbearing.

He couldn’t say he hated the woman in front of him, but he didn’t have much affection for her either.

“Ten years have passed and you have grown so big that I almost didn’t recognize you.”

The beautiful young woman smiled, then waved behind her: “Tianba, why are you still standing there?

Come and meet your elder brother.”

“elder brother?”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Lu Tianba stood there blankly, looking at Lu Chen up and down, with shock, joy, and disbelief in his

eyes.

After rubbing his eyes and repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Lu Tianba suddenly rushed

forward, hugged Lu Chen, and began to cry loudly.

“Wuuuuuuuu…Brother, I miss you so much!”

“I heard the old man say you were still alive before. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t expect you to be alive.

It’s great!”

“Ten years, exactly ten years! Brother, do you know how I have lived these ten years?”

“You promised to take me to the end of the world, but you sneaked away and left me alone at home.

You are so cruel!”

“Woooooooo…”

Regardless of his image, Lu Tianba hugged Lu Chen and cried bitterly.

That grievance and resentment looks like a little daughter-in-law who has been abandoned.

“Okay, okay, someone in his twenties, what does crying sound like?” Lu Chen patted his shoulder.

Lu Tianba, his half-brother, a lawless demon king.

In front of outsiders, this kid was fearless, but in front of him, he didn’t dare to be the least bit

presumptuous.

There is no other reason than that he was beaten a lot. It can be said that he has been beaten since

childhood.

But this kid is like a piece of candy. The more he beats him, the more clingy he gets, and he can’t get

rid of him.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu isn’t I happy? We are reunited after a long separation, why don’t we let

others cry?” Lu Tianba burst into tears.

The people around him were dumbfounded and shocked.

Isn’t this the son of Princess Wei’s family?

Why do you look like a fool?

“I have to cry for a while, I still have something to deal with.” Lu Chen pushed away the snotty Lu

Tianba in disgust.

“Oh… I almost forgot the business.”

Chapter: 2246

Lu Tianba wiped his tears and nose, then suddenly looked at Hu Xuehai, and said with an unkind

expression: “Brother, is this old guy bullying you? Let’s see how I deal with him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately accelerated and rushed forward.

“Little Prince…”

Hu Xuehai opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, Lu Tianba jumped up and

kicked him in the face.

“Boom!”

Hu Xuehai was kicked and flew out directly, and he fell on his back, ouch.

An old face with nosebleeds and two front teeth missing, looking very distressed.

“Old man! Do you know who you offended?”

Lu Tianba lifted up his sleeves, stepped on Hu Xuehai’s chest, and yelled aggressively: “Lift up your

dog’s head and listen carefully—the man you offended is my elder brother, Lu Tianba! He is famous all

over the world.” Qilinzi! He is the future king of Xiliang!”

“I want to ask, how many brains do you have, how dare you challenge the Lu family? How dare you

provoke the entire Xiliang Palace? Huh?”

Lu Tianba put his hands on his waist, put one foot on Hu Xuehai’s chest, trampled him on the ground,

and cursed him all over.

Every word that came out of his mouth was like thunder, hitting everyone’s hearts hard.

For a moment, the whole place was dead silent and silent.

Everyone was shocked, and they were all dumbfounded, with faces filled with shock.

They never dreamed that Lu Chen would have such an identity.

Lu Tianba’s eldest brother, the most powerful Qilinzi in the world, and the future King of Xiliang.

Just three short sentences have unparalleled weight, like three mountains, suppressing the audience!

“I…I know who he is. He is the evildoer who stirred up the turmoil in Yanjing ten years ago – Lu

Changge!”

“What? Lu Changge? Isn’t he already dead? Why is he still alive?”

“Lu Changge…it’s actually Lu Changge! Oh my god! How did we get into trouble with such a evil star?”

After a brief silence, the whole scene seemed to be dropped with a heavy bomb, causing a sensation in

an instant.

All eyes were on Lu Chen.

There were shocks, surprises, fears, and doubts on the faces, but most of them were disbelief.

Who is Lu Changge?

The Qilin son of the Lu family, a truly unparalleled genius, had already become world-famous and

dominating ten years ago.

