Chapter 219 Confrontation
boom!
The sound of the guard hitting the ground was shocking.
However, Chu Tang didn't kill him either. He lowered his strength under the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and only beat him until he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and lost his ability to move.
Even so, his behavior still shocked everyone.
Chang Xiaoming also temporarily stopped his madness, stopped, looked at Chu Tang blankly, and murmured: "Ziyu...Junior sister Ziyu..."
As for the others, their eyes towards Chu Tang were filled with strange expressions. Some were surprised, some were confused, and some were teasing, as if they were laughing.
This is Nanqinghou Mansion!
In front of the Nanqing Hou Crown Prince, Chu Tang actually injured the guards of the Hou Mansion.
Just ask him how he dared to take action? !
This man can no longer be described as brave, he is simply unscrupulous and has no scruples.
"It's over! It's over!" When Su Kang saw this, there was only one voice in his heart, "Chu Tang is going to die!"
Anyone who has been in contact with Wang Haochen, the prince of Nanqinghou, knows that this person is very face-saving and cruel. He will kill anyone who dares to lose his face!
Su Kang once saw with his own eyes that someone just took advantage of Wang Haochen's words, and he yelled at the guards who came to the Hou Mansion. They slapped the man's mouth on the spot and swollen it, making him unable to speak for half a month. Speaking of which, it was later discovered that his head had been beaten to the point of being crippled.
And that person is not an unknown person in Qingcheng, but has an extraordinary family background.
But Wang Haochen still ordered his subordinates to do the dirty work without giving the family any face.
Later, I heard that the family was unwilling to give up and wanted an explanation from Nanqinghou Mansion.
And how did Marquis Nanqing protect his shortcomings?
He directly sent troops to surround the family and did not take any other action except not allowing the people inside to come out. The reason was that he suspected that a barbarian spy had sneaked into the mansion.
This area lasts for more than half a month, and it is useless no matter who comes to intercede.
In the end, the family had to give in. Not only did they not dare to pester Wang Haochen about beating someone, they also had to go to Nanqinghou Mansion with gifts to apologize.
It's okay for the one who hits, but the one who gets hit has to apologize. This is how Nanqing Hou Wang Yang doted on his son!
This kind of behavior also created Wang Haochen's lawless character, and made him show his violent side at the slightest displeasure.
With the temperament of this kind of person, Su Kang felt that the other party would definitely not give up with Chu Tang.
After all, if you hurt someone in someone else's mansion, no matter how you look at it, it just means a slap in the face.
Wang Haochen is the most shameless person, how can he allow Chu Tang to walk out of the Hou Mansion easily?
As Su Kang expected, the moment Chu Tang took action, Wang Haochen's face completely changed. It was ashen, and it could almost be said that his entire face turned black.
He pushed away the guard standing in front, twisted one leg and walked quickly towards Chu Tang.
At this moment, the other three guards chasing behind Chang Xiaoming also rushed over. One of them went to help the guard who fell to the ground, and the other two held long knives and surrounded Chu Tang.
As for Chang Xiaoming, it seemed that his crazy side had burst out again. He stood there like an idiot without any reaction.
Chu Tang was afraid that something would happen to him, so he took two steps forward and blocked him behind him.
"Chu Tang!" At this time, Wang Haochen's roaring voice came.
The voice just fell, and he jumped to a place less than one foot away from Chu Tang.
The guards behind him blocked Wang Haochen's rushing action.
They couldn't guarantee whether Chu Tang would get violent and hurt someone.
After all, the other guard dared to injure him, so it was not incomprehensible for him to give Wang Haochen a slap if he got angry.
Wang Haochen struggled for a while before gradually calming down and realizing that he was impulsive - in terms of force, he really couldn't beat Chu Tang.
However, Wang Haochen was still furious, pointing at Chu Tang and scolding: "You surnamed Chu, you are so shameless, aren't you! In front of this prince, how dare you hurt my people? Believe it or not, this prince will let you go." Get out of this palace!"
Chu Tang glanced at him coldly, pointed at Chang Xiaoming and said: "Didn't the prince say that there is no one from the Hou Mansion who is from the opera troupe? What happened to him? This person is recognized by Chu. He is a citizen of Guijun, and he is also a citizen of Guijun." A disciple of this theater troupe."
Wang Haochen glanced at Chang Xiaoming, who was covered in blood, frowned, and looked at the three pursuing guards with an unhappy expression.
The three guards lowered their heads in fear.
"What's going on?" Wang Haochen asked coldly.
One of the guards said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, while the Crown Prince was entertaining guests and the palace's defense forces were being mobilized, a woman broke into the west room of the Hou Mansion and wanted to save people..."
"Shut up!" Before this man could finish speaking, a middle-aged guard who had been following Wang Haochen shouted sharply, stopping him from speaking.
The guard suddenly raised his head when he was speaking, with a puzzled look on his face.
