You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 142 Fighting Side by Side
Liang Jiang and Princess Mu Min were both taken aback and hesitated before accepting the offer.

"What? Don't you know what's good for you?" Huyan Chao sneered.

At this point, Liang Jiang was basically certain that Hu Yanchao must have tracked down the princess's whereabouts, and the person who had been sneaking around following Princess Mumin to the inn that day must have been sent by Hu Yanchao.

It's true that the devil is always one step ahead of the saint; no wonder Princess Mumin wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

She said tremblingly, "I am not a good drinker."

Princess Mu Min's voice trembled slightly with fear: "If you don't want to drink the wine I offered you, just throw it away. Why force me?"

Huyan Chao gave a cold smile: "Wouldn't it be a waste of Princess Mumin's good intentions to pour it out? What? You dare not drink it? Are you afraid that Princess Mumin has put some poison in this wine?"

"How dare you!" Princess Mu Min's expression changed slightly: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Huyan Chao glanced meaningfully at the wine bowl: "What is the princess afraid of? I was just joking."

Liang Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll eat it!"

He took the wine bowl from Huyan Chao and drank it all in one gulp.

Thankfully, I've been tested by alcohol; you can't get by in this world without a good tolerance for alcohol.

Huyan Chao laughed heartily, looking up at the sky: "Young brother, you have quite the capacity for alcohol."

Then he turned around, leaned close to Princess Mumin, took a deep breath, and said flippantly, "The fragrance on the princess is very unique. No wonder she is the woman that I, Huyan Chao, like."

"After I've dealt with these four arrogant fools, I'll ask Your Majesty to grant us a marriage."

Princess Mumin's face darkened.

Hu Yanchao stretched his arms and legs with satisfaction, then walked straight to the center of the field with a disdainful look on his face.

"Your Majesty's time is precious, so the four of you may come at me together! Let's not waste any more time and finish this quickly."

The four of them looked at each other, still somewhat unwilling.

If the four of them compete, the winner will at least have a chance to show his face in front of the King of Xiliang.

Someone stepped forward: "General, you are truly awe-inspiring! Although I know I am merely showing off my limited skills before an expert, I still wish to ask you for your guidance, for I would benefit greatly from it. Please forgive me!"

The four immediately rushed forward, each displaying their skills.

Upon engaging in battle, Liang Jiang inwardly groaned, realizing that Huyan Chao's reputation as the number one warrior was truly well-deserved.

Each move is steady and powerful, with a palm strike as big as a fan that can send sand and stones flying, and can even shatter stones and break monuments, let alone flesh and blood.
The other three were also extremely skilled, swift as the wind, with ever-changing moves that contained hidden secrets.

However, the four of them, working together independently and lacking the ability to cooperate, do not seem to be able to gain much advantage in front of Huyan Chao.

Liang Jiang dodged and weaved, carefully avoiding his attacks and minimizing direct confrontation. After a dozen or so moves, she deliberately created an opening without leaving a trace, fell to the ground, and was defeated.

The other three were no match for them either. They struggled to hold on, only able to parry but unable to retaliate.

The outcome seems to be already decided.

Huyan Chao seemed to be burning with fire, pressing closer and closer to the four of them with his iron palms.

The crowd outside gasped in shock, unable to bear watching any longer.

The first person to attack even knelt down and begged for mercy, but Hu Yanchao showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he slapped the man away with a palm, causing him to vomit blood.

Moreover, Huyan Chao discovered that the pretty boy who was receiving so much attention from Princess Mumin seemed to have something special about him.

Although she suffered repeated defeats during their fight, appearing to be the most pathetic to outsiders, I never managed to inflict any serious damage on her.

She's faking it!

Therefore, Huyan Chao focused all his energy on Liang Jiang, pressing her relentlessly.

Seeing that someone was about to die, Princess Mumin immediately rushed into the arena and stood in front of Liang Jiang without hesitation.

