For a moment, these bodyguards all exuded a powerful intimidation, causing the faces of those Imperial City guards to show an expression of surprise.
Cao Jincheng, however, gave a cold snort at this moment.
“Damn it, how dare you act like a big wolf in my territory, you really don’t want to live! Give me a go, kill them!”
Cao Jincheng shouted angrily.
With Cao Jincheng’s order, those Imperial City guards no longer hesitated and at the same time, they turned towards those bodyguards.
“Protect Miss Liu!”
The captain of the bodyguards shouted angrily, and the bodyguards went towards the Imperial City guards at the same time.
The next moment, the two sides immediately fought together.
The difference in numbers between the two sides was not that great, the numbers were basically the same, but as they fought, it was easy to see that Liu Xueya’s bodyguards were clearly stronger.
The bodyguards, on the other hand, had all come from the dead, and their strikes were ruthless and decisive, clearly not comparable to those of the imperial guards.
It was not long before all the Imperial City guards had fallen to the ground, screaming in agony.
When the surrounding crowd saw this scene, they all sighed for a moment.
It turned out that the strength of these Imperial City guards was not as strong as these private bodyguards!
Cao Jincheng looked at those men on the ground, and his face was also hard to see.
“A bunch of rice barrels!”
Cao Jincheng cursed angrily.
Liu Xueya, on the other hand, said with a sullen and cold face, “Sir Cao, I’ll treat today’s matter as a misunderstanding, you’d better hurry up and leave!”
This Cao Jincheng had a powerful background after all, and Liu Xueya did not want to offend the other party to death.
However, Liu Xueya wanted to leave a line, but this Cao Jincheng was still trying to be unforgiving.
“Go?” Cao Jincheng snorted coldly, sneer and disdain written all over his face, “Do you really think that with a few rash youngsters standing in your way, you can control the whole situation? Let me tell you, this imperial capital is the domain of our Cao family, here, only our Cao family has the say, even the emperor is not as good as our Cao family, with these few raggedy bodyguards, they are nothing!”
When the surrounding people heard this, they all felt a burst of emotion.
However, they all knew that although Cao Jincheng’s words were arrogant, they were not exaggerated, and to a certain extent, in this imperial capital, the words of the Cao family were sometimes more effective than those of the emperor!
Liu Xueya had not expected that this Cao Jincheng would be so arrogant as to reach such a level.
“What else do you want?!”
Liu Xueya asked in a cold voice.
“What do you want? You will find out later!”
Cao Jincheng laughed conspiratorially.
With that, one could only see Cao Jincheng taking out a small crossbow from his sleeve.
“Protect Miss Liu!”
Those bodyguards thought that Cao Jincheng was trying to make a move on Liu Xueya, and they all protected Liu Xueya’s body.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Cao Jincheng didn’t aim his crossbow at Liu Xueya, but at the sky.
The next moment, “Whoosh!” A whistle sounded on the ground.
A loud arrow was seen to rise into the sky, and where it passed, it formed the shape of a long red dragon, which eventually exploded in the air with a bang.
A red cloud of smoke immediately appeared in that air, obviously something like a signal.
“This …… is the Dragon Might Arrow?!”
The people around immediately recognized the identity of this loud arrow.
In a flash, the faces of the people were all shocked, because they all knew very well that this Dragon Might Arrow could be considered extraordinary!
This Dragon Might Arrow was used by the guards of the imperial capital to warn them of the dragon’s danger, and would only be used when His Majesty’s safety was threatened.
But now, this Cao Jincheng had actually used this Dragon Might Arrow, this was no small matter!
With the shooting of the Dragon Might Arrow, in just a few breaths, a whistling sound was heard in the surrounding sky.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of uniformed Imperial City guards were seen gathering from all directions.
All of them were armed and stern, with an astonishing aura that scared the people around them.
“Where is His Majesty? Who released the arrows?!”
A captain of the guards asked with a nervous look on his face.
At that moment, Cao Jincheng waved his hand and said casually, “Nervous my ass, it was me who released the arrows!”
When that guard captain saw that it was Cao Jincheng, he first stared, and then a look of respect appeared on his face.
“So it’s the Grand Duke, I wonder what you meant by releasing the Dragon Might Arrow just now?”
The guard captain asked with a sarcastic smile.
Cao Jincheng snorted coldly and pointed at those bodyguards not far away and shouted angrily, “These people just beat up our imperial guards, I now suspect that they are the remaining party of the Marquis of Zhen Nan, so why don’t you hurry up and put them to death!”
The entire Great Qian was now in a state of purging the remaining party of the Zhen Nan Hou, so Cao Jincheng was really ruthless to put such a big label on these bodyguards this time, and obviously did not intend to leave any way for these bodyguards to live!
“What? The remaining party of the Zhen Nan Hou?!”
