I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

When the news reached Qin Li, he was in the supply camp chatting with his younger brother Qin Feng.

With Qin Li's strong support, Qin Feng developed several effective weapons to target the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

Qin Li was inspecting the results and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After he finished, he wanted to have hot pot with his younger brother.

Snowy days are best enjoyed with hot pot!

"What? What did you say?"

"Wei Hongying and Su Chen started fighting, and they were even going to kill each other. No one could stop them."

"How could this be? I clearly sent Wei Hongying..."

Qin Li's mouth dropped open in utter shock; his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

The moment he received the news, he immediately abandoned Qin Feng.

They quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the scene of the incident.

Qin Feng frowned and, along with two other people, rushed over to join in the fun.

Whoohoo!

All I could hear was the whistling wind.

The winter wind cuts so hard it hurts your cheeks.

It's like someone is taking a knife and cutting the flesh off your face piece by piece.

Ahead, Zhou Biao led his men to clear the way, shouting at anyone blocking the path to get out of the way.

Qin Li now only hopes that he can get there in time.

He didn't want to lose either Wei Hongying or Su Chen.

One of them was his woman; after spending so many days together, he loved Wei Hongying more than he loved Xiao Xue'er.

He had even thought of a name for their son: Wei Qing!

Another reason was his ultimate weapon against the Northern Barbarians; he also didn't want anything to happen to Su Chen.

Before long, Qin Li arrived at the scene with his men, and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Along the narrow mountain path, many trees had been cut in half and collapsed together, forming a "wooden tower" several stories high, completely blocking the narrow road leading to Qingling Pass.

Several of the trees were still crackling with purple lightning, which hadn't completely dissipated, clearly caused by Su Chen's halberd.

At the very bottom of the tree lay a warhorse that had been dead for a long time.

He was killed by a longsword piercing his neck, and his blood spread to a large area around him.

Wei Hongying and Su Chen are engaged in a fierce battle on the "Wooden Tower," with neither side gaining the upper hand!

"Why didn't you stop them?"

As soon as Qin Li arrived, he glared angrily at the ordinary soldiers who were watching.

"Your Highness, we are innocent!"

The soldiers knelt down in fear.

It's not that they didn't want to stop them, but that they simply couldn't get close.

Many people have tried to stop them but were accidentally injured, including two who almost lost their lives.

"Ugh!"

With a heavy sigh, Qin Li waved his hand forward.

The two high-ranking martial artists, who had been brought along by the eldest prince, rushed up the wooden tower with lightning speed and easily subdued the two people who were engaged in fierce combat.

"A ninth-rank martial artist?"

Qin Feng, who had just arrived with his men, looked up, his eyes filled with envy.

Qin Li's move involved two ninth-rank martial artists, which shows just how deep the Crown Prince's mansion's foundation is—it's practically bottomless.

He truly didn't know how many years he would have to struggle to reach the same level as Qin Li.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

call out!call out!

Two ninth-rank martial artists, each grabbing one of them, brought Wei Hongying and Su Chen down from the wooden tower.

After being brought down, the two men looked at each other with obvious resentment, and almost drew their weapons again.

"Surrender all weapons."

With a sharp shout from Qin Li, both of their weapons were taken away.

Su Chen was naturally unwilling to let go. The halberd had finally returned to his hands, and he would rather die than give it up.

But in the hands of a ninth-rank martial artist, there was no choice but to comply.

The halberd was easily taken away, and he was pinned to the ground like a pig being held down on a chopping board during Chinese New Year.

Pointing annoyedly at the two of them, Qin Li opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

"Qin Li, you'll die a horrible death!"

"You have colluded with the enemy and betrayed your country; your intentions are despicable!"

Even with Su Chen pinned to the ground, he remained unruly, his eyes red as he shouted angrily.

"Treason and collusion with the enemy?"

Qin Li was taken aback, not knowing what Su Chen meant.

He thought to himself, he hadn't provoked Su Chen along the way.

Not only did he not provoke Su Chen, he also portrayed Su Chen as the savior of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, countless young women are clamoring to marry Su Chen.

It's one thing for Su Chen not to be grateful to him, but why did she even scold him?

Wei Hongying rubbed her wrist and tried to step forward, but a ninth-rank martial artist stretched out his arm to stop her from getting close to Qin Li.

Qin Li waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, and took the initiative to lead Wei Hongying away to talk.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Li asked with concern.

He examined Wei Hongying's body from head to toe.

