A hardwood table turned into pieces all over the floor, and a network of cracks appeared on the square tiles on the floor.
"Don't let me know who it is! Master, I will chop him with one sword!" Ding Kui's roar could be heard in the Protectorate.
Long Yan was sitting next to her, comforting a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, while a maid in the palace was trembling and cleaning the scraps of wood on the floor.
"Where did your Highness go?" Ding Kui did not specify, but everyone could tell that he was asking when the eldest princess had not returned to the palace.
"This is a secret of the royal family, and the punishment of the mother-in-law is related to this matter."
Shaodian Luan knew that Ding Kui had returned to the capital, and came to her door to explain something. However, he first heard that Ding Kui had gone on a killing spree because of the rumors about her.
"The vicious plan is to bully you into not being able to tell me clearly, and bullying me into not daring to inquire into the secrets of the royal family. Is it a good thing or a bad thing for you?" Ding Kui asked in a different way.
"Well, I don't know if it's good or bad." Shao Dianluan thought about the fact that he didn't gain much in those three days. "You know some secrets that are not good for you. Is it good or bad?"
"Well, I believe that at least you are not going to have a private meeting with a mysterious lover. No matter what others say, it can't affect me. Why didn't the king react?"
Rumors about the eldest princess have been circulating for two days, but there has been no movement from the king.
"My father said you would come, but he is not the man to shield me from the wind and rain." After finishing speaking, Shao Dianluan's face turned red.
Ding Kui didn't pay attention to the eldest princess's reaction. He crossed his hands, pinched his chin, and walked up and down the hall.
"The Senate asked me to return to the capital. Your Majesty must know my schedule and ask me to quell the rumors attacking His Highness? At that time, it was impossible for me to ask you to do anything or to be with me. How can I speak for His Highness?"
"Can you say that you are with a poor concubine?" Long Yan suggested.
"That's not right!" Ding Kui answered the question inappropriately, "It doesn't matter where His Highness went during those three days. Who was slandering His Highness behind his back? Understanding this is the key.
It is not easy to deal with someone who has the courage and ability to do such a thing. It is difficult to trace the source of the rumors now. The best way is to let this person come out again."
"Is it difficult to find the person who harmed me? Whoever benefits the most is the one who did it. I think it's the Tang family most likely." Shao Dianluan suddenly lost his temper.
"On the surface it seems true, but I think things are not that simple. You can see that the Tang family would do such a stupid thing?" Ding Kui hadn't thought clearly yet.
"Ding Kui! What do you mean by saying this? What I can tell is stupidity?" The girl's thoughts were very delicate.
"That's not what I meant. Oh, I'm helping you analyze, what's your temper?" Ding Kui was unhappy.
"Have you ever analyzed it like this? I haven't analyzed who did it, but you think I'm stupid first." Shao Dianluan didn't give in at all.
"What are you doing? The person who spread the rumor didn't get caught, so he started a fight on his own, and he wasn't afraid of others laughing at him." Long Yan stopped between Ding Kui and Shaodian Luan, "My husband's statement is a bit inappropriate. Your Highness has a lot of
Can you forgive him?"
Facing Long Yan, Shaodian Luan couldn't control his temper and just turned his head to the side, "Humph!"
"Ahem, cough, cough," Quan Sihai coughed a few times outside the hall, then walked in and said, "Master, the people from the City Defense Army Inspection Office wanted to come and inquire about what happened on the street, but I beat them away."
"What? It's the Inspection Office again. I haven't settled the accounts with them for what happened last time. This time they're here to disgust me. If a tiger doesn't show off, he thinks I'm a sick cat!" Ding Kui was furious, and now he spread his anger on me.
On the Inspection Office.
He glanced at Shaodian Luan and suddenly asked, "Have you ever had a fight?"
The eldest princess was stunned, "No, no, why do I want to fight with others?"
Shao Dianluan has been in a bad mood these past two days, and he has been simmering with anger for a long time. Now that Ding Kui has teased him, his immature mentality suddenly explodes.
"Assemble a team of guards to protect the eldest princess."
"I obey my orders."
With a bang, the central door of the Protector's Mansion opened wide.
A squadron of strong-backed guards filed out, headed by the guards of the Marquis of Protector, who commanded the whole world.
Ding Kui rode out a carriage belonging to the Ding family and walked among the guards.
This group of people marched toward the south gate of Zhenjing City.
The City Defense Army Inspection Office is located on Mingde Street near the south gate. It is the most solemn and majestic building on the street. Pedestrians can stay as far away as possible when passing by.
The back door of the inspection office is connected to the city defense army camp, so officers and soldiers can enter and exit without going through the main gate of the military camp.
The guard guarding the gate was bathed in the spring sunshine, and the weapons in his hands became less cold. If he had a place to lean against, he would be able to squint in a while.
A group of people and horses walked in a neat pace, and passers-by on Mingde Street took cover.
A knowledgeable person can see the family crest and totem of the Protector Marquis, and can probably guess who this team is.
Ding Kui urged his horse to pass the guards and rush directly to the gate of the inspection office.
"Stop whoever is coming! This is the inspection office, an important city defense area. Get off your horse and get out of the way." The team leader guarding the gate shouted while hiding behind the guards.
