Chapter 240 Conflict
The carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion galloped recklessly on the wide streets.
Along the way, whether it was vehicles or pedestrians, they avoided it as if it were a plague, trying to avoid it as much as possible.
The bustling street was forced to make way for an empty, straight road.
The coachman was already used to this.
The several white horses pulling the cart all have the blood of monsters, and are strong and sturdy. When they charge at full speed, martial artists below the fourth level dare not withstand them with their physical bodies.
What's more, most of the people on this street are ordinary people with no cultivation.
There are really people who are blind and blocking the road. They deserve to be hit to death.
"Who is driving so arrogantly on the street?"
Wang Shishi saw the crowd not far away making way for each other, and the accompanying sound of horse hooves sounded like an urgent drum urging them to march. She couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and peek over there curiously.
"It's the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Zhou Qingyu took a look through the carriage window and lost interest.
In the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were many dandy young men who liked to gallop on horseback in the streets, and the Ninth Prince was the most domineering and lawless among them.
However, the main street of Ruicaifang is ten feet wide. Even though the Ninth Prince's carriage is rushing around like this, it cannot affect them, so Zhou Qingyu naturally ignores it.
"Oh."
Wang Shishi also lost interest and looked away.
The wide main street of Ruicaifang is large enough to accommodate the team from Xia Zhou Mansion and the carriage from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
No matter how overbearing the coachman of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was, he would not lead the carriage towards the Zhou Mansion's team.
The two groups should have kept to themselves and lived in peace with each other.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
A little girl who was hiding on the side suddenly became confused and stumbled towards the empty road in front of the Ninth Prince's carriage, which the crowd had made way for.
She stared blankly at the carriage that was speeding towards her, without dodging or avoiding it.
There was a sudden commotion among the crowds on both sides of the road.
When the coachman driving the Ninth Prince's carriage saw this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Instead of avoiding the girl, he waved the whip in his hand, making the carriage go faster.
In the crowd, some people screamed, some exclaimed, and some shouted loudly, asking the girl to quickly get out of the way.
But no one dared to step forward.
Because it was the prince's carriage.
No one was willing to take the risk of offending a prince for a strange girl.
Zhou Qingyu had already looked away.
But her attention was once again drawn to the commotion of the crowd.
Zhou Qingyu lifted the curtain and looked over there. The next moment, his pupils shrank slightly.
“Help!”
Following Zhou Qingyu's order.
Danqing touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air.
There are quite a few guards in the third realm in the team, but in terms of combat power, the one with the strongest combat power is Danqing, who is only one step away from the fourth realm and has cultivated the sword intent.
In the capital city where the abilities of cultivators in the middle three realms are suppressed, she is the strongest combat force except for the upper three realms.
At this time, Danqing was still some distance away from the girl, and the galloping horse was only a few feet away from the girl. It was obviously too late to stop the horse.
Danqing made a quick decision and drew his sword in mid-air.
At the same time, the horse's mane was flying and its iron hooves were raised high.
The girl just stared blankly, neither dodging nor avoiding.
The crowd suddenly became silent.
Some people have covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of blood and flesh splattering and bones and tendons broken.
Just when the girl was about to be trampled by the iron hoofs.
The clear sound of a sword broke the silence, and a dark purple sword energy a few feet long came like a crescent moon, cutting several galloping horses in half.
"boom!"
Inside the carriage, the compartment shook violently, and the Ninth Prince was thrown hard against the wall by inertia.
"what happened?"
The ninth prince was shocked and angry. He stood up, lifted the curtain, and looked at the coachman with a look that was almost spitting fire.
"How do you drive?"
Facing the furious Ninth Prince, the groom trembled with fear and pointed his finger forward in panic.
"Your Highness, it's her..."
The Ninth Prince followed his gaze.
I saw the crowd in front of me split into two sides.
Not far away, a young woman stood in the middle of the road.
She held the sword in one hand and held the girl in her arms with the other.
The Ninth Prince's eyes fell on the white horses that had been cut in half. He instantly understood what had happened and was filled with anger.
He laughed in anger: "Okay, okay, I want to see who dares to interfere in my affairs."
After saying that, he kicked the groom down.
