Chapter 1783: Unrighteous

At the same time, Li Shiqing launched an attack on Zhao Qingxue. The soft sword in her hand moved like a snake, keeping Zhao Qingxue too busy to cope.

Zhao Qingxue had originally thought Li Shiqing was deliberately showing weakness to lure her in, so she held nothing back, unleashing her full strength to take down Li Shiqing in one blow. But as time passed, Li Shiqing actually grew stronger and stronger.

"What is going on? How has her cultivation increased so much?" Zhao Qingxue was shocked in her heart.

Although she found it hard to believe, Zhao Qingxue had to admit this was the truth.

Regardless of how Li Shiqing did it, the situation was now extremely unfavorable for her. Li Shiqing fought with increasing courage, and she gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Miss Zhao, continuing to fight like this will bring you no benefit," Li Shiqing said with a charming smile. "Why not let us stop and make peace?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Qingxue agreed to Li Shiqing's suggestion. Li Shiqing's strength was too great; she had no chance of winning.

Hearing that Zhao Qingxue was willing to stop, Li Shiqing immediately withdrew her attack.

"Miss Zhao, thank you for forgiving me," Li Shiqing said with deep remorse.

"This matter is not your fault; you were also deceived," Zhao Qingxue comforted her.

"Young Master Zhao, I am sorry!" Li Shiqing turned and bowed with clasped fists to Zhao Yunfei, who was lying on the ground.

Zhao Yunfei shook his head and said bitterly, "This has nothing to do with you. I lost; deal with me as you see fit."

"Zhao Yunfei, you do not seem like a coward," Zhao Qingxue mocked. She was very disappointed in Zhao Yunfei. She never expected a renowned general of his stature to have fallen to such a state, utterly shaming the men of the Han Kingdom.

"I am not worthy to be a renowned general of the Han Kingdom," Zhao Yunfei said gloomily.

"Then go die," Zhao Qingxue said coldly.

Zhao Yunfei closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

Just at this critical moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out.

Zhao Yunfei opened his eyes and saw a fine horse galloping rapidly toward them.

This scene made a flash of hope appear in Zhao Yunfei's eyes; he shouted, "Prince, save me!"

"Whoosh, whoosh..." Li Shiqing waved her soft sword to block the carriage, bringing it to a halt.

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Zhao Yunfei's expectant face.

A handsome young man rode out slowly on a black horse. He wore a black robe, his face was as smooth as jade, and a smile played on his lips. However, this smile was full of evil, making people feel eerie and strange.

"It's him!" Zhao Qingxue's eyes turned icy; she hated this little rascal to the core.

He was Zhao Yunfei's master, Zhao Hao.

Seeing Zhao Qingxue, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Haha... I didn't expect to meet you beauty here. You are truly stunning, not in the least inferior to Diao Chan, the first beauty of Luoyang."

Zhao Qingxue's face turned ashen; she gritted her teeth and said, "Zhao Hao, you are indeed a shameless villain."

"Haha... You are right; this Prince is indeed a villain. This Prince just likes to bully beauties. Especially beautiful beauties, this Prince loves to play with them. I wonder if Miss Zhao would be interested in keeping this Prince company for some fun?" Zhao Hao chuckled lewdly, then urged his horse forward a few steps.

A look of shame and anger flashed in Zhao Qingxue's eyes; she never expected this scoundrel to be so shameless. She said angrily, "Zhao Hao, my father is Your Majesty the Han Emperor. If you dare touch me, Your Majesty will surely not spare you."

"The Han Emperor? Hehe, this Prince does not even care about him. As for your father, there is even less need to worry. When he returns to Luoyang, we will deal with you then," Zhao Hao sneered.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Li Shiqing was instantly terrified, her face losing all color. She hurriedly said, "Zhao Hao, we are here to take revenge on you, not to beg you. Get lost immediately, or do not blame me for being unkind."

"Miss Li, you misunderstand. This Prince has no intention of hindering your revenge," Zhao Hao said with a serious expression. "It's just that this Prince's servant was just injured and needs some medical expenses. Miss Li, you are wealthy; you should be able to pay this Qian Cai."

Li Shiqing paused; she indeed had no way to refute him. Because Zhao Hao spoke the truth; her status was that of a noble Princess, and she did carry a large amount of silver on her person.

"Here," Li Shiqing took out a stack of gold notes from her sleeve and handed them to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao took the gold notes and examined them carefully, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Miss Li is indeed wealthy and powerful. However, this silver is not enough."

"That is all I have," Li Shiqing said with a frown.

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "You are not planning to get something for nothing, are you?"

Zhao Hao was right; Li Shiqing indeed intended to get something for nothing, because she felt Zhao Hao was not a good match.

"How much more silver do you want?" Li Shiqing asked.

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "This Prince is in a good mood today. How about this: Miss Li gives me all this silver, and then you keep me company for one night, how about that?"

"Don't even think about it," Li Shiqing said coldly. "Since you are unwilling to pay, then forget it."
