The members of the delegation fell to their knees in fear at the words "Huangfu…Prince." It's no exaggeration to say that Huangfu Lingao's fame resonated throughout the continent, especially among the subjects of Tianqing. In recent years, the Posha Army, led by Huangfu Lingao, had been stationed year-round at the border with Tianqing, engaging in numerous battles. Crown Prince Huangfu swept through countless armies, his prestige unleashing awe in Tianqing.
Posha summoned several people to pin the man who had just whipped him to the ground and said in a cold voice, "Execute!"
"Prince Huangfu, please spare my life, Prince Huangfu, please spare my life..."
"Stop..." an angry male voice came from a distance, and the soldiers in formation split the crowd into two. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Second Prince of Tianqing Kingdom approaching with a group of people.
"Your Highness, help me, Your Highness, help me!" The envoy of Tianqing Kingdom who was pinned to the ground struggled to ask for help from his own Highness.
Shangguan Chiyue looked at Huangfu Lingao with a cold expression and asked, "Prince Huangfu, I wonder how this follower of mine has offended you, to the point where you have to trouble Commander Posha to execute me in the street like this?"
As he spoke, he swept his eyes over Po Sha, his eyes filled with venom, wishing he could eat his flesh alive. Although Shangguan Ruiyi often suffered at the hands of Po Sha, as his younger brother, he was happy to see it happen.
But now Shangguan Ruiyi is gone, and when it is his turn to face the Posha Army, Shangguan Chiyue is filled with hatred.
Huangfu Lingao's eagle eyes swept over Shangguan Chiyue, and when he saw the person behind him, his eyes flashed, "If so..."
Ru Shi still had that calm, unhurried look. He saluted Huangfu Lingao and said, "Prince Huangfu..."
Shangguan Ruiyi died tragically in Mount Qishan, but as the accompanying military advisor, he was able to escape unscathed and was still favored by Emperor Tianqing. This time, he was even able to accompany Shangguan Chiyue to escort the princess to Shengyuan, which shows his ability and means.
Huangfu Lingao said, "Second Prince, your followers rode their horses in the street, injuring the people of Shengyuan and offending Princess Ningguo..."
"And my sister-in-law, Qiqing..." Huangfu Lingmeng stepped forward and interrupted. After receiving Huangfu Lingao's cold warning, he retreated back to Qiqing's side.
Huangfu Lingao continued, "According to the laws of the Shengyuan calendar, he must be whipped eighteen times in the street. Second Prince, please stand aside and do not obstruct the execution, lest Posha accidentally injure the Second Prince. Posha... execute the sentence."
After saying that, he no longer cared about Shangguan Chiyue's expression, stepped aside, and signaled for the execution.
Without even a glance at Shangguan Chiyue, Posha whipped the envoy who was pinned to his knees on the ground. The envoy convulsed in pain and cried out loudly.
"Huangfu Lingao...you!" Shangguan Chiyue gritted his teeth, hating Huangfu Lingao for not giving him face, and was also angry that the envoy cried too loudly, bringing shame to Tianqing Kingdom.
The killing whip was extremely tricky and extremely painful, yet it dragged on until the last whip, killing the envoy. Every time the envoy cried out, Shangguan Chiyue and the people of Tianqing Kingdom looked uglier.
It was on this Shengyuan Street that the face of the Tianqing Kingdom was completely trampled underfoot and sunk into the mud.
Prince's Mansion Study
"Your Highness, that Mr. Ru Shi actually followed the Second Prince of Tianqing Kingdom and escorted the princess to Shengyuan. This man is a man of deep thoughts and should not be underestimated," Zhou Nian frowned.
For some reason, every time he saw Ru Shi, he always felt a sense of unease. This man was too mysterious and too powerful.
Whether it was his shameless expression as he used the flesh and blood of thousands of living people to break the blood sacrifice formation, or his calm and composed face in the face of the tragic death of his own prince, there was no ripple at all.
Such coldness and cruelty, yet unparalleled scheming, made Zhou Nian feel cold in his heart.
"Posha, while Tianqing Kingdom is staying in Shengyuan, arrange someone to keep an eye on Mr. Rushi. No, you go there yourself..." Huangfu Lingao ordered.
"Yes...Your Highness." Posha accepted the order and turned to walk out.
Zhou Nian couldn't help but say, "Posha, be careful, that Mr. Rushi is definitely not a simple person."
"It has nothing to do with you," Posha said indifferently, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Huangfu Lingao glanced at the distraught Zhou Nian, but ultimately said nothing. Even as their master, there were some things he couldn't decide.
Zhou Nian calmed down and turned around, saying to Huangfu Lingao, "Oh, Master. That Miss Qiqing is really amazing."
In today's emergency, he was able to instantly leap down from the second floor and single-handedly flip over an excited horse. Even Huangfu Lingao couldn't claim to be able to do such a skill.
"Before today, I didn't feel her internal strength," said Huangfu Lingao.
Today's movements, such a powerful internal force, even Huangfu Lingao felt inferior. But he clearly possessed extraordinary internal force, but he couldn't feel it.
"Your Highness, this Miss Qiqing is too weird. I am worried about her..." Zhou Nian said worriedly, wondering if she was approaching Your Highness on purpose or if she had some conspiracy.
Huangfu Lingao frowned slightly and said, "If that were the case, she wouldn't have been so easily exposed today."
"Maybe he did it on purpose, trying to gain the princess's trust," Zhou Nian said.
Huangfu Lingao shook his head: "No, such strange skills are far more important than Meng'er's trust, not to mention that Meng'er likes her."
Such skill and the ability to surprise others are far more important than gaining the princess's trust. Moreover, her exposing herself in this way will only make us wary and defensive.
Zhou Nian nodded in agreement. If it were him, as a spy, he would never take action under today's circumstances.
Zhou Nian couldn't help but sigh. He never expected that the little girl that His Highness had rescued on the road, who looked soft, cute and fragile, would actually have such skills.
Zhou Nian jokingly said, "I need to recall if there is anything I have failed to do during this period that has upset Miss Qiqing."