The groom fell flat on his face, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He quickly crawled to the feet of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince stepped on his back to get off the carriage.
After him, Yan Niang also walked down gracefully.
She looked at Zhou Qingyu and others who were walking towards her not far away, and a meaningful look appeared in her eyes.
She was under orders from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lurk beside the Ninth Prince.
Over the past few months, Yan Niang has been in hiding, and the Prince's Mansion has never contacted her in order to ensure the secrecy of her identity.
Just yesterday, Yan Niang received an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out of hiding and whisper in the Ninth Prince's ear, fanning the flames and urging him to take action against Wang Shishi.
The little girl just now was naturally arranged by their people.
The Zhou family has a fine family tradition and is known as "three gentlemen in one family".
As the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingyu had received such education since childhood that how could she bear to watch a little girl bleed to death under the iron hoofs?
So Zhou Qingyu would choose to save people, and this would inevitably lead to a conflict with the domineering Ninth Prince.
Wang Shishi was also present at the same time.
Zhou Qingyu and Wang Shishi are both beautiful women, and each of them makes the Ninth Prince salivate.
Although Zhou Qingyu, as Su An's fiancée, has not yet held an engagement ceremony, this is already a well-known fact to many dignitaries in the capital.
Therefore, no matter how lustful the Ninth Prince was, he would not attack Zhou Qingyu because of such an incident.
Then his attention will naturally be focused on Wang Shishi.
Then Yan Niang instigated the Ninth Prince to attack her, and the Crown Prince's goal was achieved.
At this time, the girl had regained consciousness. She realized what had happened and hid behind Danqing in panic, hugging Danqing's thighs tightly.
Danqing rubbed her head and comforted her in a gentle voice.
The Ninth Prince, accompanied by a group of followers, walked towards Danqing aggressively.
As he got closer, the Ninth Prince saw Danqing's face clearly and his eyes lit up.
She has a cool and pretty face, looks serious, and has a tall and straight figure. She is wearing a tight black outfit that outlines her slender and agile body.
She was clearly dressed as a maid, but her eyes and brows held the sternness of a swordsman.
The Ninth Prince stared at Danqing's cold face, with covetousness in his eyes, and there was a burst of heat in his eyes.
For him, there are two types of women who are the most attractive.
One type is the young ladies of noble status. Those aristocratic women who have lived a life of luxury are often ignorant of the ways of the world. In bed, when the Ninth Prince watches them enjoying themselves under him, he feels a kind of blasphemous pleasure in his heart.
One type is the cold-tempered woman in front of him. They are often very fierce and will not give in even when facing the threat of death. However, once you find their weakness and control them, they will be at his mercy. This type of woman can best satisfy his desire for conquest.
Danqing obviously belongs to the latter.
In the heart of the Ninth Prince, this cold and aloof woman is already his.
Facing the Ninth Prince's naked gaze, Danqing remained expressionless and serious.
She looked at a carriage not far away, surrounded by many guards, which was driving quickly towards her.
A gentle and pretty girl with picturesque features walked down. She was wearing a light blue gauze dress, and had a slim and charming figure, with the aura of a lady from a noble family.
The Ninth Prince's attention was instantly attracted to Zhou Qingyu again.
Yanniang also knew about the Ninth Prince's preferences.
The prince wanted to win over Su An instead of fighting him to the death.
So before the Ninth Prince went into heat, Yan Niang reminded him in a sweet voice.
"Your Highness, this person seems to be Zhou Qingyu from the Zhou Mansion."
"It was they who had the audacity to stop your carriage."
Yanniang sounded indignant, as if she was angry on behalf of the Ninth Prince.
Upon hearing this, the fire in the Ninth Prince's eyes subsided a little, and he looked at Zhou Qingyu and frowned.
The Ninth Prince participated in many improv events on a daily basis, but he was not interested in any poetry gatherings, nor had he entered the Zhaowu Academy or the Guanwenxue Palace to practice.
His life trajectory is almost completely different from Zhou Qingyu's.
So he had heard of Zhou Qingyu, but had no impression of her appearance.
She is Zhou Qingyu, Su An’s fiancée?
pity.
The cold woman seemed to be Zhou Qingyu's maid, and he was thinking of taking the master and servant into the room together.
