Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1011 Crazy Princess
Nan Duohe saw that many people were rushing over, and hurriedly said to Liu He: "My brave man, please follow me back to the inn to take shelter for a while. Even if they are very brave, they will never dare to rush into the inn to rob people."

Princess Wusun also nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes never leaving Liu He.

"Yes, the inn is safe, come in with me."

After saying this, she didn't hold back at all and reached out to pull Liu He up.

Liu He raised his hands and clasped his fists to greet the two of them: "Relax, both of you. These prodigals should have been taught a lesson long ago. The princess's body is worth a lot of money, so you should return to the inn first to avoid hurting you."

After he left these words, he suddenly shot out like a meteor.

Princess Wusun's eyes were full of admiration: "What a mighty man..."

Nan Duohe said to her: "Princess, this place is not safe, let's go back to the inn first."

However, the princess seemed to turn a deaf ear to him. After staring at Liu He's back for a while, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Nan Duohe with a very serious look.

"Nanduohe, this princess wants to recruit a prince consort."

"Ah?" Nan Duohe was stunned by her unreasonable words.

"Come on, everyone. Let this kid know how powerful I am. Come on, hurry up."

The young man jumped up and down and kept shouting.

Dozens of his guards, together with the followers of several other young masters who were particularly close to him, broke away from the battle with the imperial guards and all rushed towards Liu He.

Liu He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched his arms backwards, and twisted his neck: "I haven't fought for a long time, I need to stretch these old bones."

After saying that, he put his hands on his hips and bent forward.

The young master sneered: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you only know to beg for mercy now, but it's too late."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Liu He straightened up almost instantly, and his hands, which were originally on his waist, turned into two steel hammers and suddenly swung out.

"Boom..."

A pair of bare hands collided directly with the weapons of the two thugs. Liu He leaned forward and changed his fist into a palm, instantly grasping the opponent's knife handle.

"go."

After a light shout, the two long swords fell out of Liu He's hands and were snatched away. Then, he chopped the long swords with the momentum. After two crisp "clang" sounds, the weapons of two enemy guards were chopped off on the spot.

"Wow... so powerful and brave." Princess Wusun stared at him and praised him again and again.

Nan Duohe looked anxious: "Princess, it is better to return to the inn first."

Princess Wusun was very reluctant: "I am not afraid. With this warrior, I am safe."

Yang Xiu, who was standing across the street, looked at everything with an expression that said "the world is under his control".

"General Zhang, thanks for reminding you, right? Look at the woman's eyes, she looks like she wants to marry His Majesty. Tsk tsk tsk, just think about it, if you mess up such a good thing, His Majesty will chop you to pieces, right?"

Zhang He was also secretly thankful: "Mr. Yang's advice will be remembered by me, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Gong Saner on the side glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything.

On Liu He's side, he displayed his prowess. In a blink of an eye, he knocked down nearly half of the hundred fighters. Although many weapons attacked him in an overwhelming manner, none of them could get close to him.

Liu He moved among the crowd with ease, looking rather uninterested.

"Ah, it's boring, really boring. Is this the only ability of the guards that these children of the big families in Luoyang City bring with them? Compared with the most ordinary soldiers in the army, they are far inferior. With such ability, how can they protect your masters?"

His ridicule made many young masters furious.

"All of you, come on. Don't fight with the imperial guards. Let us kill this ignorant boy first."

More than ten young masters gave orders at the same time, and hundreds of thugs all rushed towards Liu He.

Just at this moment, a loud shout was heard.

"Stop it!"

The voice was extremely loud and powerful, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw a man in general's armor, leading another team of imperial guards, walking quickly towards me.

When Nan Duohe saw this person appear, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Captain Ma is here, we are safe."

Captain Ma was full of murderous aura and had a fierce face. It was obvious at first glance that he was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years. He came in front of the crowd and took a quick look.

