Chapter 433 One Ring After Another

Prime Minister Yun was holding a chess piece, looking thoughtful.

"The advantage is that Baise City has become stronger now. Whether it's Jiang Kingdom or Dayan, it would be difficult for them to declare war on Tianyuan through Baise City. After all, Baise City holds military power and is not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated. The disadvantage is that if Baise City does not remain neutral, we in Tianyuan will be worried unless it sides with Tianyuan. However, given the current situation, Baise City's benefits outweigh its disadvantages."

Emperor Tianyuan spoke in surprise upon hearing this.

"The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. How do you know?"

Prime Minister Yun continued to speak.

"Whatever the reason for the incident at the Prince of Qin's Mansion was, it's all in the past. In the eyes of others, even though Jun Moye has been demoted to a commoner, he still has the blood of the Jun family flowing in his veins. Now that he's the lord of Baise City, if Your Majesty still recognizes this nephew, then in the eyes of Dayan and Jiang State, our Tianyuan and Baise City are related by marriage, at least on the surface."

Emperor Tianyuan spoke thoughtfully after hearing this.

"What if he harbors evil intentions..."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Yun made a move, but the game was already lost.

"Your Majesty, you are going to win this round again."

"The development of Baise City is indeed not to be underestimated, but no matter how it develops, it is only a small place. Tianyuan is a great country, and the emperor is a wise ruler. Even if it were to face the Great Yan and Jiang Kingdom, he would not be afraid in the slightest. What's more, Baise City is a small city. No matter how the chess pieces jump around, the person holding the chess pieces, that is, the emperor, is the ultimate winner."

At this time, on the streets of the imperial city, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye, who had finished explaining things to Qingzhi, took a carriage back to the post station.

Suddenly a horse came galloping.

The people hid for a while.

"Be careful, be careful, this horse seems to be crazy..."

“Get out of the way…”

"Be careful, kid..."

The horse rushed straight towards Su Hanchu's carriage and was about to hit it.

Cai Xing, who was sitting in the carriage, had a fierce look in his eyes. This imperial city was indeed dangerous, comparable to the bandit area in Baise City. He then drew the sword from his waist, leaped up, and the sharp sword pierced the horse's neck, and the horse immediately fell to the ground.

The people around cheered.

"Okay, this girl is amazing..."

"Yes, if it weren't for this girl, the horse would have collided with the carriage, and innocent people might have been hurt."

In the carriage, Jun Moye's eyes were deep.

"Chu Chu, it seems someone can't wait any longer. I'm afraid it's not just a mad horse."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Hanchu's eyes.

"The palace banquet will be held in the next day. Before that, he probably wanted to test our strength. He just came back and he's already so nervous. It's really ridiculous."

Suddenly, several sharp arrows came rushing from the front with a whistling sound.

Qinggu and Caixing both took action to block the sharp arrow.

"Command" an arrow with murderous intent flew straight into the carriage.

A sharp light flashed in Su Hanchu's eyes. He raised his hand and waved it. The sharp arrow was blocked by the feather fan and fell to the ground with a "clang".

Then Su Hanchu raised his hand, the purple feather fan in his hand disappeared, and then a sharp sword appeared, slowly lifting the curtain of the car.

"My dear, I invite you to watch a play today."

At this moment, a man in black rushed out from the crowd, holding a dagger, and stabbed at the carriage.

Su Hanchu ordered in a cold voice.

"Qing Gu, Cai Yue, protect the master."

Then he tapped the carriage with his toes, leaped down, and stabbed at the life of a man in black.

Jun Moye leaned against the wall of the carriage and watched Su Hanchu fighting fiercely with the man in black.

The people who were protecting secretly also appeared and fought with the men in black.

The people on the streets had already dispersed, hiding inside their houses, or under tables and stalls on the street.

Su Hanchu was dancing in a red dress, moving lightly among the swords and sabers like a ghost.

The Dragon Roar Sword in her hand flashed with cold light, and every time she swung it, it carried a sharp sword energy that made people shudder.

He nimbly avoided the opponent's fierce attacks and launched a counterattack with thunderous force.

Her swordsmanship was as impenetrable as a violent storm, and each sword strike hit the enemy's vital points accurately. Blood splattered everywhere, and screams were heard.

Jun Moye in the carriage watched her continuously defeat the men in black with a proud smile on his face. Madam is really getting more and more powerful.

Just as Su Hanchu pierced a man in black's chest with his sword, a group of people suddenly came galloping.

“Gee, gee…”

"Stop it, you are so bold! You dare to assassinate the distinguished guest under the emperor's feet."

Seeing this, the remaining men in black hurriedly flew away.

When Su Hanchu saw this, he curled up a sarcastic smile and took out a white handkerchief to wipe the blood off the sword.

"The efficiency of the Tianyuan Yulin Army is quite poor. If they had arrived a moment later, I would have killed all the assassins."

As he spoke, the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground.

The commander of the Yulin Army, Zhai Yu, dismounted from his horse and bowed to Su Hanchu with an apologetic look on his face.

"I, Zhai Yu, the commander of the Yulin Army, am late and have frightened the city lord."

Su Hanchu smiled and sheathed the Dragon Roar Sword.

"I can't say I was frightened, it was just a minor incident. It's just that I've never been happy since I came to your Tianyuan Imperial City. Yesterday, I was stopped outside the city by your Tianyuan Prince Duan. Today, when I went out to eat, I encountered a frightened horse. Then there was the assassin.

Those who know this think that Tianyuan is negligent in management, which is why some people have no rules, and beasts and assassins are rampant. Those who don't know think that Tianyuan is deliberately trying to embarrass me or make me die in Tianyuan Imperial City?"

After saying this, he turned around and got on the carriage without waiting for Commander Zhai to react.

As the commander of the Yulin Army, he was the emperor's most trusted man. Even if it was the prince, he would show some respect. When had he ever been treated with such contempt and disrespect? Zhai Yu was unhappy, but he could only bow.

"I was negligent. Please forgive me, Lord City Lord. It's strange to say, this imperial city is the foot of the emperor and has always been very peaceful. I don't know what happened today, but an assassination attempt occurred. I have arranged for a team of Yulin soldiers to escort you two back to the post station. Such things will not happen again."

So what this means is that the assassination happened only after I came to Tianyuan Imperial City. Su Hanchu's eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his half-smile expression was full of irony.

"There's no need for an escort. I've seen this kind of low-level assassination countless times. It's just a bit surprising that I'd encounter it in a big country like Tianyuan. After all, big countries always value their reputation. An assassination right under the emperor's feet, especially an assassination of a distinguished guest who has come from afar, haha..."

Su Hanchu's words were as sharp as a knife, tearing the superficial polite disguise into pieces, while at the same time revealing a disdainful and sarcastic smile.

Facing Zhai Yu's face that had turned ashen with anger, Su Hanchu spoke calmly.

"Young Master, you haven't taken your medicine tonight yet. Let's go back to the post station."

Then he raised his hand and waved, and the curtain fell.

Qinggu immediately drove the carriage towards the post station.

Seeing this, the guards beside Zhai Yu spoke with a look of dissatisfaction.

"My lord, they are too arrogant."

Zhai Yu looked at the corpses on the ground. Most of them were killed by a single sword. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the back of Su Hanchu's carriage. The mayor of Baise City was a ruthless man.

In the palace.

Emperor Tianyuan is reviewing memorials.

A man in black suddenly appeared.

"emperor."

Emperor Tianyuan didn't even raise his head.

"how?"
