Special War God

Chapter 176 2 Princes

After a brief shock, the prince's companions finally reacted and rushed towards Xu Qian, shouting "Catch her", while Xu Qin was already stunned with fear.

Xu Qian was not someone who would just sit there and wait to die. She immediately took up a fighting stance and engaged in a fierce battle with this group of people.

These young masters usually live in luxury and have never experienced the wind and rain. How can they know how to deal with the battle? After a series of "bang bang bang", everyone became a defeated general under Xu Qian, with bruised faces and swollen noses, and screams one after another... ...

Seeing this, the two noble guards, one stayed where he was to protect the nobleman, while the other stepped forward to meet Xu Qian. A fantastic duel was about to begin.

This person is indeed extremely powerful. After several fights with Xu Qian, they are evenly matched.

Seeing that he could not gain the upper hand, he drew out the magic blade from his waist and launched another attack. Xu Qian lightly called out the magic formula, and two clever short swords appeared in her hands in an instant, and she fought fiercely with the guards again. In this city surrounded by magical power - Wudu, although "fighting is prohibited", the sound of swords clashing still attracted countless citizens to watch.

Xu Qian was immersed in the battle, ignoring the people around her, and madly attacked the guards with just her dagger, like a nimble butterfly, flying through the flying magic halo.

These days, she had been in urgent need of releasing the pent-up repression in her heart. The guard was also an expert in illusion cultivation, and he thought he could easily subdue Xu Qian, but she was so brave and her fighting ability was no less than his, so he had to concentrate all his attention to deal with her.

Only then did Xu Qin regain his composure and begin to examine his surroundings. In a city like Wudu, how could such a long conflict be allowed to go on without being stopped?

I'm afraid that in just a moment, the two warring parties will be bound by a mysterious force. After careful observation, she found something unusual: not far away, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, watching the two people fighting with interest. And further away, the city guards who maintained order in Wudu were blocked by an invisible force and could not get close.

Xu Qin had the honor of meeting this middle-aged man once before. He was none other than the Second Prince. She felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't escape because it involved her own sister. She could only step forward and salute: "Xu Qin greets the Second Prince!"

The second prince glanced at her, then returned his gaze to the battlefield and responded casually: "Oh, it turns out to be the niece of the Xu family!"

Xu Qin hesitated to speak, not knowing how to respond.

The second prince continued, "I see you have been following this battle, do you know that brave girl?"

Xu Qin replied: "I'm ashamed, that wild girl is my younger sister Xu Qian!"

The second prince laughed and said, "It's really interesting. I didn't expect that Xu Dejing not only has a daughter as smart as you, but also has such a hot-tempered little daughter! Tell me what happened!"

So, Xu Qin told the story of how the two sisters were provoked by a nobleman while shopping, which led to a conflict. Of course, she concealed the fact that they knew the other party's identity but still fought.

The second prince laughed when he heard this and said, "It seems that Chengjie still hasn't made any progress. This time he was defeated by your sister. I want to see how he ends up!"

Xu Qin was worried. 'Prince Chengjie' was the eldest grandson of King Wu and the son of the eldest prince. How could Xu Qian have offended him? She knelt down immediately and said, "I didn't know that he was 'Prince Chengjie', so I had a misunderstanding. I beg His Royal Highness the Second Prince to do justice!"

The second prince said with a smile: "This matter is caused by Chengjie, not your sister, you don't have to worry."

Even though he said that, how could Xu Qin not worry? However, no matter how smart she was, she could do nothing at this moment. Things were beyond her control...

Far away, Xu Qian was brave and fearless. The guard named "Prince Chengjie" was already exhausted, and his companions had to hand him over to the care of their companions who were beaten beyond recognition, while he drew out his magic sword and joined the melee.

The new warrior's strength obviously surpassed the former, and the two of them surrounded and instantly gained the upper hand. Facing a strong enemy, Xu Qian was not afraid and responded calmly. She had been trained on the battlefield and witnessed countless grand wars. Her rich experience and knowledge enabled her to move freely even under the double attack.

The second prince nodded silently, and his heart was full of admiration for Xu Qian. Xu Qin saw the second prince's reaction and knew that he did not blame Xu Qian, and felt a little relieved.

At this moment, a majestic voice came from a distance: "Who dares to provoke a fight in Wudu? Stop it immediately!" Before the words fell, a force of nothingness swept over, interrupting the fierce fight and locking the three people at the same time. Any attempt to escape would attract a counterattack from a strong man in the realm of nothingness.

As the voice fell, a figure appeared in the sky above the three people. Everyone looked over and recognized that it was the third commander of the city guards, You Gang.

The chaotic battle had already alerted the city guards, and a team of soldiers had already rushed to the scene. However, the battle continued, and You Gang came to deal with it personally.

Xuwujing's move was like lightning, and he calmed the conflict with his coercion alone. You Gang, who had arrived, looked down at the crowd and was shocked to find five noble sons who were beaten beyond recognition: Qu Chaoquan, grandson of the prime minister, Tu Lichen, grandson of the minister of war, Xie Dongchao, the young master of the Prince An's mansion, Lou Tangjun, the son of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the oldest dandy in Wudu, the prince Wu Chengjie.

