Chapter 218: Courtesy first, then attack

When Wang Haochen asked Chu Tang if something was wrong, he looked very gentle, but there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

He entertained so many people, and when he was having a good conversation, Chu Tang suddenly stood up and approached him, disturbing his interest. Naturally, he lost his temper.

No matter how famous Chu Tang was, his status among the invited people was just that. Wang Haochen didn't think highly of him.

Not only was Wang Haochen dissatisfied, but many people present also looked displeased.

But no one knew his intentions, so they had to wait and watch in silence for a while before talking.

Now that Chu Tang has stood up, there is no room for retreat.

He looked past the guards and landed on Wang Haochen, who was sitting comfortably on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu came here today to ask your Majesty something."

"Excuse me?" Wang Haochen's surprised eyes showed a trace of interest, "You and I have never met each other before, why does it sound like we are related to each other?"

"Haha! Your Majesty, you think too highly of him! He is just a policeman, how can he have any qualifications to have anything to do with the Crown Prince!"

"Boss Chu, do you understand the rules? How could you offend the prince in public?"

"What kind of place is this? Is it possible for a police officer like you to run wild? Get out of here quickly!"

Before Chu Tang said anything, and Wang Haochen didn't express anything either, several young people who were invited stood up one after another and scolded Chu Tang for not understanding the rules.

Judging from their posture, they regarded Wang Haochen as some kind of treasure, and it was like a big sin for others to come even slightly closer.

Facing the accusations from several people, Chu Tang turned a deaf ear and stared directly at Wang Haochen.

Now everyone can see that he is a kind person who did not come, but a person who comes is not kind, and he is here for the Nanqinghou Crown Prince!

Two more guards standing behind Wang Haochen moved slightly to protect Wang Haochen behind them.

They did not dare to underestimate Chu Tang who was armed with weapons.

The most famous warrior in Qingcheng these days is probably the young policeman in front of him.

After all, he was the one who cut off the arm of a strong man in the Sixth Realm with one sword. No matter how humble his status was, his martial arts prowess was there, and no one dared to look down upon him.

"What is this guy going to do? Why does it look like Prince Nanqing has offended him?"

"Young people are so brave. They dare to do this in front of Wang Haochen!"

"Does this guy want his life? This is in Nanqinghou's mansion! With the prince's order, the proud soldiers Nanqinghou left in the mansion can rush forward!"

"Haha, there is a good show to watch! Interesting! Interesting!"

"..."

Many people are extremely active mentally and have all kinds of ideas.

"Brother, it's a good thing that I pulled you just now and didn't show too much intimacy with Chu Tang, otherwise we would have offended Nanqinghou Crown Prince to death!" Among the people, Su Cheng happily whispered to Su Kang beside him for credit.

Su Kang was speechless.

He was also panicking at this time and couldn't think of what kind of plaster Chu Tang was selling.

In full view of everyone, he shouted to the prince of the Hou family in public, "Isn't this the way to die!"

After listening to everyone's noise for a while, Wang Haochen waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion. He looked at the expressionless Chu Tang curiously and said with a smile: "Boss Chu, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. This prince has always had the beauty of an adult. , we will definitely not let our distinguished guests come back disappointed.”

Chu Tang nodded seriously and said: "Since the prince is straightforward, then Mr. Chu will not dawdle. May I ask, prince, are everyone in the Shiben Opera Troupe okay in the Hou Mansion?"

He is really direct!

"Master's theater troupe?" Wang Haochen narrowed his eyes slightly and said somewhat reproachfully, "Boss Chu, I admire you as a master, so I invited you and a group of distinguished people to come here to enjoy the lotus, but you ask me something about being an actor? The beautiful scenery has been obliterated by you!"

Theater troupe?

actor?

Everyone was confused, but everyone present was smart, and they heard that what the two people were talking about was a little unusual.

Everyone fell silent, and even the few people who had scolded Chu Tang for the prince shrank back and stopped saying anything.

Wang Haocheng's personality and reputation are well known in Qingcheng. No one can guarantee what he will do.

As for Chu Tang... they don't understand!

Now it seems that it is not a good thing!

Chu Tang glanced at everyone lightly, looked directly at Wang Haochen's displeased eyes, and said slowly: "Talk about actors, is it a disgrace to the scenery? Are actors not human beings? What a coincidence, there are people from Guijun in the Shiben Opera Troupe. , happened to be acquainted with Mr. Chu. Out of morality, Mr. Chu had to come and ask the prince if they were safe."

At the end, Chu Tang's voice became much louder and more severe.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone even vaguely heard Wang Haochen's heavy breathing.

With a bang, Wang Haochen put down the tea cup in his hand, pushed away the plate of fruits in front of him, stood up slowly, and took two steps out of the pavilion.

"Your Majesty..." A guard stretched out his hand to block Wang Haochen from stepping forward and taking danger.

Wang Haochen pushed his hand away, took a step forward, and faced Chu Tang a few feet away. With his chest puffed out, he said proudly: "This is Nanqinghou Mansion, and I don't believe anyone dares to act wild here! Captain Chu, I don’t know what kind of identity you are asking this prince today? A policeman? Or a gangster? "

Chu Tang glanced at him and asked, "What about the police? What about the gangsters?"

