Chapter 0899: Can't Afford to Fight Head-On

In Prince Shuo's mansion, after hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhou Yuanshuo stood up and walked back and forth in the hall.

"This is looking for trouble, this is challenging me!" Zhou Yuanshuo's eyes showed fighting intent.

"Yuanshuo, what happened?" Shangguan Wan'er appeared, pulled Zhou Yuanshuo to sit down, and poured Zhou Yuanshuo a cup of tea.

"It's nothing big, there was some fighting around Qin Chu's mansion, Zhou Yuanqing and Wu Chengfeng arranged spies, Zhou Yuanqing's men were relatively low-key, Wu Chengfeng's men could be said to be swaggering to monitor Qin Chu, but they were killed by Qin Chu and his three men." Zhou Yuanshuo said.

Shangguan Wan'er frowned, "This situation is a bit wrong. Last time you protected Qin Chu outside the Xuling Palace, which shows your attitude. They shouldn't do this. Zhou Yuanqing's banquet for Qin Chu was humiliated, and sending people to secretly monitor Qin Chu is understandable. What does Wu Chengfeng mean?"

"Wan'er, you hit the point. Wu Chengfeng did this for two reasons. One is to suppress Qin Chu, and the other is to see my attitude. It should be said that the Wu family wants to see my attitude." Zhou Yuanshuo said.

"We don't fight or compete, but if anyone wants to go with us, that's not okay! What should we do now?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

Zhou Yuanshuo smiled, "There's nothing difficult to deal with. If you want to touch it, then try it. Here it comes!"

As Zhou Yuanshuo spoke, several men with murderous auras appeared in the lobby.

"Ghost Three, go to the Imperial Guards to inform Commander Yu to remove the Wu family's troops in the Imperial Guards; Xiaoliu, you arrange your troops to go near Qin Chu's residence. If Wu Chengfeng's troops show up, just hack them to death. Isn't he trying to test my attitude? Tell them that if they dare to provoke, we dare to fight and kill!" Zhou Yuanshuo said.

"Prince, don't you notify the City Guards? Although our people are not the commanders, we are more than enough to deal with the Wu family's troops in the City Guards." Ghost Five said.

Zhou Yuanshuo shook his head, "Too much is as bad as too little. Excessive display of our strength will make people jealous, which is not appropriate. This time, let the Wu family know that our Prince Shuo's Mansion cannot be provoked. If they compete with us and test our attitude, they will pay the price."

"If Queen Wu talks nonsense with my father, will it have a bad influence on us?" Shangguan Wan'er was still a little worried.

"What bad influence can there be? I didn't take the military power, and others are willing to listen to me. What does it have to do with me? He can't remove my title, so he can only bear it; as for killing people, some people will die in the imperial capital one day, do you have to make things difficult for me? I'm not afraid of these. If they make things difficult for me, I will go to the border. Will he let me go to the border? I guess there will be countless people who stop me from going to the border. They are afraid!" Zhou Yuanshuo said with a smile.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and nodded. Not only the princes didn't want Zhou Yuanshuo to go to the border, but the emperor didn't want to either, because Zhou Yuanshuo at the border was a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, an existence that no one could control. In the eighteen cities at the border, Zhou Yuanshuo was equivalent to the emperor.

When Qin Chu, Shi Qingfei and Shi Qingyan were about to go out, a battle broke out in the area near Qin Chu's mansion. It was the warriors of Prince Shuo's mansion who fought with the troops under Wu Chengfeng. It was a direct killing battle. The battle happened quickly and ended quickly.

After the killing, the troops of Prince Shuo's mansion retreated, not caring about the bodies, there would always be someone to collect them.

Qin Chu sighed, "I have been avoiding it, but I still owe a favor. Sister Fei, the people under Prince Shuo who killed people were either Wu Chengfeng's subordinates or Zhou Yuanqing's men."

"Mr. Qin, things are not what you think." Gui Wu appeared.

Qin Chu invited Qin Gui Wu into the mansion and brewed a pot of tea.

"How should I put it? Last time in front of the Xu Ling Palace, my prince expressed his attitude, but some people were still dishonest and swaggering provocations. This is a blasphemy against the dignity of my prince, so my prince intends to teach them a lesson and let them know that in the imperial capital, my prince is not someone who can be provoked by anyone who wants to provoke him." Gui Wu said.

"I know, go back and tell Prince Shuo a message. When it's convenient, I'll treat him to a drink." Qin Chu said to Gui Wu.

Gui Wu clasped his fists at Qin Chu and left. He came here to pass on a message.

Upon learning that the people he sent out were killed, Wu Chengfeng was furious. He just wanted to see Zhou Yuanshuo's attitude. He didn't expect Zhou Yuanshuo to kill people. This caused him heavy losses. The people he sent out were all core masters of the Wu family.

Then there was news that the members of the Wu family in the Imperial Guard were hit, and some people in important positions were driven out.

This blow made Wu Chengfeng shake. The Wu family's countless years of operation in the Imperial Guard were destroyed by Zhou Yuanshuo overnight.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Chengfeng left the mansion and rushed to the palace. This time the Wu family suffered a heavy blow, which made him realize that testing Zhou Yuanshuo was a mistake. Zhou Yuanshuo would not give face to anyone, not even the queen.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, a woman in a golden phoenix robe stood with her hands behind her back. Although she looked at the flowers, her eyes were somewhat deep.

"Your Majesty, something happened. Zhou Yuanshuo was ruthless. He killed a team of our Wu family's iron guards and removed all the people our Wu family had stationed in the imperial guards." Wu Chengfeng bowed and reported in a low voice. He was very worried that Queen Wu would be angry.

"Zhou Yuanshuo... good tricks, since we want to play, then let's play. Don't provoke him for the time being. He doesn't even give me face, and he is obviously in a state of recklessness." Empress Wu's body showed some evil spirit, and Wu Chengfeng, who couldn't stand the pressure, took two steps back.

"Chengfeng understands!" Wu Chengfeng said after taking a few steps back.

"Zhou Yuanshuo won this battle, but he can't be left unscathed. The three people in Lingyao Mountain must be dealt with. As for how to deal with them, you can arrange it yourself." Empress Wu waved her hand and let Wu Chengfeng go down.

After leaving the inner courtyard of the palace, Wu Chengfeng found that his back was soaked. Every time he saw Empress Wu, his biological sister, he was under great pressure. He had seen Empress Wu's coldness. She was full of smiles on her face the previous moment, and she could grab someone's head the next moment.

"Zhou Yuanshuo, what's wrong with letting you jump for a while? You are not orthodox. Only my son is the royal son." Empress Wu said to herself.

Upon learning of the commotion in the imperial capital, Zhou Yuanqing hastily recalled the troops she had sent out. She didn't want to bring bad luck to herself. Zhou Yuanshuo had even dealt with the Wu family, so if he wanted to deal with her, it would only take an idea or a word.