I wanted to see if she was injured.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Wei Hongying shook her head, gritting her teeth and saying resentfully, "I didn't realize that Su Chen was so exceptionally talented. I, a peak sixth-grade martial artist, was completely helpless against him, who had just entered the sixth grade, and almost lost!"

Qin Li couldn't help but smile.

They're the main characters, after all.

It's common for the protagonist to win against opponents of higher levels.

Not to mention that they are both sixth-rank martial artists.

It's quite remarkable that Wei Hongying has been able to persevere for so long.

"What exactly happened?"

Qin Li asked, eager to know the truth.

Why did Su Chen immediately accuse him of treason and collusion with the enemy as soon as he arrived, saying that his heart was wicked?

Wei Hongying told Qin Li everything without hiding anything.

After listening, Qin Li nodded, "I see..."

Looking at Qin Li, Wei Hongying asked, "What do we do next? I think I've messed things up."

When Qin Li issued the order for the army to halt its advance and remain stationed in place, he knew Su Chen wouldn't listen, so he specially summoned her over and gave her a sword before she left.

That sword was none other than the Overlord Sword, the personal sword of Su Chen's grandfather, Marquis Su of Dingyuan!

At that time, Su Chen pawned the Overlord Sword in order to raise enough money for the tickets for their group to enter Jiuyi Mountain to search for treasure.

The Overlord Sword remained in Qin Li's hands.

This time, Qin Li sent Wei Hongying with the Overlord Sword.

It wasn't meant for Wei Hongying to fight Su Chen with this sword, but rather to hope that Su Chen would refrain from causing trouble by "gifting" it to Su Chen, out of consideration for the Overlord Sword.

But to everyone's surprise, Wei Hongying did not do as Qin Li said, and did not mention returning the Overlord Sword to Su Chen at all.

"It's alright, I'm just glad you're okay."

Qin Li offered a few words of comfort, then said, "Things weren't messed up; I brought some help."

"helper?"

Wei Hongying frowned.

Qin Li gestured with his lips, indicating to Wei Hongying to go and see.

Wei Hongying then turned her head to look over.

Not far away, the Seventh Prince Qin Feng was squatting next to Su Chen, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, and the two were talking.

"Young Master Su, what are you up to?" Qin Feng asked with a smile, not wanting to miss out on the fun.

Su Chen, his eyes wide, glared at Qin Feng from the ground. "None of your business!"

Not yet, Su Chen continued, "Qin Feng, your fiancée has been stolen, and you still have time to chat idly with me? If I were you, I'd go and snatch her back right now. If you don't, are you even a man?"

With one arm draped over his knee, Qin Feng squatted casually and continued to say with a smile, "Don't try to provoke me, I'm not falling for that."

"Since Wei Hongying is willing to believe my elder brother, let her believe him. There are plenty of women in the world, and even more good women. I, Qin Feng, am not irreplaceable by her!"

"As for you, Prince Su, you're as stupid as a pig. Can't you see the current situation at all? You're courting death by openly accusing my elder brother of treason and colluding with the enemy. Your heart is despicable!"

"So what if I cursed!" Su Chen went down a path of no return.

Qin Feng looked up at the ninth-rank martial artist who was holding Su Chen down. "Can I speak with him alone for a few minutes?"

The ninth-rank martial artist looked in Qin Li's direction, and Qin Li waved his hand at him. Only then did the ninth-rank martial artist release Su Chen and retreat a little further away.

With the pressure on his body suddenly reduced, Su Chen sat up from the ground and rubbed his sore shoulders.

He believed himself to be very strong, that even Wei Hongying was no match for him, and that victory was only a matter of time.

But today, in the hands of a ninth-rank martial artist, he realized that there are always higher levels and more powerful people out there.

"Say what you want to say quickly. After you say it, I'm going to do something big."

As he spoke, Su Chen kept his eyes fixed on Qin Li with a fierce gaze.

Qin Feng knew what Su Chen was up to; he wanted to harm Qin Li. "Stop courting death. You can't even escape from a ninth-rank martial artist. Do you know how many ninth-rank martial artists my elder brother has around him?"

"I don't care!"

Su Chen suddenly swung his arm, his gaze still fixed on Qin Li, and shouted, "Anyway, I've already made my decision today. Whether you do it or not, you're doomed."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng sighed helplessly.

As expected, his and Fang Yuan's assessment of Su Chen was correct.

This kid has the ability, but he's not smart enough!

After sighing, Qin Feng said, "Alright, listen to me first, then you can decide whether you want to do it or not..."
