Those were naturally not kind words, and Ye Lingxiao knew in his heart that they were all misunderstandings about Li Chang'an.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even angrier, because the one who started all of this was that scoundrel surnamed Feng!
Ye Lingxiao felt he had to stop things from getting any worse.
At the same time, Li Chang'an was pressing forward step by step, and Feng Beichuan was retreating step by step, and it seemed that he was about to have nowhere to hide.
Suzaku, who had been observing everything from the shadows, was ready to strike at any moment.
As personal bodyguards, Cangyun and Zhuque's duty is to protect their master's safety at all times and in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to act. Unless they are assigned other missions, they will follow Feng Beichuan wherever he is.
This time, however, Cangyun ran away first because he simply couldn't bear to look at his master's shameless and scoundrel-like appearance. He figured the worst that would happen was a beating from Li Chang'an, and there was no need to stay and watch his master's ugliness. Otherwise, he would have to ask himself countless times why he had chosen such a bizarre master.
However, Zhuque was always a very serious and rigid person, even to the point of being somewhat rule-abiding. Although she also felt disgusted by Feng Beichuan's behavior, she still stood guard in the shadows with a cold expression.
"Stop, stop, stop! We agreed not to hit someone in the face!"
Feng Beichuan was raising his hand to cover his face and dodging to the side. Even though he was already so busy taking care of himself, he still couldn't forget to use his sharp tongue.
Unfortunately, it's too late for him to say anything now. Li Chang'an just keeps attacking, with palm strikes, fists, elbow strikes, flying kicks, and foot kicks, each move deadly and swift.
Feng Beichuan's dodging movements were also incredibly ugly, a far cry from his usual arrogant demeanor in front of others; it was almost unbearable to watch.
"Ouch..."
Before he knew it, Li Chang'an had kicked Feng Beichuan in the shin. A footprint immediately appeared on his light-colored brocade robe, and Feng Beichuan couldn't help but cry out in pain. It wasn't that the kick was particularly powerful; he had taken blows with much stronger force before. It was just that Li Chang'an's kick had accidentally knocked off an acupoint on his leg. The tingling, numb, and throbbing pain felt like an electric shock, and he couldn't bear it even if he wanted to.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Feng Beichuan was caught off guard and Li Chang'an immediately pressed his advantage, aiming to chop him with a hand strike.
"etc!"
In the blink of an eye, just as Li Chang'an's chop was about to strike Feng Beichuan's neck, and Zhuque's hidden weapon was about to fly towards her, Ye Lingxiao suddenly stepped forward and stopped them.
"You're going to plead for him?"
Li Chang'an's tone was clearly displeased. She raised an eyebrow and asked in return, her sharp gaze shooting towards Ye Lingxiao.
"I do not need your pleading!"
Before Ye Lingxiao could answer, Feng Beichuan spoke first.
Ye Lingxiao's face turned ashen in an instant; he wasn't trying to plead for this guy!
Feng Beichuan's actions made Li Chang'an feel both angry and amused, and even Zhuque, who had been hiding in the shadows with a cold face, was petrified on the spot.
My master is truly an absolute oddball!
可是凤北川却不以为意，他觉得不管是作为男人的尊严还是出于对自己这个情敌的鄙视，他宁愿被李常安揍死也绝对不会接受夜凌霄的帮助。
"Chang'an, don't let anger cloud your judgment. Please listen to me this once."
Ye Lingxiao still held Li Chang'an's wrist tightly, his eyes full of earnestness.
Because she had been busy dealing with Feng Beichuan, Li Chang'an was unaware that she had become the subject of gossip among the people of Shengnan, a fearsome witch.
However, looking at Ye Lingxiao's earnest expression, Li Chang'an felt that he might have been too impulsive. Although he was very unhappy, he still put his hand down with a sullen face.
"Fine, get out of here!"
Li Chang'an said coldly, not wanting to look at that damned face any longer.
As for Ye Lingxiao, Li Chang'an didn't want to talk to him anymore. The joy they had felt when they met had long since vanished because of this farce.
"drive!"
Li Chang'an mounted his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's terrifying! Did you see the look in her eyes just now? It was like she wanted to eat someone alive!"
"Not only that, look at the Regent, he's been beaten so badly, his mouth is even blue, sigh!"
"This kind of person doesn't resemble a princess at all; she's clearly a shrew!"
...
Once one of the parties involved left, the onlookers began to talk about it without any restraint, their words becoming increasingly harsh, regardless of the fact that the other two parties involved were still listening nearby.
"Shut up, all of you! Slandering the royal family is a capital offense!"
Ye Lingxiao, his face ashen, rebuked the crowd, startling them into silence.
Realizing something was wrong, Feng Beichuan didn't have time to worry about his disheveled appearance. He looked around, pointed at a man who looked like a waiter, and said coldly, "You tell me, who is spreading rumors?"
At this moment, Feng Beichuan once again became the awe-inspiring regent who commanded the submission of all.
The guy who was called out for questioning was startled and quickly waved his hand, saying he didn't know either.
"Have you thought it through? Do you need me to help you remember?"
Feng Beichuan's tone was full of threat.
Upon hearing this, the waiter turned pale and looked around before realizing that all those people who had been watching the commotion had disappeared without him noticing.
Then he felt his collar tighten and a chill emanated from behind him. When the waiter turned around, he almost fainted. He didn't know how he had been grabbed by a woman dressed in red with an icy expression.
Under immense pressure, the man had no choice but to reveal everything he knew, piecemeal by piece.
Because of everyone's speculation and misinformation, no one can remember exactly when these absurd rumors first appeared. However, according to the waiter, it probably started a few days after Deputy General Sun had a conflict with someone in the teahouse, and now these stories are being told by storytellers.
Feng Beichuan suddenly remembered the incident where Cang Yun smashed the stage with him.
Could it be that old dog Bai Yuanshan is resorting to his old tricks again?
"Investigate!"
After letting the guy go, Feng Beichuan slammed his hand on the table with a dark face and said to Cangyun and Zhuque beside him.
Ye Lingxiao was not idle at this time either. After Feng Beichuan took the man away for questioning, he left. After thinking for a while, he decided to investigate. So he exchanged a lot of silver and copper coins to ask the beggars in this area.
Having received bribes, the beggars naturally spoke their minds freely, and some even believed that these rumors were not unfounded, and had quite a few opinions about Li Chang'an.
