Chapter 175
“Murder!” Many commoners in the crowd looked at the man in the official uniform in terror.
Praise flashed in the depths of Shang Wuxin’s eyes. Doing such a thing was also known to him as the best at Illusory Dream Che. If it was Leng Yufeng who did it, it probably wouldn’t have such an effect. On the way from the imperial court, Shang had planned everything out. This official was also a follower of the Duke of Qing. Shang had wanted to take care of him long ago, now it was best to borrow a knife to kill someone. More importantly, Shang didn’t have the heart to bear with Qing Kui killing Qing Mu Yuan for a long time. Now that Qing Kui had come to Shang Guoxian, he had no intention of letting Qing Kui go back.
Qing Kui looked at the blood on the sword in his hand. He didn’t understand how the situation had turned out like this. However, before Qing Kui could say anything, his abdomen was struck by a sword. That sword did not stab Qing Kui’s vitals, but it caused Qing Kui to bend over in pain.
Qing Kui, who was stabbed, gasped in shock. Shang Wuxin was holding Leng Yufeng’s sword in his hand, dragging it on the ground. With every step he took, he let out an ear-piercing screech. Shang Wuxin, who was supposed to pick up his sword, dragged his blood-stained sword close to Qing Kui. A terrifying killing intent shot out from his eyes, Shang Wuxin’s lips still contained a chilling sneer.
The officials of Shang Country who wanted to stop him were all stopped by Leng Yufeng, and when the imperial bodyguards of Qing Kui saw that Prince Shang was obviously not normal, they immediately raised their swords to resist. At this moment, Shang’s sword was firmly held in his hand, and a line of blood flowed through the neck of the imperial bodyguard.
By the time Shang Bin arrived in front of Qing Kui, all the Imperial bodyguards had already fallen to the ground, blood trickling from their necks. The smile on the corner of Shang Wuxin’s mouth remained unchanged, even his eyes were brimming with a sinister smile.
“What do you want to do?” Qing Kui held onto his wound and retreated continuously. This kind of Prince Shang made Qing Kui scared. At this moment, Qing Kui understood that Prince Shang’s cold smile was only a disguise. The real Prince Shang was her.
Instead of answering, Shang leaned closer and closer to Qing Kui. Qing Kui’s teeth chattered and even his legs started to tremble, “I… I am the crown prince of Qing, you can’t hurt me! If you do anything to me, royal father will not let you go! ”
“Puchi!” The sword pierced into Qing Kui’s shoulder. It was just the same, it was not fatal, but the pain was unbearable.
“Shang Wuxin, are you crazy?” Qing Kui shouted in fear, “Why haven’t you stopped her? Do you really want the two countries to start a war?”
“Puchi!” The sound of a sword slicing through flesh and blood made Shang Wuxin’s smile grow bigger and bigger, with a hint of excitement on his face.
Qing Kui saw that the citizens of Shang were just standing there. Although they were afraid, no one criticized Shang’s unintentional actions. However, the officials of Shang Guan were just standing there. The guards they brought with them were all dead.
“Let me go! Can you let me go? Prince Shang, what do you want? ” Qing Kui’s voice was already begging for mercy.
“Puchi!” There was even a hint of happiness in Shang’s voice, “Let you go? Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder if Woodland will laugh upon hearing this? Ah, Crown Prince Qing seems to have forgotten about Qing Mu Yuan. “But, it’s such a pity that he died!”
“Madman!” Qing Kui saw this and thought to himself, “Qing Mu Garden is just an unfavoured princess. If Prince Shang likes a woman who is inferior to the beautiful ones I sent to you, I’m sure …”
“Puchi!” Shang Wuxin was now standing very close to Qing Kui. However, he did not pull out his sword this time. Instead, he swung it around. Qing Kui screamed in pain, and many people covered their eyes in fear.
“I originally wanted you to die here today, but now I’ve found a better way to play!” “I hope Crown Prince Qing likes my way of doing things!”
Looking at the Qing Kui who was in so much pain that he could not even speak, Shang Wuxin pulled out his long sword and took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean. Then, he turned around and went to Leng Yufeng’s side and wrapped the flexible sword around his waist.
With so many officials looking at Leng Yufeng, even though they did their best to control their emotions, their faces were still completely red. Huan Mo Che looked at Leng Yu Feng’s waist and suddenly felt that this flexible sword was an eyesore.
“Someone, come!” Shang Tong held his hands behind his back as he looked at Qing Kui, who was sitting on the ground in agony. Every strike of hers was aimed at the most painful part of his body, but it was not fatal.
“Crown Prince!” Dauntless brought a few bodyguards and saluted. Ordinary people would think that these were the ordinary guards of the crown prince’s residence but no one knew that the bodyguards of Shang Wuxin were all from the Blood Shang Army.
