"Thank you, Young Master!" Zhan Tianlong said respectfully.
Xue Er also immediately withdrew from the entanglement with several people.
Immediately.
The two stood behind Bai Zihe, one on the left and one on the right.
The envoy group from the War Department also retreated at the same time, all coming to Zhang Xun's side.
"You are Bai Zihe?"
Zhang Xun stepped forward, sizing up Bai Zihe with considerable arrogance.
Bai Zihe met his gaze with cold eyes and said, "Speak if you have something to say."
A smile tugged at Zhang Xun's lips as he proudly declared, "I am Zhang Xun, the leader of the War Department's envoy group. I have come to Jiangdong Province under orders from the War Department."
Bai Zihe remained noncommittal.
In the past.
Hearing it was an order from the War Department, others would have undoubtedly welcomed them with trepidation.
But this Bai Zihe...
was so indifferent, not putting the War Department in his eyes at all. This filled Zhang Xun with rage.
Immediately, he took out an envelope: "Bai Zihe, you killed Gai Tianya, the domain lord of the War Department, and you killed Matsushima Sawakawa, an envoy from the Yingren Kingdom..."
"The War Department orders you to proceed to the capital immediately to await the War Department's judgment."
He handed the envelope to Bai Zihe as he spoke.
Bai Zihe's eyes were filled with boundless coldness as he said indifferently, "What did you just say? What order?"
Those familiar with him knew.
This was an extremely dangerous signal.
But Zhang Xun, clearly unaware, maintained his arrogant demeanor, even deliberately raising his voice: "Listen carefully!"
"Bai Zihe, the War Department orders you to proceed immediately..."
"Slap!"
Before he could even finish speaking, Bai Zihe delivered a solid slap across his face.
It distorted his jaw.
It made his face swell.
And it made him...
furious!
"Bai Zihe, you, you, you dare to hit me?"
Zhang Xun glared at Bai Zihe with extreme malice, like a venomous snake ready to devour someone.
He was representing the War Department in reading out an order!
Bai Zihe hitting him now...
was also an insult to the entire War Department, and to countless elders!
Too arrogant, too presumptuous!
"Heh."
Bai Zihe sneered, opened the letter, glanced at its contents, and then said with chilling coldness, "Since it is Qian Yuanshan inviting me..."
"What are you?"
"How dare you speak the word 'order' to me?"
As his voice fell, boundless icy energy permeated the air, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
"You!"
Zhang Xun's heart burned with rage: "Bai Zihe, the War Department is supreme, the pivot of all combat-related matters in Great Xia!"
"If you dare disobey the order, are you..."
"Going to be an enemy of the War Department?"
The War Department?
Bai Zihe sneered disdainfully.
Ever since he was ordered to be apprehended by Qian Yuanshan for killing five hundred Yingren warriors, Bai Zihe had not put the War Department in his eyes!
He immediately snorted, "A mere War Department, what is it worth?"
"Audacious!"
"Insolent!"
"Outrageous!"
"Bai Zihe, you are too rampant!"
Bai Zihe's words immediately enraged everyone from the War Department.
Truth be told.
They were the kind of people who walked around with impunity wherever they went.
This time, upon arriving here, they were first looked down upon by Zhan Tianlong, then kept waiting by him, and now they were insulted by Bai Zihe with "What is the War Department worth?"...
For a moment, everyone's anger flared up, and they roared in fury.
Zhang Xun's face became even more somber: "Bai Zihe, do you really think you are invincible just because you killed two people?"
"In the end..."
"You are just a frog in a well in Jiangdong Province, completely unaware of how high the sky is, how thick the earth is, and how vast the outside world is!"
"If you immediately kneel down and apologize to us, apologize to the War Department, there is still room for maneuver!"
"Otherwise..."
Zhang Xun's eyes narrowed, with sharp glints constantly flashing within them.
Bai Zihe suddenly laughed.
He looked at Zhang Xun in front of him and said indifferently, "Apologize, right?"
Zhang Xun thought he was scared and said arrogantly, "It's not just a simple apology, you must kneel down and..."
"Slap!"
Bai Zihe delivered another slap. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Zhang Xun was sent flying directly, spitting out a mixture of blood and teeth in mid-air, which landed on the ground with a clatter.
That wasn't all.
Before Zhang Xun could land, Bai Zihe grabbed his neck in mid-air.
"Slap, slap, slap, slap..."
Dozens of slaps were delivered in rapid succession.
