Every time Meng Xingyun saw him, he would beat him up.
But this time, no matter what, they were all from Lingnan. Seeing him being squeezed out by a group of officials from the capital, he couldn't help but stand up.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Meng Xingyun looked at Zhang Jiadi and said, "Imperial edicts? My family has ten or eight of them. Should Your Excellency carry one with you for self-defense?"
Zhang Jiadi looked at Meng Xingyun with a solemn expression. The only non-royal prince of the Ming Dynasty, this title could no longer be suppressed by an imperial edict.
Not to mention that Meng Sanguan was the main general of the southern border, with 300,000 Lingnan cavalry under his command.
There's even a saying in the capital: "Lingnan belongs to the Meng family, not to the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Highness is too kind," Zhang Jiadi said, putting the imperial edict back into his robes. "Your Highness holds a high position and wields great power; a mere imperial edict is naturally of no concern to you."
"Hehe." Meng Xinghe didn't reply. Why would he fall into such an obvious trap? He wasn't stupid.
People had long said that the King of Lingnan was disrespectful to the imperial court and intended to rebel; otherwise, why would the emperor in the capital have sent an imperial envoy to inspect the border?
If I were to respond to his words and word got out, who knows what that person in the capital would think?
Zhang Jiadi wanted to say something, but Li Chang'an stopped him.
"Brother Yujie, forget it. I'll take responsibility for my own actions. You don't need to worry about it."
He felt that Zhang Jiadi had already been very kind.
We met by chance, and for him to stand up for me is already the greatest act of kindness and generosity.
The effeminate man before him was clearly of high status, and Li Chang'an felt embarrassed to let Zhang Jiadi continue to help him.
"Sissy, I'm the one who caused this mess. Just tell me what's wrong, don't make things difficult for my friend."
Li Chang'an spoke to Meng Xingyun.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Meng Xingyun slapped his thigh, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. Fatty Guo didn't know why he was still laughing even after being scolded, but he also forced a laugh.
"Slap!" Meng Xingyun slapped him, knocking out several of his teeth.
"You bastard, do you find this funny too?"
Meng Xingyun glared at Fatty Guo with murderous intent, then turned to Li Chang'an with a smile and said, "You're the first man to call me a sissy in front of me. You've got guts, you're a real man."
"Whether I have the guts or not, I don't know, but I do know that you probably don't." Li Chang'an looked at him with a smile, not afraid at all, and prepared to take out a Gatling gun from his backpack to reason with them.
"What a sharp tongue." Meng Xingyun ordered the guards behind him, "Meng He, go up and slap him twice."
