"Prince Lu has issued a clear order: Qingzhou City will be under curfew every day! No one without a tooth card will be allowed to stay overnight in the city!"
Captain Yu clasped his hands together, bowed to the heavens, and said, "I am also acting on the orders of the King of Lu!"
"Besides, how do you know that this man without a tooth card is not the thief?" Captain Yu raised his eyes arrogantly and didn't even look at the old man.
There were also people standing up for justice nearby, "Sir, this frail old man is carrying a baby boy, and you actually call him a thief?"
"Yes, the old man looks frail, and the boy is so young, how could he be a thief?"
Captain Yu was speechless for a moment, his face flushed slightly, and then he became a little angry.
"Send away all the outsiders!"
"Do you still want to do this job?"
He ignored the onlookers' advice and took out his anger on the guards at the city gate, "When the time comes, close the city gate immediately. No delay!"
"Yes!" The guards at the city gate had no choice but to answer yes and began to drive away the people surrounding the old man.
"Sir, please, cough... cough... let my grandson in!" The old man still didn't give up. With a "thump", he knelt down in front of Captain Yu, hugged his legs with both hands, and kept begging!
"Grandpa, don't ask him. I won't go into the city." The boy stared at Captain Yu fiercely and reached out to pull his grandfather.
"Sir, please be kind, cough... cough... I only have this one grandson, nothing can happen to him! cough... cough..." The father-in-law kowtowed like crazy.
"Drive them out of the city!"
Captain Yu glanced at the old man with disgust, flicked his whip and said, "Someone come here? Drive these two out of the city!"
"Stop!" Zhang Yu couldn't help himself. He quickly walked to the old man's side and helped him up. "What kind of official are you to bully the weak?"
Captain Yu was so angry that he swung a whip at Zhang Yu. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu grabbed the end of the whip and pulled it lightly, making him stagger.
"Hahaha..." The onlookers burst into laughter.
Captain Yu's face instantly turned purple. He never expected that this handsome and thin boy could have so much strength.
As soon as his hand loosened, the whip was snatched away by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu threw the whip on the ground.
"Someone come! Capture him!" Captain Yu was extremely angry!
Hearing Captain Yu's angry shout, the guards at the city gate rushed over and surrounded Zhang Yu.
At this time, the people who were leaving or entering the city also gathered at the city gate, and the noise was endless.
"Uncle Ai, beat him! Beat him!"
The voice of the one-year-old baby in the crowd was surprisingly loud.
Zhang Yu looked around and realized that Shen Yuyao had come over with Xia Xiaoxian.
Next to Shen Yuyao was Zi Su, and behind her stood Xia Yu and Monk Daoyan.
Zi Su squatted down and hugged Xia Xiaoxian, "Little Princess, don't get too close."
In the middle of the field, Captain Yu pointed at Zhang Yu and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kneel down before me now, kowtow and admit your fault, and I will spare your life!"
"Young man, the people should not fight against the officials. Don't let me hurt you." The old man just walked to Zhang Yu tremblingly. The little boy did not say anything and followed his grandfather to stand next to Zhang Yu.
"Grandpa, he can't hurt me." Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said to the boy, "Little brother, take your grandpa to the side to rest. Brother is fine."
"Okay!" The boy nodded, took his grandfather's hand and retreated into the crowd.
"Do you really think I'm made of tofu?" Captain Yu saw that Zhang Yu didn't take him seriously at all, and he was even more furious. "Catch him!"
The guards at the city gate, hearing Captain Yu's orders again, could only quickly surround Zhang Yu and draw their swords against him.
The crowd watching was also afraid of the blindness of swords and knives, so they retreated far away, leaving a clear space in the middle of the scene.
Captain Yu was too embarrassed to pick up the horsewhip from the ground. He also drew his sword and shouted at Zhang Yu, "Do you know who I am? How dare you go against me?"
He looked at Zhang Yu, who was well-dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, and knew he was definitely not an ordinary person. He thought of trying to scare him a little and get back on track.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu snorted coldly.
"Then why don't you ask who my father is?"
Captain Yu had always suspected that Zhang Yu was not an ordinary person. After hearing what he said, he guessed that he must have some background.
"Then who is your father?"
Zhang Yu: "Your ancestors!"
When he said this, the onlookers were stunned.
His father is his ancestor? Then who is he to him?
"Haha, he's your grandpa!" The one-year-old baby always wants to finish him off! "I'm your great aunt!"
"Hahaha..."
The onlookers were actually amused by the young boy and the baby, and many of them laughed out loud.
Zi Su, who was standing next to the baby, couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"Cough... cough..." Shen Yuyao couldn't help but cough lightly, and turned around to look at Xia Yu again.
Xia Yu remained expressionless, but the muscles on his face seemed to be trembling slightly.
Monk Daoyan clasped his hands together and lowered his head.
Shoulders shaking.
"If you apologize to that old man, I won't bother with you anymore."
Captain Yu was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. "Where did you come from, you outsider? You're so shameless! I'm the younger brother of Princess Lu. Be careful or I'll have Prince Lu raid your house and exterminate all ten of your clans!"
A murmur rose from the crowd, "He is actually the princess's brother?"
King of Lu?
It’s King Lu again!
Shen Yuyao's heart trembled. What was the relationship between this person and King Lu?
Zhang Yu frowned. "Are you talking about the ninth son of the current Great Xia Dynasty Emperor, Prince Lu Xia Wei?"
Captain Yu was extremely proud, "Exactly! Are you scared?"
Zhang Yu pursed his lips. He didn't expect that a small captain at the city gate would be the brother of Princess Lu?
Captain Yu saw Zhang Yu stunned and thought the young man had been intimidated by him, so he became even more proud. "Outlander, kowtow and admit your fault, and have your parents apologize, and I will spare your life!"
Suddenly, a voice, neither loud nor soft, reached everyone's ears: "What a big tone."
Shen Yuyao looked back and saw that Xia Yu couldn't help it after all.
The crowd dispersed to make way, and Xia Yu strode up to Captain Yu with an extraordinary demeanor.
Captain Yu took a look and realized that the man who came out was not someone he knew. He must be a stranger passing by and didn't know his place!
He glanced at Xia Yu with contempt: "Who are you?"
Zhang Yu saw Xia Yu walk into the arena, and hurried to Xia Yu's side, whispering, "Your Highness."
Captain Yu was startled and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness? Your Highness?"
Isn’t the only prince in Qingzhou City Prince Lu Xia Wei?
He just said that he was the younger brother of Princess Lu, and it was not completely groundless bragging.
Although he was only the cousin of Prince Lu's concubine Tang, and was born out of wedlock, he had met Prince Lu after all.
Could it be that this person in front of me wants to impersonate King Lu?
Xia Yu glanced sideways and said, "Capture him for me!"
