The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Xiao Ce knew that as long as the Crown Prince had no heir, he would never reach the position of heir apparent, and Xiao Ce would still have a chance.

Although he had seven concubines and seven senior officials in the court behind him, he had no children, so they wouldn't be tied to his sinking ship!

After all, whether it's a royal wedding or a commoner's marriage, who doesn't plan for their own descendants when they attend such events?

If you don't even have descendants, what's the point of making any plans?

This is why Xiao Ce dared to be so bold as to secretly form cliques!

……

At the entrance of the embassy's post station.

Crown Prince Xiao Lie, accompanied by two attendants and Chen Changgeng, arrived quickly.

Chen Changgeng paused at the door and shouted loudly to those behind him.

"But here?"

Two men with bruised and swollen faces immediately rolled out from behind.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi in disguise.

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

"Please, gentlemen, do me justice!"

"Those villains kidnapped my sister, and her fate is now unknown!"

Xiao Xizi burst into tears and banged his head on the ground.

"They even raped my eighty-year-old mother right in front of me, causing her to throw herself into a well and commit suicide!"

Xiao Fuzi screamed even louder, her voice breaking with rage.

Fuck!

Chen Changgeng's lips twitched. "Xiao Fuzi, are you out of your mind? Who would believe such an outrageous story!"

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Fuzi shouted, the curious onlookers all gathered around.

"They wouldn't even spare an eighty-year-old mother! These Di and Japanese envoys are utterly inhuman!"

"What's an eighty-year-old mother? I heard even Old Wang's sow next door suffered!"

"Huh? Not even people are allowed? That's outrageous!"

"Oh dear, the Di and Wa people grew up in harsh, cold lands, and they probably haven't even seen many women."

"Once they came to our Great Wu, they went completely mad!"

There was a constant rustling and whispering as people discussed the gossip that had been circulating in the city for the past few days.

These gossips, passed from one person to another, have become quite outrageous.

However, the more outrageous the story, the more excited they became, and the wider it spread.

At this moment, a woman with disheveled hair suddenly rushed out from the crowd, looked at Xiao Xizi, and then at Xiao Fuzi.

He immediately knelt down in front of Crown Prince Xiao Lie with a thud.

"Sir, are you here to rid the people of this scourge?"

"Xiao Cui, a woman from the countryside, was insulted by these beasts and was originally planning to leave the city and drown herself in the river."

"Now that I have seen Your Excellency, I humbly beg you to do me a favor!"

The only one among these people was the Crown Prince, who was dressed impeccably and clearly came from a wealthy and noble family.

When the Crown Prince saw Xiao Cui trying to hug his leg, he was about to dodge her in disgust when Chen Changgeng rushed up and caught her.

"Young lady, is that really true?"

Chen Changgeng never expected that his act would actually catch a real fish.

Shouldn't we make good use of this?

The young woman, Xiao Cui, looked pained. She gritted her teeth and rolled up her sleeves.

Both hands were covered in scarlet whip marks!

Then she tore open her clothes, revealing an even more shocking wound on her back!

"This humble woman begs Your Honor to grant me justice!"

When Crown Prince Xiao Lie saw this, he was immediately terrified. Even though he disliked it, anger was rising in his heart.

"You scoundrel! How dare you utterly insult the people of Great Wu in our capital city!"

"This is intolerable! What else is intolerable!"

Those around who witnessed this scene were immediately filled with righteous indignation and clamored to rush into the embassy's residence.

Just then, two servants inside the post station heard the commotion outside and immediately rushed out.

One man, holding a stern-looking stick, glared angrily at the crowd.

"Who dares to cause trouble here!"

"Are you all tired of living?!"

"This post station is inhabited by envoys from various countries. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be beheaded!"

"Let's see who dares to defy the law!"

In an instant, the public resentment that had just been boiling over fell silent, as if cold water had been poured into a boiling pot.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye, yet secretly observing Crown Prince Xiao Lie's actions.

Crown Prince Xiao Lie was furious at the moment and raised his hand to beat the two audacious servants.

Fortunately, Chen Changgeng quickly grabbed him and whispered a reminder.

