"Sir? This..." The guard suddenly looked panicked and hurriedly asked, "Should we meet the commander in the front yard?"
"No need, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to hide anything," Zhong Mingwei nodded to the guard, "Hurry up and invite them in to chat!"
"Yes, I'll go right away." The guard said in disbelief and stepped out.
"Sir, you are right. Prince Rong finally remembered that we are coming to the Zhili Governor's Office," Fu Zhongtian looked at Zhong Mingwei with a smile, "I am afraid that the commander will be frightened in a while."
"I'm worried about this, too," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. He took a sip of tea, looked at Kong Wenmin beside him, and then instructed, "Wenmin, remember to take good care of the commander-in-chief later. Don't slack off."
"Okay! Just hold it, sir!" Kong Wenmin agreed immediately and stood up and walked towards the Crescent Gate.
The group was chatting and laughing freely. After a while, they saw the guard leading Ling Shian into the backyard. Ling Shian was surprised to hear the constant laughter in the backyard. He followed the guard into the crescent gate and saw a group of people sitting under the flower stand to enjoy the cool. He was stunned and turned around to escape as soon as he realized what was happening. However, Kong Wenmin, who had been waiting there since early morning, stopped him and said, "General Ling, it's been a long time since we last met."
"Kong Wenmin! You are really a rebel in the same group as Prince An!"
Ling Shi'an was furious and was about to draw his sword, but Kong Wenmin suddenly grabbed his wrist. Ling Shi'an struggled but couldn't get free, so he kicked Kong Wenmin's knee. Kong Wenmin dodged nimbly, pinched Ling Shi'an's wrist and turned around, then was pinned to the wall by Ling Shi'an, and then "pa pa" kicked Ling Shi'an's inner knee twice. Ling Shi'an grimaced in pain, but he endured it and didn't make a sound. He just felt unbearable pain in his knee. His knee must have been broken by Kong Wenmin's kick, and he couldn't exert any strength anymore. He could only let Kong Wenmin tie him up.
"I'm telling you, you don't have any flaws, except for two things," Kong Wenmin said as he tied up Ling Shi'an. "First, your kung fu is too poor. With your third-rate skills, I can easily beat ten people alone. If you weren't smart, how could Prince Rong let you be his personal bodyguard? Second, you are too arrogant. Otherwise, you wouldn't have dared to come to the governor's office with just a dozen people to ask for someone."
Ling Shi'an was ridiculed in public and seriously injured. Of course he was frightened and angry. He didn't refute at this time, but was thinking about how to escape. However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of a foolproof plan, so his face looked very ugly.
"Master, he has been tied up. He can't run away. Just ask whatever you want to ask." Kong Wenmin grabbed Ling Shian's collar and dragged him directly in front of Zhong Mingwei. He then pulled over a stool and sat in front of Ling Shian.
Zhong Mingwei put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ling Shian with a sullen face: "What happened in the palace on the night of June 30th?"
"The retired emperor's condition suddenly worsened, and he summoned His Highness to the palace. His Highness immediately entered the palace and has been serving the retired emperor respectfully," Ling Shi'an gritted his teeth. He looked up and met Zhong Mingwei's eyes, then curled his lips sarcastically, "The retired emperor also summoned Your Highness at that time, but when I was ordered to go to Prince An's Mansion to invite Your Highness to the palace, the Prince An's Mansion was empty. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity. If Your Highness had followed me into the palace that night, you would have witnessed how the retired emperor personally passed the throne to His Highness."
