Chapter 175 The Crown Prince's Steward
The newcomer was dressed as a butler, and was followed by a group of about twenty guards, each of whom had an arrogant and haughty demeanor.
This man was none other than Jiang Qiusheng, the steward of the Crown Prince's residence.
"Who is it that dares to injure someone from my Crown Prince's residence?" Jiang Qiusheng stepped forward and shouted at the crowd again.
Liu Shengxu didn't want to reveal his identity in front of the people from the Crown Prince's residence at this moment, so he gave Qiao Tinghao a wink, got into the SUV first, and let Qiao Tinghao go forward to deal with it.
“It’s me.” Qiao Tinghao took a step forward, no longer hiding among his guards as before.
"Who...who do you think you are? I don't remember anyone like you in the capital." Jiang Qiusheng sneered.
Although he found Qiao Tinghao's imposing aura quite intimidating, in order not to be looked down upon by the Crown Prince's residence, he still pretended to straighten his back and show his disdain for the person in front of him.
Qiao Tinghao ignored Jiang Qiusheng's attitude and said indifferently, "Oh...so you think you know a lot of important people in the capital? Does that mean people from outside the capital can't come to the capital?"
This Northern Sheng Kingdom belongs to the Emperor. We are all subjects of Northern Sheng, so why can't we enter the capital?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiusheng immediately shouted, "You are leading troops into the capital to rebel without authorization. What's wrong with us stopping you? Even if we kill you, you deserve it."
No one expected Jiang Qiusheng to be so shameless as to slap such a huge accusation on someone. Was he really going to lead thirty or forty soldiers to rebel? Wasn't that just sending them to their deaths for nothing?
The excuses are certainly plausible, but what is the real reason behind them?
They're still outside the city gates, not even inside the capital. It seems that even if they were to rebel in the capital, it wouldn't have taken any real shape yet.
"Oh... I forgot to tell you, I was ordered to secretly escort an important figure to the capital," Qiao Tinghao said mockingly.
"Really? Where is the important person you were escorting? We haven't seen him at all," one of the guards next to Jiang Qiusheng asked in return.
"You have no right to know who we are escorting!" Qiao Zuoyi sneered.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, Jiang Qiusheng roared, "Men, arrest these unidentified people and lock them in jail! They are spies sent by the enemy country to infiltrate the capital!"
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of people surrounded Qiao Tinghao and his group.
Besides the people who came with Jiang Qiusheng, there were also soldiers who had been guarding the city gate.
Seeing that things were escalating, Qin Zhengguang stepped forward and shouted, "What are you trying to do?"
Jiang Qiusheng was too busy being angry to notice when the Imperial Guard Commander appeared, as Qin Zhengguang hadn't said a word.
"Commander Qin, when did you arrive here?" Jiang Qiusheng asked politely as he stepped forward.
Qin Zhengguang said with a half-smile, "I've been standing here the whole time, I arrived before you."
Jiang Qiusheng quickly put on a fawning smile: "Commander Qin, as you can see, these people are dressed strangely; they must be spies from another country trying to infiltrate our capital..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhengguang interrupted him, saying, "Steward Jiang, if His Highness the Crown Prince knew that you were handling things this way, he would probably think you were incompetent, wouldn't he?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhengguang's words, Jiang Qiusheng's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph, when I get back I'll tell the Crown Prince what happened today. Once he's on the throne, let's see how arrogant he can be then," Jiang Qiusheng thought to himself.
Of course, he only dared to think it in his heart; he couldn't say it out loud, or the Crown Prince would skin him alive.
On the surface, he merely snorted coldly: "Even if the Crown Prince were here today, he would investigate thoroughly before daring to let anyone in."
Qin Zhengguang, a commander of the Imperial Guards, was quite displeased that a mere steward had humiliated him.
"Oh...did you check their identities? You can't just convict them because their clothes are a little different, can you?" Qin Zhengguang said to Jiang Qiusheng with a half-smile.
These words stunned Jiang Qiusheng.
He had forgotten that someone had just seen him on the street and hurriedly told him that Li Miao had encountered a group of strange people at the city gate and had been bullied.
Then when he arrived with his men, he saw Li Miao rolling on the ground injured. He concluded that these were the people who had forced their way through the city gate and injured Li Miao.
"Well...they didn't produce any proof of their identities either!" Jiang Qiusheng wanted to argue further.
Qin Zhengguang pointed at Li Miao and asked Jiang Qiusheng, "Ask him if he gave her a chance to get the certificate first."
Li Miao, who was wailing on the side, had been watching the conversation between Jiang Qiusheng and Qin Zhengguang the whole time. Now, feeling guilty, he dared not look Jiang Qiusheng in the eye.
Seeing Li Miao's reaction, Jiang Qiusheng knew that Li Miao had not given her a chance to prove her identity.
“Commander Qin, if you really know their true identities, then please let us know. As long as there are no problems with their identities, we can pretend that nothing happened today,” Jiang Qiusheng said politely to Qin Zhengguang.
Upon hearing Jiang Qiusheng's words, Qiao Tinghao sneered, "You think it's okay to pretend it never happened?"
"You..." Jiang Qiu was so angry and frustrated that she wanted to step forward and hit Qiao Tinghao.
“If you don’t want to lose a leg like him, you can go and try.” Qiao Tinghao drew his pistol and held it in his hand.
At this moment, a man riding a fast horse shouted from afar: "Good news from the west! Good news from the west! Make way! Make way!"
He noticed a large crowd gathered at the city gate, preventing him from passing through quickly, so he had to shout a warning.
As he approached the city gate, he spotted Qiao Tinghao and his entourage. He quickly dismounted and respectfully bowed to Qiao Tinghao, saying, "Young General Qiao, so you've already arrived in the capital!"
"What? General Qiao?"
Who is General Qiao?
"How come the messenger recognizes them?"
Qin Zhengguang was very surprised that these people had actually returned from the west. He had recognized Liu Shengxu before and thought that these people were Liu Shengxu's friends who were escorting him back to Beijing.
Unexpectedly, they were the extraordinary individuals who stirred up trouble in the imperial court during this period.
A few days ago, news of a victory came from the west: five cities of the Western Rong were captured without the court losing a single soldier.
"You... could you be the Qiao family army?" Jiang Qiusheng finally realized that the people in front of him, dressed in strange clothes, were the ones who had captured five cities in Xirong a few days ago.
Qiao Tinghao smiled and nodded: "Sorry to disappoint you, it's us. Surprised?"