“Hang Crown Prince Qing on the city wall and whip him twenty times a day!” Shang unintentionally’s voice carried with it a great deal of inner energy, “Anyone who dares to offend the Shang Country will not be forgiven!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fearless pressed Qing Kui’s dumb acupoint and had him hung on a rope above the city wall. This not only hurt Qing Kui but also slapped him hard in the face. The country’s crown prince treated him in such a way and Qing Kui became a joke in people’s mouths.
“Crown Prince, you are doing this inappropriately. Don’t you think that the Crown Prince is doing this for the sake of Shang?” Qi Hou could not stay any longer. It was not easy to get hold of Prince Shang now. How could he bear to kidnap the crown prince of another country in private?
Shang was not in the mood to raise his hand to stop the words of the Qi Hou. “Watching the officials of Shang State being killed, the Qi Hou remained indifferent.” But now, you are pitying a murderer from another country. I really wonder if the Qi Hou is from Shang or Qing! ”
Shang’s unintentional words made the citizens want to throw their eggs at the Qi Hou. After all, who didn’t like to be a traitor!
“Crown Prince, you don’t know, but I’m afraid that this Qi Hou is from Qing?” Everyone looked at the woman in red robes whose hair was casually spread out. They could tell that this person was most likely the sole mistress of the crown prince’s residence. They then looked at the Minister of the Left, and intuitively, they began to wonder which one of the two was the crown prince’s favorite.
Han Xuanhao shyly moved to Shang Wuxin’s side and pushed Leng Yufeng away. Leng Yufeng clenched his fists and resisted the urge to attack. As far as Leng Yufeng was concerned, this Han Xuanhao was a spoiled child. Of course, Leng Yufeng had no choice but to admit that he was jealous.
Leng Yufeng’s cold voice was ignored by Han Xuanhao as he came to Shang Wuxin’s side. Han Xuanhao then grabbed Shang Wuxin’s arm, and whispered into his ear, “Xin`er, let me give you a big present, okay?”
Shang’s interest was piqued. He looked at the Qi Hou and said, “This man has annoyed me so much. I hope your big gift will not disappoint me!” Shang Tong caressed Han Xuanhao’s face under his veil and said, “If you do well, why don’t you sleep tonight?”
Han Xuanhao was excited. He thought that he shouldn’t eat meat because he had to stay by Shang unintentionally’s side. Otherwise, if Shang unintentionally had anyone by his side, his position would not be stable. Therefore, Han Xuanhao was planning for his future status.
Han Xuanhao signaled the man in the shadows with his eyes, and before Qi Hou could react, he saw Wu Dai lead a group of guards to Shang Wuxin’s side. “Prince, the Qi Hou residence has found and sent a letter to Prince Qing!”
These words gave rise to a thousand ripples, and after hearing them, everyone firmly believed that Qi Hou was indeed a traitor. At this moment, there were already angry citizens throwing things at Qi Hou, and curses were going to come out from them from time to time. However, none of the officials explained anything to him.
“No, this marquis is not!” He was very clear that although he was not a part of the crown prince’s faction, he had never betrayed the country. Qi Hou instantly understood that this was the crown prince’s scheme, and since the crown prince dared to plot like this, it meant that he was prepared for it.
“You have obtained the token?” Shang Tong asked in a low voice. He would definitely not dare to do so if he did not obtain the military talisman.
“Of course, but the marquis’ wife is indeed intelligent. I thought she would need a few days to obtain the token, but I didn’t expect that she would do it so quickly!”
“Seize him!” Shang unintentionally ordered.
Leng Yufeng immediately brought people to capture Qi Hou, and although Qi Hou had been arguing, he did not fight back. Qi Hou knew very well that he still had fifty thousand soldiers and horses, the war between Shang and Qing was his life saving treasure, and as long as he did not die, he could avenge himself.
As Qi Hou passed by Shang Wuxin, he fearlessly asked, “Did the crown prince frame me?” At this point, Qi Hou knew that there was nothing left to hide. Besides, he and the crown prince were not on the same boat, so it didn’t matter if they had a falling out or not.
“Oh?” I am framing you, so what? ” Shang did not deny it. Shang Wuxin was not a good person but a vile person. If Qi Hou did not provoke her, she would not be in the right mood to wait. However, if Qi Hou blocked her path, then Shang Wuxin could even do whatever it took to frame her.
“Go back!” As for Qing Kui, who was hung on the city wall, he was not even interested to take a glance at him.
Shang didn’t have the heart to do so much today to come up with an excellent excuse. After all, every country was very balanced today. If the State of Shang were to break this balance, it would bring about a lot of trouble, thus Shang didn’t have the heart to come up with the best excuse today.
Everyone watched as the crown prince led the Minister of the Left, General Leng and a woman in red away. They were all envious of the crown prince’s luck with women. There were also many people who claimed that the crown prince was afraid that both men and women would eat the same thing. This made Shang’s heart feel like it was about to break out in all sorts of rotten peach blossoms!
