Seeing Xia Mingyuan, Sun Wenju suddenly struggled to get up from the ground.

"Xia Mingyuan, how dare you treat me like this!"

"When I go back and tell my father, I'll make sure you're in trouble!"

Before Sun Wenjuan finished speaking, he saw Zhao Hongying looking at him with a gloomy face and unfriendly eyes.

Sun Wenju suddenly felt like a frost-bitten eggplant. He quickly lowered his head, huddled in a corner, and dared not speak again.

Xia Mingyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, how did this happen? How did you end up in such a miserable state?"

"How dare you ask me!" Sun Wenju, who had just suppressed his anger, suddenly became furious again, "Aren't they all around you..."

At this point, Sun Wenju's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, no sound could be heard.

Xia Mingyuan looked back and saw that Zhao Hongying had taken out a dagger from her arms at some point. She was playing with it while staring at Sun Wenju with a half-smile.

Seeing Sun Wenju lowering his head timidly, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Mr. Sun, did you leave your vocal cords at home when you went out this morning?"

"How did you end up like this? Tell me."

Sun Wenju swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Hongying.

"No, it's nothing. I just fell down accidentally."

Xia Mingyuan grinned and said, "Since it was an accidental fall, you can't blame me!"

"When you get back, don't talk nonsense in front of County Magistrate Sun."

Sun Wenju gritted his teeth, rubbed his swollen cheeks, and said with a grin, "Xia Mingyuan, you promised my father yesterday that you would send me to supervise the army!"

"Why did you arrest me at noon today?"

"You took the food and wages my father gave you, but you turned your back on me. When I get back, I'll tell my father about this. From today on, don't even think about getting a single grain of food from us!"

Xia Mingyuan's face suddenly turned stern when he heard this.

"Master Sun, please stop slandering me! When have I ever told you not to lead the army? My troops are all at the foot of Wild Wolf Mountain, preparing to fight against Frost Blade Village!"

"If you want to command the army, go ahead. I've already made contact with the generals in charge, and they will naturally cooperate with you."

"Bullshit!" As soon as Xia Mingyuan finished speaking, Sun Wenju could no longer suppress his inner anger. "Xia Mingyuan, you mobilized the troops this morning, and I came here to ask about it. Didn't you have me locked up here?"

Xia Mingyuan spread his hands towards Sun Wenju with an innocent look on his face, "Mr. Sun, are you out of your mind?"

"I promised you that I would supervise the troops to suppress bandits. Do you want to supervise the troops to the princess's residence and oversee the royal guards? Are you, the Sun family, planning a rebellion?"

"you……"

Sun Wenju's face froze and he opened his mouth, about to refute.

At this moment, Xia Mingyuan continued, "The princess's residence encountered an assassin again today. I mobilized the princess's residence guards to arrest the thief. In order to prevent the thief from escaping, I specially mobilized Kunlun Security to take action together."

"Master Sun, no matter what the matter is, I'm afraid it's not your responsibility, right?"

"Could it be that this time, the assassin is related to your Sun family again?"

Sun Wenju shuddered violently, and looking at Xia Mingyuan's half-smile, his face suddenly froze.

"Xia Mingyuan, I'm warning you, stop talking nonsense here. This matter has nothing to do with my Sun family."

Xia Mingyuan spread his hands and said calmly, "Since you also said it had nothing to do with you, and you stopped the pursuing assassin at that time, I arrested you and brought you here to temporarily detain you to prevent you from interfering with official duties. Is this reasonable?"

"this…"

Sun Wenju was stunned, feeling that he had fallen into Xia Mingyuan's trap again.

But if he continued to refute it now, it would only prove that he was involved in the assassination again!

Thinking of this, Sun Wenju broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead and felt a chill down his spine.

"Humph, stop talking nonsense!"

"I'm going to supervise the army, and I'm going now!"

"If you stop me, it means you have something to hide."

Recalling his father's instructions before leaving home today, Sun Wenju snorted coldly and forced himself to swallow this loss.

"Mr. Sun, if you want to supervise the army, of course you can."

"The army is currently near Xujiazhuang at the foot of Wild Wolf Mountain. Do you need me to send someone to escort them?"

Xia Mingyuan's face returned to a forced smile, and his eyes swept over Sun Wenju.

Sun Wenju couldn't help but shiver violently again.

Even if he had a hundred more courage, he would not dare to let Xia Mingyuan's men escort him to supervise the army!

"Xia Mingyuan, there's no need for you to worry. I'll have someone to escort me there. Can you let me go now?"

Sun Wenju twisted his body and shook the rope tied around him.

"Of course there's no problem. As long as your family's food is delivered, you are free to go wherever you want, Mr. Sun."

Xia Mingyuan said this and turned to look at Wei Saner.

Wei San'er quickly stepped forward and reported, "Sir, County Magistrate Sun sent someone over early this morning with seven days' worth of food and fodder for two thousand soldiers, saying they would replenish it later."

Xia Mingyuan nodded slightly, then deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Then what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and untie Young Master Sun?"

Wei Saner did not dare to delay and quickly ran forward to untie the rope for Sun Wenju.

Sun Wenju grimaced in pain, moved his numb hands and feet, and glared at Xia Mingyuan angrily.

"Xia Mingyuan, you wait for me!"

"I'm going to your barracks right now to check. If you mobilize troops without my knowledge today, I will report this to my father!"

After saying this, Sun Wenju didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly left the princess's mansion.

Xia Mingyuan looked at Sun Wenju's departing back and said calmly, "Notify Li Mingyi and have him send a few people out disguised as assassins to give our Young Master Sun some trouble on the way."

"Remember to show mercy. Don't kill me, the God of Wealth. I still need his father's food and fodder to support our army this month."

"Yes, son."

Wei Saner chuckled, not daring to delay, and hurriedly trotted to Kunlun Security.

Coming out of the backyard, Xia Mingyuan went straight to Xia Xue's room and knocked on the door.

After a long while, Lanxiang finally poked her head out of the house and glanced at Xia Mingyuan with a complicated expression, "Master Xia, after the prince came back, she covered her head and went to sleep, and told the servants not to disturb her. She hasn't woken up yet, you see..."

Xia Mingyuan couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard this.

There was no need to think too much, Xia Xue must still be angry with him because of the Xu Family Village incident.

"No need, let aunt continue to sleep."

"When she wakes up tomorrow, Lanxiang, remember to report to me in time."

Xia Mingyuan waved his hand to stop Lanxiang, then turned and went back to the bedroom.
