Chapter 212 - Duke Qing's Wrath
When Xiao Yu left, Princess Heran was so frightened that she stood at the edge of the stage, not daring to say a single word from beginning to end.
She was scared!
Princess Heran had always been aloof and aloof, never putting the Humble Class fighters in her eyes. One could easily stand at the top of a position and be generous with ferns, reprimanding petty people. But today, she had personally witnessed Xiao Yu's elegance. He completely disregarded the noble position of the Heran Family. Kill the four great warriors, kill until they become older, severely injure He Lanbai, and finally indirectly kill even the young master of the Duke Qing!
Such a terrifying youth was even more terrifying than devils. He, Princess Heran, was only an eighteen-year-old girl. How could he not be trembling with fear?
The crowd dispersed.
”This is crazy. Originally, everything was fine for the coming of age ceremony, but in the end, they were disturbed by a young man called Xiao Yu. Isn't this youth Xiao Yu not afraid of offending all of the nobles in the capital? ”
”But this Xiao Yu is so powerful! Eighteen years old, and he could defeat He Lanbai with a single sword strike. If not for Xiao Yu stopping in the end, I'm afraid He Lanbai would have been killed by Xiao Yu! ”
”Terrifying! was afraid that he was going to go crazy for revenge. The Duke Qing must be going crazy too! Xiao Yu's good days are over! ”
”I've really never seen such a foolish youth!”
”…”
The crowd quickly disappeared. The only people left in the hall were the servants and maids of Duke Heran's mansion. There was also Princess Hera and He Lanbai.
Princess Hera walked to He Lanbai's side in a daze and bent down to look at her father, ”Father, are your injuries alright?”
He Lanbai struggled to answer: ”Fortunately, Xiao Yu held back at the end, so I was able to survive, if not I would have been chopped to death by him!”
Hiss!
Princess Heran sucked in a breath of cold air, ”I really never expected that Xiao Yu's strength would actually be this terrifying! I can't take this lying down. Father, we can't just let this go! We must talk about Xiao Yu's decapitation, and completely exterminate him! ”
He Lanbai's face was pale and his entire body was covered in blood, ”This matter shall end here. ”We can't let this matter get any bigger!”
Princess Heran was puzzled. ”Why? Just one Xiao Yu that caused our Duke Palaces to suffer such a huge loss, you actually want us to just forget about it, Father? ”
He Lanbai sighed: ”In the end, this matter is Zhang Qing's fault. If this really goes to the Jing Zhao yamen, we won't be able to end it. His Majesty was in his prime right now, and he was trying to clean up the place. The Jing Zhao yamen was not a place to joke about. If this matter gets out of hand, it will be even more disadvantageous for us! ”
Princess Heran gritted her teeth and said, ”But we can't just let it go like this either!”
He Lanbai said: ”Forget it, our Duke Palace has suffered such a great loss. We will need a very long time to recuperate and recover our strength. I will leave the rest to Duke Qing. We can incite the Duke Qing a little. Duke Qing would lose his beloved son, and easily lose all reason to take revenge. In this way, the time of Xiao Yu's death would also come! But in the end, whether Duke Qing is completely fine or not, all of that will be up to us! ”
Princess Heran asked, ”But is Zhang Qing really my fiancé?”
He Lanbai coldly said: ”Zhang Qing is fundamentally unworthy to be your fiance; he's just a thing inferior to pigs and dogs. If this thing dies, then so be it. ”What's the big deal!”
Princess Heran gritted her teeth, not saying a word. However, her eyes were clearly filled with unwillingness and anger. That was a deep hatred she had for Xiao Yu!
Deep in her heart, Princess Heran clenched her teeth and spoke each word: Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, just you wait. Even if my father does not intend to pursue the matter, I, He Lan, will definitely pursue the matter to the end. If I don't tear you into a million pieces, I swear I won't be a human.
Duke Qing Mansion.
The distance from the manor was several dozen li, not too far. What was different from Duke Heran's Palace was that Duke Qing Residence was even more imposing and luxurious. According to the ranking of the empire's officials, the duke and duke ranks were the same. In fact, the position of a duke was slightly lower than that of a duke.
Of course, this was only a rough equivalent division. In terms of specifics, it still depended on the strength of the duke and the duke themselves. Some nobles only lived up to their reputations, not even as good as dogs and pigs. Some dukes were extremely powerful, and even princes had to give them face.
The Duke Qing was considered to be the lowest ranking country in the empire. His status was not high, just a little lower than the county prince. However, the Duke Qing was very strong and had the support of military merits. Therefore, although it was just a small duke, it couldn't be underestimated.
This time round, Zhang Qing and He Lan's marriage of love was still the act of the Duke Heran Palace taking the initiative to attach themselves to the Duke Qing.
Although the title of Duke Heran had the word 'King' in it, in terms of strength and military merits, he was far inferior to the Duke Qing!
At this very moment, in a courtyard in the Duke Qing Palace, a forty year old middle-aged man wearing a long, loose white robe was slowly fighting in a bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest was very big, and Lin Tao was present. However, this man's punches and kicks caused the entire forest to sway!
The man's fist slowly moved to the left, and all the bamboos in the entire bamboo forest seemed to be pulled to the left by a strong pulling force. They actually tilted to the left. When the man's fist tilted to the right, the bamboo bent to the right.
His aura seemed to cover the entire bamboo forest, affecting every single movement within it.
This man was Duke Qing!
A powerful existence that relied on military merits to rise to prominence!
If an outsider were to see this scene, they would probably be shocked speechless!