That guard captain looked at these bodyguards in front of him and couldn’t help but stare.
Liu Xueya shouted angrily, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, it was clearly him who attempted to misbehave with me just now, these bodyguards of mine were just protecting me, since when did they become the remnants of the Marquis of Zhen Nan!”
“That’s right, they’re all just ordinary people, it’s all because of this Duke Cao who’s doing something naughty!”
Xu Jiao Ran, who was at the side, also stood out at this moment and spoke for Liu Xue Ya.
That guard captain wasn’t stupid either, as these bodyguards in front of him were clearly dressed in the worldly world, so naturally they couldn’t be any remnants of the Zhen Nan Hou party.
However, since Cao Jincheng had said so himself, the guard captain did not dare to disobey him, after all, Cao Jincheng’s father was his top boss, and he was only a captain, so he could not call his bluff with Cao Jincheng.
So, the guard captain’s face instantly turned ugly.
“Good, I didn’t expect that now that the Marquis of Zhen Nan has already fallen from power, you remnants would still dare to behave in this imperial capital! Come on, men, punish these remnants of the Marquis of Zhen Nan on the spot!”
“Yes!”
As the captain of the guards gave the order, the hundreds of guards in the imperial capital simultaneously drew their swords and rushed towards the bodyguards.
When the bodyguards saw this, a look of horror appeared on their faces.
There were only twenty of them, so even if they were strong, they could not possibly be a match for so many Imperial Guards.
For a moment, these bodyguards were all ready to surround and kill.
Xu Jiao Ran was also full of bitterness, she did not want anything to happen to these bodyguards either.
And just at that moment.
“Stop!”
Liu Xueya, however, suddenly spoke.
With a wave of Cao Jincheng’s hand, those Imperial guards immediately stopped.
Then, one could only hear Liu Xueya look at Cao Jincheng and say, “Cao Jincheng, these bodyguards are all innocent. I can go back with you, but you have to promise to let all of them leave here! Including them!”
Liu Xueya also pointed specifically at Li Nan and Xu Jiao Ran who were on the side.
“Miss Liu ……”
Xu Jiao Ran’s face was filled with emotion.
She did not expect that she had never met the other party, and that the other party would still be willing to help her at this point in time.
When Cao Jincheng heard Liu Xueya’s words, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.
“Good, as long as you come with me honestly later, I promise I won’t touch a single cold hair on their heads!”
Cao Jincheng said with a sigh of relief.
“Miss Liu, you can’t!”
Those bodyguards were all intolerant.
Liu Xueya, however, gritted her teeth and finally said, “Fine, I’ll go with you!”
With that, Liu Xueya took a step forward and directly walked towards Cao Jincheng.
Cao Jincheng looked at the graceful figure in front of him, and a cruel cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He could not wait to enjoy this superb beauty from the secular world in front of him.
However, at this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out and directly blocked Liu Xueya’s way.
It was no other person, it was none other than Li Nan.
“You ……”
Liu Xueya looked at Li Nan in front of her, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
Li Nan did not pay attention to Liu Xueya, but looked directly at Cao Jincheng on the opposite side.
“You guys are really bold, unscrupulous, turning black and white upside down, do you really think that this Great Qian Imperial Capital is a place where you can turn your hands into clouds and turn them into rain!”
Li Nan shouted coldly.
Cao Jincheng instantly snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.
“Grass, what the f*ck are you, how dare you talk about Laozi! But you’re really right, this Great Qian Imperial Capital is really under the control of Laozi! If I say you’re black, you’re black, if I say you’re white, you’re white! If I say I want to turn the clouds into rain, the sky of this imperial capital must be as I say! What’s the matter, you don’t f*cking believe me!”
Cao Jincheng looked at Li Nan and said viciously, the expression on his face was simply as arrogant as it could be.
The people around him were also completely shocked by Cao Jincheng’s arrogance.
Faced with such an arrogant son of the powerful and noble, they could only hold their tongues.
When Li Nan saw Cao Jincheng’s arrogant appearance, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Good, no wonder Sheng Yumei’s kingdom was taken away from him, with trash like you around, this Great Qian is afraid that sooner or later the country will fall!”
Li Nan said with a cold laugh.
The moment he said this, it was like a thunderclap, completely shocking everyone present.
The people looked at Li Nan with frightened faces, so frightened that their eyes were about to fall to the ground.
In front of the imperial guards, he dared to say something about the death of the Great Qian.
Even Liu Xueya and Xu Jiao Ran were both so shocked that their mouths were wide open, unable to speak for a moment.
Even they felt that this time, because of Li Nan’s words, the matter was really going to be a big deal!
And at this moment, that guard captain’s face also instantly turned gloomy and vicious.
“How dare you, not only do you dare to call His Majesty by his name, but you also dare to say such treacherous words, you simply deserve to die!”
