Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Marquis Rong’gong only felt a jolt run through his whole body, and then his entire aura became listless and weak.

He raised his head.

His face was full of disbelief as he looked at the people in front of him.

"You... you actually crippled me!"

With his Dantian destroyed, it was as good as being completely ruined.

"Relax, your suffering has only just begun."

Facing Marquis Rong’gong’s gaze, the envoy just let out a cold laugh.

"I’ll let you understand what kind of price you have to pay for provoking the Liuli Dynasty!"

"???"

What the hell?

Liuli Dynasty? Originally filled with grief and anger, Marquis Rong’gong’s eyes suddenly flashed with confusion upon hearing this.

Could it be that his enemy had run off to the Liuli Dynasty?

Just as Marquis Rong’gong was feeling bewildered,

a few envoys clearly planned to drag away the now-crippled Marquis Rong’gong and give him a proper interrogation.

Only...

"Wait!"

At this moment,

Lei Zheng, seeing that the time was right, leapt over to this side.

The other Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him, upon witnessing this scene, immediately followed one by one, their figures landing on the ground.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the appearance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the envoy frowned slightly but still paused, withdrawing the hand he was about to lay on Marquis Rong’gong.

He turned and cupped his fists to Lei Zheng.

From his aura, it was clear the other party’s cultivation was definitely above Postnatal—this was an Innate Martial Artist.

What’s more, the Embroidered Uniform Guard from the Great Qian Dynasty—this was someone they knew about. Now that they were on someone else’s turf, it was necessary to follow the rules.

"Lord Lei! Lord Lei!"

At this moment,

Marquis Rong’gong also saw Lei Zheng and immediately looked overjoyed.

Obviously, Marquis Rong’gong recognized Lei Zheng and had thought before about getting closer to him, but hadn’t even had the chance to meet him until now.

"Quick! Lord Lei, arrest them, they’re the assassins here to kill me!"

As he spoke,

Marquis Rong’gong pointed directly at the group of envoys.

Shouting at the top of his lungs, hoping Lei Zheng would step in and capture these assassins.

They actually dared cripple him—he definitely had to torture these bastards well afterwards.

Thinking of this, Marquis Rong’gong’s eyes became even more vicious and murderous!

"Assassins?"

But...

Upon hearing this, the envoys were visibly stunned.

Clearly, Marquis Rong’gong’s words caught them off guard.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

One of the envoys stepped forward with a frown, speaking to Marquis Rong’gong.

"We are envoys from the Liuli Dynasty, here in Great Qian to congratulate your Emperor. Why would we be assassins?"

"Impossible, then why did you attack me?"

"Wasn’t it you who attacked first?"

The envoy’s retort

completely shut Marquis Rong’gong up.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the moment didn’t even know what to say.

In the end, all he could do was look toward Lei Zheng at the side.

After all, Marquis Rong’gong knew there were envoys from the Liuli Dynasty visiting their Great Qian Dynasty, but he really didn’t recognize these people.

He had no idea what they even looked like.

"Ahem!"

Clearing his throat,

Lei Zheng still made a point to explain seriously.

"Tonight, the inn where the envoys are staying was attacked by assassins; the envoys chased after the attacker and ended up here."

After he finished,

Lei Zheng looked over at the envoys and introduced Marquis Rong’gong a bit to them.

"There may be some sort of misunderstanding here. This is Marquis Rong’gong of our Great Qian; it’s hard to imagine he would be an assassin."

"Uh!"

Although they didn’t know who this Marquis Rong’gong was,

the name itself made it clear—he was a Marquis.

So, they really just crippled a Marquis of the Great Qian Dynasty?

Damn!

Originally, being ambushed on Great Qian’s territory—even knowing it wasn’t exactly Great Qian’s own fault—there was some resentment in their hearts. They thought of reporting all this to their emperor once they returned to the Liuli Dynasty.

But now...

The envoys themselves were fine, but a Marquis of Great Qian was crippled—in fact, by their own hands.

This was going to be hard to explain!

As the looks on the envoys’ faces got more and more awkward,

Lei Zheng gave a slight smile.

This was exactly the effect he wanted!

The envoys from the Liuli Dynasty wouldn’t be able to blame the Great Qian Dynasty over this, and as for his side, he could quickly settle this whole mess.

Come dawn, everything would be calm and peaceful again.

Yep!

Only the world where Marquis Rong’gong was injured would be born.

Even though everything was arranged in his heart, outwardly, Lei Zheng still kept a serious face as he looked at Marquis Rong’gong.

"So, why exactly was Marquis Rong’gong here?"

To be honest,

Lei Zheng was pretty curious about this as well.

Why wasn’t Marquis Rong’gong hiding safely at his own residence?

Why did he show up here,

and even get caught up in an assassination attempt against the envoys? Still, if not for Marquis Rong’gong’s sudden arrival,

he really wouldn’t have found someone so convenient to take the blame!

Of course,

these were just thoughts in Lei Zheng’s mind.

No way he’d say them out loud.

"I..."

Marquis Rong’gong opened his mouth.

For some reason, he felt especially unlucky today. This grudge, he probably wouldn’t be able to avenge.

These people were envoys from the Liuli Dynasty.

There was no way he could go seek revenge against the Liuli Dynasty.

His status as Marquis Rong’gong was worth something in the Great Qian Dynasty, but in the Liuli Dynasty? People wouldn’t give a damn.

Then,

Marquis Rong’gong explained how he was attacked by assassins at his residence and led all the way here.

At this time,

if he didn’t explain things clearly, he might actually be regarded as the would-be assassin of the envoys.

Marquis Rong’gong definitely didn’t want to carry that kind of black pot for no reason at all.
