"You don't understand This King, but This King understands you. The person you want to deal with is also someone This King wants to protect." Tuoba Rui said and issued his final ultimatum, "You can either scram back or start a war. You choose."
Hua Shengxiong saw that Tuoba Rui had ripped off his face, and also pulled down his face: "Battle King wants to fight with me under the imperial wall? Aren't you afraid of the emperor blaming you? "
"You barged into the palace with ill intentions after meditating behind closed doors. This King warns you that not only will you not listen, but you will go to war. This King was also forced to do so." The expression on Tuoba Rui's face was cold, the words he said was truly shocking.
The guard felt his face twitch. His master had been led astray by his wife, so he had learned how to speak with a straight face.
Hua Shengxiong fumed. If the Emperor did not give the order, the Battle King would not have a name, but if they were to fight now, the Battle King had his reasons, he did not have it.
"Battle King, we are subjects of the same country, do not be too ruthless." Hua Shengxiong said fiercely before he left.
"Depends on my family's Xiao Ge's mood." Tuoba Rui said.
Hua Shengxiong almost staggered and fell, wasn't this too brazen!
He had no choice but to turn back.
Tuoba Rui watched as the palanquin left, and also walked in another direction.
"Your Highness, the manor is on the other side." The guard reminded him that he was wrong.
"Who said I was going back?"
"What about you?" The guard recovered from his questioning and said, "The wangfei will duel twice a day. It seems like she will only return home at night."
"She thinks it's troublesome, so she'll take care of two of them together." Tuoba Rui said with certainty.
The guard was doubtful. Could the prince guess correctly?
When Tuoba Rui arrived at Hua Ruge's door, he saw Hua Ruge return with two unconscious Hua Clan disciples behind him. They were obviously prisoners brought back after a duel.
The guards around Tuoba Rui all stared with wide eyes. As expected, the Duke and Princess Hua-Yang had the same thoughts.
Hua Ruge ordered the guards to press the person inside, then walked to Tuoba Rui's side and asked: "Was my guess correct? Has he gone to the palace? "
"He went, he was stopped by me." Seeing her high-spirited look, the corner of Tuoba Rui's mouth curved slightly as he patiently replied.
Hua Ruge patted his shoulder and said: "Good job."
The guard sweated. This was the first time he saw someone order the prince around like a thug.
Then, something happened that almost made his eyeballs fall out. Tuoba Rui seemed to be already used to it, he only said: I'm done, why should I care about food?
Hua Ruge very straightforwardly nodded, "Eat whatever you want."
The two of them walked in, leaving the two guards dumbstruck. Wasn't this prince's transformation a little too huge?
Su Nianxia stayed in the house the whole time. Seeing that he had caught another two, he said puzzledly as he walked out: "Hey, Little Big Brother, it's already over since you hit me, why did you catch it back?"
In the end, they bumped into Hua Ruge and Tuoba Rui who had just walked in.
"Battle King." Su Nianxia was surprised, and immediately bowed.
"No need for formalities." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.
Su Nianxia looked at the two of them and whispered: "Why are you capturing me?"
"You'll know about that in the future." Hua Ruge winked at her.
Su Nianxia pouted in dissatisfaction, then said: "Oh right, I remember that I have to train properly today, I'll go back first, and won't disturb you guys."
As he spoke, he slipped away.
"You've come, otherwise you would have pestered me to ask why." Hua Ruge shook his head.
"A sensible girl." Tuoba Rui confirmed.
Hua Ruge's eyes flashed, but she did not say anything.
As the two of them entered the hall, Tuoba Rui took a sip of tea and said, "You won't be able to hold on for long.
"I'm afraid he doesn't have the time to jump. He can only let himself be manipulated by me." Hua Ruge smiled and said, like a fox.
Tuoba Rui looked at her and knew that she had some tricks up her sleeves, so he was not in a hurry to ask, and only looked at her quietly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hua Ruge felt a little uncomfortable from his gaze.
"Good." Tuoba Rui spoke the truth.
Hua Ruge realized gloomily that Yun Che's single sentence was enough to make him speechless.
"The next step is just a little less motivated. How about you do me a favor?" Hua Ruge asked again, in order to ensure the expected results.
Tuoba Rui did not make a sound.
"This time, all you have to do is use your mouth. You don't have to do anything." Hua Ruge promised.
"It doesn't matter if you contribute, as long as there's a reward." Tuoba Rui laughed lightly, and then pulled Hua Ruge into his embrace from the side.
Hua Ruge was also used to it and asked: "There's no problem with the remuneration, name your price."
"Very simple. Kiss me." Tuoba Rui said without breathing or blushing.
"Girl, I'm not selling myself for show." Hua Ruge snorted.
Tuoba Rui thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly: "You have talent?"
"Of course, don't look down on others." Hua Ruge said full of energy.
"What?"
"Do you want to try your dog beating skill?"
"It's better if you sell yourself. You will definitely starve to death if you do so." Tuoba Rui said viciously.
"?"