"Stop! Huyan Chao, a contest in the training ground is meant to end when the opponent has made their move. Do you really want to kill them all?"

Huyan Chao glared at Princess Mumin, his eyes bloodshot: "You're going to protect this pretty boy? You don't want to marry me, is it because of this androgynous guy? He's far inferior to that person."

"What nonsense are you spouting? They are all pillars of the nation, capable of great things. Do you really want to wipe them all out?"

"Get out of the way!" Huyan Chao roared, like a trapped beast. Princess Mumin trembled with fear, but her feet did not budge.

"This princess will absolutely not allow you to indiscriminately kill innocent people!"

Huyan Chao's face contorted with rage as he approached Princess Mumin step by step, his large hand reaching out to grab at her chest.

The King of Xiliang loved this daughter dearly; how could he sit idly by and do nothing?

He jumped up in alarm: "Guards! Quickly stop General Huyan, don't let him hurt the Princess!"

The guards rushed in to protect Princess Mumin.

"Huyan Chao, I command you to cease immediately!"

Huyan Chao did not give up. Facing the dark mass of guards alone, he merely smiled contemptuously and defeated them one by one with a single palm strike.

Then, without regard for anything else, he unleashed a thunderous palm strike at Liang Jiang.

Liang Jiang embraced Princess Mu Min, leaped into the air, and nimbly dodged.

Huyan Chao grinned maliciously: "Finally, you're willing to show your true skills! Good! I haven't met an opponent in a long time who can withstand more than a dozen moves from me without being defeated!"

So they became even more ruthless.

Even though Princess Mumin was right beside Liang Jiang, she showed no mercy.

The King of Xiliang was wary of Huyan Chao, but that didn't mean he had to swallow his anger.

If he dared to harm his own precious daughter, he certainly won't put me in the same light next time.

Once again, the King of Xiliang harbored murderous intent towards Huyan Chao.

"How dare you, Huyan Chao! This is utterly outrageous! Whoever it is today, whoever captures him will be richly rewarded by me! He will be granted high office and generous salary!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Not only the guards outside the arena, but also all the contestants who came to participate in the competition today swarmed forward and surrounded Huyan Chao.

Huyan Chao showed no fear, charging left and right with ruthless moves, keeping a close eye on Liang Jiang and Princess Mumin.

Liang Jiang had to protect Princess Mu Min, so naturally she couldn't go all out in fighting Hu Yanchao.

Just when things were at their most critical, a masked man leaped into the fray, intercepted Huyan Chao's attack, and shielded Liang Jiang behind him.

Liang Jiang naturally knew the identity of the visitor; it was none other than Gu Xizhi.

However, his identity must never be exposed, especially his true face must not be seen by Huyan Chao.

She immediately ordered the guards to move Princess Mumin to a safe place, and then she leaped up to join Gu Xizhi in dealing with Huyan Chao.

A moment later, Huyan Chao gradually lost his strength, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and his legs felt unsteady.

The time is right.

Gu Xizhi and Liang Jiang exchanged a glance, and the two cooperated tacitly, attacking from both sides, and struck Hu Yanchao in the chest with a heavy palm.

Huyan Chao staggered backward and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Even the strength to raise his palm seemed to have been stripped away.

The guards rushed forward and tied Huyan Chao up.

Gu Xizhi dared not linger. She immediately leaped off the field and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Huyan Chao had been captured, the King of Xiliang stepped forward, looked down at him, and said with great distress, "I have valued you so much, yet you dared to plot against the Princess. This is utterly rebellious. If I continue to indulge you, would you even dare to kill me?"

Huyan Chao was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.

However, his eyes were much clearer.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Someone poisoned me, and I fell for their scheme! That's why I couldn't control myself; it was not my intention!"

The King of Xiliang sneered, "You say someone poisoned you, where's the evidence?"

Huyan Chao was pinned to the ground and unable to move. He glared fiercely at the princess and said, "It was the princess. She asked the imperial physician for poison in an attempt to kill me."
