Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 143: Punishment



The emperor’s grandchildren felt a chill in their hearts. Ye Xun was the first to step forward and said hurriedly, “Madam, this is my ninth uncle. My father is the current crown prince. If you have any grievances, just speak up. We will definitely make a decision for you!”

Ye Xun’s words were powerful and resounding, but strangely, the woman did not feel happy after hearing them. Instead, she became even more desperate, and the only light left in her eyes went out.

Obviously, even the common people in Shangjing City have gradually realized something.

“There is no one left. Is there no one left……”

After understanding what the woman meant, Ye Shuo felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Because there was no one left in the Great Zhou, it couldn’t even protect its own people.

“Raise your head!” After taking a deep breath, Ye Shuo turned around and kicked one of the Beiting guards.

The guard felt pain and reacted instinctively.

“Let me ask you, did you capture a girl?”

Feeling the blood slowly flowing down the corner of his lips, the guard who was pinned to the ground did not beg for mercy. Instead, he chuckled and said, “I, I don’t understand…what are you…saying…”

The other party is trying to use the language barrier to confuse people.

This is an inn, and it is also where the envoys from Beiting stay. As long as they insist on not admitting it, what can they do even if they are the princes of the Great Zhou?

However, what the guard never expected was that when he denied it, the little prince in front of him was not angry at all, but shouted loudly: “My people from the Great Zhou are missing, and someone reported that they are here. Please cooperate.”

Then Ye Shuo’s eyes turned cold: “Someone, search for me!”

“You can’t search, you can’t search…” Upon hearing the noise, the Minister of Rites hurried over, sweating profusely.

Looking around and seeing the woman begging, how could the Minister of Rites not guess what was happening here?

Two days ago, they were just bullying the market, but now they are directly robbing people.

The Minister of Rites was shocked and angry, but…

“Please calm down, Ninth Prince. This matter is of great importance and you must not act rashly!” Breaking into the post station without permission is an act of provocation. If not handled properly, it may lead to a war!

However, Ye Shuo didn’t even look at him and walked in.

“Even if this post house is a dangerous place, I will definitely break into it!”

The moment he finished speaking, Ye Shuo was immediately surrounded by the Beiting guards who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Ye Shuo noticed that Huyan Jue did not seem to be among them. He must have gone to the palace. After all, Beiting only stayed in Shangjing for seven days in total, and they had no idea why they lost those three cities this time.

However, Ye Shuo didn’t care whether Huyan Jue was there or not.

Seeing that he seemed to be trying to force his way in, the guards of Beiting were not as cautious as those of the Great Zhou. They immediately drew the scimitars from their waists, and the tip of the scimitars was pointed at the nose of Ye Shuo, the prince of the Great Zhou.

Seeing this scene, the thirty guards following Ye Shuo and the little emperor’s grandson also drew their weapons.

“Your Highness, let me ask you again, where is the woman you captured now?” If he could get the answer, it would be fine. If he couldn’t… Ye Shuo’s eyes turned cold.

But obviously, these Beiting people would definitely not say it.

The only option now was for Ye Shuo to force his way in.

Ye Shuo walked towards the first room of the inn without any hesitation.

“Ninth Prince, please stay!”

One of the Beiting people shouted, his eyes full of anger and his tone full of threats: “Do you want to provoke a war between Beiting and Dazhou?”

“You were the ones who were rampant first. If we were to declare war, it should be you!”

When Ye Shuo kicked open the door of the first room, the guards finally met Beiting’s guards.

The courtyard of the inn was suddenly filled with the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers.

The commander-in-chief was really considerate. He guessed their intentions and was afraid that they would suffer losses, so he gave them the best of the best among the Black Armor Guards.

“I’ll search this side, and you search that side. Be quick.” It’s not known whether there are any reinforcements from his stepfather’s side. They only brought thirty guards in total, plus a few of the emperor’s grandson’s attendants, a total of only forty people. Compared with the envoy’s team of nearly two hundred people, there is still a big gap.

Fortunately, Huyan Jue was not there. When he went out, he probably took more than half of the people with him. Otherwise, the situation would have been one-sided.

But despite this, the group of guards could not hold out for long, at most a quarter of an hour, so they had to fight quickly and decisively.

Seeing Ye Xun still trying to exchange a few moves with the guards, Ye Shuo immediately pulled him away.

But forget it, with his small arms and legs, he would have been useless in the past.

As for Ye Yan and his companions, although they are young, they are heavy and have been taught by the eldest prince himself, so it is not difficult for them to tie them together and beat up anyone.

As Ye Xun turned around, Ye Shuo saw that one of the guards was about to chop the guard with his round knife. Subconsciously, he brushed the flowers next to him and threw out a few green leaves in his hand.

A few blood lines suddenly appeared on the back of the Beiting guard’s hand.

While the other party was in pain, the guard seized the opportunity and immediately started fighting with him.

After a quick glance, he found that there was no one in the first room. Ye Shuo pulled Ye Xun and quickly kicked the door of the second room.

