Zuan frowned. Was this guy courting death?
However, he was in a hurry to get to the Prince Qi's residence and didn't have time to deal with this guy.
Zu An led his men at breakneck speed toward the Qi Prince's mansion. Along the way, some of his men couldn't help but say, "Boss, are we just rushing to the Qi Prince's mansion like this? Should we go back to the embroidery tower and call some men?"
Seeing their tense expressions, Zu An sighed inwardly, realizing the formidable power of the Prince of Qi. Even the fearless Embroidered-Robe Envoy cowered at the thought of going to his house: "We're not going to confiscate the Prince of Qi's property, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Hearing him say that, those people all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mi Li remained floating beside him, unable to resist saying, "What can you possibly find out at the Qi Prince's residence? You couldn't even find out about Shi Jun, let alone the dignified Qi Prince?"
Zu An replied, "I already have some ideas, but I need to go to the Prince Qi's residence to confirm them."
Soon the group arrived at the Qi Prince's residence. Upon seeing a group of embroidered-robed messengers approaching, the guards of the Qi Prince's residence stopped them with wary expressions.
Zu An said in a deep voice, "I am investigating a case by imperial decree and have important matters to discuss with the Prince of Qi."
The head guard at the main gate of Prince Qi's residence refused outright: "Please return, everyone. The Prince is not in the residence."
"Is he not here or is he simply not going to see me?" Zu An frowned.
The guard snorted, "If I said I wasn't here, then I'm not here."
Zu'an pressed on, "Then do you know where the King of Qi has gone?"
The guard replied coldly, "The prince's whereabouts are highly confidential, how could we casually disclose them?"
Zu An's face also darkened, and he took out his gold token: "Are you making excuses and trying to disobey the imperial decree?"
The guard sneered, "That thing works well elsewhere, but it's useless here. Unless the Emperor himself comes, what right do you lackeys have to enter the mansion?"
Upon hearing his words, the group of embroidered-robed envoys were both shocked and furious. They acted on behalf of the emperor and had never suffered such humiliation.
But this was the Prince Qi's residence, so they dared not act recklessly. They could only look indignantly at Zu An, waiting to see what their superior would do.
Huh, where is he?
The group realized that the spot where the other person had been standing was now empty. Just then, a sharp crack was heard, followed by a scream.
Only then did everyone realize that the head guard, who had just been kneeling on the ground, was now covered in blood and looked utterly miserable.
Standing next to him, Zuan threw the scabbard he had casually snatched to the ground: "Let me teach you a lesson: what it means to have trouble come from your mouth."
The head guard felt like many of his teeth had been broken. He hadn't even seen how the other man moved before he was caught in the crossfire. He wanted to fight back, but the other man's foot was planted on the back of his knee, so he couldn't move an inch.
Hou Wu's anger level increased by 888+888+888...
At this moment, the other guards were both shocked and furious, and they all drew their long swords and surrounded the group of embroidered-robed envoys.
"How dare you cause trouble in the Prince's mansion!" At this moment, a figure rushed out of the mansion. Before the person even arrived, the voice made everyone's ears ring.
Top-tier expert!
I've long heard that the Qi Prince's mansion is full of experts, and now that I've seen it, it's true.
A group of embroidered-robed envoys secretly groaned, realizing they had been misled by the Eleventh Lord. He had clearly said he would act with restraint, yet he had acted so impulsively.
Although they felt a sense of satisfaction watching the guard get beaten up, they are now more worried about their own situation.
If a conflict were to break out, none of them would likely survive.
The dozen or so embroidered-robed messengers were surrounded by the guards of the Prince of Qi's mansion, appearing so weak and outnumbered.
