Heaven-defying Skills

"Viscount Yuan?" Ao Yang repeated. In his impression, there seemed to be no Viscount named Yuan.

"Yes, it is Viscount Yuan. I heard that he was appointed by His Majesty not long before I took over. He also opened a restaurant called Paradise Restaurant. Viscount Yuan's residence is also there." Shi Qian explained.

"Paradise Restaurant, Yuan Kai!" Ao Yang suddenly realized, raised his voice a little, and turned his eyes to Han Fengxue.

Han Fengxue was also confused. With the current prince Ao Yunxing protecting him, who would dare to touch Yuan Kai? He looked at Shi Qian: "Commander Shi, do you know who wants to deal with him?"

When Shi Qian saw Han Fengxue, there was a trace of respect in his eyes. He had witnessed Han Fengxue's abnormality with his own eyes. He defeated hundreds of thousands of powerful enemies with a single song. He would never forget the shock of that day. Even if he became the commander, he respected Han Fengxue, a young man, from the bottom of his heart. He shook his head and said: "Master Han, I don't know much, but according to the person who reported the news, the other party's power is very large and the situation is very critical."

After speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Ao Yang: "Your Highness, the situation is urgent. Please forgive me for being rude and going first."

Ao Yang nodded, and everyone made way for him. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

Everyone was silent. Except for a few, almost all of these people knew about Han Fengxue and Yuan Mengyao, and they couldn't help but look at Han Fengxue.

Han Fengxue frowned, his eyes showing a thoughtful light, and soon he said: "Let's go and have a look!" After so many things, he has gradually completely forgotten about Yuan Mengyao, but in his heart, he still hates Ao Yunxing and Yuan Mengyao, but it is far less intense than before. Hearing that something happened to Yuan Mengyao's family, he still can't help but want to go and have a look. He doesn't understand what kind of contradictory psychology this is.

When everyone saw Han Fengxue speak, they didn't say anything. The Paradise Restaurant was not far away from here, and it didn't take long to arrive.

At this moment, outside the restaurant, there were some scattered people watching the excitement on the wide open space. In the crowd, there were many soldiers. They were the people brought by Shi Qian. Further ahead, there were several corpses lying on the ground. Next to the corpses were some people dressed as family guards, about a few hundred people. In the middle of the crowd stood a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a square face and a tall and thin figure. There was a trace of displeasure on his face, and his eyes were Shi Qian.

Han Fengxue's eyes instantly reached the back of the middle-aged man, where Yuan Kai had a pale face, a murderous but powerless expression, and Yuan Mengyao was two steps behind him, her face was bloodless, and her eyes were full of fear.

"Duke Casey!" Ao Yang looked at the middle-aged man and said in a low voice. The person who dealt with Yuan Kai was actually a duke. No wonder he asked for help from the city guards.

Casey drove Shi Qian unhappily and said, "Commander Shi, this is a private matter between Yuan Kai and me. I hope you don't ask about it. I will definitely reward you in the future!"

Although Shi Qian was only conferred the title of earl, which was much lower than his duke, the identity of the commander of the city guards was different. He had an army in his hands. Even if you were a duke, others would ignore you and you had no choice. However, Casey was not an ordinary duke. He had another identity, the commander of finance, managing the financial power of the empire. Even if you had an army, you still needed money to support it. If you offended Casey, he could make your life difficult in the future.

Shi Qian had no expression on his face, and just said lightly: "My Lord Duke, it seems inappropriate for you to attack the viscount of the empire privately like this!"

Kathy curled her lips in disdain: "It's just a viscount. Commander Shi, don't worry, this kind of person can be killed. Your Majesty is busy with official duties and has no time to care about the life and death of a viscount or earl." Kathy's words have been very clear. Isn't it just a viscount? I killed him, and His Majesty must know it, but even if he knows, what's the use? He will definitely not embarrass a senior official like me. If you want to intervene, you'd better weigh your own power first.

