Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

"Master Pan, this guy doesn't seem to be from our city defense battalion. At least there's definitely no one like him above the rank of sergeant."

Beside Pan Hongxing, a captain quietly reminded him.

Pan Hongxing was startled when he heard this, then he laughed and said, "If they're not from the city defense battalion, then that's easier to deal with. They must be bandits who have infiltrated the city. We can just catch them and kill them."

As he spoke, Pan Hongxing strode into the tailor shop and saw Chen Asi huddled in the corner like a dead dog. He immediately became so angry that his face turned pale.

"Boy, you are so brave!"

"You even dare to hit my people, Pan Hongxing. I think you are tired of living."

Xia Mingyuan glanced at him coldly and said indifferently: "Pan Hongxing, this Chen Ah Si has connections with the Poison Dragon Gang, but he is a brother to you, the young master of the City Defense Battalion."

"Could it be that your city defense camp is colluding with the Poison Dragon Gang?"

Xia Mingyuan's words were full of wisdom and his voice was filled with coldness.

"Bullshit! Stop spitting bloody words at me," Pan Hongxing said, raising his voice. "But you, armed with a weapon, committing a crime in the street! I think you look like an assassin from Fengyu Tower!"

"Come here, capture him and take him back for severe interrogation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed in and were about to attack Xia Mingyuan.

"I wonder who dares to hurt my leader!"

Wang Gangyi and Wang Ganger looked at each other and immediately protected Xia Mingyuan.

"Commander?" Upon hearing this title, Pan Hongxing burst into laughter.

"You ignorant brat, with only two soldiers, dares to call yourself a commander?"

"Could it be that he is in charge of his own chickens, ducks, and geese?"

As soon as Pan Hongxing finished speaking, the people behind him burst into laughter, each with a look of mockery on their face, unable to hold back their laughter.

Xia Mingyuan looked calm, shook his head disdainfully, and took off his ID badge from his waist.

This waist badge with the insignia of the Imperial Guards was something he had snatched from the rebellious guards around Xia Xue. It was a fifth-rank official in the imperial court, a thousand-household official, and had the same status as Pan Yue.

If we really talk about official positions, he is even two levels higher than the Hanyang County Magistrate, who is a seventh-rank official.

It's just that there is no real power, more of a false name.

Throwing the badge to Pan Hongxing, Xia Mingyuan said calmly, "Pan Hongxing, I am the commander of the guards at the Princess's residence. I'm afraid you are not qualified to arrest me."

"Let your father come to see me, otherwise, you will stay here today and accompany your brother!"

Xia Mingyuan said this, pointing at Chen Asi lying on the ground.

Chen Asi struggled to stand up, covering his bleeding right hand, and looked at Pan Hongxing wailing.

"Master Pan, help me, Master Pan, this guy doesn't take you seriously."

"Shut up!"

Pan Hongxing looked at the badge in his hand, glared at Chen Asi fiercely, and cursed his bad luck in his heart.

I thought I was just dealing with a blind soldier from the city defense camp, but I didn't expect that Chen Asi would have to offend someone from the princess's mansion.

This guy is a ruthless character that even his own father is a little afraid of.

"So it's Commander Xia." Pan Hongxing returned the badge and forced a smile. "Since he's a comrade from the Princess's Mansion, there must be some misunderstanding."

"Our city defense battalion is unwilling to antagonize the Princess's residence. Let's just forget about this matter. I will take my men and leave now."

As he spoke, Pan Hongxing winked at several soldiers. They understood and immediately carried Chen Asi and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Xia Mingyuan's cold voice suddenly came from behind.

At the same time, Wang Ganger rushed forward and stood in front of the door, blocking Pan Hongxing's retreat.

"Pan Hongxing, did this commander let you go?"

Pan Hongxing's expression froze when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and turned to look at Xia Mingyuan.

"Xia Mingyuan, don't go too far. You hit my brother, and I, Pan Hongxing, have already admitted it. Although your Princess Mansion is not easy to provoke, the soldiers in the city defense camp are not vegetarians either!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the city defense camp drew their swords and rushed out.

However, the next moment, Wang Ganger suddenly moved.

With the strength of the second rank, he can easily fight against many people at once even when facing a fifth-level Dragon Warrior.

At present, the soldiers of the city defense camp are not even as good as the third-level Wei Wuzu. In Wang Ganger's hands, they are no different from those low-level thugs before.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers in the front row of the city defense camp were thrown to the ground and had no power to resist.

Xia Mingyuan sneered and slowly walked in front of Pan Hongxing.

"Master Pan, you, my so-called brother, came to the shop that I worked with, Xia Mingyuan, smashed and robbed it, and even set it on fire and took away the tailor who worked for me. Now there is a misunderstanding between you and me?"

"Why didn't you say it was a misunderstanding when you came in earlier?"

"I……"

Pan Hongxing's face flushed, not knowing how to defend himself.

Xia Mingyuan sneered and continued, "If that were all, it would be fine. But for your father's sake, Chen Ah Si has also learned a lesson. We are all officials in the same dynasty, and my Princess Mansion does not want to take things to the extreme."

"But Chen Ah Si actually said that he has a close relationship with the Poison Dragon Gang, yet he became friends with you, a young master from the City Defense Battalion. I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"This commander has been assigned to suppress bandits in Hanyang. For those who collude with the Poison Dragon Gang, I would rather kill the innocent than let them go. The reason I didn't arrest all of you was to give your father some face. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

Pan Hongxing's face froze, and he glared at Chen Asi fiercely, cursing him in his heart as an idiot. He was afraid that he would be badly harmed by this guy this time.

Seeing Xia Mingyuan slowly walking towards him, Pan Hongxing subconsciously took a step back.

"You, what do you want to do?" Pan Hongxing asked weakly.

"Snapped!"

Xia Mingyuan raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.

"If your father doesn't come and give this commander an explanation today, don't even think about walking out of this door!"

Pan Hongxing was terrified and said stubbornly, "Xia Mingyuan, don't go too far. My father is busy with many things and doesn't have time to argue with you!"

"Pa!" Xia Mingyuan slapped him again.

Practicing martial arts in recent days and swinging the sword every day has greatly improved Xia Mingyuan's arm strength.

A slap knocked Pan Hongxing to the ground, half of his face swollen like a pig's head, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Pan Hongxing covered his face and wailed on the ground.

Behind Xia Mingyuan, Chu Xinyue widened her eyes and looked at the scene in shock.

The person in front of him is Pan Hongxing, the evil man in the capital. The son of the county magistrate who bullied him in the past is just a follower in front of him.

Such a person was actually treated by Xia Mingyuan as a gangster like Chen Asi.

Chu Xinyue pinched herself hard, confirming again and again that she was not living in a dream.

Recalling that Xia Mingyuan had previously said that his tailor shop was working for him, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Previously, she had misunderstood that the other party had bad intentions and refused to customize clothes for this Mr. Xia.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinyue raised her head and looked at Xia Mingyuan with a complicated expression.

Could it be that I really misunderstood him before?
