The carriage continued forward, and when it gradually darkened, Wei An asked Amu to find an inn to rest.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at an inn on the official road.

Yun Qingqing jumped off the carriage with Xiaobai, and Wei An followed closely behind. The two of them and the wolf walked into the post station.

There were quite a few people sitting in the inn at that moment. When they saw Xiaobai, they immediately showed a look of fear in their eyes, and some even shouted in panic.

"The wolf is coming, everyone run~~"

The innkeeper was originally standing behind the counter counting the bills. When he heard the noise, he looked up and was so frightened that his face turned pale. He looked at the white wolf beside Yun Qingqing tremblingly.

Yun Qingqing looked at everyone's reactions and said to them, "Don't be afraid, Xiaobai won't hurt anyone."

After hearing Yun Qingqing's words, no one dared to relax. One timid guest even hid under the table.

"Little girl, don't underestimate the nature of wolves. If it gets hungry or irritated, we will all be in danger. Don't let wolves into the inn." A guest said unhappily.

"That's right, this wolf can't enter the inn. What if it hurts us?"

"Shopkeeper, quickly have this girl drive the white wolf out."

……

Wei An looked at everyone who was talking about opposing Xiao Bai's staying in the inn. His brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face. He shouted loudly, "Shut up!"

This shout resounded like thunder in the inn. Everyone suddenly quieted down and turned their eyes to him.

Wei An looked at everyone unhappily and said, "Xiao Bai won't hurt you, so stop yelling. If it wanted to hurt you, do you think you would still have the chance to stand here and yell?"

Everyone looked at each other, some not knowing what to say. Then a tall, thin guest stood up and said, somewhat unconvinced, "You talk nicely, but if this wolf hurts us, can you take responsibility?"

Wei An snorted, crossed his arms over his chest, and said, "Of course I can take responsibility. If Xiaobai hurts you, I will take care of you for the rest of your lives. But Xiaobai will definitely not hurt you, so don't worry about it."

When everyone heard what Wei An said, no one said anything. The white wolf seemed quite obedient and didn't rush over to pounce on them without noticing them.

Yun Qingqing looked at Wei An defending Xiaobai and felt a little more favorable towards him. Wei An had a bad temper, but he was not a bad person.

No one objected to Xiaobai staying in the inn anymore. Yun Qingqing and Wei An found a seat by the window and ordered some food.

Everyone stared at Xiaobai, afraid that it would suddenly turn into a wolf and hurt them.

Xiaobai didn't like being stared at by everyone, so he walked out of the inn.

"Xiaobai, don't go too far." Yun Qingqing saw Xiaobai leaving and reminded it.

Xiaobai responded with a "humph."

Wei An's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he thought to himself: This Xiaobai is a wolf that understands human nature.

After Xiaobai left, everyone's tense expressions relaxed and they continued chatting.

Someone sighed and said, "That man from the Protectorate Palace was convicted of treason and not only was his property confiscated and exiled, but he was also burned to death in a fire. How tragic."

Someone retorted, "What's so tragic about that? The people from the Protectorate's Mansion colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country, and they deserved this fate."

"Yes, they deserve it. This is God opening his eyes and punishing the Protectorate for collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Everyone was talking bad about the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, and Wei An was furious. He slammed the table, stood up, and glared at it.

"Shut up! You know nothing, yet you're talking nonsense here. The Duke of Protectorate would never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. They are loyal and have made so many contributions to the Great Zhou. How could they do such a thing? Even if their property is confiscated and they are exiled, it is a false accusation!" Wei An said angrily.

Everyone was frightened by Wei An's momentum. Some people said unconvincedly, "The emperor has already convicted him, how could it be false?"

Wei An glared at him and said, "Your Majesty is also a human being, and humans make mistakes. Perhaps some treacherous minister gossiped about this in your ear and brought disaster to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion."

When Shitou heard Wei An's words, he was so frightened that he hurried forward and whispered: "Young Master, you can't say this. If it gets to the emperor's ears, it will cause trouble."

Wei An stiffened his neck and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? I'm telling the truth. The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was wronged, and I want to speak up for them.

These people are completely ignorant and just follow the crowd, saying things they don't even consider how they would be able to live their current peaceful lives if the Duke of Huguo's Mansion hadn't been guarding the border. What an ungrateful bunch of villains!"

Everyone felt embarrassed after being scolded by Wei An.

Someone sneered, "You're just a young boy, what do you know about national affairs? This Protectorate Palace must have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country to end up like this. If you keep talking nonsense here, be careful or we will report you to the authorities."

When Wei An heard this, he became even more angry and said, "Just go. Do you think I'm afraid of you ungrateful and brainless villains?"

Someone said sarcastically, "You are so protective of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, is there any connection between you and them?"

Wei An retorted, "I have nothing to do with the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, but the people there are all heroes. They defend their country and keep the Great Zhou Kingdom safe. If they hadn't risked their lives to protect the border, would you be able to eat and chat here in peace? You people only know how to talk behind people's backs, but you don't know how to be grateful. Sooner or later, you will get your comeuppance!"

After hearing Wei An's words, some people looked guilty, while others remained unmoved.

A fat man said angrily, "Even if they have made contributions in the past, they are now guilty of treason and cannot be forgiven."

Wei An glared at him, "I told you they were wronged! Can't you use your brains to think about it? The Duke of Protectorate has been loyal for generations, how could they suddenly betray the country? There must be a conspiracy. You guys are a bunch of brain-dead guys who only know how to follow the trend and talk nonsense without using your brains."

"Perhaps the Protectorate is loyal on the surface, but secretly collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

Wei An retorted to the man who was talking: "Your head is filled with paste, all you know is to spout shit here. If you were really like this in the Duke of Protectorate Mansion, how could you have lived a peaceful life for so long?"

Yun Qingqing quietly watched Wei An arguing for the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and her liking for him grew a little more.

She was wrong before. This is not the stupid son of a landlord. To be able to say such words, this kid is not stupid.

"You are too arrogant, kid. I have to teach you a lesson today." The guest became angry when he heard him scolding and shouted angrily.

"Let's all come together and let this kid know what it means to speak ill of others." Another person said angrily.

Wei An, however, was not afraid at all. He retorted to them, "You brainless guys, are you trying to teach me a lesson? Don't you even know your own worth?"

Shitou saw this and tugged at Wei An's sleeve and whispered, "Master, please stop talking. Amu has gone to feed the horses. If you cause public outrage, I won't be able to defeat them."

"Shut up! Leave me alone!" Wei An scolded him. He could tolerate other things, but he couldn't tolerate it when he mentioned the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

The eldest son of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion saved his life. He was a hero in his heart and he would not allow anyone to say anything bad about him and his family.

Everyone was so angry at Wei An's words that their faces turned blue. A big man with a face full of flesh said angrily: "You are too poisonous, kid. If I don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know your place." As he said that, the big man swung his fist and hit Wei An.

Amu went to feed the horses, and only Shitou was with Wei An.

"How dare you! Don't hit my young master!" Shi Tou saw someone trying to hit his young master, so he stood in front of his young master and shouted at the big man.
