Chapter 461 - Uncle Guo against the Crown PrinceThe dignified head of the Ministry of Industry, a young master of the first rank, had been stomped on the ground in front of everyone.
That scene stunned everyone. No matter if it was the citizens of the Dragon City or the sons of n.o.bles, they were all dumbstruck and stunned.He had never thought that after three years, when he heard that Prince Jian had been a.s.sa.s.sinated in the south, he didn"t show any mercy. In fact, he was still so unbridled and lawless!
"Xiang Yun, you!"
After a brief moment of shock, Mu Qianxing"s breathing became ragged, and the blood in his body was on the verge of boiling and bursting.
Facing this extreme humiliation, his face was distorted. The ten fingers of his hands, which were propped up on the ground, had already pierced deeply into the ground.If he wanted to resist, he wished he could tear the person standing on top of his head into ten thousand pieces!
However, he did not dare to do so because Xiang Yun had left a shadow over him all those years ago. He did not dare to do so even more because Xiang Yun was the son of King Jian.With the war G.o.d behind Xiang Yun not truly confirmed and already fallen, how could he dare to make a move against Xiang Yun!
"Hu!"
Finally, Mu Qianxing took a deep breath and spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice that sounded like it came from his throat.
"Your Highness, this lowly servant doesn"t dare!"Hearing this, the corners of Xiang Yun"s lips curled up in an evil smile.
"Since you don"t dare, then take your place. Don"t try to play tricks on me, otherwise you might end up kneeling down in the ground next time!"
"Scram!"
Having said this, Xiang Yun"s leg swept out, sending Mu Qianxin tumbling away, rolling all the way to the edge of the great Dao!
Seeing this scene, everyone was once again silent and frightened!
Having done all this, Xiang Yun"s gaze calmly swept over the crowd as though nothing had happened. He spoke indifferently to the three great guards behind him, as well as Liu Hong and the rest."Let"s go, follow me into the palace!"
With that, Xiang Yun turned and entered the palanquin!
"Halt!"It was at this moment that a stern shout rang out from behind Xiang Yun!
His uncle from the Tu Nation rode his horse forward, bringing along a few servants from his Imperial Uncle"s estate and blocking Xiang Yun"s path. He looked down at Xiang Yun from above, his eyes filled with ill intent.
At this moment, Xiang Yun was also looking up at this man with an overbearing aura and an arrogant expression!
"You are?" Xiang Yun asked indifferently.
"Hmph! I"m the current dynasty"s uncle, Tu Sanqiu is as well!"
The handsome man snorted coldly, looking haughty as he asked Xiang Yun with his nostrils, "And who are you?"
Xiang Yun smiled, "Oh, so it"s Imperial Uncle who has come. My apologies, my apologies. I"m just a descendant of a royal family in a remote city. I don"t have a official status, nor do I have any preparation. It"s not strange that Imperial Uncle doesn"t know me."
"Humph!" The Imperial Uncle coldly scolded, "Do you know that you"re just a small son of the crown prince?"
A glint flashed in Xiang Yun"s eyes, declining to comment. However, the Uncle of Tu Guo said in a strange tone."A small prince from the north came to the Dragon City and actually wanted three imperial guards to escort him. For so many sons and daughters of officials to kneel down and welcome him, you are truly a n.o.ble prince. You are even more magnificent than the princes and princesses in the imperial city!"
His uncle had only been in the capital for a few months, and because he was the sole twin brother of Empress Tu, she doted on him very much. Gold, silver, jewelry, food, clothing, and even the maids and guards around him were all meticulously chosen.It was truly because of Empress Tu"s pampering. Within the Dragon City, even the princes and princesses were extremely respectful and courteous to their uncle.
Not to mention within Dragon City, the n.o.ble sons and disciples of the other clans and sects were also trying to curry favor with him. There were even some Crown Prince Fan"s sons who were very respectful and tried to curry favor with him.
The fact that these people were all flattering and fawning on him had already made his uncle"s heart flutter.He only felt that as long as his sister was still the current empress, he didn"t need to put anyone else in his eyes, and no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him!
But today, the Crown Prince of the North, whom he had just met, actually dared to order around and threaten everyone in front of him. He even made a move on the Crown Prince"s son, Mu Qixing.Who in Dragon City didn"t know of his relationship with Mu Qianxing? Mu Qianxing was undoubtedly his uncle"s man, and this man dared to make a move against him. Wasn"t this simply slapping his uncle"s face?
At once, the king"s uncle made up his mind that he would teach this arrogant son of the crown prince a good lesson and let him know who was in charge of this Dragon City!
Uncle Guo"s" stand up for him "also gave rise to hope within the hearts of the sons and disciples of Dragon City"s n.o.bles, and even Mu Qixing, who had just been humiliated!
One of them was the Dragon City"s new aristocrat, the empress"s flesh and blood. He could be said to be a limitless figure within Dragon City.One of them was the son of the Dragon City"s First Tyrant, the youngest of the Shoulders King. Although there were many rumors about him now, the power that he had acc.u.mulated for a long time still could not be underestimated!
The two sides faced off against each other. It was hard to say who would emerge victorious. In fact, with the momentum they had now, the imperial uncle might even be able to suppress the crown prince.
The children of officials who were trembling with fear and trepidation were all quietly discussing amongst themselves."This is great! If the Imperial Uncle appears, the Crown Prince will be in for a ride of bad luck!"
