However, County princess Zhang was quick to react. She shouted loudly, "Take action!"
As County princess Zhang's voice fell, the two guards who had been standing straight behind the carriage pounced forward, heading straight for Ying Dong.
County princess Zhang sneered. She came here to cause trouble, how could she not have two skilled guards by her side?
Ying Dong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped back two steps, narrowly avoiding a huge fist that was aimed at his head.
Shu Yu squinted her eyes and said, "Ying Xi, go help your brother."
"Got it." Ying Xi unsheathed the dagger at her waist and ran forward.
However, just as she took a step, a clear voice sounded in her ear, "Guard your mistress."
Ying Xi was taken aback and raised her head to see Meng Yunzheng swiftly passing by her side and rushing forward. He kicked Zhang Maolin, sending him flying, and then joined the fight, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ying Dong to face the two guards.
Yingxi, "..."
She looked at Shu Yu, and the latter cleared her throat, "Impressive."
No wonder she rushed to attack Zhang Maolin as soon as he arrived. This aspect was worth pondering.
With Meng Yunzheng joining the fight, the outcome was predictable. The two guards, one against two against Ying Dong, were already struggling to keep up.
It didn't take long before the two guards couldn't withstand the continuous attacks and kept retreating.
County princess Zhang's proud expression changed. She didn't expect that a mere village lord from a rural family, someone without power or influence like herself, would have such a skilled expert by her side.
Moreover, she clearly didn't regard her, the county princess, with any respect. County princess Zhang didn't know if this woman was ignorant or just bold beyond measure.
But now, it was evident that she was at a disadvantage. County princess Zhang stepped forward and said to the onlookers, "Everyone here is a witness. Lu Xiangjun has shown disrespect to this county princess today. According to the laws of the Da Su Dynasty, disrespecting a superior carries the penalty of public caning, or even execution in extreme cases, to serve as a warning to others."
The onlookers were immediately buzzing with voices. What? Execution?
The members of the Lu family also became nervous, but Zhao Xi had been saying that there was no need to worry, so they could only suppress their anxiety.
County princess Zhang coldly stared at Shu Yu and said, "This county princess originally only wanted to give Lu Xiangjun a small punishment as a warning, but she actually instigated her subordinates to resist, and even seriously injured my brother. From the looks of it, she might even attack this county princess soon. Such a bold and reckless person is a disaster. I don't know which kind soul has time to run to the county office and summon the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County to apprehend this criminal. There will be great rewards for the person who helps me."
The onlookers were startled by County princess Zhang's words. They had never experienced such a situation before.
County princess Zhang spoke with such authority, as if everything was in her control.
Someone in the crowd called out, "County princess Zhang, I'll go and get him for you."
Ding Yuehua gritted her teeth, "It's that old busybody again." What was her relationship with County princess Zhang? Why was she going through so much trouble to help her?
County princess Zhang raised her voice, "Thank you."
She thought to herself, as long as the people under her hand couldn't defeat them, even if the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County came, Lu Shuyu wouldn't dare to resist.
She didn't believe that Lu Shuyu was audacious enough to think that her status as a village lord would be enough to defy the government.
The crowd was in an uproar after County princess Zhang words, with some people gloating, some indifferent, and others looking very worried.
However, just as County princess Zhang words fell, her two guards were kicked out, spitting blood, and lying on the ground unable to get up.
