518: Section 518

Compared to the previous Duke Situ's Residence.

The Grand Commandant originated from the military. Besides his own stronger Cultivation Base, the retainers and Guards within his residence also had greater overall strength.

However—

In the Face of the current foundation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It was still not enough!

Therefore.

The Grand Commandant did not immediately launch an attack.

What he wanted was for Cao Yang, this Treacherous Official, to die!

Conflict with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Was not worth it!

Although he possessed the official seal, he did not place these Embroidered Uniform Guard members in his eyes.

But.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was, after all, personally appointed by the Empress.

If he openly resisted.

Even if he was in the right, he would be painted as wrong!

"Cao Yang!"

Following Cao Yang's arrival.

The Grand Commandant strode out of the residence gate with the gait of a Dragon and a tiger.

A pair of angry elderly eyes looked at the Treacherous Official, furious: "How dare you! You actually dared to surround This Duke's Grand Commandants Residence!"

"Grand Commandant, don't be angry!"

Cao Yang smiled leisurely.

"You brought men to surround This Duke's residence, and you still have the nerve to tell This Duke not to be angry?"

The Grand Commandant narrowed his eyes.

What trick was this Smiling Tiger playing now?

"Grand Commandant, excessive Qi hurts the body!"

"Look—"

"Even someone as seasoned as you has forgotten proper etiquette!"

Cao Yang's expression was calm. He lightly brushed his fair finger, dusting the corner of his Purple-gold Python Robe.

It had just been grabbed by Liu Ruxue.

It was wrinkled... "You!"

The Grand Commandant gritted his teeth.

His complexion was ashen!

He had thought this Treacherous Official had changed his nature.

But—

He was still as arrogant and brazen as ever!

Given his status as Grand Commandant Duke.

Even if Cao Yang held a Princely title, he was only the recently enfeoffed Prince of Anbei, possessing no real authority—merely an empty title!

Last time, he had already given him Face.

This time... he actually dared to humiliate him again?

He truly didn't know how to treasure his life; he was seeking death!

"It seems the Grand Commandant truly forgot proper etiquette?"

Cao Yang glanced at him.

His gaze fell upon the Sikong, who had walked out of the residence gate alongside the Grand Commandant.

He asked with a smile: "Lord Sikong presides over the Rites and Laws of our Great Zhou. This Prince wishes to ask, what crime is it to disrespect a Prince?"

The Sikong smiled.

He did not take up the topic.

Instead, he bowed slightly: "This old man, Sikong, greets the Prince of Anbei!"

Seeing this.

Even if the Grand Commandant was extremely angry.

He could only follow suit, extremely reluctantly, and bow: "This old man, Grand Commandant, greets the Prince of Anbei...!"

Inside this Capital City.

Beneath the Son of Heaven.

It would be inappropriate for him to publicly disregard the Rites and Laws of Great Zhou.

Otherwise.

It would be striking the Empress's Face, putting him in the wrong.

After the bow.

The Grand Commandant straightened up.

The fury in his eyes could no longer be contained.

"May I ask, Your Highness—"

"What is the meaning of surrounding This Duke's residence?"

"If Your Highness does not give This Duke a reasonable explanation..."

The Grand Commandant spoke in a furious voice.

In his pair of elderly eyes.

Killing intent flashed: "Regarding today's matter, This Duke will not let it go easily!"

"Explanation?"

Contempt flashed in Cao Yang's eyes.

Then.

His tone suddenly turned cold: "This Prince commands the Embroidered Uniform Guard personally appointed by Your Majesty. We have the authority to Execute First and Report Later, granted by Imperial Authority Special Permission. Who do I need to explain myself to?"

As his voice fell.

Cao Yang waved his hand: "Men, capture the Grand Commandant!"

"Yes!"

Ding Xiu accepted the order.

He led several Martial King experts toward the Grand Commandant!

"How bold!"

The Grand Commandant was utterly enraged.

He was so angry he laughed!

He never expected this Treacherous Official to be so utterly arrogant and brazen!

He dared to seize him, the dignified incumbent Grand Commandant, without explanation or any evidence?

Hmph!

Even if the Empress were present.

She couldn't act so arbitrarily and recklessly!

Since.

This Treacherous Official was the first to be in the wrong!

Then he couldn't be blamed for taking action to seek justice and accidentally 'injuring' this Treacherous Official!

His heart turned cold.
