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

When Xia Mingyuan said this, Sun Yaozu's face became particularly interesting.

"Sir, can you finish all the dishes you ordered?"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, but still asked cautiously.

"boom!"

Xia Mingyuan tapped the table lightly and turned to look at the waiter.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Didn't you hear that it was the County Master who invited us?"

"How can I lose face if the County Master invites me to dinner? If I don't buy your Four Seasons Building, it would be too low-key."

"Am I right, Master Sun?"

After Xia Mingyuan finished speaking, he raised his head and gave Sun Yaozu a harmless smile.

The corners of Sun Yaozu's mouth twitched, and he almost cursed in his heart.

It was obvious that Xia Mingyuan was here to take advantage of the rich, and he was trying to cheat him without any concealment!

Although a meal was nothing, Sun Yaozu still felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

However, he suppressed his anger and waved to the waiter.

"Didn't you understand what Commander Xia said? If you were told to go, go now!"

When the waiter heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent anymore and quickly retreated.

Soon, dishes from Four Seasons Restaurant were served one after another.

Sun Yaozu chuckled, pondered for a while, and finally spoke.

"Commander Xia, I invited you here today because..."

"Master Sun, my two brothers are also hungry. Look at this huge table of food. It would be a waste if we can't finish it."

"In my opinion, it's better for everyone to come together."

Xia Mingyuan was eating and still interrupted Sun Yaozu at an inappropriate time.

Sun Yaozu's expression suddenly froze and turned ashen.

"Commander Xia is truly a kind and benevolent man. I never thought that in this princess's mansion, even the servants would be required to sit at the table when the master eats."

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess would mind this matter?"

Sun Yaozu suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile.

"What servant?"

Xia Mingyuan put down his chopsticks with an unhappy look on his face.

"Everyone in Hanyang knows that these two are my brothers and dearest friends!"

"Master Sun, do you think they are not worthy of me? Then I will take my men and leave."

After Xia Mingyuan finished speaking, he actually dropped his chopsticks, stood up and was about to leave.

"you…"

Sun Yaozu's mouth twitched and he almost vomited blood in anger.

But he quickly suppressed his anger and said, "Commander Xia, please stay."

"I have no such intention. Since these two warriors are your brothers, Commander Xia, they should naturally sit together."

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan, who was facing Sun Yaozu, raised the corner of his mouth.

Today Sun Yaozu asked him for something, and he wanted to achieve this effect.

As for the obedience test, as long as he sets a precedent, he can easily take the lead throughout the dinner.

Xia Mingyuan took Wang Gangyi and Wang Ganger and sat down again.

Sun Yaozu reorganized his words, "This is what I mean, Commander Xia. I'm inviting you to meet today because I want to join forces with you to fight against a common enemy!"

"Common enemy?"

Xia Mingyuan was slightly startled, then grinned and pretended to be dumb: "Master Sun, do you mean to join me in suppressing the bandits?"

Sun Yaozu's face darkened, and he took a deep breath and said, "Suppressing the bandits is a trivial matter. Commander Xia can easily take it down alone. Why would he need me to take action?"

"Besides the banditry in Hanyang City, Master Xia and I now have a common enemy!"

"Ok?"

"who is it?"

Xia Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know.

"The imperial envoy you captured that day, Geng Ruhuai." Sun Yaozu gritted his teeth and suddenly felt powerless as if he was punching cotton.

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan was shocked and stood up suddenly.

"Master Sun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

"I, Xia Mingyuan, am just a guard at the Princess's residence. How could I be an enemy of the Imperial Envoy?"

"You said earlier that what happened in Cuiwei Tower was just a misunderstanding."

"Oh, Mr. Xia!"

Sun Yaozu slapped his thigh anxiously, "I was also blinded by this guy at the time. I didn't expect him to be so bold."

"He, he actually wanted to murder the princess!"

Hearing this, Xia Mingyuan laughed instead.

He sat down and looked at Sun Yaozu calmly.

"Master Sun, please don't joke with me. I, Xia Mingyuan, can't stand such stimulation."

"Why would he, an imperial envoy, choose to make things difficult for the princess?"

"Could it be that the old man hanged himself because he thought his life was too long?"

Sun Yaozu was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Commander Xia, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the imperial edict from his arms and threw it to Xia Mingyuan.

"This was given to me by Geng Ruhuai. I suspect he forged the imperial edict, intending to stir up conflict between Your Majesty and the Grandmaster, and seize the opportunity to rebel."

Geng Ruhuai said this, his eyes fixed on Xia Mingyuan.

Xia Mingyuan, however, remained calm as he handed the imperial edict back. He raised his head and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Master Sun is right."

"This, this imperial edict must be fake!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is the sister of the current emperor, born of the same mother. Your Majesty is kind-hearted, how could he do such a fratricidal thing?"

"That's right!" Sun Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief. "Commander Xia, you really understand what's going on. Geng Ruhuai, that despicable villain, wants to use me to get rid of the princess."

"My heart is as clear as a mirror, how could I be deceived by his conspiracy?"

"The most urgent task now is to kill Geng Ruhuai quickly to prevent him from becoming desperate and harming the princess."

"What do you think, Commander Xia?"

"Well..."

Xia Mingyuan gently stroked his chin, pretending to be in deep thought.

Geng Ruhuai was slightly startled. "Commander Xia, what are you still considering?"

"This concerns the safety of the eldest princess..."

"If Geng Ruhuai really takes advantage of this, your role as the head of the Princess's Palace guards will be over."

Xia Mingyuan smiled and said calmly, "Lord Sun, please don't try to scare me."

"Even if Geng Ruhuai has a conspiracy, he's the only one in the entire city of Hanyang, so he can't cause any trouble."

"He's an imperial envoy. If I kill him, I'll be the one to take the blame."

"This……"

Sun Yaozu had made all kinds of calculations, but he never expected that Xia Mingyuan's plan was so grand.

Before he could continue to persuade her, Xia Mingyuan continued, "Without Lord Sun to help him, no matter how many evil intentions Geng Ru harbors, it will be of no use."

"In the past few days, our Princess Mansion needs to be more prepared."

"Anyway, he can't stay in Hanyang forever. He will have to return to Beijing to report on his work."

"I'm sorry to bother you with this matter, Lord Sun."

As Xia Mingyuan spoke, he turned around and looked at Wang Ganger, who had already picked up the plate and was pouring peanuts into his mouth. The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly and he patted his head.

"Hey, second brother, can you be a little more polite?"

"This is a fucking party, and everyone here is rich and powerful."

"If this useless behavior gets out, people will laugh at me, Xia Mingyuan, for not giving you any food to eat."
