At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"This...if we can't bring the person back on time...Prince Cheng may come here in person."

Wang Chaozhong responded tremblingly.

He carefully considered his tone with every word, fearing that he might anger Xia Yun.

"interesting."

"Then let that old man come and pick them up in person."

Xia Yun smiled faintly.

He and Prince Cheng didn't have much in common.

The only two times were when the Fenglai Inn incident occurred, when Prince Cheng and the commander-in-chief of the Shenjiying appeared at the last moment.

But at that time, Prince Cheng didn't say much and looked like Xu Miao's younger brother.

The second time was when he entered Beijing that day, and Prince Cheng spoke for the Jiangnan Party officials in the court.

There is no doubt that these two encounters did not leave a very good impression on Xia Yun.

"This……"

Wang Chaozhong didn't know what to do for a moment.

Things have obviously gotten out of hand.

The onlookers on the side were even more curious, and no one planned to leave at this time.

One is a favorite of Your Majesty, the renowned Governor-General of Jiangnan, and the other is a prince of the imperial court who holds real power.

Almost everyone wants to see what kind of sparks will be created when these two people come into conflict.

"I am Xiao Yuanhai, the heir apparent of Prince Cheng's mansion!"

"How dare you hurt me like this! My father will never let you go!"

The man surnamed Xiao, who was forced to the ground, finally revealed his name and origin, with an expression of extreme pain on his face.

How could he, who had been spoiled since childhood, have endured such humiliation?

The severe pain from the broken leg bone was like a piercing pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"If you keep on whining, I'll cut off your tongue."

Chong Heihu stepped on Xiao Yuanhai's head again, knocking him to the ground.

At the same time, the long sword in Chong Heihu's hand was already close to Xiao Yuanhai's mouth.

If this guy is still stubborn and continues to make noise, he doesn't mind giving him an unforgettable memory.

"Let's evacuate everyone here first."

Xia Yun looked around. The auction hall was very crowded at the moment. If everyone continued to stay here, accidents were bound to happen.

"Pass on the master's order. Evacuate the crowd in the auction hall immediately."

After receiving the order, Qin Shun immediately directed his men to evacuate the scene.

The manager of the auction house quickly delivered the sold items to every successful bidder.

The crowd of onlookers who originally wanted to stay in the auction hall to watch the excitement had to leave under the name of Governor Xia Yunjiangnan.

In a short while, the auction hall was evacuated.

Only Xia Yun and the people from Fenglai Pavilion were left at the scene.

Of course, among them is Xiao Yuanhai, who was trampled under the feet of Chong Heihu.

"Sir, the guests and soldiers have not left yet. They are all gathered downstairs."

At this time, Qin Shun saw the situation outside Fenglai Pavilion through the window.

Although evacuation had been carried out, the guests still had no intention of leaving.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the melon is not something you can always encounter.

"Don't worry about them."

Xia Yun spoke calmly.

"Where is the woman who came with this guy?"

Xia Yun asked again.

"To answer your question, sir, the woman is also downstairs now."

Qin Shun responded quickly.

"Send someone to keep an eye on her. If she tries to leave, send someone to control her immediately."

A hint of coldness quietly emerged in the depths of Xia Yun's pupils.

There is no way a barbarian woman would appear in the capital for no reason, especially when such a war is about to break out!

To him, Xiao Yuanhai's life was of no importance.

As long as he wanted, he could let Chong Heihu chop off Xiao Yuanhai's head at any time.

And the reason why he saved this man's life.

There is only one purpose.

That is to blackmail Prince Cheng!

He is not a generous person.

Prince Cheng challenged him in the court, which meant he was already standing against him.

Then naturally, you have to pay the price!

……

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Inside Prince Cheng’s palace.

Prince Cheng, who had been waiting in the lobby for Xiao Yuanhai's return, looked increasingly gloomy.

"How are the people down there doing their job? Why haven't they brought the person back yet?"

A cold voice came out of Prince Cheng's mouth.

"Your Highness, the person has been gone for an hour and has not returned yet. Could there be some accident?"

The butler standing nearby responded immediately, with a look of worry on his face.

"This is the capital, what kind of accidents could happen? Most likely that bastard doesn't want to come back."

Prince Cheng shook his head helplessly.

He didn't have much to do with his son.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to urge the young master to come back quickly?"

The butler suggested.

However, just as Prince Cheng nodded and was about to send more people according to the butler's suggestion.

Suddenly, a servant with an anxious look on his face appeared hurriedly in the lobby of the palace.

"My Lord, this is bad, something terrible has happened!"

The servant fell to his knees with a thud, shouting that something terrible was happening.

"what happened?"

Prince Cheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that some other big event had happened in the capital.

Unexpectedly, the next words that came out of the servant's mouth shocked him on the spot.

"Your Highness, the young master offended the Jiangnan Governor General Xia Yun in Fenglai Pavilion and has been detained by Xia Yun. It is said that Xia Yun even broke his legs!"

The servant then told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng's face showed a hint of shock, and he immediately became extremely furious.

"What a jerk Xia Yun is! He just arrived in the capital not long ago, and yet he dared to hurt my son!"

Prince Cheng slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table instantly fell to the ground.

"Pass on my order, gather the troops immediately and follow me to Fenglai Inn!"

In a rage, Prince Cheng immediately stood up from the armchair and strode out of the hall!

……

After a while, Prince Cheng, leading his two thousand soldiers, finally arrived at Fenglai Inn.

When he arrived, he noticed that a large number of onlookers had gathered around Fenglai Inn.

Among them were even many high-ranking officials of the imperial court, as well as princes and nobles.

Obviously these people gathered here to watch the fun.

This made him, as a prince of the court, even more furious.

"Where is Xia Yun! Let him come out to see me!"

When two thousand troops surrounded Fenglai Inn, Prince Cheng, who appeared at the front of the crowd, immediately shouted loudly towards the door of the inn.

Prince Cheng was seen wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and holding a long sword in his hand.

The personal guards behind him lined up in a row, as if they were ready to fight on the battlefield.
