Princess Jiaoyang was condescending, waved her hand, and temporarily stopped several accompanying guards:
"It's not that I look down on you. I really don't look down on your little effort. Don't humiliate yourself in front of me."
Princess Jiaoyang looked contemptuously, and as she spoke, she flicked her finger, bang, and a wisp of finger energy immediately shot out, hitting the nearest disciple of the Martial Palace.
That finger looked light and flimsy, with no effort at all, but the Martial Palace disciple who was hit felt as if he had been severely injured. He screamed and flew several feet high, before falling heavily in the distance with a thud.
on the ground.
"ah!"
There were screams and screams all around, and everyone stepped back, but everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out. It was obvious that this princess had been running rampant in the Martial Palace for more than a day or two.
"This boy is in big trouble. When Princess Jiaoyang was twelve years old, she had already broken through to the sixth level of blood and bone. She is more than a little stronger than us. Her current cultivation level is unknown to anyone. She dares to go against Princess Jiaoyang.
, you are simply asking for trouble.”
Chen Shaojun heard a martial arts disciple not far away lowering his head and gloating about his misfortune.
When Chen Shaojun heard this, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed even deeper.
But soon, Chen Shaojun returned to normal.
"Oh, Your Highness, I may not be your opponent when it comes to martial arts, but the Martial Arts Hall is the place where the disciples of the Great Shang practice martial arts. Except for competitions in the martial arts arena, private fights are strictly prohibited. Anyone who dares to disrupt the order of the Martial Arts Hall will be severely punished.
This is a rule set by Emperor Taizu, is your Highness going to violate it?"
"How dare you use His Majesty Taizu to suppress me?"
Hearing Chen Shaojun's words, Princess Jiaoyang twisted her eyebrows and her face turned as cold as frost.
No one in the Martial Palace dared to disobey her or use Emperor Taizu to suppress her, and Chen Shaojun was the first one.
"If Your Highness the Princess doesn't believe it, feel free to take action."
Chen Shaojun smiled and quickly looked at the two guards accompanying the princess:
"Princess Tianhuang, you may not be punished too severely, but you two are different. You should know better than me what the Martial Palace is."
"If you don't want to have your nose picked, tattooed, and sent into the army, just go ahead and take action. Once the affairs of the Great Shang involve the nobles of Tianhuang, they will be handled by the clan. I want to see if His Highness can protect you!"
"Whoosh!"
Hearing Chen Shaojun's words, the two palace masters, who were all covered in armor, trembled and their faces changed.
In addition to the imperial palace, there are two most special places in the entire Great Shang Capital, one is the Confucian Temple and the other is the Martial Palace.
To commit an offense in the Confucian Temple is tantamount to offending the entire business community. Countless great Confucian scholars and great Confucian masters have criticized him with words and writings, and even His Majesty may not be able to protect him.
And Wudian——
The great merchants built their country by martial arts and attached great importance to martial arts. Otherwise, Emperor Taizu would not have specially set rules. No one could disrupt the order of the martial arts palace, otherwise he would be severely punished.
But this is not the most feared thing about Wudian.
There are too many sons of military commanders and children of aristocratic families gathered here, not to mention the children of Xiao Qi Duke and Xiao Rong Duke. They have received great attention in the capital, especially the Zongren Mansion, which is extremely concerned about this place.
Pay attention to.
Whether it is Chen Shaojun or Zhang Que, various local officials and border generals, if they want to fight against the imperial family, they basically use eggs to attack stones and do not overestimate their own capabilities.
But the Zongren Mansion is different. The Zongren Mansion itself is famous for torture and harsh laws. Their main responsibility is to manage the princes and princesses of the Great Shang, as well as the maids and eunuchs who commit crimes in the palace, including the imperial army and Yulin.
Even if you don't die before entering the clan's mansion, you will have to shed your skin.
Moreover, the thing that the Zongren Mansion feared the most was the imperial power. In the previous crown prince incident, the four princes with such high status also fell into the hands of the Zongren Mansion and were handed over to the Zongren Mansion for disposal.
Not even the fourth prince is immune, let alone Princess Jiaoyang and these palace guards.
only--
Most of the disciples of the Martial Palace are only obsessed with martial arts and don't care about things other than cultivation. How can this guy named Chen Jun be so familiar with the laws of the imperial court?
Which warrior would recite those rigid and red tape regulations?
At this moment, looking at the young man in front of them, the two palace guards suddenly felt a little wary. If this boy went to the clan mansion specially, even Princess Jiaoyang would be unable to eat him and carry him away.
"How dare you threaten me!"
At this time, Princess Jiaoyang spoke again, her expression turned cold, even colder than before.
"I don't dare, but the world is big and the earth is big. After all, it can't be bigger than a word. The princess is a noble noble of Tianhuang. She should be well aware of the importance of national laws and regulations. She shouldn't embarrass me, right?"
Chen Shaojun said calmly.
"This boy is so brave. He is the first to dare to talk to the princess like this."
"How brave! I couldn't see it before. This kid is arrogant, but he does have courage. This is Princess Jiaoyang, and he dares to ignore her!"
