If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

"What kind of expression do you have? Do you think I'm someone who likes to cause trouble?"

"Yes"

In this regard, Crown Prince Li Junren gave his approval.

"Hmph, they have no trust at all. I'm so disappointed in them."

"Okay, stop acting, what do you want to do?"

“My student has been framed. I’m borrowing someone to go to the Imperial Guard to have a talk with them.”

"What? You want to borrow my Crown Prince's Army to cause trouble for the Imperial Guards? No way."

Li Junren was now extremely glad that he had asked one more question earlier, otherwise he would have caused a lot of trouble. The Imperial Guards were the armed force protecting the capital. Zhou Wu came to borrow money, which was obviously an attempt to use his status as the Crown Prince.

"Look at you, I told you, I'm just going to ask for some statements."

Zhou Wu truthfully recounted the whole story of how the students were arrested to Li Junren.

It was obvious that Li Junren also sensed that something was wrong.

"Why would the Imperial Guards be involved in this?"

"Yeah, I also felt something was off, that's why I asked you to lend me someone."

"Yes, you can lend people, but just don't cause trouble."

After a brief moment of thought, Li Junren decided to lend the money to Zhou Wu. After all, it was Zhou Wu's student who had been arrested, and at this time, both for public and private reasons, Li Junren had to stand by Zhou Wu's side.

"Ah."

Once the person is in Zhou Wu's hands, we'll deal with what happens next.

. . . . . . .

Li Junren was also generous, directly transferring fifty of the Crown Prince's soldiers to Zhou Wu.

The Crown Prince's Guard is the Crown Prince's exclusive bodyguard. In the entire Great Dragon Empire, only two people can enjoy this organized private bodyguard service: the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

However, all the soldiers in the world belong to the emperor's guards, but the crown prince only has a guard of two thousand men, which is still quite remarkable.

Zhou Wu led the Crown Prince's army directly to the Imperial Guard's gate.

"His Royal Highness?"

The Imperial Guards spotted the Crown Prince's Army from afar. In the capital, each army had its own unique carvings and color schemes. For example, the Imperial Guards were mainly black, but the Crown Prince's Army was different. In addition to protecting the Crown Prince's safety, they often served as a ceremonial guard, so their armor and ornaments were mostly gold, which was very flamboyant and made them easy to spot from a distance.

That's why the Imperial Guards saw the Crown Prince's army but mistook them for the Crown Prince himself.

"I am Zhou Wu, the Grand Commander of the South China Sea, and I have been ordered to ask you a few questions."

Seeing that the Crown Prince was not in the ranks, the Imperial Guards reverted to their arrogant demeanor.

"Hmph, no matter what your rank is, once you're in the territory of my Imperial Guard, you have to obey my Imperial Guard's rules. If you want to take away any of my Imperial Guard members, you'll need His Majesty's decree."

Zhou Wu knew it wouldn't go so smoothly, but he didn't expect these Imperial Guards to be so arrogant.

Looks like we need to get serious.

"Papa~"

Without saying a word, Zhou Wu went up and slapped the man who had just spoken twice.

This action stunned the Imperial Guards, and even the Crown Prince's troops dared not utter a sound.

Brother, we are the Crown Prince's Army, not the Japanese Army. Aren't you being a little too arrogant?

After a long while, the man who had been beaten glared at Zhou Wu and pointed at him.

"You dare to attack the Imperial Guards? This is rebellion! Guards, arrest him!"

The man shouted, and although those around him were somewhat unwilling, military orders were absolute, and they all drew their weapons and surrounded Zhou Wu and the others.

As expected, the worst-case scenario came to pass. Although the Crown Prince's army was very reluctant, they had no choice but to draw their weapons and protect Zhou Wu.

"How dare you! I think you're the one who's going to rebel. You're just a lowly soldier in the Imperial Guard. Without His Majesty's orders, you dare to touch the nobles of the empire."

Only then did the man realize that Zhou Wu was not only an imperial nobleman but also the Grand Commander of the South China Sea, while he was merely a squad leader of the Imperial Guard. They were not even in the same league. However, the die was cast and there was no turning back.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither daring to make the first move.

But just then, a commotion broke out in the military camp.

A warrior dressed in general's armor rushed over.

"Master Zhou."

Upon seeing Zhou Wu, the man raised his hand in a polite greeting.

"you are?"

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. The other party was very humble and gave Zhou Wu a lot of face. Zhou Wu didn't know if the other party was acting or was genuinely unaware of the situation.

"I am Zhou Zheng, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards."

"Oh, so you're from the same clan. But is this how you treat your own clan?"

The deputy commander's rank is much lower than Zhou Wu's.

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity?"

His subordinates were unaware of the gravity of the situation, but Zhou Zheng knew Zhou Wu very well.

It is said that he was favored by everyone in the royal family, from the retired emperor and the emperor down to the empress and the crown prince.

It is said that the once arrogant fourth prince was also sent to fish in the South China Sea.

In any case, so far, no one who has offended Zhou Wu has had a good ending.

Thinking of this, Deputy Commander Zhou Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, wondering why his men had offended this killing god.

"Deputy Commander, he hit someone."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng's expression suddenly turned serious. Although Zhou Wu was favored, had a lot of influence, and was well-connected, it didn't mean he could beat up the Imperial Guards at will. The Imperial Guards were the most important protective force in the capital. If, as his subordinates said, Zhou Wu had indeed made trouble and beaten one of his own men, then this matter would probably not be resolved so easily.

"Lord Zhou, what is the meaning of this?"

However, Zhou Zheng did not make a judgment based on his subordinate's words. Instead, he questioned Zhou Wu in a questioning tone.

"I did hit him, but aren't you going to ask why I hit him?"

"Oh, then I'd like to hear Lord Zhou's reasonable explanation."

“I was ordered by the Crown Prince to come and question a few people, but this person not only refused to cooperate, but also interfered, even saying that the Crown Prince’s orders were not valid in the Imperial Guards. Do you think it would be too lenient for me to slap him twice?”

Looking at his subordinates, who remained silent out of guilt, Zhou Zheng's heart sank. It seemed that right and wrong were quite obvious.

"I'm sorry, Lord Zhou. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. I will definitely discipline him more strictly."

"That's your problem. You've already wasted a lot of time. Quickly bring the people we're looking for here. I need to report back to the Crown Prince."

"No problem, absolutely no problem, but I don't know which people they are?"

"They are..."

Zhou Wu recited the names of those people one by one, and Zhou Zheng immediately ordered them to be called over. Coincidentally, the squad leader was among them.

"Sir, I don't know what mistake these boys made?"

While waiting, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but ask, "The Imperial Guards have never encountered anything like this before. Judging from their demeanor, these people seem to have committed some kind of crime."

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand. It's just a simple questioning. They arrested several suspects in the capital a few days ago for allegedly organizing cult activities, so they need to ask about some details."
