If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

evildoer?

Possession?

To disrupt the court?

These earth-shattering remarks left everyone in the hall stunned.

Wang Chong and the others stared wide-eyed, their minds blank, barely able to think.

Has Qin Feng gone mad?

He hit the crown prince, but instead of begging for mercy, he turned the tables and accused the crown prince of being possessed by a demon.

What an utterly absurd excuse!

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Xia Yuanhao gritted his teeth: "Qin Feng, you're about to die, yet you still dare to spread these heretical rumors! Guards! Take this madman away—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Qin Feng moved, throwing a punch at Xia Yuanhao's distorted handsome face!

This punch was filled with boundless rage and killing intent!

boom!

A muffled thud!

Qin Feng's fist slammed solidly into Xia Yuanhao's nose!

"Aaaaaah!"

Xia Yuanhao let out a piercing scream as his nasal bone broke on the spot, sending him flying backward. His two bloody teeth traced an arc in the air.

Before he even landed!

Qin Feng followed closely, lunging forward again, grabbing his collar and forcefully pulling him down from mid-air!

"You monster, how dare you try to argue!"

Then, he swung his other fist and slammed it down again!

boom! boom! boom!

One punch!

Another punch!

Qin Feng completely lost his temper, treating the high and mighty Crown Prince of Great Xia like a human punching bag, raining down punches on his body and face!

"Aaaaah... Qin Feng, how dare you hit me?!"

"I will exterminate your entire clan!!"

"Wang Chong! You bunch of useless fools! Come and save the day!"

Xia Yuanhao was initially still roaring wildly, threatening Qin Feng with the most vicious language.

However, all he received in return was an even more ferocious punch!

Wang Chong and the other noble young men, swords in hand, were all ashen-faced and their legs were weak; not one of them dared to take a step forward.

Are you kidding me?

Even Ning Xiao, the Crown Prince's most powerful general, was nearly killed by a single punch.

Qin Feng was now in a bloodthirsty rage; anyone who dared to approach would die.

They just wanted to follow the Crown Prince and act arrogantly, but they didn't want to risk their lives!

"Ah! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

"Qin Feng... I was wrong!"

Soon, Xia Yuanhao's threats turned into painful wails, and finally into incoherent pleas for mercy.

The girls kneeling on the ground, along with the group of wealthy young men, were all dumbfounded.

The crown prince, who previously regarded human life as worthless and held the power of life and death, was now bruised and battered, crying and wailing. Where was his dignity?

Qin Feng ignored him and continued to punch him relentlessly.

He was not beating the crown prince.

Instead, it's an outlet for their pent-up frustrations!

It's about seeking justice for those innocent girls who died tragically!

"When a wild man witnesses injustice, he sharpens the eternal sword within his heart!"

As Qin Feng fought, he let out a long howl that shook the palace.

"Though I die a hero, my spirit will remain fragrant; I am worthy of being a hero of this world!"

"Today, I, Qin Feng, will uphold justice and rid the people of evil!"

"Hahaha... How wonderful! How wonderful!"

His laughter was hearty, and his punches were powerful and fierce.

Just then!

"Who's making such a racket here!"

"Protect His Highness!"

"There's an assassin!"

Outside the main hall, a series of hurried footsteps and the clanging of armor finally came from outside.

Splash!

Hundreds of imperial guards, dressed in fine armor and wielding sharp blades, surged in like a tide, completely surrounding the hall!

The front row consisted of swordsmen and shield bearers, the rear row of spearmen, and at the very back, dozens of archers and crossbowmen with their bows drawn and arrows nocked, the cold arrowheads all aimed at Qin Feng in the hall!

A chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire area!

Upon seeing this, Wang Chong and the others were overjoyed, as if they had found their pillar of support.

"Traitor Qin Feng! You're dead!"

"Release His Highness the Crown Prince! Surrender!"

However, Qin Feng remained undaunted.

He finally stopped punching, casually picked up the already dying Xia Yuanhao, and held him in front of himself.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade was drawn once more, its cold blade pressed against Xia Yuanhao's neck.

"Everyone, stand back!"

"Prepare a fast horse and escort him outside the palace! Otherwise, I'll kill him on the spot!"

The commander of the guards was shocked and furious at the sight, but dared not make any rash moves. He could only turn his pleading gaze to Xia Yuanhao, who was being held hostage.

"Your Highness..."

"Do...do as he says!"

Xia Yuanhao was terrified and no longer cared about his dignity as the crown prince. He pleaded urgently:

"Quick! Let him go!"

"Qin Feng! Qin Yingxiong! Grandpa Qin! Please don't act rashly! I've ordered them to cooperate, they will definitely cooperate!"

Xia Yuanhao was truly afraid.

This Qin Feng is a complete madman!

Soon, a magnificent black horse was led outside the palace.

Qin Feng, holding Xia Yuanhao hostage, walked out of the main hall step by step, mounted his horse, and then casually threw the Crown Prince of Great Xia on the ground like trash.

"drive!"

He spurred his horse on, ignoring the roars and howls behind him, and transformed into a black lightning bolt, disappearing into the deep night.

……

After an incense stick has burned.

The Residence of the Loyal and Valiant Marquis.

When Qin Feng, covered in blood, pushed open the door, Bai Wanqing and the Shangguan sisters immediately came to greet him.

"My husband, you're back!"

"Why are you up so late? And have you drunk so much?"

Bai Wanqing smelled the alcohol and blood on him and asked with concern.

However, Qin Feng's next words struck the three women like a thunderbolt.

"Sister-in-law, Wan'er, Xiaoyu, quick! Pack your things!"

"I've struck the Crown Prince; this place is no place to linger! You all must immediately go and hide at Li Hu's house in the west of the city!"

What?!

Upon hearing this, the three women instantly paled and stood frozen in place.

They hit...the Crown Prince?

"Husband, are you... are you telling the truth?" Bai Wanqing asked, trembling.

"Absolutely true."

"Oh my god!"

Shangguan Yu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said, "Then what are we hiding for? Let's run away! Let's leave Great Xia!"

Shangguan Wan nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Husband, we can go back to Great Chu! My father is the Great General Who Protects the Nation; he will surely protect us!"

Escape from Great Xia?

Go to the Great Chu?

Or, why not go to Erlong Mountain, find Long Wu, become an outlaw, and be a carefree mountain king?

These thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

Do not!

It's not that time yet!

Although Crown Prince Xia Yuanhao is the heir apparent, he is far from having absolute power in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The struggle for the throne among the nine princes was fraught with undercurrents.

Although his actions today were reckless, there may still be room for maneuver.

We still have cards to play!

"Now is not the time to run away!"

Qin Feng shook his head and made a decision.

"Go to Li Hu's house first; it's safe there. Remember, no matter what happens outside, don't come out!"

Qin Feng pushed the three women out the door and watched them disappear into the night before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then mounted his horse again and galloped off in another direction.

That direction isn't the city gate.

Rather—it's the Imperial Palace!

He took out a warm, smooth jade thumb ring from his pocket.

That was a token given to him by Princess Fuyao.

A moment later, Qin Feng arrived outside the heavily guarded palace gates.

"Who goes there! Dismount at once!"

The gatekeeper shouted angrily to stop them.

Qin Feng reined in his horse, dismounted, and raised the jade thumb ring high in his hand.

"Where is Commander Lü of the Imperial Guard?!"

"Qin Feng of the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor requests an audience with a matter of utmost importance!"
