Chapter 1867: Chapter 1855: Ancestor Lady

At that moment, it was all about the adrenaline rush. Clenching his teeth, he landed a punch, knocking Prince Buhe to the ground. He wanted to kick him a couple more times, but his injuries had just healed.

As the saying goes, “It’s a hundred days to heal bones and tendons,” and he had more than just one broken bone. If it were on the grasslands, he would have to lie down for at least three months.

After taking those pills from Wang Yongzhu, although it was quite painful at the time, they had a peculiar effect on his injuries.

After more than two months, he was able to walk around, and his daily activities weren’t impeded anymore. As long as he didn’t engage in sudden vigorous activities, there were no issues.

But if he were to engage in high-intensity and range-of-motion activities like hitting someone, that would be a bit uncomfortable.

Prince Bayar now wouldn’t say anything else; protecting his own life was his top priority. He knew that if he didn’t take care of himself, and if his bones broke or dislocated again, it would be troublesome.

Unlike in the Chu State, where the weak-as-chicken-literature scholars were popular, on the grasslands, having a problem with one’s bones would be terrible; one might even have their inheritance rights revoked.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand, signaling to the Great Chu Soldiers following him and Wang Yongzhu: “You guys, go give him a good beating! If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility!”

Those Great Chu Soldiers naturally looked down on him. A prince from the grasslands dared to give them orders? Does he think too highly of himself?

It was only when Wang Yongzhu silently nodded that the soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, delivering a round of punches and kicks to Prince Buhe and his lackeys.

To show that he wasn’t idle, Prince Bayar, although he couldn’t join the fight physically, resorted to verbal attacks from the sidelines.

Following the rhythm of Prince Buhe getting beaten, he insulted with hands-on-hips, “You blind bastards! Do you know who this lady is? You dare to flirt with her? Do you have a few spare heads to lose on your shoulders? Listen up, from now on in this Wang City, when you meet this lady, you should be even more respectful than when you see me! Got it?”

“Whoever dares to mess with this lady is messing with me! You all know my usual methods. If you’re not afraid of your entire family being thrown into the wild to feed the wolves, go ahead and try!”

Although Prince Bayar’s voice was not loud, there were quite a few grasslanders nearby, including spies from various families and bystanders.

They naturally heard it, and they all turned to look at Wang Yongzhu.

This girl clearly didn’t look like someone from the grasslands, and nobody had heard of someone new becoming a favored person in Wang City recently. Not even Prince Muhal had married a new Princess Consort.

Speaking of the grasslands, the most beautiful and famous woman from Chu was none other than Queen Ah Lan. Could it be her? Otherwise, why would this little tyrant Bayar call her “aunt”? With such respect?

But it didn’t add up! The fame of Queen Ah Lan was well-known across the grasslands. Unlike in Great Chu, noblewomen here could often come out to ride and enjoy themselves.

Especially Queen Ah Lan, every time she went out, she attracted the attention of everyone on the grasslands. Everyone remembered her true appearance vividly and wouldn’t mistake her.

Although this woman from Great Chu was also very beautiful, she was not as goddess-like as Queen Ah Lan.

Therefore, everyone had some doubts in their hearts.

However, some smart ones glanced at the direction Wang Yongzhu came from, noticing the Great Chu Country soldier guards following her and the familiarity shown by Chu merchants upon seeing her.

They speculated that she might be a member of this Great Chu Diplomatic Mission?

But there was no news of any noblewoman in this mission, right? Could she be a family member of the mission?

What kind of identity could make Prince Bayar show such respect?

The more they thought about it, the more they found Wang Yongzhu’s identity mysterious, with many riddles. For a moment, everyone became cautious.

No one noticed that a few people showed surprise, exchanged a few words, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

With this commotion, some low-level officials who had been dispatched here earlier saw the situation escalating and hurriedly went to find their superiors to deal with it.

Since special attention had been instructed here initially, those responsible for maintaining order on the grasslands also hurried over.

Once these forces converged, they saw that the area was blocked off completely and headed directly over.

As they walked, they drove the onlookers on both sides aside. Unlike in Great Chu, those responsible for safety in Wang City used whips to disperse people directly.

The herdsmen were accustomed to this. Seeing the situation, they hurriedly backed away.

The Great Chu merchants, at the guards’ reminder, stepped back behind their stalls to avoid unnecessary trouble. Even if they could regain face later, why endure pain needlessly?

Therefore, they quickly cleared a path for the soldiers from Wang City.

Directly in the path were Wang Yongzhu and her guards.

The leader, with a vicious look, waved his hand before anyone could stand still: “Arrest all the troublemakers!”

The soldiers under him were all large and fierce-looking men. Upon hearing the order, they lunged towards Wang Yongzhu.

Especially the one leading, who aimed his whip at Wang Yongzhu as if intending to tear her skin apart.

The other party arrived slightly later and fell behind. The leader, Batu, upon witnessing this, cried out desperately, “Stop—,” but it was too late.

The whip was already about to hit, its target unmistakably Wang Yongzhu’s face.

Even the bystanders couldn’t help but gasp, unable to bear the sight of a delicate beauty being disfigured on the spot.

Just as the screams of horror lingered, another scream pierced the sky: “Waaah—Aunt, please spare me—.”

Everyone looked up to see that Wang Yongzhu, quick and nimble, had grabbed Prince Bayar and shoved him in front.

Seeing the whip about to lash Prince Bayar’s face, the whip-wielder’s expression changed. If even one hair on this little ancestor was harmed, the entire family might be fed to the wolves by Prince Muhal.

He could only inwardly demand help!

The whip came so sharply that there was no retracting it, only watching helplessly.

Arriving from behind, Batu was utterly despairing. If this little ancestor were harmed, everyone present, including himself, would have to pay with their lives.

Just as fast, Wang Yongzhu snatched Bayar’s belt, flicked it around the whip, and with a slight toss, sent the whip-wielder flying into a stone wall not far away.

He spat a mouthful of blood and passed out.

The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Prince Bayar, having narrowly escaped death, was weak-kneed and pale, taking a long time to recover.

Suddenly, a group of people crowded around him with concerned inquiries, “Prince Bayar, are you all right?”

“Prince Bayar, are you okay?”

…

With a darkened face, Bayar brushed off the sycophants and walked up to the man with the sinister look from earlier, giving him a direct slap across the face.
