Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 392.2: Great Cause, Getting Overlooked?

“You Qi Yuan people really are daring, to dare not have this prince taken seriously. This matter, it’s not over!”

The squad leader of the City Defense Squad lowered his eyes, “Wei Prince, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly speak with our Emperor. The one that had the person taken away is our Jin Qinwang’s person.”

Upon hearing this, the Former Wei prince paused for a moment. In reality, Li Hong Yuan can also be considered a focus of their investigation prior to coming, because he truly was a bit special. According to the results of their analysis, if they were to come into conflict with this Jin Qinwang, in the end, nine times out of ten, the one to suffer a loss will be them. However, wasn’t it said that Li Hong Yuan wasn’t close to nor had any dealings with any of the court official? Then, right now, what did this count as? Openly shielding the son of a general, his other brothers were also indifferent? “Your Jin Qinwang? You think this prince is easy to deceive? Could it be that you all think, towards your Qi Yuan’s situation, Great Wei doesn’t know anything at all?” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(F)ɪre

That squad leader of the City Defense Squad immediately just understood his meaning, tugging the corner of his mouth, “This matter has its reasons. The He family young master obtaining Jin Qinwang’s favor, the entire capital all knows. As for the specifics, it’s not something insignificant low-ranking people like us can know. If Wei Prince has any questions, you can directly inquire our Emperor. We received orders to look for prince, so right now, asking prince to allow us to send you back to the inn.” Quickly having the person sent back and completing their task was the most important right now. No matter how the people above fought, for small pond fish like them, it was best to hide far away.

“Our prince entered Qi Yuan’s capital for the first time and just got injured like this, yet you all lowly nobodies are just going to send us back like this?” That bodyguard was also very unyielding.

“In other words, Wei Prince doesn’t want to return to the inn?” Towards people of other countries, they would still be a bit more polite and deferential, but Former Wei, heheh……………

“If not your Emperor personally coming…………”

“Then Wei Prince can just wait. Let’s go.” That squad leader waved his hand, preparing to lead his people away, being quite resolute.

The Former Wei prince, as well as his similarly injured bodyguards, for a moment, were a bit dumbstruck. Just leaving them behind like this? Shortly after, it was just overflowing with anger. Setting aside this prince, even as his bodyguards, because their master held power, they’d rose with his success. Whatever kind of master there was, whatever kind of subordinates there will be. On them, they’d obtained the best backing, used to being arrogant in Former Wei, and moreover, got worshipped and fawned over. When have they ever suffered this kind of loss before, endured this kind of humiliation? At this very moment, never mind the related people, even the entire Qi Yuan capital, as well as the entirety of Qi Yuan, everyone single person, they all wanted to extinguish.

Have to say, after going through such an ordeal, quite a large portion of this Former Wei prince’s blood-thirsty nature can be said to have awoken.

However, right now, saying these things were all useless. From the looks of things now, it’s not like they can continue staying here, right? Especially the Wei Prince, the pain in his chest and abdomen didn’t diminish in the slightest, extremely likely to have injured his heart and lungs. If not properly treating in time, perhaps it will leave behind complications. But, when entering the capital, they’d secretly slipped away, and towards Qi Yuan capital’s layout, they weren’t familiar. Even if wanting to go to the inn, they didn’t know which direction it was in either. Moreover, this Wei Prince and the first prince weren’t of the same faction. Going back in such a sorry state, who knows how he will be mocked. Everything else aside, this Former Wei prince was one that extremely cared about his face.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated, to the extent where the anger attacked the heart. He was already carrying injuries to begin with, so after coughing twice, he directly sprayed a mouthful of blood.

The bodyguards naturally were greatly shocked. Seeing that he was unable to even stand, one of them could only have him carried on their back. The life was all becoming a problem, so where did they have the energy to care about face. But, just when they were about to look for someone to ask, lifting their heads, the originally bustling market was now empty without a soul to be found. All kinds of things scattered all around. Those shops even thoroughly shut their doors already, strangely appearing desolate. A difficult to describe feeling produced in their hearts, just like as if getting abandoned by the entire world.

However, time didn’t wait for people, not allowing for them to feel melancholic. Since there was no one here, then it was best to leave this place first. ———As for going to knock on the merchants’ door, this while, they were still considered clear-headed, not forgetting exactly how this matter today started.

However, unbeknownst to them, the people of the City Defense Squad didn’t really all leave. That squad leader had left behind quite a few people to secretly keep an eye on them, and not do anything else. It’s not that no one raised a question, feeling that this way might not be good, but the squad leader’s one line of ‘they are people from Former Wei’, just thoroughly dispelled their excessive thoughts.

