2074 Sudden Attack
"Mu Rouke, what are you doing?" The Vassal Prince of Jianping glared at Mu Rouke, his eyes practically shooting out a tangible killing intent.
This woman actually dared defy his intent in public. He was the august Vassal Prince of Jianping. How could she, as a daughter of a small patrician family, casually defy him, who was of such noble status?
How truly disgraceful!
The Vassal Prince of Jianping glared coldly at Mu Rouke. "You had best give me an acceptable reason! Otherwise…"
Mu Rouke quickly walked up and whispered into the Vassal Prince of Jianping's ear.
Mu Rouke's expression shifted, and he looked up at Qiao Mu and Mo Lian. He turned to look at Mu Rouke again and asked in a low voice, "Is that true?"
The Vassal Prince of Jianping was a prodigal with neither learning nor skill. He was used to indulging in drink and play since young and had never paid attention to the empire's political affairs. He knew even less about the Divine Province crown prince whom he had never seen before.
He was not someone who knew to hide his thoughts, so all his emotions were expressed openly on his face.
Mu Rouke's words indeed surprised him greatly.
However—
"It is absolutely true!" Mu Rouke asserted with a nod, "Everything Ke'er says is true! There is no falsehood at all. This is what Ke'er saw personally. Vassal Prince, if you become enemies with His Highness, what will happen to you once you go back to the Divine Province?"
The Vassal Prince of Jianping was silent for a moment before he looked at Mo Lian coldly.
"Ha."
His Highness?
It was still unknown whether he had the life to make it back to the Divine Province, and whether he would be able to firmly occupy the position of crown prince once he was back in the Divine Province.
Who didn't know that the crown prince of the Divine Province had been living in other lands for many years? He knew very little about the current state of affairs and the political powers in the Divine Province!
Would he be able to grasp the core and command the power and influence of the Divine Province when he went back?
Would he truly be able to occupy the position of the Divine Province crown prince?
Who knew!
He dared to be so arrogant and despotic even before going back to the Divine Province. If he truly allowed this person to firmly occupy the position of crown prince, would he, Mo Kun, still be able to enjoy the good days anymore?
The Vassal Prince of Jianping's gaze flickered, and he told Mu Rouke sternly, "Rouke, you must not speak senselessly. How could my crown prince cousin appear in this kind of d*rned place?"
Seeing that Mu Rouke wanted to say something else, the Vassal Prince of Jianping raised his hand to stop her. "This vassal prince only knows that the crown prince of the Divine Province has been living in other lands for many years. It still remains to be verified whether he is the crown prince. Alright, you don't need to say any more, this vassal prince knows what to do."
You wanted him to acknowledge their identities after they beat him up so arrogantly?
Humph! Simply a pipe dream.
The Vassal Prince of Jianping's expression turned sullen, and he abruptly raised his hand, "What are you still waiting for, you guys…"
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Swoosh!* Arrows suddenly shot in haphazardly from outside the courtyard, aimed straight for the Shuntian Prefecture's prefecture lord couple.
The two people got up at the same time. Madam Geng, née Feng, pushed down lightly on the short table in front of her, and then she flew up into the air while parrying around 17 or 18 iron arrows with a flick of her sleeve.
A series of clings and clangs could be heard in the lobby, and several dozen iron arrows dropped to the ground.
The other people's expressions also faltered as they blocked the iron arrows that flew toward them. Some guards standing at the entrance ended up being cannon fodder and died a violent death after this round of attacks.
Crown Prince Mo had long scooped Qiao Mu up in his arms with a spin.
He swept his palm lightly, and the arrows that were originally flying toward them abruptly stopped in the air.
They dropped to the ground after halting in the air for less than a second and soon crumbled to dust and scattered.
