The Empress’ Livestream

Koujiao Chifan: “F*** whichever a**hole sneakily attacked our host! Doesn’t he know the consequences of pissing off our host? He will be torn apart alive!”

Tangchao Lizi: “What just happened?”

It happened so fast that many viewers didn’t see Jiang Pengji block the attack and at the same time, fight back. All the viewers were stunned by the incident. They wished that, in that scenario, the streaming could rewind just few seconds so they could find out exactly what had happened.

Koujiao Chifan: “An asshole attacked our host with an arrow. Thanks to our host being a super cool woman, she made his arrow explode by shooting it while it was still in the air. She paid him back with an arrow to his hat, which was damn cool…”

After everyone was filled in, the streaming room focused their vision on the remains of the arrow, which was shattered into pieces. They also spotted the frightened guy who got his hat shot off his head by the arrow. He was panicking, sitting on the floor because his legs became powerless. He had nearly peed his pants. The viewers all applauded the host.

Great job! There were tons of gifts and rewards sent by the viewers for her actions. Jiang Pengji saw that coming and temporarily shut down the notifications.

The team was not just random people. The owner of that fancy wagon seemed to have a background, as well. His armed guards treated Jiang Pengji and her people as formidable enemies and they surrounded Jiang Pengji and her people, which was a surprise for Jiang Pengji and her troops. Jiang Pengji’s troops weren’t some effeminate guys. They pulled out their knives and confronted the armed guards.

It appeared that there would soon be blood. Cheng Cheng’s face was gloomy and he clasped his hands in front of chest, bowed to the people they were confronting, and spoke. What he said almost made Liu She scared to kneel on the ground. “What is the point of doing this, Prince Changshou?”

What? Prince Changshou? Liu She was completely startled, but he didn’t show it with any expression. He had his usual poker face, but his vision flew to the wagon every now and then.

The passenger couldn’t sit still when his identity was no longer concealed. The curtain of the wagon opened and a thirty-year-old face was exposed in front of them.

“What’s going on?” he inquired of his entourage. It seemed like he was not aware of what had happened.

“There were two Langjuns who were having a competition to see who was a better marksman. They targeted an object a far distance away, but they didn’t expect that some random citizens would be riding on their horses and could block the object. That citizen was so bold that he attacked one of the Langjuns and he even frightened you, my majesty…” The servant had a sharp and strident voice.

Prince Changshou sneered and said to them in a chilling tone, “It is a felony for a citizen to attack gentry clan members, which will sentence him and his entire family to the death penalty.”

Just a simple sentence weakened the life crisis that Jiang Pengji was in the middle of and instead brought her some groundless charges.

In the meantime, a young man accompanying Prince Changshou heard a familiar voice. He turned around to track the voice and there was a pleasure on his face after he found out who had spoken.

He bowed at Prince Changshou and said, “My majesty, the one who was talking earlier is my nephew. Can you allow me to learn more about what happened before you make any decision?”

Prince Changshou wasn’t impressed, considering that he was the one who almost had a heart attack when the arrow pierced his wheel. He had to suppress the dissatisfaction once he took a clear look at who was talking to him, however, and he put a slight smile on his terrified face. “If he is your nephew, he must be an outstandingly talented person. Why don’t we beckon him forward?”

Before Prince Changshou had finished his words, Cheng Jing excused himself to mount his horse. He galloped to Cheng Cheng and ordered the armed guards to put their weapons down.

“Everyone stop!” Cheng Jing was relieved when he saw that Cheng Cheng was unharmed. “Wenfu, It has been a long time.”

Liu She was shocked. The young man was barely in his twenties. Why did he say Cheng Cheng’s literary name straight? It seemed that Cheng Cheng was actually a few years older than him.

“It has been a couple of months since we separated in Langye. I guess it has been a long time. Let me introduce, Youmo,” Cheng Cheng said. “This is the Liu County Chief for Hujun, who also happens to be one of the most amazing people in Dongqing Dynasty. Now, are you excited to see this person you’ve heard so much about?”

Cheng Jing was dazed, as was Liu She.

Jiang Pengji had no clue what to say about what was going on.

“So, what just happened? How did you guys have a conflict with Prince Changshou’s guards?” Cheng Jing asked.

Cheng Cheng’s face turned red when he brought the conversation up. Liu She had a worse look on his face, which concerned Cheng Jing.

“Let me explain… Some guy was handsy and he attempted to shoot my head. I was nice enough that I only paid him back by shooting off his hat, which made him feel embarrassed. So what, now your Langjun wants to condemn me for something I didn’t do wrong, regardless of the truth?” Jiang Pengji approached Cheng Jing. She didn’t have a good impression about Cheng Jing, the same person that Liu She had mentioned.

Cheng Jing was ashamed. Therefore, when he faced Jiang Pengji, who was tough on him, he wasn’t angry. Instead, he asked her a question politely. “Can I ask who I am speaking with now?”

Liu She put on a false smile and responded, “My only son. I wonder, what is the name of the man who had no control over his own hands?”

The dumba**es looked down on them by judging their clothing and decorations on the wagon. They took a chance on them after they had endured a rough trip and tried to make fun of them.

If it was the normal business group, it was very likely that they would quietly take it and not complain about it––but it would be entirely different if they were dealing with Liu She.

He emphasized the word “only.” Cheng Jin came to realization of how serious the incident was.

“You are mistaking me, young Langjun. I’m not the type of person that would dig up the truth.” Cheng Jing had a bitter smile and said to them, “I was busy talking to my friends when this occurred. We were not paying attention to our surroundings. As soon as we realized what happened, this young Langjun had already shamed them…”

Liu She’s son was nearly killed on the official road outside of Shangjing. Cheng Jing was scared to imagine the scene.

“It was his own d*mn fault he couldn’t control his hands. This is not your business. I don’t expect you to say some words for me, but I hope you are not doing that for them, either.” Jiang Pengji wasn’t on her high horse, but she wasn’t going to back off easily.

People got bullied if they were kind to everyone; a horse would be ridden if it didn’t act wild.

The law of the jungle was performed more direct in a society with an obvious hierarchy.

If it had been anyone else except her, there was a big chance that they would have fallen off of their horse and been stepped on. White was a warrior horse of a pure and excellent breed, and it also had abundant training. Plus, Jiang Pengji was calm, which helped them avoid a tragedy.

Cheng Jing nodded and agreed. “Of course.”

Cheng Cheng turned his nose up and said with contempt, “Prince Changshou?”

Cheng Jing reported to Prince Changshou about Liu She and his people’s identities. It was Prince Changshou’s turn to freak out. His bias was towards Liu She and his people. The guys who came along with him had pale faces––especially the two guys who actually shot the arrow. They could barely stand and their lips were completely white.

They had no idea that some plainly dressed citizens were actually some important people.

Your own fault that you couldn’t control your hands!

Your own fault that you couldn’t control your hands!

Your own fault that you couldn’t control your hands!

The two young men who shot the arrows just looked at their hands. They nearly shed a tear, regretting their guts out for what they had done recklessly.

Who was the worst choice to challenge in Dongqing Dynasty? Liu She was definitely on the list of that. He happened to be the General Evaluation Officer that year. Were they still expecting a good score from him based on their performance after they were really close to killing his only son?

To be more serious, Liu She only needed to use his brush pen to make some awful comments about them; their career would end there.

Not to mention, if he didn’t want to make a contribution to their career, it wouldn’t even be possible for them to have a title without an actual position.

Clearly, Liu She was never generous.

When Prince Changshou sent a servant to invite him for a visit, Liu She merely gave him a grin and took off. He didn’t even bother to glance at him.
