"So, this Chen family member from the capital is not allowed to enter the city because he is causing trouble down there?" Zhang Tianci looked displeased.
The servant nodded.
"These bunch of good-for-nothings, don't they know to kick him out? Why are they getting more and more noisy? Do you still need me to teach them about this?" Zhang Tianci secretly observed Chen Qing's reaction, and seeing that Chen Qing had a blank expression on his face, he deliberately snorted coldly to show his authority in front of Chen Qing.
The servant smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, a centurion has already gone to chase them away, but I didn't expect that this Chen family member from the capital is such a ruthless character, and he killed the centurion!"
Swish!
Zhang Tianci and Chen Qing stood up instantly, both with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"What did you say?"
Zhang Tianci wondered if he had heard it wrong?
"He killed a centurion?"
The subordinate nodded.
A hint of deep anger flashed across Zhang Tianci's eyes.
The governor of Mancheng controls eight thousand elite soldiers. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Killing a centurion is tantamount to slapping the face of the governor of the barbarian city.
The governor of Mancheng is Zhang Tianci's biological father. If he slaps his father in the face, isn't that the same as slapping himself in the face?
"How dare he kill even my people. This is Barbarian City. Does he think this is his capital?"
Zhang Tianci snorted coldly, and suddenly, he looked at Chen Qing.
After all, Chen Xuan is a member of the Chen family, and Chen Qing's branch of the Chen family holds a pivotal position in Mancheng.
Therefore, even though Zhang Tianci is very angry now, he still has to give face to the Chen family and listen to what Chen Qing has to say.
"Mr. Qing, what do you think about this matter?"
Chen Qing's face was gloomy. His original intention was to let the soldiers guarding the city stop Chen Xuan outside the city to give him a warning and not let Chen Xuan enter the city. He wanted to make things difficult for him deliberately and wear down Chen Xuan's morale so that he could be controlled more easily in the future.
If you can control him, then control him. If you can't control him, then find a way to kill him by accident.
Don't think that Chen Qing just said something like replacing someone else's family. He is ambitious and wants to take over the Chen family in Beijing.
In fact, he himself knew clearly that with the current strength of the Chen family branch in Mancheng, it was pure wishful thinking to want to replace the Chen family in Beijing.
The Chen family in the capital has only weakened its control over the branches of the Chen family that have spread out outside, but it is not useless. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its influence is still there.
If we really come to it, it is more than enough to take drastic measures to eliminate the disobedient branch!
Therefore, Chen Xuan can die, but he must not die now.
He had just come from the capital and died right away. What would the Chen family members in the capital think?
What will the patriarch think?
If the time comes and you are asked to give an explanation for one of the branches, how will you do it?
However, if you kill it quietly after a period of time, the situation will be different.
At that time, the Chen family branch could give an excuse that Chen Xuan was not acclimatized to the climate here, or was poisoned by a scorpion, or offended bandits and was assassinated.
Chen Qing's face was uncertain, he clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally sneered:
"It seems that Chen Xuan is a tough nut to crack. I wanted to give him a warning, but he actually gave me a warning."
Zhang Tianci's eyes flashed with coldness, and he raised his hand and wiped his neck: "So, Master Qing means..."
Chen Qing shook his head and said, "Send more people to kill him first. As for his life, keep it for now."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianci nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll listen to Master Qing."
As he said this, he gave a look to the man beside him.
The subordinate understood what he meant, nodded, and quietly retreated.
At the same time, downstairs in the city wall.
A sound of orderly footsteps came from the city, and then a large group of soldiers armed with weapons rushed out, there were more than a thousand of them, and they surrounded Chen Xuan and his group.
"Who dares to attack my men?"
A burly man came out riding a tall horse, with a fierce aura about him.
"Master, it's him!"
Immediately, one of his men pointed at Chen Xuan.
The centurion's sharp eyes immediately stared at Chen Xuan.
In an instant, the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees suddenly!
Anyone who can climb to the position of a thousand-man commander in a place like Barbarian City is not an ordinary person. He is definitely someone who has crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
After all, Mancheng is on the border of the Dagan Dynasty, where there have been wars for many years, and there are many bandits and constant fighting.
The centurions, captains, and generals here are all well-trained and tempered.
In fact, the centurion who was just strangled to death by Chen Xuan was actually Chen Xuan, so he was able to kill him so easily.
If it were someone else, for example, Liu Jinyu, even though Liu Jinyu's realm was higher than the other party, he had more practical experience and it would take more than a dozen rounds to defeat him!
"It's bad, Boss, we've really hit a wall this time."
"Master Chen is too impulsive. How could he just come up and strangle the centurion to death? Now the matter has become a big deal."
A group of bandits from Liufeng Village all had bitter looks on their faces.
In the past, when the bandits were robbing in the mountain, they always took advantage of their numbers and acted arrogantly.
Now, there are more people in this place than them!
"Oh, this soldier has a fierce look, he looks so fierce, will my husband be harmed?"
Xu Ruolan was frightened by the presence of so many people, especially the captain, whose eyes were as sharp as a steel knife, making people dare not look him in the eye.
Li Xiuning and the others also showed worried expressions. Things had come to this point, how should they end?
On the other hand, An Ruxue, who usually had an expressionless and cold face, showed a faint smile when she saw this situation.
"You're the one who killed me?"
The centurion sat on a tall horse, holding a sword and pointing at Chen Xuan.
His voice was very powerful and heavy, sounding like the King of Hell demanding someone's life.
"It's me."
Chen Xuan took a step forward and looked directly at the captain.
The captain didn't expect that Chen Xuan was not intimidated by his aura and was slightly surprised.
But soon, this surprise turned into anger.
Not only did the other party kill his people, but they were also not afraid of him. If this isn't a provocation, what is?
"Kill a man for a life. Since you don't know how to live or die, I'll send you to hell!"
The centurion drew his sword and prepared to take action.
“Wait!”
Liu Jinyu suddenly shouted, "We are from the Chen family, and this gentleman is a direct descendant of the Chen family. You dare to attack us? That would be an offense to the Chen family!"
He really had no other choice. He really didn't want to have a conflict with these people, so he could only move out of the Chen family, hoping that the centurion would be afraid.