In the entire Dragon Kingdom, I don’t know how many talented people are trampled under their feet,

unable to move.

Even the twin stars of the Zhao family were beyond their reach!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Changge ten years ago was simply unparalleled and no one could

match him!

“He, he, he…he is the unicorn son Lu Changge?!”

Hu Xuehai looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was pale.

Chapter: 2247

As a veteran court official, although he didn’t know the inside story of the incident ten years ago, he

witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

The accident lasted for three days and three nights.

The entire Forbidden City was devastated.

Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed into rivers, and mourners filled the land!

And Lu Changge was the cause of this shocking murder, and the evil star who almost overturned the

entire court!

He really didn’t expect that he would offend such a god and Buddha.

This is trouble!

“How… how is it possible? How could he be Qilinzi? He is just a pretty boy, there is no way he has

such a background!”

Cao Zhiyuan shook her head again and again, completely in disbelief.

From the moment she met Lu Chen, he was Concubine Cao Xuan’s follower. Although he was capable

of literature and martial arts, he had no identity or background.

Totally a phoenix man.

However, now, Chase Lu suddenly changed his body and ascended to the sky in one step, from an

unknown little man to a prince of the royal family, a powerful existence.

The huge contrast between before and after was really hard for her to accept.

“Why? Why is this happening?”

At this moment, even the arrogant Shangguan Hong was shocked beyond measure.

He had always regarded Lu Chen as an ant that could be trampled to death if he raised his foot, and he

never took it seriously.

But now, he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

It turned out that the little person he thought was an existence standing on top of the world, a monster

that made all the geniuses in the world feel ashamed!

His self-righteous pride became so ridiculous in front of Lu Chen, so unworthy of mentioning.

“A misfortune from heaven! A misfortune from heaven!”

Shangguan Pengcheng panicked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The Qilinzi of the Lu family, the future King of Xiliang, and the Shangguan family have hit a brick wall

this time!

“It’s over, it’s over…it’s all over now!”

Cao Jun slumped on the ground with a “boom”, his whole face was ashen.

Behind him, a group of senior members of the Cao family were also full of despair and remorse.

No one expected that Chase Lu’s identity would be so terrifying, even to the point where it turned pale.

The Shangguan family is indeed very powerful, with huge influence and wide connections. They can

even invite the Minister of War and a group of dignitaries from Yanjing to come forward to support

them.

Looking at the entire Jiangnan, they are second to none.

However, no matter how powerful and rich the Shangguan family is, in front of such a colossus as the

Xiliang Palace, they are all chickens and dogs, and they will be broken at the first touch, and there is no

room for them to contend.

The gap between the two sides is like a frog in a Yunlong well. They are not on the same level at all.

Chapter: 2248

As the eldest son of the royal family, Lu Chen could completely destroy the entire Shangguan family if

he wanted to!

Even with them, they have to suffer!

“Old man! Do you know how powerful you are now? How dare you challenge my brother? I think you

just think you’re dead!” Lu Tianba yelled condescendingly.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding…it’s all a misunderstanding!”

Hu Xuehai panicked and was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kept

apologizing: “I am blind and have misunderstood His Highness. Please forgive me this time!”

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to the ground several times.

The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, at this moment, lost the slightest majesty, and became

submissive and terrified.

If he were an ordinary prince, he would not be so humble, kowtow and beg for mercy without any

regard for face.

But Lu Changge was different. As the eldest son of Xiliang Prince’s Palace, he was not only gifted and

talented, but also had a father who was as powerful as heaven and earth.

The most frightening thing is that under his hands, he still has 500,000 soldiers from Xiliang!

As the most elite army recognized by the Dragon Kingdom, these 500,000 Xiliang soldiers are enough

to overthrow the entire dynasty!

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if Lu Changge killed him, the majestic King Wei of Xiliang

could easily survive.

Therefore, he had to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

This is the majesty of the King of Xiliang!

“…”

Seeing Hu Xuehai kneeling and kowtowing, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

Even the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War was frightened into soft-legged shrimps, so what are

they?

“Brother! What should we do with these guys? If you feel unhappy, just say something and I will make

them disappear immediately!” Lu Tianba said without hesitation.

