Chapter 17: The Number of Princes

The Nine Provinces Alliance State is one of Zhu Tianye's huge forces, and it is better to classify it as a ruling empire than an alliance state, that is, a group that elects a prince to command and maintain the entire alliance by several states and counties. This system is not like the ancient feudal system, there is a hidden danger of rebellion, the alliance departments must know the importance of the collective interests of the alliance state, if the country is harmed by themselves, the rest of the main affairs will be killed, the alliance state with the support of the main parliament is strong, can not be decomposed. Princes have the right to suppress a state and a county, not anyone's blood relatives and cronies, and those who have the ability to do it. In the entire Xingyu Prefecture, Hou Fengwang participated in the administration of Banzhou, and led 50,000 black armor troops to garrison Yeyang City, spying on the war in front of the Cambrian Pass.

There are five sons under the wind of Shenzheng, the eldest son and the third son can fight a hundred in martial arts, and they are rare fierce generals in the army of the Nine Prefectures Alliance; the second son practiced with the elders of the Cassia Gate when he was young, and I heard that he has stood on the threshold of the status of the fairyland, and the excellence of Tianzi far exceeds that of other young leaders of other sects; the five sons were born weak and unable to raise a sword, but they are smart and intelligent, and they can beat the great Confucianism in learning and literature, and are praised as "waiting for the think tank"; as for the four sons, they seem to be ordinary and unsophisticated, and the civil and military affairs are not essential, if they are not always spoiled by the King of Houfeng, outsiders don't know how much to ridicule?

The fourth son is called Shen Ziheng, and he had breakfast in the house today, and because he was bored, he took a retinue to the street to play. The weather was fine, the wind was gentle, and what a good mood, he mentioned a strange bird of color that was rumored to be able to speak, hoping to hear what the strange bird had to say, but he was inadvertently bumped into by a beggar, and glanced at it angrily, and saw that this man was ragged and dirty, and felt insulted, and became even more angry, and ordered his followers to teach the unknown beggar a lesson. The entourage was also a clear-eyed person, and he was afraid that the young master would be so domineering and displeased the master, but when the time came, he would definitely have his share in the crime, so he shouted: "You beggar, quickly hand over the things that stole from my son-in-law!"

Sam Ziheng looked at the beggar with disgust, but saw that the beggar's dirty eyes were also looking at him, but they were not ordinary eyes begging for mercy and holding grudges, they seemed to be fearless gazes, and they were also snooping that was difficult to guess.

"Come on, pluck out the eyes of this for me. The color of Shen Ziheng changed greatly, and a fierce aura was stirred up in his domineering demeanor. The entourage listened to the order and looked at each other, but the young master was so angry, but he hesitated, drew the short knife on his waist, and stabbed it into the beggar's eyes. This thorn is to make the onlookers secretly angry, and take people's eyes lightly, who can be tolerated like this?

Jiang Ming moved like thunder, grabbed the wrist of the attendant, and threw it backwards, and the man fell to the ground under the force, describing it as embarrassing, which made people laugh.

"Who dare to me!" Shen Ziheng roared, and several of his attendants vigilantly surrounded him, and in this border place, the consciousness of defending against assassination was the norm. Jiang Ming pulled the beggar up, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and sneered: "Could it be that King Hou Feng taught his son to be so rampant and bully the people?"

"Haha, people, he is just a prisoner of the Qin Dynasty, a nameless bastard, it is a great favor for me to spare his life, not to mention just taking one of his eyes!"

Jiang Ming frowned, his mood had changed from his previous dislike to anger, he straightened his waist and said, "What about the captive, now he is a beggar without dignity, since he wants to survive, then no one can be trampled on, you are still the son of a prince for such an act?"

"Cheap bastard, what am I going to do to you! If you want to take this trip, I'll show you the gap between our identities. When these words fell, the entourage all punched and kicked at Jiang Ming, the fists and feet had no eyes, but people had eyes, Jiang Ming's scissor legs flew up, and they turned around several times in a row, and they actually kicked all four people over.