"Tsk, tsk, what he said is impeccable. In this way, it will be difficult for the princess to attack him."
…
Everyone in the Martial Palace didn't have a good impression of Chen Shaojun at first, but when they saw his courage, they couldn't help but admire him a little. Of course, there were also some who were dissatisfied:
"Humph, what's so great about it is that the ignorant are fearless. The kid from the local state capital is ignorant and dares to provoke anyone. There will be a time in the future when he will regret it!"
On the other side, Princess Jiaoyang clenched her silver teeth, clenching and unclenching her pink fists, and then clenching them again.
In the current situation, if she dares to attack Chen Shaojun, she will violate the Taizu's instructions and the rules of the martial arts palace. It may also attract the attention of the clan's mansion and make her, a princess, have no sense. However, in full view of the public, let her just do it. How easy is it to let Chen Shaojun go like this?
At least she couldn't swallow this breath.
——This is the first time someone has disobeyed her in public.
"You brat, how dare you try to bully me with your words? Do you really think that I can't deal with you?"
Princess Jiaoyang gritted her teeth in her heart, but just for a moment, Princess Jiaoyang came back to her senses. Not only did her anger disappear, but a smile appeared on her face.
"Hmph, dog slave, what kind of status do you have that makes you worthy of me fighting? I'm just talking. Come on, let's go back to the palace!"
As Princess Jiaoyang spoke, she suddenly flicked her wrist, and a gold and silver whip immediately flew out, as if it was alive, and wrapped around the two closest disciples of the Martial Palace. Amidst a burst of yelling, a whip flew out. Pull them onto the dragon's back.
Wow, before anyone could react, the dragon that was more than ten feet long immediately swung around and flew out of the hall in a winding motion.
On the ground, a group of palace guards also chased after him.
When Princess Jiaoyang left, the invisible pressure disappeared, and everyone in the Martial Palace looked up as if they had been granted amnesty, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Chen, I'm in trouble."
Chen Shaojun had just breathed a sigh of relief when a familiar voice came into his ears. Seeing Duke Rong and Duke Li walking in the crowd, Chen Shaojun frowned slightly:
"It's you!"
"Brother Chen, you were really too impulsive just now and offended the person in the palace who should not be offended."
Young Duke Yang Xuan of Qi looked at Chen Shaojun and sighed:
"Princess Jiaoyang has always been a coward. You have lost her face in front of so many people. How can she just give up? When she leaves here, she will definitely find a way to deal with you."
"No way?"
Chen Shaojun also looked surprised.
He originally thought that he had escaped disaster and at least resolved one crisis. However, according to this little Duke of Qi, the matter was not over yet.
"Brother Chen, Yang Xuan is right. In the Martial Palace, as you said, it is indeed difficult for her to attack you, but when you leave the Martial Palace, everything will be completely different. Based on our understanding of Princess Jiaoyang, she
I really won’t let you go easily.”
Xiaorong Duke Li An also came out at this time and said slowly.
He still had a good impression of this Mr. Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have come forward to remind him at this time.
"Anyway, be careful when you leave."
"I understand, thank you."
Chen Shaojun pondered for a moment and then said. Although it was still impossible for him to join Yang Xuan and the others, Chen Shaojun could also feel that the two of them did not have any ill intentions.
"By the way, what is going on with Princess Jiaoyang? Why do you feel that all of you are afraid of her? And what about the ancient ruins she mentioned? In addition, if you want to find someone to adventure in the ruins, there should be experts in the palace.
Why does she have to come to the Martial Palace to pick people?"
Chen Shaojun asked.
Civilization and martial arts are as separate as mountains. Chen Shaojun is relatively knowledgeable about the arts, but he is relatively unfamiliar with martial arts.
"This..., if you just want all kinds of magical treasures, the palace has everything. However, our Princess Sun is different, she likes adventure. In addition, the princess is not old, has a young mind, and does not like the guards in the palace.
Accompanying, I like to find companionship with people of the same age.”
Xiaorong Duke Li An explained.
"So she wants to come to the Martial Palace to arrest people?"
Chen Shaojun frowned.
"How should I put it? This Princess Jiaoyang does have some abilities. As a Tianhuang noble, she can always discover many hidden ancient ruins. The only problem is that it is far beyond our current strength. All who follow the princess can enter there.
There were heavy casualties among the people. If seven people went in, it would be good if one or two came back alive. It was a real narrow escape from death. Over time, everyone in the Martial Palace became afraid and stayed away from him."
Li An said helplessly.
For Princess Jiaoyang, exploring those ancient ruins may be for excitement or fun, but for the disciples of the Martial Palace, it is their own lives. However, the princess has a noble status, and no one else can be like Chen Jun.
Still fighting against the imperial power, so it became what it is now.
"Understood."
If Chen Shaojun has realized something, in the final analysis, she is just a royal princess who is unruly and willful and doesn't take other people's lives seriously.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. I lost. This was agreed before. Now it belongs to you."
Just when Chen Shaojun was thinking, Zhang Que's voice suddenly reached his ears.