Wang Haochen laughed and said: "If you are caught, you are just a low-grade government servant in Gui County. You can enter my prince's house, and your grade is not as good as that of a guard in my family. I am the son of a noble prince, how can you question me?" ? If you are a wealthy person from the world of martial arts... Haha, then I will have no choice but to issue an order to drive out this rude person like you!"

Chu Tang also laughed and said: "From what the prince said, it was all about noble family background. It's really ridiculous! Chu was curious, what was the background of Marquis Nanqing twenty years ago? Was he born a nobleman! "

The life experience of Wang Yang, the Marquis of Nanqing, has always been a mystery in the eyes of the world, and few people know his origins.

But what is certain is that he is not a child of a high-ranking family. Twenty years ago, he had just ended his days of wandering in the world and had only joined the imperial court and the army not long ago.

Wang Yang's achievements today were achieved by his swords and shots in the army, not by inheritance, nor by paying attention to family background.

When Chu Tang said this, he meant to mock Wang Haochen for forgetting his roots.

Sure enough, anger flashed across Wang Haochen's face after hearing this, and his eyes when he looked at Chu Tang became much colder. He smiled angrily and said, "Why, did Leader Chu come up today to teach me a lesson?"

Chu Tang shook his head and said: "Chu has no intention of embarrassing the Crown Prince, he just wants to ask everyone in the theater troupe."

Wang Haochen was happy: "Why, are you a good friend in the theater troupe?"

Chu Tang glanced at him and said, "Not everyone has eyes for women like the prince."

puff!

I don't know who it was, but laughed out loud after hearing Chu Tang's words.

Chu Tang was so angry, wasn't he just mocking Wang Haochen for his lustful nature?

To be honest, Chu Tang is very brave!

In Qingcheng, everyone knows Wang Haochen's absurdity, but it's rare to see someone who dares to be sarcastic in front of him.

Even if someone had ever said that to him, the grass on that person's grave must have been several feet tall.

Everyone has never seen someone as tough as Chu Tang.

Wang Haochen naturally heard the irony in it. An angry look flashed in his eyes. He slowly walked back to the pavilion and sat down. He calmly said, "Chu Tang, if I tell you what theater troupe you are talking about, I will I’ve never heard of it, what do you want to do?”

Is this a denial?

Chu Tang looked at Wang Haochen seriously and sighed: "If the prince insists on saying this, what else can Chu do? It's just that from now on the prince should be more careful when sleeping at night, because there may be people who are good at Qinggong. I want to enter the Marquis Mansion to spy on me. By then, something like a misjudgment will happen... The consequences will be serious!"

"Are you threatening me?" Wang Haochen's voice was as cold as ice.

What does it mean to be a person who is good at Qinggong?

Now the whole Qingcheng knows that Chu Tang has unparalleled Qinggong, and he can be said to be the only one in Liangzhou, without any opponent!

Isn’t he talking about himself?

Chu Tang also said leisurely: "Your Majesty, your words are serious! Chu is just making assumptions, how dare you threaten the noble Lord Marquis?"

"Very good! Very good!" Wang Haochen smiled coldly and looked at Chu Tang deeply.

Chu Tang stared at him and looked at him.

The two confronted each other for a while.

In fact, Chu Tang was sighing secretly in his heart. If possible, he really didn't want to offend a prince of the Hou family so directly.

Today he came here and was polite to the other party, intending to do so with due etiquette.

But Wang Haochen didn't give him face, so he could only think of other ways.

For example, the man in black visited the Hou Mansion at night - it's not that I haven't thought of it before, but there are too many people in the troupe. No matter how good his Qinggong is, he can't get everyone out of the huge Hou Mansion without alerting anyone.

I had to give up this idea and test it out in the open.

In fact, it is nothing more than courtesy first and then fighting.

"Chu Tang, you are such a ignorant person!" Wang Haochen picked up the tea cup again and took a sip, pointing to the lake next to him and said, "The flowers are blooming all over the lake, colorful and beautiful. It's such a beautiful time, but you ruined our fun. It's really What a disgrace to the scenery! It seems that this prince is just being sentimental, and I really shouldn’t have invited you to come to my house. Since you are not interested in what you said, there is no need to force it, please come back!"

This is an eviction order.

Chu Tang took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu is still saying the same thing. There are people from Gui County in the troupe, and Mr. Chu hopes that they can be safe and sound. Mr. Chu is actually very easy to talk to, as long as he doesn't violate my bottom line. , If you can make peace, you will never take action."

Wang Haochen glanced at him and said coldly: "Chu Tang, you are the first person who dares to threaten my son in person! However, in this three-acre land in Qingcheng, I really don't believe that anyone dares to offend me! You...just take care of yourself! See off your guests!"

A guard stepped forward, stretched out his hand toward Chu Tang, and motioned for him to leave.

Chu Tang nodded and suddenly smiled and said: "Do it for yourself! It is indeed good advice. Chu will also give these words to the prince. Let's encourage each other."

