"My … My Lord, as the commander of the Realm Army, you can't fight in the Holy City. The Holy City forbids war, that's His Majesty's rule … Please don't make things difficult for me …" Xiao Qiong begged.
The surroundings were deathly silent. The matter was getting out of hand. The stall owner knew he had stirred up trouble. It was one thing to let Li Quan take away the sacred medicine, but now he might lose his life. He prepared to leave secretly and not participate in the battle between the armies.
But Ye Qinghan glanced over and ordered a chiliarch behind him to stop the old man.
"Stand here and don't move. Later, you'll testify for us. Don't worry, no one will dare to take revenge on you," Ye Qinghan said calmly.
The old man was terrified. How could he dare disobey the orders of the Realm Army's commander? He could only stay where he was.
Ye Qinghan quietly watched the show. He was indifferent to this matter, but it wasn't a bad idea to use this matter to suppress a certain prince.
The Ministry of Revenue was the Fourth Prince's people, but the city guards and the Imperial Guard were the Ninth Prince's people. One side made a mistake, and the other side protected them. If this matter was blown out of proportion, both princes would have to bear the consequences.
Soon, the Imperial Guard arrived. A centurion didn't have the right to control Jue Wuxin, but a chiliarch was different. The Imperial Guard was selected from the retired Realm Army. They believed that the Imperial Guard was superior to the Realm Army. A chiliarch of the Imperial Guard was equivalent to a major in the Realm Army, and his cultivation was also at the Paramount God level. After all, this was the Holy City, and it was different from other places.
Jun Yiran was a chiliarch of the Imperial Guard. He controlled a thousand Imperial Guards and had great prestige in the Holy City. Most importantly, he was ruthless. He was only responsible for the Ninth Prince and wasn't willing to give anyone face. At this moment, he led a thousand Imperial Guards to chase away the commoners and passersby, directly surrounding Ye Qinghan's group.
"The Realm Army knowingly broke the law and beat up the son of an official in the Holy City. Do you think you're so great just because you're from the Realm Army? When I was fighting in the Border Army, you were still wetting the bed! " Jun Yiran coldly looked at Jue Wuxin and Ye Qinghan, then turned to look at the miserable Li Quan. With a disdainful snort, he said, "As the son of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I didn't want to meddle in your affairs. But since you've repeatedly made mistakes, I won't give you any face. Arrest them all and bring them back to the prison to await interrogation."
Here!
Da da da!
The 1100 Imperial Army soldiers growled, their spears glinting with cold light as they pressed on toward Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin.
There were more than a thousand Imperial Guardsmen, a large number of city guards, and a Paramount God. No matter how powerful Ye Qinghan and Heartless were, there was no way they could stand up to them. Even if Ye Qinghan were at his peak, he would have to take a detour.
The ten chiliarchs immediately returned to Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin, unsheathing their swords in defense.
Jue Wuxin was silent as he stared at Jun Yiran. His gaze was so penetrating that Jun Yiran frowned.
Ye Qinghan snorted and pushed aside the chiliarchs in front of him. He stepped forward and looked straight at Jun Yiran. "As a chiliarch of the Imperial Army, if you want to arrest someone, you should at least ask for the reason. I am the Snow Scar Army's Deputy Superintendent, Zuo Feng. This is the Military Saint, Jue Wuxin. It's normal that you don't know me, but it's impossible that you don't know Jue Wuxin, right? Our positions are similar. Even if we're guilty, it's not up to you to arrest us. Besides, we're not guilty! "
"Whether you're guilty or not is not up to you. Let alone the fact that you're just a deputy superintendent, even if you were a Border Army Legion Commander and dared to fight in the Holy City, this seat would still be able to arrest you! Are you going to surrender, or do you want this marshal to personally take action? "Jun Yiran coldly said.
Jue Wuxin wasn't willing to be arrested and thrown into the Imperial Army's prison. Once inside, he would be at the mercy of others. He drew his sword and prepared to fight, but Ye Qinghan smiled and pressed down on his hand.
"Let's follow them in. I believe that the Imperial Army won't frame innocent people," Ye Qinghan calmly said.