Hua Ruge consecutively fought on the stage in front of the Hua Clan's gate for four days, kidnapping eight people from the younger generation of the Hua Clan. Just as Tuoba Rui had expected, Hua Shengxiong already could not sit still any longer.
This was because so many Heavenly Kings were already overturning the sky, and the news had already spread to other cities. For the grand Duke's Mansion to remain at a loss even after so many days had passed, it was just a joke.
The dignity of the First Family was gone, and from then on, it became a topic of conversation.
The other side of this matter was Hua Ruge. Her name had spread throughout the surrounding cities, yet she was born a commoner, yet she dared to challenge the most powerful family.
Right now, a word that a parent teaching their child was sure to say was to learn from Hua Ruge.
It was weird that Hua Shengxiong was able to sit down, but before he could do anything, a huge uproar occurred in the imperial court.
Three things happened that day.
First of all, the governor and the mayor of the northern border had deducted the pay of the soldiers. After so many years of embezzlement, the evidence and stolen money was transported to the capital by the elite soldiers of the Battle King.
The second matter, as the host of this matter, the Battle King had stated in the court that there must be a mastermind behind this matter, and requested that this matter be investigated thoroughly.
The third matter was that hundreds of officials had jointly impeached Hua Shengxiong. They had taken out dozens of letters to prove that Hua Shengxiong had instigated the embezzlement case.
After Hua Shengxiong heard the news, he was completely stunned. His spy at the border area had been pulled out by Tuoba Rui, so he did not know that the two of them were found out. Although the letter was written by him, the mastermind behind the corruption was clearly the emperor.
The Emperor borrowed his hand to control the Battle King, but now that the situation had blown up, the Emperor could not sit idly by and admit that he was the one who did it, and could only find someone to take the blame.
No matter how he looked at it, he was sure of it.
There were those from the Hua Clan who had turned the tables, as well as those who were neutral. In short, under the situation, no one dared to speak up for Hua Shengxiong.
These people were most likely the political enemies of the Hua family, so they very quickly formed a chain to impeach him. Furthermore, they were very confident, because the one they wanted to investigate was the Battle King.
It showed that the Battle King was also dissatisfied with the Hua Clan. Although their actions were very secretive, they felt that with someone supporting them, no one would be able to turn their backs on Hua Shengxiong.
The emperor was anxious too. He hated Tuoba Rui for killing his men in his heart, but he hated this bunch of officials who would randomly impeach him because they didn't understand him.
In the end, he had no choice but to summon Hua Shengxiong and prepare to have a talk with him.
Hua Shengxiong decided to enter the palace when Hua Ruge finished calculating his timing. Thus, she once again carried her rod and went to the Hua Clan's gate to lie down. She hummed a song and tied up two people before returning home.
When she reached home, she found that Yan Zixing and Tuoba Yu had come.
Hua Ruge gave Yan Zixing a thumbs up, "Brother Yan, good job."
That day, she stole two things from the City Lord's Mansion. Other than the account book that was destroyed by the Governor, there was also the letter Hua Shengxiong wrote to instruct the City Lord to act.
Drinking three days ago, these were the letters in the bag she gave Yan Zixing.
She knew that the mastermind behind this was the Emperor, so handing it over to the Emperor was naturally useless. Hence, she had allowed Yan Zixing to be handed over to the political enemies of the Hua Clan.
After all, with so many people watching, the emperor could not afford to act selfishly in public. He would definitely punish Hua Shengxiong.
In this way, her goal was achieved.
"Mighty Brother Hua." Yan Zixing said: "I had originally thought that it would not have such a huge effect, but I never thought that you would actually change Battle King's mind to use this as a push, you are awesome."
"Brother Yan, you flatter me." Hua Ruge spoke modestly, laughing complacently.
"Little big brother, no matter how I think about it, I never thought that you would have such a trick up your sleeve. It's too sinister." Su Nianxia sighed from the side.
She felt that she could already view the destructive force created by Hua Ruge calmly, but she didn't expect that she still underestimated her level.
"Xia Xia is wrong." Tuoba Yu shook his head: "This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy."
Su Nianxia asked with a face of doubt: "What solution is there to this scheme?"
Hua Ruge felt that this girl was just a curious baby.
"The plot lies heavily in the scheme, while the plot lies heavily in the execution of the heart." Yan Zixing said again:
"Brother Hua had already announced in front of the Hua Clan that he would punish them openly.
The king and the Duke of Hua knew that this was a scheme, but they had no choice but to do it. This is the scheme. "
Su Nianxia looked at Hua Ruge with an even more worshipful expression. He floated over and pulled her sleeve: "Little Big Brother, you're too amazing. Just teach me."
Hua Ruge ignored the curious baby.
"Those who seek to win in the open will be magnanimous, and those who win will be satisfied." Tuoba Yu voiced out his evaluation.
"Fifth Prince is right, we should drink." Hua Ruge's eyes lit up.
"I'm going to buy wine, so I'll treat it as paying the tuition fee. Little brother, you can't go back on your word. You have to teach me how to deal with others." The chance that Su Nianxia found for him to show off slipped away like smoke.
Hua Ruge was stunned, had she promised him before? What did he say about repudiating the debt?