"Sir, don't be impulsive. Don't forget what we rehearsed on the way here!"

"Say your lines, say your lines!"

Xiao Lie suddenly realized what was happening and stomped his foot.

"I dare!"

The two constables immediately glared at him and raised their stern rods.

"How dare you! I've made myself perfectly clear, yet you still dare to speak recklessly!"

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences! Take him down!"

Immediately, a dozen or so constables rushed out from inside the embassy's guesthouse and surrounded the group.

The onlookers immediately scattered, each taking several steps back!

Xiao Lie sneered, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at these lackeys, and shouted.

"Who dares! Crown Prince Xiao Lie of the Great Wu Dynasty is here!"

"Let's see who dares to make a move!"

Chen Changgeng quickly presented a gold medal to Xiao Lie with both hands.

Xiao Lie grabbed with one hand and flashed it in front of the two constables.

"Having won the gold medal, why not kneel down!"

Those constables could never have imagined that the Crown Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty would appear in this place.

I was so scared my legs went weak!

They may not have seen the gold medal, but it couldn't possibly be fake!

They immediately collapsed to the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy!

And at that moment, the surrounding crowd erupted in excitement.

Some of the more sensible children immediately knelt down to pay their respects, and then one after another, like dominoes, they all fell to the ground!

"We beg Your Highness to uphold justice for the people!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please kill the treacherous envoy!"

"Please, Your Highness, grant me justice!"

After this ordeal, Crown Prince Xiao Lie's heart was filled with heroic spirit!

He had never felt so respected or so good in his entire life!

Looking at the kneeling subjects below, a sense of mission surged within him, and Crown Prince Xiao Lie immediately shouted.

"Rest assured, you are all subjects of my Great Wu Dynasty, and your affairs are my affairs, Xiao Lie's affairs."

"Today, I, Xiao Lie, have arrived here, and I will certainly give you justice!"

"Come with me, let's go inside and take him away!"

Xiao Lie strode forward and walked inside.

The constables around them dared not stop them and knelt down to one side. The crowd behind them was excited and surged in!

Outside the post station, several men with gloomy faces exchanged glances and looked at Li Guang, who was leading the group and had his face covered.

"Our chance has come! Change your clothes and charge up with this group!"

"Remember, when you meet the envoys from various countries later, you must kill them!"

"Kill as many as you can, and it would be best to take a few envoys from other countries with you."

"The bigger the mess, the better!"

Chen Changgeng, who had already entered the post station, was filled with anxiety.

Oh no, it seems I used a bit too much force.

This time, instead of promoting the Crown Prince's reputation, the Crown Prince has instigated a riot!

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Crown Prince Xiao Lie had already gone up the stairs, Chen Changgeng immediately stepped in front of him to block his way.

Looking at the large, angry crowd in front of him, Chen Changgeng cleared his throat.

"I know you are all indignant, but please wait outside the post station."

"Only my master is capable of accomplishing such a great task!"

"The important task of the state mission falls on any of your shoulders, and it is as heavy as Mount Tai."

"Since my master has said he will seek justice for the people, then naturally my master will bear the consequences of this matter alone!"

Upon hearing this, the people who had just become agitated immediately came to their senses.

Yes, the trouble at the embassy is like a mosquito bite to the Crown Prince—it doesn't hurt or itch.

But if it happened to them, it would be a capital offense punishable by beheading!

"I never imagined that the Crown Prince, second only to the Emperor, would be so considerate of us commoners. It's truly touching!"

"We'll leave now, so as not to cause any trouble for the Crown Prince!"

"Yes, we'll wait outside, but I'm not someone who's afraid of dying."

"If Your Highness is in any danger, simply raise your arm and shout, and we will surely come to your rescue!"

Outside, Li Guang and the others had just changed their clothes and were about to rush in when they were pushed back by the crowd.

"What happened? Why did they all come out?"

"Oh no, we've been stopped!"

"What do we do now?"

Li Guang gritted his teeth and stamped his foot in resentment.

"What else can we do? Go change clothes again and assassinate them through the back door!"
