BXBX NOVEL Chapter 485
Chapter 485
However, the imperial envoy refused to leave despite repeated persuasion from Senior General Xu. In the end, Xu Qilang couldn’t bear it anymore and said angrily, “This is too much, do you really think that my Xu family has no men?”
Xu Qilang was young and energetic. He was usually scolded by his father and brothers, but this time, even though Xu Qilang yelled at the imperial envoy, no one in the audience stopped him. The atmosphere outside turned into a stalemate and finally, a voice, presumably the imperial envoy, sounded, “Warriors, do not be alarmed. The Xu family has treated us with disrespect, but no matter, this one will personally teach them a lesson.”
After saying that, he faced everyone in the Xu family and his voice immediately became loud and arrogant, “How dare you! You rude warriors dared to be disrespectful to an imperial envoy? His Majesty personally issued an order to hand over Zhongshan City to the friendly nation of Beirong. Do you want to resist the order or are you going to comply?”
Neither General Xu nor anyone else spoke as the courtyard was once again silent and oppressive. In the room, 5th Madam Xu quietly clenched her weapon as Mu Mingtang also clenched her hands unconsciously.
There was a stalemate in the yard before suddenly another commotion came from outside. Maybe it was because it was too quiet at the moment, but the sound of horse hooves rang clearly to Mu Mingtang’s ears.
Mu Mingtang stood up suddenly, “Your Highness?”
The people in the courtyard also turned around suddenly, before any one of the Beirong soldiers had time to react, his throat was sealed with a sword. The imperial envoy was startled by the sudden appearance of a horse and fell to the ground in a panic, “How dare you, Prince An! His Majesty has given an order to relieve you of all military authority.”
Xie Xuanchen rode his horse and rushed directly into the backyard, causing a lot of noise along the way. Fortunately, everyone in the Xu family was good at martial arts, so no one was hurt at this moment. Xie Xuanchen originally led his people to rush back to the capital to aid the situation, but on the way he received an order that was to dismiss him on the spot as the three northern towns were also ceded to the Beirong people.
Xie Xuanchen was so angry that he laughed out loud. After he finished laughing, he tore up the imperial edict in front of the envoy and took his people back to Zhongshan.
