Chapter 24 What if I beat you, an old dog? !

Li Chengyun's palm fell heavily, and everyone in the room was shocked!
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

No one expected that Li Chengyun would dare to be so blatant and attack the Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi in court.

When Fan Xian saw this scene, he suddenly felt happy.

He had long been dissatisfied with Guo Youzhi.

This person has colluded with the prince many times, so it felt really satisfying to slap him in the face today!
However, while feeling happy, Fan Xian felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He knew that if Li Chengyun had not taken action, the Crown Prince and the Minister of Rites would not be able to do anything to him.

But at this moment, Li Chengyun openly beat important officials of the court.

Even as a prince, it was difficult to escape severe punishment.

What worries Fan Xian even more is that the prince's side will definitely take this opportunity to justify attacking Li Chengyun.

If Li Chengyun resisted, they would take advantage of the situation and strike hard.

By then, no one will be able to accuse them of being biased in their behavior.

Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, was beaten by the prince in court. How could he let it go? He would definitely seek justice.

Although the world belongs to the royal family, the power of the scholar-officials should not be underestimated.

Although Emperor Qing holds great power, he also needs the strong support of civil and military officials.

Fan Xian was worried. Li Chengyun had always been steady, so why was he so reckless today?

Compared to Fan Xian's worry, the prince's mood at this moment was a mixture of anger and surprise.

He was angry, of course, because Li Chengyun openly beat Guo Youzhi in front of him. This was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority, like a heavy slap in the face to him.

The surprise came from the fact that Li Chengyun dared to beat the Minister of Rites, which undoubtedly provided them with a more legitimate reason to take action.

The prince felt that today might be a godsend opportunity to depose Li Chengyun in one fell swoop. Even if that was not possible, he could at least expel him from Kyoto!

However, Li Chengze frowned and looked disappointed.

In his opinion, Li Chengyun's behavior in the court was understandable if it was only directed at palace editors like Guo Baokun.

But today he openly beat the Minister of Rites, and the situation has become serious.

At this moment, even Emperor Qing could not keep Li Chengyun safe and sound.

After all, no matter how he defended himself, Guo Youzhi was right at the moment.

His son was beaten and threatened by a prince. No matter how you look at it, he was the weaker party.

However, Li Chengyun remained arrogant and domineering, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's disgust.

Li Chengze couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that his sixth brother is not a hidden talent, but is just so reckless by nature.

In his heart, Li Chengyun's status instantly dropped a lot and was far inferior to Fan Xian.

At this moment, Guo Youzhi was half lying on the ground, covering his cheek, feeling the burning pain on his face, and staring at Li Chengyun with wide eyes.

His face was distorted, and he pointed at Li Chengyun in disbelief, his voice trembling: "How dare you hit me?!"

Li Chengyun sneered, with a disdainful arc on his lips:

"Even if I beat you, an old dog, what can you do to me?"

He took a light step forward, bent down slightly, and lightly grabbed Guo Youzhi's trembling finger that was pointing at him.

A crisp "crack" sound!
Li Chengyun used a little force and broke Guo Youzhi's fingers.

Guo Youzhi was in so much pain that he let out a terrifying scream. The sound was shrill and desperate, and echoed in the court.

However, Li Chengyun did not give up.

As Guo Youzhi screamed, he suddenly kicked out with such force that Guo Youzhi flew out and rolled on the ground for several times before stopping.

For a moment, there was complete silence inside and outside the court.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

The prince finally came to his senses. He couldn't let Li Chengyun continue to act like this, so he shouted:
"Quickly capture this officer!"

Hearing the prince's order, the guards around him woke up as if from a dream and rushed forward.

However, they did not rush directly towards Li Chengyun, but carefully formed a circle around him.

Facing these guards, Li Chengyun remained calm.

As an eighth-rank master, he was naturally not afraid of these ordinary guards.

He looked around, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly found the flaw in the encirclement. Then, he exerted force on his feet and rushed out like an arrow.

The first guard who tried to approach Li Chengyun had greed and expectation in his eyes, thinking that he was about to make great military achievements.

However, just as he stretched out his hand, Li Chengyun's figure had already circled behind him like a ghost, and he struck out with a light palm, and the guard fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Li Chengyun's skills are so fast that they are astonishing.

All you could hear was the continuous sound of "bang! bang!"

He moved among the guards as if strolling in the garden, and every time he struck out with a palm, someone would fall to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, the guards sent by the prince fell to the ground in pieces, with wailing sounds one after another.

However, Li Chengyun still had his clothes fluttering in the wind, and was unharmed. He even had the mood to gently stroke his hair that was messed up by the wind.

This scene shocked everyone present.

There was an uproar inside and outside the court, with discussions rising and falling.

"Everyone says that the Sixth Prince Li Chengyun is a waste, and that his body has long been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. But after seeing him today, how can he look like he has been hollowed out?"

"Rumors are really unbelievable. The Sixth Prince Li Chengyun is actually a hidden master!"

Upon seeing this, the prince's face suddenly changed and became extremely gloomy.

He never expected that this legendary loser could defeat his guards so easily.

You know, these dozens of his guards are all fifth-rank warriors and are quite powerful.

But in front of Li Chengyun, he was as vulnerable as an ant.

It is difficult for an ordinary eighth-grade warrior to escape unscathed when facing these guards.

But the prince remained determined and unwilling to give up easily.

He immediately called the people around him and whispered:
"Take my order and head to the East Palace immediately to gather the Crown Prince's personal guards here. Be quick!"

After giving the order, he turned his gaze to Li Chengyun, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Today, he vowed to suppress this sixth brother.

Li Chengze was shocked when he saw this, and quickly asked Fan Wujiu beside him in a low voice:

"Can you tell the depth of Sixth Brother's strength?"

Fan Wujiu frowned, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:

"It is difficult for me to gauge the Sixth Prince's strength. Although he has not yet reached the ninth rank, even I cannot easily deal with the Crown Prince's guards."

Li Chengze knew very well that the guards around the prince were all fifth-rank masters. When he heard what Fan Wujiu said, he couldn't help but gasp.

If it is true as Fan Wujiu said, then Li Chengyun already has the strength close to the ninth rank? !

He secretly marveled in his heart that he had underestimated his sixth brother.

It turns out that the reason why Li Chengyun can be so arrogant is not only because of his status as a prince, but also because of his confidence in his own strength.

At this point, Li Chengze was certain that Li Chengyun was hiding his abilities.

But at the same time, a trace of doubt lingered in his heart.

Li Chengyun has been hiding his strength for many years, so why can't he hold back and show his strength today?

Wouldn't all his years of hiding be in vain?
Or maybe, Li Chengyun's move today has some hidden meaning?
Li Chengze's heart trembled slightly, as if he was looking at flowers in the fog, and it was difficult to see Li Chengyun's true thoughts.

This sixth brother was actually a little hard for him to understand.

Fan Xian watched Li Chengyun defeat those guards with ease, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Although he knew that Li Chengyun was not the dandy prince as rumored by the outside world, he had never expected that Li Chengyun's strength was so powerful.

With Fan Xian's strength, it would take some effort for him to deal with these guards, but Li Chengyun was able to do so with ease.

Doesn't this mean that Li Chengyun's strength is far above his?
among the crowd.

Fan Ruoruo finally let go of her worries.

When she saw the guards besieging Li Chengyun, she became panicked and extremely worried.

Now seeing that Li Chengyun was so powerful that he not only escaped danger successfully but also easily dealt with those guards, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Fan Ruoruo became even more curious.

How did Li Chengyun possess such powerful strength?