The yelling guard stared at him and said decisively: "There is obviously a thief who broke into the house and wanted to commit murder. You are just doing your job to catch the thief! There is nothing else to do!"
This is so true!
The guard just realized it and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Commander Pei is right! We were trying to catch the thief who broke into the Hou Mansion and wanted to commit murder. Unexpectedly, someone rescued the thief on the way. He injured one of our guards. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us!"
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Tang a few times, and it was obvious who he was referring to.
Chu Tang laughed angrily. There were experts in the Hou Mansion, and they were quite capable of rake someone down.
He turned his attention to the man called Commander Pei and saw that he was following Wang Haochen, and he was obviously the leader of this group of guards.
This man was about forty years old, very strong, and wearing a guard uniform, he looked very imposing.
He has a square face, big eyes, and a tall and tall figure. If it weren't for the scar on the left side of his face from the corner of his eye to his chin, he would be pretty charming.
But this scar made him look much more ferocious, and the uncontrollable ferocious aura permeated the air, giving people a feeling of oppression.
"This is a master!" After just a few glances, Chu Tang had this thought in his heart.
Wang Haochen didn't complain about anything in Qingcheng, but he was also an enemy. Wang Yang could rest assured that this person would be the head of Wang Haochen's bodyguards. No one would believe him if he said he didn't have many brushes.
If he was really a fool, Wang Haochen would have died countless times in these years.
He is definitely a master!
As for how high the martial arts is, it is impossible to determine, but Chu Tang has also increased his vigilance by twelve points.
While Chu Tang was sizing up the other party, Commander Pei was also watching Chu Tang closely.
He was the one who held Wang Haochen just now, preventing the latter from getting close to Chu Tang, just because he could sense the slightest hint of danger from Chu Tang's calm eyes.
Facing Chu Tang, he did not dare to be careless. After all, even the masters of the Sixth Realm who realized the power in Luo Shen Valley were defeated by Chu Tang's sword.
If the other party wants to hurt Wang Haochen and the distance is too close, he cannot guarantee that he can rescue him in time.
"Chu Tang!" Wang Haochen's tone became much louder at this time, "You have also heard that he is a traitor who wants to assassinate my prince! How can there be any citizens of Gui County! As the son of a marquis, my prince is an honorary figure of the imperial court. Gui, the people who came to assassinate me are no different from rebels!"
Chu Tang smiled happily and said with cold eyes: "Chu has only heard of referring to rats as ducks, and this is the first time I have heard of referring to good people as thieves. As expected of Nan Qinghou's son and subordinate, with this skill of confusing right and wrong, People in the upper three realms will be ashamed when they see it!"
Everyone was confused. What the hell was wrong with calling a rat a duck? Could it be that there was something wrong with their historical common sense?
They have only heard of people in history referring to deer as horses!
In response to Chu Tang's bitter sarcasm, Wang Haochen's eyes flickered and his expression was extremely unnatural.
However, Commander Pei seemed much calmer. His face did not change. Instead, he smiled and said to Chu Tang: "Team Leader Chu, now that our palace wants to capture the assassin, please make it easier for you."
Chu Tang's eyes became colder and colder, and he stared at the other party and said, "Do you want to go all the way to the dark side? Are you really using this argument to fool Chu?"
"Then Captain Chu wants to rank himself with the assassins?" Commander Pei chuckled, "I'm afraid that Captain Chu can't bear this crime, right?"
Chu Tang took a step closer to Chang Xiaoming, turned around and said, "What if Chu has to take him away today?"
Commander Pei looked around, then suddenly put his finger into his mouth and blew a long whistle.
The sound carried far away.
After a while, a series of bang-bang footsteps came quickly, and many figures jumped out from all directions in the yard.
They were all dressed as guards, and there were thirty or forty of them. Some held knives, some carried weapons, some held swords, and some held crossbows.
These people gathered in twos and threes, some stood on both sides of Wang Haochen and protected him; others formed a fan-shaped formation to surround Chu Tang and Chang Xiaoming, blocking their retreat.
Dozens of guards were in good order and completely maintained the style of the military.
And their momentum also has a death aura from fighting on the battlefield that permeates the surroundings, which is breathtaking.
From a distance, the faces of the young handsome men who came to visit today changed and they looked at each other in confusion.
They finally saw the majesty and majesty of Nanqinghou's guards. They were truly worthy of being battlefield veterans who had followed Nanqinghou through life and death.
Before taking action, just the formation and momentum are extremely bluffing!
Chu Tang's face also darkened, and he looked back and forth at the guard in front of him.
This is the first time he has faced so many soldiers, and he has to admit that these people are much more powerful than some martial arts gang members or some Yamen officials.
If the latter are a ragtag group, they are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, and their momentum is a bit stronger than ordinary people.
Chu Tang vaguely discovered that after these people formed an array, the aura they exuded had the power to suppress their spirits.
A few dozen people were already so terrifying, but what a demeanor the tens of thousands of soldiers displayed in formation!
