Slap!

Bang bang!

The Jinyiwei struck ruthlessly, three slaps leaving He Qian only time to let out a cry of pain.

"Ah!"

The crisp slap and He Qian's scream echoed sharply in the stillness of the night outside the city gates.

All officials in Beijing were silent with fear.

They knew, to some extent, that the Crown Prince's visit would not bode well. After all, the ongoing war at Moonlit Pass was no secret, and their own governor's defiance of the imperial court's order to send reinforcements was also widely known.

No one expected that the Crown Prince would be so decisive, acting with such ruthless disregard for any sense of mercy.

Soon, twenty slaps were completed.

He Qian had disheveled hair and blood all over her face. Her originally alluring and pretty face was now swollen like a pig's head.

It looked disheveled and menacing.

The two Jinyiwei behind her let go, and He Qian thudded to the ground.

The pain made her scream.

But instead of being afraid after her punishment, it only fueled her ferocity.

"Cheng Fuzhao! Are you still a man, or not Watching me being beaten and you don't even dare to fart!"

He Qian's scream made Cheng Fu Zhao's face even paler.

Li Chen's eyes were cold, falling on Cheng Fuzhao.

To Li Chen, He Qian was already a dead woman. Whatever she said or did didn't matter; it wouldn't change her fate. However, Li Chen was very interested in what Cheng Fuzhao would say and do.

Cheng Fuzhao gritted his teeth, after much deliberation between two options, he was about to speak when a clatter of hooves thundered towards them.

The sound of hooves was extremely rapid, accompanied by the heavy thudding of many feet.

This kind of footsteps, absolutely the sound of a regiment of soldiers marching quickly.

Its sense of rhythm and discipline are far beyond what ordinary freelance soldiers could possess.

That's why this sudden noise appeared, immediately making the Jinyi Wei responsible for Li Chen's safety nervous.

The Jinyiwei moved quickly, forming a circle to protect Li Chen in the middle.

Li Chen looked up and saw a large group of soldiers emerging from the darkness. Leading them were several generals, who surrounded a middle-aged man with a stern face who bore a faint resemblance to He Qian. He was striding towards them.

Needless to say, these soldiers must be the guards from the Haogjing Guard.

And at the head of them was He Long, the commander of the Gansu-Shaanxi garrison.

He Long arrived with his troops, full of vigor and confidence. He sat on a magnificent horse, looking imposing and majestic.

As soon as he saw the scene, his beloved daughter, beaten beyond recognition, lying on the ground, a cold killing intent and fury flashed in his eyes.

He leapt off his horse, motioning for the other generals behind him to remain mounted. He strode purposefully towards Li Chen.

Until they were about to be surrounded, two Jinyiwei guards closed ranks and stood on either side of him.

He Long's eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly: "Dare you block this general! "

The Jinyiwei were expressionless and cold.

There was no response, but their motionless bodies spoke volumes of their determination.

Unless ordered by His Highness, no one is to cross the encirclement.

"Come here." Li Chen said faintly.

Two Jinyiwei guards immediately separated.

He Long cast a cold glance at the two of them and strode up to Li Chen.

Seeing him enter the encirclement, still five meters in front of Li Chen, Xiao Chuanzi immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Bold! Anyone who approaches the emperor within two zhang is treasonous!"

Two zhang, over six meters, less than seven meters.

An ordinary young man, armed, can injure someone within a range of two zhang in three strides.turmoil."Then, you are also the ones left to this palace by Father Emperor" Li Chen asked.That's right.Wu Qingcang nodded, got up, then flicked his robe, knelt firmly before Li Chen, and clasped his f...
