143 The Defiance (1/2)

“It seems they are here to look for some lucky profits.” Lan Langlang sneered. He tried so hard to separate his two pupils. After spitting on the floor, he said, “In the past, we military forces were powerful. They never dared to raise their heads in front of us… Now our biggest support has just left, and they would show their defiance right away. Their useless fathers are all cowardly staying in the capital after all. Of course they felt good about it… Obviously, they are here to show us some authority.”

Zuo Wuji coughed heavily and said, “Lang! Mind your words… What do you mean military forces…?”

Lan Langlang rolled his eyes and realized that Zuo Wuji was once on the other side. So he smiled and said, “Zuo Zuo, you are different. You left the dark side and came to our side. You have come to the bright side!”

Zuo Wuji sighed speechlessly, [I left the group of a bunch of foppish lords and joined the ‘three lords in town’ - another bunch of foppish lords… Where is the ‘dark and bright’ part?

Is the ‘three lords in town’ a better title?

I am afraid it is even worse…

What do you mean come to the bright side?

I must be in the dark side at the moment. No… That is abusing myself right now!

Fine. I came to the bright side indeed!

Wait, that’s not cool either. I am still disgracing myself. Lan Langlang, you prick. What were you talking about! I am abusing myself either way!]

Let’s skip Lord Zuo’s thoughts. Ye Xiao was staring at those guys.

He kept his eyes half-closed. He just felt a furious fire burning inside his heart at the moment.

He blinked and then found one guy that he was familiar with.

The son of the Chief Guard of the Crown Prince’s Palace, Wang Xiaonian.

At the moment, he was staring at Ye Xiao fiercely with his eyes full of anger.

He was hiding behind the group of foppish lads. It looked like these lads were the ones who were stirring things. Ye Xiao showed a strange smile after all.

[So… the wise Crown Prince truly doesn’t know anything about this, huh?]

He thought about the honorable king who had just stood on the wall earlier wearing a shiny yellow robe. And he looked at these fools who were wearing foppish stupid clothes with useless and coward faces…

He had smile filled with disdain.

“We need to be careful on this anyway… If we get into any serious problems, it will never be a good thing for any of us.” Zuo Wuji reminded, “The army has just left after all. Even if we are forced to join the fight against them, it will bring a rather negative influence… Their fathers are all in the court. We are not a match to them at the moment. Let’s step back for some day. Things will get better.”

Ye Xiao smiled blandly and didn’t answer him.

He thought about the words Song Jue had said once, “Prince Hua-Yang is supporting all the families of the military side”!

He didn’t truly understand it until now.

Prince Hua-Yang had just left the city and those guys had already come to make trouble.

The military side and the political side were always against each other. They were always comparing with each other. One side was stronger while the other weaker, and then it switched after some time. Yet these fellas from the political side were really picking the wrong day. They were either lacking brains or their brains were filled with mushrooms!

Thinking about this, Ye Xiao turned around and looked at Song Jue.

He saw Song Jue holding his arms on the chest and sat on the carriage with his eyes looking at those fellas coldly. There was a killing intent inside his eyes though.

Obviously, Song Jue was even fiercer than Ye Xiao. He was already thinking about killing now!

Ye Xiao didn’t doubt that Song Jue would definitely attack with no mercy once things began.

He was still thinking, yet the fellas were so close to them now. There were also dozens of men following behind them. They were actually riding their horses and surrounded Ye Xiao and his group. They were threatening Ye Xiao’s group with numbers.

The horses kept ringing and howling. The horse steps were also annoying.

“Zuo Wuji!” The grandson of the Right Prime Minister, Li Chengze, waved his hand and said, “You better move aside. We are not here for you today! Be a good boy and stay aside. We won’t beat you then!”

Zuo Wuji sneered, “Beat me? You?”

Li Chengze was furious and spoke in a fierce tone, “Zuo Wuji, I strongly suggest that you should listen to me resignedly! Do you really think we don’t dare to touch you just because your grandfather is the Zuo Prime Minister? If you dare to piss me, I will beat your ass up too! You will be the first one to fall!”

Zuo Wuji wasn’t scared at all. He raised his head and said proudly, “You want to beat me? Do you need an additional gut to do that? Maybe I can lend you some!”

Li Chengze showed fierceness in his eyes and nodded slowly, “Zuo Wuji, you better remember what you have said. Wait and see! Don’t cry later!”