"Wow, this person is so powerful, it's time to teach these domineering lackeys some lessons. ”

"Let them bully us ordinary people, and if the officials are powerful, they can kill the people at will!"

"Don't argue, this is the son of Houfeng Wangfu, provoke him, can this person survive?"

......

Several attendants were rolling around on the ground and moaning, but under Jiang Ming's full attack, they could only endure the pain.

"Damn!" Shen Ziheng was furious, picked up the short knife of his entourage, pointed at this reckless villain, and said: "You are really daring, even my people dare to fight, I can assure you with my identity as Prince Houfeng, I want your cheap life!"

"Smack!" The short knife fell to the ground, and Shen Ziheng screamed and hugged his broken arm, his face was pale and fierce, and he looked at the slut who moved in front of him at some point, and said madly: "Bastard, bastard, aren't you afraid that I will punish you nine clans in the Fengwang Mansion?"

"Young man, let's go, you can't stand the anger of the Houfeng Palace!" There was a hoarse shout from the crowd of onlookers, but I don't know who it was, Jiang Ming knew that it was the person who shouted for fear of getting into trouble, so he hid his identity.

Is he afraid of getting into trouble? Jiang Ming doesn't care who he saved now, he is just fighting for his ordinary fate, and he is willing to face all kinds of troubles for the freedom and protection he admires.

"Bang!" This sound fell, and the people on the sidelines were shocked and silent, if it is a capital crime to rebel against Prince Houfeng, then what kind of crime is it to slap the prince?

"You...... You dare to hit me!" Shen Ziheng was stunned, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, reflecting an uncontrollable fierce and hateful gaze, and he roared: "I will break you into ten thousand pieces!"

"Smack!" Another slap, Jiang Ming pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay, okay, you're going to break my body into ten thousand pieces, right? Then break it, satisfy you!" Jiang Ming grabbed the collar of the ginseng Ziheng with one hand, and waved his face with the other hand without stopping.

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

"Bang Bang!"

The successive slaps were like firecrackers bursting, and when the onlookers gloated, they couldn't help but praise this person for being bold, was he the enemy of the Houfeng Palace?

"Smack!" Jiang Ming's last slap knocked the ginseng over, at this time, Prince Houfeng's breath was sluggish, under such a huge and continuous blow, his rich flesh suffered greatly.

Jiang Ming squatted beside Shen Ziheng, who was already afraid to speak, rubbed his neck with the dagger at his waist, and sneered indifferently: "Shen Ziheng, aren't you going to break me into ten thousand pieces? Why don't you speak now? Aren't you a noble prince? How did you become like this now?"

"Acquaintances, kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise you will surely die!" Sam Ziheng struggled to breathe, and the murderous intent in his eyes was about to come out.

Jiang Ming snorted coldly and said, "Do you know what I hate you the most? It's not that you're arrogant, it's that you boast of your dignity and your contempt for the ordinary! I used to be an unknown beggar, and I used to be beaten by a bully often, and even, if I wasn't careful, I would be beaten to death. So, I can only get rid of you scum!"

"Ahh

"Ah~ bastard thing, spare my life, spare my life, spare my life!" Shen Ziheng shouted, his whole body muscles tightened, and his eyes finally jumped with great fear, he had no doubt that this person in front of him was an out-and-out madman, and he would really kill him, Prince Houfeng!

"Stop!" A crisp voice came from the crowd, and everyone recovered from the shock, and stared blankly at the person who spoke, who was actually a woman in pure costume.

Mu Qinglan glanced at the beggar who was also staring at her in a daze, and then looked at Xiang Jiang Ming, as if reminding of something.

Shen Ziheng is the prince of Houfeng, if he really kills him, the relationship between the two will really be irreconcilable, and he will have to bear the terrible anger of a prince.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and pressed down the unevenness in his chest again, but he was a little out of control before, if he really killed Shen Ziheng, they would be really in trouble.

However, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the street, and the thick yellow dust covered it like a haze, Jiang Ming's brows were tightly locked, and he shouted "not good" in his heart!
