Chapter 426: The Queen – the Fisherman?! (1/2)

This unexpected scene shocked the youth. He had done this so many times before, but this was definitely the first time he saw this kind of unresponsive result.

What the hell is this guy?!

However, Bai Xiaofei didn’t know what he was surprised at, he only knew that his chance had come!

Huskie, who had stayed with the crown prince, had already informed Commander Kang about what had transpired, and they were now on the way to his rescue. As long as Bai Xiaofei delayed the other party until then, the situation wouldn’t be completely out of control.

“Sorry, I don’t need to feel any unwarranted ‘insanity’ for what I didn’t do. Even if someone should feel so, it should be you.” Bai Xiaofei looked at the third prince as he said this, simply ignoring the youth. The fellow wasn’t someone Bai Xiaofei could scare, but the third prince was a different story. “Am I right, His Royal Highness Third Prince who killed his father and attempted to murder his own brother?”

Upon this declaration, everyone present exclaimed in shock while Gu Li’s face instantly went pale. He couldn’t afford to be imposed with such a heavy sin!

“Men, capture this nonsense of an assassin!” In his panic, the third prince immediately ordered Bai Xiaofei’s capture. However, the latter took out a token from his chest pocket.

“With the crown prince’s imperial token here, who dares?!” shouted Bai Xiaofei. The guards instantly halted and looked at one another. No one dared to take a step.

“You lot want to die? You don’t know who your master is?!” yelled the third prince, strengthening his guards’ confidence…

Until Bai Xiaofei spoke again.

“After the emperor passes away, the crown prince is to legally ascend to the throne. Make a move against me and you’ll be opposing the crown prince. You think the connection between your head and neck is strong enough for that?”

The guards once again stopped and their stand once again swayed. In this big world, their own lives were the most important! As mere workers, they couldn’t afford to get involved in this kind of imperial power dispute!

At this moment, the youth, having recovered from the shock, took out a scroll from his storage ring. Seeing this scroll, Bai Xiaofei furrowed his brows.

“His Majesty the Late Emperor’s imperial edict: the crown prince is unfilial and has been deposed. The throne is to be inherited by the third prince. Why aren’t you lot capturing this traitor?!”

With an imperial edict, the guards were completely reassured and started to move.

“Interesting, I also happen to have an imperial edict with content that is just the opposite of yours! The third prince colluded with the Globe Merchant House with intentions to usurp the throne, anyone can kill him!” Bai Xiaofei also took out a scroll. The rushing guards stopped again.

For a moment, the third prince and the youth were floored as well. Never in their wildest dreams could they have expected Bai Xiaofei to pull out one countermeasure after another. And the most crucial thing was that he could completely ignore the youth’s spirit attack!

Or else, an unconscious Bai Xiaofei would basically be theirs to execute as they pleased. Too bad this was only their expectations. Sometimes, there were disparities between expectations and reality.

As the two parties were locked in a stalemate, Commander Kang leading a group of Royal Guards arrived and surrounded everyone.

“Put down your weapons or be executed on the spot!” As Commander Kang’s vigorous voice rang out, the guards all felt relieved.

Finally, they no longer had to struggle!

In this round of confrontation, it could be said that neither side had the upper hand, and the stalemate benefited neither side. The third prince needed a quick victory, while Bai Xiaofei’s identity was now sensitive.