Although these last few years, Former Wei and Qi Yuan appear to be somewhat peaceful, during the beginning of Qi Yuan’s founding, they didn’t fight with Former Wei any less, big and small wars, having both victory and defeat. Don’t know how many people were lost, and how much resources and wealth wasted. The grudge between the two countries can be said to be understood by everyone.

The people of Former Wei originally thought that by going a little farther away, they’ll eventually be able to encounter someone that didn’t witness the scene earlier, yet unexpectedly, even if leaving the market, the people that saw them still rapidly hid away like avoiding the plague god.

This kind of thing, in their eyes, was practically incomprehensible, even thinking that they were deliberately doing this.

Actually, it was completely explainable. Just think, they were merely ordinary commoners. Seeing this many vicious looking people paired with weapons and carrying injuries all over, what reason was there for them to not hide? One has to know, this kind of trouble, getting involved, perhaps will affect one’s own life, or even implicate the entire family. It would be strange for them to not run.

Seeing them like this, the people of the City Defense Squad laughed as they watched from afar. Regardless of who was right or wrong in this matter, their thoughts were just one, serves you right!

Originally, in the territory of one’s enemy, one should just carefully hole up. And when going out, if one were to get recognized, perhaps one will just attract the masses’ animosity. Afterwards, perhaps one will even get covered by a sack somewhere, yet they just had to be full of themselves, not having the least bit of self-awareness, sneaking out on their own. Never mind causing trouble, for things to end up like this now, if not deservedly so, then what?

However, in the end, it wasn’t good to result in death, and they can’t really disregard either. That’s why, that squad leader already had this matter quickly reported up. This kind of matter, naturally no one dared to delay or conceal. Thus, the speed in which it was reported up was very quick. Not long after, it just reached the imperial court.

Le Cheng Emperor naturally was still discussing matters with a few high officials, as well as a few of his sons. After hearing this matter, everyone all fell silent. However, on the inside, they still couldn’t suppress that feeling of satisfaction. Serves, you, right! Even that bastard that made others headache also had a time when he would do something wonderful. However, in the end, they resided in a high position, so can’t easily be influenced by their emotions. That’s why, at least on the surface, they didn’t reveal anything. “Old three, take the trip again, and go have the Wei Prince sent back to the inn. Additionally, have the cause and effect of the whole matter figured out. If it’s my Qi Yuan’s fault, this emperor naturally will give Former Wei an explanation, but if not………………”

The unspoken words couldn’t be more obvious. If it was that Wei Prince that was in the wrong first, then this beating, never mind enduring in vain, they even needed to demand an ‘explanation’ from Former Wei.

“Yes, this son has received the order. Just, imperial father, Gentleman He, as well as his guards, all got taken away by sixth brother’s person. To want to understand the situation, one must still look for Gentleman He. Is it having the person brought out from sixth brother’s place, or……………..”

“Go ask your sixth brother’s opinion. If he releases the person, then just bring the person back. This emperor will personally question. If not, just learn the situation from there.”

“Yes.” Li Hong Ming responded with his mouth, yet on the inside, he felt particularly upset. Similarly sons, yet Le Cheng Emperor just had Li Hong Yuan treated as a son, indulging him in all things. This kind of matter, originally just didn’t need to inquire Li Hong Yuan’s opinion. Wanting to bring in the person, wasn’t that only natural and expected? If they these brothers were to try this, never mind inquiring, the Imperial Guards would’ve directly been sent out, going to the manor to ask for the person. Dare you to try say a single word. ———This was the normal situation. When it comes to Li Hong Yuan, it truly was abnormal to the extreme.

The other princes’ thoughts should more or less be the same, yet they also could only keep their mouth shut tight. The court officials just hung their heads and lowered their eyes. For Ruan Rui Zhong and Luo Pei Shan, the kind that were in the know, they can be said to be in favor of seeing such a thing. As for the others, they were long accustomed to it. In any case, this didn’t involve their own political struggle for power, so what Le Cheng Emperor wanted to do, they also had no way of interfering. What did the heart count as? Did it have the slightest bit to do with them?

As such, Li Hong Ming led along some people and quickly went to pick up the person. Two squads of people opened up the path in front, while he rode on horseback. The moment he saw the person, Li Hong Ming also felt a bit peculiar. Seemingly it was a bit too miserable. However, truthfully speaking, he also felt quite refreshed inside.