Jue Wuxin frowned and transmitted, "Once you enter the Imperial Army's prison, you won't be able to get out. Don't act recklessly. If we act now, we'll attract the attention of the Military Department. Once we enter, we'll be giving up on resisting."
"Don't worry. The princes will come." Ye Qinghan shrugged and extended his hand. "Please. We'll cooperate with the investigation."
Ye Qinghan didn't resist, so Jue Wuxin could only give up and follow the Imperial Army. As for Li Quan, he was dragged away by several City Guards, screaming miserably.
However, the Imperial Army didn't make things difficult for Ye Qinghan's group. At the very least, they didn't have the strength to restrict them, so they could walk freely.
The group quickly left the scene of the incident. The old man from the stall was also taken away, but the spies from the various factions quickly left.
The Ninth Prince was the first to react. After all, the Imperial Army and City Guards were his men. When he learned that Jun Yiran had captured Zuo Feng and Jue Wuxin, he even forgot to wash up and led a group of Imperial Army soldiers to the Imperial Army's prison.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince, Sixth Prince, and Seventh Prince slapped their thighs and led their trusted aides to the Imperial Army's prison.
The princes were even faster than Jun Yiran. They were stopped before they even reached the prison.
Outside the Imperial Army's prison, there was an open space. The Imperial Army was heavily guarded and filled with murderous intent. The aura of death and resentment was heavy. It was likely that many people had died unjustly here.
The Fourth Prince and the others stopped Ye Qinghan, especially the Ninth Prince. He was deeply involved in this matter. If he didn't handle it well, he would thoroughly offend Ye Qinghan and Jue Wuxin.
"What happened? Why did you capture the Left General and the Military Saint? Commander Jun, what are you doing? "The Ninth Prince pretended to be angry and asked angrily.
"This Prince is also very curious. The Snow Scar Army made great contributions at the border. If they were captured as soon as they entered the city, wouldn't the Border Army be disappointed? Ninth Brother, Fourth Brother wants an explanation from you! If the world treats heroes like this, who will protect the Snow Empire and the God Realm? "The Fourth Prince was the smartest and was the first to speak.
"This Prince also has the same idea!" The Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince said in unison.
The Ninth Prince's face darkened. He stared at Jun Yiran, hoping that he could give a reasonable answer.
"Reporting to Your Highnesses, Jue Wuxin and Zuo Feng beat up Li Quan, the son of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. Private fights are not allowed in the Holy City. This General was only carrying out his duty and brought them here to investigate. If you don't believe me, Your Highnesses can ask them," Jun Yiran replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Ye Qinghan smiled but did not say anything. He let Jue Wuxin handle the matter and stood at the back in a low-key manner.
Jue Wuxin could not suppress his temper and said coldly, "Such a stubborn bully and oppressive bully, yet the City Guards did not care. They wanted to use a Heaven Rank Spirit Stone to buy a sacred medicine that was worth a few thousand Heaven Rank Spirit Stones. The Enforcers did not care and the old man was powerless to resist. Are we going to let them do whatever they want? Then are we going to fight on the front lines to let these stubborn bastards enjoy the fruits of their labor and oppress the common people? "
The Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince's faces changed because the ones who committed the crime were people from their side. Officials colluding to oppress the common people was a great taboo!
"I say, Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, this is your fault! How can you allow your subordinates to ruin the glory of the country? "The Sixth Prince immediately caught the two's weakness and questioned coldly.
"That's right! The criminals are not restrained, the common people have no place to redress their grievances, and the Enforcers want to capture the heroes. This Prince will definitely impartially report this matter to Imperial Father and let Imperial Father decide! "the Seventh Prince sternly declared.
Ye Qinghan inwardly laughed. There was no need to think about such petty tricks. The struggle between the Princes was nothing more than suppressing each other. There was no need for others to interfere. The internal strife between the four Princes was enough. Not only could the Imperial Army not do anything to them, they would also have to apologize and compensate with resources.
Sure enough, the Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince were furious and wanted to flip out.
