Children of Loulan

Chapter 334 Gangster

He himself, with several elite guards, stayed where he was and continued to track down the two thugs who were causing trouble.

However, what was unexpected was that just as Hanguli's carriage was about to leave the slum, the two hooligans actually gathered a group of rabble and blocked their way. Ziya stared at the man in the lead with cold eyes. His face was bruised and swollen, and he looked very embarrassed.

Ziya shouted in a deep voice: "It was you who almost hurt my wife!" Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen well-trained guards followed him and rushed forward like arrows. They quickly surrounded the carriage in the middle and formed an indestructible line of defense.

The thugs who came with the gangsters looked at the rather spectacular and menacing formation in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in their hearts. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing panic. One of them forced himself to calm down and asked with courage: "Didn't you swear before that this woman was just a poor creature who was not favored by the family? And... she only has a maid who can only do some fancy moves and an old and weak nanny! But... why are there so many well-trained and fully armed guards now?"

At this moment, the gangster's face turned pale, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He originally thought that this operation would be easy to succeed. He sold the beautiful woman without anyone noticing, killed the old woman and the maid, and left the capital after getting the silver. Even if her family found out that she was missing, it would take at least three or five days, and by then he would have already fled and no one could find him.

But he never expected that in just the time it took him to find a few helpers, so many powerful guards would appear beside the woman like gods. Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, he opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't make a sound.

However, before he could respond, Ziya pointed his finger at each of them again with a stern face, and shouted: "So you are all in the same group! Then, you must be involved in the attempt to murder my wife!"

As Ziya finished speaking, the guards behind him moved in unison, unhesitatingly drawing their extremely sharp sabers. For a moment, cold light flashed, swords and sabers crisscrossed, and a crisp sound of metal friction resounded all around. The guards all looked solemn, staring intently at the enemy in front of them, ready to fight, as if they would rush forward immediately at the command and kill the invading enemy without a single piece of armor left.

However, the people that the gangster gathered were all street thugs and hooligans who only picked on the weak and bullied the weak. These guys usually made a living by bullying the poor people who were powerless and had no power to fight back, especially the poor people in the slums, who were their frequent targets of bullying.

At this moment, when they saw the sharp real knife flashing with cold light and the guards who were ready and aggressive, they were like frightened birds, and were instantly scared out of their wits. They scrambled and fled in panic, fearing that they would lose their lives here if they were a little slow. After all, they had only heard the description of the woman in the gangster's mouth that she was as beautiful as a flower, so they came to find out out of curiosity, and never intended to sacrifice their precious lives for this.

The two thugs were terrified when they saw the helpers they had finally recruited fled in the blink of an eye. At this time, they no longer cared about the severe pain in their bodies and only wanted to escape from this place of trouble.

But how could Ziya let them go so easily? His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Catch them!" As the order sounded, two well-trained guards rushed forward like arrows.

One of the guards kicked one of the thugs in the back with great precision; the other guard followed suit and kicked the other thug in the leg. Instantly, two muffled sounds were heard, and the two thugs were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Then, the two guards stepped forward skillfully, one holding each of the two unlucky guys firmly, pinning them down so that they could no longer escape.

Until this moment, the two ignorant thugs finally woke up from their dreams and realized that they had stirred up a hornet's nest and provoked someone who should never be provoked.

So, they burst into tears, kowtowed, and begged for mercy, "Master, please spare us, please spare us! We are so blind and ignorant that we are blinded by greed! We were just confused for a moment and wanted to play a little joke on Madam. We didn't mean any harm at all! Please have mercy on us and let us go!"

Ziya sat on the horse with a stern face, completely ignoring the pitiful cries of the two hooligans. He gave an order in a cold tone: "Shut their mouths, tie them up, and take them back to the palace!" This order was as sharp as a cold wind.

When the two thugs heard the word "Royal Palace", their faces turned pale as paper, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, as if they were shrouded in an invisible fear. They originally tried to beg for mercy again, but now they found that they had lost the opportunity to speak. The guards around Ziya acted quickly, skillfully carrying out his orders, ruthlessly blocking the thugs' mouths and tying them up.

At the same time, Ziya sent someone to inform the Baixi people that the target had been successfully captured. Then, he turned around and carefully protected the Crown Princess and continued to move towards the palace. Along the way, the team maintained an orderly and solemn pace, and no one dared to make a sound.

Just as the team reached the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion, they ran into the crown prince coming back from court. Keremu saw Hanguli getting off the carriage, and he was delighted and quickly quickened his pace to move forward.

When they came to the carriage, Keremu stretched out his hand and gently helped Hanguli out of the carriage. Hanguli raised her head slightly and looked into Keremu's eyes. Their gazes met, as if time had stopped at this moment. Seeing this, the people around him saluted respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Keremu smiled and looked at Hanguli gently, then turned to the crowd and said, "Well, no need to be so polite!" His voice was full of majesty and affinity, making people feel both awed and kind.

Then, he turned his gaze to Hanguli and asked softly, "Li'er, where did you go out today? Where did you go?" After that, he gently supported Hanguli and slowly walked towards the interior of the palace.

However, before Hanguli could respond, his sharp eyes caught two people tied up behind the guard. He frowned slightly, his face darkened, and he asked in a low and majestic voice: "Who are these two people? What happened?"