No wonder the Yao court was able to suppress martial arts and despise the top masters. Just because of the existence of these well-trained troops, they could be proud of the world.
With dozens of guards at his side, Wang Haochen felt confident and took another step forward. He held his head high and raised his chest, squinting at Chu Tang and said, "Chu Tang, I still say what I said, no one from the troupe has ever been to the Hou Mansion! Today I am the Nanqing Hou Mansion to capture the assassin, and I hope you will not make any mistakes! As long as you don't meddle in other people's business and leave obediently, I promise to forget the past and never embarrass you!"
Chu Tang looked at the proud Wang Haochen, then at the confused Chang Xiaoming, then shook his head and said: "The Crown Prince wants to capture the assassin, so Chu will naturally have no objection. However, Chu also hopes that the Crown Prince will capture the assassin." Don’t interfere, everyone.”
"Huh? Imperial prisoner? What imperial prisoner?" Wang Haochen, Commander Pei and others all looked surprised.
Chu Tang pointed at Chang Xiaoming and said: "This person committed a life-threatening lawsuit in Shi County, Gui County. He has always been a key criminal wanted by Shi County and Gui County Yamen. Chu, as the head of Gui County, met the key criminal today, how could he If you stand by and watch, we will definitely catch him!"
Wang Haochen was so angry that his nose twisted, and he shouted: "Chu Tang, are you entertaining my son?"
"How dare you!" Chu Tang shook his head and said seriously, "We have also sent the wanted document issued by Gui County to the Qingcheng Governor's Office for registration. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can send someone to confirm it. Oh yes. Well, this person’s name is Chang Xiaoming, and he hurt the family of Wang Yuanwai, a wealthy man in the county, in Shi County last year.”
Wang Haochen was speechless and looked at Commander Pei.
He did not doubt the authenticity of what Chu Tang said. After all, it would be obvious if someone checked it. There was really no need for the other party to lie.
Commander Pei and Wang Haochen looked at each other, understood, and immediately said: "This person dares to break into the Marquis Mansion to assassinate, and he is also a key criminal in Gui County. He has committed a heinous crime that cannot be punished! If Captain Chu is willing, you and I can join forces and Wouldn't it be great to kill this beast with your own hands and eliminate harm for the people?"
Chu Tang shook his head: "It's just a little brat with a second-level cultivation. There is no need to trouble the masters of the Hou Mansion. Chu is more than enough to take care of him."
Commander Pei also shook his head and said: "No trouble! No trouble! We are all working for the imperial court. We should be of the same spirit and hate the same enemy, so we should help each other even more."
Chu Tang's head hurt. This old guy was really difficult to deal with. He was even thicker-skinned than him. It was so unreasonable!
"Commander Pei, since you and I are members of the imperial court, we should know that we cannot punish without instruction, let alone execute in private. If this person commits a crime, whether he is alive or dead, how to convict him should be left to the Yamen to decide. I, Yao, have stipulated , the princes only have the power to live in the local area, and they must not interfere with the local government's handling of local affairs. Therefore, it is better for Chu to take this person back to Gui County, and let the prefect decide, so as not to cause trouble for the Nanqing Hou Mansion. "
At this time, even Commander Pei was speechless.
Chu Tang was such a thief that he used the imperial court to suppress the Marquis's government, leaving him unable to refute.
After all, every word of the other party's words was justified and there were no flaws. He couldn't find any loopholes.
However, how could they allow Chang Xiaoming to leave the Hou Mansion?
"Pei San, why are you talking nonsense with him? Kill that thief!" Wang Haochen lost his patience and gave the order directly.
"Your Majesty..." Commander Pei was in a dilemma.
"Why, my prince's words are useless?" Wang Haochen glared at him.
Commander Pei was helpless and was about to give the order to charge forward when he suddenly heard a clang and turned around to see that Chu Tang had slowly drawn out his weapon.
The divine weapon Yitian was exposed in front of everyone!
Yitian!
It's scary, isn't it?
Today's Yitian is no longer an ordinary magic weapon, it also has its own legend.
When he thought of Chu Tang's famous "Flying Fairy from Heaven", whose swordsmanship was said to be flawless and irresistible, Commander Pei's heart tightened and his breathing became much heavier.
"Chu Tang, do you dare to do harm to the Crown Prince?" Commander Pei said in a stern voice, "This is Nanqinghou Mansion. You, a little catcher, show off your weapons in front of the Crown Prince. What do you want? You want to collude with the assassin. Do you have any evil intentions towards the prince?"
When he came up, he gave Chu Tang a big hat.
But Chu Tang ignored him, moved his steps, retreated to Chang Xiaoming, and asked softly: "Xiao Ming, how are your master and the others? Where is your junior sister... Zhao Ziyu, Miss Zhao?"
"Master...Brother...Sister..." Hearing this, Chang Xiaoming seemed to have heard something extraordinary. Suddenly his whole body shook and trembled. His eyes became redder and redder, and his voice became hoarse and low, "They... …All are dead! All are dead…”
