Chapter 1419: Chapter 1421: Roadblock Tiger_1

"Sangta, we have guests, why didn’t you inform your brother?" The man’s voice was exceptionally loud, carrying from afar, yet it was not the shout of someone straining, but rather as if having such a booming voice was quite simple for him.

Inner strength was profound—these four characters surfaced in Bai Ruozhu’s mind.

Sangta’s expression turned somewhat unsightly as he suppressed his anger and said, "My guests, when did you take an interest, elder brother?"

So it turned out that this man was also a Prince of the Barbarian Clan, a Prince with a Beast Team, and Sangta’s elder brother. Bai Ruozhu realized from this display that royal sibling rivalry for succession rights was not uncommon, and this man must certainly be Sangta’s archenemy.

As they spoke, the man approached with a mischievous smile, "Sangta, aren’t you going to explain?"

"Elder brother, these are my new acquaintances, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Shu. Mr. Bai, this is Prince Sangdian, my elder brother," Sangta reluctantly made the introductions, his tone less than amicable.

Sangdian didn’t seem offended and still wore a smile, "You’re sending someone to the Danliang border, right? I happen to be free, so I’ll join you on this journey; I would also like to hear Mr. Bai talk about the customs of Danliang to broaden my horizons."

"There’s no need, elder brother is busy, why waste time on me? Besides, my friend is not fond of conversation. It isn’t very friendly of you to force someone to talk to you," Sangta’s previous politeness and forbearance were all in order not to have Sangdian follow them to avoid any conflict, but hearing that Sangdian intended to come along, he was no longer disposed to be as courteous.

"That attitude is not good; besides, I am sending Mr. Bai, so it should be Mr. Bai’s decision that matters," Sangdian said, turning his gaze to Jiang Yichun.

Jiang Yichun gave him an indifferent glance and said, "Not familiar, no trouble needed."

Sangdian’s face immediately darkened as Chen Feng hurriedly interceded, "Please forgive my master’s temperament, Prince Sangdian. My lord is reserved by nature and speaks like this; you should not take it to heart."

One would think Jiang Yichun was reserved but could exchange a few polite words; however, Jiang Yichun had not fully recovered and did not care about anything.

Sangdian was suddenly at a loss for words and snorted coldly, "Mr. Bai surely sets himself high, or is it that your eyes only have Sangta and no place for me, the Crown Prince?"

"Haven’t heard of it," Jiang Yichun responded coldly, and Bai Ruozhu nearly laughed out loud by the side. She also hadn’t heard of Prince Sangdian at all; if he hadn’t suddenly appeared today, she wouldn’t have known Sangta had an elder brother.

"You...," Sangdian revealed a vicious look in his eyes, evidently holding a grudge against Jiang Yichun.

Seeing this, Sangta rode his white tiger to block Sangdian and said, "Elder brother should return first. If our two Beast Teams travel together to the Danliang border, others might think the Barbarian Tribe intends to attack Danliang, which could lead to misunderstandings."

"Don’t think I don’t know that woman is the one foretold by the prophecy, the one you’ve found. Are you hiding her to claim the credit before the Emperor yourself?" Sangdian’s face suddenly twisted with previous composure gone, his expression becoming savage, "You should be clear, it is my mother who is the Empress, and you are merely born of a lowly woman. Do you really think you can compete with me?"

Hatred flashed in Sangta’s eyes as his white tiger sensed its master’s emotions and let out a furious roar at Sangdian. Sangta leaped towards Sangdian to attack.

"You have no right to speak ill of my mother. So what if your mother is the Empress? You’re still a failure. The Emperor respects capable successors, not petty, obstinate, narrow-minded people like you!" Sangta shouted angrily as he struck at Sangdian.

Sangdian was clearly no match for Sangta, and had to call over two subordinates to assist him. Only with their help did he manage not to be knocked off his beast’s back, but he was still in a sorry state.

"I have brought the Empress Dowager’s decree to bring the prophesied woman into the palace; Sangta, do you dare to defy the decree?" Sangdian took out the Empress’s decree.

Sangta paused in his movements; he hadn’t expected the news to reach the other side so quickly, indicating there must be a spy among his subordinates.

Bai Ruozhu had no intention of going to the Barbarian Tribe Palace; they had already been delayed too long on the road. The Emperor was waiting for their return to report back, Princess Diao Bin was awaiting rescue, and even Fen Wan’s condition couldn’t afford more delays en route.

She wasn’t planning to interject, thinking it was just a domestic affair of the Barbarian Royal Family, but now that it had involved her, she couldn’t keep silent any longer.

"Prince Sangdian, please convey my thanks to the Empress for her kind invitation. I urgently need to return to Danliang Country due to a family emergency. I will visit the Barbarian Tribe Palace another time," she said, giving Sangdian a Western Regions’ salute, but there was little warmth in her eyes.

If the other party had truly been sincere in inviting her, they could have said so outright when they first met. However, Sangdian had just spoken of escorting them to the border before producing the decree to force them to comply. Clearly, he did not regard them as honored guests but rather as captives to be seized.

"This is the territory of the Barbarian Clan, Madam Bai is surely aware of that?" Sangdian’s voice held a hint of laughter, but everyone could hear that his words were a threat!

Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly, "Since you claim I am the noble person from the Barbarian prophecy, is this how you treat your distinguished guests? I detest being threatened by others the most. We are definitely leaving today; Prince Sangdian, do you really intend to detain us?"

"This would be defying the decree. I would advise Madam Bai not to be ignorant of how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!" Sangdian narrowed his eyes.

Bai Ruozhu was seething with rage when Xiaohei lunged at Sangdian but got slapped aside by Sangta’s tiger.

"Ha ha, what kind of beasts can people from Zhongyuan keep? It truly is a shame that the descendants of my aunt’s black panther ended up in your hands," Sangdian laughed triumphantly.

Bai Ruozhu hastily called Xiaohei back; she hadn’t properly trained Xiaohei, so it wasn’t its fault for not being able to defeat the opponent’s tiger.

A black figure rushed from her side—Jiang Yichun, driven by rage, attacked Sangdian. His inner strength was formidable, and as he fought desperately and fiercely, it wasn’t long before a crisp snap was heard. He had delivered a resounding slap to Sangdian’s face.

"Shut your filthy mouth. If you dare to trouble my wife again, I won’t be as polite as I am now!" He retreated, shouting loudly at Sangdian.

Bai Ruozhu felt a touch of warmth in her heart; he had always stood up for her like this in the past. He usually referred to her as "my lady," but today he had used the word "wife." It seemed he still hadn’t remembered their past together.

"You... bastard, how dare you strike this prince! You will not leave the Western Regions, everyone, take them down, grab all these spies!" Sangdian’s eyes reddened, and he pointed at Jiang Yichun as he bellowed his command.

All of Sangdian’s subordinates moved into action. Sangta and his men stood in front of Bai Ruozhu and her group, glaring at Sangdian and saying, "Big brother, must you offend the noble person mentioned in the prophecy? Do you know what happened to Lady Diao Mo of the Western Regions Holy Hall when she disrespected her? She was burned to death by Heavenly Fire outside the Main Gate of the Holy Hall, and the great elder, after several attempts on her life, met a miserable end. Do you really want to try it for yourself?"
