Hua Yuanzhao was still calm. She pulled back Fuling who was protecting her. In her hand hanging by her side, there appeared an inconspicuous small spray bottle.
"What are you going to do?"
The burly man in the lead sneered: "I've been waiting for you for a whole day, and finally I caught you. What's the matter? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended!"
"You dare to commit crimes under the feet of the emperor! Is there any law in the world?" Hua Yuanzhao frowned and asked, trying to delay time as much as possible so that the two men could recover their strength.
The sturdy men formed a circle and looked at the two men as if they were a cat playing with a mouse. They laughed happily when they heard the question.
"The king's law?" The strong man looked at the two men with contempt: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the king's law!"
Hua Yuanzhao was slightly surprised: When did she offend the second prince?
This surprise was fleeting, and she immediately figured out the whole thing.
The Second Prince Gu Changyan and the Third Prince Gu Changsu have always been at odds with each other. The incident in front of the antique shop yesterday was probably a deliberate plot by Gu Changyan and arranged by Gu Changsu, but she ruined the situation by accident.
It seems that she saved people and helped Gu Changsu clear his suspicion, which aroused Gu Changyan's jealousy.
"If the Second Prince is angry, then go and settle the score with the Third Prince! What's the point of bullying a commoner like me?"
Hua Yuanzhao diverted the trouble to others without any hesitation.
"If it weren't for the selfless dedication of the Third Prince, I wouldn't have been able to save that man!" Hua Yuanzhao shouted.
The sturdy man raised his eyelids, too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and raised his fist to hit her.
If the Second Prince could easily deal with the Third Prince, why would he have spent so much effort on planning yesterday?
The moment the sturdy man raised his hand, Hua Yuanzhao also suddenly raised his hand and pressed the spray bottle button towards the man's eyes.
A shrill scream suddenly rang out, and the strong man covered his eyes, bent over and howled in pain.
"My eyes—"
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at this sudden change in shock.
Hua Yuanzhao pulled Fuling, pushed the man away and ran, running desperately towards the crowded street.
The screams from behind did not stop yet, and the sturdy man in the lead suddenly pushed away his companions who came over to check on him.
"Chase me!"
He must tear that kid into pieces!
Each of these people was muscular and strong, and they ran very fast, but they were afraid of the "medicine" in Hua Yuanzhao's hand and did not dare to get too close.
The group was rushing along the way, but suddenly they heard Fuling's panicked cry.
"Miss, be careful!"
The sound of hurried horse hooves approached along with her voice. The next moment, Hua Yuanzhao felt something grabbing his shoulder and he leaned back unconsciously.
The carriage wall almost brushed against her nose. The driver stopped the horse and jumped down in a panic and asked, "Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Are you looking for death by standing in the middle of the road?
Hua Yuanzhao's ears were empty. It took him a while to react and he shook his head at the driver.
"fine."
As they were talking, the strong man had caught up with them. Seeing this, Fuling sent the driver away with a few words to avoid harming innocent people.
Hua Yuanzhao tilted his head stiffly, saw the person who pulled him away from the carriage, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
Rong Xiu slowly withdrew his hand. Behind him stood a group of soldiers watching the fun.
"you……"
"Don't let her run away!" the strong man shouted.
Rong Xiu's eyes shone, and he turned his head to glance at the group of fierce-looking men. The soldiers were smart, and without waiting for Rong Xiu's orders, they rushed forward and shouted fiercely: "How dare you commit violence in front of the Jinwu Guards? Who gave you the courage!"
If the background is not strong, they will take care of this matter!
"Second Prince, do something! Get out of here!"
The sturdy man raised his face and pushed him impatiently.
What happened to the Jinwu Guards? What's so great about that?
Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked in a drawn-out tone, "Second Prince?"
Shihu understood what the voice meant and knew that his dishonest little ancestor was going to cheat others again.
He stood up and shouted at the group of people: "You dare to commit murder in broad daylight. Is there any law?"
Seeing that the soldier didn't dare to fight back after being pushed, the sturdy man became more and more arrogant.
"The king's law? The Second Prince is the king's law!"
Rong Xiu hammered his hand and pretended to be enlightened: "So the Second Prince is the law!"
"Get lost if you know!"
The sturdy man's patience had been exhausted, and he swung his fists to deal with the soldiers who were blocking his way.
Rong Xiu smiled maliciously and raised his voice, "The emperor is still alive, but the Second Prince can't wait to claim to be the king. I have to ask him when he plans to ascend the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present shuddered.
Shihu covered his face in pain. Only this little ancestor would dare to say such impudent words!
The sturdy man's face suddenly changed: "How dare you talk nonsense——"
"This is the one from the Rong family..." Someone behind him recognized Rong Xiu and pulled the strong man's clothes to warn him in a low voice.
Rong Xiu tilted his head, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at the group of people with cold eyes.
"Or I can go and ask the Emperor when he plans to abdicate to the Second Prince?"
"Little Ancestor..." Shihu muttered softly, "Let's take it easy!"
How dare you say such nonsense?
The strong man turned pale with fear. If such words were to get out, His Highness would definitely not forgive them.
But the one who said this was this devil, and they couldn't make him shut up.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, actually we are just..." The sturdy man said embarrassedly, completely losing his previous arrogance.
"If you hinder the patrol of Jinwu Guards, beat them!" Rong Xiu waved his hand and gave the order arrogantly.
These guys will be released on bail if we catch them, so we might as well have a good fight now!
The strong men didn't dare to fight back. They curled up on the ground with their heads in their hands, allowing others to punch and kick them.
Hua Yuanzhao couldn't bear to watch, so he turned to look at Rong Xiu and asked softly, "Why is General Rong here?"
"It's all your fault!" Shihu couldn't help but retort.
If it weren't for this woman, how could the young master have robbed the execution ground? And how could he have been demoted to become a small chief officer of the Jinwu Guard?
"Shihu!" Rong Xiu glared at him, then touched his nose and said nonchalantly, "I am no longer a major general. Don't call me major general. Call me young master, please."
Hua Yuanzhao gritted her teeth secretly, thinking back to the time when this guy had tormented her at the Spring Banquet.
Rong Xiu, who didn't hear a reply, was not in a hurry. He looked around and said, "I just want to skip work today. Let's go to the teahouse and sit down?"
"Little Ancestor!" Shihu was anxious. Today was the first day of reporting to the Jinwu Guard! How could he skip work when he was on duty?
"No!" Fuling was more anxious than him. She didn't care about the rules anymore and quickly stood in front of Hua Yuanzhao, looking at him vigilantly.
"Thank you for your help today, Master Rong, but my lady has something else to do, so please do as you please!"
Hua Yuanzhao patted Fuling's shoulder with amusement, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.
"Okay, where do you want to go, Mr. Rong?"
Apart from anything else, she has yet to express her sincere gratitude to this person even though he has helped her several times!
Besides, she is no longer her original self and cannot bear his deep affection. This matter needs to be made clear.