"That"s right, Imperial Uncle is currently in Dragon City. The wind and the rain are like the wind and the wind, and the rain are like the rain and the rain. Behind him is the Empress supporting him. No matter how arrogant His Highness is, would he dare to treat Imperial Uncle like how he treated Young Master Mu?""That"s only natural. The reason this prince was so arrogant back then was because of his father"s reputation as the "King Shoulder"."
"Now that Prince Jian has been a.s.sa.s.sinated in the south, we don"t know if he will survive or not. His backer has already fallen, so he can only show off in front of us. How could he have the guts to act so arrogantly in front of Uncle Guang?"
"That"s right, this is going to be a good show!"
The sons of officials of Dragon City were all gloating in their hearts. They were waiting to see how their uncle would teach this" arrogant "crown prince a lesson.
"Hmph, a prince without a t.i.tle of merit, how dare he let so many people kneel and greet him in Dragon City? Forget it, how dare you beat up an imperial court official in front of the Emperor! How dare you!"
The country"s uncle sat on his horse and looked down at Xiang Yun, his voice fierce and aggressive as he interrogated him!
In the face of Uncle Guo"s icy words, Xiang Yun merely shot a glance at him before spreading his hands in a nonchalant manner."So what?"
These five simple words caused everyone present to be stunned. Immediately, a stunned expression was revealed on their faces!
"This …"He had never thought that the crown prince would be so reckless and dismissive in front of the king"s uncle"s scolding. This was simply too arrogant.
Xiang Yun"s contemptuous att.i.tude instantly angered him. This was the famous uncle of the country!
The flames of anger in Tu Sanqiu"s eyes flared up. He did not expect that with his power as the imperial uncle of the dynasty, he would be surrounded by people who treated him with utmost respect.
But the man in front of him, who had appeared out of nowhere, was actually so dismissive of him, not giving him the slightest bit of face in front of so many people!
In an instant, Tu Sanqiu couldn"t take it anymore. He jumped down from his horse, striding in front of Xiang Yun with large strides, raising his hand and pointing it at Xiang Yun"s nose as he yelled in anger!"Impudent! Don"t think that just because you"re the son of a king, this uncle cannot punish you. As a relative of the emperor, not knowing the law is already unforgivable!"
"A sedan chair actually dares to be more imposing than His Majesty"s Dragon Carriage. Could it be that your status is higher than the emperor"s?" Such a heinous act, it is a crime that should not be punished, yet you dare to act so arrogantly! ""Do you believe that as long as this country"s uncle enters the palace and says something in front of the esteemed empress, not to mention a mere crown prince like you, even your royal father wouldn"t be able to take the consequences!?"
Tu Sanqiu"s eyes were wide open as he glared at Xiang Yun. He had brought out his great backer, the Empress, in order to completely suppress Xiang Yun in one go!
Unexpectedly, facing Tu Sanqiu, whose aura was like a mountain, Xiang Yun, who was facing him, had been through from the beginning to the end. His eyelids did not even twitch as his expression was so calm that it was almost bizarre.Tu Sanqiu saw all of this and could not help but feel shock in his heart. Could it be that this kid was scared silly and did not even have an expression on his face?
But when he thought about it again, he realized that he was right. He was just a Crown Prince"s son of a border va.s.sal, who would have some confidence when faced with the current Empress and his hot uncle. He would have to kneel down and beg for mercy later.Just as Tu Sanqiu was imagining Xiang Yun kowtowing and begging him for forgiveness, as well as the gazes of admiration from Mu Qixing and the other n.o.ble sons of Dragon City"s Dragon City officials, all of them were completely complacent!
Xiang Yun who was standing across from him suddenly spoke, his voice calm."Is Uncle finished?"
"Hmm?"Tu Sanqiu froze when he heard this, but he still subconsciously said it out loud.
"Uh, I"m done."Just as his voice fell, Tu Sanqiu suddenly heard the whistling of the wind next to his ears as he rushed forward!
"Pah!"
A crisp thunder-like sound resounded over the street. Soon after, a miserable and mournful cry reverberated over the sky above the Dragon City.At this moment, the north gate of the Dragon City, regardless of whether it was the commoners or the jubilant juniors, all stood still as if they were struck by lightning. Their eyes were filled with horror and disbelief!
In the center of the crowd, on the luxurious golden carpet, the crown prince was still standing there, dressed in his luxurious clothes and a jade belt.In front of him, Uncle Guo"s menacing and harsh words had already rolled to the side of the street. His body was covered in dirt, his hair was disheveled, and blood stained the corners of his mouth. His face was swollen!
"Wu wu!"The country"s uncle covered his swollen cheeks and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two thick white teeth!
"You … You actually dared to hit me!"
Uncle Guo"s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Xiang Yun in disbelief, his head buzzing non-stop!
He had never thought that a crown prince would actually dare to make a move on him, the current imperial uncle. And it was in front of so many people that he had dared to make a move!One had to know that ever since he was young, even his empress sister hadn"t been willing to give him a single slap. Yet this fellow had managed to pull his teeth out with a single slap. The rage in his uncle"s heart could be imagined!
However, facing Tu Sanqiu"s furious gaze, Xiang Yun, who was standing on a golden carpet, slowly retracted his palm. He took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid at the side and carefully wiped his palm.Soon after, Xiang Yun suddenly raised his head as a cold light flashed across his eyes. Killing intent burst forth as he stared at Tu Sanqiu and spoke with a sinister tone!
"Who do you think you are, Uncle Guo? When is it your turn to criticize the matters of my Xiang Family? You"re courting death!"
