Chen Zhou was now very annoyed that he couldn't see anything. He could only see one soldier on each carriage, and nothing else. The curtains of almost every carriage were tightly closed, making it difficult for Chen Zhou to see inside.
Therefore, Chen Zhou was unable to see Jiang Ying at all.
Just now, when Chen Zhou heard the person next to him say that the person sitting in the car was a princess, Chen Zhou became inexplicably excited. Chen Zhou didn't know why he was excited. He just knew that he could see his junior sister again. After so long, how was his junior sister doing?
Chen Zhou even had the urge to lift the curtain of the carriage right now, but Chen Zhou was currently devoid of true energy and could not even defeat the soldiers on the carriage, let alone open the curtain.
At this moment, the soldiers on the carriages all turned their gazes to Chen Zhou, their eyes wide with anger.
"Who exactly is this beggar? Why is he defying the princess's carriage in broad daylight?" one of the soldiers asked slowly.
Upon hearing this soldier's words, the other soldiers looked at the one who had spoken and said, "Who cares who he is? He's just a stinking beggar who doesn't know the rules. He'll learn his lesson after a few lessons."
After these soldiers finished speaking, the soldier who had spoken earlier nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.
The soldiers on the carriage were all guards selected through a rigorous process, so they naturally knew what they should and shouldn't do, and what they should and shouldn't say. They were well aware of these things.
In this situation, it is necessary to make an example of him. Since this beggar dared to defy the princess's carriage, they dared to make him pay the price in public.
As the carriage drew closer to the beggar, the soldiers on the carriages jumped down. Only the soldiers on the lead carriage did not jump down; the soldiers on the other carriages jumped down and slowly walked towards the beggar.
As these people moved around, they would occasionally twist their knuckles, making a "rubbing" sound, and their footsteps gradually approached Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou was still staring at the first carriage, so focused on it that he didn't notice someone walking towards him.
Chen Zhou kept hoping that the carriage curtain would suddenly open, but his gaze never left the carriage. The curtain was never lifted, and Chen Zhou didn't even dare to blink, afraid that he would suddenly miss something.
"Is that really my junior sister sitting inside...?" Chen Zhou murmured, staring blankly at the carriage.
Chen Zhou's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it was overheard by a middle-aged man next to him. This middle-aged man had a kind face and had just reminded Chen Zhou to kneel down, but Chen Zhou had not listened. Now, upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, his face was filled with fear.
Is this beggar out of his mind...? The person sitting in that carriage is a princess from the Southern Kingdom... not only a princess from the Southern Kingdom... but she could very well be the empress from the Northern Kingdom... What is this beggar muttering to himself? Could it be that the princess is his senior sister? How could that be?
Princess only stayed at Jianyun Sect for a short time when she was young, and then she was brought back. How could this beggar be a member of Jianyun Sect?
"Little beggar! Stop looking! Kneel down now! The guards over there are coming towards you!" The middle-aged man lay on the ground, staring at the legs slowly approaching them from the left, and said in fear.
The middle-aged man was not only afraid that the guard would harm innocent people, but he was also afraid that the guard would beat Chen Zhou to death right there on the street.
The middle-aged man had never been able to stand the sight of blood since childhood. In this situation, he couldn't move an inch, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the princess. However, he was afraid that if he were to be exposed to blood, he would tremble uncontrollably. The middle-aged man was very afraid that he would be implicated.
That's why the middle-aged man is getting more and more agitated, urging Chen Zhou to kneel down immediately, and even trying to grab Chen Zhou's sleeve to make him kneel down.
However, Chen Zhou's clothes were tattered. The middle-aged man gently tugged at them a few times, and he tore off two or three pieces of the clothes. So the middle-aged man dared not use this trick anymore. The beggar was so engrossed in watching that he did not realize that someone was walking towards him.
The middle-aged man wanted to remind the young man, but he couldn't speak no matter what. The guard had already walked up to them.
Chen Zhou was still staring blankly until the guard walked right up to him. Only after the guard completely blocked his view did Chen Zhou come back to his senses and look at the guard with a serious expression.
Their eyes met, and the guard had never seen a beggar like this before.
This beggar was young, and there was not a trace of fear of the soldiers in his eyes. At this moment, there was... actually anger?
"Why are you blocking my way?" Chen Zhou said sternly.
"You still dare to ask why?" The leading soldier kicked Chen Zhou in the chest, sending him flying more than a meter off the ground before he crashed heavily to the ground.
Seeing Chen Zhou fly back a meter, several soldiers immediately surrounded him. This was exactly the effect they wanted; they absolutely could not allow such a person to disrupt the rules of the Southern Kingdom.
"I didn't do anything! Why did you kick me?" Chen Zhou continued to peer through the gaps between the soldiers at the stopped carriage behind him, speaking with displeasure. The men were blocking his view.
If the curtain were to open now, wouldn't he have missed it? The more Chen Zhou thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately stood up, pushed aside the soldiers in front of him, and strode forward. The carriage hadn't stopped yet, so Chen Zhou immediately chased after it.