"How dare you harass the inns where foreign envoys are stationed, and even engage in armed conflict with the imperial guards without authorization. This is simply a disregard for the law. Come, arrest all of you for me, the general."

"Wait." Several young men stood up.

"Do you know who we are? How dare you arrest us?"

Captain Ma glanced at them and sneered, "I know. They are just the dandies of some wealthy families in the city. Not to mention you, even if your parents came, they would not dare to disrupt the inn, let alone provoke the imperial guards."

"you……"

"Shut up. Your behavior, at the very least, disturbs the peace of the capital. At the most, it is a disregard for discipline and disregard for His Majesty. Even now, you still don't know how to reflect on yourself and dare to be so arrogant. Ma has always only recognized His Majesty and military discipline. His Majesty has issued an order that anyone who dares to trespass into the inn will be shot on the spot. Do you want to try?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those young masters seemed to feel a murderous aura coming towards them, causing them to involuntarily take a step back.

Zhang He looked at the captain Ma with a face full of praise. "Captain Ma is upright and unafraid of the powerful. He is a talented person. I wonder which general trained him?"

Gong Saner continued, "As far as I know, this Captain Ma was under the command of the former general. He was transferred back to the Luoyang Imperial Guard three years ago and served as a captain in one of the armies. He was recently sent by His Majesty to take full charge of the guarding of the inn."

"Ah, so he is from Yunchang's army. No wonder. With Yunchang's character, the soldiers he trained should naturally have some arrogance."

Zhang He showed admiration on his face.

Yang Xiu said, "General, now it's your turn to show up."

"Hmm? Ah?" Zhang He was a little unresponsive.

Yang Xiu pointed at Liu He and said, "Your Majesty is in disguise now. General Ma is a rough man and will not recognize you. Do you want to see Your Majesty being arrested and thrown into prison?"

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Zhang He slapped his forehead hard, then ran out with big strides.

Captain Ma waved his hand and shouted, "Capture them all and send them to Luoyang Prison to await trial and conviction."

"You...you dare."

"How dare you, a mere lieutenant...ah, what are you going to do?"

Teams of imperial guards came quickly and arrested all the young masters and their followers and thugs without saying a word.

Just when several imperial guards were about to attack Liu He, Princess Wusun hurriedly stopped them.

"Wait, he...he came to save me, you can't catch him."

Captain Ma looked at her nonchalantly and said, "If he breaks into the post house, he will be punished. Although he came to help, it is not for me to decide whether he is guilty or not, and whether he can be pardoned."

"But……"

"No buts. Whether you are foreign envoys, princesses, or maids, it has nothing to do with me. I only know how to act in accordance with the laws of the court and the will of His Majesty."

Captain Ma interrupted the Wusun princess.

Princess Wusun wanted to make a few more arguments, but was stopped by Nanduohe: "Your Highness, this is the affairs of the Han Dynasty, we cannot interfere. When the time comes, I will go to their government office and testify for this warrior, proving that he is indeed here to help protect the inn, not to cause trouble. I think this will keep him safe."

But even though he said that, Princess Wusun still looked at Liu He with eyes full of worry.

But Captain Ma didn't care about that. He shouted angrily, "What are you guys still standing there for? Why don't you arrest them?"

Liu He put his hands behind his back and had no intention of resisting. He allowed the two imperial guards to put ropes around him.

"How dare you not help me?"

Zhang He came in front of Liu He and pushed the two imperial guards away. "General Zhang? Why are you here?" Captain Ma was a little confused.

Zhang He turned a deaf ear to his words, picked up the rope on Liu He and threw it aside, then knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue."

With just one sentence, everyone present was stunned.

Those young masters looked at Liu He with their mouths wide open: "He...he...he he he...he is..."

Captain Ma quickly came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I have seen His Majesty many times in the army. He is not that person at all. General Zhang, are you confused?"

Zhang He turned his head and glared at him fiercely: "You blind man, why don't you come and apologize?"