Casey dared to say this, and he did have the confidence. He had worked in the Finance Department for twenty years and became the commander ten years ago. His influence in the Finance Department was already deeply rooted. The daily expenditure of the huge empire was an astronomical figure. If there was a problem with him as the Finance Commander, it would not be possible to just send someone to take over. The finances of the entire empire might be temporarily paralyzed. The emperor would not touch him before he was fully prepared to find someone to take over. However, the commander of the city guards was different. Shi Qian had only been in office for a month and had no influence in the army. His Majesty could replace him with just one word. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who was stronger and weaker.

Shi Qian was silent, not because he was afraid of Casey. As a soldier who put the interests of the empire first, if Casey did anything that was detrimental to the interests of the empire, he would not hesitate to interfere. But at this moment, he was thinking of other things. Yuan Kai was just a powerless viscount and a businessman. Giving him up would not cause any loss to the empire. If he and Casey fought, there might be serious consequences, and even become a political problem. In the officialdom, to be a good official, it is not about being honest and upright, but about being tactful in dealing with things and looking at problems. Many famous officials in history climbed to their positions by stepping on the corpses of many people. At critical moments, in order to gain greater benefits, some sacrifices are often needed. Shi Qian did not think he was an upright official, but he wanted to be a good official. But if he gave up Yuan Kai, he felt uneasy about his conscience and was unable to make a decision for a while.

Seeing Shi Qian's silence, Casey was not anxious. He believed that as long as Shi Qian was smart enough, he would make the most correct choice.

He was not in a hurry, but Yuan Kai was, and he said excitedly: "Commander Shi, you don't know how shameless this bastard Casey is. His son fell in love with my Mengyao, so he insisted on letting my daughter go." My daughter and I disagree about being his son's concubine. He wants to kill me first and then take my daughter away. How can I bear it? Commander Shi, do you know that my daughter is the third prince? His girlfriend, his bastard son, Casey, is nothing. At this time, it’s just because I can’t inform the third prince, otherwise, Casey would dare to be so arrogant.”

As if she didn't hear what he said, Casey didn't react at all.

Shi Qian was shocked at first, but then he was relieved. To put it nicely, the third prince's girlfriend, with Cathy's ability to climb up to the Finance Department, must be very outstanding in scheming and strategy. How could he not even investigate this? When he knew it, he came to rob someone. Since he dared to come, he was undoubtedly confident.

Can Shi Qian think that Yuan Kai would not think of it, but what can he do? Yuan Mengyao has not seen Ao Yunxing for nearly a month. Ao Yunxing has not said anything to get rid of Yuan Mengyao. Yuan Kai dares to let her daughter enter Kai Xi's Although he thought that he might have been betrayed by Ao Yunxing, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that everything was just his random guess.

Ao Yang and Han Fengxue were also thinking about something behind the crowd. In Han Fengxue's heart, although they were very disdainful and even a little angry at Casey's behavior, Yuan Kai didn't ask for it. He wanted to His daughter became the ladder for him to climb high branches, but he never expected that it would lead to such an ending. Deep in Han Fengxue's heart, there was a feeling of relief from hatred. This was not the so-called cycle of cause and effect. Yuan Mengyao designed it back then. Playing with him, and now being played by others as well.

Just when everyone was silent, a few voices came from the side: "Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

The crowd parted in the middle, and a small group of people walked into the venue. When he saw the person coming, Yuan Kai's face instantly became excited, and his pale complexion immediately turned red, as if a person in despair had seen a glimmer of light and was excited. He said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

Yuan Mengyao's eyes also burst into life, as if she regained her courage instantly and took two steps forward.

Shi Qian was a little confused, whether his guess was wrong, but that was almost impossible.

Casey's eyes still didn't waver. He walked up to Ao Yunxing and said respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Shi Qian and the soldiers also shouted respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Ao Yunxing nodded indifferently and said to Casey: "Duke Casey, Commander Shi, what are you doing!"

Shi Qian opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, this is what happened." Then he briefly told what happened, especially at the end he deliberately emphasized that Yuan Kai said that you have something to do with his daughter.

Just as Shi Qian finished speaking, Yuan Mengyao ran up. She looked at Ao Yunxing pitifully and said: "Yunxing, those two bastards Casey and Kyle said they wanted to arrest me... and arrest me to become Kyle." My concubine." After saying that, she could no longer hold back her sobs.

