I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Everyone only knew that Su Chen was arrogant, and he had the right to be arrogant. He had already advanced to the level of Grandmaster, and few people in the world could rival him.

But no one knew what Wang Long was feeling; the soldiers on the city wall all turned to look at the center.

Wang Long sat in his wheelchair, expressionless.

However, his clenched fists on the armrests betrayed his current mood.

anger!

On what grounds?

Why did he become disabled?

Su Chen became a Grandmaster?

God is so unfair.

What's even more infuriating is that Su Chen, this brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet, dares to call himself his grandfather and address him as "my little brat."

Even if Wang Long is not the best, he is still the King of Liangzhou.

Normally, everyone who sees him would respectfully address him as "Your Highness".

Seeing no reaction from the city wall, Su Chen shouted again:

"Wang Long, you brat, do you dare to come down from the city and fight your Grandpa Su again?"

Wang Long could tolerate this provocation, but someone else couldn't.

The night owl immediately clasped its hands in a gesture of surrender and volunteered:

"Your Highness, this humble general is willing to descend from the city walls and fight this brat to avenge Your Highness!"

Wang Long remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Judge Wu and Shadow Snake exchanged a glance, and Shadow Snake stepped forward to reprimand them:

"What are you capable of, kid? How dare you fight a grandmaster?"

"If we lose, the morale of the army will be affected. Can you bear that responsibility?"

She didn't necessarily want to say that; she just didn't want Night Owl to die in vain, out of consideration for their sworn brotherhood.

Judge Wu then stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, our army has no equal in combat; none of them are a match for Su Chen."

"In my humble opinion, it would be better to close the city gates and wait for the enemy to attack."

Wang Long didn't say anything, but simply turned his wheelchair and went down from the city wall.

……

late at night.

The palace was dimly lit by candlelight.

"Your Highness, are we just going to stand by and watch them shout insults outside the city while we do nothing?"

The night owl pointed outside, furious, its face flushed red, and it looked like it was about to explode with rage.

Su Chen had been cursing outside the city all day, using the most offensive language, but he cursed the most as a coward.

But they kept the city gates tightly shut, just as people said, they were cowards. It wasn't that they didn't want to fight, but Wang Long wouldn't allow it, and anyone who disobeyed would be executed.

Wang Long replied nonchalantly, "People can say whatever they want, what right do you have to tell them what to do?"

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

Before Night Owl could continue, Wang Long raised his arm, signaling him to shut up.

The night owl had no choice but to swallow its words, feeling extremely aggrieved.

I've never felt so frustrated in all these years.

In Liangzhou, they only have the right to shout, not the right to be shouted at.

If this had happened before, Su Chen would have been torn to pieces long ago.

Tread!

Footsteps approached; someone had entered.

The night owl turned its head and saw that it was Empress Pei Qingluan and Consort Xiao Xue'er, who had been escorted here.

Upon seeing them, the night owl grinned with delight.

Although taking those two women hostage would be ridiculed by the world.

But we can't worry about that now. As long as we can win, anyone can be a hostage.

The two were personally escorted by Judge Wu and Shadow Snake.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought here."

Judge Wu cupped his hands and said.

Wang Long nodded, looked at Empress Pei Qingluan and Consort Xiao Xue'er, and asked:

"What are Your Majesty's and the Imperial Concubine's views on what happened outside the city today?"

Xiao Xue'er blurted out, "Wang Long, your death is near! Tomorrow His Majesty will personally come to the battlefield and surely behead your dog!"

"How dare you!"

The night owl let out a sharp cry.

Although Qin Li's army outside the city outnumbered them, they could only defend passively.

But now we are in the palace, on their territory.

Instead of obeying, Xiao Xue'er, the hostage, dared to utter arrogant words.

"Your Highness, order me to chop her up!"

"Even if we lose one imperial concubine, we still have the empress."

In other words, killing one person is no big deal.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xue'er was immediately terrified and quickly hid behind Pei Qingluan, pointing at the night owl and cursing, "Traitorous scoundrel! I am the Imperial Concubine! How dare you kill me!"

"If you kill me, the fall of the city will be the end of you, and not only that, your entire clan will be exterminated!"

The night owl was furious and reached out to grab Xiao Xue'er.

"Step back!"

Pei Qingluan shouted sternly.

The night owl grinned and said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand the situation? You are hostages now, and you expect me to step down?"

"Step back!"

These words were spoken by Wang Long.

Hearing the sound, the night owl turned to look at Wang Long in disbelief: "Your Highness..."

Looking at the night owl, Wang Long reached out and rubbed his forehead in annoyance.

With a fool like Night Owl around, how could he not be defeated?

"I have said, step down."

Seeing that Wang Long had said so, Night Owl had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Looking at Pei Qingluan, Wang Long said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has already expressed her opinion. What would Your Majesty like to say?"

Pei Qingluan calmly said, "Since the two armies have not yet officially started fighting, Your Highness still has a chance to turn back. As long as you surrender, His Majesty will spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship."

"Old flame?"

Wang Long raised his head and sighed, "I have no old feelings for him. After not seeing him for so many years, I have almost forgotten what he looks like."

"If we're talking about past affections, Wang Hu and Wang Bao have them, but I don't."

In other words, he will absolutely not surrender.

Either Qin Li dies, or he dies.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say."

Closing his eyes, Wang Long waved his hand and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Your Majesty the Empress and the Imperial Concubine to make the trip tomorrow."

After saying that, Judge Wu and Shadow Snake led the two of them out.

Tomorrow morning, the two will be escorted to the city wall and held hostage.

On the way back, Judge Wu whispered:

"Your Majesty, as you can see, Wang Long is planning to fight to the death. What exactly is your plan? Tell me now, or it will be too late tomorrow."

If they really end up on the city wall tomorrow and become hostages, no one can save them, not even a god.

Seeing that he was about to lose, Wang Long would definitely try to take the two of them down with him.

Pei Qingluan smiled and said, "It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers from the question, Judge Wu chose to remain silent.

He's worrying unnecessarily. He should be worrying about how he and Shadow Snake escaped the capital.

On their way back, the group bumped into Emperor Xuan.

It seems that Emperor Xuan will also be escorted to see Wang Long.

Upon seeing Emperor Xuan, Xiao Xue'er couldn't help but smile:

"Sister Pei, has Wang Long lost his mind? His Majesty already dislikes him, and Wang Long still wants to take him hostage as well."

"Tomorrow, when His Majesty sees him, he might even urge Wang Long to kill him quickly!"

Pei Qingluan did not speak, but when the Xuan Emperor came over, she bowed slightly in greeting.

No matter what, Emperor Xuan was their nominal father.

Upon seeing the two, Emperor Xuan handed them the Buddhist scriptures he had not yet finished copying, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity.

Perhaps, he really regrets it.

Watching Emperor Xuan being pushed and shoved away, Pei Qingluan stood still for a long time.

It was a long time before Pei Qingluan came back to her senses, until the figure of the Xuan Emperor disappeared.

He looked down at the Buddhist scripture in his hands and murmured softly, "If only I had known this would happen..."