"Never mind. Ignorance is not a crime."

Liu He said this lazily, reaching out to pull away the beard stuck on his face.

"I am dressed like this so that no one can see me. It is reasonable that he cannot recognize me. Everyone, get up."

When Captain Ma saw this, he became flustered and was about to kneel down.

"Hey, I just said that ignorance is not a crime, are you going to disobey my order?"

Liu He's voice was so intimidating without even being angry that Captain Ma stopped kneeling halfway and then stood up again.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"You don't need to thank me. I will not pursue the matter of you arresting me. I will still pursue the rest of your crimes."

Liu He's words made Captain Ma fall to his knees with a plop.

Liu He glanced at him and said, "You are responsible for the safety of the post station, but you failed to conduct a thorough investigation and make careful arrangements, which led to the scoundrels to disrupt the envoys and disrupt our laws and regulations, bringing shame to our Han Dynasty. You should be executed. However, considering that you can remedy the situation in time and are not afraid of power, I will spare you the death penalty, demote you three levels, and demote you to a military marquis. Go to guard Hulao Pass today."

"I thank your majesty for not killing me."

Captain Ma kowtowed three times to Liu He, stood up and walked straight towards the city gate.

At this point, the young masters finally reacted and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"We really didn't know that Your Majesty was here. Please forgive us, Your Majesty..."

Liu He didn't even bother to look at them, and waved his hand and said, "Drag them away and throw them into jail to await trial."

Amid their cries and pleas for mercy, Liu He slowly walked up to the Princess Wusun.

"I was not careful for a moment and frightened you two."

Nan Duohe was flattered and said hurriedly: "No, no, I dare not. Today I know your majesty's divine power. No wonder the Han Dynasty can be so powerful. After I return, I will definitely publicize your majesty's divine power and grace to our king and subjects."

"Haha, this is the best."

Liu He made a "please" gesture towards the inn: "You two, please go back to the inn to rest..."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Wusun suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, I like you. Please marry me."

"Huh? What?" Liu He was stunned.

Nan Duohe was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe, and his old face turned red: "Princess... Your Highness, don't talk nonsense..."

The princess didn't care at all. She stared at Liu He and repeated very seriously: "My name is Ilia, I am the third princess of Wusun country, I am seventeen this year, I like you, and I want you to be my consort."

"Your Highness, shut up." Nanduohe didn't care about the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, and directly covered Ilia's mouth with his hand.

"This is the Emperor of the Han Empire. How could he be the consort of our Wusun Kingdom?"

"Woo..." Ilia struggled to get rid of him and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I like him. I don't care whether he is an emperor or a tramp. I just want to marry him."

Liu He's eyelids twitched when he heard this: "Haha...haha, women from the Western Regions are really...really straightforward."

Princess Wusun was unyielding: "Tell me, do you like me? Are you willing to marry me?"

"How dare you!" Without waiting for Liu He to answer, Gong San'er shouted angrily, "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I already have a queen. How can I marry another woman? If your Wusun country wants to send a princess to marry, she can only be taken as a concubine by your majesty at most. How dare you have the greed to marry her?"

"Stop talking too much." Liu He scolded, and Gong Saner quickly apologized and left.

Liu He said to the princess in a friendly manner: "The princess is very beautiful and has a very pleasing personality. How can I not like her? However..."

"So you like me? That's great, then when are you going to marry me? I think, how about today? I'm so happy, Nan Duohe, come on, prepare a dress for me..."

Liu He looked at the princess, who was talking to herself and jumping around, and his eyes twitched: "She's a good girl, how come she has such a personality... a little... a little neurotic..."

Given the beauty of the Princess Wusun, it would be impossible for Liu He, a normal man, to not be tempted. However, Liu He has been on the throne for many years now, so he is naturally not the kind of person who would be impatient for sex, and he has considered more.