Wang Haocheng sneered and said nothing.

Chu Tang looked around with bright eyes.

No one at the scene dared to look at him. Some turned their heads to the side and looked left and right; some lowered their heads slightly and looked at the ground.

After chuckling lightly, Chu Tang shook his head again, not knowing what he was feeling.

There seemed to be disdain for something in that laugh.

The Marquis Nanqing Mansion is indeed very powerful, and some people clearly disapprove of Wang Haochen, but they have no choice but to sell his face and send their outstanding children to his door to make friends with him.

It seems that he does not want to offend the Nanqing Hou Mansion, but in fact he does not mean to condone it.

That’s it!

Chu Tang sighed softly, watching him build the Zhulou, watching him entertain guests, and watching his building collapse!

After taking a deep look around, Chu Tang cupped his hands, turned around and left.

After walking out of the corridor, just a few feet away from the tree-lined path by the lake, suddenly, a burst of shouts came from the west courtyard of the Hou Mansion:

"Quick! Don't let him get away!"

"He's over there! Chase him!"

"He can't run! Kill him!"

Everyone followed the sound and found several figures running towards this side from far to near, at extremely fast speeds, making a fuss.

At the front was a man who kept moving and dodging. He looked left and right, scurrying around like a cat, running fast.

Behind him, three or four figures were chasing him, carrying swords and shouting to fight and kill.

And looking at their attire, they looked like they were from the Hou Mansion.

Chu Tang stopped and looked at the figure running in front of him. He felt that the movement of the other person was somewhat familiar, but he could not recall the specific impression for the moment.

On the other side, Wang Haochen and others looked at the commotion in the distance with stunned expressions.

With a bang, Wang Haochen stood up, his face was livid and his expression was ugly.

He recognized that the people chasing him in the distance were low-level guards of his palace.

Now, these people were shouting and panicking in front of his eyes, which really made him feel embarrassed.

Today was the time when he was hosting a banquet for a respectable young man from Qingcheng. He had just been slapped in the face by Chu Tang, and now he was doing this again. Why, weren't there enough people who thought he had embarrassed Nanqinghou Mansion?

"What's going on?" Wang Haochen asked a guard beside him.

The guard watched for a while, and his expression turned ugly. He whispered: "Your Majesty, it seems that... a member of the theater troupe has escaped."

Wang Haochen trembled all over, his face turned red and white.

He caught a glimpse of Chu Tang stopping more than twenty feet away, and the man running like crazy was heading towards Chu Tang.

"It's going to be worse..." Wang Haochen had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had just said in front of Chu Tang that there were no opera troupes in the Hou Mansion, and he didn't know anything. In the blink of an eye, people from the troupe were running away from his house.

Is there anything more embarrassing than this?

"I hope they don't know each other!" Wang Haochen could only pray.

However, what disappointed him was that Chu Tang recognized that person!

"Chang Xiaoming!" When the fleeing man came closer and saw him clearly, Chu Tang's whole body shook and his eyes showed disbelief.

Although the person in front was very embarrassed, his hair was disheveled, his green clothes were in tatters, and his body was stained with a lot of blood, and even his face was stained with blood.

However, Chu Tang still recognized him from his silhouette and movement!

It was Chang Xiaoming who disguised himself as a cat demon and went to Wang Yuan's wife's house to seek revenge!

That poor man who was teased by fate and made everyone go crazy, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, making people sigh——

Chang Xiaoming!

He is also Zhao Ziyu’s fellow disciple!

So, Chang Xiaoming has appeared, are the people from the Shiben Theater Company still far behind?

"Kill him! Quick! Don't let him disturb the Crown Prince!"

"Come on! He's going to hit the crown prince!"

Chang Xiaoming ran for his life, and the guards behind him gradually approached, shouting for murder and silence.

"Ah..." Chang Xiaoming jumped crazily and roared like a wounded beast.

He looked very abnormal, as if he was completely unconscious and just running for his life instinctively.

That is to say, his movement skills were weird, like a civet cat, and he narrowly avoided the swords that were chasing after him several times.

boom!

In a panic, Chang Xiaoming's dodging figure quickly landed not far from Chu Tang.

"Chang Xiaoming!" Chu Tang couldn't help shouting.

"Huh?" Chang Xiaoming paused, raised his head, and revealed two red eyes from his messy hair.

"It's me! Your junior sister Zhao Ziyu's friend." Chu Tang sighed and called Chang Xiaoming by the name of an acquaintance.

"Where are you thief?" Upon seeing this, a pursuing guard immediately raised his long knife and struck Chang Xiaoming from behind.

"Seeking death!" Chu Tang sneered, raised a horizontal palm, and slapped the guard who drew the sword fiercely.

Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!

Kanglong has regrets!

hold head high!

The fierce fist made a sharp sound and hit the guard hard, sending him flying away with a palm.

Snap!

The guard hit the ground hard, making a loud noise.

At that moment, everyone's hearts were trembling, and they looked blankly at Chu Tang who attacked the guards of the Hou Mansion!
