In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

Footsteps soon reached the side room on the second floor.

Li Yuanchang and Qin Keyu, who were speaking, both paused at the same time.

Li Yuanchang gave a signal, and Guo Chao and the other guards quickly hid.

Snapped! !

The next second, the door was pushed open with a thud.

A tall man entered first.

"It's him!" Qin Keyu whispered.

A playful smile appeared on Li Yuanchang's lips.

Along with Lü Jie, there were seven or eight attendants who entered.

"Haha, Sister Qin, I'm here."

"I didn't expect you to actually change your mind this time and take the initiative to ask me out."

"I am so happy to see you."

Lu Jie laughed loudly, his eyes automatically ignoring Li Yuanchang and sweeping over Qin Keyu's body, making no attempt to hide his fiery passion.

And it was a very offensive feeling.

Qin Keyu's eyes showed extreme disgust, and then she hid behind Li Yuanchang.

Only then did Lü Jie's gaze fall on the unfamiliar Li Yuanchang. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place him.

"Who are you?" Lu Jie asked with a hostile expression.

"You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to come here?" Li Yuanchang looked at the eight people opposite him with a smile.

"Boy, how dare you speak to me like that? You might as well lose your legs!"

"Believe it or not, I'll make sure you leave here straddling a chair today!"

puff...

Qin Keyu couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, clearly enjoying the show.

"Oh, really?"

"Then I'm actually a little scared." Li Yuanchang sat there, not even showing any intention of standing up.

Upon hearing this, Lü Jie was furious, feeling as if his pride had been rubbed into the ground.

"court death!"

"Break off one of his legs!"

"yes!"

His seven attendants immediately stepped forward; they were probably thugs, and they ate much better than ordinary servants, being burly and strong.

"You want to mess with me?" Li Yuanchang raised an eyebrow.

"So what if I touched you?"

"I'll take advantage of the fact that you outnumber me today!" Lu Jie said arrogantly.

"Then look behind you," Li Yuanchang said calmly.

Swish swish swish swish!

The guards hidden in various places came out one by one and stood in a row in an instant, each of them holding a sword.

The aura emanating from him was far superior to that of these thugs; they were all retired soldiers.

"Who?!"

Lu Jie and the others felt a chill run down their spines and turned around in horror.

"Who...who are you?"

"You bitch, how dare you scheme against me!!" Lu Jie realized he had been ambushed and angrily rebuked Qin Keyu.

Qin Keyu said coldly and with disgust, "You're the one who's a slut!"

Enraged, Lü Jie sneered, "You little bitch, you'll learn your lesson!"

"Men, make your move!"

"Everyone, get outside and line up in a bit. I've had my fun, now it's your turn!"

"yes!"

His entourage shouted loudly and then grabbed their weapons.

A cold, murderous glint flashed in Li Yuanchang's eyes.

With just a glance, Guo Chao and his men struck with lightning speed, pouncing like tigers and leopards.

Inside the room, a loud bang was heard, followed by screams, as a large number of tables and chairs exploded in an instant.

The two sides were far too mismatched in strength. The seven henchmen were taken down in an instant without even putting up a fight, and one of them smashed through the doors and windows with a loud crash and was sent flying out.

The thugs gambling downstairs were shocked and all looked up.

At that moment, a terrified scream came from the second floor: "Help! Help!!"

"Oh no! Something's happened to the young master!"

"quick!!"

Rumble!

A series of rapid footsteps sounded, and at least a dozen more people rushed upstairs, completely shattering the tranquility of the Six Study Pavilion.

But when they rushed up the stairs, they saw a burly man standing there.

"The King of Han is handling cases, who dares to act recklessly?!" Guo Chao took out his token, his voice booming like thunder, echoing throughout the entire building.

In an instant, everyone froze, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Han, the King of Han?

"Kneel down!" Guo Chao roared again.

A dozen or so people trembled and knelt down in unison, shaking with fear. This was the oppressive force of power.

The entire situation was suppressed almost instantly, without even a ripple. Lu Jie and his group didn't even qualify as opponents.

The room was in a mess, filled with groans; the fighting had stopped.

"You, you are the King of Han?" Lü Jie asked in disbelief, backing away repeatedly.

Li Yuanchang had a faint smile on his lips as he pressed closer.

"Don't I look like it?"

Lu Jie's face instantly turned a deep, liver-colored hue, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

Then he suddenly knelt down and began kowtowing frantically.

"Your Highness, I deserve death! I deserve death!"

"I truly didn't know it was you just now. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to challenge you even if I had eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

"Please, please, don't hold a grudge against someone like me!"

Li Yuanchang was disdainful.

"I still prefer your unruly attitude from earlier."

puff! !

Qin Keyu laughed again, hands on hips and belly raised.

Lu Jie's face was burning hot, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"Don't kneel, get up! Didn't you just say you wanted me to leave horizontally?"

"Come, now I'll give you a chance."

"Take it."

Li Yuanchang offered him a knife.

Guo Chao and the others standing nearby all chuckled mischievously.

Lu Jie trembled, tears welling in his eyes, and kowtowed again: "Your Highness, no, I dare not!"

"Dare not?" Li Yuanchang looked down at him with disdain, his sword-like eyebrows raised in condescension.

"You dare not, but I dare!"

Having said that, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he swung his genuine Tang sword, striking hard.

Snapped! !

"what!"

Lu Jie's mouth was instantly smashed into a bloody mess, and he flew out with a scream, crashing into the screen and shattering it.

Qin Keyu's cherry-like lips formed a wide, rounded shape, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.

His Highness the Prince of Han, who appears refined, gentle, and tolerant, is surprisingly ruthless.

Lu Jie kept wailing, "Waaaaah..."

"No, no!"

Please.

Li Yuanchang showed no pity whatsoever, pressing closer: "Don't want it? If I weren't here today, you'd be on top of the world! As the son of a legal officer, how dare you gather your men to cause chaos in broad daylight, knowingly breaking the law!"

"Don't you know that Liangzhou is under my jurisdiction?"

"Your Highness, I didn't know, I didn't know she was your woman!" Lu Jie was about to cry. He had never heard that Qin Keyu had this kind of relationship with him.

If he had known, he shouldn't have been lustful at first sight!

Qin Keyu was watching the commotion when she heard the word "woman," and her pretty face immediately turned red with shame and indignation.

"You won't bully her just because she's my woman, but you can bully ordinary people at will?" Li Yuanchang said, delivering another kick to the stomach.

boom!

puff……

Caught completely off guard, Lü Jie flew backward like a wild goose landing on the sand, spitting out a large cloud of blood mist, gliding for at least seven or eight meters.

Li Yuanchang continued forward, dragging his sword, with no intention of stopping.

Blood dripped from Lü Jie's lips. Seeing the person approach, he raised his hands in terror: "No, no, Your Highness, please stop hitting him!"

"My father is your subordinate, he's a legal advisor!"