“No, no, no, no… Your Highness! It’s none of my business. I don’t know anything. I came here just to

attend the engagement banquet. I have never offended you!” Hu Xuehai was so panicked.

“Shut up!”

Lu Tianba kicked him to the ground and cursed: “You old guy! You usually act domineering and oppress

the people, you deserve to die!”

“Changge, if you are wronged, my little mother can make the decision for you.” Princess Wei said

suddenly.

These words have already stated their position and agreed with Lu Tianba’s approach.

“There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Although Mr. Hu is a little confused, his crime will not lead

to death.” Lu Chen finally spoke.

In any case, Hu Xuehai is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is a first-rank official in the

dynasty. If something happens, he will be in big trouble.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!” Hu

Xuehai burst into tears, and kowtowed to the ground a few more times.

“Master Hu, the Shangguan family has kidnapped my girlfriend. How are you going to solve this

matter?” Lu Chen suddenly asked.

“Understood, understood… Weichen will do it right away!”

Hu Xuehai reacted very quickly, stood up quickly and ran to Shangguan Pengcheng, raised his hand

and slapped him, cursing: “Hey! Brave madman! How dare you kidnap the concubine? I think you are

tired of life! Don’t let it go quickly. people!”

“Snapped!”

Chapter: 2249

Shangguan Pengcheng staggered from the beating and almost fell down. The five fingerprints on his

face were clearly visible.

However, at this moment, he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. He immediately turned his head and

shouted at Cao Jun and his party: “It’s all your fault! Why are you still standing there? Let him go

quickly!”

With these words, he naturally picked himself up.

“ah?”

Cao Jun and his party looked at each other, a little at a loss.

Although they knew Concubine Cao Xuan was kidnapped, they didn’t know where the other party was

being held.

Forced to be helpless, they could only cast their eyes on Cao Zhiyuan for help.

“In…in the Chamber of Secrets…they were locked in the Chamber of Secrets.”

Cao Zhiyuan shrank her neck, lowered her head, and finally spoke out falteringly.

“Quick! Go to the secret room to save people!”

Hu Xuehai yelled, and hurriedly led a group of dignitaries to the secret room of Shangguan’s house.

Now is a good opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so they naturally have to

perform well.

“You’d better pray that Concubine Cao Xuan is okay, otherwise, I will make you pay a heavy price.” Lu

Chen said lightly.

His indifferent eyes, like a knife, swept across the faces of the Shangguan family and the Cao family

one by one.

A group of people were frightened and frightened, and their souls were out of their wits.

After a while, Concubine Cao Xuan and Cao Anan were finally rescued.

Fortunately, the two were not injured, but remained unconscious.

Lu Chen walked up to Concubine Cao Xuan, checked the situation carefully, and finally breathed a sigh

of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

Before that, he had been keeping tabs on rats and holding back, just for the safety of Concubine Cao

Xuan.

Now that Concubine Cao Xuan is fine, it’s time for him to settle the ledger.

“Tell me, how do you solve today’s matter?” Lu Chen said coldly.

“Didn’t Concubine Cao Xuan be released? What else do we need?” Shangguan Hong frowned and

asked.

So far, he still can’t accept that a former unknown person will suddenly sit on his head and poop and

urinate.

“Tied is tied, let go is let go, do you think that if you tie someone up, you will be safe as long as you let

go? According to your logic, if I stab you once and pull out the knife, it will count as not stabbing you?”

Lu Chen asked rhetorically.

“Then what do you want?” Shangguan Hong’s face looked a little ugly.

“It’s very simple. Hand over the mastermind. Whoever planned the kidnapping will have to pay the

price.” Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

“His Royal Highness! It’s none of our business. It’s all done by the Cao family. They kidnapped people!”

Shangguan Pengcheng quickly began to explain.

“That’s right! It’s all a fight within the Cao family. They planned everything!” The clan members of the

Shangguan family all agreed.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. If you want to protect yourself at this time, you must put all the

blame on the Cao family and then clean yourself up.

Otherwise, once Lu Changge becomes angry, the entire Earl’s Mansion will be in turmoil.

Chapter: 2250

“Did you do it?”

Lu Che
