Looking at Zhao Cheng's arrogant demeanor, Huang Hua suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.

This thing...

What a spoiled brat!

Huang Hua pointed to his own nose and asked suspiciously, "Are you insulting me?"

"Yeah, you idiot."

"Where are you from? I've never seen you in Qingdong City."

"Grandpa, I'm not from Qingdong City."

"I know, you're in cahoots with these three thugs!" Huang Hua looked around, inciting the crowd, and shouted, "Too arrogant! A bunch of outsiders come to Qingdong City to act tough, do they think Qingdong City is easy to bully?!"

"There's no need to incite public sentiment; do you expect anyone to help you?"

Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu, who, without even pausing to think, suddenly stepped forward and slashed horizontally with his sword, knocking one of the men in front of him to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. Who were these people?

Would you really kill someone in broad daylight without hesitation?

Zhao Cheng looked around and said, "These three are indeed my friends. They saved this girl, but they were accused of being thieves by hooligans. I don't care whether you believe me or not, but anyone who dares to stop me today will be in for a beating!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu suddenly opened his mouth and roared angrily at everyone, as if he had an epileptic seizure.

"roar!!"

Everyone was so frightened that they backed away.

Zhao Cheng was both satisfied and dissatisfied with Zhao Wu's performance.

Um……

The momentum is there.

But did I raise a mad dog?

Huang Hua was so angry that his teeth itched. He roared, "We outnumber them, what are we afraid of? Tie them all up and lock them in jail!"

"superior!"

"Go!" Huang Hua kicked the person in front of him.

The man charged at Zhao Wu with his knife raised. Once someone started, the other guards surrounded Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Wu dealt with the front, and Yang Taozhi dealt with the back. Before anyone could see what was happening, they heard a series of cracking sounds, and all of Huang Hua's men fell down.

Yang Taozhi didn't even draw her slender sword.

Huang Hua stood alone in front of Zhao Cheng, his fear as if he had been stripped naked.

Zhao Cheng looked at Dong Shier and asked, "How many times did he hit you?"

"I don't remember," Dong Shier shook his head and said, "but at least a hundred times..."

“Three people, that’s three hundred punches,” Zhao Cheng said. “Zhao Wu! Throw him three hundred punches first, but don’t kill him!”

Huang Hua suddenly stepped back, tripped, and fell to the ground, shouting, "Where are there so many?!"

Snap!

Zhao Wu gripped the knife in his hand and walked over, slapping Huang Hua across the face without a word, leaving him stunned.

Snap!

"etc……"

Snap!

"I!"

Snap!

Huang Hua grabbed Zhao Wu's wrists with both hands and shouted, "Do you know who I am?!"

Zhao Wu shook off Huang Hua's hand and made a move to continue hitting him.

"My dad is Huang Zhen!"

"Prefect of Qingdong City!"

"You dare hit me?! Are you out of your minds?!"

Zhao Wu's hand hovered in mid-air as he turned to look at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng acted as if he hadn't heard him and said, "What are you standing there for? Fight!"

Snap!

Huang Hua spat out a mouthful of blood and mumbled, "My father is the Prefect, and you still dare to..."

Zhao Cheng said, "Attack!"

Upon hearing Huang Hua's identity, Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision.

Beating up the governor's son in the street was no small matter, and given his low-key style, he shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it.

But this time was different; he would not allow his soldiers to be insulted and remain indifferent.

Moreover, he was not afraid to make a big fuss, and even this time he wanted to deliberately make a big fuss, so that everyone in Qingdong City would know that he, Zhao Cheng, was in Qingdong City!

The more Zhao Cheng appears in the mouths of the people of Qingdong City, the more time he can create a time difference with the events at Lingshan.

To put it simply, it's about creating an alibi.

Although this proof is not very rigorous, and the timeline does not match the time of the Battle of Lingshan, the incident he caused in Qingdong City makes people subconsciously believe that he has been in Qingdong City recently.

Whether it's rigorous or not isn't important; what's important is muddying the waters!

When he was extorting Yang Qingzhi, Zhao Cheng acted like a kidnapper. Now, he's like a wicked young master who bullies men and women.

He shouted excitedly, "Beat them! Give them a good beating!"

Snap!

*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

Huang Hua dared not raise his head again; he was so badly beaten that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Whoosh!

Just then, two feathered arrows flew over.

Zhao Wu quickly retreated, dodging one arrow, and then used his sword to block another.

A group of forty or fifty men came running, all dressed in the standard armor of the Jingguo Kingdom. The front row of about twenty men drew their bows and aimed them at Zhao Cheng and his men.

Zhao Cheng glanced at them; their equipment clearly indicated they were the garrison of Qingdong City.

"Young Master Huang!"

The two soldiers quickly helped Huang Hua up and pulled him back into the ranks. Huang Hua pointed at Zhao Wu and said weakly, "Kill...kill them..."

Unlike swords, bows and arrows are not as effective at close range. Even Yang Taozhi became cautious, standing protectively in front of Zhao Cheng, with one hand already gripping the hilt of his sword.

The garrison commander raised his hands and shouted, "Kneel down and surrender, or be killed on the spot!"

Zhao Cheng ignored the adjutant and looked at Huang Hua, saying, "Huang Hua, is that right? You say you're the prefect's son, but do you know who I am?"

"Stop your arrogance!" the adjutant shouted. "No matter who you are, Qingdong City is not a place where you can run wild!"

With that, the adjutant looked around and said to the onlookers, "Everyone, disperse! Anyone who gets hit by stray arrows will bear the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers finally dispersed and watched from a distance.
