As these words were spoken, nearly everyone's eyes turned towards Yuwen Heigou.

Even Chen Tang couldn't help but look at him.

The tone of these words was indeed quite arrogant.

The majority of people in Mist Rain Village frowned deeply.

The words spoken sounded so ridiculous, even a bit absurd.

On what grounds?

Someone scoffed.

Others let out a few mocking laughs.

While Shi Hongzhang, Dugu Di, and others did not know Yuwen Heigou, their years in officialdom gave them the ability to perceive that this young man seemed to have some background.

The few didn't rush to speak, instead opting to watch the situation unfold silently.

"Prince Wei?"

At this moment, Yuwen Dong gently spoke, uttering two words.

The previous clamor instantly disappeared, rendering the entire Mist Rain Village silent!

Lu Qing was dumbfounded.

Changsun Ming was full of disbelief.

Chen Tang almost had his jaw drop in shock.

They had long suspected Yuwen Heigou's extraordinary background, but didn't expect he was actually a prince!

"Marshal Ying Liquan of the White Tiger Bureau, pays respects to His Highness Prince Wei!"

Ying Liquan stepped forward a few paces and bowed in salute.

Seeing this, Shi Hongzhang, Dugu Di, and the others hurriedly stepped forward.

Even Yuwen Dong dismounted, nodded slightly, and saluted from a distance.

The Young Marshal Sun Gu reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Lu Qing, looking at Yuwen Heigou with some reluctance.

But under all eyes, everyone else stepped forward, and he couldn't lose decorum, so he lightly jumped off his horse, laughed, and said, "It's been a long time, Your Highness Prince Wei!"

With such a greeting, he managed to get by.

Changsun Ming was both surprised and delighted.

He had indeed heard that after the new emperor ascended, he granted amnesty to the world and rewarded ministers, and he even conferred a Prince Wei.

Unexpectedly, Prince Wei is so young!

Chen Tang's mind flashed, recalling some information about Emperor Qian he had read at the Cyan Dragon Bureau.

Emperor Qian had three sons and a daughter.

The firstborn son, Yuan Qingshan, is the current emperor.

The second prince, Yuan Qinghe, failed in the struggle for the throne.

The daughter is Yuan Qingmu.

And the third prince should be the Prince Wei by his side.

"Yuan Qingmo?"

Chen Tang asked softly.

Yuwen Heigou nodded.

Chen Tang sighed in relief.

It turned out among them there was such a great figure.

Though the trouble they caused was somewhat large, with Prince Wei covering them, it doesn't matter.

This marshal, that capital captain, suspecting him, suspecting Changsun Ming, would they dare suspect Prince Wei?

It's even less likely that Prince Wei is colluding with Nanxia, so the previous framing against them was automatically refuted.

"Your Highness Prince Wei, how is it that you are..."

Shi Hongzhang probed.

Yuan Qingmo said indifferently: "Regarding the Ghost Mother affair, I'll report honestly to my emperor brother once I return to the capital, and then give you all an explanation, so just withdraw the sea arrest document."

Shi Hongzhang and Dugu Di exchanged a glance, hesitating for a moment.

The two were indifferent.

Since Prince Wei spoke thus, they naturally couldn't continue pursuing the matter.

But as for the Profound Celestial Sect...

Shi Hongzhang looked at the nearby White-robed Mystic Master.

The White-robed Mystic Master naturally was unwilling.

But Prince Wei's status was distinguished; he was only the new Observatory Master of Bingzhou City, not in a position to gesture towards Prince Wei.

The White-robed Mystic Master said, "Since His Highness Prince Wei says so, I'll report to the elder once back, presenting today's truth."

"As you wish."

Yuan Qingmo said, "Once back to the capital, I'll personally visit the Great Profound Celestial Temple and have a word with the elders."

The White-robed Mystic Master remained silent.

Yuan Qingmo said, "You all take your troops back; there's nothing here."

Shi Hongzhang and Dugu Di could only respond and retreat.

Yuan Qingmo revealed his identity, with just a few words, persuading a faction to withdraw.

But Lu Qianshan and his wife did not relax, still nervously observing the happenings outside.

Kou Zhenshan of the Dragon Tiger Guard's gaze swept over Yuan Qingmo, having already formed a plan in his heart.

Mist Rain Village, various factions gathered.

He was already trapped with no way out.

Yet the appearance of Prince Wei brought a glimmer of hope!

If he could capture Prince Wei, perhaps there was a chance to escape alive.

"Why have the two come here?"

Yuan Qingmo looked towards Yuwen Dong and Sun Gu.

Sun Gu smiled widely and said, "Coincidentally, also for an arrest."

"Arrest whom?"

Yuan Qingmo asked.

"There."

Sun Gu nodded towards the Lu Family's direction, saying, "That family."

Following Sun Gu's gaze, Yuan Qingmo looked back, his expression unchanged, and said calmly, "I wonder what grave crime they have committed that prompts such a massive effort from you two?"

"Why?"

Sun Gu's eyes gleamed with more mirth, asking, "Is His Highness Prince Wei planning to shield them?"

Facing the two's gaze, Yuan Qingmo did not back down, speaking slowly, "This is my friend's home; I'll have to ask the reason clearly."

"Friend?"

Yuwen Dong raised an eyebrow slightly, shaking his head, "His Highness Prince Wei, it would be best to retract that statement; we could pretend we never heard it."

Sun Gu laughed, "His Highness Prince Wei, in this Mist Rain Village, whoever you want to cover is up to you. But this family, you can't protect!"

"Oh?"

Yuan Qingmo squinted slightly.

The previously eased atmosphere once again tensed up!

Shi Hongzhang and Dugu Di, who were about to leave with their men, couldn't help but stop, ready for some entertainment.

After all, Yuan Qingmo had just embarrassed them.

They also wanted to see this His Highness Prince Wei clash with the two nobles from the Capital City, and it would be good if they fought.

Yuwen Dong retrieved a dark green token from his bosom and held it in his hand, speaking solemnly: "In obedience to the Grand Commandant's order, to arrest remnants of the previous dynasty, His Highness Prince Wei, you ought to stand back."

Seeing the token in front of him, Yuan Qingmo was both surprised and alarmed.

The Grand Commandant's Order!

Yuwen Dong's words startled him further.

Remnants of the previous dynasty?

Everyone present was stunned!

Chen Tang was taken aback.

He instinctively turned to look at the Lu Family.

When his gaze landed on the empty left sleeve of Lu Qianshan, his heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of a possibility!

No way.

Chen Tang's heart sank.

The Mountain Guest had entrusted him to find a descendant.

That descendant had four fingers severed from the left hand.

And Lu Qianshan had his left arm severed!

Could it be that to avoid suspicion, he severed his arm because the missing fingers were too conspicuous?

Moreover, Lu Qianshan is about the same age as the descendant described by the Mountain Guest.

Kou Zhenshan of the Dragon Tiger Guard couldn't help but look at Lu Qianshan and Madam Lu, his expression uncertain.

People of the Wu Dynasty?

How could it be?

Why do I have no impression of these two?

Kou Zhenshan thought again.

Both were so young; by the time they were born, the Wu Dynasty had already fallen.

Calculating thus, it's likely their parents were the people of Wu Dynasty.

But then, who were their parents?

Even to arrest him, only the White Tiger Bureau was deployed. Whose descendants could warrant the deployment of both Capital City's Yuwen Family and the Profound Celestial Sect, even carrying the Grand Commandant's Order?

This means they were acting on the Grand Commandant's order!

What person from the Wu Dynasty could warrant a direct order from the Grand Commandant?
