Chapter 29: Lao Huang, let’s keep going!
Qin Lang was wearing armor, and his confidence in victory was evident in his expression.
Jian Jiuhuang gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Li Chengyun appeared in front of everyone.
He slightly side-glanced and gave Qin Lang an indifferent look.
"General Qin, you want to capture me and bring me back. If I refuse, what will you do?"
Qin Lang heard this and sneered, his voice was like a bell:
"Sixth Prince, I am just a rough man! Today, I, Qin Lang, only obey the orders of the Crown Prince, no matter who you are."
After saying this, his expression suddenly turned cold, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes:
"If Your Highness refuses to cooperate, don't blame me, Qin Lang, for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun snorted, as if he was sneering at the threat.
He turned around and whispered to Jian Jiuhuang: "Old Huang, let's keep going."
Jian Jiuhuang responded, lowered the curtain, and looked at Qin Lang and others with a smile:
"My young master has ordered that all generals please make way."
After saying that, the carriage started slowly, ready to move forward.
Seeing this, Qin Lang frowned and looked gloomy:
"Your Highness, I know that you are a rare ninth-grade master in the world."
“But today, even if the Grand Master comes in person, I, Qin Lang, will make sure he never returns!”
He rode his horse back, raised his powerful arms, and shouted, "Go!"
As soon as the order came out.
The surrounding black-armored knights surged forward like a tide, heading straight for the quaint carriage.
When all his troops rushed forward to kill.
suddenly.
There was a loud bang!
An earth-shaking momentum erupted from the carriage, as if thunder and a strong wind were blowing.
Those knights who rushed towards the carriage were blown away like fallen leaves under this mighty force and fell heavily to the ground!
Qin Lang heard the loud noise and turned around suddenly.
Witnessing this scene, his eyes were filled with astonishment, and waves of horror and confusion surged in his heart.
"Release of true energy?!" he whispered, shocked.
Only a master of the ninth level can do this.
In the Qing Kingdom, there are very few masters at the upper level of the ninth rank. I never thought that the Sixth Prince would have such a master by his side.
Qin Lang's gaze turned to the man driving the carriage - Jian Jiuhuang. He looked like a beggar, but still had a smile on his face and drove the carriage leisurely.
Qin Lang's heart sank suddenly and he was filled with anger.
So what if he was in the upper realm of the ninth rank? Could he really resist these thousands of elite guards?
Qin Lang's eyes flashed with a fierceness, and he decisively ordered the archers on the periphery: "Shoot!"
The archers responded with their bowstrings taut.
In an instant, hundreds of arrows streaked across the sky and shot straight towards the carriage like meteors!
However, what is shocking is that.
When those hundreds of arrows were about to hit the carriage, they suddenly stopped in the air, as if they were restrained by an invisible force and could not move forward any further!
There was an uproar!
The guards looked at each other, unable to believe what they saw.
They have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. When have they ever seen such a strange scene?
Even when facing an eighth-rank master, their arrows were enough to turn him into a sieve.
But the ninth-grade upper-level master before them could resolve their attacks so easily.
The archers were even more stunned.
They were well aware of the power of their arrows, which were simply difficult for ordinary masters to resist. But now they were blocked by this mysterious force, and a chill rose in their hearts.
Everyone was surprised and confused, and talked a lot.
However, Jian Jiuhuang seemed to have expected all this. He still had a smile on his face, driving the carriage at a leisurely pace, and said calmly:
"Everyone, my young master has already given instructions. Please give me some convenience and don't make things difficult for me, Old Huang."
Qin Lang stared at the groom, who was dressed in tattered clothes but calm and composed, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
He was also shocked by the profound strength displayed by Jian Jiuhuang.
However, he was clear about one thing: if he succeeded today, he would be successful and famous, but if he failed, he would be doomed.
If we can successfully capture the Sixth Prince, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
But if they fail, the prince will not protect them, and His Majesty will not let go of these guards who dared to attack the prince.
Thinking of this, Qin Lang trembled all over, but he regained his composure in an instant.
He glanced at Lao Huang and the carriage, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Even a master of the ninth rank upper realm would not be able to escape unscathed while protecting others when facing a siege of thousands of people.
"Follow me!"
At Qin Lang's command, he took the lead and led the guards to rush towards the carriage.
at the same time.
In the palace.
Emperor Qing learned that the Crown Prince had sent his personal guards to take action.
Because the streets were blocked, outsiders could not know the details inside.
But Emperor Qing was not in a hurry. He knew that the truth would come out soon.
His face was as calm as water at this moment, and the situation of Li Chengyun being besieged did not stir up any waves in his heart.
He knew that all he had to do now was wait for the results.
If Li Chengyun can break free from the predicament and escape the control of the prince, he will become a rare whetstone.
At that time, he will definitely come to the rescue and give Li Chengyun certain power to help him compete with the prince in the court.
In this way, not only can the power of the crown prince be contained, but also they can join forces with the second prince to form a force that poses a threat to the crown prince.
He firmly believed that this whetstone was extremely useful.
He also didn't want to waste Li Chengyun's talent in martial arts.
It is a blessing for the royal family to have another great master.
He will definitely devote all his efforts to carefully train Li Chengyun, hoping that he can achieve the level of a grandmaster within five to ten years.
Share some of the pressure with him.
However, if Li Chengyun fails to survive this disaster, he may be captured by the prince.
Then he is nothing but a waste.
Emperor Qing's attitude towards waste has always been clear: either ignore it or make use of it.
If Li Chengyun became that living waste, he might become a useful chess piece in Emperor Qing's hands.
It can be used as a tool for the prince to show off his power, and it can also disgust certain people in the court.
If the prince insists, he can be sent to the border to guard the country to appease the court officials and the prince, just like the eldest prince did before.
If Li Chengyun unfortunately died.
Emperor Qing will take this opportunity to severely reprimand the Crown Prince and cleverly weaken the power of the Crown Prince's side to restore the balance of the court situation.
This is the way of the emperor.
It’s about checking and balancing all parties.
Emperor Qing understood this principle well.
For him, a son's life or death is not crucial; what matters is the value behind it.
Whether Li Chengyun lives or dies this time, it contains great value.
Therefore, no matter what the final outcome is, Emperor Qing remains calm and composed.
He is the supreme judge.
Hold the imperial power, balance the forces of all parties, and decide life and death in the world.
At this moment, Emperor Qing's eyes became more and more indifferent, as if everything in the world was under his control.
……
And outside the street cordon of Kyoto Prefecture.
When the prince heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from inside, he nodded secretly in his heart.
"It should be about the same. Li Chengyun will not be able to escape this disaster this time."
The prince was full of confidence and felt that he had already won.
He glanced at his aunt, the eldest princess, beside him, and a subtle emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was instantly covered by a look of pride.
He spoke in a gentle and graceful voice, with some joy in his voice:
"Aunt, I believe that Li Chengyun will surrender soon! This time the plan was extremely thorough and it was a great success! The credit for this should go to you, Aunt!"
The princess smiled softly upon hearing this, and responded softly:
"You are too kind. I am only trying my best. The real success depends on your power and wisdom, Prince."
