Chapter 1884: Also a Criminal
“Who dares?!” General Liu exclaimed, quickly turning around. He had actually never noticed the other person approaching them this entire time!0
“Brother-in-law!” Chu Youzhao exclaimed, feeling shocked and happy to hear the familiar voice.0
“Big brother Zu~” Murong Qinghe cried. Her eyes that had been full of despair now regained a bit of color.0
Zu An slowly walked forward. For some reason, wherever he went, the purple-armored soldiers moved aside on their own.0
“Youzhao, don’t be scared. Your brother-in-law has returned,” Zu An said with a voice full of pity. So many things had happened to the Qin clan as of late. Together with what happened to the Murong clan, this young lady had constantly lived in fear day after day.0
“Brother-in-law… Sniff…” Chu Youzhao sniffled, her eyes red. She immediately jumped into his arms.0
Murong Qinghe had a strange expression. Her big brother Chu was good in every way, but sometimes he was a bit too… soft. He always acted like a little girl in front of her brother-in-law. But when she recalled how big brother Chu had protected her earlier, how he was more of a man than anyone, she revealed a bashful smile.0
The fact that he did that for me already makes this life worth it…0
When he sensed the slight shaking in Chu Youzhao’s delicate body, Zu An gently stroked her hair to console her.0
King Jin’s people finally reacted too. General Liu harrumphed. “And I was wondering who it was. So it was Sir Zu.”0
Zu An looked up at him and replied, “I’m sorry, but who are you?”0
The general’s face froze. He recognized the other person, and yet the reverse wasn’t true. It really made his face heat up. However, he also knew that he wasn’t as famous as Zu An in the capital, so he could only introduce himself. “I am King Jin Manor’s guard captain, Liu Jinxin.”0
“Never heard of you before,” Zu An said nonchalantly, then continued to console Chu Youzhao.0
“You…!” Liu Jinxin exclaimed with a scowl. “I hope that Sir Zu will not stop us from arresting a court criminal.”0
You have successfully trolled Liu Jinxin for +288 +288 +288…0
Zu An raised his head slightly and replied, “Arresting a criminal? Are there any here? Why do I not know about it?”0
Liu Jinxin’s eyes were burning with rage. He said, “His majesty encountered an attack on Violet Mountain. Murong Tong is the Supervisor of Attendants and is in charge of his majesty’s safety, but his negligence led to an accident happening to his majesty. This is, of course, a tremendous crime. The Murong clan had no choice but to cooperate with the investigation, but they secretly let Murong Qinghe escape. What else could this be but an act of guilt? The court has already issued an order of arrest, and as someone who has sheltered a criminal, Chu Youzhao is also guilty!”0
You have successfully trolled Liu Jinxin for +300 +300 +300…
0
Zu An replied, “Oh, I understand. You can leave now.”0
Liu Jinxin choked. He asked, “Did you not hear me clearly? They are criminals, and I am here to arrest them!”0
Zu An moved Chu Youzhao behind him, then said slowly, “If I recall correctly, you’re merely King Jin’s personal guards and have no right to arrest anyone. This is Magistrate Yin, the Commandant of Justice, or the Security Officer’s responsibility. May I ask which one of these roles your King Jin has recently assumed?”0
Liu Jinxin scowled and said, “Arresting court criminals is the responsibility of everyone in the court. Furthermore, King Jin is his majesty’s precious family member, as well as one of the princes his majesty treasured the most. The king wishes to get revenge for his father, an action that comes from a place of filial piety. My Great Zhou Dynasty is built on filial piety. Even according to the court’s judgment, this is worthy of praise.”0
Zu An retorted coldly, “Can someone who has been doted on by his majesty disregard the law and selfishly carry out punishments against the people on their own?”0
Liu Jinxin finally couldn’t suppress his rage anymore. He said, “Sir Zu, I respect you as an important minister of the crown prince’s Eastern Palace. You are someone who belongs to the same camp as our King Jin, so that is why I have spoken properly to you all this time. Are your actions right now your own, or are you representing the crown… princess?”0
You have successfully trolled Liu Jinxin for +310 +310 +310…0
Zu An said calmly, “There is no need to disturb the crown princess for such a small matter ase this.”0
“Then it seems to be Sir Zu who obstinately clings to a stubborn insistence on defending criminals yourself, no?” Liu Jinxin replied as he sighed in relief. As long as it wasn’t the crown princess’ intention, that was fine. He represented King Jin right now, so like hell he had to be scared of anything.0
“It’s hard to say whether they’re even criminals. How could you just willfully throw labels and accusations at them like that?” Zu An replied. He didn’t feel like wasting more words on him. “If you want to bring these people away, have the Commandant of Justice personally find me.”0
Liu Jinxin roared with laughter and replied, “Sir Zu, who do you think you are? Are King Jin’s orders beneath those of the Commandant of Justice? Could you stop so many guards all by yourself?”0
In the past, Zu An’s cultivation had seemed pretty good. But rumor had it that after he returned from the Fiend races’ territory, he seemed to have been seriously injured, leaving his cultivation crippled. Liu Jinxin had even checked for himself and hadn’t sensed the slightest bit of ki from Zu An’s body. He was like a completely normal person.0
Hmph, I wonder just where he gets the courage to stop us from capturing these people. Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he has received the crown princess’ favor? Even the crown princess has to show our King Jin respect!1
