Chapter 82 A Hero Saves a Beauty
"Who are you to meddle in my business?" Aguda looked at the newcomer with arrogance.
"No matter who I am, it is inappropriate for you to do this." Wei Rong forcefully pulled away Aguda's hand that was holding Ge'er, and pulled him behind him to protect him.
"I like him. Let him chat with me. If you don't want to die, get out of the way." Aguda was annoyed by Wei Rong's actions and was on the verge of getting angry.
"Do you really think the laws of the Wei Dynasty are dead?" Wei Rong said angrily.
"Isn't it? These past few days, I haven't seen anyone dare to cause trouble for me." Aguda said indifferently with his arms folded across his chest.
"Okay, wait, I'll go call someone over." Wei Rong was so angry that he laughed. He didn't believe that even if he called people from Kaifeng Prefecture, he could still be so arrogant.
"Xiao Shunzi, go and call the people from Kaifeng Prefecture over." Wei Rong turned and said to his personal eunuch.
After receiving the order, Xiao Shunzi left to call for help.
Aguda hesitated when he heard Wei Rong's words. Although the person in front of him was wearing brocade clothes, he looked very ordinary. If he really called people from Kaifeng Prefecture, he would be a little undecided for a while.
"Who are you?" Aguda asked with a stern face. Now more and more people were surrounding him, pointing at him. If he admitted defeat and left at this moment, the momentum of our tribe would be gone.
"I have nothing to say. You should apologize to this guy now, otherwise you will not be able to leave safely today." Wei Rong did not answer, but took a step aside, revealing the guy behind him.
The boy behind him stood beside Wei Rong. Although he was a little nervous, he still stood upright in front of Aguda. He couldn't bring shame to Wei Chao's boy.
"Tsk, you want me to apologize to a guy? Forget it. It's a blessing for him to serve me. Who knows, if I'm in a good mood, I might even let him be a concubine." Aguda was very complacent.
"Bah, who wants to be your concubine? It's just a pipe dream, disgusting." The brother replied angrily after hearing this.
As soon as the brother finished speaking, the people watching around him burst into laughter. Aguda's face turned red with anger. He felt insulted.
Wei Rong couldn't help laughing after hearing this, but as a prince, he still forced himself to hold it back. However, this guy is really cute.
"I'm taking you away today. Let's see who dares to stop me." Aguda was furious and stepped forward to grab the brother's wrist and take him away by force.
Wei Rong turned sideways and protected Ge'er behind him to prevent Aguda from getting close, while Ge'er also held Wei Rong's clothes tightly and hid behind Wei Rong.
"Go." Aguda ordered the two servants behind him.
Two servants stepped forward and tried to pull Wei Rong away, but Wei Rong raised his foot and kicked them. The two guards were caught off guard and fell backwards.
Seeing that the two guards were about to rush forward, Wei Rong protected his brother firmly behind him. He couldn't let this lovely boy be bullied by foreigners in front of him.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi came with the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, followed by a group of officers and soldiers, and the two guards stopped at the same time.
"Your humble servant greets the Tenth Prince." Wang Yang, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, stepped forward and bowed.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture drove away the people who were surrounding them.
"Lord Wang, you have arrived at the right time. This barbarian envoy attempted to bully an unmarried boy in public on the street but failed. According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, he should be beaten with twenty sticks." Wei Rong felt relieved when he saw the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture coming.
Wang Yang did not immediately order the two men to be taken away. Instead, he approached Wei Rong with some embarrassment and whispered, "Your Highness the Tenth Prince, it's not that I don't want to arrest them, but I'm really worried about affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I can't bear the responsibility."
"Since that fellow is alright, Your Highness should just pretend that this incident never happened."
Although Wang Yang's voice was low, Ge'er and Aguda, who were nearby, heard it clearly. Aguda looked at Wei Rong with great pride.
"Take him away immediately and give him twenty lashes of the cane. I will take responsibility if anything happens." Wei Rong clenched his fists in anger when he heard Wang Yang's words and said with gritted teeth.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry but I can't obey your command." Wang Yang replied calmly.
"It seems that you don't want to continue as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture." Wei Rong looked at Wang Yang with a sullen face.
"I was recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. As for whether I can continue to do this, please don't worry about it." Wang Yang didn't care. Anyway, the Tenth Prince had no power or influence. Even if the matter was brought to His Majesty, he could just say that he was afraid of affecting the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
"Okay, okay, you are really nice." Although Wei Rong wanted to stand up for his brother at this time, he had just entered the court and the power in his hands was still very limited. He really could not shake the prince's people. Wei Rong felt that he was too weak at this time, and he wanted to become stronger.
Just when Wei Rong was about to swallow his anger, Shengxia came over with people from the Ministry of Rites. Wei Rong breathed a sigh of relief and a smile returned to his face again, because he knew that the person who could uphold justice had come.
Sheng Xia pushed aside the blocking officers and soldiers and stepped forward. Seeing Wei Rong was also there, she bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to His Highness the Tenth Prince."
"General Sheng, you came at the right time. Just now, this Aguda bullied a good boy, and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture was unwilling to punish these foreigners. He also asked me to keep the peace. What do you think we should do?" Wei Rong briefly explained the whole story.
"Sir Wang, is this true?" Sheng Xia looked at Wang Yang with a serious face.
"General Sheng, I am afraid that this will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so I handled it this way. I believe General Sheng can understand." Wang Yang said flatteringly.
"Ridiculous." Shengxia was so angry that she kicked him.
"Come, take these three people to the military camp. They dared to bully the people of Wei Dynasty in our capital. According to the law, they will be taken back and beaten with twenty lashes." Shengxia will not tolerate them. The barbarians dared to be so arrogant after losing. He must dampen their fighting spirit.
"General Sheng, you'd better think about it carefully. If His Majesty blames me, I can't help you." Wang Yang stood up with difficulty, holding his stomach, and said threateningly.
"Don't worry about it, Lord Wang. You should worry about whether you can continue to stay in this position." Shengxia patted the dust off his body and said coldly.
The soldiers behind Shengxia immediately stepped forward and took the three men away. Aguda shouted, "Let me go! If you dare to attack me, I will report you to the emperor of my clan and charge you with disrupting diplomatic relations between our two countries."
"Shut his mouth, he's so noisy." Shengxia didn't want to listen to Aguda at all, and sent someone to shut his mouth in annoyance.
