Chapter 416: One less look, cherish the present
Lord Chen subconsciously wanted to save his reputation, but when he looked down and saw the origin of the private seal in his hand, he was shocked and his face went blank out of control.
Seeing the man's face suddenly change, Sang Zhixia snorted with disdain, his eyes seemingly casually swept over someone, and he nodded up and down with his fingers hanging by his side.
In the crowd, Xu Yu slowly lowered his brows, pulled out a small part of his scimitar and sheathed it silently.
Military Advisor Hao still didn't understand what was going on. He looked at Sang Zhixia and then at the seventh-rank official, stamping his feet anxiously: "Master Chen, quickly order the arrest!"
"This man must be in cahoots with the robbers. She must know..."
Bang!
Lord Chen's face flushed red as if a seasoning dish had been overturned. He gritted his teeth and then struck out with a thunderous palm, sending Military Advisor Hao rolling to the ground.
Advisor Hao was beaten so hard that he was dizzy. He subconsciously covered his face and cried out in injustice: "I..."
"Shut up!"
Lord Chen gave Advisor Hao a fierce kick, his eyes blazing with flames, and roared, "If you say another word, I'll chop off your head!"
"Oh, why is it that not only are the roads in Shu full of dangers, but the people are also full of deep thoughts and cunning thoughts?"
Sang Zhixia clapped her hands and sighed as if she had just watched a good show, "He's only a seventh-rank official, but his airs and prestige are even greater than those of a first-rank official in Kyoto."
"Amazing, awesome! I've really learned a lot today, don't you think?"
Ling Chu had been standing guard at Sang Zhixia's side, adding fuel to the fire when he heard the voice, and he echoed, "Master, what you said is absolutely right."
"Such a majestic official power is rare even from the imperial capital to the northwest border. It seems to be far superior to that of a general."
Sang Zhixia nodded with deep feeling. With just a few words, he threw the face and heart of the seventh-rank official into the frying pan and fried them back and forth several times.
But when Lord Chen, whose face was swollen from repeated beatings, heard this, his face turned purple and he rolled back and forth for a while, opening his mouth repeatedly but unable to utter a single useful word.
In front of a bandit like Military Advisor Hao and a group of small soldiers, a seventh-rank official is still an official of some kind.
But if facing the owner of this private seal, the mere seventh rank is indeed not a big deal.
Not to mention being a dish, it's not even worth a single chopped green onion on the table!
Unsure of the origins of Sang Zhixia, who had stepped directly on his face, Lord Chen was startled and said, "Who are you? What brings you to Shu? Why are you here?"
Sang Zhixia looked at him like a fool and gave him a piss-off smile: "You ask me?"
"you……"
"Are you worthy?"
Sang Zhixia's expression of disdain for you was clear and conspicuous. With a defiant expression, she said, "It's just a stupid dog raised by Bai Chengren. How dare you ask me why?"
"Don't say I was just wandering around here. Even if I really did something, what can you do to me?"
"Do you want the masses to torture me severely, or do you want me to be bleed to death right here and now?"
"Do you dare?"
All the words in Master Chen's heart were stuck in his throat. His face flushed and he gritted his teeth, "We are following the orders of the Governor-General and are arresting the imperial criminals!"
"No matter who you are, you must not disturb..."
"If you want to arrest someone, what's the point of blocking me and not letting me move?"
Sang Zhixia interrupted him rudely and said unhappily, "Or, without my knowledge, I was already the wanted criminal you wanted to catch?"
"Are you here to arrest me? Dare I ask what crime I've committed?"
"You...you haven't committed any crime yet, but if we find out you're connected to a wanted criminal, no matter who you are, you'll never be able to clear yourself of the connection!"
"Then go check it out."
Sang Zhixia spread her hands, inviting him to do as he pleased, and said slowly, "Take your time to investigate, and do whatever you want."
"But until you find out something, are you planning to block me like this?"
To be fair, Lord Chen sincerely felt that this ruthless woman with an unknown origin was very troublesome.
The thorny and heart-piercing feeling makes it difficult to know where to start.
The toughness shown by Sang Zhixia also caused people a headache.
Whenever he had a chance to choose, he would immediately let go of this choking and deadly evildoer, so as to avoid being angered to death on the spot.
But Bai Chengren was furious, so he didn't dare to let go.
Anyone could tell something was amiss when Sang Zhixia appeared here.
If he releases the person rashly, there will be endless troubles and he will be the one who gets into trouble in the end.
Master Chen was tormented for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said, "You can't leave."
Sang Zhixia's eyes flickered slightly, and she sneered, flicking her fingertips, and said slowly: "If you say so, I won't leave even if you chase me away."
"What if I leave now and you guys frame me as an accomplice to the criminal?"
The seventh-rank official was choked and speechless again.
Sang Zhixia sneered disdainfully: "Where is the Governor's Mansion?"
Ling Chu lowered his head and added: "The west of Anyang City belongs to the main road, which is the residence of the Governor-General of Shu."
"It's good to know Dao'er."
Sang Zhixia raised her chin towards the seventh-rank official, her expression casual, "Lead the way. I want to visit Governor Bai and explain to him how I became an accomplice of the wanted criminal."
If Sang Zhixia had shown a little bit of fear at this moment, the situation wouldn't have been so awkward.
But when she started talking about Bai Chengren, it was as if she was talking about some cat or dog. There was no respect in her words, and her every move made people feel uneasy.
Lord Chen was very unsure, but after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency is not in the Governor's Mansion at the moment, and is staying in Ancheng."
"It will be the same if you come with me to visit Ancheng."
Hearing the sound, Sang Zhixia looked at him meaningfully and snorted subtly.
The seventh-rank official's face turned purple under her disdainful gaze, and he took a deep breath: "Assign a team of people to follow me back to Ancheng, and the rest of you continue to chase!"
"you……"
"Does this little mountain official really not know etiquette?"
Ling Chu, the guard, stopped Master Chen and snatched the private seal from his hand, frowning unhappily: "Don't you even know how to address me?"
The official, feeling a sharp blow to his heart, trembled with anger. He suppressed his anger and turned sideways: "It is my humble servant who is ignorant of etiquette and offended me."
"It's just that the road to Ancheng is difficult to travel, and the Governor isn't a very kind person. I just hope you can maintain your composure when you're in his presence, and don't let the stones on the road trip you."
Sang Zhixia tutted indifferently and said lightly, "A lowly official like you has so many things to worry about."
"Instead of staring at my feet, I should look up and take a closer look at the black hat on my head."
Sang Zhixia took control of the situation and strolled leisurely in the sight of the pursuers. However, the words she spoke were infuriating no matter how hard she tried: "After all, we probably won't be able to see that thing again in the future. One more sight is one less. Let's cherish the present."
"If you lose it, you'll never see it again."