Zu An walked over to Murong Qinghe and passed his hands gently over her body. The chains fell apart just like that, and she finally regained her freedom.0
“Qinghe, we’re okay now!” Chu Youzhao exclaimed, excitedly grabbing her hand. 0
As long as brother-in-law is here, there’s nothing he can’t do!0
Murog Qinghe blushed when her hand was taken, but she quickly snapped out of her daze and picked up the spear she had tossed aside. She intended to fight together with Zu An.0
Liu Jinxin didn’t get angry; instead, he laughed and remarked, “Good, good. Zu An is letting a criminal run free out of selfish interests; reprehensible! Men, arrest him! If he resists, then just kill him!”0
He had deliberately watched Zu An let Murong Qinghe go. That way, even if the matter reached the court, he would still be in the right. As for Murong Qinghe’s strength, even though her cultivation wasn’t bad, she was still young. He was an expert at the peak of the eighth rank and didn’t need to fear her at all.1
Shouts resounded around him. The guards rushed forward.0
Murong Qinghe was about to move, but Zu An reached out his hand and stood in front of her. Then, he looked at the charging purple-armored guards and yelled, “F*ck off!”0
An invisible wave spread out, and the vicious guards screamed miserably. All of them clutched their heads in pain as they rolled on the ground, their weapons falling.0
It was the Fiend races’ Lion’s Roar, a skill that was most suited for facing numerous enemies!0
Chu Youzhao’s eyes lit up. She smiled so widely that her eyes were almost closed, exclaiming, “Brother-in-law is so awesome!”0
Murong Qinghe’s eyes were also dazzling. She had faced such king manor guards many times, and their cultivations weren’t low at all. They were also good at coordinated attacks. She hadn’t expected them to already be on their knees without big brother Zu even lifting a finger!0
Liu Jinxin also took the situation in with a stupefied expression. Then, he glowered at Zu An, saying, “So Sir Zu actually hid your strength so well. No wonder you had such confidence.”0
Zu An likely had some kind of skill that could conceal his aura. However, even though that sound wave was a bit uncomfortable for Liu Jinxin, it didn’t really injure him. As such, he determined that even though that bastard Zu’s cultivation wasn’t bad, there was still a limit to it. As soon as he spoke, he drew his blade and walked toward Zu An one step after another. Killing intent filled his eyes.0
There were all kinds of schemes brewing in the capital right now, and all of the princes had their own thoughts. King Jin had been destined to not have any future in all of that because of his body’s condition. However, that person had hinted before that if they could…1
Hmph, we’ll first use this proper pretext to get rid of that bastard Zu so the crown prince loses an important general. This matter won’t be traced back to me anyway.0
As he made up his mind, his aura locked onto Zu An. As he walked forward step by step, his killing intent reached its most powerful state. He knew his blade was powerful enough to erase any enemy before him.0
But who would have thought that Zu An wouldn’t even give him a second look? Instead, he looked at the bit of blood at the corners of Chu Youzhao’s lips and asked, “Did he hit you earlier?”1
Chu Youzhao reflexively nodded, but then repeatedly shook her head and said, “It’s not that big of a deal, actually. He just struck me in an earlier conflict. I’m okay.”0
She had actually blocked them outside the main gate with the servants at first, and it was only because she suffered from that confrontation that she had backed up all the way here. However, she noticed that there was something not quite right about Zu An’s tone. She quickly shook her head for fear that he would end up getting hurt because of his rashness. Even though that Liu guy was hateful, he was King Jin Manor’s imperial guard captain. If something happened to him, they would completely offend King Jin. She was worried that she would bring her brother-in-law a problem that couldn’t be solved.0
Right at that moment, Liu Jinxin roared and said, “Just go to hell!”0
He was really angry that he was being underestimated. Did this Zu bastard think he was an earth immortal or something?4
A massive streak of blade radiance flew toward the other side. Forget about Zu An, even Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe would be slashed into a bloody mist by his blade.0
Murong Qinghe was horrified when she sensed the terrifying blade energy. She reflexively raised her spear, but this was an attack at the peak of the eighth rank, so how could it be something she could fend off?0
Suddenly, Zu An slowly raised two fingers. The terrifying blade energy suddenly disappeared without a trace. As it turned out, the blade was already clamped tightly within his two fair fingers.0
Liu Jinxin’s face was entirely red. No matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn’t make his blade budge in the slightest. In that moment, he finally understood just how terrifying the other side was. He quickly said, “Sir Zu, this is a misunderstanding…”1
Before he even finished speaking, he watched as his own blade suddenly turned around. It was also blade energy, and it felt incredibly familiar; and yet, it made his entire body shake in fear.0
The next second, a head rushed into the air. Then, a headless corpse staggered a few steps forward before crashing down. The purple-armored guards could only watch in absolute horror.0
Zu An’s body was protected by his natural ki armor, so the blood that sprayed out didn’t stay on his body.0
However, Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe’s faces were deathly pale. 0
Oh no, King Jin Manor’s guard captain was killed! Big brother Zu is also going to become a criminal…