Seeing their embarrassed appearance, You Gang was secretly happy, but he didn't smile. He knew that it was not wise to offend these nobles with strong backgrounds, so he rebuked them expressionlessly: "Don't you know that Wudu prohibits private fighting? Who dares to defy the law?"

Wu Chengjie also had a cold face and questioned You Gang: "You Gang, are you city guards just here to eat and do nothing? It took you so long to get here. If you were any later, I would have died!"

You Gang's face darkened. He had some status in Wudu, and being scolded in public made him lose face. But he knew Wu Chengjie's temper very well, so he didn't dare to refute. He could only humbly answer: "So it's the Crown Prince Chengjie. I meet the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that he understood, Wu Chengjie stopped making things difficult for him and pointed at Xu Qian who was locked by You Gang's power: "This woman hit me. Take her to the Grand Prince's Palace. I want to interrogate her personally to see if she is a spy who sneaked into Wudu."

You Gang glanced at Xu Qian and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "What a beautiful lady!" Thinking of those injured dude, he instantly figured out what happened...

He said, "Prince Wu Chengjie, street fighting is a serious crime. According to the law, the perpetrators should be detained and handed over to the City Guard for investigation, and then reported to the court. Sending them directly to the Topaz Palace is not orthodox!"

He realized that Xu Qian's identity must be extraordinary, so how could he easily send her to the Topaz Palace. If the woman's family pursued the matter, if they were unable to fight Wu Chengjie, their anger would likely be transferred to him, the patrolman.

Wu Chengjie roared: "I said to send it to the Topaz Palace, so I sent it there. Why are you making so many fuss?"

You Gang was angered by his threats and replied, "Your Highness, I will first take the prisoner to the City Guards for interrogation and collect testimony. Since she dared to offend the prince, how about handing her over to the prince for judgment after the interrogation?"

He did not dare to challenge Wu Chengjie head-on and could only adopt a delaying strategy. He first checked the background of the "criminal". If there was any force behind it, he could also take the opportunity to notify the other party to avoid becoming a scapegoat.

The imperial capital is filled with powerful people, and the city guard corps is sandwiched between multiple powers. They must act with caution and tact, otherwise they may be in danger of death without knowing it.

Wu Chengjie complained: "What a hassle! You guys are so tedious! Remember, you promised to hand the person over to me. If you don't show up tonight, I'm going to settle the score with you!"

This time, Xu Qian remained silent, quietly observing how the situation developed while thinking about countermeasures.

But in the current situation, she could do nothing.

In the past, when she was "traveling in secret places" in the Bai Kingdom, Xia Zhongnan always supported her behind the scenes no matter what she did. But now the situation is very different. She is in Wudu City, within the sight of King Wu, and there are many high-level cultivators. Xia Zhongnan may not be able to help her out of the predicament here.

At the same time, Xu Qin became anxious and bowed to the Second Prince again for help: "Your Highness, please save Qian'er!"

The second prince nodded and said, "You Gang, I saw the whole thing. It was Wu Chengjie and the others who started the conflict, which led to the fight. It is unfair to take this girl away and let the others go. How about this, I will handle this matter, what do you think?"

You Gang looked over here and found that the person who spoke in the crowd was actually the Second Prince. He was delighted and bowed quickly: "Greetings, His Royal Highness, the Second Prince. Since His Royal Highness has seen it clearly, it is most appropriate for His Royal Highness to handle it! I will take my leave now!"

After saying that, he quickly turned and left.

He was grateful to be able to get out of such trouble.

Wu Chengjie said, "So my second uncle is here too! Second uncle, you saw this. How dare this woman beat my nephew like this? You have to help me get justice!"

The second prince rebuked: "With your behavior, you still expect me to help you. I'm afraid you will really become lawless! I have to talk to my eldest brother and tell him to discipline you!"

At this time, Xu Qin had walked to Xu Qian's side and whispered a few words, and then Xu Qian knelt down and saluted: "Xu Qian greets the Second Prince!"

The second prince no longer had a cold expression, but spoke gently: "Stand up, Xu Dejing, your two daughters are truly rare beauties in the world! I have the final say on matters here, so both of you should stop fighting and stop arguing, how about that?"

Xu Qian responded: "Thank you for your tolerance, Second Prince. As long as Crown Prince Wu Chengjie does not pursue the matter further, Xu Qian will keep the matter quiet."

The second prince turned to Wu Chengjie and his magic apprentice friends and asked, "Chengjie, what about you?"

Wu Chengjie's eyes flashed with a mysterious light, as if he was planning something. Hearing the second prince's question, he answered: "It's all a misunderstanding. I originally wanted to make friends with this Miss Xu, but who would have thought it would end up like this. Since my second uncle has decided, I have no objection."

The second prince said with satisfaction: "Okay, since both parties agree, let's leave it at that. Chengjie, you can leave first."

Wu Chengjie first looked at the Second Prince, then glanced at Xu Qian, and then ordered two guards and several noble companions to leave.

Xu Qian and Xu Qin originally thought that the Second Prince would separate them, but after Wu Chengjie left, the Second Prince was not in a hurry to let them go, but asked: "Is Brother Dejing also in Wudu City?"

Xu Qian replied: "My father is indeed in Wudu recently."
