Chapter 1271 1264: Second Prince
Chapter 1271 1264: Second Prince
He Zhong came all this way, to such a remote little town, thinking that when this town's lord saw him, he would be terrified for sure, after all, these small town lords rarely encounter the chief steward beside the King of Great Xia.
Unexpectedly, the town's lord acted daringly, even showing him murderous intent, and He Zhong himself was frightened by a mere glance.
After he became impotent, He Zhong cared a lot about saving face.
As a personal eunuch beside the King of Great Xia, he looked at others with a hint of arrogance, basically to conceal his inner inferiority.
Now the situation is simply disgraceful to him.
Such disgrace!
"Commander Gu, why aren't you taking action yet!"
He Zhong's pale eyes were filled with fury and undeniable anger, staring at Gu Yunxiao, he shouted sharply.
"Yes."
Upon hearing, Gu Yunxiao nodded, looking at Qin Yang and the others; in the current situation, it's as if an arrow is on the bowstring, ready to be shot.
"Starting a war?!"
Below, tens of thousands of cultivators in Wind Ridge Town felt an undeniable shock, their eyes collectively looked up at the scene in the sky.
"Golden lion armored soldiers, listen to the order!"
Swish!
Gu Yunxiao drew the large golden treasure sword from his hand, its glow shined brightly.
Boom boom boom!
The aura of a hundred golden lion armored soldiers exploded, with golden light erupting from the long guns in their hands.
The dazzling golden light instantly covered half of the sky.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yang's eyes also flashed with cold gleam.
"Attack...!"
Gu Yunxiao said as he was about to drop the golden treasure sword.
At this moment, from the silver beast vehicle driven by four silver lions that had been motionless, suddenly came a young yet authoritative voice.
"Stop!!!"
Upon hearing the voice from the silver beast vehicle, Gu Yunxiao's raised large golden treasure sword paused in mid-air.
Swish!
From the silver beast vehicle, the luxurious silver tassels swayed, the curtain was opened, two figures emerged, and then, stepping into the void, stood before everyone.
Among those two figures.
The leading youth, wearing a silver robe with gold-edged patterns embroidered upon it.
On the center of the silver robe was a light gold lion head, with a white jade waistband around his waist, from which hung a jade pendant glowing with a green shimmer.
Even though the youth wasn't particularly handsome, he carried a natural air of nobility.
A step behind the youth was an old man in a red robe, the old man was youthful despite his white hair, with a calm gaze that exuded a subtle powerful Fire Spirit Power.
"Second Prince?"
Upon seeing the gold-patterned silver-robed youth, He Zhong's thin eyebrows raised.
The silver-robed youth ignored He Zhong, instead looking at Qin Yang and others, his eyes also showed some fluctuation; firstly, he cupped his hands slightly towards Qin Yang and the others, then turned to He Zhong.
"Chief Steward He, Father sent the golden chariot for him, I think Father means to invite Lord Qin Yang respectfully, and now you order his capture, what is the meaning of this?"
Although the silver-robed youth's tone was calm, it contained a hint of authority and prestige.
Upon hearing the Second Prince's words, He Zhong's expression turned somewhat unsightly.
As the chief steward of the royal palace, a personal attendant beside the King of Great Xia, his status was indeed high, ministers, and those marquis city lords had to show respect upon seeing him, yet, the youth before him was a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, his status unmatchable.
However, with intense competition in the royal capital, compared to the more cunning and capable eldest prince, He Zhong leaned towards the eldest prince.
Thus, He Zhong was closer to the eldest prince secretly, though the second prince held a noble status, he wasn't someone He Zhong feared greatly.
"Second Prince, it's not about what I intend, it's just that this person disrespects the royal decree, shows arrogance towards the King's orders, so I had to order Commander Gu to detain him."
He Zhong said with a slightly heavy expression.
Though his words didn't show submission, his tone was obviously less sharp compared to when he spoke to Qin Yang and others, facing the silver-robed youth.
"Chief Steward He, with Master Qin Yang's status, he doesn't need to kneel even in front of Father's orders, just announce the decree directly."
The silver-robed youth glanced at He Zhong and said.
"Second Prince, this... doesn't seem right, for a royal decree, even marquises have to kneel to receive it, how can a mere lord not kneel."
He Zhong's thin eyebrows furrowed.
"As for what the Second Prince said about his status, hehe, the man is quite young, it's rumored he is some Fourth Grade high-level Alchemy Master, this old servant doesn't believe it."
"If he were truly a Fourth Grade Alchemy Master, how could he be a lord in this small town, if he wanted to be a city lord in any major dynasty's cities, all the kings would happily agree."
Upon hearing this, the silver-robed youth fell into silent consideration, this Wind Ridge Town is quite far from the royal capital, and hearing reports of a remarkably young Fourth Grade high-level Alchemy Master, many in the royal capital remained skeptical.
Though the silver-robed youth harbored considerable doubt, he still came all this way to get acquainted with the Fourth Grade Alchemy Master in advance.
However, the lord of Wind Ridge Town is indeed very young, could he really be the one who triggered the Pill Thunder, the Fourth Grade Alchemy Master?
"Moreover, Second Prince, this small Wind Ridge Town crowd dared to be so reckless before the golden lion armored soldiers, refused capture and resisted, this is simply disregarding our King, hence the old servant ordered their capture."
He Zhong stared at Qin Yang and the others, with a hint of sharpness in his voice, echoing above Wind Ridge Town.
Seeing the silver-robed youth's silence, He Zhong's lips curled into a cold smile, then, his pale eyes turned to Gu Yunxiao.
"Commander Gu, why haven't you captured these people as per my order!"
He Zhong said harshly.
Upon hearing, Gu Yunxiao took a deep breath, ready to give the order.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, the silver-robed youth glanced in Qin Yang's direction, as if he had made a decision, a gleam flashed briefly in his eyes.
Indeed, the lord of Wind Ridge Town is so young, however, now is not the time for him to hesitate, he came all this way to Wind Ridge Town to establish connections with the Fourth Grade high-level Alchemy Master.
If he allowed a conflict with He Zhong now, it would be difficult to regain favor should it be confirmed that he is a Fourth Grade high-level Alchemy Master later.
Upon hearing the silver-robed youth's words, Gu Yunxiao's actions came to a halt.
"Commander Gu, show respect towards Master Qin Yang, and have your men step back."
As a prince, the silver-robed youth was apparently quite decisive, with a tone that carried a hint of authority, he spoke.
"Understood, Second Prince His Highness."
Gu Yunxiao immediately bowed and responded.
Compared to He Zhong, the words of the Second Prince obviously held more authority, thus, Gu Yunxiao ordered the golden lion armored soldiers to retreat.
