Ironic?

His combat prowess was clearly inferior to Xia Xinghe's, yet Old Man Chen's special position allowed Xia Xinghe to firmly place himself above him, causing him to sink into that powerless state. Was he unable to control his anger?

After being surrounded by more than a hundred guards, Old Chen was even more pleased with himself.

"Do you dare to kill me? You don't dare! " "I am an official of the imperial government. If you kill me, not to mention you, even your family will be subjected to the most brutal torture!"

Old Chen's laughter continuously lingered above the east city gate while the hundred plus guards all revealed a playful smile. Outside the city, the citizens of the outer city revealed schadenfreude, dared not to say anything, dared not to look down on them, dared not offend them and other complicated expressions. Even Lan Yiyi had an unnatural look on her pretty face …

After all, people like Old Chen, who were like him, represented the face of Chu. If a government official were to be publicly killed in the capital city, it would be equivalent to slapping the face of Chu Country, especially the Royal Chu Clan!

People like Chen Lao Dao, if they were in the wrong, there would be a justice court on the surface, but there was also the Hall of Judgement. They all specialized in punishing people like Chen Lao Dao, even if Chen Lao Dao was in the wrong, it would not be Xia Xinghe's turn to punish them!

Therefore, Chen Lao Dao indeed couldn't kill him.

However, this was only for ordinary people.

Clearly, Xia Xingchen was not an ordinary person. In his eyes, there were no restrictions or rules. In order to achieve his goal, he would use any means he wanted. This was his style!

However, Lan Yiyi was still a little unsure. Could it be that Xia Xinghe really dared to kill Chen Laoban in public?

With that thought, Lan Yiyi subconsciously shifted her gaze onto Xia Xinghe …

However, Xia Xinghe's expression did not change at all. He was still calm and composed.

Seeing Xia Xinghe in such a state, an ominous premonition immediately gushed into Lan Yiyi's heart …

Xia Xingchen disapprovingly swept his eyes over the hundred over guards, and then said with a playful tone to Old Chen, "I've never tried, how do you know I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"Is that so? "Then give it a try!" Old Chen laughed arrogantly. After he finished laughing, he stretched his neck in the direction of Xia Xinghe and patted his throat while shouting fearlessly, "Come, chop over here!"

Chen Lao Dao's appearance was completely like that of a lowly person who had achieved his goals; it was hateful and hateful.

Evidently, Old Chen was determined that Xia Xinghe wouldn't dare to make a move on him, which was why he acted so arrogantly when he was toying with Xia Xingchen.

"You really are a despicable person who uses chicken feathers as arrows." Lan Yiyi couldn't hold it in anymore. She shouted with an ice-cold expression.

"My wife, you're right. I am a despicable person. What can you do to me? What can he do to me? What would you dare to do to me? " Boss Chen threw his head back and laughed wildly. He had truly played the words and face of a lowly person to perfection.

Just at this moment, an exclamation came from the outermost crowd …

"Look!" The commander of the east gate, Xu Youzhi, is here! "

This voice attracted everyone's attention in the direction of the eastern city gates of the inner city …

A muscular man, also dressed in silver armor, yet without any sort of aura behind him. He lowered his head and obediently followed behind a valiant and magnificent golden-armored general. Behind the two of them, several dozen bronze-armored soldiers, each with solemn expressions and a murderous aura around them, slowly walked towards the direction of the gathering of the crowd.