But after listening to her words, Ao Yunxing showed no anger at all. He seemed indifferent and said to Casey gently, as if it was none of his business, "Duke Casey, is that so?"

Casey smiled nonchalantly and replied: "Your Highness, the waiter is naughty and fell in love with this Miss Yuan Mengyao, but I didn't expect that the father and daughter did not know how to praise her. Please make the decision, Your Highness."

These words left everyone speechless, and people couldn't help but want to scold: "His grandma is really arrogant!"

Yuan Mengyao felt even more aggrieved when she heard his words. Tears kept flowing down her face and she cried, "Yunxing, did you hear that?"

A beautiful woman crying and acting coquettish is a bit heart-warming, but Ao Yunxing's eyes did not change at all. He turned around and said to Yuan Mengyao: "Miss Yuan, you are wrong. Since Master Kyle has taken a liking to you, you are also yours." Fuqing, how can you and your father refuse others?" Then he turned to Shi Qian and said, "Commander Shi, let them resolve these matters by themselves. You are also busy with official duties, so I won't trouble you here. Here, I believe things can be resolved peacefully.”

After Ao Yunxing finished speaking, except for Casey who showed a victorious smile, everyone else was stunned. They had seen shameless people, but never seen such a shameless prince, and he was also a shameless prince.

Now everyone understands that Ao Yunxing did not show up earlier or later, but appeared after Shi Qian arrived. So, he definitely came here because he had nothing to do, but of course it was not to help Yuan Mengyao and the others, but to help Yuan Mengyao and the others. He was afraid that Shi Qian was an upright person, so he deliberately came to drive him away.

Even though Shi Qian was somewhat prepared, he was still frightened by Ao Yunxing's words. This prince was so talented, and Yuan Kai's face was so ugly.

The worst person is of course Yuan Mengyao. At this moment, his rosy complexion, which had just recovered, suddenly turned even paler. His eyes were dull, and he looked at Ao Yunxing in front of him, as if he didn't recognize him all over again. At this moment, my heart was being torn apart by knives, like the torture of hell.

Although Han Fengxue and Ao Yang knew that Ao Yunxing would do anything to achieve his goals, they still did not expect that he would reach such a shameless level.

After the battle with King Xiaoyao, the emperor favored Ao Yang even more, and asked him to do all the big and small things, while he was completely neglected. The sense of crisis made him feel suffocated. If he wanted to turn the tables, he had to win over the ministers, and Casey was undoubtedly a very important role.

"Commander Shi, do you have anything else to do?" Ao Yunxing urged when he saw that Shi Qian did not move.

After coming back to his senses, Shi Qian sighed in his heart and shook his head, saying, "Your Highness, I will leave now." After saying that, he turned around and was about to lead the team to leave. At this moment, he saw a young man in front walking towards this side and said coldly, "He is fine, I am in trouble."

The person who spoke was Han Fengxue. Although he also hated Yuan Mengyao, he really couldn't stand Ao Yunxing's behavior. It was simply shameless to the extreme. He also understood that the reason why Yuan Mengyao played with his feelings was also arranged by Ao Yunxing. Just now, he suddenly realized that Yuan Mengyao was actually a very pitiful woman. She was in her prime and could have a good relationship, but she fell in love with someone she shouldn't like. She completely became a plaything for others and was given away like a thing.

The sudden voice focused everyone's attention. Ao Yunxing saw Han Fengxue coming over and his face became very ugly. He didn't expect Han Fengxue to be here and come out to interfere. If he interfered, it would be difficult for him to deal with it. Now Han Fengxue can walk sideways in the imperial capital.

Yuan Mengyao was stunned when she saw that the person who came was Han Fengxue. She looked at him with a complicated look, with guilt, regret, and unspeakable emotions. Han Fengxue's reputation was at its peak, and the name of Xuefeng had naturally reached her ears a long time ago. Thinking of Han Fengxue's meticulous care for her in the past, she had set up a thorough conspiracy to kill the other party. Especially now that she saw Ao Yunxing's true face, she realized that Han Fengxue was so outstanding, but she knew that she and Han Fengxue were already people from two different classes. With Han Fengxue's current worth, perhaps Ao Yunxing could not compare to him.