The momentum of this team is aggressive, and none of them seems to be good at it.
There are many people in Zhenjing who the Inspection Office cannot afford to offend.
"Go away! I don't have to dismount when I see the commander-in-chief. Who are you? You dare to tell me to dismount?"
This is not Ding Kui's bragging, "not dismounting when in office" is a privilege bestowed upon him by the king. The Inspection Office belongs to the city defense army, and in the eyes of the regular army, it is similar to a private residence.
There were a few indifferent guards who tried to stop them, but Ding Kui picked up his horse whip and whipped them to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the squad leader quickly ran into the inspection office.
"Everyone who is in the way should move to the side." Quan Sihai ordered.
Ten guards left the queue, five in charge of the left and five in charge of the right, and ordered the guards to move away.
The disobedient guard snatched the weapon from his hands and threw it to the ground.
Those who refused to give way were punched and beaten before being pushed away.
Ding Kui broke into the inspection office gate on horseback.
Shaodian Luan walked into the gate followed by Quan Sihai's escort.
In the front yard of the inspection office, more than a hundred officers and soldiers held weapons and blocked Ding Kui's path. Archers were gathering behind them, drawing their bows and arrows to aim at Ding Kui and others.
Bang bang, Ding Kui flicked his whip twice in the air and shouted: "Go away, you dare to block the eldest princess's way, are you trying to rebel?"
The officers and soldiers in the inspection office looked at each other, wondering whether they should believe what the man on the horse said.
"Your Highness, they don't seem to take you seriously." Quan Sihai said in Shao Dianluan's ear.
Shaodian Luan got angry when he heard this, strode towards the officers and soldiers blocking his way, and casually took the wooden stick handed by the guard next to him.
"How dare you use swords and guns against me! If you don't retreat, I will punish you for the offense." She rushed in directly.
Not many people in the inspection office had seen the eldest princess, at least not one at the scene. The officers and soldiers blocking the road were surprised and uncertain.
Quan Sihai kicked the guard next to him, and the guard shouted: "You eggless city defense troops, whether you retreat or not, whether you advance or not, what do you want?"
"Go away!", "Back off!", "Kneel down!" the guards who poured into the front yard shouted.
The two officers and soldiers couldn't help but pointed their guns at Shaodian Luan, preventing her from moving forward.
"Looking for death!" Ding Kui rolled forward, jumped off his horse, and rushed in front of the eldest princess. He reached out and grabbed the tips of the two spears and pushed them forward with force.
There are only two people in the first team who can compete with Ding Kui. One is Ba Xi, who is born with supernatural power, and the other is Ao Yu, who can wield the ability of a sixth-level early-stage monster.
The officers and soldiers with guns could not stand firm, and they were knocked back even with guns. Several officers and soldiers in a straight line behind were knocked away.
Bang, an archer subconsciously loosened his fingers, and the sharp arrow on the bow string shot out.
Archers with shooting angles were affected by this and loosened their fingers on the string.
Whoosh, whoosh, more than a dozen arrows shot at Ding Kui.
"Stop!" A loud shout came from the lobby.
But the sound can't call back the arrow from the string.
Shaodian Luan suddenly became anxious. He took a wrong step and walked around in front of Ding Kui. He shook the wooden stick and used it as a long sword, and danced out several sword flowers.
Her fighting spirit cultivation is in the late stage of breaking the shield, but her swordsmanship has already reached a state of perfection under the guidance of the epic knight. She can handle hundreds of arrows, not to mention a dozen arrows.
Ding Kui knew Shaodian Luan's strength a year ago, so he let her intercept the bow and arrow and rushed into the crowd himself.
The officers and soldiers in the Inspection and Quarantine Office were far inferior to his subordinates. He did not use any weapons at all and charged into the crowd with his bare hands.
Shaodian Luan stopped a wave of bows and arrows, instead of staying stupidly on the spot, he straightened up his wooden stick and rushed towards Ding Kui's flanks to protect his sides and rear.
"Stop, stop! Everyone, stand down!" A thin man rushed out from the lobby of the inspection office, wearing the official uniform of a brigade commander.
The officers and soldiers were relieved, put away their weapons and quickly retreated.
Those who didn't have time to retreat simply put their heads in their hands and rolled to the ground. Even if they were beaten, they could avoid the vital parts of their bodies.
Shaodian Luan stopped when he couldn't find his opponent.
Ding Kui was here to show off, so he wouldn't listen to what the other party said. He kicked the thin man who looked like Yang Qia, "Don't run away. Attacking the eldest princess openly is a capital offense!"
It was Yang Qia, director of the inspection department, who came out of the lobby. He had just received a notification from the captain of the guard team and knew that Ding Kui was coming to cause trouble, but he did not expect that the eldest princess would also come with him.
"Stop! Captain Ding, don't slander us. Those who attacked us just now don't know His Highness's identity." Yang Qia hurriedly avoided.
"Sophistry! It was you who ordered your men to assassinate the eldest princess!"
Ding Kui suddenly killed him, but before that he had not forgotten Luo Zhi's crime and had no intention of finding a way for Yang to survive.
The enemy's relatives are the enemies, and they are avenging private revenge.
