The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"Your Highness, you'd better be careful!"

Just as he was still hesitating, a mocking voice rang in his ears, and then he felt a gust of wind rush towards him.

Fortunately, he was no pushover either; his martial arts skills were his most outstanding asset. Since someone was so reckless, he truly couldn't blame himself.

Then, with a sweeping motion, he thrust the dagger in his hand at his opponent like a venomous snake.

Seeing the Second Prince rushing over, a look of surprise flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

Seeing that something was wrong, the two men Yang Ling had sent exchanged a glance and immediately turned and jumped out of the window.

When Yang Kang came to his senses, he was the only one left in the room, and his face immediately fell.

These two people who were just talking about righteous indignation have actually sold themselves out like this?

"Your Highness, you see, everyone will betray you. You might as well just surrender!"

Su Yun's face was full of mockery. He thought that his time was coming to an end today, but he didn't expect that the Second Prince was just here to make a joke.

Yang Kang's eyes were full of fierceness, but when facing the experts in the room, a hint of helplessness also flashed in his eyes.

Now that his men have all run away, he certainly has no chance against them!

"I never imagined that I, a prince, would be threatened by a mere subject like you today. This is truly an eye-opener!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun gave a cold smile: "Since Your Highness feels that you have no chance of winning, why don't we sit down and have a proper chat?"

When Su Yun said this, his lips were full of mockery, and Yang Kang could only grit his teeth.

After all, he really can't beat these people right now.

Left with no other choice, they could only choose to let the matter rest.

However, when news of Yang Kang's affair reached Yang Ling's ears, the Ninth Prince, who had instigated the trouble, was overjoyed.

This two-birds-with-one-stone strategy is really effective.

"How dare a mere subject do such a thing to a prince! Guards, bring all of His Highness's personal guards here! I want to see just how powerful this Su Yun really is!"

A faint smile played on Yang Ling's lips. This kid had finally fallen for it. Now he had a legitimate reason. Today, he would teach Su Yun a lesson, no matter what.

Upon hearing this, An Yu's lips twitched.

"Your Highness, aren't we going a bit too far by doing this?"

Yang Kang is currently being used as a pawn by the Ninth Prince. If things escalate, the Second Prince will definitely be implicated as well.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling shook her head helplessly.

"This matter was started by His Highness the Crown Prince's people; it has nothing to do with us."

A wicked smile played on Yang Ling's lips. Could he be blamed for this? If anyone was to blame, it was Su Yun, that brat who had gone too far by abusing his power.

Upon hearing this, An Yu's lips twitched slightly, but since his lord had said so, he had nothing more to say.

When Su Yun learned that the Ninth Prince had surrounded his residence with his men, his eyes were filled with a cold glint, as if he didn't take these people seriously at all.

"Second Prince, do you think the Ninth Prince will be able to take you away today?"

Su Yun's voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he didn't take the situation seriously at all.

Upon hearing this, Yang Kang's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Lord Su, aren't you going a bit too far with your lawlessness?"

Just as the two were facing off, a commotion broke out outside the mansion, and then a large group of people appeared in the front yard of the Su mansion.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Su residence!"

Su Yun looked at the large group of people outside, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He was, after all, one of the Crown Prince's men, yet these people dared to be so unscrupulous.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling stepped out from the crowd.

"Lord Su, you bullied my second brother last night, and you still dare to point fingers at me today? You have quite the nerve!"

Hearing the thunderous sound, everyone present was startled. They never expected that the Ninth Prince had come to seek justice for the Second Prince.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's lips twitched slightly.

"So it's Your Highness the Ninth Prince. The minor matter from last night is over, and I, Su, have no desire to pursue it any further."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes: "If this matter isn't resolved today, it will likely cause a lot of trouble in the future."

Looking at the Ninth Prince with his angry expression, a hint of disdain flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

Although he is now only a minister, he is still the Crown Prince's man. This kid is so arrogant and disrespectful.

"What does Your Highness mean by saying that?"

Su Yun's eyes were filled with a cold glint, and he looked imposing.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling immediately flew into a rage.

This brat, relying on being the Crown Prince's man, has been provoking me time and time again.

If we don't teach this guy a lesson today, he really won't know who's the boss in this huge Liangzhou.

"Now that you have imprisoned the Second Prince, I have no interest in distinguishing right from wrong. Guards, seize this traitor!"

Yang Ling had no scruples whatsoever; neither the Liang Emperor nor the Crown Prince were of any use in Liangzhou.

When Yang Kang saw his younger brother so fearless of authority for his sake, he was already sobbing uncontrollably. This was no longer just brotherly affection; it was clearly a debt of gratitude that had saved his life.

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately rushed out.

Su Yun looked at the large group of people rushing towards them, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This kid is far too presumptuous, daring to attack my residence!

"Your Highness, what you're doing is a bit too much!"

Hearing Su Yun's exasperated voice, Yang Ling's eyes were full of disdain.

I am, after all, the local tyrant of Liangzhou City. This kid really doesn't know what's good for him!

"Lord Su, you were in the wrong today, which is why I, Your Highness, must seek justice for your second brother!"

After saying this, Yang Ling drew a soft sword from his waist: "This prince can only kill Lord Su with tears in his eyes to apologize to my second brother."

As Yang Ling drew his sword, the people behind him rushed forward in unison.

Poor Su Yun was shot dead before he could even react.
