Chapter 1167: A hasty ending, a panic
The scattered crowd of onlookers heard the noises, big and small, and stopped trying to escape. They stayed where they were and watched this astonishing scene.
The man in black robe flicked his sleeves and slowly withdrew the hand that had just knocked down several masters.
In the sunlight, the python pattern embroidered with gold thread on the ink-black sleeves sparkled, looking both luxurious and majestic.
Without saying a word, he turned around, took the hand of the woman in white, and left calmly.
The scene was in chaos. People realized that they had seen the prince make a fool of himself, and they immediately ran away.
Ling Chiye went over to help King Di up. The other party was already unconscious, but he still tried hard to wave his hands and then spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"I will never let that man go!" With a pair of eyes stained with blood on his forehead, he half-sat on the ground with his hands, looking at the backs of the couple as they left from afar.
At this moment, King Di was somewhat dazed. He seemed to realize something after not returning to the capital for a long time...
Why did he feel that the man's back looked a little familiar?
This thought was fleeting, as King Di quickly fell into a coma due to his serious injuries.
Ling Chiye frowned slightly. He didn't expect to encounter such an accident when he came to the garden today.
At that time, Ling Xingmu, who had been hiding in the distance watching the show, patted his buttocks and hurried over with his two guards. When King Di wanted to entangle Yun Mujiu just now, he had seen it a long time ago, and naturally recognized the identities of Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.
The reason why he didn't step forward and stand with King Di was because he knew that with how much King Ye cared about Yun Mujiu, he would definitely beat King Di to a pulp!
Hehe, he is watching the show in the dark, it’s really interesting!
When Ling Xingmu curled his lips and snickered, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He raised his head abruptly and met Ling Chiye's deep and thoughtful eyes.
His frivolous smile immediately disappeared, leaving behind a moment of embarrassment.
...
That night, in the flower hall of Prince Ye's mansion, Butler Zeng had already led people to prepare dinner early.
There are cranes flying in the clouds and Ganoderma lucidum in the four corners of the flower hall, and the candles with eight treasures patterns are burning brightly. In addition to the various reflections of dim candlelight around, there is also soft light pouring down from the top.
There are several tall shelves around the mahogany round table in the center of the flower hall, on which are hung several jade and purple bamboo lamps.
For a moment, Yun Mujiu felt as if he was having a candlelight dinner tonight. The day he spent with Ye Xiaohan felt like a perfect date from morning to night.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao was so brave. She beat the Third Prince well."
Ye Xiaohan turned his head away for a moment. "Next time you go out, make sure to leave someone by your side."
Yun Mujiu agreed at first, after all, she didn't want to make Ye Xiaohan worry. Then, she explained, "Don't worry, it's okay. Even if I can't beat others openly, I also have hidden weapons."
Ye Xiaohan continued, “I’m afraid I’ll have to prepare more hidden weapons for the princess in the future.”
Yun Mujiu blinked, "Not really. It doesn't matter if there are too many hidden weapons, as long as there are enough." He smiled at the other party and said coquettishly, "Besides, with the prince by my side, I don't need to prepare, I can just win without doing anything."
As he was talking, he realized that he always blurted out modern words subconsciously, and then explained: "'Lying down to win' means that with a powerful master like the prince by my side to protect me, I can win the situation safely even if I lie down."
Ye Xiaohan's eyes moved, and he stretched out his fingertips and lightly touched Yun Mujiu's forehead.
"Have a meal."
"Yes." Yun Mujiu understood the message conveyed in Ye Xiaohan's eyes: "You are the one who talks too much."
Yun Mujiu ate quietly, knowing in her heart that Ye Xiaohan's attack on King Di was entirely out of the purpose of protecting her and venting her anger.
After they left the garden today, King Di returned to his mansion and mobilized his men to quietly search for the man who attacked him. He did not dare to make a big scene, fearing that others would hear about the shameful act of a group of warriors being beaten unilaterally by a man.
As Yun Mujiu was eating, he brought the steamed crab soup in front of him to Ye Xiaohan. This was Ye Xiaohan's favorite food.
"Your Highness, don't worry about me. Actually, I always have something in mind when I go out." His tone changed and he said lively, "In fact, at that time, I was also planning to attack the Third Prince. But Your Highness happened to come, so I stopped."
"What is the princess's plan?" Ye Xiaohan chatted with Yun Mujiu, without his usual cold look in his eyes.
"Acupuncture." Yun Mujiu raised his two claws and made a motion of twisting a needle. He said in a calm voice, "Let the Third Prince be like the Crown Prince. Either he will be impotent, or his body will be completely crippled, or both."
Ye Xiaohan twitched his lips slightly. His princess's methods...
It’s really “special”!
"Xiao Xiao, I'm a little curious. If the Third Prince finds out that you hit him, what will his reaction be?"
...
Until the next morning, King Di's guards were still wandering the streets, trying to find the fairy doctor and the mysterious man with powerful martial arts skills that King Di wanted to find.
Unfortunately, they got nothing.
As Prince Di was quietly looking for his "enemy", countless factions in the capital were also secretly stirring.
The various events concerning the Jianghu demon, Netherworld Nine, have finally come to an end.
Of course, it was not the people of the Haolian Di faction who had the upper hand in this closing phase. It was true that they were good at closing related events, but they were forced to do so, and they were completely at a disadvantage.
According to folk legend, the case of the headless corpse at the city gate also came to an end under the trial of Jingzhao Yin Zhongquan.
Why didn't the emperor's man, the Dali Temple Minister Liu Wuzheng, take over the case? Because Liu Wuzheng had been beaten severely, and was frightened by the corpse and blood letter in the Dali Temple.
Liu Wu was ill in bed, and the newly appointed Dali Temple Shaoqing Xu Zheng did not take over the case. Emperor Haolian was in a difficult situation due to his illness, and he knew that he could not control Ye Xiaohan and Youming Jiuchong, so he had no intention of letting the officials in the court take any counterattack.
As a result, the cases of the headless corpse at the city gate, the beheading of various factions, the accident of the Dali Temple personnel, and the corpse appearing in the front yard were all thrown to Zongquan, who had always held a "middle-of-the-road" stance, to handle.
What else could Zongquan do? He could only end the matter hastily.
It was announced to the outside world that those incidents were committed by a group of small bandits and had nothing to do with Lord Nether and His Majesty the Night King.
However, the bandits in the counties near the capital had long been dealt with by the Night King, so where could there still be bandits?
For this reason, most people naturally did not believe it, but no one said much, except that the rumors of private discussion became more intense.
Haoliandi and his cronies lost their reputation and support, and Biluo and some factions also completely lost their fire, lost face, and were ridiculed by everyone. They could no longer be as proud as before. Their backbone had been crushed into ashes.
Those organizations and factions that had been suppressed by Ye Xiaohan and Youming Jiuchong were severely damaged and would not be able to raise their heads in a short time. They could only tuck their tails between their legs and hide in shame.
In short, Haolian Di and his men suffered heavy losses and also lost the most important reputation, face and power.
For a while, the objects of everyone's worship, praise and respect were still Ye Xiaohan and Youming Jiuchong, who had been the most talked about person in the capital for a long time...