Then the third, fourth, fifth…

Seeing that Beiting’s encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, the guards were finding it increasingly difficult to fight. Ye Shuo and Ye Yan were on the left and right and were about to meet up.

After checking the entire circle, there are only two rooms left. In other words, if the woman’s daughter is there, she must be in these two rooms.

Ye Shuo vaguely heard a noise, so he quickly stepped forward and subconsciously pushed the door. However, the moment the door opened, he clearly heard the rustling sound of clothes.

Oh no, there’s an ambush!

Ye Shuo’s eyes blurred and he immediately saw the man’s bright and rough face.

Seeing the opponent’s hand coming towards him, if this palm hit him, even he would be in trouble. In a flash, Ye Shuo didn’t care about hiding, pushed Ye Xun to a safe place beside him, and immediately raised his palm to attack.

Before he could make a move, another figure, much faster than him, floated over like a ghost, pulled him back by his clothes, and replaced him to fight the man face to face.

The man, who was originally full of anger, flew backwards almost instantly.

Looking at the figure standing in front of him, this familiar inverted triangle figure, this seemingly cold and fierce but actually honest look, and this chin…

Ye Shuo almost blurted out: “Master!”

If the person who came wasn’t the unlucky guy from before, who else could it be?

Wu Yi was startled at first, then he subconsciously reached for his mask.

For a moment, Wu Yi wondered if his mask had been accidentally blown off by the wind on his way here.

It wasn’t until his fingers touched the cold metal covering his face that Wu Yi calmed down instantly. So, how did he recognize him?

And this Master…

Completely unaware of Wu Yi’s complicated thoughts at the moment, Ye Shuo became immediately energized after seeing him.

When Wu Yi, the number one killer under his cheap father, appeared, Ye Shuo suddenly felt that the Beiting guards in the yard were nothing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman’s figure faintly on the wooden bed. Without thinking, Ye Shuo pulled Wu Yi inside, and then quickly locked everyone outside, including Ye Xun.

Wu Yi is a secret guard, he would definitely not say anything nonsense, and the man just now was still in the house. Ye Shuo was afraid of being ambushed, so he simply brought Wu Yi in with him.

When Ye Shuo walked towards the bed, another figure rushed towards him.

This time, Ye Shuo didn’t even move, and Wu Yi knocked the man down cleanly and neatly again.

When he opened the curtains, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman’s shirt was just a little messy, but her belt was still there.

Fortunately, fortunately I made it in time.

Even though the two beasts failed to succeed, it was still a great insult to women of that time.

The woman’s eyes were filled with grief, anger and shame. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she pulled out the hairpin and was about to stab it into her neck.

However, the next moment, a hand quickly grasped the tip of the hairpin.

“Hey, hey, hey, what does this have to do with you? What did you do wrong? Both of them are alive, why do you want to die?”

And then there is——

“If you die, what will you ask your mother to do?”

The woman was stunned, and then couldn’t help crying.

Only then did Ye Shuo notice that the other person seemed to be a mute girl who could not make any sound. No wonder they didn’t hear any sound of struggling or asking for help when they came in just now.

These two bastards, even a mute girl could do that to them, they are worse than beasts!

Ye Shuo was almost biting his teeth.

“Here is fifty taels of silver. Take it with you and leave Shangjing with your mother.” Ye Shuo knew the horror of rumours, especially in ancient times.

“Don’t worry, I’m the only one who saw your face. If you live somewhere else, no one will recognize you.”

The mute girl stared at him blankly, as if asking, is this really the case? Can the days ahead really return to peace?

Ye Shuo looked straight into her eyes and nodded affirmatively: “Of course, the premise is that you must become strong yourself.”

Ye Shuo suddenly thought of a place where there were no requirements for women’s chastity.

“How about I send you to the border to study?”

The mute girl was silent for a while, and seemed to quiet down little by little with this voice.

Finally, the mute girl knelt down on the bed and kowtowed three times to Ye Shuo, tears falling like rain.

Wu Yi had been staring at the two people and didn’t notice what they said.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the two men flew out and landed right in the center of the courtyard.

The force was so great that it even broke one of the doors.

Apart from Huyan Jue, these two people can be said to have the highest status in the envoy team.

Seeing this, the other guards had no choice but to stop.

“Major General, are you okay?”

“Get lost!”

The man who was called the Major General and the first to attack Ye Shuo, struggled to sit up from the ground. He was panting and staring at Ye Shuo, who was obviously the leader: “Asshole! How dare you… ruin my good deeds…”

“This prince also wants to ask, who gave you the courage to rape a woman in the streets of Shangjing City?” Ye Shuo’s eyes were sharp.

Hearing this, the man couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Ha…haha…”

“So… what if I robbed him?”

Probably because of the injury, the man was a little out of breath, but it did not affect his arrogance at all: “Could it be that… you can still… punish me, kill me…?”

Ye Shuo also smiled, and thinking back to the scene just now, his eyes gradually turned colder.

Just when the man thought that the matter was over, he heard him slowly speak –

“As you said, why not?”

Seeing the other party behaving like this, Ye Shuo had already developed the intention to kill him.
