They're Friends of the Right Chancellor Too?
This is the key reason why he remained unmoved after listening to the three people's words.
The Left and Right Chancellors had never gotten along, and they were rivals in the imperial court.
Neither side would yield.
Since these two might be friends of the Left Chancellor, we must not let them leave.
Whether they are barbarians from Desolate Province or not, they cannot leave this restaurant today.
Killing them on the spot would weaken the Left Chancellor's forces.
If we catch it alive, it's also a bargaining chip.
It's a deal that's guaranteed to make a profit.
The three members of the Situ Family were furious and shouted, "How dare you, Zhao Hao, touch my Prime Minister's friend?"
Zhao Hao ignored him and waved his hand, saying, "Men, keep an eye on them. Don't let them ruin our business."
"Yes!"
A squad of Imperial Guard received the order and surrounded the three members of the Situ Family, forming a rudimentary battle formation.
Chen Ning witnessed everything that had just happened, but felt somewhat helpless.
I thought that with the three members of the Situ Family showing up, I wouldn't need to reveal my identity, which would be unnecessary.
But judging from the current situation, this Left Prime Minister isn't so arrogant after all.
They even dared to defy a commander of the Imperial Guard.
That won't work either...
How did Situ Zhuikong have the courage to come and flirt with the little girl?
How dare you?
Chen Ning walked to Su Ling'er's side, then looked directly at Zhao Hao and asked, "Is it not allowed even though I'm a friend of the Left Prime Minister?"
"How could a barbarian like you from Desolate Province possibly curry favor with the current Left Chancellor?"
Zhao Hao sneered, "Go! Take down these two barbarians!"
"Then don't blame me for not warning you."
Chen Ning coughed lightly, preparing to reveal his identity.
This feeling is somewhat similar to a TV series I watched before, where the emperor, traveling incognito, would encounter a villain who would dare to speak disrespectfully to him in every place he visited.
Then, when San Dezi and Law Seals appeared, revealed their identities, and donned yellow robes, the villains were so frightened that they ran away in terror.
One word: Absolutely amazing!
Now, it's somewhat similar in meaning.
But just then, a voice rang out loudly at the entrance of the restaurant:
"Zhao Hao! Stop right there!"
A gust of wind swept by, blowing the bright silver spear out of Zhao Hao's hand.
Clang!
The silver spear fell to the ground, Zhao Hao was startled, quickly turning around to look.
Then I saw a person who was all too familiar standing at the doorway.
The current Right Chancellor Chu Fengnian.
At this moment, Chu Fengnian was panting heavily, and sweat was pouring down his face.
It's clear they rushed here.
On either side of him stood two martial artists, each exuding a restrained aura, protecting him.
"These two are my friends, how dare you touch them?"
Chu Fengnian's words shocked everyone present!
"What?! These two are not only friends of the Left Prime Minister, but also friends of the Right Prime Minister?"
"Am I seeing things? This disheveled old man is really the Right Chancellor?"
"Brother, watch your words! If you offend the Right Chancellor, don't let your death implicate me!"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
In a short period of time, not only did the Left Prime Minister's men step forward to say that the two barbarians from the Desolate Province were his friends, but even the Right Prime Minister himself came to visit.
What kind of treatment is this?
What is his/her identity?
Even the current prince doesn't weigh that much, does he?
The Right Chancellor is mature and prudent, and in terms of prestige, he is much higher than the Left Chancellor.
Now that they've come in person and claim to be your friends, what could be more unbelievable than this?
Now, many people feel that it was the right thing to not escape from the restaurant.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have witnessed such a breathtaking scene.
"Your Excellency, but..."
Zhao Hao was in a state of utter confusion; he never imagined things would turn out this way.
"No buts. If you hurt them, your head won't be enough to pay for it."
Chu Fengnian's face was gloomy, and he was filled with anger.
Thankfully, I arrived in time. If I had been any later, the two sides would have started fighting, and the task assigned by the princess would have been completely ruined.
Yesterday, he received a secret letter from the eldest princess.
This had already deeply shocked him.
The eldest princess had been lurking in the Dragon-Seeking Sect for several years without ever contacting the capital.
Now that Chu Fengnian has taken the initiative to contact him, he thought something big was about to happen, but it turns out he just wants to serve the two people in front of him well.
This is enough to show that these two people are definitely not ordinary.
This morning, upon learning that Zhao Hao was coming to capture the barbarians of the Desolate Province, he sensed something was amiss.
After inquiring with his subordinates, he learned that Zhao Hao wanted to capture the man and woman who had killed several Imperial Guards in front of the teleportation array the day before.
After matching these pieces of information, with his intelligence, he quickly guessed what was going on, and then Chu Fengnian became completely panicked.
They rushed over immediately without stopping.
If he fails to fulfill the task entrusted to him by the eldest princess, he will not be able to die peacefully.
Logically speaking, as the current Right Chancellor, he should have no need to fear a princess.
But the eldest princess was no ordinary person.
His cultivation talent is extraordinary, possessing the power to overturn rivers and seas, and he is the strongest martial artist in the entire Great Yan Imperial Dynasty.
Even within the entire Nine Provinces, the Eldest Princess is among the top-tier powerhouses.
There is one such powerful figure who is well-known throughout Spirit Province.
That was the Sword Immortal Li Changtian.
A single sword strike annihilated a dynasty.
That's terrifying.
The eldest princess is also a powerful figure at this level, so how could Chu Fengnian not feel fear?
However, compared to Chu Fengnian, Zhao Hao was completely shaken, his face ashen, and his heart sank.
How could he not have noticed some information based on the Right Chancellor's words?
His own words still echoed in his ears.
They even said how could anyone possibly curry favor with the current Left Chancellor, but now look what's happened, not only the Left Chancellor, but even the Right Chancellor has been alarmed.
Whether they are barbarians from Desolate Province or not is no longer important.
Whether or not the Imperial Guard were killed is not important.
The important thing is that these two people have transformed into people he can't afford to offend.
Snap!
Zhao Hao's knees buckled, and he knelt before Chen Ning, kowtowing and saying, "I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I have offended you both and deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
Upon seeing this, countless Imperial Guard around them quickly laid down their weapons and knelt down.
The onlookers were stunned, their expressions twitching.
These imperial Imperial Guard, who should have been enjoying immense prestige, were now kneeling before those two, trembling with fear.
The scene was absolutely breathtaking.
Faced with this scene, Chen Ning was speechless for a moment; he was still a little confused about the situation.
It's understandable that the Situ Family stepped forward, because they knew their place.
But why is the current Right Chancellor also coming to help?
Immediately, Cang Yue's stunningly beautiful face appeared in his mind.
Only then did he realize, "Oh, so that's how it is..."
"Young friend, it was my negligence that disturbed you. I am truly sorry. Why don't you come with me to the Prime Minister's residence and stay there, so that I can show you some hospitality?"
Chu Fengnian stepped forward and said with a smile.
"No need, we need to go back. Please activate the teleportation array."
Chen Ning said it calmly.
Chu Fengnian nodded repeatedly. "Alright, I will immediately send someone to activate the teleportation array and personally escort my young friend there."
Chen Ning nodded and walked out with Su Ling'er and Chu Fengnian.
Inside the restaurant, hundreds of Imperial Guard remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.
After following Chu Fengnian through several long streets, Su Ling'er, who was beside Chen Ning, suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Ning, "Sect Leader Brother, Ling'er may not be able to go back for the time being..."
