Chapter 332

Hearing Cui Jia's arrogant words, the onlookers lowered their heads and dared not speak.

They were not desperate because of Cui Jia's arrogance, but because what he said was indeed the truth.

In this era.

Noble families were the foundation of everything!

Even the high-ranking Emperor was under their control in every move.

Without the noble families, the Emperor would have no tools to rule and would become a lone commander.

Li Er, standing in the crowd, had an ashen face, clenched his fists, and breathed heavily.

Grievance!

Anger!

To be scolded like this while pointing at his nose, and unable to talk back.

Was what he said wrong?

Didn't I ascend to the throne with the support of the noble families?

If I hadn't traded interests with the noble families back then, I probably wouldn't have sat on this throne securely. Of course.

Making a deal with the devil requires a price!

Ever since becoming Emperor, Li Er had been constrained by the noble families.

On the surface, he appeared to follow the good, but in reality, he didn't dare to touch the interests of the noble families at all.

Everyone wants to be Emperor!

Who could have thought of the grievances of being an Emperor?

Li Er wanted to get rid of the noble families more than anyone else.

But his heart was willing, yet his strength was insufficient!

"Alright, I won't lower myself to the level of a country bumpkin like you. Be sensible, quickly send this young lady over to me, otherwise, I will chop you into eight pieces immediately."

Cui Jia didn't want to talk nonsense with Su Dingfang anymore, looking at the beautiful girl, his heart was already impatient.

Hehehe!

I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a beautiful woman.

This time I've made a fortune!

"You dare!"

"This is under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you dare to commit violence and hurt people? To tell you the truth, I am Su Dingfang, the personal guard of the Great Qin Emperor! Are you not afraid of the descent of Heaven's might?" Su Dingfang said coldly.

"The Great Qin Emperor's personal guard? Hahaha! You scared me to death! You're just a dog, and you dare to show off in front of me?"

"Get him!"

No matter if he is the King of Heaven or whoever, as long as it's someone I like, I must get my hands on them!

Dozens of strong men raised their long swords and rushed up instantly.

In the blink of an eye.

This place was in a mess.

Su Dingfang fought several people with his bare hands, but eventually, he was a bit overwhelmed, and it looked like he was running out of strength.

"This kid is a good material, he has backbone! It's just a pity, he offended the noble family."

Li Er, standing on the side, kept shaking his head and sighing.

Anyway, he didn't think the trouble was big enough!

"Stop, all of you!"

Just as the chaos was happening, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out, shaking everyone's eardrums.

Everyone stopped instantly.

A general strode over, followed by a dozen personal guards.

"General Li!"

Seeing this person, Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior.

This person was Li Cunxiao, the General of the Capital Guard, responsible for managing the nine gates of the capital and maintaining security.

Hearing that there was a fight here, he hurriedly led people to rush over.

"What's going on?"

Li Cunxiao asked expressionlessly.

"General Li, this person snatched a woman on the street and hurt people with weapons. After I saw it, I rescued this girl. But this person relied on the power of the noble family, still refused to give up, and wanted to commit violence on the street!"

"Did you tell him you are the Emperor's personal guard?"

"I did, but it was useless."

"Useless?"

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, his whole body shrouded in terrifying killing intent, and even the surrounding air suddenly became much colder.

"Hiss!"

Li Er gasped, goosebumps rising all over his body.

What a powerful general!

Li Cunxiao didn't say a word, approaching Cui Jia step by step.

The dozens of strong men who were showing off just now became trembling lambs, constantly retreating.

Like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep!

"Is what he said all true?"

Li Cunxiao's hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, asking coldly.

"So what if it is? What kind of thing are you? Do you know whose son I am..."

"Crack!"

Before Cui Jia finished speaking, he felt his neck go cold, and his head had already separated from his body!

Even when Cui Jia's head hit the ground, he could still see his body spurting blood!

The surroundings were dead silent.

The onlookers seemed not to have reacted yet, staring blankly at Cui Jia.

"This person ignored the law, committed violence with weapons on the street, and assassinated the Emperor's guard, a crime equal to rebellion! According to the Great Qin law, execute immediately without pardon!" The cold voice lingered in everyone's ears, the killing intent between the lines almost soaking into the bone marrow!

"Gulp!"

A drop of cold sweat slid down Li Er's forehead, making him swallow his saliva.

What a fast sword, what a ruthless person!....... Begging for flowers... 0 "Take them all away!"

After speaking.

Li Cunxiao picked up Cui Jia's head and left as if nothing had happened.

The personal guards behind him surrounded the dozens of strong men holding swords.

Those strong men had long since lost their previous arrogance, kneeling respectfully on the ground one by one, letting the personal guards take them away.

"Let's go quickly too!"

Su Dingfang finally calmed down and left the scene with the girl quickly.

"Master, something big is going to happen, let's leave quickly! I reckon it won't be long before this matter spreads throughout Handu. By then, those noble families will definitely want to ask Qin Mu for an explanation. With Qin Mu's personality, I reckon it will be a river of blood!"

Fang Xuanling's heart was also beating non-stop.

This was too ruthless!

What made people feel scared was not the bloody scene in front of them, but the killing intent on Li Cunxiao, like a hellish Asura.

Just from his back, one could seem to see the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on him.

What kind of person is this exactly?

"What? You mean Qin Mu dares to take action against the noble families? That's not very likely, right?" Li Er was also quite surprised.

If the noble families were really that easy to eradicate, would I still need to suffer so much grievance?
