From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Ming He's appearance completely eliminated Zhou Ziyue's chance to get close to Tang Wanru. But it wasn't over yet, he looked out of the crowd with a cold gaze.

Sui Qi had also come over there with a group of people. They asked the crowd to make way for them, and they stood on both sides.

The person who appeared at the end of the road was Bai Yanli.

Zhou Ziyue held his bleeding hand, his eyes gradually dimming.

"Wanru, are you okay?" Bai Yanli walked up and asked.

Tang Wanru shook her head.

Seeing the two people looking at each other with eyes full of concern and affection, Zhou Ziyue's heart sank. He snorted coldly and interrupted the two of them. He said, "Bai Yanli, what are you doing? I'm saving her, can't you see?" He asked gritting his teeth.

Bai Yanli looked at him coldly and said, "She has me, she doesn't need you to save her."

Ah.

Zhou Ziyue pressed the wound on his hand hard with one hand, but a layer of sweat still appeared on his forehead due to the pain. However, he still said arrogantly: "Help?"

He glanced at Ming He who had just appeared and Sui Qi who was standing in the crowd, and sneered, "Do you think your Bai Ting Lou can do whatever it wants at any time? I tell you, this is Daliang, not your Great Zhou!"

"Daliang!" Zhou Ziyue's eyes were full of confidence when he mentioned this, "This is my territory!"

He was not wrong.

Previously, Tang Wanru spent three years expanding the influence of the Dark Domain to the entire northwest, but Bai Yanli did not expand his Baiting Tower.

Even though Ming He and Sui Qi did bring some men with them this time, they were just superficial. The important thing was that Bai Tinglou had no roots here at all!

But Zhou Ziyue is different.

Even with the Queen's constant opposition, he still has the final say in the hearts of the people. Otherwise, the Queen would not have issued an explicit ban, and the people would still secretly seek witchcraft from the witch doctor.

That's why Zhou Ziyue can say such words with confidence.

And after he finished speaking, just as he said, the people of Daliang immediately rushed forward, blocking the road that Sui Qi had just asked people to make way for, and surrounded Bai Yanli in the middle.

Ming He and Qing Ling could only protect Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru on the left and right.

Seeing that his men had completely gained the upper hand, Zhou Ziyue became even more arrogant. He took the white silk handed over by his men and temporarily wrapped it around his injured hand to stop the bleeding. Then he looked up at Bai Yanli and said, "Bai Yanli, I think you are too arrogant. The victory in Zhou Dynasty three years ago made you completely forget your roots. Who are you? You are just an unwanted son of the emperor. What qualifications do you have to be proud in front of me?"

"You really don't know who is the king here?"

The words were so arrogant that even Ming He couldn't bear to listen to them.

If Bai Yanli hadn't stopped him, he would have taken action right then and there to compete with the Wumen. Bai Yanli knew that this was not a good time to take action. The Wumen wanted to win over the people, and a hasty dispute would only anger the people and help the Wumen. What's more, he had other tricks up his sleeve.

"King?" Bai Yanli asked calmly, "Then who do you think is the king here?"

"Didn't you see?" Zhou Ziyue thought he would definitely win against Bai Yanli in Daliang. He stood in front of all the people who were protecting him and said, "Of course it's me!"

Bai Yanli's eyes darkened. He had heard that the Wu Clan was popular among the people, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Get out of the way." Seeing that he had no more tricks up his sleeve, Zhou Ziyue stood up and said to Bai Yanli, "Leave the responsibility of protecting Wanru in Daliang to me. As you can see, I have so many people to ensure that she will not be harmed at all."

"Letting her marry me is the right thing to do." He said proudly, and added, "Think about it more, Qiao Ruer's brother, Qiao Jiu."

"You--" Ming He clenched his hands when he heard these words. What he meant by this was to imply that Bai Yanli's identity here was Tang Wanru's brother. Not to mention competing with him, he didn't even have the qualifications to interfere in this matter.

"Yes, Brother Qiao, just let the saint get married." Someone started to make a fuss.

"That's right. Although everyone knows that you care about your sister, you also have to consider her happiness, right?"

"Didn't you see? If the witch master hadn't rescued her just now, she would have been mistaken for a murderer!"

"Yes, this is what everyone just saw with their own eyes."

People talked more and more, and every word they said was in favor of Zhou Ziyue.

Bai Yanli's face became increasingly gloomy.

Zhou Ziyue's words about "brother" had completely touched his sore spot.

elder brother?

He has no power here? This is underestimating him.

Bai Yanli's eyes shone with a dark light. He walked slowly to Zhou Ziyue and said in a deep voice, "I am her brother here, but not elsewhere."

Zhou Ziyue laughed and said, "Haha, Qiao Jiu, why don't you understand yet?" He challenged, "A person needs strength to stand up. With just these few people in Baiting Tower, how can you defeat me now? How can you protect Wanru?"

"I know you must be very reluctant to accept this reality now, but this is how it is. If you have the ability, expand Baiting Building for a few more years. Once you have a solid foundation here, come and compete with me."

His words made Bai Yanli laugh.

"A few years won't be enough. It will take more than ten years, or even decades."

Zhou Ziyue was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

"Zhou Ziyue, who did you say was the king here?" Bai Yanli asked back.

"I……"

"No, it's me!" Bai Yanli looked at him with a cold and extremely arrogant gaze. Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a group of people shouting from not far away: "The Queen has arrived!"

Everyone was shocked!

The Queen is here!