Nan Duohe apologized, "I brought the princess into the delegation without informing you. I deserve death. Now the princess has offended your majesty again. Please... please forgive me. When I return to my country, I will ask the king to send more tribute to show my sincerity in atonement."

There were beads of sweat on his forehead and he looked very nervous.

Liu He smiled and said, "Haha, your princess is just a child, I won't take it to heart. But this marriage is a serious matter, so let's wait until we have received the letter from the envoy. If your ruler has time, he can come to Luoyang in person and then we can discuss it formally."

He neither agreed nor refused. After all, between the two countries, the Han Dynasty was the suzerain and the Wusun was only a vassal state. If they wanted to marry the princess into the Han royal family, it should be the Wusun Kingdom that took the initiative. How could Liu He, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, go to another country to ask for marriage for a woman?

However, when Princess Wusun heard this, she felt that Liu He had already agreed to the marriage, otherwise why would she need to see her father? In this way, she could not help but cheer again.

"Alright, alright. As a token of my apology for what happened today, I will arrange separate accommodation for your delegation. Someone will come to take you there later. I am busy with state affairs, so I will return to the palace first."

"Your Majesty is greeted respectfully by this foreign minister."

After Nanduohe sent Liu He away, he looked at the princess who was still excited beside him and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It was a close call... It was a close call..."

He rubbed his chest and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but on second thought, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"Hey...if the princess can really become the imperial concubine of the Han emperor, then wouldn't our Wusun country become a relative of the Han? At that time, which country in the entire Western Regions would not be courteous to our country? How could they not gain more benefits from the trade with the Han? Well, this matter is of great benefit. When I return to my country, I will definitely find a way to facilitate it. By then, I will become the first contributor to the diplomatic relations between the two countries..."

On the way back to the palace, Liu He suddenly said, "Yang Xiu, it was you who stopped Jun Yi from coming to rescue the emperor, wasn't it?"

Yang Xiu did not deny it: "Your Majesty, it was indeed done by me."

Liu He didn't ask the reason, but praised: "You are smart and you have guessed a lot of things."

Yang Xiu lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, this is not the only thing I have guessed."

"Oh? Anything else?" Liu He's interest was piqued.

Yang Xiu said proudly: "I also know that those nobles suddenly appeared at the gate of the inn and fought with the imperial guards to rob a person who was believed to be a maid of the foreign envoys. This was not accidental, but was deliberately arranged by Your Majesty."

Liu He was also a little surprised: "Oh? Why do you think so?"

"Very simple. As far as I know, although this Wusun princess has been in the capital for many days, she has always lived in seclusion and has never shown her face. In the past few days, she has only shown her peerless beauty once in the Laotao Alley. And given the character of these nobles in the past, they disdain to eat in such places, so they naturally have never seen the beauty of the princess with their own eyes. Although these people are dandy, I know them well. They are fierce and timid, and have few opinions. They will never have the courage to come to the inn to cause trouble or even rob people just based on a few hearsays."

Liu He raised his eyebrows: "Go on."

Yang Xiu seemed to be encouraged and spoke a little faster.

"The only possibility is that someone close to them secretly instigated them, exaggerated the princess's appearance, and even analyzed the pros and cons of the consequences of the incident with them one by one, and explained in detail how it would end. They also deliberately linked these ten people together to encourage each other, so that they dared to do such a reckless thing."

Although Yang Xiu lowered his head and bent his body when he said this, his excitement and self-satisfaction were evident on his face.

"Pah, pah, pah..." Liu He clapped his hands a few times. "As expected of you, you are the eldest son of the Grand Marshal. You are indeed smart. I hope that in the future you can carry forward this intelligence in the teaching of the Imperial Academy and train and select more talents for the court. Otherwise..."

When he said the last two words, Liu He's tone suddenly changed, and even Zhang He and Gong Saner could hear a hint of murderous intent. However, Yang Xiu was in high spirits at the moment and was completely unaware of this. He only heard the previous words praising him, which made him even more encouraged.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to your grace."
