It was Liu Qianxun!!!
She didn't approach Zhao Qingtian, but instead walked up to Bai Zihe, and said with a hint of seeking praise, "How was it, great demon, did I do a great job?"
Bai Zihe's lips curved, a tacit acknowledgment.
Zhao Qingtian, however, was furious.
So many soldiers had been entranced by her, kneeling towards Bai Zihe...
This was too humiliating.
It was simply a disgrace!
And the greatest disgrace for him, Zhao, himself!
"Who are you?"
"State your name, and why are you opposing me, the Military Governor of Jiangdong Province!"
Liu Qianxun ignored Zhao Qingtian's murderous gaze, her face beaming with pride as she began to bargain with Bai Zihe, "I've done you such a huge favor this time, how will you thank me?"
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Before Bai Zihe could answer, Liu Qianxun preempted him, her words making Bai Zihe's forehead break out in a cold sweat, "Don't talk about marrying me or anything, I'm not interested in you!"
"Give me something tangible!"
"For example..."
"A sentence reduction, how about it, I think that's very fitting!"
"I'm not asking for too much, just cut twenty to thirty years off would be good."
Bai Zihe said, "No, two years at most."
"Ah?"
Liu Qianxun was taken aback, "Two years isn't enough, at least ten years!"
"Three years, no more!"
"This won't do, it has to be at least five years!"
"Fine, deal!"
As Bai Zihe agreed, Liu Qianxun suddenly realized.
She had lost, lost big time!
While the two were bargaining as if no one else was present, Zhao Qingtian's murderous intent towards Liu Qianxun surged.
First, he had been provoked by Bai Zihe today, then he had lost face in front of everyone, and now he had been outplayed by a young girl...
The murderous intent in his heart had long been accumulating to the brink of explosion.
The current disregard from the two had ignited the fuse.
*Shua!!!*
Zhao Qingtian raised his pistol and aimed it at the back of Liu Qianxun's head.
However, Liu Qianxun, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, suddenly turned around and asked with a playful sneer, "You want to shoot me to death?"
"But..."
"I don't want to die yet."
"So, you kneel down too!"
After speaking.
Zhao Qingtian felt his head grow heavy, and without realizing when it happened, he fell victim to Liu Qianxun's trick and "plop" he knelt on the ground.
Zhao Qingtian was instantly shocked, struggling and roaring angrily:
"What did you do to me?"
"Why aren't my hands and feet obeying me?"
"Witch, let me go quickly, or I'll make you pay!"
But no matter how he struggled, his entire body refused to obey, and he could only remain kneeling there firmly!
Liu Qianxun didn't take his threats seriously at all, instead teasing, "Uncle, you're too hot-tempered, stay on the ground for a while longer, it'll be better for your health."
Zhao Qingtian's nose practically smoked with rage!
"Zhao Qingtian."
Bai Zihe walked over step by step.
His gaze was calm, but his suppressed tone indicated that his heart was far from undisturbed.
Hearing his name, Zhao Qingtian could only turn his eyeballs, staring intently at him.
His eyes were filled with burning murderous intent!
"Because Qian Yuanshan said a word, you arrested me without questioning right from wrong or the cause and effect, this is 'loyalty without discernment,' crime one!"
"Because Chen Zhennan and Hong Tianyin did not help you arrest me, you want to arrest them to be held accountable, this is 'autocratic and arbitrary,' crime two!"
"Because of your nephew Wang Tianlu's words, you mobilized a large army to come and act on his behalf, this is 'private revenge,' crime three!"
"Today."
"You have committed various crimes, and I will act on behalf of heaven in front of all the people of Suhang!"
With that, Bai Zihe took out a golden needle, ready to cripple Zhao Qingtian.
Zhao Qingtian was enraged.
But all he could move was his lips and eyeballs, so he resorted to threatening him with the military, "Bai Zihe, I am under the orders of Minister Qian Yuanshan of the War Department to arrest you!"
"If you dare to hurt even a single hair of mine..."
"That is opposing Minister Qian, opposing the entire War Department, and provoking the entire Long Country!"
He was deliberately exaggerating to try and scare Bai Zihe away.
Bai Zihe sneered disdainfully, "You, a mere Military Governor of Jiangdong Province, do not represent the War Department, let alone the Long Country!"
"Moreover, even if you could represent it, the emperor himself commits a crime, he is punished the same as a commoner!"
"No one can save you today!"
Saying this, he raised his hand, and the golden needle was about to shoot out.
Just then.
*Rumble rumble!*
A thunderous roar came from the distant horizon.
The ground beneath their feet also trembled with a certain rhythm, resonating deeply!
Everyone looked up involuntarily.
Countless more soldiers, spread across all the streets of Suhang City, were approaching like a tidal wave.
At this point, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats again.
This time, the army was ferocious and imposing. Even before they arrived, the overwhelming murderous intent swept over them, making them feel a chill to the bone.
This was an iron-blooded troop, one that had definitely seen battle.
It was a truly invincible force!
Bai Zihe...
Could he still resist?
