I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Wu Chuang swaggered forward, stopped at the very front of the line, put his hands on his hips, and loudly asked, "Which of you is the Crown Prince, Qin, Qin..."

"What was his name again, Qin something?"

Wu Chuang couldn't recall Qin Li's name for a moment, so he turned to ask one of the villagers Qin Li had brought over.

Some villagers, not wanting to let things escalate, shouted, "Village head, his name is Qin Li! Qin Li!"

Wu Chuang was also a village head, and his village was next to that of the old village head.

However, the two villages have always been at odds.

"Yes, let's name him Qin Li!"

Wu Chuang continued, "Which of you is Qin Li? Step forward!"

Qin Li did not step forward, but instead gave Qin Feng a look.

Qin Feng lightly squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs and took a step forward.

"You're Crown Prince Qin Li? You look quite ordinary." Wu Chuang looked Qin Feng up and down on horseback and commented.

"I am not the Crown Prince, I am the Seventh Prince Qin Feng," Qin Feng introduced himself.

"Oh, a prince? With your looks, you're a prince?"

Wu Chuang looked down on Qin Feng from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Feng looked displeased and said, "Although I am not particularly handsome, I still surpass the vast majority of men in the world. How come you, a commoner, portray me as such?"

He needs an explanation from Wu Chuang.

Otherwise, let alone Zhou Biao, he wouldn't have let Wu Chuang off the hook either.

Wu Chuang laughed loudly and said, "What else can you be but a bird? You're aiding and abetting evil, wanting to destroy the Buddhist Kingdom with your elder brother, right?"

"Come on, try it. You want to destroy the Buddhist Kingdom? Did I, Wu Chuang, agree to that?"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "Does the Great Zhou need a mere village head like you to agree to destroy the Buddhist Kingdom?"

"Do you have soldiers or provisions? Otherwise, send your army to your village first, and see if you can still say such things."

Qin Feng's words were a blatant threat.

But Wu Chuang remained completely unafraid.

Everyone was truly baffled.

What gives Wu Chuang the confidence to face the world?

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you, you lackey."

Wu Chuang said, "Quickly call out Crown Prince Qin Li. I have something to say to him, not to you, his lackey."

attendant?

Qin Feng couldn't help but point to himself.

How can he be considered a follower?

He is the dignified seventh prince.

But then I thought about it again.

He was indeed Qin Li's follower during this southern expedition to the Buddhist kingdom.

However, "follower" is not a title that Wu Chuang, a mere village head, can use.

Just as they were about to teach Wu Chuang a lesson, Qin Li finally stepped forward:

"What business do you have with me?"

Wu Chuang looked at Qin Li and sized him up as well:

"That's right, I just looked around at you all, and you're the only one who's not bad looking."

Qin Li smiled and decided to take it as a compliment.

"Speak, what business do you have with me?"

Qin Li asked.

Wu Chuang, neither humble nor arrogant, said, "Your Highness, please quickly return to the capital. The Buddhist Kingdom is innocent!"

He and the old village chief had the same goal: to stop the army from attacking the Buddhist kingdom.

Similarly, he was also a believer of Pushan Temple, and the temple abbot sent him there.

The temple abbot knew that the old village head was a bully who preyed on the weak and would fail him at crucial moments, so he sent him to cover for him.

What if I say no?

Qin Li said, word by word.

The army has spent countless amounts of money and supplies on its southward march. If it were to return to the capital now, the Crown Prince's prestige would be utterly destroyed and impossible to recover.

Therefore, this southward march of the army must yield some results, and the Buddhist Kingdom must become one of the three states of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this.

"No?"

Wu Chuang said, "If the Crown Prince doesn't return to the capital, don't blame us, the people of Great Zhou, for dying in front of him!"

Qin Li laughed angrily: "Oh? You're trying to force me with your own lives? Why would I care about the lives of a few unruly commoners like you?"

"Guards, seize him!"

At his command, all the guards dismounted and drew their swords.

These unruly people could be killed without exception in less than fifteen minutes.

The villagers panicked instantly and all looked at Wu Chuang, demanding an explanation from him.

Before they came, Wu Chuang patted his chest and told them that Crown Prince Qin Li would never dare to kill them, and that he would guarantee it with his own head, which is why they were willing to come with Wu Chuang.

But judging from the current situation, Qin Li would dare to kill them without even blinking an eye.

At this moment, the old villager who had wet his pants was pointing at Wu Chuang and saying:

"Wu Chuang, you didn't believe I was young, but now you've really messed things up!"

Wu Chuang's face darkened, and he snapped, "You old bastard, shut your mouth!"

After finishing his tirade, Wu Chuang looked at Qin Li and said, "I don't believe the Crown Prince would dare to make a move. There are so many of us, over a hundred people in total. Although the lives of us commoners are worthless in the Crown Prince's eyes, does the Crown Prince know what killing us means?"

Qin Li feigned ignorance: "What does it mean?"

Wu Chuang said, word by word, "It means that the Crown Prince will be at odds with all the Buddhist believers in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

This was his confidence from the very beginning; behind him stood not only the villagers of two villages, but also the Buddhist believers of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

The total amount adds up to hundreds of thousands, even millions.

Wu Chuang thought that after he finished speaking, the Crown Prince would be afraid.

But Qin Li on horseback didn't speak; he simply said:

"It's alright. Of course I won't make enemies of all the Buddhist believers in the Great Zhou. I just need to kill you all without anyone knowing."

"You don't have that many people, only about a hundred in total. I don't have many guards either, but killing you will be as easy as killing chickens and sheep."

"When they started, they were quick, accurate, and ruthless. They killed over a hundred of you in just fifteen minutes."

"After I kill you, I will bury you on the spot, and no one will know that I killed you."

"Even if someone digs up your burial pit in the future, they won't suspect that I ordered your deaths. You tell me, isn't that right? Hahahaha..."

After saying that, Qin Li burst into laughter.

Crazy, crazy.

This is insane!

Wu Chuang couldn't help but take a step back.

Qin Feng looked at Qin Li, indicating that he had learned something.

After laughing, Qin Li waved his hand and said:

"Let's do it!"

The guards, armed with steel knives and with malicious smiles on their faces, surrounded the villagers.

"Wu Chuang, you bastard, you said the Crown Prince wouldn't kill us!" a villager shouted, breaking down in his guard.

The quick-witted and responsive villagers immediately took off running.

They only feel at ease when their lives are in their own hands.

Wu Chuang fell into deep self-doubt. Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

"Wait a moment!"

Wu Chuang reached out and shouted.

Qin Li raised his hand, and the guards stopped in their tracks.

Wu Chuang stared at Qin Li, saying each word clearly, "You're bluffing me? Actually, you wouldn't dare, would you!"

Qin Li, too lazy to pay any more attention to Wu Chuang, ordered Zhou Biao to take action.

Without a word, Zhou Biao raised his knife and swung it down towards Wu Chuang's head...
