As a lackey who was used to being bullied by this young master, Liang Sheng shivered when he saw the young master's fierce expression and the chilling aura emanating from him. He quickly put on a show of bravado and shouted, "How dare you! His Highness the Crown Prince is here! You, a mere magistrate of Linghe County, should kneel and kowtow to him!"
Just as Jia Wen was about to roar in anger after being interrupted again, he suddenly heard Liang Sheng's voice, which startled him so much that he trembled. The anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of terror, and his arrogant eyes immediately turned into shifty, cunning eyes.
At this moment, Jia Wen had no airs left at all. He bent over and craned his neck to look this way. Finally, he saw Liang Sheng's figure between the branches at knee height. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face ashen.
Huo Chengche's icy gaze swept over him, and the constable in front of him was immediately frightened and dropped the broadsword in his hand. His knees buckled, and he immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud, his face pale and trembling.
What crime is it to assassinate the crown prince? It's punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!
Tong Youlin stared blankly at the county magistrate and his yamen runners, who were rolling their eyes in fright. He scratched his head, glanced back at Huo Chengche, and then suddenly realized what was going on.
"So the little deity had already informed the county magistrate that you were coming! Oh dear, what a stupid thing to do! If I had known, I would have told them which deity you were! I was too busy talking about the little mountain god who helped us catch the giant python."
With that, Tong Youlin put his hands on his hips, snorted coldly, and pointed at these people, saying, "I told you all long ago that this little baby is the Little Mountain God! But you wouldn't listen! Don't you ever think that the person with the Little Mountain God must also be a deity!"
Hearing the commotion, the constable who had gone off to look for Liang Sheng heard the noise and scrambled over, collapsing to his knees and trembling. Upon hearing this, he looked up at Tong Youlin, his eyes clearly saying—was this man scared out of his wits? He's gone mad, babbling incoherently! Not a single coherent word out of him.
Liang Sheng glanced at him, but then secretly glanced at his two little darlings.
When this guy came to see him just now, he was talking nonsense. If he hadn't brought a handwritten letter from a certain young master, he would have kicked him away as if he were crazy.
Huo Chengche looked at Tong Youlin, who still thought his surname was "Tai" and given name was "Zi," sighed, picked up Liang Sheng, who looked like a fool, and threw him in front of Tong Youlin, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Explain."
"Huh?" Liang Sheng turned around blankly to look at Huo Chengche, then was swept by his cold and sharp gaze. He immediately shuddered and quickly dragged his friend Lin Xian away.
Tong Youlin was completely bewildered. When he saw that the Prefect of Jingzhao had actually grabbed him, although he didn't know what had happened, he immediately let Liang Sheng drag him away in a state of fear and trepidation.
Otherwise, how could Tong Youlin, a burly man, who is equivalent to three Liang Shengs, have been dragged away by the skinny Liang Sheng without even realizing it?
Looking at Tong Youlin's simple-minded appearance, Liang Sheng thought it was no wonder that he was bullied so badly by a stupid county magistrate. As someone who considered himself very smart, Liang Sheng looked down on this old, bearded, simple-minded man.
He cleared his throat and raised his hand respectfully towards Huo Chengche, "This is His Highness the Crown Prince, and the one he is holding in his arms is Princess Fuying, the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Hengchang!"
Tong Youlin looked at Liang Sheng's solemn introduction, followed his hand to look at Huo Chengche, and then said earnestly, "I am grateful for your introduction, sir. I know that this little immortal is called the Crown Prince."
