Le'an Prefecture, the living room of the Han Dynasty Palace.
A guard hurried into the hall, covering his chest with his hands, looking back and shouting loudly: "Your Highness, he is here, he is here."
Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically: "Xiao Chen is here? How many people has he brought with him?"
"No one is with me, he's the only one." The guard replied out of breath.
"Send more manpower to keep him out first." Zhu Gaoxu shouted and prepared to make other arrangements.
"Your Highness, the captain in purple didn't mean to rush in. He asked the villain to come in and report?" the guard explained hurriedly.
"Report? Are you sure he asked you to come in and report?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't believe his ears.
Which song is this purple-robed captain singing? Could it be that he is still afraid of the imperial power and his status as a prince?
Thinking of this, a proud smile appeared on Zhu Gaoxu's face.
It seems that I think a little too highly of the captain in purple. He is just a mortal, how dare he not bow his head in front of the imperial power.
Fortunately, I was scared because it turned out that I was the one who scared myself.
"Since he came alone, let him come in." In a blink of an eye, Zhu Gaoxu resumed his arrogant and arrogant attitude and sat next to the newly replaced table under the nave.
He crossed his legs, held this exquisite tea bowl in his hand, and resumed his arrogant prince posture.
No one else said anything about Zhu Gaoxu's instant change.
The moodiness has changed several times in one day, and everyone has become numb.
Under the watchful eyes of dense guards in the yard, Xiao Chen walked into the living room wearing a soap-colored Dongchang school captain's uniform, fast boots, his hands behind his back, his thin body straight and a smile on his face.
Guard Zhang Jian stood next to Zhu Gaoxu, his right hand tightly holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and his whole palm was sweating nervously.
Counselor Mo Li kept his body slightly bowed and stared at Xiao Chen stupidly, as if he felt that Xiao Chen's thin figure was far different from the legendary image of being invincible in the world.
Li Jinhong, the magistrate of Le'an, held a letter from the Minister of Rites in his hand and looked at Xiao Chen blankly.
You Xin stepped forward, but because he was the one who brought the crisis to the Han Palace, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu was already extremely frustrated when he heard about Xiao Chen's bravery before. But today Xiao Chen came and respectfully informed him in advance, which gave him a lot of confidence.
Now looking at Xiao Chen's figure, the fear just now has disappeared, and there is a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"Are you the purple-clad captain of Dongchang?" Zhu Gaoxu said coldly, condescendingly.
"Yeah." Xiao Chen stopped and flashed the purple plum blossom ring on his waist.
Seeing the unique purple plum blossom order in the entire Ming Dynasty, Li Jinhong, the magistrate of Le'an, fell to his knees with a "pop".
"Li Jinhong, the magistrate of Le'an, please see Master Ziyi." Li Jinhong said respectfully, kneeling on the ground.
Although Xiao Chen is not in a superior-subordinate relationship with him in terms of his position, the unicorn purple garment given by the emperor is the only one in the Ming Dynasty, and it is as if the emperor is personally present.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, he should be treated like an emperor to himself.
"Get up. Things here have nothing to do with you, so retreat first." Xiao Chen glanced at the other party and said softly.
"Thank you, Sir." Li Jinhong slowly stood up and handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Chen, "This is a secret letter from Mr. Wang Changlian, the Minister of Rites, to you. Mr. Wang asked me to deliver it to you personally."
"A letter from Mr. Wang?" Xiao Chen was startled, then reached out to take it and put it in his arms.
"Okay, the letter has been delivered, please leave quickly."
Li Jinhong looked troubled: "Master Ziyi, Master Wang asked his subordinates to stay in the Hanwang Mansion to protect the safety of the Hanwang."
"Haha," Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing, "Did Mr. Wang get involved in this matter? It seems that someone asked Mr. Wang for mercy. For the sake of Mr. Wang, it's not too late for you to retreat now, otherwise, you will get into trouble.
Don't say that I didn't remind you."
"This..." Li Jinhong looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Chen, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu, thought for a moment, bowed his body, lowered his head, "I'm leaving."
Seeing Li Jinhong leave the hall, Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "As a captain of the Dongchang School, you will not kneel down when you see this king. Did you come to Le'an just to show off your unicorn purple clothes? It's a pity that you didn't wear it today.
Hahaha..."
"Kneel down, who do you kneel down at? The purpose of my coming to Le'an is to kill people. The purple clothes are stained and difficult to clean." Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Who are you kneeling down? Of course you are kneeling down to worship me." Zhu Gaoxu stood up suddenly, "Even if you are wearing unicorn purple clothes, you should kneel down and worship me when you see me."
"Haha," Xiao Chen smiled calmly, "Among the royal relatives, I don't worship anyone except the emperor. You, the king of Han who was expelled from the capital, also want me to kneel down and worship you? I don't think you have done this in your life.
Opportunity."
With that said, Xiao Chen walked forward slowly.
Seeing Xiao Chen move, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but become nervous.
"Stop, what do you want to do?"
As Xiao Chen walked in, he involuntarily took a few steps back, but his escape was blocked by the table under the central hall.
With a "crash", the guard commander Zhang Jian took out the sword from his waist and stepped in front of Zhu Gaoxu.
"If you come forward, shoot without mercy!"
"Get out of the way." Xiao Chen lowered his head and said softly.
"If you want to hurt His Highness, just step over my body." Zhang Jian shouted and tightly protected Zhu Gaoxu behind him.
I don't know if it was due to nervousness or exertion all over my body. The armor on my body shook violently, making a sound of metal collision.
Xiao Chen slowly raised his head, shook it gently, and suddenly exerted force on his feet.
Before Zhang Jian could react, the knife in his hand had been knocked to the ground. His throat tightened, and Xiao Chen's right hand was stuck in his throat.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and Zhang Jian's cervical vertebrae had been severed by Xiao Chen. Also broken were his trachea and the muscles inside.
Only the outer skin is left, connecting the head and shoulders.
Xiao Chen slowly let go.
Zhang Jian's head tilted to one side, and he fell straight down without any struggle or pain.
"You are such a loyal person, how can I bear not to fulfill your wish? Since you want me to step on your body, if I don't step on it, it will appear that I am very stingy."
After clapping his hands, Xiao Chen stepped on Zhang Jian's chest with his left foot and stepped over his body.
The counselor next to him, Mo Li, was already pale with fright, his whole body was shaking, and he lay limp on the ground like mud, breathing heavily.
Zhu Gaoxun held the table with both hands and pressed his back tightly against the edge of the table. His eyes were wide open and his throat was surging, but he never uttered a word.
