"Zhang Yang!"
"Yun'er, you must intervene in this matter! She is too pitiful! How could the Emperor be so heartless as to marry his own daughter to an old man covered in fur!"
"Too pitiful! We must protect Yun'er and absolutely not let her marry the Zhenxi Beast King!"
Luo Yiren and Han Xiyao said with faces full of anger.
Ah!?
Zhang Yang blinked, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out the two girls had heard about Yun'er and their sympathy had overflowed.
This was good.
He had originally thought Di Yun'er had been badmouthing him again.
"Don't worry, since I brought Di Yun'er back, I won't abandon her," Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Han Xiyao and the other girl nodded upon hearing this.
"That's right! We absolutely cannot let Yun'er marry the Zhenxi Beast King, or her life will be ruined!"
Seeing the two girls protecting her so fiercely, Di Yun'er was also deeply moved.
"Thank you, two sisters. I've caused you trouble," Di Yun'er said gratefully.
"It's nothing. From now on, you'll stay in Jiangnan City, and we'll protect you together!" Han Xiyao said.
"Exactly, who cares about any Beast King or not. If they dare to come to Jiangnan City, we'll beat them! If we can't beat them, we'll hand them over to Zhang Yang and let him beat them!" Luo Yiren also said angrily.
Di Yun'er nodded desperately, her eyes turning red.
In the Imperial City, everyone, including her family, had treated her with extreme indifference.
In contrast, in Jiangnan City, Di Yun'er was experiencing unprecedented warmth.
And this warmth was given by people she had only met for a few hours!
This was simply too ironic!
"Thank you."
Di Yun'er bowed her head repeatedly in gratitude.
She really didn't know how to express her gratitude.
At this moment.
The guards of the Huaxia Five Dragons suddenly entered.
"Reporting to the King of Jiangnan, the Sixth Prince has arrived overnight."
Hearing this news, Zhang Yang and the others were surprised.
They had just returned, and the Imperial City had already received the news?
Di Yun'er's face turned pale, and she fearfully grabbed the arms of Han Xiyao and the other girl.
"Xiyao, take Di Yun'er away first."
Zhang Yang immediately asked the three girls to leave.
Then, he asked the guard to summon the Sixth Prince.
Not long after.
The Sixth Prince arrived, with Xiao Zhan by his side.
"Zhang Yang, we heard about your solo trip to Linhai City to eliminate the ten great families. You are truly brave!"
"It's just a shame that Zhu Zhi found out. If you had succeeded in your undercover mission on Central Island, you would have undoubtedly gathered more information."
As soon as he entered, Xiao Zhan praised him.
The Sixth Prince chuckled, as if to say hello, and remained silent.
"You two visit so late at night, you're not just here to praise me, are you?" Zhang Yang asked directly, without any preamble.
"Heh heh." This time, it was Xiao Zhan's turn to laugh. He looked at the Sixth Prince.
"Zhang Yang, I heard you encountered my ninth sister on your way back? And coincidentally saved her?" the Sixth Prince asked.
"Yes, we met. She was being chased by thugs, and I happened to save her," Zhang Yang replied.
Chased by thugs?
Coincidentally saved?
The Sixth Prince immediately gave a wry smile.
Zhang Yang's excuse was truly flawless.
However, the Sixth Prince did not believe Zhang Yang.
Even if he didn't know about the matter between his ninth sister and the Zhenxi Beast King, the people sent by the Zhenxi Beast King to capture his ninth sister would definitely reveal their identities.
Therefore, Zhang Yang would definitely know, but he was just playing dumb.
"Is ninth sister still with you?" the Sixth Prince did not expose him and changed the subject.
"Would you believe me if I said she left?" Zhang Yang grinned.
The Sixth Prince shook his head with a wry smile.
Of course, he wouldn't believe it.
"Actually, I'm here on behalf of my father. Father told me to tell you that if ninth sister is with you, she should return to the Zhenxi Beast King on her own."
"Otherwise, if a conflict arises between you and the Zhenxi Beast King because of ninth sister's matter, it will be difficult for him to resolve. Father does not want to see two of his War Kings turn against each other and fight."
The Sixth Prince said.
Zhang Yang nodded.
However, he did not feel grateful to the Emperor for not blaming him. Instead, he sneered in his heart!
The Emperor was really good at playing the good guy.
By asking him to return Di Yun'er to the Zhenxi Beast King, he not only gained the Zhenxi Beast King's favor but also made Zhang Yang indebted to him.
Then, by sacrificing only Di Yun'er, he maximized his own benefits!
The schemes of such a person were truly profound!
"Ninth Princess is really not with me. She left after arriving in Jiangnan City. You are too late," Zhang Yang shrugged.
Looking at the situation, he was clearly unwilling to hand her over!
"Zhang Yang, setting aside my identity, I personally hope you will hand over ninth sister. After all, the Zhenxi Beast King is very powerful, and the Huaxia Five Dragons may not be his match."
"Otherwise, everything you have worked hard to develop will be destroyed," the Sixth Prince said with a wry smile.
Zhang Yang chuckled.
"Thank you for your concern, Sixth Prince. However, if the Zhenxi Beast King dares to come, I will entertain him properly. You all think he is very strong, but I would like to try."
This!
After Zhang Yang finished speaking.
The Sixth Prince and Xiao Zhan were both stunned.
They couldn't figure out where Zhang Yang's confidence came from to say such a thing!
However, on their way here, they had already guessed that Zhang Yang would do this, so they were not worried.
As for the Emperor, the message he sent had been delivered.
Whether Zhang Yang listened or not was Zhang Yang's business.
"Alright, then we won't interfere," the Sixth Prince shrugged and sat down.
"Xiao Zhan, are you going back, or staying here with me?" the Sixth Prince asked.
"Heh heh, it just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period, so I'll stay in Jiangnan City as a guest. The Lord of Qingcheng Mountain and the others will also be coming later," Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
"Haha, that's great. My second brother is also on his way with people from two maternal uncle's families," the Sixth Prince smiled.
What?
The Lord of Qingcheng Mountain, the Second Prince, and even people from two maternal uncle's families were coming?
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Yang felt a warmth in his heart.
He looked at Xiao Zhan and the Sixth Prince, and had already guessed why they were staying.
They were worried that he might not be a match for the Zhenxi Beast King and intended to stay and help!
"You are helping me so much, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Zhenxi Beast King or the Emperor? Perhaps you should leave," Zhang Yang suggested.
The Sixth Prince shook his head.
"Don't be so formal. You helped us a lot in the Imperial City back then, so it's only right for us to come when you're in trouble."
"Moreover, I feel some guilt about ninth sister's matter. But in the Imperial City, I had little influence and couldn't help her at all. Now that even an outsider like you has stepped forward, I must follow suit no matter what."
Zhang Yang immediately smiled.
This was the Sixth Prince he knew!
"Haha, in that case, I will take you to meet the Zhenxi Beast King! As long as he dares to come, I will ensure he never returns!" Zhang Yang burst into laughter.
It was easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow.
When the Huaxia Five Dragons were in their most difficult time, the Sixth Prince and others stepped forward.
Zhang Yang would naturally regard them as true friends.
Therefore, he later arranged for the Sixth Prince to meet the Ninth Princess.
As for Xiao Zhan and the others who arrived later, Zhang Yang had Huo Zhu go to entertain them.
...
At the same time.
The people sent by the Zhenxi Beast King had also arrived in Jiangnan City!
