"What an arrogant brat!"
These words were enough to make even the previously calm leaders lose their composure; this was blatant bullying.
The leaders of the various tribes exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with murderous intent as they locked their gazes on Huo Guang in the center of the arena.
If so many of us were wiped out by a mere teenager, wouldn't we become a laughingstock, and we'd have no face to stand in the future?
"The problem lies with the warhorses!"
"The enemy is on higher ground, so our people need to jump to attack them; otherwise, they'll just have to take the hits head-on."
They also noticed the problem with the warhorses. Although there were no warhorses in the southwest region, they had seen the Great Liang cavalry charge before and immediately understood Huo Guang's advantage.
They looked towards Kunshan, who held the highest prestige. If the fighting continued like this, they feared their side would continue to lose.
Kunshan nodded and shouted at Huo Guang, "Boy, since you want a one-on-one fight, then dismount!"
"Hmph, I'm a cavalryman, riding a horse is normal. There are so many of you, and I haven't said anything." Huo Guang was slightly taken aback by the man's Great Liang words, but he ignored him.
He knew in his heart that he was no match for a thousand men, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of his strengths.
"Hmph, then don't blame me!"
A cold glint flashed in Kunshan's eyes as he looked at the group on the field and said in a deep voice, "Sever his horse's legs, otherwise he has the upper hand and you absolutely cannot defeat him in a one-on-one fight!"
"Good!"
Everyone nodded, and several people immediately pounced on it.
They weren't targeting Huo Guang, but rather Huo Guang warhorse, slashing at its limbs with their broadswords, preparing to forcibly dismount Huo Guang.
"How dare you!"
Sensing their intentions, Huo Qubing's expression changed slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately brandished his spear and attacked all those who rushed towards him.
In an instant, he found himself facing five people, his eyes flashing with a fierce light!
court death!
He focused his strength in his dantian, and with a single thrust, he repelled five of the enemy soldiers. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another wave of five soldiers arrived, instantly increasing the pressure on him and erasing his previous ease.
Zhang Fei was furious and roared, "Your Majesty, I'll go help this brat! We can't let him die here!" To let a child be ganged up on on his own turf was an utter disgrace. He drew his spear and was about to charge forward.
Such talent would surely have been a future leader; it's such a pity he died at the hands of these foreign tribes.
Lin Yi didn't speak, but looked outside. He could faintly hear a series of orderly footsteps coming from there, which clearly indicated that the City Defense Battalion that Huo Guang had prepared had arrived.
He laughed and said, "No need, the men Huo Guang summoned have already arrived!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a fully armed City Defense Battalion stormed in, their menacing aura radiating as they headed straight for the Court of Diplomatic Reception.
What happened?
The commotion startled everyone in the courtyard. The group that was beating Huo Guang stopped abruptly and looked at the City Defense Battalion with wary expressions.
This was a regular army from the Great Liang, and the fact that they had come made them afraid to move.
really!
The City Defense Battalion arrived and immediately surrounded the group, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.
Provoking the Great Liang army is a completely different matter from dealing with that boy. It could easily anger Great Liang, which could lead to serious trouble.
Kunshan frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "General, what has happened? Why have you led troops to surround us?"
"Hmph, we received news that a group of people were beating up a minor, so we came to take a look. It turns out it's true! You really have no scruples!" The leading general glared at the other side, gritting his teeth.
The people from the Southwest were completely dumbfounded!
What do you mean we beat up a minor? This guy is clearly a monster, and he's the one who beat us up.
Kunshan frowned and said, "General, this is a misunderstanding. This young man provoked us and injured many of our men. Look at the wounded on the ground around us; they are all our men. We did not beat them up."
"Snort!"
Upon hearing his words, the general's face immediately turned ugly. He angrily said, "Do you think I'm blind? The moment I arrived, I saw seven or eight of you ganging up on this boy, and you're saying he provoked you?"
This boy looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. How can so many of you gang up on a child? Have you no shame?
Forehead!
One sentence left Kunshan speechless. He cursed Lai Jiang's family in his heart, thinking, "What the hell is this underage guy? He beat up more than twenty of us and you didn't come. We just surrounded him and you showed up. This is too much of a coincidence."
And you, what kind of minor are you? You beat up more than twenty of my people, and you're telling me you're a minor? That's utter nonsense.
He gritted his teeth and said, "General, this is absolutely a misunderstanding. This kid barged into the Court of Diplomatic Reception and challenged us to a duel. He took on more than twenty of us. Is he a minor?"
"One-on-one?"
Lai Jiang glanced at him coldly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Since it's a one-on-one fight, how come there are more than ten of you fighting him alone? This is clearly a gang fight, which is a serious crime in Great Liang, and the punishment will be doubled."
Moreover, this is a minor, so your crime is compounded, tripled, and you will be beheaded!
Holy crap!
Kunshan was shocked. This was outrageous! Was he really going to be beheaded?
Why does this feel so eerie?
He looked at Huo Guang and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kid, you're a minor, I don't believe you?"
"Hmph, although I don't want to admit it, I'm only fifteen years old this year!" Huo Guang took out his latest Great Liang identity certificate from his pocket, and the age column clearly showed that he was fifteen years old.
Kunshan felt Great Liang run down his spine. Were all the minors in Daliang this fierce? This was simply outrageous. Wouldn't the adults on his side become a laughing stock?
However, he couldn't confess at this moment. Who could withstand being beheaded? That would be too unjust.
He asked the envoy beside him, who had studied the laws of the Great Liang and knew about their sentencing methods. Upon hearing the question, his heart sank; it was indeed the case in the Great Liang.
Minors are generally protected by law as long as they do not break the law. It is not allowed to beat minors unless the bottom line is crossed.
He forced a smile and said, "General, this was absolutely not a case of us ganging up on them, but rather they were beating us. I only asked someone to help them dismount, it was definitely not a gang attack..."
"Hmph, you think I'd believe that?" Lai Jiang sneered, thinking, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Kunshan turned green with rage.
This is just too much of a coincidence! I only wanted to get him off his horse, how did it turn out like this?
