Chapter 236

~6 min read 1,016 words

With such unheard-of noble treatment, one can imagine to what extent Zhangsun Chong's inner pride had reached.

"Who dares to run wild here?"

Just as Zhangsun Chong ordered his men to prepare to smash the shop, a muffled sound suddenly rang out like thunder, startling Zhangsun Chong.

Subsequently.

A tiger-backed, bear-waisted general in armor was already standing at the entrance of the inn.

"Is it General Li Cunxiao!?"

"It's over, it's over! This kid is done for this time."

"Yeah, I heard General Li is the favorite general of the Great Qin Emperor, killing people like hemp on the battlefield, rarely meeting an opponent."

"Not necessarily. It looks like this kid has some background, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in Jiannan Circuit."

"That's hard to say! After all, Jiannan Circuit has just been ceded to Great Qin, who can say for sure what the rules are?"

The crowd around discussed excitedly.

Everyone wanted to see how the situation would develop next.

"You... who are you?"

Looking at the murderous Li Cunxiao, Zhangsun Chong was somewhat frightened and couldn't help but take a step back.

"According to Great Qin law, those who disturb the order of Jiannan Circuit shall be beheaded!"

"Men, take them all down for me!"

Li Cunxiao didn't care about Zhangsun Chong at all, directly ordering the soldiers of the Trapping Camp behind him to prepare to make arrests.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am Zhangsun Chong, Great Tang Top Graduate, current Imperial Son-in-Law!"

"Do you know who he is? He is the Great Tang Crown Prince, and my father, the current Imperial Uncle, the head of the Great Tang officials, Duke Zhao!"

Zhangsun Chong shouted with his neck stretched.

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar all around.

"What? He is that Great Tang Top Graduate Zhangsun Chong who wrote the masterpiece of a thousand years?"

"Impossible! Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like the person who wrote that article at all."

"Yeah, I thought Zhangsun Chong must be a graceful gentleman, but now he looks so vulgar and unbearable?"

"Who knows?"

Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian listened to the discussions around them and felt that things were getting a bit out of hand.

"Who is making trouble in my Great Qin's territory?"

Just as the conflict escalated, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

The voice was not loud, but it lingered clearly in everyone's ears.

Majestic!

Domineering!

Everyone turned their heads and saw Qin Mu's group walking this way.

"Ah!? It's the Great Qin Emperor!"

Among the crowd, some merchants from Great Qin seemed to recognize Qin Mu and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow.

Preparing to hold Zhangsun Chong back.

In an instant.

Everyone knelt down one after another.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Li Cunxiao also hurried over, kneeling on one knee, his voice like a bell: "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"

"Uncle, Imperial Brother, Cousin, why are you here!?"

Changle, who was following Qin Mu, saw Zhangsun Wuji and the other two standing at the entrance of the inn at a glance.

Empress Zhangsun behind her was also stunned.

Brother, Qian'er?

How could they be here?

Hearing Changle's voice, Zhangsun Wuji also turned his head back abruptly.

When he saw Qin Mu and the others, his pupils shrank suddenly.

It's him!

It really is him!!!

Zhangsun Wuji's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Li Chengqian, who was also quite shocked to see Empress Zhangsun and Changle, felt Zhangsun Wuji's violent reaction and couldn't help but be curious.

He had never seen Zhangsun Wuji so terrified before.

"Hehe!"

"I really didn't expect it!"

"Duke Zhao, it's been several years, I didn't expect us to meet here?"

Qin Mu looked at Zhangsun Wuji in front of him, the cold light in his eyes almost condensing into a cold sword.

He had already executed him by a thousand cuts.

Zhangsun Wuji was already too scared to speak, his head buzzing.

"Hehe!"

"Are you the ruler of Great Qin?"

"I thought you had three heads and six arms, turns out you're just a pretty boy, hahaha!"

Zhangsun Chong didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation and even laughed out loud.

There was dead silence all around.

Except for Zhangsun Chong's dry laughter, there was no other sound.

A cold killing intent permeated the air.

The crowd kneeling on the ground kept their heads down tightly, not daring to breathe.

Empress Zhangsun was scared pale.

It's over!

She had seen people who weren't afraid of death, but never anyone so unafraid of death.

The last person who dared to talk to Qin Mu like this had long been split in two by Wei Zhongxian.

The cuffs of Wei Zhongxian beside Qin Mu began to bulge.

He was ready to act!

"Chong'er, stop it!"

Just at this critical moment, Empress Zhangsun rushed out and walked quickly to Zhangsun Chong.

"Aunt..."

"Slap!"

Before Zhangsun Chong could finish speaking, a loud slap echoed through the surrounding silence.

Five red blood marks instantly appeared on Zhangsun Chong's face.

"Aunt, are you crazy? Hitting this Top Graduate in front of so many people, where do you want me to put my face?"

Zhangsun Chong was also driven crazy by anger.

My parents have never hit me, who do you think you are!

And hitting me in front of so many people?

Don't think that just because you are the Empress and my aunt, I won't care who you are if you provoke me!

"Deserved!"

Looking at Zhangsun Chong, who was like a stupid pig, Changle also cursed in a low voice.

Daring to shout in front of brother-in-law, are you tired of living?

"Your Majesty, Chong'er is young and ignorant, please don't hold it against him."

Empress Zhangsun didn't pay attention to the furious Zhangsun Chong, but hurriedly turned and walked to Qin Mu, bowing respectfully.

"Young? Is my age very old?"

Qin Mu sneered, not caring about Empress Zhangsun's words, but looking coldly at Zhangsun Chong.
