Bai Zhan felt cold sweat on his back.

Li Changgong is too suspicious now and doesn't trust anyone.

What he worried most was that the power he had gained through an armed coup would be taken away by others in the same way.

Bai Zhan's words made Li Changgong think that he was challenging his authority.

"No, Commander, I absolutely did not mean that!"

Li Changgong stood up, supporting his waist with one hand and placing the other hand on the back of the sofa.

"Don't say Xiao Lie doesn't have the guts to betray me. Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to stand up to me!"

"This is the Northwest Region, and I, Li Changgong, am the King of the Northwest Region! Everyone must obey my orders, and no one is allowed to disobey me! Do you understand?!"

His voice became louder and louder, and his gloomy eyes gave Bai Zhan a feeling of madness.

Bai Zhan's throat tightened, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Commander!"

Bai Zhan left the office worriedly. Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Xiao Lie... I hope I'm just overthinking it! That guy can't possibly cause trouble. Otherwise, he'd be courting death!"

……

The next day, Xiao Lie began to visit his former close friends one by one to say goodbye to them.

Xiao Lie's home was very busy. His wife directed some soldiers to load the household items and move them onto the truck.

Xiao Lie personally went to Li Changgong's office to say his final goodbyes to him.

Although Li Changgong didn't think Xiao Lie had the courage to rebel, he still warned him.

When Xiao Lie heard these words, his heart was in his throat. Without any hesitation, he knelt down in front of Li Changgong with a "thump", holding the ground with his hands and resting his head on the floor.

"Commander, I'm just an ordinary junior officer. If it weren't for your promotion, I wouldn't be able to hold the position I have today."

"For you, I have only one emotion in my heart, and that is gratitude!"

"My loyalty to you is more unbreakable than the walls of Chang'an!"

Li Changgong lowered his head and saw Xiao Lie crawling in front of him like a dog, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

"Okay, I never doubted you. I just want to remind you to be more low-key in the future."

"Work hard in Ebony Town. If you perform well in the future, I will consider transferring you back to headquarters."

Xiao Lie looked grateful and said loudly, "Thank you, Commander!"

Seeing that Li Changgong did not doubt him, Xiao Lie turned and left, his hair already dripping with sweat.

He quickly walked out of the building, and his adjutant came to take him to the military vehicle.

Xiao Lie sat in the back seat and looked up at the command center building that Li Changgong had built for him.

After the invasion of the Wuluan Empire, Li Changgong rebuilt this building for his own safety, and its defense level is higher than before.

Li Changgong moved his own room here as he was very afraid of being assassinated.

“No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be broken from within.”

After Xiao Lie left, Mediterranean's car drove over from the other direction.

His stretched luxury car was all black, and it was hard to see what was inside.

After getting out of the car, he glanced at Xiao Lie who was walking away, then hurried up the stairs and walked towards Li Changgong's office.

After being informed and getting Li Changgong's permission to meet, he hurried to Li Changgong's office.

"Commander, Commander!"

"I want to report Xiao Lie!"

As soon as Mediterranean entered the door, he shouted with gritted teeth.

Li Changgong's heart moved and he looked up at him.

"What did you say?"

Mediterranean swallowed and stood straight in front of Li Changgong.

"I want to report Xiao Lie. He's been disrespectful to you, Commander, in private! He's accused you of being a poor judge of character, exiling such an outstanding individual to the remote borderlands!"

"I absolutely cannot tolerate his bad behavior!"

Li Changgong had a sneer on his face.
