Chapter 177 Chapter 176 The Indifferent Emperor

Gu Hua was just about to capture Wei Xingba and try to escape with his men when he heard a servant from the General's Mansion running over to report that Prince Li had arrived and specifically asked Wei Xingba to go and greet him.

When Wei Xingba heard the report from his servant, his face turned grim.

He has been entrenched in Shuzhou City for many years and has considerable power. He also used his connections to promote Wang Lian, the man his stepsister married to, to the position of governor of Shu County. It can be said that he is now the real local emperor of the entire Shu County.

It would be fine if it was Prince Li who had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but now the emperor sent Xiao Junlin here to be a fiefdom, and specifically asked him, a general of the second rank, to go out to greet him. Wei Xingba felt that he could not see the reality clearly.

But on the surface, as a general, there was no way he could surpass the prince. Even if he was unwilling, Wei Xingba still walked out to greet him with a gloomy face.

When Wei Xingba passed by Gu Hua, he saw her sitting on a chair without moving or saying anything.

He told the guards, "Guard the door, don't let them escape."

Wei Xingba obviously wanted to get rid of Xiao Junlin first and then deal with them.

Who would have thought that Xiao Junlin ignored Wei Xingba's arrangement for him to go to another reception hall, and directly walked into the hall guarded by guards with his long legs and led his people.

Xiao Junlin was tall and straight, wearing a prince's robe. He walked in with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and saw Gu Hua's face that was already impatient and ready to explode.

Give her a calming look.

Gu Hua frowned and retracted his hand that was about to grab Wei Xingba's throat.

Xiao Junlin also received reports from the secret guards around him and learned that the children were not in the general's mansion guarding the city, so he sent people to look for them again.

"Your Highness, I wonder what brings you here today?" Wei Xingba put on a hypocritical smile, but his words were not polite at all.

Xiao Junlin stood majestically, like a king holding the power of killing. He lifted his robe and sat on the first seat, playing with a jade pendant with dragon pattern in his hand. He had a dignified appearance, a pair of phoenix eyes that shot cold stars, and he glanced at Wei Xingba indifferently.

Ever since he took control of the military power in Shuzhou, no one dared to look at him as if he were an ant. Wei Xingba clenched his fists and almost revealed his brutal nature on the spot.

"Why, General Wei, do you have any opinion about this king?"

"I dare not." Wei Xingba suppressed the ferocious expression on his face and said in a restrained manner.

A sinister look flashed in his lowered eyes as he thought to himself, "How dare you, a prince who came here to establish his fiefdom with only more than 10,000 guards, show off in front of him, a general who has 50,000 troops under his command?"

Wei Xingba lowered his eyes and sneered viciously. Let's see how he will create an accident next and kill this vassal king who looked down on him.

There was no fluctuation on Xiao Junlin's face, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

How could he not see that the arrogant and conceited Wei Xingba in front of him wanted to kill him?

However, after he started to think about everything that did not belong to him, in Xiao Junlin's eyes, Wei Xingba was no different from a dead person.

Governor Wang and seven or eight other Shuzhou officials who were invited here by Xiao Junlin kept their eyes on the nose and their noses on the eyes, and were determined not to get involved in the conversation between the two.

He concentrated on drinking the tea brought to him by the servants and completely ignored Gu Hua and the others beside him.

Gu Hua: “…”

We are such grown-ups, yet we have no sense of existence.

How could Gu Hua and Shen Hongling not understand that these officials have long been familiar with the essence of "minding one's own business"?

I'm afraid that as long as Wei Xing gains the upper hand, even if he kills them in front of them, these people will probably pretend not to see it.

"General Wei must know that she is under my protection." Xiao Junlin raised his eyelids and glanced at Governor Wang and the officials he brought with him. His eyes were cold and indifferent, like a pool of still water.

Pointing at Gu Hua and the others, he said, "I want to take them away. General Wei, do you have any objections?"

Wei Xingba's face was gloomy and his back teeth were grinding. He knew that if he refused now, Gu Hua might reveal the affair between him and his stepsister in front of so many people.

There is a big difference between others knowing something in private and being exposed in person.

As long as this matter is not brought to the surface, those people will not dare to discuss it openly. If it is exposed, Wei Xingba knows that his prestige in the army will be gone.

After some thought, Wei Xingba could only watch unwillingly as Gu Hua and his gang were led out of the city guarding general's mansion by Xiao Junlin.

"Clang."

The Shuzhou officials realized that the situation and atmosphere were not right, and after Xiao Junlin left with Gu Hua and others, they also bowed and said goodbye, following the example of Prefect Wang, who looked obviously unhappy.

Just as I walked out of the door, I heard the sound of a teacup breaking.

Governor Wang glanced back with a gloomy expression, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he turned around and strode out of the gate of the general's mansion with the others.

"Hmph!" He hummed coldly.

In order to secure his position as governor, he had turned a blind eye to certain things. It wasn't that he really didn't know.

But someone threw the evidence directly in his face, forcing Wang Lian to face the green grass above his head. How could he not be angry?

Wang Lian was not unaware of the fact that in order to be promoted to the position of prefect, he killed his original wife, allowed his stepdaughter who was as lewd as his mother to ravage him, and allowed his step-wife and her daughter to drive his son crazy. However, he pretended not to see or hear anything for the sake of his own future.

When Gu Hua followed Xiao Junlin out, he saw a man wearing the uniform of a deputy general of the city defense army walking towards him and bowing slightly to him. He knew that this man next to him looked peaceful, but was actually more cunning than a wolf.

On the surface, it seemed that Wei Xingba, who held military power, and the Shuzhou officials were isolated, excluded, and controlled.

In fact, even Wei Xingba may not know yet that the entire Shuzhou may be under the control of that bastard.

After Gu Hua was brought to the palace by Xiao Junlin, this thought came to his mind. Someone handed him some information, and then there was news about the child.

Moreover, the reason why the assassins who originally wanted to assassinate her and her son kidnapped the child from the general's mansion and ultimately did not kill An An and the others was also revealed.

Judging from the fact that this intelligence network is a hundred times faster than his own, Xiao Junlin cannot be a weak vassal king who can be bullied and manipulated by others.

"Don't worry, that person misunderstood because the children look like me. They are all my descendants."

Xiao Junlin's eyes were deep and cold, and he looked at Gu Hua and said soothingly, "As long as he still wants me to lead people to suppress the rebels in various places, then these children are his bargaining chips to hold me hostage.

Not only will nothing happen, but for the sake of his throne, Xiao Junmo will also provide his children with good food and drink.

I'm afraid he's more afraid than we are of something happening to the kids. Otherwise, I'm not sure I won't rebel like the others."

Gu Hua held the information Xiao Junlin handed to him in his hand, looking like he wanted to bite someone.

The Dog Emperor did nothing. When there were floods and droughts, he had money to please beauties, seek immortals and learn the secret of longevity, but he had no money to provide disaster relief.

Now it was discovered that the entire Daxuan was in chaos because of him. A large number of troops gathered from all over the place and began to gather towards the capital under the name of attacking the tyrant.

Emperor Xuan felt the dragon shadow under his buttocks was shaky and began to get scared.
